For some reason i always thought naruto to be like... sadness for a character then in some small way it got better... not for everyone obviously like obito for example. After watching the sora arc i noticed how he was hated by everyone in the fire temple, finaly had some people that recognized him and were his freind, so his life actualy got better, so then hidan and kakuzu go kill the closest he had to a sensei, wipes out the whole temple and we dont even see him in that episode? kishi just drops him as a character? seriously kishi might have made naruto but for his talent i wonder how much focus and hard work he realy put in doing everything he did.
