Rewatching Naruto as an adult and noticing:
1. That Konoha, and the other shinobi villages, when you think about it are pretty much military dictatorships.
2. As much the Itachi plot twist is good as fuck, sasuke is still a mentally unstable person who actually needed psychological support and not a marriage, especially with an equally emotional wreak of a wife. The same goes for Naruto.
3. Speaking of the Uchiha, they weren’t exactly marginalized as they say, I mean, they were the military police force of Konoha
4. Is no one gonna address the Uzumaki genocide/diaspora??
5. Is actually very comprehensive Naruto being a disaster of a father, he never had a consistent father figure in his life. Iruka may have tried, but he couldn’t be all the time for him.
6. I still fail to see why the story needed the aliens
7. Kaguya is a pretty lame final boss. Madara was the perfect flawed villain the story needed.
8. Of all of the main Uchihas, Obito has the most interesting arc (i’m sorry Itachi, but since the revealing of the plot twist his arc only became about this)
9. There’s no way Suna accepted Gaara as the Kazekage in a 3 year gap after passing the last 11 years witnessing a psychotic rampage throughout the village. The only logical explanation I have for this is that deep down the Kazekage is a hereditary position.
10. Naruto was just ideological blinded as Sasuke, to the point he was willing to risk other people’s life, but since he was (mostly) on Konoha’s side the story doesn’t show him like that. Of course, that doesn’t excuse the terrorist acts Sasuke made.
11. I still cannot accept the fact that the it was never explained who took care of Naruto when he was born.
12. It’s also pretty sad that we never got to see what a child between an Uchiha and a Hyuuga would look like
