Honestly, it doesn't make sense does it?

Especially since Kishimoto said that the Ninja World is our's minus guns and cars and trains and planes. You'd think he'd make a passing reference to grief counselors or trained psychologists which help shell shocked ninja like Kakashi through their grief.

I know its not ninja-like though I bet the use of therapists might have altered the path of some of those tragic backstory villains.

- Orochimaru
- Madara
- Kakashi
- Itachi
- Sasuke
- Kisame
- Deidara, etc


Group sessions is something I think Naruto Uzumaki ought to adopt should he become hokage. It's weird how mentally unstable that world is, and how lackluster the therapeutic efforts are. I reckon Naruto fulfill this role perfectly.

Rembers, Nagato & Obito :rolleyes: XD

Kishimoto said Orochimaru was pure evil, even as a child he had extreme amounts of malice behind his eyes. Madara, I don't even know, Kakashi sure, Kisame sure, Sauce sure, Deidara justs like blowing up shit, so no.

I've been saying this for quite a long time. Had this universe had some therapists most of these problems wouldn't have happened. Some people that really needed it. I'll give some examples, but obviously we could keep going.

- Chiyo: she just left her grandson to suffer severe emotional trauma
- Sasori: Needed rehabilitation after the death of his parents
- Sasuke: Similar to Sasori
- Naruto: Similar to Sasori/Sasuke + bullying issues
- Oro: multiple persona issues, and maybe pedophilia
- Kabuto: Severe issues due to lack of belonging, and potential abuse
- Tsunade: Alcohol issues, and depression
- Madara: Loser complex, inferiority complex, actually multiple complexes
- Nagato: Severe war trauma
- Obito: trauma from witnessing the death of a loved one
- Kakashi: Same as Obito
