If you were to ask Hinata whether she believes in love at first sight, she
would answer with a soft, shy yes. If prompted, she would go on to say with
that same bashful certainty that opposites attract and that an unrequited
love is well worth the heartache.
It is her nature to be submissive although she is slowly gathering the courage to stand up for her beliefs. Just like Naruto. She instinctively follows those she perceives as stronger, allowing herself to be led down paths she would never travel of her own free will. She models herself off of Naruto, her idol, and never looks back at the pieces of herself that she discards as she grows to fit the image of what she thinks she should be.
It never occurs to her that she could have thrived the way she was had she only put forth some effort towards finding her niche in life. Instead, she continues to trail after Naruto, the boy she loved at first sight, always pushing to change just one more aspect of herself. Just like Naruto, she will overcome the unfathomable odds against her and find her own ninja way.
She will continue to follow him, her role model, and be content with watching him from afar as they grow together. And maybe, just maybe he will turn around and see her someday. Not the shy, strange girl that she was, but HER.
Her heart beats faster at the thought.
