The fanbase does put a impact on its character. When you use the same name to favor another over and over again, It makes that character sound selfish. Which is what his main fanbase makes him sound. You consider me pathetic? Well there is a ignore button use it than.
Well if you don't do any of those things than why are you bashing a certain fanbase on this thread of yours? Like what is it proving to the base?
I understand the manga is all about him but does that mean that its entirely about him? It takes a group of cast to make a show interesting. I am sure that Naruto is not the only character who had a back story in the manga? In my view I see this manga about Naruto and Sasuke. These two characters hold equal titles as main hero's of this manga. They just have a different role to play that's all.
No, Sasuke is not equal to Naruto in terms of titles as you express it.
Sasuke is simply a tool for him to wish to become stronger and stronger. The only thing that makes him look equal is because Sakura loved him and Naruto loved Sakura. Actually Kishimoto used much more than a simple plot. He used psychology. He knew that females often have the power to show and indirectly speak about how important is someone and that my friend it's just psychology bait. Oh look he gets the girls, oh he is badass. Actually that's what made him popular in the beginning. So, no. Sasuke is not on equal ground with Naruto.
Yet, indeed he is powerful even though not as powerful to match Kaguya solo but, indeed powerful regarding all the other characters in the manga. He is not even powerful enough to take Naruto alone. The plot is made in such a manner that they become equal.
Naruto > Sasuke. Naruto doesn't want to kill Sasuke => power handicap. Sasuke would kill Naruto at the slightest chance. => Naruto = Sasuke.
