"Overcoming one's Hatred/Destiny to further understand one another" is the overarching theme of the series as well as something Naruto needed to do(its why he has the infamous "talk no jutsu") 3. Almost every arc in the series had its own theme to follow, but as stated above, the main theme of the series definitely isn't about hard work trumping talent(you would have a better argument for "hard work", but you all get SUPER specific that it NEEDS to trump talent) 4.

If Itachi did not show up and told him this and that, he would have bullied the Leaf Village as well. Just remember this, when Lee met Sasuke, Lee basically used only Taijutsu, whereas Naruto had Kurama within him(without even knowing how to use that power properly), and Sasuke had the Sharingan an can use it to copy a lot of moves. The main point of this video, is to point out how Sasuke and Naruto were so privilleged(Which is so true by the way) with all sorts of power and still got their asses kicked by Uchiha Madara. Lee only trained so freakin' hard to achieve his power. Naruto and Sasuke basically did nothing. They were gifted with a lot of shit from the very beginning. Mr.Naruto had Kurama sama to protect him, Mr.Sasuke had his own brother to protect him. What did Rock Lee have, in case he ran out of Chakra, huh? Might Guy?

So let's say that sticks with him majorly. Save the people, they like you. Saving is helping. Can't always be a Pein to beat to save, but you can help, so Naruto decides to keep everyone loving him, he'll HELP everyone. And that sad goal follows him into adulthood and poisons his relationship with his family, because even if he doesn't realize it, he's still the same attention hungry, family-deprived child he was when he was 12.

But Naruto in the last arc did nothing but deny the circle of reincarnation and make up with Sasuke, despite their "fate" being to fight to the death. And if you're talking about the frog's prophecy, it was changed twice in one arc, so it's not really a set-in-stone fate marker.

[@MrKiron12]

Bratanov I think that was Kishimoto's intention but he didn't convey that well Considering the frog's prophecy was never for them to "fight to the death" but it was more "you'll fight somebody with op eye abilities" Like nothing Naruto did necessarily "went against fate" considering the exact same thing happened in one Hashirsma and Madaras battle where they just kissed and madeup and ruled over the village for a while.

[@goto0c]

By "fight to the death" part I meant the reincarnation of Indra and Ashura part, not the frog's prophecy. The frog's prophecy changed when 1)Jiraya made a choice to send Naruto the message before his death, and 2)When Naruto chose to convince Nagato instead of beating him, after which the frog said that he didn't expect there to be two "children of prophecy". And your example with Hashirama and Madara doesn't make a lot of sense, since they eventually DID fight to the death, fulfilling the prophecy. It was never stated that their first fight would be the one.

"Naruto is a hypocrite because he is a child of prophecy and reincarnation of Sage of 6 paths, Naruto lied about Destiny" --- Naruto, the show and the character, never once denied the existence of Destiny, as a matter of fact it was flat of out told that Destiny does exist, when Neji said one Destiny that everyone shares equally is Death, which is literally a fact which can't be countered, to which Naruto says, "If you don't like your Destiny, you hold the power to change it" Which quickly follows up by the match referee saying "he never lost his faith in himself and never stopped planning his next move, because he knows having faith in himself has the power to change one's Destiny" How does any of this translates to "DESTINY DOESN'T EXIST"??? Later if Destiny can be changed or not works well with the addition of Prophecy and reincarnation, I think it's a Genius move, first of alll, a misconception people have is prophecy and reincarnation are Destiny, they are not, Destiny does not include choices, Prophecy said Naruto could've brought peace or destruction, Naruto brought peace because he decided to be a good person when he all the reasons to turn bad, resent and hate the Village leaf for how he treated him, but he didn't Because he chose to see the good in people like Iruka who always believed in him, Reincarnation said Naruto could've revived the cycle of Destiny or end it, Unlike Ashura and Hashirama, who went to kill each other, Naruto holded back and brought peace by ending the cycle, not destruction. In both of these situations Naruto changed his Destiny for the good because he never lost faith in Sasuke and himself, which ties back to him telling Neji "Destiny can be changed" not "Destiny doesn't exist".

It's not like Gaara whose mom died in childbirth and was constantly hurting people, because wasn't the son of a master of sealing techniques and is not of a powerful jinchuuriki host bloodline(Uzumaki can cling to live awhile after their beast is removed, but everyone else dies immediately). .

