Thinking of it that way, I suppose you are correct. Hashirama made mistakes, no doubt. I won't deny that. The thing is, though, that his mistakes are somehow more justifiable than everyone else's for some bizarre reason. I like to think that's because literally everyone that has been in a position of power in this manga has made obvious errors. No one is the ideal. But Hashirama comes close. That's the point I'm trying to make here. Being half asleep isn't helping, I guess.
Anyway, yeah. But I see something here. Naruto has become Hashi 1.2. Not 2.0. He's literally the same in terms of what he believes. And he hasn't developed much in a while. I think there's something there. He might lose some of his idealism (it's bound to happen sooner or later). Maybe he WILL have some revelation or something apparently profound that I'm not awake enough to think of now. Just a thought.
