Great point and love the ending. Only thing I think you left out was while many could be blamed for Naruto's terrible parentage situation, everyone glosses over how important irukas love for him was, and showed Naruto that he could love people even if they were against him. It played such a central figure to his character and learning to fight for others. I was always kind of disappointed Iruka got fairly discarded as the series became too powerful for him. He was so integral to showing Naruto love in the face of everyone's hatred and his own willingness to sacrifice himself for the jinchuuriki after his parents were killed. Iruka is a big hero that doesn't get his shine

[@ezergilechimekazikura6855]

Well, to that I might say, that Iruka being out of his water later in the show is kinda a good thing, since Iruka represents, by not being a kiling machiene playing major role in the later plot, and by context that is given to his relationship with Naruto, the power of forgiveness and ability to go past one's grief to look at those near you and see them for human being that they are. Remember that Iruka was tormented by the knowledge of Naruto being jinchuriki no less from anyone else, and yet he was the guy, who, while not being the power house, managed to go past his bias towards Naruto and to put his life on the line to protect him, which was the first of such things ever shown to Naruto in his life, that he was aware of, and the only time that happened prior to that moment was the time of his birth.

Ok so this is a common confusion, the half of Kurama that was sealed into Naruto was actually the good half. We don’t know why Minato was able to tame Kurama immediately, more then likely cause they had 16 years of constant fighting to understand each other. I do have a theory as to why Kurama in Naruto got corrupted. All of the negative talk to Kurama just made him have more and more hate towards humanity. Kurama, especially as shown in the war arc was more like a dog who had done nothing wrong but just had several bad owners, so they constantly kept getting sprayed. So Kurama grew hate to all of humanity until Naruto changed that, since it should be remembered, no one before Naruto saw Kurama in a good light

I always thought that maybe Jiriya did help raise Naruto, if maybe only for a little time until he was old enough to at least feed and bathe himself. That maybe, Naruto's memories had to be erased due to the extravagant secrecy Jiriya's next mission was to be. Because, seriously, a newborn is not capable whatsoever of surviving on their own. But a 4-5 y/o- with monetary assistance, yes, it is possible. I also think that's where his toad purse came from, as a parting gift from the one who he will never remember as his God Father, but still cherished as such.

Jiraiya had no obligation to raise Naruto. Jiraiya was never Naruto’s godfather, he was Naruto’s naming parent, he’s only called his godfather because that’s the closest western equivalent to Japanese naming parents. They have no legal or moral obligation to take care of the child they name.

[@lordlokhi6398]

My thought on why Naruto didn't have a central figure was because of Danzo wanting to get his hands on Kurama. Danzo probably already had his hands on a working sharingon and knew that he could put Kurama under a genjusu, especially if he had Shisui's sharingan. Though at the time of Kurama's rampage in the hidden leaf Danzo could not step in as he had to keep watch over the Uchiha becasue of his distrust and fear of the Uchiha getting Kurama. So when Kurama gets put into Naruto Danzo leaks that information trying to push Naruto more and more over the edge to break and let Kurama take control. Then Danzo would be able to take control of Kurama with the Uchiha massacre only giving him more of an opening to take Kurama. The reason he did not want to take it out right would be that he would not want Kurama's rampage to be traced back to him. More reason to support this is that Danzo was actively trying to make a wood style user that could help him subdue Kurama. Danzo was just waiting for all the pieces to fit into place, no Uchihas at the scene to take Kurama or challenge Danzo, a wood style user that would be able to help suppress Kurama, not being able to be traced back to him, and Naruto going crazy because of the bullying and releasing Kurama. If Kurama was released too early Danzo would probably put Kurama back in Naruto and only use that as evidence that he was trying to what's best for the village and show that he was not trying to take direct control.

[@Neku628]

Yeah, especially since Naruto is half Uzumaki and can handle having a tailed beast sealed or resealed into him. Had Naruto just been a regular person like all of the other jinchuriki who had their tailed beasts ripped out of them, they would be dead.

[@Flevir]

Okay, I like most of this video, but I *really* have to push back on the "good side, bad side" distinction. See, Minato took the "bad side" into himself. Minato took the Yin half of Kurama's chakra, and the Yin half is well, spirit, consciousness, imagination. In other words, it's the purest form of Kurama's hatred and anger. The *Yang* half was left with Naruto, which is the energy of physicality and life. Here's the thing though, the concepts of yin and yang are deliberately not binaries. They are nested in each other, thus the depiction of the white dot in yin and the black dot in yang. There is some anger even in Kurama's yang, and there is some physicality and life even in Kurama's yin. This is something I see a lot of people fumble over because there is sort of this Western notion that things have to be separated into binaries of "good and evil" when a lot of Eastern traditions don't map stuff that cleanly onto morality. Kurama has no "good" or "bad" half, every form of Kurama that could have been sealed by the Reaper was going to be essentially the same person but with different intensities of feeling. The yin half would be more intense in its hatred and its yang half would be less so. Thus, trying to *protect* his baby, Minato takes the yin half to the Shinigami's stomach. I have massive problems with the way Minato handled his final minutes, but splitting the Kyuubi into yin and yang is not one of them.

