#like obviously theres others tuff.......... duh

[hanarutos]

kinda wanna rewrite my essay on how boruto is the root of all narrative failings in naruto 

#like obviously theres others tuff.......... duh #but i think if boruto didnt exist itd be al ot easier to accept narutos other narrative failings #like.... the story sets up naruto to be a revolutionairy. i think we forget that cuz boruto shows him so clearly not being that that #and also bc his methods are a lot less violent than sasukes #or his. hypothetical methods. we dont see him do anything lol #but like....naruto suffered at the hands of the systems in power and was very much aware of that and wanted to chagne things #thats like the whole conclusion of the pein arc #and also even in the war arc....even when it sucks iirc its about naruto being like word...madaras right shit sucks this just isnt the way #to fix things #dont qutote me on that i barely retain the war arc tho lol #and like 698 has sasuke being like kms and naruto being like no #live with me and we will fix the world together! #naruto is aware of how cruelty affects sasuke and gaara and just denies it towards himself #and like.....ok yes theres some shit like when naruto is down with itachis brainwashing sasuke (????) #but thats post waterfall of truth so *ignores it* my oint is overall naruto still clearly understood #that the shinobi system was evil #minato himself said the root of all suffering is the shinobi system lol #so it makes.........no sense naruto #the first persont o question the system =looong before sasuke in land of the waves #doesnt...do anything. #like all signs point to him doing something #and all early naruto sigsn point to him hating itachi and shit #cuz even if naruto cant accept ppl who hurt him dont deserve forgiveness #he is great at being mad on the behalf of others #so. #if boruto didnt exist and actively show #orochimaru alive #naruto covering up the massacre (??? i think he did get danzou exposed as evil but not the massacre idc about boruto) #and child soldiers still existing.....I WOULDNT HAVE TO HEAR BOOTLICKER NARUTO JOKES!
