This is a comment I found from someone on another picture for Naruhina. I take no credit and is VERY detailed and has a lot of truth.
NaruHina makes a great couple, and there is plenty more to them than just being cute.
Although it is true that Hinata and Naruto do not interact often, they do have development. Like many NaruHina fans have repeated constantly: Panel/screentime does not equal development. In the chapter of the written Chuunin exam we see that Naruto trusts her as a good person and cares for her at least enough to not wish her to fail the test for being caught giving him the answers. In one encounter she went from being a dark weird girl to somebody he likes as a person. Those encounters are not long, but they are full of development that make lasting impressions, which explains the size of the NH fandom. Not to mention the development made so far has always been positive to their relationship.
How did Hinata come to fall for Naruto? Through observation. She noted him since they were children how everyone ostracized him cruelly, but she never went with the flow just because everyone else did it. She simply saw no reason to despise him or treat him that way, and that does say a lot about her inner strength, sense of what is and isn’t fair and of her reasonableness. People saying she’s so not impressive or special certainly never bother to make a detailed analysis of her. Not to mention her noble background not influencing her humble nature. People call her a stalker because she looked at him. They make it sound so awful… It’s not like she actually followed him home, watch him in his sleep and take pictures of him every chance she got! She looked at him due to curiosity and compassion, which is natural in children and even grown-ups. She then noticed he happened to be hardworking and determined, bold enough to say his dream is to be Hokage and an uncontrollable prankster. She happened to find him interesting and admirable. Those are the qualities for which she fell in love with him. She identified with him in the aspect of their loneliness. She was not ostracized, but the expectations her father and family had on her made her feel weak and affected her self-esteem heavily. She felt alone too because she felt nobody could understand her. That is why she has, to a small degree, an idea of what he went through in his childhood. To see him pull through despite that only increased her admiration for him. As they grew up, the more Naruto continued to pull through, and the more her feelings for him grew.
Hinata was clearly shown to believe in Naruto. She was one of the first people who believed in him. In his fight with Kiba she cheered for him inwardly and was the only one shown doing so. She even took his nindo as her own: To not give up. During her fight with Neji she showed a great deal of will by standing up even after receiving a nearly fatal attack from him. She did it because she firmly believed people can change; that is the very theme of her character, and even Naruto saw she had that will, and that got to him. That is why he acted like he could feel her losing the fight as his own defeat and so fervently swore on her blood he’d defeat Neji. Some like to say he would’ve done that for anybody. I disagree. Yes, he might have promised to defeat Neji if he had only insulted whoever it is that in their minds replaces Hinata in that arc, but how can they be sure he would’ve been so fierce in his cheering for that character in the fight, if he would’ve also done the blood oath so vehemently and felt it so personal with anybody else? I would say that wouldn’t have been unless that character also had showed the determination she showed then, which does apply to others but not to ‘anybody’.
In the invasion of Pain, she did not stop believing in him. She herself admitted she knew she couldn’t take on him. He was for one nailed to the ground and was frustrated for not having an answer for him regarding a way to bring peace; I doubt his frustration escaped her very good eyes. Things did not look favorable to him at all. Even then, she did not say he shouldn’t fight anymore. She likely knew he would have to stand up and fight again, but she wanted to do everything in her power to help him if only a little. She was willing to die protecting him. That not only shows her love but also her faith in him.
NaruHina’s base is the fact that they can complement each other well since they are different but still work well.
Looking back, Sakura didn’t like Naruto in the least initially. She didn’t interact with him pleasantly before they were in the same team. It is understood that Naruto’s feelings for Sakura are not based on any special occurrence, and he clearly doesn’t know her all that well. If he knew what makes her happy, by all means he would’ve done that to get her to go out with him. So, it is about safe to assume he liked her because she is pretty. In his encounter with Haku, he was surprised when he found out Haku was male as he had thought he was prettier than Sakura. We see Naruto’s feelings were a little shallow, which is understandable considering he grew up loveless. Anyhow, to him, she was the prettiest girl of his class, probably all of Konoha. So, wouldn’t her dating him bring as an indirect consequence acceptance among others? Maybe he wasn’t directly making that connection, but acknowledgement was what he used to seek in the beginning. That is why he pulled so many pranks. He wanted people to notice him. He wanted people to like him, to have friends. He had nobody to believe in him either. While I am not saying Sakura is incapable of giving him this, Hinata has already shown it in a prominent way. Hinata would be able to give him that which he sought then and to a degree would still help him by doing her very best to assist him in any way she can. It is already a fact she would be willing to die for him, so we can assume she would be there for him no matter what. Even though more people are accepting him with time, few believe in him as strongly as Hinata does. That is why I believe he could benefit were he to ever have such a relationship with her. Considering that Naruto’s feelings for Sakura have remained somewhat static during the progress of the story as far as I perceive, I would not find him giving Hinata a chance eventually as impossible. The only thing that is certain is that both are plausible.