@ITS bullzie Exactly. Shippuden completely destroyed the message with poor writing. In part 1, power creep was low and jinchuriki, kekkai genkai weren't so op. While they were exclusive sources of power, having one wasnt a requirement to he great. With skill and strategy you could overcome 'empowered' individuals as seen with shikamaru fights, lees fights and even zabuza vs kakashi. In narutos case, kyuubi was a detriment as it was the reason for his poor chakra control. And with naruto being a child, him being the hokage to be acknowledged was believable. And then with haku and then with sasuke you see naruto starting to grow... end of part one was pretty good. The problem is part 2. You would think with narutos new found resolve he would have educated himself. He doesn't really learn. Then kishimoto made naruto a mary sue into having all these abilities and trainers. It would have been more compelling if naruto had to claw to power like kabuto. Naruto started out as an underdog, but he lost that title when kishimoto made him over powered

[@ClashBluelight]

To play a bit of devil's advocate here, his political connection to Tsunade seems to be 100% earned. He debated her, made a wager, then won that wager while simultaneously saving her life and helping her overcome her traumas. He also didn't use any dog power during this process except to gain a few extra hours of training time. The only inherent advantage I see here is that he was introduced by Jiraiya, but Tsunade didn't seem to be swayed very much by that fact. Overall, Naruto's political connection to Tsunade could have been fairly earned by absolutely anybody who was placed at the same dinner table as her.

No way there's actual people like you. This comment had to be generated. Naruto is NOT ABOUT HARD WORK BEATS SKILL THIS IS EASILY SHOWN IN GARRA VS LEE. A FIGHT THAT LEE LOOSES. Naruto is way more about forgiveness and forging your own path. Just because Naruto was born with kurama and good levels of chakra means shit. It actually made it harder for Naruto to use his chakra hence why he was always bad at everything in the academy. Because he couldn't use his chakra properly. Don't even get me started about kurama. Kurama goal was to give Naruto so much chakra until the seal would break. For Naruto to master the nine tails beast power took hard work because kurama hated him. So we can sum up kurama was basically a opp in the some seasons of Naruto . And why do you think Naruto want to jiyara? To train his bijju chakra. And the fact that you stupid enough to call him ninja Jesus is so ed. Naruto being a reancarnate js means that his destiny is to kill Sasuke. It does not give him shit. Heck you can even say Naruto had it worse than lee WHICH HE DID.

[@AranelEruvyreth]

The problem with Naruto is that it proposes a hypothesis and then continues to prove that hypothesis wrong as the show progresses, but still seems to be under the illusion that it’s proving it right. Yes, hard work was necessary for Naruto to get where he did after a point, but he also couldn’t have done it without a hell of a lot of luck, prime genetics, and political connections he did not solely earn but gained by virtue of his parentage. It’s like when a millionaire’s child calls themself self-made when they only got where they were because they started with their parents’ money and connections. Yes, he did do far more with those things than others might have in his position, and he did suffer plenty in his childhood, but that does not mean his hypothesis and the hypothesis of the entire series was proven wrong through him. It reeks of nepo baby trying to justify how they earned their position by saying they had to work hard for it. Just because you worked hard, doesn’t mean you started on an even playing field with everyone else. You had privileges and advantages others could only dream of and you would not have made it to where you are without them unless you got incredibly, miraculously lucky. That’s the story of Natuto and it’s telling that he doesn’t realize this himself, but Sasuke and Neji have since day one. Naruto didn’t prove Neji wrong in their chunin exam fight, he proved himself wrong and made Neji’s point for him, all while believing he did the opposite. Big face-palm moment right there.

[@thewiseyounglad2699]

1. Neji talks about destiny and how everyone has a predetermined fate. Naruto disagrees with this and explains that destiny shouldn't be used as a crutch to be a jerk, like Neji is when attempting to murder Hinata or talking down to Naruto himself. 2. So was Neji right? Everyone seems to think so, but why? Is it because Naruto is the child of prophecy? Well, it was stated that the child of prophecy would either bring peace to the world OR destroy it. The simple fact that Naruto has both agency and a choice in the outcome already puts Neji's values on shaky ground. 3. BUT! You still disagree with me. Why? Because Naruto is the reincarnation of Ashura? Well, that's funny because, as Ashura's reincarnation, Naruto is destined to meet and battle with Indra's reincarnation, Sasuke. Now Ashura did hope that a future incarnation of himself could resolve things peacefully, but his intention doesn't matter as his actions contributed to a cycle that the Sage of Six Paths feared would continue when Sasuke wanted to have his final battle with Naruto. 4. DESTINY ITSELF, the concept Neji spoke about, ordained that Naruto(as Ashura's reincarnation) would do battle with Sasuke(Indra's reincarnation), and continue the cycle of hatred. This path where the two could potentially kill each other might have very well been the catalyst that pushed Naruto to fulfill the evil side of his prophecy in destroying the world(among other things), made even more evident with the treatment he received growing up as a Jinchuriki(that made him hate the world back for a time), and the antagonist that reflected his character(challenging his views, and in some cases, trying to make Naruto fall as low as they did).

