Hi, it's me. What I wanted to say is that the more I reflect on Naruto as a story, the more I dislike it. Kishi's writing has left me w/ so many conflicted feelings. The biggest problems I have with it are the Konoha nationalism & the contradictions between part 1 & 2 of Naruto. When I finished Naruto, I became an anti ender. I didn't like Hyuga slavery not being addressed, Orochimaru bring free, the solution to the cycle of hatred never being resolved, no help w/ amagakure, (1/?)

As well as the Uchiha genocide hidden away & justified. Then I thought about it & realized Naruto (the character) never addressed those issues. When Nagato, Madara, Sasuke, Neji were told that their beliefs/solutions to the shinobi system were wrong, Naruto never came up w/ a solution. This is when I started to dislike him as a character; I began to see how shallow & hypocritical he is. The TnJ was just a device to shut those who were against the village. (2/?)

In order silence those who were against the village & Naruto, he would compare his suffering to theirs & then say bc he suffered & he is not against the village, then the other antagonists shouldn’t be either. This makes Naruto close minded & self centered bc he tries to equate his suffering to others in order to invalidate them. Not all suffering is the same & he doesn’t realize this. (3/?)

What boggles my mind the most is that he says he’s against the shinobi system yet supports the village that functions of the system. He doesn’t realize that in order to fix the system & end cycle of hatred you need to create a whole new system. That being said I especially saw this when Naruto tries to reason w/ Sasuke. I used to be a huge sns shipper bc of how deep and developed the bond was (especially compared to other ships) but the more I see Naruto not understanding sasuke (4/?)

And his own blind jingoism, the more I started to not like the ship. I know that none of the ships are perfect & sns is flawed but I like how there is a sense of mutual understanding & care for each other. I still like sns for what it added to the story but not with naruto being pro konoha. Naruto wasn’t the only character I began to have 2nd thoughts on. What also bothers me is that Itachi is well loved within the fandom. Itachi is still my fav character but not for the reasons (5/?)

Everyone else has. I like itachi bc he was the epitome of a konoha hound dog who blindingly supported whatever the village said, even to. The point of committing genocide. I dont like how itachi is seen as a hero & he shouldn’t be excused for his actions. I do think itachi loves sasuke above all else & did everything to protect him but he also did bc he is the biggest supporter of the village, despite being an uchiha. (6/?)

Lastly I wanted to say that I naruto went downhill rapidly when part 2 contradicted part 1. Naruto used to be kid that was in last pale & had to work hard to catch up to everyone else. However in part 2, its revealed that he’s gifted under his bloodline, he was prophesied twice by the sage turtle to be the child of prophecy, & the fact that he’s the reincarnation of the son of the saye of 6 paths. That’s when everything felt disingenuous. Everything naruto stood for was gone (7/8)  

I found that there was no reason to support him as a character & kishi’s writing made it seem like he didn’t know what he was doing while writing naruto. Despite all of this I still did not regret going through the series. I dont really like as much as I used to (to me its mediocre at most.) Anyway I love your blog and your analyses. They’re well thought out. Thank you for reading my thoughts & I’m sorry my ask was so long. (8/8) 

I do agree with you for the most part, and thinking about it, it’s actually incredible sad how the series went downhill. From propagating nationalism to ignoring the Uchiha genocide---it’s as if nothing was important anymore at the end of the show. I genuinely do not care about the rest; it’s just so incredibly boring and senseless to me. But no matter what, I will still love Sasuke and SNS and believe that he and his clan deserve the justice they were withheld. Ugh, I mean we have discussed about this so much, and honestly, what Kishimoto did to the ending and how he didn’t resolve all of these issues is his own fault. Also, thank you for the kind words, I appreciate them so much!

Although I normally dont like when characters suddenly disappear without any closure to their character & never show up in the story again, Horikoshi would do justice if he did it to that purple twat. I would also accept an off screen death bc Horikoshi does not need to put hours of his time to create an on screen death. Him and his stank ass diaper do not need more spotlight than he already gets.

kjdshsdjk i can only dream of one day he draws a whole spread of a class photo or smth but He isn’t in it at all and for the rest of the story it’s just a random disappearance, that’d honestly be hilarious

Imma need to see a full roast for Hiruzen plz. Can't stand his passive bitch ass.

hiruzen breaking his promise to kushina is like the biggest insult in itself

he didn’t deserve to be hokage

I was tagged by @shadesofablacksun to post five random facts about myself. thanks for the tag man!

1 - I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing with my life but somehow I keep getting lucky and figuring shit out anyway. adulthood was a scam, don’t buy it.

2 - I can play sims for 12 hours straight without moving from where I’m sitting, even going to the bathroom is limited if I don’t eat or drink anything prior.

3 - I read more than I talk, which says a lot about me, anyone can tell you I always have some sort of book with me, lately it’s been one that I’ve read six times already.

4 - I can ride my bike with no handlebars. Actually the fun story behind that was..in the middle of peddling, my handlebars popped clean off and I didn’t have a choice but to ride without handlebars for about a mile until I crashed. I rose unscathed.

5 - I absolutely hate plastic silverware. I don’t have any justification as to why, I just absolutely hate the way it feels in my mouth.

I tag - @dreamood @bubblesmakemesmile @dollfacedbunny @cognitivecapricorn @violenceinmyhead @rai-shadou @endlesslyfree @wispyannular @pinkdolphin12 @pixiedragon8130
