You know what I've noticed? Part 1

DO NOT INTERACT IF YOU ARE: Pro Hinata, Pro Konoha, Anti Neji

You know, there are 2 things I noticed from this picture:

It took 4, count them 4 jounin to pacify Neji. This to me, shows just how OP and dangerous the Hyuuga clan's kekkei genkai can be. Like do you see how they are holding him?! This is not "Now-now Neji, time to calm down~ uwu" nah this is police brutality pin this boy to the ground, levels. Like they were not being gentle nor holding back. And this is when Neji was a child. Keep that in mind too, imagine what would have happened if this scene played out and Neji was a teenager... Yeah no Hinata would have died. Point blank. The end.

2. The second thing I've noticed is the urgency in how fast they popped up. And here's why I'm bringing this up: Remember in the very beginning of the exams, they flat out told these genin "Yeah, yall might die so... Good luck! :D"? And do you remembered how in the forest of death, some people did in fact die and the adults didn't give a shit? And REMEMBER WHEN SASUKE AND GAARA NEARLY KILLED THEIR OPPONENTS IN THESE FIGHTS? Like... Sasuke nearly tore off a dude's arms, yet no one gave a shit. Gaara was ready to kill Lee on the spot right there, if Gai hadn't stepped in, it would have been the end for Lee and yet again No one gave a shit except for Gai. But when Hinata back talked Neji and Neji was about to crash out? It's code red, red alert, all hands on deck. Literally, no one gave a shit about any other fight, but when it was Hinata vs Neji? Suddenly they need to do something.

Now I this to me is a showcase of Hinata's role as heiress to the Hyuuga clan and what that title means to the village. To me, this is giving: bodyguards to the president's daughter vibes. And that is both interesting and sad because it means the Hyuugas have strong roots to Konoha that could rival the Senju, who were the founders (along with the Uchiha but they got treated like shit for no reason). That in my eyes, if something happened where Hinata did in fact die, Hiashi could raise hell and make it the village's problem. Which... Would be interesting tbh.

#A conversation about Naruto

So before I say this, I'm talking about the extremist in the fandom who don't know how to act and take things too far.

Dear SasuNaruSasu fandom,

People that don't like your ship are NOT HOMOPHOBIC!

Again

IF SOMEONE DOESN'T LIKE SNS, THAT DOES NOT MAKE THEM HOMOPHOBIC!

Seriously, stop saying that like, you're not allies to the MLM community just because you ship fictional men together. Idk who told you different but I'm here to break to yall.

Being homophobic is serious and needs to be treated as such. It for bigots who actively behave in wicked ways to ACTUAL GAY MEN. It is not for shipping discourse.

So please, stop doing this. It's 2026, learn to get over it. There are people who don't like SNS and there's nothing you can do about it. If they don't like your ship? Oh well, MOVE ON. Like you only make yourselves look like clowns when you do this, you're not gonna change their mind.

Boruto writers write filler episodes like they never read the manga at all seriously? The time travel arc was shit and completely inaccurate all of them weren’t that close to each other at all especially Neji and Hinata tf they think we don’t pay attention to details at all? 15 years for this shit goddamn

Boruto writers don’t care about accuracy, and neither do SS and NH stans lol. I did see many hate the time travel arc so that’s something.

ok I need to share this with someone or I'll combust. As an indigenous person with ancestors that faced war and genocide and then later on used by several empires as front line soldiers and crown guards I really feel Sasukes need to tear everything down. Like for the first time in anime I had found a character that reasonably represented my pent up feelings about the injustice we faced. There is nothing left I can call a homeland so I get Sasuke and am pissed about how he turned soft at the end

Thank you and thanks for sharing your story! Yes it’s really annoying how people ignore the circumstances of Sasuke because genocide is a very specific trauma and it’s hard to understand his feelings if one hasn’t gone through the same, but person could still try to understand how severe his loss is and how one doesn’t just “get over it”. They also focus on his revenge towards the village despite never even going through with it and instead helping the village despite having no obligation to do so. I doubt many would do as much.

Boruto clearly wasn’t planned but pushed because of money, so I just try to ignore it especially since everyone is so ooc. But yeah I’m not planning to go anywhere, apologies to my haters!

Rarepair Session Part 1: Naruto x Ino

Welcome to the first part of ship talks, where I talk about different rarepairs! Today's pair is Naruto x Ino.

