Episode 166 Hinata's Confession

I am a previous NS shipper and I think this episode was the one that made me a NH, I was
really touch on hinata's determination to save naruto even she knows she'll be fighting a losing battle
 
The confession was so beautiful, no lies, full of emotions and made me cried a lot, the manga is good too, they show naruto's reaction after hinata confess which made him really surprise, I really love this couple and I wish kishi-sensei will make this two end up together in the end..

I know, I loved how she was willing to go out there and fight for Naruto knowing that she couldn't win. This shows just how much stronger and courage she gained. I really don't know why they don't include some scenes in the animation that was in the manga.

^ I always wonder about that as well.

I might be a really tough person to break emotionally, but this episode almost did it for me, I would like to point out a few more things about Naruto's reaction in that episode, I saw that after the confession Naruto did have some reaction before she was cut down, Naruto crying out to Hinata when she was slammed into the ground was chilling, but his expression after being stabbed by the chakra rod and before going 6-tails was (in my opinion) well captured.

to me he had that shocked expression, unsure of what to say and how to react to Hinata's confession, he remained uncertain until chapter 615 which was the biggest hint that he will return Hinata's love for him.

So over all Hinata's confession has played a massive part in Naruto's romance interest, and is still yet to be resolved entirely.

This was probably my most favorite episode in the entire series ( um..maybe one of the only few that i actually watched since i mostly read the manga and don't watch the anime much..i don't have much time actually). Anyway the reason for liking it so much would be the extra stuffs it had but still i liked manga better.

I know that part touches me so, they were right with the reactions indeed.
