Why do people ridiculously claim that Naruto didn't work hard to gain techniques like fuuton rasensuriken just because he used shadow clones to multiply the results of his training?!
No offense to people who make such a claim, but I say that calling the usage of shadow clones in training a cheap short cut is just plain idiotic. There is a fundamental lesson that people who make this claim just don't get:
There is a difference between working smart and taking a lazy short cut.
By using shadow clones to enhance his training, Naruto simply used what was in his arsenal to its most advantageous potential. That is working intelligently, not lazily. Anyone who calls it lazy or unfair is just speaking nonsense!
Now I know some of the arguments that opponents to my stance will take:
Argument 1: "It is unfair because not everyone has the chakara reservoir that allows Naruto to spam shadow clones."
My response: Tough! Get over it! If you know anything about evolution or natural selection, then you know that in order to survive and progress you simply have to use what is available to you to the best of your ability. Using some shinobi as examples: Kiba and Shino don't have the chakara reservoirs that Naruto has. So what?! That shouldn't stop them from seeking out a mentor to teach them some new jutsus or picking up a freaking book or a scroll to learn something new, or buying some of that chakara nature paper so that they could learn some elemental jutsus.
It is not Naruto's fault that just about every shinobi in the series absolutely has to be a clone of their clan or village and stick only to the shared techniques of their clan or village! Did Naruto tell Ino that she could only learn mind body techniques and absolutely no other offensive techniques? No he did not! Did Naruto tell Shino that he could only use bugs and nothing else?! No he did not! Did Naruto tell Kiba that he was forbidden to learn any space-time techniques or genjutsus or elemental jutsus or anything like that, and that he could only use Inuzuka jutsus? No he did not!
Naruto's not being lazy or unfair by doing the smart thing and using shadow clones to enhance his training. All of these other shinobi are just being plain stupid by only sticking to one line of techniques and nothing else!
There are a number of shinobi who aren't Uzumakis, jinchuurikis, or transmigrants, and who don't have the same chakara reservoir as Naruto that have actually been smart and learned some good things!
Minato for instance invented the rasengan, and learned sage mode, ftg, shadow clone jutsu and summoning jutsu. He even came up with that long name rasen senkou whatever jutsu an learned a number of sealing jutsus. Hiruzen did a smart thing by diversifying and supposedly learning every jutsu in Konoha. Itachi is a master of genjutsu and a number of other jutsus such as fire and water style even without sharingan (so you can't use the logic that he is an Uchiha as an excuse because he doesn't need sharingan for this stuff). The same goes for Shisui and the body flicker. Boruto learned suiton, raiton and fuuton under Konohamaru's tutelage (and the Boruto movie showed that his chakara reserve right now is not nearly as large as Naruto's). Kakashi invented chidori and had shadow clone jutsu, earth style and other things before even getting the sharingan. The list goes on and on!
None of the people above have chakara reservoirs like Naruto. Therefore it is clear that it is possible to become strong without having the chakara reservoir that Naruto has. In other words, claiming that Naruto is being lazy or unfair by using shadow clones to enhance his training is just a pitiful excuse justifying the stupidity and weakness of some other shinobi like Shino or Kiba who only stick to their clans' jutsus.
By the way, shadow clone jutsu is not a kekkei genkai and chakara reserves can be increased with training, thus rendering the statement that Naruto is being lazy/unfair even more stupid!
Argument 2: The Lee/Guy argument
People act like just because Lee and Guy train 24/7 and are bad with ninjutsu means that Naruto is lazy and doesn't work hard. Listen, Lee and Guy are special cases! The fact that they are bad with ninjutsu doesn't make those who are good with it unfair. It just means that Lee and Guy must work a little harder to use what is available to them.
Conclusion: People need to learn the difference between working smart and being lazy/unfair