NaruIno is an interesting ship, because in my opinion it runs parallel with NaruSaku. Now before the NaruSaku fandom burns me at the steak here me out: Yes Sakura and Ino do have similar personality traits and tropes, but they are obviously different. As such, NaruIno is still going to be different from NaruSaku.

Ino for one thing, is excellent at supporting others. Sure Sakura has her moments as well, but Ino thrives and excels at it more. Remember, it was Ino who reminded Sakura not to give up on Naruto during his fight against Neji. And there are moments in filler episodes of Ino having good repor with Naruto. So the possibility was there.

Also Ino isn't a slouch in the romance department. When she loves, she loves hard and she would definitely love Naruto with all her heart as his wife. She also wouldn't let him slack off in his duties because as I said prior, she's excellent at support and uplifting others. I can see them being a dynamic duo handling the affairs of Konoha together.

It should also be said that the idea of the two blondes hooking up also plays into the ship's popularity. But when you look into it, it's actually not a bad ship platonic or romantic.

NaruIno get's an A or my ship rating!

Funny how Naruto can have chemistry with almost everyone in Konoha including filler characters in movies but has -500% chemistry with his wife

Depends on what you mean with “chemistry”. But he certainly gives more attention to multiple characters before Hinata. He doesn’t even seek Hinata’s company on his own and people seriously try to convince themselves he’s in love with her. I don’t know if people are aware but if you’r in love with someone you tend to think about them and want to spend time with them.

im angry abt karin again

luckgandor-remaking-deactivated

kishimoto really did go and create a teenage girl with serious childhood sexual trauma and then play off her hypersexuality and coping for laughs didn’t he

he really did create a character who had been disgustingly violated throughout her childhood and then end her story with her back in the employment of the man who abused her didn’t he

luckgandor-remaking-deactivated

karin is 16 at her introduction, and has been bitten so many times that almost all of the skin we see has bite mark scars, INCLUDING her breasts, and she explicitly states that sasuke is the only person she trusts using her chakra, and orochimaru talks about ~studying~ her body and she’s gone thru so much and she has so much unresolved trauma and literally sasuke is the only person she trusts because he was the only person to show her kindness when they were little and kishimoto just crushes her over and over again and forces her to befriend a woman who doesn’t give a shit about her and she’s so self-sacrificing and yet never rewarded and all her trauma is never addressed and she’s stuck back with the man who abused her and i’m gonna beat kishimoto’s ass

luckgandor-remaking-deactivated

she and sasuke are given a deep, trusting relationship where sasuke explictly states that he needs her, where she’s regarded as his favourite, where it’s established that in his eyes she’s the strongest woman alive, and then kishimoto pretty much threw this all away and almost killed her off for more uchiha drama + a shitty unstable toxic marriage that served no purpose other than again creating more uchiha drama and satiating insane fans

Tobirama, the Scientist.

I saw not long ago a particularly interesting post, it claimed Tobirama’s theories about the Uchiha were “biased headcanons,” but didn’t expand further (in all fairness it didn’t need to, the phrase summarized his approach quite beautifully) I chuckled, because the claim can’t be more truthful, but wasn’t able to re-blog it with a little bit of my input.

In that sense, I would like to discuss -shortly, Tobirama's status as an “Academic”, a title with which this fandom continues to associate him, and that viewed from a current perspective carries with it the notion that all his theories have scientific support and evidence-based on his research, and not on his personal beliefs.

I'm not here to dispute the idea that he was a Scientist. If that's how his fandom wants to call him, then, by all means, they're free to do so. What I'm here for is to discuss the status that the title gives him.

Being an intellectual in the Narutoverse or the real world does not automatically transform the individual to whom the title was bestowed upon into a higher entity. Under that premise, my degree puts me at a higher level of analysis, a thing that probably many fans of various characters I critique would be quick to deny.

So let's break this down:

Intellectuals/Scientists are not exempt from incorporating their prejudices/personal experiences into their theories.

On many occasions, the "deconstruction" they submit themselves to (if they even go through the trouble of performing an internal introspection to take into account their apprehensions before embarking on an investigation) does not guarantee a completely neutral look. And even if the work is to be believed as "neutral", it is always (always) necessary to review or discuss such theories with people who belong to different “cultural bubbles” that might be able to notice if an analysis has been influenced by the cultural, social, and economic barrier to which the author belongs.

