1.naruto always was idealistic. 2. theme about hardwork never been actually for naruto himself. 3. even in first part and without clones naruto learn extreme hard jutsus in one or two week... this not failure feats 4. child of prophecy never made for naruto himself.... this looks like legacy from nagato,minato and jiraya. 5. all side character have great development in part two.n 6. please dont use talk no jutsu as justifying part 1=genin beat shit from genin and orochimaru.
1. of course, my argument that Naruto idealism worked in part 1 when the series was less dark. because the series wasn't dark, his idealism made sense. Now that that series is dark, Naruto idealism is unrealistic. within the context of part 2, Naruto idealism is unrealistic.
2. see the Naruto vs. Neji
3. I suppose but now Naruto's ability to learn is crazy. This contracts
Naruto's themes. You can surpass a genius (if you have nearly unlimited chakra with which to train). There's no way Naruto could have learned rasenshurken and Sage Mode without the shadow clone technique. since no one else has Naruto's chakra level with which to do that, the themes of Part 1 have been changed. Naruto now has an unfair advantage that someone like Lee can't surpass.
4. what? the prophecy is about a student of Jiraiya, so it's not Jiraya. he assumed it was Pain but he changed his mind in the end. many other now assume the child of prophecy is Naruto and it must be Naruto since he's the last living student of Jiraya
5. All Konoha 11 except Naruto beg to differ. Sai (after his intro arc) and Yamato beg to differ. Hidan, Kakuzu, and Zetsu big to differ. All non-Leaf and non-Akatsuki beg to differ with the exception of some Kage and Killer Bee. Part 2 focuses on Naruto and Sasuke's development at the expense of others
6. not sure what you're arguing here. in part 1; there was less tnj and it was still fresh. Thus, it worked. It does not work in Part 2.
