Firstly you can't really speak for all members of the base when you call us privileged, that's a massive generalization. You have no idea who half of the people are like on this website and what their experiences are. Who are you to say that someone has a "perfect little life" because they haven't lost someone? Get real. YOU are the one with the empowering sense of judgement trying to create a warped perception of what you think people's lives are like on the Base without even knowing any of the people here.A question for all of those that dislike Sasuke and Obito and their doings in the story....
Have you ever lost someone extremely close to you? A dear young healthy family member who you couldn't even think of losing to death? How about all of them getting slaughtered by your own sibling upon orders from old ass politicians? Just think for a second...if that were to happen to you tonight....
How about the person you love the most, who's mere thoughts keep you going in tough times, how about watching that person getting stabbed through the heart by someone who had sworn to you to protect that person in exchange for your own life?
you know what....you can't put yourself in their shoes....cuz you have a perfect life, hell you've never even lost someone to an accident or disease like cancer.....you don't even know the pain of something like that....let alone having them murdered by someone....
Because you're too damn privileged in your perfect little lives, you pass judgement on people while never having experienced what they have experienced......
You say "if that were to happen to me I wouldn't do what he did", EASIER SAID THAN DONE fools! Just close your eyes and think of losing a father a mother a brother a sister to death tonight....imagine the pain you would feel....you cannot! The only way to know that pain is to experience it first hand! Which most of you wouldn't even think of doing!
No one that has ever lost someone they truly cared about can ever judge the Uchiha!!
No one that has lost anyone they truly loved, in such a way that they would give their own life for them, can ever understand the pain that Sasuke and Obito have gone through.....you have some sort of self empowering sense of judgement when you have never experienced what it feels like.....
And if you really want to go there, to answer your question "if that were to happen to me i wouldn't do what he did", NO. I would NOT go and try and destroy the whole world or a village based on the loss of one person. That is selfish and morally wrong. The ending of one persons life does not constitute the ruining of others lives for my personal gain. Thus, Sasuke and Obito's ideals are in fact flawed and unjust. For you to actually agree with them is actually quite worrying. I'm guessing that you have such a strong liking for these characters and the Uchiha Clan overall that you have somehow taken their ideals as a basis for your own moral compass.
Secondly, there are probably people on the Base who HAVE lost loved ones and still do not enjoy Sasuke and Obito's ideals. Why? Because their characters were built up to be composed, cool and badass, only for them to now have emotional changes and become "soft" as a result, paving the way for a TNJ at the end of the story. They aren't here for the message. They get the message already. Some of them are here for the story and are interested in how Kishi goes about writing it. And truth be told, Kishi has developed their characters badly.
And thirdly, the thing I dislike about posts like these. It is a manga, and some people get far too attached to it and the characters. If i have lost a loved one, sorry, but Naruto is not exactly at the top of my list for inspiration. Itachi is not a philosophical god who can provide me with guidance through my life. He is a fictional character with one or two quotes that have some insight in life. Kishi has not thought up some original philosophical concept that he has projected through his characters.
There has been a recurring theme of friendship, protecting your friends and maintaining peace in manga and anime LONG BEFORE Naruto even came to the scene, so it's pointless to act like Naruto is the absolute guide to how to live your life. In addition, there are some morals to the manga and some meaning behind it, but it is nothing that you can't find in the following:
1) Great literary texts
2) Philosophical ideas
3) Culture
4) Religion
I do not mind if people use Naruto as guidance to help them through life, that is fine. Different things work for different people. But I am against the ones who practically worship the manga and fail to see the things in real life around them that actually show them the signs.
You have failed to convince me, and by the looks of it, failed to convince others. This thread is both spoiled, arrogant, and can actually come across as offensive to some people. You really need to take a step back and think about what you're saying for a second