[How many times have we mentioned how the medical study of human beings used to be (and hell, might still be) subjected to a patriarchal prejudice that placed women as biologically inferior to men? How many papers were elevated stating that the sexual organ with which a person is born determines their gender?]

Intellectuals aren’t exempt from allowing their personal beliefs to rule their works, furthermore, many times their personal bias is the primary reason for them to investigate a subject: They can go out of their way to prove how their prejudices are right while discarding/twisting any information that doesn’t back up their claims.

Intellectuals are capable of concocting a theory against a marginalized group if they work alongside people in power.

Or if they are the ones actually in power, they're able to present fake evidence to support such bigotry (if they even bother of making it look “professional”).

Let's look through another work of fiction as an example of what I'm trying to convey: Shakespeare in “The Tempest” -a play written in between the years 1610 and 1611- introduced three characters that represented important spheres of colonialism: The colonizer (Próspero, he arrived at the island, imprisoned the former leader of the place, and enslaved the population), The Intellectual (Ariel, he also subjected to the will of the colonizer, but instead of revolting, leaves his knowledge/powers at the disposal of his subjugator as to obtain a benefit) and The Slave (Caliban, native of the island who was enslaved by Próspero and is also subdued by Ariel).

Ariel, much like Caliban, has no real political power, but he has tools to help the colonizer, and in order to buy his freedom, he’s willing to work with the tyrant and become the oppressor of another subjugated group that he also considers inferior. This case specifically is far more fitting to Kagami, Shisui, and particularly Itachi's characters as they too, suffered (internalized and naturalized) discrimination in as a consequt of their gifts. However, they believed themselves superior to the rest of their kin as they subscribed to Tobirama's doctrine, hence, why it was so easy for them to work for Konoha and against their family.

Tobirama, unlike the rest of them, is far more similar to Próspero in this regard as he not only never faced discrimination in regard to his nature (furthermore, his experiments with human beings were easily forgotten and swept under the rug as he meant well), but also built and systematized the political structure that gave substance to his ethnic prejudices.

Intellectuals played a big part in the colonization of entire cultures, they were the ones who helped promote the idea of barbarism vs. civilization in order to put a country/society above others and allow those in power to steal natural resources and enslave native people.

In the Narutoverse, Tobirama was in a position of power when he “studied” and disseminated the rumor (that, later on, became an actual scientific theory, way to go) that the Uchiha were subjected to their emotions (particularly, negative emotions) and therefore, were untrustworthy and unfit to rule.

The only thing to back up his hypothesis is what he learned about the Sharingan's progression, and this, while not canonically proven, was a discovery made likely after this specific conversation, as he had no access to Uchiha's bodies to study them before. Regardless, even if the Doujutsu does develop and evolve because of the user’s emotions, to plead that none of the (natural) users would be able to control their (emotionally driven) actions by only that premise is nonsensical:

The number of times we saw non-Uchiha characters perform emotionally-driven actions (Sakura choosing to kill Sasuke and knocking off her comrades in a foreign land, Naruto becoming so distressed over Pein's attack on Konoha and Hinata that he lost total control of his tailed beast, Hinata jumping in to commit suicide in front of Naruto, and so on) is a clear indication that feelings influence the behavior of every human being -not just a specific group.

Furthermore, Tobirama created rules forbidding showing emotions during missions because of that specific reason, so his COH's theory was more about ensuring his control over the Uchiha emotions to profit from them (meaning, he ensured his position as the leader that was capable to "think for them" because they were unreliable) because he was aware that the members of that clan were less inclined to blindly follow him (giving their history) and jeopardize their entire wellbeing without explanations first, and he wasn't willing to treat them as equals and disclose the reasoning behind his actions.

[And here I'll add this: Fictional universes are indeed ruled by their made-up premises, so it can be very plausible to find fictional works where certain characters are ruled by their ("evil" or "good") biological characteristics.

However, that particular argument that many people use in Tobirama's favor collapses under the weight of the own narrative that displays instances of people "subjected to the Curse of Hatred" being in control of their emotions (Itachi, Shisui, Madara after Izuna's death), and taking rational (logical by the narrative's premise, that is) decisions.

In the same manner, it also shows the exploitation of those “raw emotions” to benefit a particular character (Hashirama when Madara’s love for him helped him to build Konohagakure) or Konoha’s favor (Hashirama sending Madara to different meetings as a representative); so in the end, the problem isn’t the characters having those emotions, but demanding agency over them.

