Why is Naruto a neglectful father?

[Eternal Storm]

Right be disrespectful to other leaders by sending a Shadow Clone Lol or let your child play with a clone instead of teaching him about responsibility.

Well, tell the clone to teach him.
What Bolt did was wrong, I agree. He chose a bad time to decide to follow in his father's footsteps.
But Naruto doesn't meet other leaders every day. I mean, Tsunade and the Sandaime spent so much time doing paperwork.
I mean, Naruto uses clones to train so efficiently, can't he use clones to manage his time in the same way?

Dude the only thing these two darling kids share in common. Is the neglection from there fathers. If that goes away, how will they marry one day?

If the only thing they share in common is the neglect of their fathers, then they shouldn't be getting married at all. Marriage is based on love and trust. Two people who have absolutely nothing in common can still love and trust each other.

Hmm... After thinking about it for few seconds. Naruto could make two clones if he wanted. One for his kid and one for Salada. The one for Salada could transform into Sasuke, so Salada does not feel neglected. The only downfall of this idea is. That it may lead Naruto to cheating with Sakura.

It's not Naruto's responsibility to care for Sasuke's kid.

This. It's disrespectful for him to use a clone to meet the kages and it's not genuine if he uses a clone to play with his kids. As for things like paperwork.. Who knows, he might actually use clones to do that for him. We really can't judge base on one chapter. I think the reason Kishi included the scene is to show that he is exactly like his father.

 

[Tennis Robot]

He wants to be there for everyone

 

[Ansatsuken]

OP, are you tried to find a perfect answer of why the MC is neglecting his sons here?

it looks as you are very thirst for the truth.

Sigh you're not getting it, its just plain sad to have your kid hanging out with a Shadow Clone, that just shows you have absolutely no time for them, its like a busy inventor creating a robots to take his place at home because he wants to focus only on his work.

This chapter is an epilogue and for this reason its very important.Part 3 is not canon because supposedly Kishimoto is not writing it

But Naruto is expressly descirbed to be always busy implying he has no time for them

How was Naruto not kind to his kid?

I didnt say he wasnt kind.I meant the language used.Naruto literally says his entire village is a family and he cant be his father at all times.Now I am not saying this aint true but for a guy whose childhood was spent trying to get people to notice him this doesnt seem right
It was a similar type of a scene in the epilogue in HP except Naruto uses much kinder words to console Albus

He obviously still took out time to check on bolt despite being always busy.

Because he was messing up the Hokage mountain and the very objective of Borito was that Naruto would pay attention to him when he did that

 

[Ansatsuken]

Haha finally Naruto knew what is to be Hokage, busy everytime, even US president have a time with his family.

It batter to be normal people.

Also isnt the world very peaceful now that Naruto has ended the cycle of Hatred?How busy can he be?lol

Regardless of the reason, the action alone shows that he cares for his son.

Maybe because he is the reason that the world is peaceful?

 

[Ansatsuken]

Maybe he planning that whose gonna fill that huge city block behind Konoha that suddenly they got from heaven.

 

[JayeshMange]

I think all hokage could use kage bunshin
but that's not a proper thing to do...

its a kinjutsu dude, only few ppl can perform, ....and rank doesn't matters

 

[Shruikan]

I am not denying that.I am saying the son is feeling neglected thats why he is doing that in the first place.In any case forget Naruto,what is Hinata doing?

 

[Valhorus]

Cuz he wants to sit on the desk and play on his new Laptop !

 

[TrollingSage]

You've clearly never run a club or organisation have you? You'd be surprised by the amount of work any leader has to do
