History DieForOurShip / Naruto

**** Though this comes at the end of the Chapter, meaning that most reactions will probably be too premature. It's likely that there's a twist, such at least one of the two was being impersonated, or that Rin meant for this to happen, or [[spoiler: Heck, if Obito could survive, why not Rin? She's a medical ninja, and she could certainly heal herself. Knowing this series, Rin will make an appearance in the present day... somehow because if she's truly dead, Kabuto was resurrecting EVERYBODY else's friends and families, even pulling out Sai's brother. So why not Rin? It would certainly mess with Kakashi, but it would certainly mean that Kabuto could figure out Obito is Tobi for two reasons: either Obito puts Rin's body off limits, or Obito insisted that she not battle because he doesn't want to lose her again (which is unlikely because Obito is still going on with his plan.) Kabuto still didn't know that Obito was Tobi, only that he wasn't the real Madara.]]

* [[FanOfUnderdog Hinata Hyuga]] is bashed a lot for liking Naruto or ([[ShippingGoggles according to some fans]]) [[KissingCousins her cousin Neji]]. There are several fics where Hinata finds out that Naruto has the Kyuubi trapped inside him and proceeds to hate or fear him, only to be slapped into shape by Sakura. (The idea was {{Jossed}} in Ch. 355-356, when she doesn't react when it's mentioned around her). There's also the hate she receives for her characterization as a ShrinkingViolet and a developing YamatoNadeshiko, with such fans saying that "[[RealWomenNeverWearDresses she's too weak and shy and doesn't deserve Naruto]]". Naruto/Hinata and Naruto/Sakura pairing wars get ugly; it's always assumed that Naruto/Hinata fans bash Sakura (a majority of them don't), and Naruto/Sakura fans bash Hinata (again, a majority of them don't).
** Has become ''specially'' ugly lately, since [[spoiler: Naruto has saved Hinata's life in the middle of the Shinobi War and has aknowledged her as a strong person.]] The Sasuke/Naruto shippers on several places (specially {{tumblr}}) have gone '''berserk''' at that, pouring tons o shit on poor Hinata and the Naru/Hina shippers.
** The Naruhina fans have, at times, even taken to use things that the Narusakus through at them as good things, such as making her stalker with a crush tendencies and making it cute or a sign of love. Though even they do point out it can be considered creepy.

** Everybody attacks Sakura's mother.
*** [[ForTheLulz That bitch.]]
**** Naruhina too

** Its true. He gets turned into a far more horrid individual in so many fanfictions its rare to find one where he isn't a complete monster.

*** It Gets Worse: Chapter 604 reveals an event that certainly explains why Obito is evil: [[spoiler: Kakashi killed Rin, via arm through the chest.]] Who knows how the FanDumb will react to that.

** Which will probably be squashed out soon due to the fact that it isn't because she refused a romantic relationship with Obito [[spoiler:that caused him to become Tobi]] (in fact, she wasn't even aware he had feelings for her until after his [[spoiler:"death"]]), it's because she ''died''.

* Rin, the CombatMedic in training that was in a PowerTrio with Kakashi and Obito in the past, got quite a bit of snorts and bashing from fans because of the LoveTriangle: Obito liked her, Rin liked Kakashi instead, and Kakashi [[spoiler: felt that he couldn't return her feelings after Obito's death.]] The heat, however, has started to take quite a bit of misogyny-based force after [[spoiler: a recent chapter revealed that Obito grew into the very shady and evil Tobi from the Akatsuki]], which the FanDumb intepreted as [[spoiler: her being at fault for Obito's FaceHeelTurn]] and then "translated" into [[spoiler: "Fucking bitch, she didn't give Obito vagina, now he's evil. IT'S HER FAULT"]]

* Sasuke gets this sometimes, too, which is only natural given what a BaseBreaker he is - it's not too hard to find people that don't want him anywhere near their preferred girl/couple. This is mostly Naru/Saku shippers - which gives them an opportunity to have Sakura realise how much better Naruto would be as a partner (at least when they don't exaggerate it) - but some others who are protective of their favourite characters take extra care Sasuke won't dare interfere. Fact is, though, in FanFiction it's actually not that hard to take Sasuke's negative traits UpToEleven with a little work, making him a villain handily enough ''without'' making him unrecognisable... that is, if they don't just kill him outright (seriously, some writers have even written Wave-AU-Fics where Sasuke is killed by Haku, an incident he survived in canon).

