Because "destroy everything & start over" is a very childish way of thinking. Especially when you're doing it unilaterally and ignoring those you're meant to be leading. Leadership is a conversation, that's why tyrants are called dictators. It's cool but obviously not realistic.
🤦♂️
I'm talking about Hinata's characteriological and narrative role and people jump straight to shipping.
Another hilarious thing is how people act like Sasuke's plan was realistic. He thought he was going to make everything good by being everything bad. With common sense it falls apart & in the story's logic it falls apart. Kaguya, Madara, Danzo all showed this couldn't work.
Sasuke was the one who drove the plot forward with his actions. Naruto spend most of the series trying to get him back. Naruto learns that the Akatsuki are after him and then he reacts to that. Sasuke had his goals clear from the very beginning and worked hard towards them, while Naruto was always reacting to Sasuke’s and the bad guy’s actions. But that aside, Sasuke’s character development is miles ahead of Naruto’s. Naruto admitted that he had no answer to Pain’s questions about achieving true peace. His world view and behavior is absolutely unrealistic, as Kishimoto himself recognized, but since he’s a shonen protagonist, we are supposed to believe in him. Sasuke, on the other hand acted exactly like most humans would act if they went through everything he did. Sasuke questioned the very foundations of the shinobi world, he understood how flawed it was and tried to change it, while Naruto was content with spreading his unrealistic philosophy.
Re-read completed.
Rating: 17.5/10 haha.
Honestly it only gets better with every reading. A story that shaped a generation and will continue to do so.
Thank you so much, Masashi Kishimoto.
Of course this dumb ass nigga supports Man City. 🤦♂️
1. Konoha's crimes do not make Sasuke's genocide fine.
2. The narrative and characters address Konoha's crimes. Pain literally destroys the village in retribution, Lord Third and Danzo are murdered, etc.
Naruto also acted in a flawed way lol. That's not the major point.
Sasuke not internalising his own experiences actually means he's lacking in development. No one's saying he should change his goals, but not even having the self awareness to understand what he's clearly lacking after all he's been through just shows a juvenile mentality.
