What you think?

(1) Sasuke having a family, knowing love, having a sense of belonging

then losing both of those things brutally to a person he loved.

(2) Dedicating his entire life to avenge his family by killing his brother.

Or

(1) Naruto being shunned for being a Jinchūriki

and never having a family or knowing where he came from (seclusion).

(2) Dedicating his entire life to rid the world of hatred.

I'd say Naruto, Sasuke more or less ran from everything else while Naruto shouldered not only his own burden but others' as well.

I like your answer.

It's true, Naruto took on everyone's else's heart aches and added them to his own.

Naruto had to shoulder everything and change it for the better. Sasuke's only burden was to kill Itachi and once he had done it he attempted to go and attack Konoha which says that he is running away from his problems. Naruto wanted to make everyone acknowledge him so I say Naruto for sure.

lol. I can't believe the Mods deleted that "Who is a better ninja" thread. I didn't see anything wrong with it!

For this one. If you're talking about who had it worse, then Sasuke is my answer.

Yeah naruto didn't have no parents and shit. That's sad. But all these recently flashback of Naruto in part2/movies/fillers be showing that Naruto didn't had it that bad.

This is where Kishi F-ed up again. Part 1, he made it seem like Naruto had it bad, but all that really ended once he become part of team 7 at the age of 12 right? Then in part 2, in nearly all of Naruto's flashback, it doesn't seem like he had it bad. He was just neglected from other adults.

Now if you're asking who shouldered the most responsibility, then Naruto.

Naruto, all the while not giving into week emotions like anger and fear but instead dealing with it head on, being the real nig*a that he is.

Sasuke. Being hated by everyone is nothing compared to loosing all of your loved ones.

I'm not in total disagreement but I feel like your down playing Sasukes hardships. Sasuke lost his entire family and clan in one night to his Itachi (his beloved brother) and he was so determined to avenge that lost that he walked down a dark path just to grasp the power needed.

Sasuke didn't leave the village becuase he was scared of being there or becuase it was or easy way out. He left becuase Orochimaru offered him power..

Somebody need to read part 2 again. Naruto stated himself he been running away from Kurama. Then decided to face it in order to become strong enough to bring Sasuke home.

Anger and fear are weak emotions?

You been Mind raped from tsukuyomi. Then you join team 7, FINALLY MOVED ON with your life! Then itachi appear out of no where and raped your mind again with the tsukuyomi! Sasuke had to leave the village. He was in a fantasy world while in that village in that team 7. He left the village to face his demon(Itachi)! Because, we all know that Sasuke wasn't gonna get stronger in that village if he had stay.

You can pick Naruto, but don't pick him for those reasons at all!

Here is how I look at it.

Sasuke had terrible trauma, but he was an overall victim and not offender, hypothetically he wasn't the "gun", the villagers throughout Naruto's entire life treated him as if he were the "gun", Naruto not only harbored the feelings of being lonely and rejection, but harbored the cause of something he had nothing to do with. Sasuke was openly accepted and always had atleast Ino, Sakura and the countless girls that drooled over him to confide in and talk too. Naruto had zip until Iruka.

Though both different tragedies that almost weigh the same.

Neither really but I guess Nardo when it comes between the two of them.

But Naruto lost his parents and was hated and shunned by most of the village but instead of give in to it like Sasuke did he stayed and dealt with it like a man. Now he protects those same people and if it wasn't for him Sasuke would either be dead or still hated by most.

True.

But I feel like Naruto could've easily gotten attention from any of the other adults like mighty guy, Kakashi, asuma, even the 3rd hokage. He could've easily become 3rd hokage's special student since he is a jin.

Again, this is where Kishi F-ed up. He could've made the story a lot better by making Naruto being a shinobi that was force to learn all ninjutsu and shit at a young age and never hangout with other kids. This way, I could understand Naruto a lot better.

But Naruto lost his parents and was hated and shunned by most of the village but instead of give in to it like Sasuke did he stayed and dealt with it like a man. Now he protects those same people and if it wasn't for him Sasuke would either be dead or still hated by most.

What??

Sasuke loved ones were killed by the one that he loved the most right in front of him only to find out that he did it to protect a village that hated their whole clan.
