If you are familiar with Naruto, particular with the pairing wars, you will be familiar with the scene where the main character’s mother, Kushina, advises her son to “find someone like me” when he looks for his future partner. Both the NaruHina and the NaruSaku camps have their reasons for why Kushina’s advice fits with their chosen heroine. But today, I would like to submit a third option. A candidate who, like Kushina:
was a red-haired, somewhat awkward shinobi
who was ostrischized by their village for something out of their control
and aspired to become a kage for the purpose of being accepted by their peers
A jinchuuriki
who was kidnapped by an enemy group
and saved by the first person who ever accepted them, a blond-haired, blue-eyed boy who became a legendary hokage
I think the evidence is clear. Kushina was a NaruGaa shipper 😀
