Madara isn't misunderstood at all. I know it's the love for his brother that drives him, but look where it's lead him so far. Pain truly wished for actual and true peace, Madara doesn't.Pain was confused for a while as well, edit this and put Madara in immediately.
Being labeled the God of Shinobi is not purely out of power. Quoting myself from my thread a few days back:Naruto is the reincarnation of the Sage of Six paths, while the others are just descendant but they are pretty strong nonetheless.
Outside of the common definition, here are some of the other things being called God can mean. Simply being worshiped and followed can have you referred to as a God. - This definition fits all 3 of the characters who have been named it. The people followed and worshiped the Sage for saving them from the juubi and teaching them ninjutsu. The people followed and worshiped Hashirama for creating a village and keeping them safe. The people followed and worshiped Hiruzen for "taking the torch" from Hashirama/Tobirama and continuing to lead and protect the village.
Another definition? A man who has talents/qualities that make him superior to other men. - This, once again, fits all 3 of the characters. The Sage was the creator of ninjutsu, so he clearly held a talent/quality superior to other men. Hashirama held the ability to use mokuton(and in return control the tailed beast) and is the only one to ever naturally do so, giving him a talent/quality superior to other men. Hiruzen mastered all 3 ninja arts, something no ninja(that we're aware of) has ever done..giving him a talent/quality superior to other men.
On top of those two definitions, let's not forget how loved they were by the people they guided and protected. The Sage wanted nothing but peace in life, and saved them from what most thought was unstoppable. Hashirama created order and safety by developing Konoha. Hiruzen loved everyone in the village as if they were family(and to him they were), and having reigned as hokage for a total of 30+ years(the longest any Hokage has to date), obviously played a role in continuing to protect them.
When you create such a following by doing such loving actions, people will refer to you as superior to everyone else. They will think of you as more than just another human. Thus, earning these 3 their titles. None of them cancel each other out. It's not a fight for who deserves the title. None of that crap. Lets try and keep that out of the already silly strongest whatever debates.
Uhmm....saved the Land of Waves, ended Gato's tyranny through Zabuza, got the bridge named after him.(The Great Naruto Bridge)Being labeled the God of Shinobi is not purely out of power. Quoting myself from my thread a few days back:
same here bye byeWtf..no Itachi or Minato.....screw this im out
I never said Naruto hadn't done anything deserving of the title. If anything, that's reflected upon Nagato. Dunno how you got me doubting Naruto out of that lol.
Uhmm....saved the Land of Waves, ended Gato's tyranny through Zabuza, got the bridge named after him.(The Great Naruto Bridge)
Saved Konoha from Gaara and Shukaku
Saved the future Godaime Hokage and mastered an S rank Jutsu in a week.
Saved the Kazekage, brought him back from the dead vicariously.
Saved Konoha from one the the greatest threats of the world. Put Nagato's tormented soul to rest. Regarded as the Hero who stopped Pain.
Let's not get started on the war.
Naruto is the name that gives hope and signifies light to the world. He deserves to be there more than anyone!
And without Edos, who do you think he's under?I'd say kabuto, Since with Edo's he is second in strength only to the sage himself.
Pointless question really.And without Edos, who do you think he's under?
Excuse me are you saying that a jutsu = a person? Cuz that's what it sounds like.Pointless question really.
It's like me saying, Hashirama without mokuton, Tobirama without his S/T, Minato with FTG, Naruto without kyuubi, Madara without his sharingan and so on.