As for Hinata, it is clear he has had nothing but positive effects on her with his influence. He is her role model. His nindo became her own. It is thanks to him that she changed into a more determined and stronger person. She did it because it was her wish, though. She did not change for him to like her, as a few say. From where I stand, there is no better relationship than that from which we ourselves can grow and become better. As an interesting saying says “I don’t like you for who you are, I like you for who I am when I am with you”. Though, in Hinata’s case, who he is turned her into her current self.
Some argue that although it is important for two people in such a relationship to be different, they shouldn’t be exact opposites, and I agree. While Naruto is extroverted and Hinata introverted, however, they are not really polar opposites. They do have something in common, and I believe even in real life the members of a couple should have that in common: Ideals. They both believe people can change. They both believe that hard work can lead to becoming stronger, regardless of how natural your talent is. They both believe that no matter how distant or difficult a goal may seem, if you try you can make it. They both are the type that would put their own lives in the line for people they care about. Hinata proved in her confession she can be as impulsive and reckless as him when her heart truly feels the need to.
From that perspective, it is more than feasible to think they could work together and have a positive outcome from each other’s influence. In canon, I sure hope they continue this one thing regardless of them being involved romantically. I cannot say whether or not Naruto will give her a chance and move on from his crush on Sakura or if his feelings about her will be changed in any way; only Kishimoto knows that. However, I will always be able to say, even if NaruSaku were to be canon, that NaruHina is a pairing with one of the most beautiful concepts behind it I’ve seen in anime/manga.
Hinata's confession backs this up:
Naruto was stuck in the ground and injured but conscious nonetheless. Hinata is also facing the possibility that she can die in this fight, never to see him again if she does, but that is not what drove her to act the way she did. She was there because she could not bear to not help the person she cared for the most while he was in danger. She acted in the spur of the moment, yet she did not regret it. Her words would let Naruto understand her actions, and perhaps she also knew it was her last chance to tell him her feelings. Nonetheless, unlike at the beginning of part 2, where she meets him after he’s returned to Konoha after a long journey, she does feel ready at that moment. You can tell by her smile and her firm look and stance that she is ready at last, even if she did not foresee this coming. Until seconds before, she herself likely didn’t know she’d say it or that she was ready. It may not have been the most ideal moment to confess, but well, nobody can deny it was rather romantic, and I mean that in all the senses of the word. Moreover, she looks happy to tell him. Of course she is. After all, those words had been true for a long time. She was happy that she got to love him because ‘his smile changed her’. Perhaps she would die, and they would not be together, and she would’ve never known how he felt about her saying that, and that would be the end of it, but she was still happy she loved him and did not regret it. Because of that she did not mind dying for him. Those few words truly spoke volumes.
Hinata proved that brief but powerful moment how far she had come. Because it was the strongest of the 6 Pain that she was facing, she couldn’t last long (nobody but Naruto lasted long against him), but we see how much she had grown. Hinata from Part 1 did not display such determination to go as far as risking her life that way; she could not bring herself to cheer for him in his fight during the Chuunin exam preliminaries because he was fighting her teammate! She went a long way. Even if she was reckless, she showed growth and that she had been true to her promise and ambitions of becoming stronger and following Naruto’s nindo as her own even though he was gone for 2.5 years. As if that were not enough of a difference, she also stepped in to help him alone. Naruto told her she could not win against him. She replied saying she knew that. She knew, yet she brought nobody along with her down that crater. Ironically enough, she mentioned she was being selfish.
Again, they really have had nothing but positive effects in each other, though it is more noticeable in Hinata, but nothing says Naruto wouldn't gain from it, as explained above.