* There's a fair amount regarding the Ino/Shikamaru/Temari triangle. Shika/Tema fans often turn Ino into a [[AlphaBitch shallow and shrill bimbo]] who only thinks of her looks and is [[BrainlessBeauty way too stupid for Shikamaru]]. Shika/Ino fans often bash Temari by making her a domineering and cruel {{Yandere}}-bitch who stops at nothing to make Shikamaru hers. Now, a new girl named [[NerdGlasses Shiho]] has taken a romantic interest in Shikamaru, becoming the triangle's ThirdOptionLoveInterest; ''both'' Shikamaru/Temari and Shikamaru/Ino fans want her to die in a fire.

* Asuma, one half of the few '''offical''' couples in the series, gets treated poorly in some fics that pairs Kurenai with Kakashi.

There are very few people in ''{{Naruto}}'' who ''don't'' [[DieForOurShip get bashed for one reason or another in terms of shipping]].

In general, most of this sheer amount of DieForOurShip arises from ''Naruto'' being one of ''the'' longest {{Shonen}} series in recent history, and there being a lot of filler (in the anime) and a fair amount of {{Narm}} in the storytelling as a result. Hence the annoying traits of the characters are drawn out and emphasized along with their good points. As CharacterDevelopment tends to occur over a ''looong'' time frame with many points being [[{{Anvilicious}} hammered in hard]] over time, this results in relationship development being delayed to coincide with character growth (It also helps that Sasuke is gone from the village and Naruto unwilling to end up with Sakura until he brings Sasuke back, preventing two of the key players in the LoveDodecahedron from acting on anyone's feelings). This isn't a criticism of the series, it's just a consequence of its long life, serial nature, and Shonen audience. However, as a result it gives ''ample'' time for the fans to examine the canon material with a fine tooth comb and dwell extensively on examples and aspects of characters they don't like or simply find too annoying and [[RunningTheAsylum plot and scheme about slow-growing relationships]]. Hence why if you look through any [[FireAndBrimstoneHell 4chan message boards]] [[ShmuckBait you'll]] [[NightmareFuel not only find enough fanfic to keep you covered until the end of the known universe]] but [[NauseaFuel you'll also need]] a very '''very''' large container of BrainBleach. No, really.

* Sai not only gets criticism from Shika/Ino shippers, but also gets lots of flak [[spoiler:from Naru/Hina shippers for telling Sakura how much Naruto loves her]], even though it's shown later that he's no ShipperOnDeck, in fact suggesting that [[spoiler:Naruto's promise to bring back Sasuke for Sakura's sake is causing him no small amount of pain]]. This is partly because Sakura [[spoiler:initially assumes that if she offers Naruto her love (sincerely or falsely), he will give up on Sasuke, although this most likely was not what Sai had in mind]].

[[caption-width:321:According to FanDumb, Sakura is stupid for not leaving her "love rival" Hinata to die. LOLWAT.]]

** It doesn't help that he was emotionally repressed and he feel into total stoic mode because the only person he cared for like a brother died. He reads books on relationships and love because he can't understand it by himself. In the real world, he would have to undergo intense therapy (actually {{ThereAreNoTherapists a lot of characters need to}}). Then there are the fan fics that depict him reading porn that makes him decide to capture a female cast member and try it out on top of the fact he doesn't know sexual assault is wrong, effectively calling him an ignorant rapist. This is despite the fact that he must already know what sex is because we see him insult Naruto by stating that his "package" must be small. That just indicates that he probably knows what "packages" are for and why it is an {{FridgeLogic insult in the first place}}.
