What I don't get out of all of this is just how many excuses they make for these characters being bad people.
I was recently pushed to a video by double4anime and basically in the video he talks about how Naruto has become such a horrible person and how his problems are not because of outside influence, but his own personal issues with his family and most of the comments are just random dribble of people just making excuse after excuse THey keep saying that change was inevitable and that he was never going to say the young naive kid that he was and how Naruto is so much smarter now. It is ridiculous.
Like, sure Naruto can change, but that doesn't mean he would change in a good way.
I can somehow understand a little bit why Naruto changed.
First of all he use Tajuu Kage Bunshin , to summon like a hundred of his clone to help the villager "EVERYDAY". As we already know when Naruto use that technique to learn RasenShuriken , how exhausted he is to the point he always pass out , just imagine he do that every single day without rest , how many citizen in Konoha need his help? maybe it's like running 24 hours nonstop for normal human everyday , can't imagine how exhausting that must be.
On top of that i think somewhere in the way , he realize he can't bring himself to love Hinata. Have you go through this ? there's a girl that really love you but you love someone else , but you feel bad for her and you decide to accept her love and trying to learn to love her along the way , but in the end you realize you can't. Adding into that , his own son resent/hate him , and then this one is my speculation/opinion , Naruto so far the way i see it kind of ..... avoiding Sakura (i might be wrong) it's weird he didn't help her with her financial problem , if this true it is understandable. It's just like .... imagine the girl you love married/taken by someone else and that man is your rival and best friend , of course you try to avoid her , it's painful to see her knowing that you are so close to her and yet so far. All this stress building up inside him , he can only rely on beer and ramen to relief that momentarily ... sad ....
