When Does Hinata Confess to Naruto

    Naruto and Hinata's bond was special and one-of-a-kind. Instead of starting like others, they admired each other. When one of them did something, the other felt compelled to do the same, so neither of them wanted to give up or appear weak in front of the other. After their first encounter, Naruto piqued her interest, so she probed her guard with questions and kept a close eye on him whenever the two of them were together. 

    However, Naruto has a high school crush on Sakura, who is the cutest girl in Konoha. Since she has feelings for Sasuke, whom he will come to respect as a brother, he has no chance with her. In addition, there was a lot of nuance to how he felt about Hinata.

    In episode 166, when the pain torments Naruto, Hinata intervenes to prevent him from hurting Naruto. She responded that she came because she loves him when he questioned why she was there. This was the very first time Hinata confessed to Naruto.

    Actually!! In either the original or sequel series, Naruto never realizes how Hinata truly feels about him. Of course, she has admitted it to him, but surprisingly, he did not understand. 

    Naruto believes that everyone dislikes him because he is a Jinchuriki. That he'd be able to win them over as Hokage and realize his lifelong ambition. He never considered the possibility that anyone might like him. Despite the fact that Sakura consistently and harshly rejected him, his need to be liked drove him to try to win her over. As a result, Naruto has little faith that anyone will ever love him romantically, and he misinterprets Hinata's confession to mean that she only cares about him as a friend.

    Naruto never makes an effort to ask Hinata out on a date. However, in the film "Naruto: The Last Movie" it was revealed that an event did occur. Sakura makes Naruto realize that Hinata loves him. In this movie, it is shown that Naruto confesses his feelings directly to her after seeing how much she loved and cared for him. This happens after Naruto realizes how much she loves and cares for him.