@@notrealname1209 I can kind of understand people hating sasuke for not caring about friends, and going down his own path. That's a personality not everyone can be fond of which is understandable. However the plot armor point confuses me. Firstly it's highly debatable if sasukes ever had plot armor the entire series. Because every time he's near death, there's a perfectly logical reason for his survival. But more importantly, he isn't even in top 5 of the show in terms of plot armor. People worship naruto yet he had more plot armor than anyone in the series. Sasuke literally killed him like 4 times in their first battle. He set naruto on fire twice with a jutsu that even damaged orochimaru, and Naruto just plot armors his way out of it without so much as a substitution log... I'll let the chidori through the chest slide since kurama was actively healing naruto. But then sasuke jumps off of a cliff and breaks narutos neck a few moments later 😭.

Hiruzen also appointed Iruka to learn to bond and teach Naruto and further would get Kakashi to become his sensei to mend the wounds.I know these don't make up for Naruto having expired milk and living off Ramen but et's look at the good this did. -Iruka was able to become a good sensei to Naruto and to discipline him,when Naruto was talking to Minato after defeating Kauya did mention the many morals and disciplines Iruka instilled in him -Kakashi down the line would contribute to the beliefs of Naruto and what his philosophy should be,for example never giving up on friends Hiruzen as a Hokage could only do so much with the meddling of Danzo and the village elders but all in all he did try in his power to prevent further hate than already existed from befalling Naruto,Naruto would acknowledge down the line that Iruka's belief in him is what he can attribute as something that prevented him from taking a darker path,because he believed in him,acknowledged him and only wanted good for him,a relationship that would never have been possible if Hiruzen did not ask Iruka to be a sensei of Naruto and to guide him throughout.

Nah, Hiruzen is soft when it comes to Orochimaru and Danzo and let them do do what they want and he let Naruto down after he promised his parents to take care of him while his own grandson Konohamaru even has his own Jonin bodyguard.

[@epicenterbasshd9636]

The reason Naruto is so good is that it's very hard to find plot holes.

[@JohnA...]

There had to have been a reason why the "bad half" was sealed into Naruto. Such as that half fighting to get released so it was the one that escaped to be sealed into Naruto instead, or maybe Minato not actually knowing at the time what half was what OR that there was a "bad" and "good" half. Otherwise that seems like a huge oversight leading to worst parent of the month. But we wouldn't have had much of a story if Naruto's life was all sunshine and candy. Quite risky for them, but as we can see in our own world, spoiled brats don't tend to turn out to be the best of people and more often than not seem to cause more trouble than those who have actually known some REAL hardships so they have a degree of empathy towards others going through hard times.

[@HAPPY-nh5rl]

I really do thing that sealing the "bad" half was done so that Naruto can be better protected because i think that even if Kurama has a good side that won't take away his hatred towards humans. So it was better to have the bad half sealed in Naruto so that it could protect him subconsciously because the bad half is more responsive to Naruto emotions. Think about it the good half won't even care if Naruto was in danger because he won't be drive by emotions specially hatred as much the other half.

[@GODFATHERKYRO]

@@GODFATHERKYRO I need evidence for this to prove to the Discord users who say what nchammer said. You knwo where I can find this info?

Like the Hulk he was viewed as nothing more than a monster and a weapon.

[@artypyrec4186]

They base it off Gaara treatment given how the Jonin who knew he was the tailed beast and who his parents were. Also when he was younger the seal was nearly perfect. The 9 tails chakra leaked out as he got older. Since no one in the village knew how to maintain the seal, all you have is people like Jiraya and Orochimaru who throw seals on top of it or Yamamoto. Since the 9 tails seal was at its weakest when he was around 14 they didn't need to send Yamamoto as his guard

Have you read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card? Your video discussed the theory that he was left alone on purpose. Andrew Wiggins was treated in a similar fashion (all be it Andrew had a brother, sister, and parents). Both stories created a character driven by purpose so much, they rose higher than their peers. Food for thought! :)

[@sepanteenking1454]

I thought this too but no he didn't, he actually sealed the good side of kurama in Naruto since he sealed the yang which in Chinese philosophy is the good side hence Minato's nine tails being a darker shade of kurama

[@gokto]

I blame hiruzen like bro he knew naruto’s parents. He also knew what happened to them but instead he decided not to take him under his wing. I mean c’mon he’s the hokage he had so much power the least he could’ve done was let naruto live with him and raise him at least until he’s of age. I don’t know that’s something that always bothered me.

[@rebeccap476]

Thank you for going the extra mile and talking about the broader social critique Naruto broaches. 💖

[@MegaKljb]

I don't think that anybody cared about Karama breaking out because of how strong the seal was. I mean it was one of the Uzumaki's strongest seals. I also just assumed that he sealed the good half of Kurama with him because he did not have enough chakra to fight the bad side. He could forcible seal the bad side in naruto but didn't have enough chakra to fight him like Hiruzen did with Orochimaru into the shinigami's stomach.

