I think its the naive nature of all his fanboys that makes me hate him.
I don't have a problem with Sasuke I have a problem with people who think that Sasuke is unbeatable and amazing beyond belief
That was because of Madara. It is still not clear as to whether Madara was entirely honest with Sasuke, and I honestly doubt that Itachi is the amazing hero everyone thinks he is. Fact is, he killed his family, and seriously messed up his younger brother, regardless of whether he was forced to take the mission or not.
In my eyes, anyone who dislikes Sasuke, is required to dislike Itachi, because everything that happened was the result of Itachi.
True enough. Regardless of his reasoning, Itachi still did those things. Madara's taking advantage of Sasuke's degrading mental/emotional state of mind, and manipulating him for his own purposes.
We'll find out the full story soon enough.
You can't think of it as a matter of "what if". The nine tailed fox chakra mixes with Naruto's chakra, making it hard for him to learn jutsu and be a quick learner like his father was, yet he has been able to always overcome that through hard work and perserverance. He is a true genius. Sasuke has sharingan so he is able to learn jutsus faster than any other type of character in the show. He's a genius partially due to his bloodline.
If Naruto didn't have the fox, then he would be just like his father. But he does have the fox. So there's no point in stating in a "what if" factor =/
Indeed, this is something that's overlooked too often. Naruto himself has incredible chakra and peserverence, and surpasses most without relying on the Kyuubi, more so recently, than at the start of the show.
He was able to become a Sage more capable than Jiraiya, and complete Minato's unfinished master technique (Fuuton: Rasen Shruiken), all off his own back.
(Though just once, I'd like to see him larn how to use Rasengan without his clones
)
So what's worse, having a family and friends, building those relationships and knowing what love for someone actually is, then having those torn down before your very eyes as your entire life is destroyed before you, or growing up without ever knowing what love is. Both are absolutely terrible, however I am going to bust out the old expression, "You don't know what you got till it's gone".
I'm going to agree with you here, and commend you on a very accurate analogy.
The idea of having everything you could have wanted torn away, versus having absolutely nothing for most of your life, then getting it all, is no contest, really.
No but it was stated in the last issue that Naruto is only putting so much effort into Sasuke because of Sakura, as I have been stating all along while everyone else was on flaming about "sAUCEGAY AND nARUTO ARE TEH GEY LOVES"
Naruto never goes back on his word. This has been demonstrated repeatedly and should basically be considered canon. He swore to Sakura, the one he actually loves, that he would bring Sasuke back no matter what, and that is exactly what he is going to do. He is doing this for Sakura more than anyone else. Naruto knows how much Sakura loved Sasuke, and is willing to dedicate his life to bring him back so she can be happy.
Indeed. I personally think that he does it for Sakura more than anything else.
While it might not be made as obvious, to the audience, there's an undeniable, unspoken certainty.
The "Bonds" Naruto has with Sasuke are still incredibly important, yes, and I don't doubt that he'd still put a lot of effort into bringing Sasuke back, regardless of Sakura's wishes. But maybe the bonds would have been more easily severed if not for Sakura. Would he really continue to go after Sasuke so relentlessly, if not for his love for Sakura?
I also think that Naruto's decision to put Sakura's happiness before his own, shows real strength of character.
