Hahaha pretty much. Yeah for some reason a lot of folks dig Ginny when she was just a creepy fangirl who had no depth whatsoever. If anything, she's an even worse version of Hinata. I mean in my headcanon, Hinata improves and becomes more strong and independent. Deep down I am sure that isn't true.../sigh

It would be nice to see Sasuke care about others and sort of take Hinata under his wing. I could totally see her and Sasuke becoming amazing antagonists though. XD

Ino doe shave some insecurities, a girl that outgoing has gotta have some issues in terms of confidence and self-worth, at least that's how I look at it. But it's something we could hope to explore at some point.

Didn't Asuma get Shikamaru to take up smoking? XD It makes you look so cool /sarcasm 

Hopefully Shikamaru is smart enough to stay away from Icha Icha Paradise. That is NOT well founded advice...
