The Official Naruto series Thread

That's what I thought.

Man, one really could make an argument that if Kishi hates anyone it's Team 8. Hates them almost as much as Kubo hates Komamura.

That makes me wonder exactly why Kurenai was even a character to begin with. Kubo hates Komamura?

Because Team 8 needed a sensei.

And yes, he does.

They could've been given Anko then.

Personally I though he hated Chad with a passion cosidering what he does to him whenever he gets a victory.

Anko is legitimately awesome.

Then who would do her job?

Chad? Pffft. Chad at least gets to fight. Wolf boy has had one actual fight, with Ikkaku's sloppy seconds, and every other time he has appeared onscreen he has been beaten up by someone. Aizen makes me smile every time he beats the shit out of Wolf boy.

Well obviously in not as funny a way. But yeah, he used that as the evidence that Kishi was pleased with his "ruining" of Sasuke's character.

I prefer Kiba to Shino in all honesty. Some character and all that jazz.

His way was probably funnier. 😛

I suppose he's a better character than Shino. He's annoying though. Only time I liked him was when he fought Sakon & Ukon, and showed how much he cared for Akamaru.

Hinata would have been kicked out of T8 then. Literally.

Why would Hinata be kicked out? Considering she'd be around someone who's purpose isn't dedicated to baby-making.

Anko would not have the patience to put up with Hinata though. I say this not because it's mean but because it's probably true.

Assuming Anko was asked to take over Kurenai's position, she would have booted Hinata because she was of not much help. Part 2 Hinata is a different story though.

Really, Guy or Kakashi would have been the best sensei for Hinata.

C'mon, Anko could share her secrets of awesomeness and gravity defying trench coats w/fish-nets 🙂

Though I agree that Kakashi would've been the best considering he dealt with Part 1 Sakura of all people.

Because Kakashi gave so many shits about Sakura? Hinata's even more emotional and girl. Nah, Guy would be the best.

No, because Hinata would be in the presence of an Uchiha...and some blonde guy.

Hmm....well the chick on Gai's team is even more irrelevant that Shino.

Well he did save her life....

But I agree. Guy would have broken her out of her shell.

But how would he deal with the whole Hyuuga hate thing? Not saying that he wouldn't be the best choice cause he would be now that I think about it.

He in all seriousness helped the ninja world's equivalent of Helen Keller become a good ninja. Hinata's daddy issues will be cake.

Kakashi barely taught Sakura a damn thing. She only made any improvement when Tsunade took over. TBH I think Kakashi is a pretty rubbish mentor.

Well he clearly plays favorites...or in all fairness, was given a student that was easy to train and two that weren't. He did help Sakura develop genjutsu talent and probably would have made it her fighting style had he continued with her.

to be fair, Kakashi had a jinchuriki and Sasuke, who had his own shit going on... Sakura was kind of an after thought; besides, in part 1, it's not like she actually gave a damn about being a good ninja.