[@thewiseyounglad2699]

1. "Hard work trumps talent" was the central theme for the chunin exams and the goal Lee aspires to 2. "Overcoming one's Hatred/Destiny to further understand one another" is the overarching theme of the series as well as something Naruto needed to do(its why he has the infamous "talk no jutsu") 3. Almost every arc in the series had its own theme to follow, but as stated above, the main theme of the series definitely isn't about hard work trumping talent(you would have a better argument for "hard work", but you all get SUPER specific that it NEEDS to trump talent) 4. If you thought the MC was going to follow what is essentially Lee's theme(who LOST against Gaara in the Chunin Exams) when he has the 9 Tails(that he used against Neji that same arc), then we will just have to agree to disagree.

[@夏凝-y3t]

😊 I totally disagree with his criticism of Naruto being lazy and a hypocrite. In fact, I believe that Naruto has put in a tremendous amount of effort within his capabilities. He seem to have forgotten that Naruto is an orphan who has been living on his own. Have he taken a look at his classmates? Do he think they are putting in more effort than Naruto? What motivates them to work hard? It's because they have parents and siblings to support them in practicing ninjutsu. Do he think Shikamaru invented the Shadow Possession Jutsu on his own? It was his father who guided him. In the show, it's shown that Sasuke's brother would practice shuriken techniques with him and even guided him in the Fireball Jutsu. Other classmates have family members teaching them ninjutsu, like Hinata and Neji training together in their family dojos. As for calling Naruto lazy and not striving to learn ninjutsu, can you imagine having to study on your own without anyone to encourage or guide you? It's a painful situation. I believe that growing up in a self-motivated and self-learned environment, Naruto has worked relatively hard. Imagine coming home to an empty house and having no one to help you with difficult math problems or no one to supervise your homework. your grades are bound to suffer. Considering Naruto's growth environment with no guidance or training from anyone, isn't it natural that his ninja skills and techniques would appear to be inferior to those of his classmates?. And don't forget, when he was learning the Rasengan, there wasn't a day when he was lazing around. There were times when he practiced until he collapsed in the forest and then woke up to continue training. Does that sound lazy to you? Furthermore, it's absurd to accuse him of being a hypocrite. Naruto has a strong moral compass. Apart from playing pranks, he hardly ever did anything wrong. He's essentially a good-hearted and kind young man. He's willing to sacrifice himself to protect his friends and the village. In simple terms, if you were in danger and asked for Naruto's help, he would definitely shed blood to save you. How does that make him a hypocrite? He'd only be a hypocrite " IF " he was saving people just for the cash or for the fame. I believe that Naruto act of saving his friends and the villagers is absolutely selfless and just doing the right thing , If you really insist on repaying him , maybe just treating him to a bowl of ramen would be more than enough...your evidence for calling him a hypocrite because you think he's lazy Additionally, you seem to criticize Naruto for relying on the Nine-Tails' power. What's wrong with that? As long as he uses it for good deeds, isn't that what matters? For instance, if he saves your life, would you really care if he used the Nine-Tails' power instead of his own abilities? As long as his actions are virtuous, who cares if he relies on the Nine-Tails?

My special interest used to be Naruto, and I cannot tell you how accurate and peak this is. But like genuinely. I think the story could have been so much better had it been told from any other perspective. Naruto was predestined into being the strongest and being the Hokage. He is a nepo baby and has a victim complex who thinks he can get somewhere just based off of being stupid. And most of the characters are like this, in the way that the character writing isn’t great. I wish Gaara had been utilized more instead of his stupid “Talk-No-Jutsu”. Gaara could have had a genuine arc as a kind of long-term direct parallel of Naruto himself. It could have been an arc where Naruto realizes maybe he doesn’t have it so bad, and there are other people like him, as well as understanding it takes genuine hard work to change people. Though I think the parallel went to Neji, I think both could have worked. I’m biased because I’m a Gaara glazer, but Naruto was the WORST choice of an MC for this show.

