How is possible that Kishimoto couldn't make a good story?

Replace Naruto with Rock Lee
Replace Sasuke with Gaara
Replace Sakura with Ino

you now have a 300% better series

>Ino
?

That doesn't make any sense.

>And yes high school sweethearts exist. I know of at least three examples of them.

People normally hide their shit user, and these kind of couple normally stay together for a decade before the shit hit the fan.

Hinata shouldn't have been paired with Naruto, there are far better options like Me

it's just a misquote, put your autism away
