What are your controversial and hot takes on Naruto?

7: Hiruzen was better than Jiraiya when it came to raising Naruto as a child

Ok so when you stop and think of it, Sasuke with all the Tailed Beats and Sage of 6 path’s Chakra, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, a 6 tomoe Rinnegan who can destroy a whole ass meteor with one arm and a base Chidori should be able to beat Madara.

The fact that there are even people saying that they ‘deserve better’ just proves my point. Never will I understand how anyone can genuinelly and actually say they ship these two?

First of all the Sharingan can literally predict, copy, and counter every move their oppenent does, but it can also spawn a giant ass beast-monster-armour-hybrid-thingy and burn you into oblivion. I personally think that being able to see 360 degrees and look at someone’s chakra pathways doesn’t really do much in a fight like that.

(This is all I can come up with at the moment but I’ll probably add more as life goes on)

2: Hinata is a trash character.

Why am I so tired of seeing homeless people all over the place?

1: Itachi was a terrible brother.

Hinata exists for only one reason and that is to say ‘Naruto-kun’ in a cute kawaii voice. She has absolutely no relevance to the story, has horrible writing and caused the death of an actually GOOD character just to bring her and the MC closer (which failed).

Naruto doesn’t have the saddest out of his own show let alone the Big 3, like people honestly think that being hated by your village compares to, I don’t know, having your entire clan die before your eyes over 500k times, have everyone close to you die one by your hand, watching your best friend accidently murder the person you love, be made into a weapon by your own father and abused and despised all your life and feared by your own siblings, be an oprhan living in war and having to kill your best friend to save your other one.

Why doesn’t the UK change their flag?

Even their CHILD has doubts about their relatioship, thinking that Sakura wasn’t even her real mother because of the fact that she has never seen Sakura and Sasuke together.

Sasuke practially guilt-tripped Sasuke into marrying her.

She literally made fun of someone for being an orphan in hops of impressiong him despite knowing h e ‘ s a l s o a n o r p h a n (nice rizzing skills, Sakura)

Hiruzen by no means was a good Hokage, in fact he was the worst, but the hate he gets in the fandom is seriously undeserved, like he couldn’t have prevented the Uchiha massacre and while I agree he should have punished Danzo for doing it without him knowing it just shows how irattingly soft his heart is, that being proven when he allowed Orochimaru to escape because he hoped one day he’d become who he once was before again.

Boruto says no, apparantly, and has him use his Rinnegan as a free uber and beef with dinosaurs instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

8: Sasuke deserved to have become a villain more than Naruto

What are some great short jokes?

Sakura was nothing short of obsessed with him and had no reason apart from ‘he is attractive’ to like him. Like at least Karin had an actual reason and wanted him to be happy. No matter how many times he called her annoying and rejected her she’d still push on.

One thing that can’t reach the heads of Ichitards is that intentions don’t change reality. Sure, Itachi saved Sasuke’s life, but that doesn’t exclude the trauma he put him through.

I know that Kakashi stated in the manga that the Byakugan beats the Sharingan, but come on, if you actually think about it then the Sharingan easily ovepowers it.

I will never get why Itachi didn’t tell Sasuke the truth. He wanted him to get stronger, but he could have simply just trained him. Instead he decided to control Sasuke’s life entirely, never letting him make his own move and manipulating him for more years than they lived together. He tortured and more or less mind raped him for over 3 days staight when he was 7 and then brutalised, humiliated and did so again when he was 12.

I love Naruto and he’s defintitely in my top 10 favourite characters, but bro someone please get a life and actually use their common sense when it comes to his sad-but-not-the-worst past.

He used him for his own suicide, staining his hands in blood and forcing him to turn mad and revenge-hungry for less compassionate reasons than Yahiko or Rin. I love Itachi and all, but his decisions were shitty and I think it would have been better for him to just stay as a psychopath older brother instead of some pacifist undercover-hero.

4: Theoretically Adult Sasuke beats Madara, but with what Boruto have done to him he doesn’t come close.

Also Naruto went crazy just by Orochimaru calling Sasuke ‘mine’ whereaas it took Jiraiya, Kakashi, the entire village’s, Tsunade and Sakura’s near ones and then finally Hinata’s to provoke the Kyubi. (Not YAOI, I just wanted to point out that Naruhina shippers are delusional).

Like I’m sorry but the first person Naruto lost was his 50 year old mentor when he was 16. He never had the grief of watching his family get slaughtered or being forced to kill your best friend, teammate or family (Sasuke 7, Nagato 12-14, Kakashi 13 and Itachi 13).

Naruto saved her life multiple times and yet she chose the person who tried to take it away also multiple times.

The only ‘romantic’ relationship between the pair of them was Sasuke doing the thing his BROTHER did to him to her.

When thinking he may die, he asked Naruto to take care of his kid, barely sparing a thought to his own said to be wife (again not Yaoi, just stating how the shippers are delu-lu)

3: The SasuSaku fandom is NOT overhated

This statement really should not be contriversial at all and yet here there are some people who are just like that. The Hidden Leaf Village manipulated Sasuke’s 13 year old brother into killing his entire family. They disliked Naruto.

My landlord just sold the house I’m renting from her. She included all fixtures, that I bought and installed. Does she have this right?

Yes, Hiruzan made some very shitty and questionable decisions, but damn y’all be acting as if he’s satan or some shit like that. He was the Hokage after a war and an attack which caused the death of hundreds of citizens including two of the strongst. You guys seriously expect him to have the time to go visit an orphan even if they are Minato’s son. Jiraiya, on the other hand, was off bathing with some ladies somewhere like what’s your excuse for that? Plus Hiruzen gave him money and a house, what did Jiraiya give him? A popsicle?

Second, an 8–13 Shisui and Itachi were able to beat a Hyuga who had a fully developed Byakugan with mild difficulty so that pretty much speaks for itself.

Now, I’m not one to compare trauma or anything; each character suffered respectably (with the exclusion of Sakura, of course) but when I see someone say that Naruto had the worst backstory in the whole of the Big 3 I actually feel a part of me dying.

Like I said before, you can choose who had more right -_-.

He also had friends (Shikamaru & Choji) someone who looked up to him (Konohomaru) and a father-figure (Iruka). His parents were killed when he was a baby, he remembers nothing.

6: Naruto’s past is overrated and over-saddened

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

So yeah, they wonder why I hate the ship and judge people for liking it.

5: The Sharingan > Byakugan

Sasuke would much rather spend time with Naruto and Boruto than Sakura and even Sarada to an extent.

They both tried to kill eachother more than once

Some people may argue she saved Naruto’s life in the Pain Arc, but since when does literally jumping to fight some one 10x stronger than you to impress your crush only to get your ass whooped and then die count as saving someone’s life? Literally had anyone else been the one Pain fought it would have earned the EXACT same reaction.

Their ‘love’ remained one-sided until like the last (canon) episode
