#ssnh

First of all I'm both an SS and NH shipper.

These are two very different couples, both have been implied since the start of the series and have been developing since then.

We all know Sakura loves Sasuke and of course that Hinata loves Naruto, that  has been made clear by Kishi. What still isn't crystal clear is the boy's feelings.

We know Sasuke cared about Sakura in part 1 and it's been shoved in our faces that he still cares in part 2. With Naruto we know he's always cared about Hinata and each time it's even more obvious.

I believe SS and NH will be end game, but I don't expect either to be as obvious as most of us want it to be (marriage, babies, you know). But I do believe we'll get a scene that will let us know without question that it will eventually lead to the everything we hope for.

If i have to talk about explicit or implicit I think NH will be more explicit than SS. Why? 

As I said the pairings are completely different. I think SS needs more time considering all that has happened in the manga and considering Sasuke as a character too.

I don't think SS is the kind of pairing that would just throw themselves into a relationship. I think they would slowly build it without even knowing and one day they wake up and realize that it's there. 

NH on the other hand doesn't need a lot. Naruto is in my opinion already realizing he likes Hinata a whole lot and when it turns into something more (if it hasn't already) Naruto will probably make the move and they're together. 

Sasuke isn't an explicit character, he shows he cares with little gestures that when you actually know Sasuke as a character then you know they mean a lot. Naruto, on the other hand, is an explicit character. He tells people he likes them, he tells people he cares so gestures that with Sasuke mean a lot with Naruto they're normal.

For example the latest SS moment we see Sasuke catching Sakura as she falls and holding her close to him while looking into her eyes. This says a lot about Sasuke, we know he cares a lot. He doesn't say it but he doesn't have to the simple fact that he's holding her against him and their eye contact say it all. He's said thank you to Sakura twice and considering that Sasuke doesn't throw words of gratitude easily it's a lot. It's an implicit moment, but considering Sasuke's character it's basically explicit.

Then we have one of the latest NH moments, the hand hold. He holds her hand in front of everyone, and it was completely unnecessary, in other words he did it because he wanted to. And he thanks her and let's her know that he's seen she's been at his side the whole time. Naruto is explicit so he holds her hand in front of everyone and this is basically him telling her you mean a lot to me and considering her confession some time ago it's a form of answer.

So I think I strayed from the point and this stopped making sense but what I want to get at is that these couples will be/are explicit in their own way. NH will always be more explicit because of Naruto as a character, I think it's just a matter of looking at the characters/pairings and understanding that they're not all the same.
