Let's take a trip down memory lane and recall Naruto's journey so far:

Part I:

1- Joins the academy.

2- Becomes a part of Team 7 with Sakura and Sasuke.

3- Explains to Kakashi that he wants to be Hokage.

4- Participates in the Chunin Exams and does good.

5- Starts acting a badass and accepts Sasuke's challenge. (Naruto sure got punched a lot under those blankets)

6- Naruto tries to rescue Sasuke and his road to neediness for Sasuke begins.


Part II:

1- Returns home and all he can think about right away is Sasuke, instead of chasing Hinata and Sakura.

2- Gets a boner when he sees Sasuke for the first time in 2 1/2 years.

3- Tries to master the RS, so that he doesn't feel inferior to Sasuke. Finally, Naruto learns wind! (2 1/2 yrs for nothing)

4- Naruto blasts Kakazu with RS. (That was my first Naruto Shippuden Moment with Naruto)

5- Naruto tries to chase Sasuke down, but fails and punches the Uchiha monument stone in anger and shame.

6- Naruto fights Pain after he invades the village (This was Naruto's best moment and i started to like his character)

7- Naruto begging the Raikage to leave Sasuke alone (That lost some swag points)

8- Naruto losing his tonsils and his ability to breathe after hearing that Sasuke is a wanted man. (Hee..Hoo..Hee..Hoo)

9- Naruto asking Sasuke to die with him...

10- Naruto saying "I'll be waiting for you, saucecakes." (creepy)

11- Saving the world and has been fighting for 2-3 days so far (biggest feat)


So far until now, Naruto has been less annoying... I have to thank Kishi for making Naruto such a good character during the War Arc... Otherwise, Naruto would still be chasing Sasuke's tail and we all know that it gets boring at some point. But yeah, Naruto is a vanilla character. Deal with it, Naruto fanboys. All he wants to do is be Hokage and all he's done in the story is chase Sasuke (creepy). His life didn't involve as much risk, pain, and as a much deceitfulness as Sasuke. Which is why Sasuke's character is way better. Don't learn to love Sasuke, but learn to embrace the reality. Kishi would also be a much happier man, if you started to adapt to the real manga facts as well. #MainDoesn'tMeanBest #NarutoIsVanilla #SasukeIsBetter #GetItRight #DealWithIt

There's a reason why he's chasing down sasuke though
It said on the uchiha tablet yin and yang cooperating together can achieve happiness
Hokage-fire(yang)shadow(yin)
Hashi and madara
Tobirama and uchiha police force
Hiruzen and Danzo
None of those have cooperated together naruto and sasuke will

I agree that Naruto is kinda generic, not exactly for the reasons u stated though. I liked him and Kurama a lot better when they weren't buddies. Naruto IMO is the Shonen stereotype to the T, but a lot of ppl like that so meh. :coffee:

Have to say i agree. The depth of Sasukes character is much greater than Narutos. Kishi also adds small things to show this if you notice: i.e. Sasuke used Genjutsu against Danzo and imitated Itachis Crows as well as Itachi himself; this nodded towards Sasukes pain at losing Itachi, which again shows depth and relevance to the story seeing as the Itachi storyline could have been considered an Arc within itself.

I'm not saying Naruto isn't good, or that he hasn't suffered his own problems in his past. However, in contrast to the depth behind Sasukes character Naruto seems pretty one-dimensional.

so sasuke is not typical shonen rival...
He was in part one. I loved the spiral into darkness, and his character actually searching for truth and gradually returning back to his old self...............................I really don't know. I haven't really seen many characters like Sasuke.

The closest would probably be Vegeta, but I like sasuke's development more

So much potential that Naruto had... All for it to be flushed down in the toilet.

Rival or not, Sasuke is better, Gaara is better, and even lazy Shikamaru was better.

At least you understood my point.

Probably at first the theme was friendship then it turned into something else.
Naruto when he was little as orphan he saw Sasuke something as an ideal,who came from a prestigious clan and was better at everything.He was everything that Naruto wanted to be.Probably Naruto was biggest Sasuke fanboy even while acting like hating him Lol.
