lol, they can keep screaming "canon" all they want, just because it's canon it doesn't mean it's well written or good.
they won the ship war by getting canon, but they lost in the war of good writing. and gaiden is just making it worse, I hope they're happy with a ship they need to wear tight rose colored goggles for or need to completely ignore canon in favor of fanon just to ship it or twist sasuke's character because he's not giving them anything for their ship, because SS is that bad and don't even get me started on how bad it is in the original Naruto and shippuden.
same goes to NH, which needs to completely retcon and change the entire story and characters, all to give princess hinata her happy ending, because kishimoto didn't even bother to write much for them beyond 38 pages out of 698 chapters and even with 38 pages, that still isn't enough to make NH a legit good or canon couple.
so the story of Naruto suffered thanks to a bunch of loud ass shippers that can't stand the thought or idea of Naruto and sasuke not being interested or loving sakura and hinata like how they want them to and thanks to ship/character wanking from both SP and the fandom and self-inserting, oh and trying to make money off of NH and SS's popularity.
then again Naruto was never good to begin and there is more problems to it then just the ships.
