OMG, Asuma/Kurenai!! I forgot about the senseis!!! Those two were meant for each other and we all know Kurenai is pregnant with Asuma's child. XD For a while, I thought Shikamaru and Ino were going to be a pair, but then Temari came in. They fought and they've fought together. They still hang out whenever she's in town. They are luff. yeah, same here about the shikaino crap. can someone give meh a piccy of kurenai pregnant?

I'm a really flexible shipper when it comes to Naruto. My main pairings are Naruto/Sakura, Sai/Sakura, Shikamaru/Temari, Shikamaru/Ino, and Chouji/Ino, but I also ship Kiba/Hinata, Shino/Hinata, Sasuke/Sakura, Tsunade/Jiraiya, Neji/Tenten, and Lee/Tenten.
Despite the large number of ships I support, I'm not a diehard shipper. It's nice to speculate about who might end up together, but I think the focus of the show should be kept away from romance (except in the cases where it has a clear canon basis; like Sakura and Ino's rivalry that started over Sasuke, or Kurenai and Asuma having a child.)

But SasuIno and SasuSaku weren't really canon. They were more fanon. The only canon couple is AsumaKurenai.

That's not really what I meant by saying that. I meant that Sakura and Ino's crushes on Sasuke are a really integral part of the plot in Part I.

Here's probably what's gonna happen: NaruHina SasuSaku ShikaTema AsumaKurenai ChoIno NejiTen And loads of others I should list, but I dont have the time.

I don't think SasuSaku is going to happen. It's gone too far and dark for that pairing. And I think Ino and Chouji are going to be alone. They're just friends. There's never been anything more than friendship shown between them, just no signs. And even though I hate to admit it, NejiTen has a slim chance of happening, too.

Ino ending up alone in the end would surprise me--quite a bit of her character is centered on romance. I think I ship InoChouji because I have the tendency of shipping Ino with most everyone. ;P A lot of ships don't have canon basis other than friendship--SaiSaku (if you can even call that 'friendship'), KibaHina, and ShikaTema come to mind--and yet they all have large fanbases. xD

After the time skip, I think her crush on Sasuke kind of disappeared. After all, he wasn't there for her to even look at him. However, she could have a chance with Sai, although Sakura is more likely to end up with him. But Naruto, being a shounen manga, won't have very much romance in it so it's likely none of these pairings (except for AsumaKurenai, of course) won't happen at all.

True, but in one of the interviews with Kishimoto, he said he wanted to add a little more romance. Technically, I think he said "I want Hinata to have her chance". So whatever that's gonnamea. But I'm rooting for NejiTen the most. It's perfect.

@chibi Chan: Yeah; I wouldn't really like it if there was a lot of romance in the show. I was talking in a speculative manner--like, I would be surprised if Ino never ended up with anyone at all. It wouldn't have to be a canon detail, but I'd assume Ino found someone eventually. xD I ship her with almost everyone, though.

Quite frankly for me, even though its a shounen manga, the bits and pieces of affection shown here and there are enough for me. Even in little bits, Kishi has added the right amount of tastefulness to it. Nothing overly dramatic or heavily emphasized.

My Naruto OTP: Artwork by the talented Duneboo, at your service. Stinkypinky my girl... seems we share many ships (or more correctly, a lot of Zutarian's adore KakaSaku). If Silvershine's "Duty Before Honor" rocked your socks, try reading "The Window" by her as well. Also, if you need further reason for loving KakaSaku, try reading "The Nature of the Game" by Leafygirl.. That is the story that got me hooked!

Thanks Stinky. We fall for the impossible ships because... well, maybe we're just the kind of people that believes nothing comes easy, but if both people work hard to make it happen- anything is possible. Or maybe we see so much of ourselves in Katara and Sakura that we ideally have picked the guy we would go for if we were them. I'm curious as to what other pairing you support for other fandoms... I wonder if we match up across the board.

I think after Sasuke left, Sasusaku was over for good. Also, even though Nejten looks nice I just don't see Neji actually showing showing romantic feelings for anyone. Also, did everyone forget about Rock Lee? He is too awesome not to have a pairing. Tenten should give him a chance but it won't work out either way because he has feelings for Sakura and Tenten only sees him as a friend from what I can tell.
@gug
Kakasaku is a pretty cool crackship but I have never thought much about NarutoxAnko.
Everyone remembers the Chunin Exams scene from the Forest of Death right?
