Things in Naruto that are not explained/barely touched upon which Pisses Me Off:
Iāve mentioned a few of these before but I thought I could make a bigger post abt it
- thatās it, basically. How do we not know how the (canonically) strongest shinobi, like, ever, died?? I think the only thing we DO know is that he died in the 1. War but thatās about it. I donāt get it, it wouldāve been SUCH a good plot line
- Iāve seen ppl say itās a fan theory that he got mokuton cancer or something? But idk I just wish we got an actual explanation in canon
Hashirama & Mitoās child(ren)
- on the topic of Hashirama, why donāt we get to know ANYTHING about his kid? We know he had at least one (Tsunade & Nawakiās parent) and we donāt even get a name. Come on, the kid of the first Hokage and Uzumaki fucking Mito?? I would actually pay to get a spin-off or smth about them. Wasted plot line imo
Where tf did the Senju go??
- thatās it basically. Fan theories Iāve heard is that either madara killed them somehow (which makes no sense) or that they intermarried so much with the āordinaryā people of Konoha that their clan disappeared, but I donāt believe there was only Tsunade left by the time canon came around
- We actually do get quite a lot of information about Uzushio in comparison, but I still wish we would have at least seen some of their culture or what it was like before the second war- Kishimoto rly just said: āoh yeah they were so powerful that iwa and Kiri needed to work together to kill themā and thatās it. I also think he should have expanded on Narutoās Uzumaki heritage more- we never see him attempt sealing in any way despite both his parents (and Jiraiya) being sealing prodigies, and Naruto with chakra chains would have been rly cool. Oh also I know itās not rly a planned plot hole but in my opinion it doesnāt make sense that Naruto was given his mothers surname instead of his fathers to hide his identity- arguably, being one of the last Uzumaki running around is bound to get him some unwanted attention. Additionally, itās rly not that hard to put two and two together when you knew the fourth Hokageās wife was an Uzumaki (also Naruto looks pretty similar to his dad as well) anyway Kishimoto probably didnāt plan this far ahead when he named Naruto, but it would have made more sense if he was just given no surname like a lot of other Naruto characters
Past Jinchuuriki & kage that arenāt from Konoha
- I know we see every kage from every nation at least once, but we basically still donāt know anything about them. Generally, we know how Konoha was formed and we know that every other hidden village was formed after, but we donāt know HOW. Were there clan feuds like in the land of fire?? We donāt KNOW. We donāt even know most of their names
Also, I DESPERATELY want to know what the first jinchuuriki were like. Apart from Konoha (and maybe kumo) we donāt know anything about them and itās just wasted potential imo (oh and that one old man from suna ig)
- I mean itās not reallyyyy a plot hole or something but I just rly like kiri and I wouldāve liked to see how exactly the revolution went- we only know that it happened sometime after Zabuzaās death but I want to knowwww :( give me the political intrigue Kishimoto
Mangetsu/seven ninja swordsmen
- again, not really something that wouldāve been necessary to know in Naruto but Kishimoto canāt just say āoh yeah this guy? He mastered every sing legendary sword thatās how good he isā and then just give us nothing. Mangetsu wasnāt even part of the swordsmen when Gaiās dad killed them, which means we donāt even know how he died. My guess is in the revolution, but we also donāt really know how Suigetsu ended up with Orochimaru when he grew up in Kiri
Oh and also it wouldāve been cool to know how the swords were even made
Asumaās sibling/konohamaruās parent
- I donāt get how we donāt know anything about the second kid of the fucking third Hokage. Like, at least give us a name and a face, Kishimoto, smh
Deidaraās kekkei genkai (???)
- itās a very very niche topic but I think it was mentioned that it was a kinjutsu that he stole and not a blood line limit? Anyway, what kind of freaky kinjutsu is that and what was Kishimoto smoking when he made that
Yugakure and the jashinists
- the plot line of a ninja village becoming useless because the main income of their nation is tourism is interesting enough as it is, but I wouldāve liked to know more about jashinism in itself and how Hidan even became part of it, or if there are even other jashinists around. Also it poses the question if there maybe really is a god in Naruto (besides kaguya wich is an alien) or if the immortality is a kekkei genkai/jutsu and jashin isnāt really responsible for that
The rest of team Tobirama
- essentially only Kakami & Torifu- Kagami is only mentioned as Shisuiās grandfather and the first (?) weirder of kotoamatsukami, but we donāt know how he died (or how Torifu died) and we donāt even know their relationship with Tobirama- it seems strange that Tobirama, who hated the Uchiha allegedly, would take on an Uchiha apprentice, and also why donāt we know anything about Torifu? He was also a student of Tobirama after all
The capital, non-ninja-villages, the whole system
- we know that shinobi services are paid and ninja villages receive money by the feudal lords (which live in the capital?) at least they were protected during the war and Zetsu even wanted to kind of kill them if I remember correctly, but how does the whole system even work? I donāt get it
Anyways that was a very long rant but I needed to get this off my chest and also a lot of these points are reasons behind why I wrote some of my fanfics. Itās been a while since I watched Naruto so mby I just forgot about some of these points, and I refuse to touch boruto so if anything is explained in there my bad (also I kind of donāt consider it canon so)
Anyway I might make a part 2 if I remember more things haha
