It's so funny to me how he "intended" naruhina from the start but then proceeded to completely ignore that ship throughout the whole story. It's not like he needed to make a full on romance manga but for fucks sake, across 699 chapters he could have certainly inserted plenty of moments to make that ship viable. It's not like there's tons of boring ass pointless moments in part 2 that could have been easily replaced without anything being lost.
It's so dumb. Across the whole manga, the most Hinata amounted to was say "naruto-kun" while stalking and getting her ass beat. Perfect girlfriend my ass.
Even in the Pain arc when she confessed and nearly died, what does Naruto do? Nothing! Doesn't go to check up on her or anything, just gets hugged by Sakura and fucks off to do his own thing. That alone shows what a dogshit writer Kishi is.
