I'm basing my opinion on Naruto's parenting and being a husband skills on what was said and shown the in manga. True, it is mostly from Boruto's point of view, but it is clear that Hinata wished Naruto would spend more time with his children, but never voiced it due to - apparently - apparently believing that her husband's duty to the Village was more important. And if I'm being honest, she's not exactly wrong - its just that Naruto would have still needed to hear it, so that he could make a conscious decision on it himself. It would have been nice if they actually explored this facet of his life, but since it is a shonen manga, it was never really on the table to begin with. And when it comes to Hinata, I don't think she genuinely thought what being wife to a Hokage fully entailed. She was infatuated with Naruto from a very young age and being his wife was her goal, almost her only goal, in life. To me it was a very unhealthy foundation for a relationship, let alone a marriage, when the other party is that obsessed with the other and the target of said attraction is mostly, if not completely, oblivious to it. That is until she said it to his face, and even then it took him way~ too long to respond to it. Then again, it was a whole new territory to him, with probably no one else having ever told him that they loved him. So there is that. In the show, Naruto is a deeply flawed character. It was one of the most redeeming qualities about him that I actually liked. What I didn't like was how that very same quality was given a free pass for most of the story. And when it was brought up, it was never dealt with - not in any meaningful way at least. That was and still is one of my main issues with pretty much all shonen mangas. Very few mangakas know how to write good romance and plots where deep psychological issues - that Naruto had aplenty - go pretty much untouched through the whole length of the story. But considering Naruto was Kishimoto's first go at writing/drawing manga, I have to raise my cap at him and salute at what he achieved with it. It is true that all relationships are two-way streets - both participants need to be able to communicate if there is a problem that existed between them. And yes, I know a lot more women who refuse to speak up about them, because they seem to instinctively believe that men should be able detect the problem and fix it without their wife/girlfriend pointing it out. Out of the six women I've seriously dated for longer than a year, three actually got angry at me when I asked what was the problem - screaming to my face on how I should spend more time with them, instead of taking overtime to pay off our (now mine) debts to the bank. The issue was, I later learnt, about more than just that, but that was the key issue to them. And when they started to try and dictate with whom I was allowed to be friends with, and how I should be spending more time with her friends - whom I did not get along at all - I decided to cut my losses and just tossed them out. A lot of modern women seem to have this notion that a man - especially their husbands - are properties; slaves in all but in name. To majority of them, it appears that our purpose is to serve them; to feed them; give them money; and support them in all things, even at the detriment of our own happiness. I'm not saying that men can't be just as demanding and outright insane in their demands when it comes to their significant others, but for the past twenty years or so, vast majority of cases like these that I've come across seem to be women - especially white women. The one black woman I've ever dated was actually the one I liked the best; things just didn't work out between us - mostly due to the fact that she couldn't stay in the country I lived in and I couldn't leave because of my financial status, and the fact that out of all my siblings, I was and still am the only one capable of taking care of our over eighty years old parents, who are both extremely limited in their capability to move around and take care of themselves. That wasn't the only reason, but it was the biggest one. ...Jesus, feels weird to talk about stuff like this on a Patreon page involving smut. : |

2024-02-18 19:20:53 +0000 UTCWell, it goes both ways, if she is not speaking up, how can he know that she is not happy. Communication is key is relationships, if you say trust is important, can you really trust someone who is actively cheating on you? Just take that into consideration, we all know Naruto can be dense, if she's not saying anything, he's just going to assume that everything is fine. Frankly, let's be honest, it's only because he's the main character that we are seeing the job a little more actively, for all we know, the previous Hokages went through the same thing, it's just never shown, so Hinata likely knew the risks of becoming the Hokage's wife, otherwise, she wouldn't have gone through with the relationship if she didn't know the risks.

2024-02-15 14:26:37 +0000 UTCExcellent art again! I don't know what it is exactly about seeing Raikage and Hinata together like this that feels just right. It could be because even in canon Naruto is depicted to be mostly passive or reactive towards his wife and family - with his duty to his village always taking priority in everything. At worst, he is depicted as negligent husband and father; leaving Hinata always as the one who initiates everything related to romance. In real-life that would be a recipe to a disaster, should she later in life meet someone who actively seeks to shower her with romance and admiration. From what was shown in the canon, Naruto was as romantic and observant as a block of wood. Any relationship is bound to sour, sooner or later, if such a problem is left to fester for too long. A woman who is so dedicated to her husband and children as has been shown and alluded in canon, Hinata deserved to be acknowledged by her husband beyond what was shown and alluded in the show. To women romance is important; it is one of the most important cornerstones of a relationship for them. If a man continues to ignore it, it is bound to backfire on them sooner or later. To me it always felt like it was Hinata who sacrificed everything; held the family together; and did her best to make their relationship work - allowing Naruto to pursue his dreams, without seemingly any care towards what his wife may have wanted. It was like, at best, he believed that being married to him and having a family together was all she wanted. And even if that was the case, a husband should never neglect their wife the way it was shown he did in the canon storyline. To me Naruto was a prime example of a career focused man; a man capable of thinking only about their job and who would, later in life when they retire, wonder where did he go wrong when they one day return to an empty home. As shown in the Affair Hidden in the Leaves, it is not an unbelievable scenario that a wife would cheat on her husband, should they feel they have been ignored and romantically neglected for extended period of time - as often happens in many marriages in modern times. So my advice to everyone reading this is to cherish your spouses; be open with them about everything and remember to shower them with romance every now and then, and not just once a year. To me trust; romance; and support are the three most cornerstones of all happy marriages. And so, without further ado - happy belated Valentine's day!
