Should Neji die to pave the way for Hinata's development?

Hinata and Naruto is too obvious. How many times do we see a character in the background, who has a crush on the main character, ever actually get together with the other? Never. Naruto is no different. He's too infatuated with Sakura to even notice Hinata. Hinata should be with Neji.

However, it'd be cool to see Sasuke slowly develop feelings for Sakura, (unlikely though) just to have a real battle w/Naruto. That'll get ugly. And cool.

Yeah, but they, like, are kinda first-degree cousins... I guess the anime world is not ready for that, yet.

Actually due to their father's having pretty much identical DNA, genetically they'd be closer to half-siblings than first cousins.

incest?
no thanks [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
just becuase its obvious it doesnt need to be altered.
and as for nautos own words to hinata "you'r wierd, but a person like you i really like"
and if im not wrong.
hinata is the only one that naruto has been so open with.
talking about his own lack of power and just making it up with his words.
and hinata cheered him on and making him all high and mighty again (in a good way though).

i think they will get it on.
atleast thats what i hope for.
but one other thing i'm really hoping on.
is that if naruto gets his ass kicked sometime, hinata will step up to defend him.
or something.
i just wan to see the shy timid girl engulfed with furious anger.
i think that beneth that silent calm surface of hers, she can be even more scary then most other characters when she pissed.
and they say that a person can become strong from protecting someone they love, imagen how strong she could get then.
i can already see the chakra bursting out of her and the "need to be strong" song playing [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

just a theory though, but it fits doesnt it? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Unlike Sakura or any other girl genin's, Hinata's behavior has actually *changed*.
If you look not from the point of view of how much one is strong but of how much one has gotten stronger, she may be after Naruto, one of the characters who has gotten stronger.
Sakura is the same, Sasuke is weaker. IMO, those who have gotten stronger , each one for diff reasons and in different levels are Gaara, Shika, Neji and Rock Lee. Gaara for one, didn't seem to have gotten more powerful, but he has gotten emotionally stronger.

I love Gaara now. Before, I was thinking Gaara was going to be some unchangable character who got written off when he was beaten (as was obviously going to happen). I should have remembered that one of the main premises of the story was Naruto's ability to change people, and that Gaara wouldn't be immune to the repetitious Self Assessment no Jutsu that Naruto seems to sling about.

Hinata has always been a favorite character of mine. Quiet chicks rock, especially ones that could stop your heart with a tap to your chest. (I've met women like that before, and jeeeez...) She's come a long way from her finger-play. I hope she isn't written off, and can't believe Kishi would, seeing that she's basically the first person to recognize Naruto.

Regardless, Neji should not die to pave way for Hinata's development. There are too many ways that story sub-plot could be used to both of their development for Kishimoto just to throw it away. (Uhh, I hope.)