Several characters stood against the Curse of Hatred's premise, including people who cared not for Konoha or the Uchiha clan in itself (why would Orochimaru, who by all means despised Konoha and was only interested in the Uchiha clan for the Sharingan, contradict the Sandaime if what the former said as irrevocably truth was, indeed, plausible?)

How come there were Uchiha members that were, according to Tobirama, loyal to Konoha and not entirely subjected to the COH? Here's the thing, the COH isn't about the existence of emotions, but about who owns them (are they at the service of the individual to whom they belong, or are they for Konoha's benefit?). How come the Sharingan is fueled by the user's emotions, therefore becoming the driven force of that individual's actions, yet particular characters fight against those feelings in order to perform "the greater good"?. Genetic predisposition can't be altered with an ideological disposition.

If the COH's theory sustains itself by how the Sharingan is developed, why are Uchiha members that possess no Sharingan (therefore, no emotional-influenced chakra) considered to be under that influence as well?

As Tobirama's legacy, we have two different approaches to reach the same goal that branches themselves from the COH's theory:

Danzo, who took Tobirama's teachings and concluded that emotions were too volatile and hard to control as to ensure absolute loyalty to Konoha, therefore creating Root -whose premise was, basically, "no emotions allowed". He took kids away from their families (or he specifically looked for orphans with no important background) and stripped them from their identities to train them to become the "ultimate weapon". That is, disposable tools that work solely for Konoha's benefit without the prospect of any retribution nor emotional bonds to prevent the possibility of someone becoming more important than the village. The latter point is also interesting if we think why would Danzo be so concerned about emotional bonds or reactions by non-Uchiha people blinding their loyalty to Root and/or Konoha if the COH was biologically tied to a specific clan? Wouldn't that mean that people being ruled by emotions are, instead of a genetic predisposition of a specific group, a very human response to traumatic events?

Hiruzen, who unlike Danzo was more inclined about exploiting people's bonds and emotions in order to tie them to Konoha rather than a person/clan; basically constructing Konoha as a symbol that encompasses those who are dear to the shinobi, creating a nationalistic mindset where family=village. Therefore, if Konoha (symbol) isn't as important as a specific group/person, then you're against the village as a whole. It's a Them vs. Us clash that ultimately benefits the system as it currently is since any criticism can be taken as subversion. And again, it also contradicts the theory as it's rawly presented, since Hiruzen isn't against those emotions existing, but to whom or what they are subjected to: The individual or the village.]

If the fear of people’s natures being easily controlled by their “special techniques” is so vast as to marginalize an entire group, then how come Naruto’s wish to become Hokage -a Jinchuriki, a tailed beast that canonically influences Naruto’s mood and whose power also can go loose should Naruto get stressed enough-, doesn’t raise any eyebrows? How come Naruto is given a chance because he can learn to “control the beast”, but an Uchiha can’t be taught how to “control his emotions”?

(Naruto wasn't marginalized in the same manner the Uchiha were, which it isn't to say he wasn't discriminated against at all: Mito wasn't discriminated against because she had Kurama as wasn't Kushina. Naruto was pushed aside because Kurama killed many people during his birth and the survivors associated the tailed beast with its vessel, they merged them into a single entity. Before that, Jinchurikis weren't discriminated against because of their nature, while the Uchiha were always segregated.)

There is a preface to the treatment received by the Uchiha from Tobirama and his allies as early as the first arc of Naruto: Haku, belonging to the Yuki clan, explains that the Kekkei Genkai are both revered and feared due to their destructive capabilities (the same is not true for secret techniques since these can be learned, whereas the Kekkei Genkai depend on biological issues beyond the control of the individuals).

It's stated that most shinobi villages used Konoha's bureaucratic structure as a basis to develop their own, which further proves that Tobirama's bias was ingrained inside the village's bureaucratic structure that will be later on replicated by almost everyone else (it's also mentioned that this cleansing is "generationally old", which means that while Obito controlled the Kage's tailed beast to carry out the cleansing, such massacre had already been grooming).

The governments wanted both to have full control of such weapons and to destroy those that could become a threat; Tobirama's segregation of the Uchiha was much more driven by his fear of the Sharingan's powers, the little control he had over the individual members of the clan and likely the learned animosity he later on kept developing during their battles.

