I don't care if no one else wants it but please talk about naruto from a cardassian perspective. u are so right about Jiraiya and Curzon

Okay. So cardassian literature according to Garak is full of repetitive cycles, they see an elegance in it. In these stories, a cardassian devotes themself to the state, grows old and dies, and the next generation does the same thing. Naruto is also a story of cycles. Cycles of souls (the alien bros i cant remember the names of, hashirama & madara, naruto & sasuke), recycled situations (2 boys and 1 girl teams over and over and over, hashirama as naruto, yahiko as naruto, obito as naruto, naruto as naruto), war after war after war. It's all a cycle of violence and devotion to the state of Konoha. And that's a bad thing. It should be a bad thing. Except it's not because the cycle is never actually broken. Naruto devotes himself to the state and says he'll change things but they don't really change and the next generation carries on the fighting. So, I think cardassians would like naruto as a story. Except they'd probably like itachi, kakashi, and danzo because of their level of unhinged devotion (because theyre all fucking brainwashed... well danzo might just be fucked up but the othet 2: brainwashed). Tldr: Naruto to me is a work of cardassian literature because kishimoto made everyone a fucking insane nationalist trained in ninja murder and never broke the cycle of violence
