I notice a lot of people complain over the years (long before the ending) about Naruto magic speech that turns people lives around and make them his friends. This thing is the speech is normally just one part of it normally the capstone to finish off a whole argument during and often before their fight. Normally a cynical person that has given up hope lectures/rants about it and thinks little of Naruto while doing so. Then Naruto often not always fights said person making a comeback at their lecturing that don't really work till after they are beaten. Then after they are beaten talk no jutsu.
Here a list of Talk-no-Jutsu speeches from what I recall:
Konohamaru. Was upset of living in the shadow of his grandfather. He constantly tried to "ambush" his Grandfather in hopes that if he defeated his Grandfather he would become Hokage, and then everyone would have to acknowledge him. Wanted to use the sexy jutsu to do so because he saw that it knocked out his grandfather.
Naruto hearing this after teaching him the sexy jutsu: "You can't become Hokage just like by defeating his grandfather and it won't make people acknowledge him like he hopes. That it takes a lot of hard work to become hokage. Also, you'd would have to defeat me because I'm also trying to become Hokage."
Then he used the harem jutsu to knock out Ebisu which impress konohamaru who then declared him his rival.
Zabuza: Thought Naruto was a dumb brat (granted that pretty much everyone after him as well.) After Haku was dead and Gato cancelled the hit on Tazuna he treated everything as done and his business was concluded. Also stating Haku meant nothing to him more then a useful tool to be used and discarded like all ninja. Even after Gato kicked Haku's corpse.
Naruto: "Haku loved you! You were everything to him! And you act like he was nothing! If that what being a true ninja is I hope I never become one."
Zabuza cries admitting he did love Haku. Then goes off on a suicided run to kill Gato.
Neji: His backstory. Goes on and on about all fate is predetermined and there is nothing anyone can do to change it. Loser will always be loser so they should even try. After defeated compliments Naruto's mastery of the cloning technique.
Naruto: "I failed the academy final exam three times each time it was the clone jutsu. I changed my fate why can't you since you are a genius unlike me."
Afterwards he learns the truth of his father's death, his last testament, and an apology all from His Uncle the Clan Head. Gives hope a shot.
Gaara: Spend the arc killing random people. Eventually admits he feels empty because no one loves him. So since he is a demon the can love only itself and no one can love; he decides to kill people to prove his existence. After they had both worn out from their fight Naruto uses he chin to slowly edge himself to Gaara to finishes him off to save Sakura.
Tsunade: Depressed and traumatized after the death of her fiancé and brother. Both who wanted to become hokage. Thinks becoming hokage is a pointless fools games since everyone who either tries or becomes one ends up dead. Makes a bet with Naruto to see if he can master the rasengan in a week while contemplating killing both him and Jiraiya to revive her fiancé and brother.
Naruto blocks an attack from Kabuto with his hand. "I will become hokage." While healing him. "Looks like I won the bet."
Tsunade becomes hokage and clearly wants to hold that position until she thinks Naruto is ready to take on the role.
Chiyo: Was the person who put the one tail inside Gaara. Feels guilt about that and her Grandson Sasori actions. Distrust the Sand's Leaf ninja allies
Naruto: "Shut Up! What do you know about Gaara suffering?! Did you ever ask? He died because you made him the one tail container, even though he was your Kazekage you treat him like her was nothing more then a weapon with a fancy name!"
Granted this is more Naruto venting about how much he hates the containers situations. Chiyo does die to revive Gaara.
Sai: Suppressing his emotions after his brother's death to be the perfect root ninja. Also an ass. Confuse why Naruto cares so much about a traitor. Naruto reminds him of his brother.
Naruto: Honestly, from what I recall, a creepy speech about how he will never give up on Sasuke.
Sai regains some emotions, finishes his artbook about him & his brother and wants to stick around Naruto to learn more about feelings by observing team 7. Still an ass.
Pein: Best Friend died so he decides to enact some crazy plan about making some super weapon to force world peace. Questions Naruto as he is also a student of Jiraiya on how he would end the cycle of hatred and bring peace to the world?
Naruto from what I recall, brings out jiraiya's book mentions that it was dedicated to Nagato as well as saying he won't give up and he will bring about peace.
Nagato regains hope after remembering Jiraiya writing that book, and decides to sacrifice himself to revive the people he killed.
Obito: Went crazy after Rin died, decides to go along with Madara's crazy plan. Spends a lot of time trying to convince Naruto to give up and embrace the plan.
Naruto once learning about Rin in that mental plane. "You're not no one, you are Obito. You were once a lot like me with all the same hopes and dreams. You know what your doing is wrong. As much as you like to talk, you can't abandon the memories of your team, can you? Stop running away and come back to the village."
Obito remembers Rin and loses control of the tug of war. Tries to revive all the people he killed. Failed due to Zetsu. Works with team 7 form then on.
Can I ignore all the speeches to Sasuke? Nothing seem to work until the blood loss of losing an arm seemed to work anyhow.
Thoughts?
Personally most of them work in of themselves. The only problem is Naruto never really seems to evolve beyond don't give up if he is not just chewing them out; besides Obito's.
