= InoHina =  InoHina is the femslash ship between Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hiyuga.

Fandom
= KakuHida =  KakuHida is the slash ship between Hidan and Kakuzu from the Naruto fandom.

Canon
Kakuzu and Hidan were both partners in the criminal organization Akatsuki, whose members were arranged in pairs. It is said that Kakuzu had previous partners, but he killed them all eventually due to his lack of patience. Hidan was the newest member of the Akatsuki before Tobi joined. Hidan was paired with Kakuzu because as he is immortal, it does not matter how many times Kakuzu loses his patience at him, he cannot be killed. Kakuzu is considered immortal too, being able to steal hearts from other people and keep them as backup in case his main one is destroyed. Because of this, people call his partnership "the zombie combo" (zonbi konbi) in Japanese. Kakuzu and Hidan are very different persons with almost opposing views of life and the world. Kakuzu has lived for nearly a century, having snatched healthy, younger hearts to extend his life. This has given him a kind of experience in life that makes him value personal belongings above everything else. Kakuzu is the Akatsuki treasurer, the one who manages earnings and expenses. He also goes out of the way during missions if a chance to improve his personal wealth arises. Hidan is a Jashinist. A follower of the god Jashin who has been granted immortality in exchange of blood sacrifices.

When they work together, they constantly complain about each other's actions and decisions. Kakuzu complains about Hidan's blood sacrifice rituals to Jashin being too long and pointless. Hidan complains about having to follow Kakuzu while he tracks down, kills targets from the bingo book and redeems his reward. He also complains about having to carry the dead bodies for Kakuzu instead of sacrificing them to Jashin.

Despite their differences and constant arguments, Kakuzu and Hidan are shown to care about each other. Kakuzu kept Hidan's forehead protector when he lost it during a fight and Hidan looked terrified when he found out that the blood he used for his ritual wasn't Shikamaru's but Kakuzu's; meaning that he had injured him instead.

In the Naruto novel "Akatsuki Hiden", there's a chapter where Hidan and Kakuzu are sent to a village which was built to shelter wanted ninjas from the bingo book. Their target is one of the criminals. They wander around looking for the town for several days but they can't find it. As they are in a remote place, Hidan starts worrying about Jashin punishing him if he doesn't bring Him sacrifices soon. He prays often, asking for forgiveness, while Kakuzu finds these prayers terribly tedious and time wasting. Hidan eventually sits on a stump and lets Kakuzu find the village. When the man they're after finally comes out, they argue about who will the one killing him. Hidan does it in the end, as Jashin still needs blood and Kakuzu waits for him sitting on the stump. After killing the man, a child appears and says Hidan's technique was cool. Kakuzu asks the kid where he came from, and he explains that there's a village nearby, he also says it's protected by a genjutsu and one needs to know how to enter. Even when the mission is done, Kakuzu can't miss the chance to hunt a few more wanted ninjas, and Hidan wants to keep sacrificing people to his God, so they follow the kid.

= KoteIzu =  KoteIzu is the slash ship between Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki from the Naruto fandom.

Canon
Kotetsu and Izumo are childhood best friends and partners, they are rarely(if ever..) seen without the other and hangout during and out of work. They are the front gate guards of Konohagakure and Tsunade's assistants.

Compared to Izumo, who loves to work and takes his job as a guard seriously, Kotetsu is more carefree and prefers to run off on the job to eat syrup(his favorite food). Despite their different personalities, they work well together and have great teamwork, as evidenced in their battle against Kakuzu and Hidan.

When Kotetsu runs off again during work shift to eat syrup in the Jōunin Standby Station, Izumo crashes into the room angrily and drags his partner back to work.

During the Chūnin Exams, they disguise themselves as genins together to assess the strength of the participating genins. They are later seen together(as chūnin) watching the genins take their test to make sure no one's cheating and later observing the preliminary matches.

They appear together again, when they discover Sakura knocked out after Sasuke leaves Konoha and inform the fifth Hokage.

