Naruto himself was one of the worst things that could happen to this manga. From a writing perspective, the guy has no extended motif going for him unlike Sharingan for the Uchihas that expand upon a lot of dimensions surrounding the clan. His character is stale, redundant and boring. The affect it creates is that of a dead cat hanging from a noose in front of a light grey wall, and the paint has yet to even dry. That is how boring he is.

With less of him and his band of stale monkeys around, the manga would be fantastic.

Every arc should have focused on a different character, like the Hidan arc and Sasuke centered arcs. Shikimaru, Neji, Sasuke, Kakashi, all of them would make for really great main characters. It seems to me people liked the story most when Naruto took a back seat and other characters moved the narrative along. Like when Orochimaru fought Hiruzen, if Naruto was there it wouldn't have been nearly as good as it was.

..that Manga without Tobidara is $hitt !

Tobirama was good because he was the voice of reason among many idealistic characters who's stubborn ideals as well as their selfish emotions got in the way of good desiscion making, such as sparring someone's life in order to preserve moral credibility and respect a friendship. He was cold and calculating, kill the Uchiha because they will only cause trouble inevitably. He was right.

For example Hiruzen hesitated to kill Orochimaru after catching him doing sick experiments, he lacked Tobirama's resolve.

The Uzumaki are leagues more interesting than the Uchiha, which we basically know all about now.

His clan was feared worldwide
Posses strong live forces
Unmatched in fūinjutsu

Had such things as Kongō Fūsa and abnormal healing capabilities.


If Naruto was written with a closer background to his clan or was at least left with a seals other than the Torii Seal

He, Nagato and Karin would have been way better than anyone in the Uchiha clan.

How? I would need something other than a claim when the metaphorical implications of 'Tears of Blood' of Sharingan's metamorphosis and Amaterasu alone have several connotations running with them - the kind you can connect to the Clan's fictive past and human psychology. Knowing Sealing Techs is not good writing. Not even close.

How exactly would they have been better characters? You can always post more. I am always up for a literary debate. Nagato was a better character not because of his Clan, mind you.

I see you prefer more story about emo boy and co than a good story.

Funny you call him emo when your fav hyperventilated over the said "Emo",buried his head in the snow before a crowd literally and cried because he wasnt giving a shit about him and his Messiah complex

Naruto is one of the worst characters in the series, the manga would be a hundred times better without him.

I wonder if people realize that character bashing can be reported.

OT; It would definitely be boring. Up until Part 1 > Part 2 without Naruto? This would not even be the same manga anymore, and some of the characters would be dead if not erased, and the plot relevance would shrink and would be an empty black hole

*Insert You always walked in front of me scan*

In chapter 619 Tovirama explained very well why Uchihas in general are emo.

The story starts off with Naruto, and his past revelence with the Fox Spirit being sealed in him. Just replace Sasuke with any other random character and have him develop with Naruto and start a rivalry and bromance.

The future Sasuke is irreplaceable.

And no Sasuke never gave a shit about Naruto till 699.Even in 700 and in the Sakura novel AND the Last he is away from the village

Thats funny because Naruto himself is one over Sasuke
