This is off topic to, but I haven't had a chance to say it.

WASSUP SHRINER!

My objections were definitely not elaborated either, I'm sure I could make an essay about it.

I do agree with the viewpoint that people will like or dislike a character based on how they themselves relate to them. Many people like Naruto because he shows good spirits and determination in life to keep going even when things are though, while they will put down Sasuke(and Sakura) for various reasons as everybody has heard them.

But my original point stands when it comes to bad storytelling. Everything that is needed to understand Sasuke is there, but people don't care to look for it BECAUSE they don't relate to Sasuke's struggle as they do with Naruto's, and that's partly because Kishimoto hasn't gone into Sasuke's state of mind as much as he had with Naruto's.

Though, I do agree that people should look harder, but most people reading the manga, a lot of things will just go over their head and understand the simpler stuff. Most forms or entertainment should be easy on the mind, and stories like this and any others have to be designed in a way that the story and background is spoonfed to the people. It is a manga targetted towards a young minded crowd.

Kishimoto's storytelling is horribly awful, and one can speculate on multiple things as to why that could be. Ranging from interference from editors and bosses to not exactly being able to "connect the dots" properly, or just plain bad ideas.

I could name many problems in the series, from Naruto's character development (or lack of) to how the Akatsuki members have been defeated, to lack of continuity with certain concepts.

Sasuke is a better and more interesting character in the entire series. What Kishi has done with Sasuke is pretty good. His fights are awesome, he has techniques that are awesome, he's not a one-dimensional character, he has depth in his character and one can feel it. A lot of people hate Sasuke for various reasons, but that's because people don't understand where his character is coming from, and that's because of bad storytelling. Naruto character is quite the opposite of what I said here.

The fighting in the series isn't good either. There seems to be little or no skill involved in defeating the enemy, or it's just outright unbelievable. Itachi died of a disease? Shikamaru beat Hidan, when he barely beat Tayuya? Kakuzu got tricked by Naruto, twice? Sasori is said to have taken down a village, but he got defeated by his old-old grandmother and Sakura? I don't even want mention Pain or Konan.

Then we have continuity issues in the series, or just bad timing with concepts. Kage Bunshin can transfer the memory of it's individual back to the user? There is a chakra elemental system? The Rasengan can kill someone anyway, as Jiraiya did with one of the pains, why is the Rasen-shuriken needed if the Rasengan can do it? I won't even go into the Sharingan, or even the Rinnegan? Why all these eye techniques? Why does the Sage of Six Paths have to have a doujutsu, why can't he just be a powerful warrior?

I'm only mentioning this in brief as I can elaborate, but it's pointless, mostly because it's not my series and also it's been said before. None of my complaining will change. The only thing I can do with my ideas is to write a fanfiction and post it up and offer it as an alternative course to the Naruto story, something people would like.

I still read the story though, for one reason only, and that's because I like the message he has in the story. Naruto won't give up on his friend, whereas everybody else has given up on Sasuke. He believes that Sasuke can still change, and that concept to me is what attracts me to reading the manga. Even though it's fictional, friendship like that isn't seen in today's world. I've only heard of a select few individuals who are like this and I deeply respect them.

I remember you, not sure if you remember me.

I also came back recently..............kind of, I'm just a ghost that comes and goes as he pleases.

Gauranga!

I'm here and there. I'm currently in New York, dunno how long I'll be here.

I have a huge desire to travel around, kinda like taking a journey to find my place in existence, you know, stuff like that