Regardless of the many plot holes his theory possessed, people were quick to believe Tobirama because he was both in power (he could have silenced detractors), and he was an “intellectual”, meaning, he had both political and academic status.

But, if the theory that was literally the basis used to discriminate an entire group was able to survive as long as it did (and it still does, to this day) solely because the one who invented it possessed the academic status to be taken seriously, doesn’t that mean that the prestige the title gives should be questioned?

What are Naruto’s character flaws in Part 2 ? Did even growth at all during the timeskip or did he get worser ?

Naruto did not develop much after the first part, most of his characterization was based on his impulsive, reckless attitude that was shown to us before the time-jump, but little did they try to establish a more mature Naruto in Shippuden. After the time-skip, the first thing Naruto -actively- does is spar with Kakashi alongside Sakura, there’s nothing there that show us some growth in his behavior (or what humor is) when talking to Konohamaru, and his feelings for Sakura hadn’t changed (still in love with her and asking her on dates despite not seeing her for two years). His tactic to defeat Kakashi is effective, but little have to do with maturity, I know it was planned more for comedy purposes, but it still establishes a Naruto that differs from his former version only by his design, and little bit at that.

During the Gaara’s Retrieval Arc, we again see a reckless Naruto that jeopardizes the mission on occasion in order to get to Gaara, his heart is in the right place, and we already saw how Naruto feels about jinchurikis during the first part. This arc seemed to be more about establishing three things: Gaara’s position of power -despite his tailed beast, which introduces the idea of Naruto having a possibility of getting the position-, Naruto and Gaara’s friendship (and hence, Suna and Konoha), and Suna’s relationship with their Kazekage. Chiyo’s character was presented to serve as the “old vision” of the jinchurikis, being antagonistic to Naruto’s views but ultimately changing thanks to “our hero” and sacrificing herself for Gaara, and to be the second mentor to Sakura to show her development in other circumstances that aren’t sparing with her former teacher.

With that, Naruto’s characterization in the second part has been established, his reaction to Sai’s enlistment in team 7 as Sasuke’s replacement differs nothing to how he would have reacted during the first part. It could be said that two years are short to change a person’s personality, but Naruto’s development hasn’t moved nor forward or backward, it’s stanked in what seemed to be the most highlighted traits of his personality and the ones the fans recognized him for the most.

There was an attempt to establish a more mature, more in-depth Naruto during the Pain Arc and later on with the Dark Naruto, but little did succeed, quite the contrary. They tried to show the mature way in which Naruto handled a situation that at another time would have caused another reaction on his part, but the resolution was pure nonsense and their attempt relied on the destruction of a deeper, smarter character like Pain. Naruto “changed” Pain’s view of the world because he quoted a phrase from the book Jiraiya wrote that was inspired by something Nagato said as a child, and that was pretty much it. The reply to the question Pain asked (how would you face this hatred [the world’s hatred, their desire to revenge those who were killed] in order to build peace?), was:

“I believe in what Jiraiya did”.

There was no depth in that response, there was no argument against what Pain believed in, there was nothing that put Naruto above Pain or showed him to have grown enough to reason with him on the same moral or intellectual level. In that sense there was no growth, Naruto responded that he believed in what his former sensei did, which was already established before, the fact that Konoha was the responsible for the despair of small countries like Nagato’s is completely overlooked in that moment not to be addressed again during their meeting.

Here’s the thing that differentiates Pain or even Sasuke from Naruto: Their traumas. I’m not trying to diminish Naruto’s feelings about the things that happened to him, but everything that was thrown his way was quickly overcome and had little effect on his actions later on. We start the series by knowing that Naruto was an outcast and was despised by the village for things he couldn’t control, like the Kyuubi being sealed on him when he was born, and that he didn’t know who his parents were -hence, his identity, which is something a dictatorial system does, did, and will do and there are no red flags there for the fandom?-. His personality, a loud boy that tried to get everyone’s attention, was explained by those reasons. He was desperately trying to get some control over what was happening around him, he was trying to get whatever acknowledgment he could (whether it was good or bad). His goal and dream, becoming the Hokage, was explained by that same desolation and loneliness, since becoming the ultimate leader of his village would guarantee everyone’s respect, or at least, acknowledgment. During the first part, that worked.

