The saddest story in naruto [may contain spoilers if you dont read manga]

[Orochimaruofthesound]

if your gonna do the age thing lets see what age was haku when his daddy kill his mom and tried to kill him and then who knows how long he was on the street starving in winter

sasuke what was he like 6 when the stuff went down

gaara was like the same age when the attacks started going down then his own uncle yea

nagato close as well

then itachi he died at like 26 so for 13 or 14 years he lived with what he had done bearing down on him for that long

its more like 8-10 years though but other than that i agree

What would you choose (an example):

- Having a father from the start, having awesome time with him, but after 15 years, he dies in a car-accident.
- Being alone from the start.

I know both are TERRIBLE, but the first one is less painfuller... At least you knew love.

It seems you are trying to mitigate Itachi's pain. He didn't lose his family in a freak accident, he was forced to murder them so at least one could survive, then be hated for it, even though he was innocent. Go into exile, and turning his one and only remaining loved one into a emotionally damaged child, making him hunt him down and kill him. That isn't even the whole story.

And allow me to pose my own question. Which is more painful?

-Being born without an arm
-Having an arm and have it ripped of

Clearly, as Sasuke pointed out so long ago, we suffer because of out bonds. Having a bond and losing it, is more painful than never having one to begin with, because you can never feel the pain of losing it. Also, the pain from losing that bond can increase or decrease, depending on how it is lost. For example, having a love one be murdered is more painful than them dying from old age. Sure Naruto may have been suffering for longer, but that doesn't mean he has been suffering more.

And then there is the final nail in the coffin. The fact that he is an Uchiha, who naturally loves more and will feel more pain when the one he loves is lost.

No, I am not at all minimilazing Itachi's pain. I am just pointing out it is ridiculous to say something is worse then being alone and ignored your entire life. I can not even imagine it...

you are pointing out just one part a characters story. other nagato Itachi has over his entire life from birth to death

naruto is a hero. so his sadness is kinda irrelevant same can be said about gaara im not hating on them but they are heros in there respective villages

 

[yep]

Gaara had the saddest he was alone till 12 and couldn't even SLEEP till 16 when he died

it was obvious that Chiyo was the one to be killed by Kishi

chiyo didnt really feel sad about it (that i know of) till gaara was killed because of her

 

[Lightbringer]

if itachi did that he would have been hunted down he wanted sasuke to grow up differently

how/why would he have been hunted down? Wasn't he hunted down anyways when he joined the akatsuki?....I'm pretty sure he could handle himself

Itachi by far
