Sasori- point is wasn't changed by words =]
Konan - specifically stated she was only going with the akatsuki due to Nagato. Period. And Jiraiya and others didn't kill anyone? rofl.
Nagato: reread again. It was Naruto's action of not doing anything to Nagato that changed Nagato, and made him realize his ORIGINAL WAY.
Obito: So in other words you never read the last chapter, where Obito still didn't change sides..
Actually I do have evidence:
Kakuzu - turned bad because of his ashame in failing to kill the first hokage.
Konan - simply was following Nagato, to make sure she didn't lose another loved one. (stated by her).
Sasori - was a good boy at start.
Orochimaru - turned bad after his parent's death
Deidara - was a good boy at first.
Kisame - simply acted as a "shinobi tool". Calling him a villain is the same as calling Haku a villain.
Hidan was the only guy who was into bloodshedding and etc out of the akatsuki by nature.. others were initially good.
See the problem here is people Nagato didn't toss their beliefs. They tossed their beliefs when they became "villains". You also wouldn't need me to provide evidence if you knew about the characters themselves.
Konan: Actions speak louder than words. She chose their side, she's gotta live with the label. Suppose I joined some extremist group, particiapted in their violent missions, what does that make me ? Even if I only joined because my bro was there too.
Jiraiya and the others never killed anyone for no good reason. Did Jiraiya attacked a village and destroyed it with his partner ? No. Konan did.
Nagato: He was changed by Naruto's words. He asked Naruto what would be his answer to world peace and shit. Naruto said he would forgive him (or something like that) that he wouldn't continue the cycle of pain and hatred, that he would stop it by not avenging Jiraiya. Re read it.
Obito: He changed, Naruto's words reached him. You can't deny that fact. We all saw it
What you are saying makes no sense whatsoever. Going by your logic, we are all good people. Because no one came into this world being evil.
We are what we decide, the moment those guys chose to take that path, they became evil. Period. No matter how innocent or sweet a boy they were.
Haku was a child, a traumatized child. He fought for the one person he admired. That's something entirely different. Kisame is guy that proposed to cut off Naruto's feet so he couldn't walk. There is no comparison here.
Btw, the Kakuzu bit is pure BS. How do you know Kakuzu wasn't evil at that point ? He got evil because Hashi defeated him ? wut. Please, don't make up your evidence.
