Both of these two situations are rated as Sever life traumas in psychology which leave a mark on the person who experiences them.

Kishi went for these two exactly because they are rated as sever and he thought that they are equal as in pain and suffering.

I'd rather not have any of them because the other would wish to be in the other's guy shoes since one doesn't know the feeling of experiencing a motherly touch and the other would rather not know the suffering of losing family.

You question is irrelevant since I don't want to attract such ideas into my life. I'll choose my life and work the best out of it.

Naruto fapper who doesn't want to answer the question. Saying Naruto's life sucked less does not mean his life didn't suck.

Anyways, I'd pick Naruto's. While his trauma was more stretched, In his shoes, I'd have had friends growing up(iruka, ramen guy etc) as well as a girlfriend as I wouldn't have been stupid to ignore hinata. This could somewhat negate the hatred of villagers. Hell, i got mad haters now, doesn't stop me from enjoying it. I just ignore them.

In Sasuke's life, he could have any girl he wanted as well as multiple friends(fake probably) but nothing would negate the scar of seeing your entire family slaughtered.

Neither of there childhood is good but 1 is more bearable than the other.

Kishi made it clear which one had it rougher. Sasuke understand naruto's pain of loneliness but naruto doesn't understand how it truly feels to love someone than have that taken away. Naruto can't understand because naruto never lost someone like that. This is a rather cruel example but take your everyday life. Do you honestly feel true sadness (wanting to cry from the bottom of your heart) for those who are dying/died right now. We move on without feeling anything like that until it happens to us.

Sasuke childhood is the childhood you don't want anyone to have. Naruto's childhood is not a picnic either but its still the better of the 2.

p.s. Naruto eventually had iruka in his life and the 3rd cared for naruto.

filler disagree.
And you are just standing on Sasuke side because you have parent, u have experienced it.
Have you tried to ask all orphan around the globe ? especially those who got hated by everyone and being abused by evil nanny ???
Im sure they will tell you that they would rather having everyone loving them regardless of what happened to the parent that they never know....

You cant really put into their shoes 100% to tell who is worse and since you share the experience from one side, you easily judge that rather than the other side.

Indeed, they both had their struggles, but I would think Sasuke's worse as he watched his entire family and clan get slaughtered by his own brother and was literally forced into Itachi's Tsukyomi which traumatized him.

I agree. Sasuke definitely had it worse, especially when he found out Itachi's true sacrifice.

Sasuke at least had chance to get more or less good life while Naruto was doomed to be hated for no reason.

Smh, yall gotta stop treating everything like a competition

Answer me this truthfully. You would rather see your mom, dad, everybody you have known/loved (family wise), killed right in front of your face by the one person you love the most? Then to be alone from the start?

Would you rather cry yourself to sleep every night (cause you are lonely) or not be able to sleep at all (the picture of seeing your brother kill your whole family will definitely keep you up at night)?

Both of them had it shitty, but most people would side with Naruto's childhood.

Though Sasuke atleast had some fangirls, or common villagers to draw sympathy or closure from. Naruto could'nt get tear water to cry with, its amazing he didn't go insane and turn on the leaf growing up, most people in his position would have.

Honestly both are too harsh to put one over the other. So i'm undecided.

Its the logical conclusion. The 3rd took the mantle of hokage after the 4th died. While naruto was a baby who raised him as a infant can't raise himself.

Yes orphans feel a certain sadness when it comes to not knowing their parents. However, there is only one way to feel the emotion that comes with knowing someone and then having them taken away by life iteself. Then there is a whole different emotion of having your loved ones taken away by the very person you adore.

Also to clarify both of them had it rough but remember the topic is which would you prefer. Also remember sasuke didn't just lose his family, friends, and clan, the brother he adored was responsible for it.

If id had chance to rehabilitation like Sasuke id choose his childhood honestly.

Naruto was not only alone but was hated for no reason , never knew what family is and even didnt know his parents.

This is difficult given that both of their reactions to their respective tragedies were entirely unrealistic. With the way Sasuke's personality was, you'd have thought Itachi killed his dog and not his family and with Naruto you'd think he was just a regular delinquent. I can't take it too seriously.

Naruto- I'd have no one to raise me properly but eventually find someone despite being hated (Iruka) and gradually make friends from there while gaining a good rep in my beloved village. It would be lonely and I'd be obsessed with ramen (that junk food). I would never fully know a parent's love until much later, but would know some of it via my interactions with Iruka and Jiraiya.

