1, because this author has proven fickle when it comes to developing relationships in the past, 2, no one actually cites any credible sources for the assertions that Hinata was created before Sakura

Changed line(s) 13 (click to see context) from:

** Anyone familiar with the conventions of {{Shonen}} would tell you that the obvious candidate for the title character's final love interest is Sakura, the {{Tsundere}} object of his comical one-sided affections. Yet for years of the manga's run, most of western fandom rooted for Naruto to turn around and notice ShrinkingViolet StalkerWithACrush Hinata. Despite a crippling weakness on the front of actual interaction, [[PortmanteauCoupleName NaruHina]] had been popular enough to get plenty of ShipTease in {{Filler}}, a date in a HighSchoolAU bonus feature and a canon-defying RelationshipUpgrade in [[NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm2 a video game adaptation series]]. Only after over 5 years(!) of running time did the manga apparently start treating it as a serious possibility. [[spoiler: This trend grew gradually stronger throughout the later arcs, to the point where this item really only belongs on this list as a fandom-historical point of interest]]. An interesting bit of trivia is that in the original outline of the manga, two years before it became serialised, Sakura did not exist yet, but Hinata did. It's anyone's guess what her original purpose was, and what process exactly led to Sakura's introduction.

** Anyone familiar with the conventions of {{Shonen}} would tell you that the title character's final love interest was supposed to be Sakura, the {{Tsundere}} object of his comical one-sided affections. Yet for years of the manga's run, most of western fandom rooted for Naruto to turn around and notice ShrinkingViolet StalkerWithACrush Hinata. Despite a crippling weakness on the front of actual interaction, [[PortmanteauCoupleName NaruHina]] had been popular enough to get plenty of ShipTease in {{Filler}}, a date in a HighSchoolAU bonus feature and a canon-defying RelationshipUpgrade in [[NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm2 a video game adaptation]] (and again in the next installment . Only after over 5 years(!) of running time did the manga apparently start treating it as a serious possibility, and [[spoiler: as of chapter 615, the two have gone through what looks an awful lot like a RelationshipUpgrade, and are suddenly now somewhere in the gray area between 'serious possibility' and 'actually canon']]. This particular RomanceArc further crosses the line into "just what the hell is going on, anyway" territory once you consider that in the original outline of the manga, ''two years'' before it became serialised, Sakura did not exist yet, but Hinata did. God only knows ''why'', and what exact process led from there to Sakura being the lead female and the object of Naruto's affection in the first place. Evidence seems to suggest this particular curiousity may have merely been another instance of Kishimoto's habit of [[WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants writing by the seat of his pants]].