Kotetsu and Izumo are teamed with Shikamaru and Asuma to hunt down an Akatsuki duo. They manage to track them down and by working together, they manage to land a hit on Hidan. After the ensuing fight between the team and Akatsuki duo which results in Asuma's death, Kotetsu and Izumo are seen attending his funeral together.

In Naruto Shippuden episode 157, they face off against Kakuzu again and launch a surprise attack. They succeed in restraining Kakuzu with the help of Choji and some other nins and binding him.

Moments

 * Guard duty
 * Carrying out a broken chair from Tsunade's office (which landed on Izumo apparently)

Fanon
They are a common background ship for other popular ships.

Kotetsu and Izumo are partners-in-crime and Izumo is forced to go along with whatever crazy idea Kotetsu comes up with. Izumo is more reserved and fights strategically while Kotetsu prefers to just rush in, blades swinging.

Trivia
= NaruFuu =  NaruFuu is the het ship between Naruto Uzumaki and Fū.
 * Kotetsu doesn't take his job seriously because he and Izumo are basically Tsunade's "errand boys."
 * They wish to fight each other.
 * Their taste in food are opposites, Kotetsu favorite food is pure syrup while Izumo's favorite is daikon salad and thick fried egg.

Canon
Naruto and Fū met on the battlefield during the Fourth Shinobi World War after she had been resurrected from the dead. At first, she was traveling along with Tobi and others in pursuit of him and Killer Bee but Tobi removed the deceased Jinchuurikis' Chakra receivers that allowed them to regain control of themselves. Fū then introduced herself and her tailed beast Chōmei to Naruto. After the battle was over, Fū was able to return to the afterlife.

Filler
Both Naruto and Fū are Jinchuriki and were compared to each other long before they even met. Fū was taking the Chunin Exam while Naruto was off training with Jiraiya far away. She cared more about making friends than anything else and risked herself to save Gaara when someone was attempting to extract the Shukaku from him. After they were saved, Gaara mentioned that Fū reminds him of Naruto. Fū was later killed after the Chunin Exams.

Fanon
NaruFuu has a comparatively smaller amount of popularity in the Naruto fandom. It is mostly considered to be a crack ship due to the limited amount of interaction between Naruto and Fū. The popularity for this ship somewhat grew when more of Fū was shown during filler episodes and her personality while she was still alive was shown. Many fans feel that they are similar and would be good together. However, the fact that Fū is dead makes a future relationship between the two difficult at least while Naruto is alive.
 * It is confirmed that souls will be together in afterlife.
 * There are jutsus to resurrect the dead as long as their bodies exists, however Edo Tensei requires severe conditions as Madara Uchiha's case, and Kishō Tensei requires third person's soul in return. It is unknown if there have been any other jutsus, or such will be invented, or if there are any rooms for the above two to be improved into the stages of low or no risks.
 * Jinchurikis' bodies were preserved after their souls were freed mostly thanks to Killer Bee and Gyūki or by Naruto or by others.

It was revealed that Kishimoto was actually considering a reboot instead of sequel. After 6-months discussions, project for Boruto was launched.
 * Naruto Originally Eyed A Reboot Instead Of Its Boruto Sequel

Trivia

 * A part of chakra of Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto's mother, told her son that he should marry to a woman like her. This statement actually fits with Fū notably such as being a Jinchuriki, characteristic hair colour (Kushina's hair color is an important identity to her), wearing a hair clip, habit to add an unique word end, being from smaller nations. Some of these also correspond with Mito Uzumaki, the first Jinchuuriki of Kurama before Kushina and the wife of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, the previous incarnation of Ashura Otsutsuki before Naruto.
 * Fūko Kazesō, an orichara featured on Volume #62 bears resemblances to both Naruto and Fū including her character and outfit and abilities. Her last name means to control winds. Some fans wondered that if the two Jinchurikis marry their child would be similar to her.
 * Fū and Chōmei have been noted to have affinity to winds and vortexes both in canon and games, just like Naruto. In the manga, when Naruto used Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken, Chōmei's type is a "vortex".