Sasuke- I would lose a family I wasn't even too close to (he was just close to Itachi, his parents didn't pay much attention to him) and only thought of when I wanted acknowledgement as I was in the shadow of my brother. Then, I'd see a nightmare twice in my life but only be able to recall about a minute or less of it. And, I would get a full night's sleep every night given the day after the massacre, I just woke up in the hospital and asked myself if it was a dream... so not even the incident of that night was enough to leave an impression, it took me some time to get used to it. And the person who killed my family was a brother I adored because he was a measuring stick for me but I'd already partially hate him out of envy. I'd have a purpose to live instead of committing suicide due to my bro's plan and not lash out at people who don't deserve it unless they come at me first. And then, I'd find out my brother was innocent and the clan/village were in the wrong, throw a fit, then move on in life.

^That sums it up for what happened to them without all the melodrama bs.

If I were in Naruto's shoes and hated by an entire village, I wouldn't be so inspiring and if I were in Sasuke's, I'd have not wasted my time and progressed quicker (not just training with the same kunai tricks in the academy, but try to learn new ninjutsu every month)- getting vengeance after my brother sooner and upon learning the truth I'd change the shinobi system diplomatically. But, I'm a different person than both because I don't seek acknowledgement actively so life wouldn't slow me down so much and I'd be fixated on my direct goal.

I am also more ethos and logos oriented than pathos, so I would not make the same mistakes Sasuke did (ex: Never experience Tsukuyomi as I would not attack Itachi twice when I know he's stronger than me lol... I'd wait until I was confident I could give him a fight, not go to Orochimaru and instead teach myself jutsu in the village the same way ninjas before me did (Tobirama, Hashirama, Itachi, and many more), never have to attack my comrades as I would keep my village affiliation and I'd go on a short vengeance trip (as I would go after Itachi only when I'd know I was ready) like Shikamaru was approved to do with Hidan, etc. Honestly, Sasuke's life could have been drastically better quite easily, but Kishimoto just wanted to use him for the sake of creating conflict in the plot line.

I guess I'd take Sasuke's as there would be some direction whereas if I were Naruto, I'd have nothing.

No matter what, I wouldn't want to have Kabuto's, Yamato's (Orochimaru's test tube baby, yikes!), or Itachi's childhood pasts for obvious reasons though.

But if you meant which life would I have in real life and not within the context of the shinobi world, well neither is possible as in real life entire villages/cities/etc don't hate small children for something another did and parents/families are not idiotic enough to add fuel to the flames and commit suicide via a failed coup attempt after rejecting negotiation options and when they are not oppressed economically or really location wise (the Uchiha had better living conditions than most in Konoha despite being in the outskirts) and just have their pride hurt. Tailed fox spirits who destroy villages and teenage double agents with the capacity to kill a large group of people (without explosives or poison) don't exist either. So, other than the loneliness aspect Sasuke/Naruto are not possible to relate to with their pasts.

I find killing one's own parent to be the greatest sin in real life though, so Kabuto's and Itachi's stories are really hell imo. Words would never do justice to what those characters felt.

Sasuke came from a Clan of Traitors and was treated like a Prince and became a Traitor for Power. Naruto was a Prince son of a Kage,Savior of His Village at Birth, treated as garbage. Who Saves the world and changes it for the better, who never lost faith in Himself. And You have the gal to ask such a question?

Unfortunately Naruto was displayed all alone in his childhood. Yes a infant cant raise himself, but same as your logical conclusion from the manga history and filler, he probably got fed daily until he can walk, that is all. After that he was just left alone with all the hated surround him with no explanation except fear from these people. You cant really put into his shoes, probably you would just stop living and stab yourself.
A family murder is indeed a nightmare that will haunt you like forever, but given the circumstance : Sasuke got loved by everyone, he has choice to get a completely new life while Naruto doesnt. Many war in real world and baby like Sasuke always get better chance than the rest. While there is no real hope for Naruto. That is the truth of reality.

Since you mention the topic what would you prefer, that is not a good question at all. Since most people here, i think everybody here has parent as childhood, so your bias feeling is toward to Sasuke's childhood more than Naruto's childhood. That is why i said you have to ask any orphan that share same story as Naruto (like evil nanny, being a leper....), im sure most of them will say they prefer that the parent they never know get kill rather than not being loved, since there is no real hope in Naruto case at all.

Also the topic is VS, so the question should be which childhood is more tradegy and based their story. Not based on your background, since most people have parent as childhood.

You don't understand. He wanted to be alone, because of the pain he felt after the loss of his family. He was just a child then. What gets me the most is the fact people judge him for being a crybaby, but what people don't understand is that when a child witnesses the death of his ENTIRE FAMILY, it can mess him up in thee head. This is why Sasuke acted the way he did in part 1. I too would push everyone away after that situation.

It's like Dexter when his mom was chopped up in front of him when he was like 4 years old. Dexter developed anti social tendencies after that and it affected him his whole life.
