Kishi has thrown hard work out the window. It's all about Genetic lineage and power now after seeing spoiler 673, it reminded of myself why I disliked Naruto so much given all the requirements to be GREAT .... .
I hate the concept of destiny in a series when used like this, it takes away from the characters free will, which in turn takes away from the character
It's a damn shame that a once awesome inspiring main character completely went down to the drain especially this War Arc butchered this character it's not even funny.
I wish Kishi made Naruto like Sakura: a nobody from a no name clan who grew to greatness.
This is a fine example of someone who doesnt understand the entire point of naruto.
And what has been building SINCE PART 1.
I suggest you reread the series so it connects and your not going off your memory as a kid.
Naruto is still a no good loser who has earned his place where hes at right now. You say it goes against part 1 but no -.- Thats dumb people logic. Its built upon, its adding to the theme of the first one.
Its just slowly unraveling itself and when you connect it its actually quite something and it makes sense of everything.
First off, kishimoto is japanese. Literally everything in the naruto universe is derived of something from japanese mythology. Like the sannin, the Bijuu, names of jutsus, especially the Uchihas jutsu, the eight gates, paths of pain, and other characters.
Reincarnation is one of them. In all honesty i and alot of my friends all assumed Naruto and Sasuke were Hashiramas and Madaras reincarnation since the valley of the end. At first i thought it was just a case of history repeating itself but the symbolism was just too obvious.
Although we never thought theyd be the reincarnations of the actual sages sons.
But it makes complete sense.
Kishimoto has a twin brother, hes all about family and brother type ish, like sasuke and itachi, and naruto and sasuke.
Afterall naruto has always said sasuke was like a brother to him.
Remember when sasuke saved naruto from haku, he said he had no idea why he saved him and tat his body moved on its own, now that weve added the Actual brothers dynamic it just makes sense and makes naruto worth rereading. Cuz you connect what you know now to what you didnt b4 and it just fits. Sure he may have come up with other concepts on the fly but thats how stories are, you dont have every single chapter written out in your head when you start a story.
Naruto earned this power, it has been 15 years since chapter 1 almost, Of course theres gonna be more power. It was already expected since chapter 28. A sliver of the nine tails chakra got leaked, so we all knew hed eventually get to 9.
Sasuke from the start has always been better than naruto, all the flashbacks in the academy, sasuke was just always naturally good at the shuriken throwing. Naruto sucked and had to train for days after class to get it right. Genius vs hard worker
Sasuke got up to lees speed and mastered the chidori in a month. When it took Lee years to get to that speed. Sasuke has just always been established as a naturally gifted ninja
While naruto just couldnt do anything right lol, he couldnt summon a frog, he couldnt make clones, it took him a whole arc to master the rasengan, it took him another whole arc to master the rasenshuriken, and it took him a whole arc to master sage mode. He's just been training and training his ass off to get to the level hes at now, if you want naruto to still make dud clones than youre stuck in nostalgia. Narutos more powerful. Thats what happens to shounen characters.
Naruto was the first and only person other than killer bee and the sage to treat the bijuu as friends and not tools, Ashura didnt even do that and neither did hashirama. That was Narutos free will, befriending them. Its something he'd wanted to do after seeing how Bee and the eight tails are with each other. Just because the frog told the Sage that it would happen one day doesnt mean it affected narutos decision to do it. The Frog just saw the future, its his thing lol. He didnt tell naruto that he was the mischeivious blue eyed boy whod befriend the tailed beasts. He said hed fight a guy whos power lies in the eyes. Something we all already know is going to happen -.- So how is that taking away free will? Or taking away from naruto as a character?