[@artemissunandmoon]

Also Tenten

[@JayfroC]

Unfortunately Tenten was absolutely irrelevant, so the 'hardwork > talent' theme of the series isn't well conveyed through the character. At least her design is cool, though.

[@WalliTDM]

mostly what he said was wrong naruto was an underdog due to him being a dumb ass and having a hard time performing jutsu if im being technical and want to go deep when he was in the academy and titled as an (underdog) the 9 tail fox seal was not as weak as it was once team 7 was formed the seal got weaker through emotions and battles during shippuden they dropped the underdog theme once he received these power ups the theme sort of switched to never give up and follow his will in this video he made some pretty decent points but by the time naruto received sage and the reincarnation powers he was considered a hero already so he started sounded like a dumb ass

[@okagron]

^ Naruto didn't deserve half of the shit he got and a lot of the times he was saved by asspulls. Naruto is also not an underdog, the guy was born with a bunch of shit that gave him overpowered abilities.

[@WalliTDM]

before team 7 was formed he was an underdog he went from not being able to perform one shadow clone to performing 100+ he went from getting his ass beat by random kids at the academy from whopping jinchuriki asses, and please explain what you mean by he didnt deserve any of the shit he had but to come to conclusions he is a main character if they feel like ass pull and overpowered abilities will make the story better then they will do it if you have a problem simply dont watch the series naruto was a top 3 anime for a very fucking long time so what they did worked not to mention it was big nationally if you feel the need to bitch dont waste your time by watching 500+ EP

*Naruto:* You define your destiny, your destiny does not define you. *Naruto Shippuden:* Destiny defines everything!

[@Nunmanji]

You do realized that destiny still doesn't define everything right? The series even blatantly spells out that naruto and sasuke defied destiny by being the first time indra and ashura overcame thier conflict. It still shows that destiny can be defied.

[@alexkennard2422]

@@Nunmanji Yeah, I get that, but that doesn't change everything else about the series on how destiny is the one thing that made everything happen in the series. Hard work, the main message of the series, is ultimately made pointless because destiny and natural talent wins out overall.

Nunmanji naruto being some sort of prophecy child is what prove that destiny and fate are legit the sage of 6 path literally confirm that when naruto was holding hands with all the tailed beasts

There is a reason, why there's so many naruto what ifs, the fans are not satisfied with how it ended, even to the point, you can still find people making them and it getting more 500k views easily.

[@christianbaker3564]

It's bad writing but when you crank out chapters on a weekly basis things are bound to go off the rails. However the biggest gripe I had with the series is how they handled some of the villians turning good. Kabuto was responsible for thousands of deaths during the war, Sasuke tried to kill his team and the 5 kage, and they just kinda said sorry and everyone moved on.

[@christianbaker3564]

@Necro Mancer he's alive and allowed to run an orphanage you boob. And Sasuke didn't kill any S class criminals. He just got his arm blown off by Naruto so meh

[@valkorion8958]

Also Orochimaru, a monster that tortured children is allowed to live freely. Ugh, something that makes it more disgusting is that a former experiment of his (Yamato) is forced to watch how he jacks off for the rest of his life. I think the only villains that died like they should have were Hidan and Danzo. The rest either died like a hero or in a pathetic way.

[@juswavvy9634]

@@nt.yuk1 sasuke is overpowered too the SHARINGAN gives him a huge advantage over a majority of ninja ill say the sharingan is more powerful than a tailed beast as the sharingan gives him visual abilities(able to see thru genjutsu and cast it and see chakra copy jutsu) and have all these overpowered moves like sussano the black flames and CONTROL tail beasts its a reason naruto lagged behind sasuke for nearly all of part one and half of part 2

[@nt.yuk1]

@@juswavvy9634 not really lagged behind naruto is just a idiot never trains doesn't wanna study and was lazy mother was part uzumaki and hashira and dad was the hokage vs sasuke who trained as a kid didn't slack and wasn't lazy so who do you think would win? Oh and also can't forget naruto could easily get more plot to beat sasuke there's a reason he only went 1 tailed against sasuke and that was to keep the plot moving even tho naruto gets things handed to him like a baby