[@ultimatecarnage25]

There's no evidence he put the bad half in Naruto it's just pure speculation, both sides are equally as evil and dangerous, however one half might be slightly more rational. Imo since the Dead Demon Consuming Seal was known to be an unbreakable seal at the time it would 100% make sense to put the most evil half in that instead of your son who has a seal you know will eventually break

[@Tony-dv5fs]

Rosetta Stone ad - you had me at “….knowing if they are talking about me is nice too”😂

[@MaestroAlvis]

Hiruzen is almost understandable because as the hokage he had danzo in his ear and that could easily warp his judgment. Of course, he should have asigned a guardian.

[@LCH.RawMan]

I know you often said it that way and here you even elaborated on it a bit further, but I could've sworn, that minato sealed the dark chakra of kurama into him and the light into naruto (i always mix yin and yang up, i believe yin is dark and yang is light, idk), hence why his kurama half has darker "furr" i guess, but i haven't read that part for a long time, so i think i can trust you on this one, even tho it will keep buggin me 😂😂

One quick clarification. Did Minato actually know that there was a good and bad half of Kurama? It's been a long time since I watched the show.

[@ultimatecarnage25]

There's really no "good" or "evil" Kurama. It's the same logic as the Hulk. Just a misunderstood creature who doesn't want to be used as a pawn or a slave. That's why Kurama acted "evil" he even admitted that in later chapters.

I was today years old when I learned what it means to be a godparent and it was from a Naruto video of all things! 😂 Case in point, I've never met my godfather. The last time we saw each other was at my baptism. He didn't even choose my name, my parents did. The guy was just there for some baptism procedures (don't ask me what those are, I don't know). So since Nick taught us sth new, he can now mark this video as educational! 👌

What he said is actually a common misconception. Godparents will not get custody of their godchildren unless the parents dictated that in a will. A child will just go to next of kin.

[@stelitsa9535]

@@cthomas025 Ohhhh I see! That kinda makes more sense now that I think about it! Honestly, all I ever knew about godparents is that they're friends of the parents, they traditionally choose the godchild's name, but now they're just there because baptisms say so and they send candles with pretty decorations to the godchild every Easter until they become a teenager. I'm from an orthodox christian country (I myself am an atheist) so that's all the duties of the godparent I've ever known. I learn sth new every day! 😃

@@stelitsa9535 Nick got the godparent part wrong. Jiraiya was not Naruto's godparent, he was his Naming Parent.

@@stelitsa9535 Yeah, I went and looked at the Raws for Chapter 382 where Jiraiya 'calls' himself Naruto's 'Godfather' and I found this The phrase used is 名付け親 (nazuke-oya) which translates to "naming parent". As the translation suggests, it means the person who chooses the name for the child. As the concept of 'Godparents' don't exist in Japan like it does in Western countries, 名付け親 is translated to Godparent, because it's the closest equivalent A 'nazuke-oya' is one of the social parents that are/were a part of Japanese customs, this means that Jiraiya has no responsibility towards Naruto.

[@Ebenezer1567890]

Yin and Yang doesn’t necessarily correlate to good and bad that’s just a westernised interpretation so to speak. Anyways minato would’ve been unaware of what side he was sealing where, kurama once chakra was split would’ve formed this new identity, you could argue the new identity was formed due to one side being with an adult minato and the other trapped in a baby

[@ultimatecarnage25]

Exactly, but wouldn't expect less from click bait. Even if he did know which side to put into Naruto it wouldn't matter. It would have ended up the same way. Plus he's making Minato sound like an idiot when in fact Minato was very intelligent, Minato knew (before the retcon) the Dead Demon Consuming Seal was unbreakable, so logically it would make more sense for Minato to put the worst half in that. Plus, Kurama is just misunderstood, he even showed a flashback of how people treat him like a weapon and a monster instead of a friend meaning that he just didn't want to be anyones pawn.

I am always a bit surprised Naruto wasn't given to one of the 4 Noble Clans of Konoha. I mean if he had been raised by the Aburame, given a decade, breeding a more benign type of insect Naruto could keep on himz instead of in him shouldn't be impossible. He has the innate chakra reserves to allow the insects to take some and not even notice. Them having excess males held at their base would allow them to track Naruto if he was ever kidnapped. Naruto wouldn't be able to control the insects like one of the Aburame could, but he'd probably be able to utilize them in different ways. Also it would basically give Naruto a pet that him accidentally killing would be almost impossible, since they're eating his chakra. It would give him something to connect with, ie even if he's alone, they'll always be with him.

I think Minato sealed the evil half of Kurama into Naruto because the evil half was the Yang half The Senju and Uzumaki have a strong affinity towards the Yang element (the Uchiha towards Yin instead) and since Naruto was half-Uzumaki, giving him the Yang half would allow him to master Kurama's power more efficiently But still, he could've had the Yin half, because there is no rule that explicitly states that an Uzumaki cannot have an affinity towards Yin instead of Yang
