Today is a sad day for Naruto fans…

i don't know how some of you guys missed the title of this manga. but i'll tell you right now it's "Naruto". Naruto is the main character of this story, not sasuke, not madara, not hashirama, not the sage, naruto. he is going to be very important to the story, anything that worth while should be about him. like most protagonist, he will still have to work hard to use the power that he has the potential to wield. which is why you have other characters being more skilled than him, or just all around better. but through hard work and determination, he is able to close that gap and overcome. that is the theme that this manga is trying to push, but you are not getting it. sure naruto may be the reincarnation of the son of someone who was hailed as a god, but he is the no talent son. he was the one who was born without the ability to quickly pick up on things, the one who couldn't do anything right, the disappointment. so he of course is gonna be important, he's important to the story as it is HIS story. when you finally realize that it's suppose to revolve around him, the better you will be. it's like nobody has every read a story before, not just manga, stories in general. look no further than Harry Potter, Bleach, Hunger Games, The Matrix, Terminator, the main characters are important and everything that is important most likely revolves around them.

So whats your point? Naruto still had to work hard to even come close to achieving his potential.

Just because you are the son of a athelete, does not mean you will be a good athelete.

Just because you are the son of a smart guy, does not mean you wont be dumb.

etc.

If naruto didnt work hard, he wouldve just died long ago.

Naruto had to work to get to every level.

Naruto is the prophesized underdog. Has a soul of a underdog, that rises up again and again throughout the lifetimes, despite not even knowing it.

Not in the slightest. I appreciate naruto more now. Hard work with no talent = Great results.

Naruto is the reincarnation of the worthless son who had to strive to gain the power his brother Indra was born with.

Naruto already played out Ashura's role when he won the hearts of the people of Konoha after Pain's attack, the same people who shunned him as a child and feared him. That's still someone worth looking up to as a hero.

If Naruto would have been Indra's reincarnation then I would have been disappointed.
