So, we've washed the bones of all the main characters of the Founding era, so why not do the same, but with such minor characters that the only thing known from the canon is their names.
To your attention — Senju Butsuma and Uchiha Tajima.
Absolutely everyone is of the opinion that Butsuma is bad and Tajima is good. Why? Well, it's quite simple to understand why everyone dislikes Butsuma so much, manga helps us a lot in this matter.
Senju Butsuma is a malicious parent who does not hesitate to hit a child if he says something against, who considers it an honor to die in battle, despite the young age that one of his sons has reached.
That's all to say that he's bad, right?
You know, I'm of the opinion that holding a grudge against adults just because they're adults and they have to be able to do everything in the world, is a little wrong. I'll explain why! Tell me honestly, do you feel like an adult? Will you feel like that when you reach the age of twenty? At what point does a person become an adult at all? I'm not afraid to approach a stranger and ask for directions to some place, so I'm already a self-sufficient person to have finances and pay taxes?
I just want to say that it's pretty bad to look at Butsuma from one side, since we don't see everything. Yes, he's a disgusting parent. You can't beat children, no matter what. You can't order them to kill, no matter what.
On the other hand, it was considered the norm for the society of that time. However, I do not consider this an excuse.
All this text from above was that I agree with Naruto's fandom that Butsuma is not a very good father. But it's still funny to me to see how in fanfiction absolutely all mortal sins are attributed to him haha
However, I do not agree with the opinion that Uchiha Tajima is a good one. Either everyone decided this way because juxtaposition is the easiest method of perception, or because in the canon Tajima deigned to ask his son if they could defeat Hashirama. Seriously? Butsuma, for example, explained to his child why Uchiha are bad. Since when does ordinary conversation explain how good a person is at parenting?
Please don't think I'm being dismissive of Tajima, not at all. I just really don't like the baselessness that the opinion of his "goodness" has. Face it, most likely, both men are just disgusting people, far from tolerance and thoughts about the world.
Well, none of this prevents us from writing absolutely everything about them that we want in our fanfiction lol
