History DieForOurShip / Naruto

* ''Naruto'' gets it almost as bad as Sakura and worse than Sasuke. Sasuke/Sakura fans or Sakura/anyone else fans already see him as an obstacle. But what's ''really'' surprising is now Naruto/Hinata fans are giving him this treatment. In Chapter 631 he [[spoiler: told his father he considers Sakura his girlfriend ("more or less"), which is blatantly false and {{egregious}} because [[ShipSinking he outright rejected]] her infamous [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim fake love confession]] in Chapter 469 and then confirmed that he ''always'' knew [[SingleTargetSexuality she only ever loved Sasuke]] in Chapter 474. He has been called every name in the insult book because of this and now a good chunk of the Naruto/Hinata fanbase wish for his head on a platter (or at least for Hinata to slap him or something.)]] Of course, this got slapped in the face several times over in the coming chapters. [[spoiler:First, in the very next chapter, when Sakura shows the power of her Yin Seal by demolishing a bunch of Ten-Tail clones, Naruto looks ''[[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon absolutely terrified of her]]'' while Sasuke gives her a rather ''[[AmazonChaser flirty and proud smirk]]'', [[https://31.media.tumblr.com/85051a84ec0a23d61ea6a1cb05953cf8/tumblr_inline_mnjxs4bx3x1qz4rgp.png as shown here]]. Then, in Chapter 677, Naruto and Hinata are revealed to have [[MindlinkMates a deep connection]], when she mentally calls out his name in despair as she's caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi and he hears her and immediately tries to rush to her aid. Then, in Chapter 691, when Minato's fading away once and for all, and Naruto's telling him how he's following Kushina's advice, when Naruto gets to the part about finding a girl like her, he trails off without thinking about ''any'' girl, including Sakura, whose personality closely resembles Kushina's, and he even concedes that not everything is going as Kushina had hoped. Not only that, but Minato ''smiles and accepts'' that Naruto hasn't found [[OneTrueLove the right girl]] yet as he promises to tell Kushina everything anyways. Finally, in Chapter 699, Naruto is shown [[ShipperOnDeck sporting a genuinely warm smile]] as he watches [[HeelFaceTurn Sasuke apologize to Sakura]] for everything that he did to her, and then he stands by Hinata's side during Neji's funeral. Given all of this, in retrospect, back in Chapter 631, Naruto was actually not sure of his answer and said what he did because he was put on the spot, which is emphasized by his hesitance and bland facial expression]].

** There's this website aptly named [[http://imgur.com/a/XKwJ4 Hall of Anal Devastation]]. As you might have guessed, it contains all the rage from the [=NaruSaku=] shippers.

** At the end of Gaiden [[spoiler: it is revealed that the umbilical cord was from Sarada and that Sakura is her biological mother. Karin helped Sakura when she gave birth to Sarada and kept the umbilical cord, so the above "result" was a mistake. Apparently Suigetsu (who performed the test at Sarada's insistence) doesn't actually understand how DNA works and failed to realize a parent and child will have a 50% match, not 100%.]] This lead to Tumblr exploding for '''A THIRD TIME.'''

* Sasuke gets this sometimes, too, which is only natural given what a BaseBreakingCharacter he is - it's not too hard to find people that don't want him anywhere near their preferred girl/couple. This is mostly [=NaruSaku=] 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)--which actually makes [[ShipSinking what happened in Chapter 469]] HilariousInHindsight--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).

** The Sasuke/Sakura pairing actually comes under fire quite often even from people with ''no'' shipping agenda of their own for ''either'' character, simply on the grounds that the pair of them have absolutely no chemistry together whatsoever and Kishimoto writes Sasuke as a completely unlikable douche, making Sakura look genuinely stupid and immature for remaining so hung up on him. The aforementioned chapter 693 scene and the fact that [[spoiler:in the post-series story he seems to be a ''horrifically'' neglectful and uncaring husband and father]] almost seems like an in-universe acknowledgement of this line of thinking, which runs roughly "we don't care who Sakura ends up with, but we simply refuse to believe Sasuke is capable of forming a meaningful relationship with ''anyone."''

