*This post is divided into three parts. Read in the order 1, 2, and 3 to understand the topic.
"Minato = Hinata", this is a headcanon invented by the Naruhina fandom to try to fit Hinata into this narrative, and they go looking for any kind of thing to try to form this idea, like Minato drinks water and Hinata too so "Wow, Hinata is similar to Minato"
This arose from here because of fandom, so the Pierrot and Kishimoto studios, in a very childish and poor way, tried to reverse the MinaKushi/NaruSaku parallel, to serve the fanservice of NaruHina. So they released an ending...yes, an ENDING where Naruto and Hinata copy the behavior of Minato and Kushina and Naruhina's senders treat it as a canonical proof of a parallel between Minakushi and Naruhina that is a bit pitying.
So guys who ship Naruhina, if Pierrot and Kishi give you that, it's because they're laughing at your intelligence while you stuff their pockets 🙂
Fandom wants fandom will have 💸💸💸💸🤑🤑🤑🤑
But I can't just say that, I have to prove it, let's talk about what Kishimoto was actually doing before giving in to fanservice and altering his original work for something so shallow.
To start with that old story, that Minato has the same nature as Hinata, so he must be yin like her and naruhina fans like to say that the reason Minakushi is like Naruto and Hinata is because they would be "opposites", unlike Narusaku who are "similar" when the truth is that...
Both Minato and Kushina are yang, sun, so they’re similar like Sakura and Naruto and Hinata has nothing to do with either of them.
What people need to understand is that Kishimoto was associating Naruto and Sakura with Minato and Kushina as the couple that Minato and Kushina would be and not exactly all of their personality traits; they don't need to have taken the same steps or be clones of each other for that, to understand, you need to see the Minakushi couple and understand how they work together and the parallels he made.
Pay attention, this association is to show the path Naruto would follow as the man he would become and be like Minato one day, his father and by accident the Hokage he liked the most before he even knew who he was, just like Sakura will be associated with the woman she would become, supporting him to become the Hokage and dominate this man with firm hands to suppress his total immaturity in some matters.
Starting with Naruto and Minato, both had dreams of being recognized and becoming Hokage.
During Naruto's growth from part 1 of the series to the end he was seen as a mirror of the man his father was and one day he would become equal or better.
Jiraiya once believed that Minato could be the child of prophecy after Nagato's death, but Minato also died, coincidentally this child was Naruto so he would be the boy who would follow these steps and that's why as Minato was once called savior Naruto too received this title. Every moment Kishimoto is showing us this and people are, Huh BuT HinaTA and MInaTo Are AlikE Cuz tHEy Are CaLm, it's alright guys, this is the fault of SP's, they know that fans are more concerned with ships than with Kishimoto's work and the deep and real meaning of what that means, so they will pay more attention to an ending than to the author's intentions.
But this is what we are talking about here, and it has been presented since Naruto was a child; the association between Naruto and his father goes far beyond everyday behavior, it is connected to his father's legacy.
Damn he even copied the scene where Minato uses gambunta to fight a bijuu with Naruto where he fights a bijuu also using the same frog. Is it possible that people don't understand this parallel?
Anyway…let's talk a little bit about Naruto the son of Minato and Kushina, aaah yes he is their son so it seems quite normal that he inherits characteristics from both of them.
Jiraya looks at Naruto and feels Minato, notice how all the time what I'm saying is that Kishimoto is showing Naruto as a man and Hokage is like his father but he has a personality a bit like his mother (no totally as we'll see below) and has an inherited jutsu style.
On the Samurai bridge where Naruto reunites with Sasuke, Kishimoto makes his first parallel of MinaKushi/NaruSaku as a couple. The man who will always protect his beloved woman.
The way Naruto acts with Sakura is the same way Minato acts with Kushina, unconditional love, protection, admiration and once again here the two look alike they have a taste for angry and strong women and since the first time they both put the eyes on these girls they fell in love.
Which brings us another similarity between father and son that surpasses any other when we talk about matters of love.
Let's go to the second part of this post.
