How many people bought Naruto? How many gave votes for the choices that include Danzo, Orochimaru and Kabuto (lol?) and Aizen as well? Yeah, you probably know little or nothing about stats.I love how Sasuke fans always desperately trying to make Sasuke as relevant as Naruto aka the main character/hero
It's not working, and lemme tell you an interesting fact, Sasuke is the most hated anime character (2nd after Sakura) with 7k++ votes in Anime Planet. =D
OT: btw Sasuke's ultimate savior/idol is Naruto. Sasuke looked up to him like Itachi eversince he was a kid. All these respects Sasuke had for Naruto had rustled Sasuke fans' jimmies. Thats why a salty thread like this exists XD

Man, so much hate for Sasuke in the comments...I LOVE IT!
To those who actually like this ****er, you all can go to hell.
I wouldn't say that Obito wanted Sasuke's body so much as he wanted a pawn. And you have some characters, like Kabuto, who simply had no interest in Sasuke abilities. All he saw was a lab project whenever he looked at Sasuke. On the other hand, Kabuto took a serious interest in Naruto's character.Remember when the Antagonists wanted Naruto and not Kurama? Neither do I.
P.s: Solo and Naruto x Hunter have already ended the arguments. Yet fan-fictions still continue.
This has got to be the stupidest logic anyone can go for to justify Naruto's status. No one wanted Naruto, literally no one as far as the opposition parties go. They wanted Kurama, not Naruto. Had Naruto been captured, I am sure no one would have cared for his dead husk.
And before you launch into a long winding post on how it's the same with Sasuke, then it isn't. Sharingan is a part of Uchiha genes; it's something that is in their blood. Like Senju's strong bodies, or Uzumaki's strong Life Force / Chakra, or Hyuga's Byakugan - all made possible because of their genetic line. You cannot separate it from them.
Both Orochimaru and Obito wanted Sasuke's entire body. Did the same happen with Naruto? Yeah, I'll wait for a scan. And are you seriously separating Sasuke's body from himself? NB has officially reached new heights of sheer lunacy. Now the body is separate from a person, yet the tailed beast, a separate being, isn't from the vessel.
Thank you for agreeing with him that they only wanted Kurama, not Naruto.
The syncing with the Mezo was not possible without a strong set of EMS - something only Sasuke could have done. It doesn't matter whether he wanted a pawn or not; a pawn isn't a pawn without the body. Sasuke never believed him anyway, hence the reason why he confirmed the story from every person he met. It was never revealed why Kabuto wanted Sasuke, but he was most interested in him. Enough, that he helped Obito in the war with ETs' enhanced with Orochimaru's chakra and better control, all for Sasuke as a bartering tool. You cannot slight his interest here.I wouldn't say that Obito wanted Sasuke's body so much as he wanted a pawn.

In fact, there are probably more people who took a interest in Sasuke simply because of his family name, abilities, or Itachi. On the other hand, those same people expressed an interest in Naruto as well. Haku and Zabuza come to mind. Deidara too.
You could actually say that people only took a interest in Naruto and Sasuke simply because of the power at their disposal. However, most of Naruto's enemies always took a personal interest in him. So yes, I do believe that the villains "care" about Naruto.
face palmS -All the main villains are interested in Sasuke.
Obito didn't care about Naruto at first.
Madara never noticed Naruto.
Kaguya never noticed Naruto, she only saw her son in Naruto.
Orochimaru was never interested in Naruto.
Akatsuki cared nothing about Naruto, only the beast inside of him.
Now, the new villains are around and yet again, they are interested in Sasuke. Has there been any villain that showed interest in Naruto? Only time they get interested is when Naruto show off his Nine-Tailed Power.
So why exactly does it matter that most people only took a interest in Naruto because of Kurama? When I say most people, I'm talking about the characters who showed an actual interest in Naruto's character. Granted, most characters who took an interest in Naruto's development weren't villains, but even his enemies turned friends and other villains took had reasons for noticing Naruto.The syncing with the Mezo was not possible without a strong set of EMS - something only Sasuke could have done.

Can you really separate that from Sasuke? This logic doesn't make any sense to me. If a person has certain ties, or certain abilities, let it be any ability such as intelligence, skill, craftsmen ship, cunning - real world dynamics - and if some other party shows interest, then can you separate all that from a person, given that these facets make a person to begin with? An individual is an individual based on the dynamics and aspects that make him. Beyond that, he's just another useless man in the crowd.
Beyond Kurama? Not really. It was what was housed within Naruto that made him important. Had Kurama been in somebody else, all of that changes.
I was talking about Antagonists the entire time. Normally, Antagonist is too broad a term to be used like this, but for NB, I think it should suffice. My point was decent amount of interest, not simply noticing someone.So why exactly does it matter that most people only took a interest in Naruto because of Kurama?

Nagato, Itachi, Kabuto, Obito, Zabuza, and Haku showed personal interest about Naruto.
Orochimaru, who says that he has an eye for talent, desperately tried to kill Naruto because of his potential.
Deidara wanted to fight against Naruto.
I'm not saying that people didn't notice Sasuke, but those same people noticed Naruto too.