Throughout the series, they wanted us to believe that the dream that began with the simple desire to be loved by his own people morphed into something even deeper when Naruto gains knowledge of the shortcomings of the system and wants to modify them, but that reason falls flat when Naruto doesn’t acknowledge Konoha’s responsibilities, nor on other countries’ miseries, nor in the slaughter of their own people (UCM) during the second part. Losing Jiraiya presented another trauma for Naruto, since it was the first time a person he “truly” bonded with and represented the grandparent figure -being the official connection with his parents- died during combat, but that trauma is “resolved” and never brought back after Pain’s Arc.

Naruto never overcomes his main trauma. He never overcomes the need to be loved and acknowledged, the “trauma” is resolved when he’s considered a hero for the same people that despised him and suddenly, since he can control Kurama and is the weapon he was intended to be from the very beginning, he’s not that bad. The “Dark Naruto” that was introduced to show us how Naruto grew from being the boy that was impulsed by the hatred he felt for the rest of the villagers to the man that forgave them for what they did, translates more accurately as the transformation of the “boy who wanted to be acknowledged and did everything to show he was worth it” to the “man who will do anything to show them they weren’t wrong about trusting him”.

There’s no morph in his dream or ideals. He’s still dependable on the views others have of him, on his “usefulness”, during Shippuden, rather than overcome it, the need deepens, which is the major modifier of his character. Sasuke went from wanting to kill Itachi to revenge his clan, to understanding that there was a system that cemented the basis of the coup and allowed, encouraged, and covered the Uchiha massacre; so he went from wanting to kill a man, to want to take down the system that put him in that position to begin with (Itachi is a more complex character so I’m not going to enter in that area now). Nagato witnessed the killing of his parents at the hands of Konoha shinobi -the country that started the war in the first place-, and Yahiko later on by Hanzo -helped by Danzo-, and went from wanting to bring peace without the use of brute force (Jiraiya and Yahiko’s view), to achieve peace through justice (stripping the countries of their most powerful weapons to control the system and bring it down). Naruto went from wanting to be Hokage to be loved, to wanting to be Hokage to bring peace, but without acknowledging or trying to understand and offer solutions to the problems presented by the two most important characters to the plot (Pain and Sasuke) there was no solid base to build that peace, it would be, at best, temporary.

His idea of peace is exactly the same that Nagato saw was fruitless, and there’s nothing a single Hokage can do to change the shinobi political bureaucracy around the globe, convincing the present leader of a village does exactly nothing when the system they have to move around is the exact same that it was since the clan wars, and that’s the sole problem if we are kind enough to believe everyone will listen and act as Naruto wants. The idea of the Chain of Hatred that was the basis of Pain’s beliefs was offered no response by Naruto or his ideals, while Sasuke acknowledged the problem and suggested that the solution was for everyone to focus their hatred on just one person (himself), and start all over again, without ties to that oppressive past. Naruto replied exactly nothing to that issue, and once Pain died, he cared no more about it. Not only that, but the only time it was brought up again was when Karui physically assaulted him because of Sasuke’s actions against her sensei. Naruto single-handedly decided that he deserved to be the one to receive the hatred of everyone in order to stop the “Chain of Hatred”, a solution almost identical to the one presented by Pain and Sasuke, but when fighting Sasuke during the final arc he condemned the idea of a single person carrying that weight. The contradiction of his statement a few Arcs before being beaten up for Sasuke is completely irrational writing-wise.

Sasuke grew from his hatred and wanted a revolution, Naruto did not. His characterization wasn’t allowed to become “somber” because that will shatter the reason fans were so enamored with him, will ultimately destroy the fandom’s idea of their “golden, relatable boy”. Naruto is the exact opposite of his rival, not only on his ideals but also in personality and design, if Sasuke is the one who represents the most “radical” responses and embodies a stoic personality, Naruto has to be the opposite, particularly in Shippuden when we see how Sasuke’s beliefs morphed into something entirely new.

There’s not a significant change in Naruto because he doesn’t need to, his traumas are brushed aside because people started to like him, so the reason why they hated him in the first place stopped being important and it became what gave him enough strength to become remarkable and to be relied on during the war. The system that tortured him and used him as a weapon now pats him on the back, calls him a hero, and puts Sasuke down (the one who used to be loved when he was functional to them), so now Naruto feels accepted and beliefs himself to be the one morally capable of “accepting” others into that system. Destroying it will mean questioning that “meritocracy” that put him there in the first place, because he played by its rules and it paid off, so the others should too, no matter how unfair it is.
