First, I warn all readers and visitors that in order to accept this thread, you must meet some requirement among which the most obvious are (1) You must not be a Naruto hater, (2) you must be knowledgeable about Naruto and have actually read it rather than looking at cool drawing, and (3) you must forget about Naruto being equal to Sasuke, or Naruto being Yang and Sasuke being Yin, etc.
Now, as the title says, the goal is that Naruto is going through a process of awakening, or enlightenment. In order to understand it, I will start with my preferred panels:
I. A Character shrouded in mysteries and the power within
Yeah, Naruto is shrouded in mysteries, and he has many power hidden within him. Obvious mysterious facts about Naruto are: (1) Who is Minato, (2) Why Kushina is so like Kaguya and why her hair also moves like Kaguya's hair, (3) What are the meaning of the marks on Naruto's face, and (4) what secret Kishi hid by killing the Uzumaki off. This being said, here are some panels:
I.1. Body, Spirit, and Chakra Strength
Naruto's true strength has never been from Kyuubi, but from a power hidden within himself. The way Kishi maneuver about Naruto is the main reason I like Naruto, and always defend Kishi. See here for yourself.
As you can see above, even if we discount the power of the Uzumaki that Naruto possessed, Yamato said something very important back then - that is Naruto can withstand Kyuubi's chakra because his own chakra is strong. He had Ashura's chakra inside him, and what do we know:
In this scan, Rikudo said that he understand why Ashura chose Naruto as vessel. Well, Naruto had the body and strength that matches with Ashura's power. Now, recall that the same power Naruto has is what made Hashirama dominated all the bijus just as if they were his pet.
PS: I bet most people have been ignoring Yamato's statement since it was shown, and they are still in denial of the fact that Naruto is a greater beast compared to Kyuubi. However, staying in denial is the same as denying that Hashirama is more powerful than any Biju so far.
I.2. Naruto's Eyes
While this is a stretch, I am one of those Naruto's fans that think Naruto will unlock a dojutsu before the end of the manga. It will be either the same Rinnegan as Hagoromo, or a unique dojutsu that has not been seen yet. So, in this part, I will talk about Naruto's eyes.
First reference to Naruto's eyes was by Neiji, when saying that Naruto's eyes were better than his Byakugan
Second time was by Yamato when he asked Naruto to see his friend with his own eyes in the context of Naruto's own and true powers
The last time was by Hagoromo in reference to the eyes of Naruto as said by Gammamaru's prophecy
From Neiji to Hagoromo, there are differences in interpretation of Naruto's eyes. When mentioning Naruto's eyes, Neiji is referring to what he learned from their fight and about Naruto. That is Naruto can decern easily what the person in front of him is thinking. It is more some kind of weird insight that no one really named across the manga. For Yamato, he is referring to power and feeling as well. Kyuubi's eyes are definitely not normal eyes, and they were filled with anger and hatred. Besides Neiji case, hagoromo's mention is more significant. Why the emphasis on the blue eyes?
As I said, this is a stretch, and I will come back to this at the end of the thread.
I.3. Naruto and Hagoromo
My preferred manga page is this - Naruto's connection to six paths before even meeting Hagoromo
Another connection of Naruto to Hagoromo
Most people think this is a mess of translation, but I think it is because some fanboys are trying to deny fact. Here, both Kaguya and BZ recognize Hagoromo and Hamura in Naruto and Sasuke. The two transmigrant of Ashura and Indra are different from the previous one, and guess who made this difference? It is Naruto, not Sasuke. Naruto is simply more than Ashura's reincarnation.
My point here is that Rikudo was a savior, but he did not achieve his job. He started it, but was caught by time, and left it unfinished. Naruto is the perfect Rikudo, and he is going to do some awesome stuff in the incoming chapters. All the images I showed above contains a lot of unsolved mysteries about Naruto's character.
II. Hagoromo, Madara, Nagato and the Rinnegan!
Yeah, we know Madara unlocked the Rinnegan by mixing Ashura and Indra's chakra. This is what we concluded from BZ, Obito, Madara, and Hagoromo. However, there have always been a mystery in this. Why did Madara unlock Rinnegan when he was very old given that he took Hashirama's cell in his prime? Why couldn't he use Hashirama's cell to remain young? Why did he give the Rinnegan to Nagato, and Uzumaki of the Senju clan?
Another question is why Hagoromo knew that Madara awaken Rinnegan, but is not aware of BZ, the change in the Uchiha stone tablet, etc?
Thus, I think all the characters are hiding something. Even Hagoromo has a secret that he is hiding because this secret may not be good to share with Naruto and Sasuke.
See here for yourself.
Madara lost his right eye to Izanagi
Old Madara who mind-tricked Obito is missing his right eye
So as you can see, the blind eye and the missing eye are conveniently in the same place. Seems to me that Madara may not be the one to awaken the Rinnegan. The choice of Nagato is very specific along with the destruction of the Uzumaki clan. Also, why the previous transmigrant who also had Indra and Ashura's chakra did not unlock Rinnegan?
See, Madara's missing eye before and after Rinnegan, Nagato having Rinnegan, the destruction of the Uzumaki clan, and the fact that the previous transmigrant could not awaken Rinnegan cause some mysteries here.
Issue: Could it Be that Nagato unlocked the Rinnegan on his own?
III. Conclusion
To sum up, I tried to draw the attention of the origins of Naruto's powers, his connection to Ashura and Hagoromo, and all the mysteries in the series. I think it is safe not to trust anyone, including Hagoromo because:
(1) everyone trying to use the kids to obtain his goal
(2) Hagoromo is definitely hidding a dark past, and he is also regretful on his decision towards Indra's way.
Give your thoughts.