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).

* Minato is officially public enemy #1 in most Naruto/Hinata fans' eyes [[spoiler: for asking Sakura if she was Naruto's girlfriend, comparing her to his wife Kushina and asking her to take care of his son. Most wished he hadn't said anything at all when they are not calling him an idiot who "doesn't know anything about Naruto or Sakura". Apparently not knowing anything means he can't ask questions and take the answers he gets at face value. Not to mention, having been ''dead'' for the last 17 years makes it rather difficult for Minato to have already known what was going on]].
* ''Naruto'' gets it almost as bad as Sakura and worse than Sasuke. Sasuke/Sakura fans or Sakura/anyone else fans already see him as an obstacle. But what's ''really'' surprising is now Naruto/Hinata fans are giving him this treatment. In chapter 631 he [[spoiler: told his father he considers Sakura his girlfriend ("[[BlatantLies more or less]]"). He has been called every name in the insult book because of this and now a good chunk the of Naruto/Hinata fanbase wish for his head on a platter (or at least for Hinata to slap him or something.)]] Of course, [[spoiler:in Chapter 691, when Minato's fading away once and for all, and Naruto's telling him how he's following Kushina's advice, when Naruto gets to the part about finding a girl, he trails off and concedes that not everything is going as Kushina had hoped. In retrospect, this lends credence to the idea that Naruto wasn't actually sure of his answer the first time, and said what he did because he was put on the spot]].

** There's this website aptly named [[http://imgur.com/a/XKwJ4 Hall of Anal Devastation]]. As you might have guessed, it contains all the rage from the Naru/Saku shippers.

* There's a small but vicious contingent of Kakashi/Gai fans out there who absolutely ''loathe'' Iruka. Kakashi/Iruka fans, meanwhile, usually love Gai. Go figure.

* 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.

* 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 as a result of a chain of events that started with his apparent demise, and included Rin's death]], 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"]]

** It's bad enough that so many characters are treated to DieForOurShip in favor of the virtually asexual and very troubled Sasuke, but the equally virtually asexual Shino is treated to this for a ship on a much more minor scale… seriously. If there was something called shipping dissonance, the ''Naruto'' fandom would have it covered.

*** Kiba may just be the most bashed male in the series after Sasuke

** ''Sasuke'' himself gets in on the bashing in Chapter 693, when [[spoiler:he KO's Sakura with a genjutsu of him stabbing her, then coldly sneers at her for "having fun daydreaming about love" when he doesn't have rason to love her and has no idea why she fell in love with him to begin with]].

** [=NaruSaku=] shippers were so ''ridiculously'' opposed to Naruto ending up with Hinata that, after the last chapter was released, they ''[[http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/naruto-banned-in-usa started an actual petition to have the Naruto manga legally banned in the US unless Kishimoto wrote an alternate NaruSaku ending]],'' in what is probably history's ''MostTriumphantExample'' of FanDumb. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Not a word of lie.]]

** At the end of Gaiden [[spoiler: it is revealed that the umbilical cord was from Sarada and that Sakura is her biological mother. Karin helped Sakura when she gave birth to Sarada and kept the umbilical cord, so the above "result" was a mistake.]] This lead to Tumblr exploding for '''A THIRD TIME.'''

** Oh, and there is a [[SpinOff new series planned for the Spring of 2015]] that focuses on [[spoiler: these children. Get ready for new shipping wars! Boruto x Sarada? Shikadai x Himawari? Inojin x Chocho? Inojin x Shikadai?]] It has already started.

* [[TheSpock Shino]] is badly treated in the few fics about [[HotBlooded Kiba]]/Hinata. This is odd because Shino seems to have no romantic designs on Hinata at all.

** ''Sasuke'' himself gets in on the bashing in Chapter 693, when [[spoiler:he KO's Sakura with a genjutsu of him stabbing her, then coldly sneers at her for "having fun daydreaming about love" when he'd never been interested in her and has no idea why she fell in love with him to begin with]].
