As far as when it comes taming/befriending Kurama.

Frankly, I believe any noble shinobi i.e. Itachi, Kakashi, Gai, etc would've befriended Kurama just as easily as Naruto did.



BUTTTTTTTTTT!!!


That's the ONLY place where Naruto isn't considered special I feel. Even if others could've done what he done with Kurama, I still believe his resolve and Way Of Ninja is top 3 in the NV

Top 5 Way of Ninja's

1. Rock Lee - he has never once wavered.
2. Shisui - Killed himself for the betterment of the Village
3. Naruto - naruto wavered when Neji died but quickly bounced back.
4. Gai - Wavered from not continuing training after losing leg.
5. Hashirama - Wavered by killing Madara

People should appreciate Tobirama's sacrifice. He wasn't ready to sacrifice not even one life . Anyone could act as bait against those 20 shinobis which would save others. Tobirama didn't allow anyone except him to do that, thats how much he cared about village and his comrades.As hokage hee could easily order someone else to do that ,in the end couple casualties are normal in shinobi world.

But not for Tobirama he was ready to give his life just in order to save someone's else life.Respect Tobirama, the best Hokage Konoha ever had.

The thing is most of the people viewed the bijuus as chakra monsters to be used as tools and not as beings with intelligence and personality deserving of respect. That's where every other ninja went wrong including the ones you've mentioned. Naruto was the first to treat them with respect and as equal and even that was not enough to convince Kurama to see him as a friend. Its his actions all throughout the series and later his deep desire and resolve to free and work with the bijuus that won Kurama.
So I doubt others who lacked any respect for the bijuus in the first place who feared them and viewed their existence as nothing but mere tools could've done better than Naruto. Bee was the sole exception to this imo and maybe even Mito but she wasn't able to pacify Kurama completely.

The manga tries to sell this notion that Naruto was the first person to show kindness towards the beasts when that is very much not the case, see Bee and Yugara, and he, like Madara before him, only came to Kurama for his power, intending to use him for his own purposes, even abusing him for NO REASON and summoning a sealing gate to bind him just because Kurama called him out on his BS about never being able to save Sasuke, and lo and behold, Naruto didn’t even save Sasuke, it was Itachi/Hashirama/Sasuke himself that did it. Obviously, Kishi had Naruto abuse Kurama in this manner to make him look “cool” but that’s the problem with Kishi, he never thinks more than 2 steps ahead, which leads to garbage writing like this.

i think if those ppl i named were Jins they would've perceived the Bijuu much differently

i wouldn't go as far as saying Kishi is a bad writer, but you're absolutely right about everything else.

Hashirama and itachi didnt save sasuke.sasuke was planning to destroy all kages and be a villain himself.itachi left it to naruro to save sasuke because itachi knew he couldnt do it

Stop blaming kishi on your stupid biasness,reading comprehensiin and the fact that youre mad that your favorite character didnt get as much development as you like

Naruto is a well thought out series since the moment naruto said he wanted to be hokage with all tbe symbolisms and parallels that came with it

Well from what we've seen, there's not much evidence they would've.

Itachi helped the akatsuki capture bijuus and I haven't seen him expressing any type of sad emotions over it not once.
Kakashi was Naruto's teacher yet he never even once suggested that Naruto try to understand and communicate with Kurama.

Gai? I don't know where he fits in. He too hasn't shown any kindness or emotions towards the bijuu.

Every other ninja with the exception of a few have only considered the bijuu either a threat or a tool to be used. Even Hashirama who owned all of them at one time and had the luxury to talk with them, gave them away as tools to other villages to negotiate peace.

He did though, as far as we know only bee, the old guy who had shukaku, and possibly yagura where “friendly” with the bijuus, naruto is the ONLY one who actually wanted to free them. Most people just saw them as weapons, or disasters waiting to happen or be controlled.

Itach and Hashirama were the reason he stopped fighting for himself and instead made it his goal to fight for the sake of the world, even if it meant sacriicing himself.

Utter BS. Kishimoto himself admitted he was half assing things all the time like the Uchiha's powers, the Uzumaki Clan, Blood line limits, pairings, and Itachi's motives. He even admitted he shafted the Sharingan's copy ability because of how broken it would be, like Sasuke copying Naruto's Rasen Shuriken. :lol

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Itachi, Orochimaru, Kaguya, Madara, Obito, Hinata, Neji, Sai, Gaara .... So many characters are put through such garbage writing, but Kishimoto knows what he's doing?

Many people did sacrifices for the greater good. Hashirama killed his best friend, Tobirama sacrificed his life, Itachi killed his clan, Shisui committed suicide so on and so forth.

What people fail to realize far too often is that Naruto had his sacrifice. His sacrifice was to kill Sasuke so to protect the village.

And in the end what differs him from everyone else, what sets him apart and makes him the protagonist is the lengths he went to achieve his goals without having to make that sacrifice.

Not true.
Naruto alone could've saved hebi sasuke maybe even early taka sasuke but after he killed danzo the guy completely lost his mind. Sasuke admits to it and even said he would only stop avenging and slaughtering if and only if his family were brought back and that's technically what happened when edo itachi was revived as an edo. It essentially calmed sasuke down enabling itachi to instill his ability to reason and listen again which is what led him to hashirama. once he met the hokage, he established his sense of morals again which led him to his ambition to wipe out the corrupted kages and create his take on "peace". Had itachi and hashi not been there prior then it would've been impossible for sasuke to listen to naruto at the end plus his lack of empathy(morals) with naruto meaning he wouldn't acknowledge naruto even if the latter beat his ass and had to listen suggesting that naruto would have no choice but to kill sasuke or even worst kill himself included in the process.

But he was the first one to say that he'll save them and actually tried to do it.

He told Kurama that he would take away his hatred one day and since Kurama knows that Naruto never goes back on his word, he started believing him, but still needed to be convinced. This was a beast that killed his parents, despite that Naruto wanted to help him.

It was only after he helped Son Goku that Kurama wanted to help him out and Son Goku didn't even believe Naruto when he said that he wanted to help him, but understood that Naruto was serious about it later and decided to believe in him afterwards. Plus, the sage told them that someone will come one day that would help them and that helped Naruto out.

It's Naruto's actions that helped him out with the bijuu. Kurama knows that when Naruto says something, he'll do it. When he said that he wanted to be Kurama's friend and be like Bee and the 8 tails, Kurama believed him, but he still had to prove it with his actions, Kurama actually said so in the manga.
