And I thought I hated her in this chapter already... This is exactly right. Stop, not because its wrong, or because this hurts to watch, but because I love you you emo avenger. We can't be together if you're evil. (Who's Karin? Never heard of her.) God. Like is being the boyfriend of a girl he always disliked going to just cleanse his heart? WTF Sakura. Right in front of Naruto, too. I bet Hinata never looked more attractive to him than in that moment.
That's what the SS fans and Kishimoto kind of think. "She cleansed and put meaning into his lonely heart." I wish I was joking. So Naruto didn't ease Sasuke's lonliness...like Sasuke said himself in the last 10 chapters of the manga....it was SAKURA who eased his lonely heart. Oh boy, what was I thinking? And here I thought Naruto and Sasuke were brothers or something....my mistake. *sarcasm*
Fanfic Naruto has it the worst. They have him getting crucified at the age of like, 2. Then when he grows into an actual ninja, he just lets the villagers beat him up for no reason, instead of running away or knocking them out harmlessly which he could easily do. Or just make a bunch of clones and get lost in them.
I even read one where he allowed a group of burly men to literally rape him without fighting back, even though he was already an experienced ninja, just because it would be immoral to fight back against untrained villagers. So kittening stupid.
Of course all this stuff does no permanent damage, and he's later sent away and trained by a mysterious sensei, often from a different series, and he comes back and acts like a tres cool give no cares badass towards all the villagers. And then gets a harem. Which usually doesn't include Sakura because she already got killed off making a total ass of herself by trying to kill Naruto for bringing Sasuke back with minor injuries, or something equally ridiculous.
I remember reading that one as well back in the day! True it may not be Kishimoto's work, but my god...it was fanfics like that that made me fearful of the Naruto fandom in general. They went into some dark places.
There was one I even saw that had Itachi and Sasuke having an incest after Itachi raped Sasuke for many weeks.
These.....are really disturbing. I wish Steve, aka lkmngh, was here. He had a link to a funny read about Naruto that covered this on said fanfic sight...Hey, Steve. If you are reasing this, can you post it? I know we had it on a podcast once, but I can;t remember which one.
