>I will prove to you that your destiny is not predetermined Neji! I will become hokage! Yes, me! The nepo baby of the 4th hokage and a member of the elite ninja clan descendent from the first hokage! And also a junchuriki with the most powerful tailed beast! It would be completely unrealistic for someone like me to become hokage, but I will do it anyway!

I mean, Naruto wanted to be hokage because he thought that would bring him respect and recognition from his village, not that he would be the most powerful ninja.
Naruto never said destiny wasn’t real, just that you shouldn’t let the cards your dealt define you. Naruto could’ve turned evil like Nagato and Obito but didn’t. Neiji after this learns the truth about his father and it changes his views.
>being too stupid for a battle shonen
>Naruto could’ve turned evil
he objectively created much more suffering by stopping madara's plan. He was selfish and evil, because he wanted to be hokage and rule over others.
How long can people realistically be in tsukuyomi for? Will they eventually starve to death? If everyone is trapped, then what happens when no one is reproducing and the human race just goes extinct in 50 years?
The plan is a short-term bliss with far-reaching consequences that Naruto knew would not be worth.
Everyone in the IT was gonna get turned into White Zetsu’s because of the great tree
Personally, I’d rather deal with everyday bullshit over getting to experience my wildest dreams for a bit, but then get turned into a gay albino tree man after a month
Neji's destiny was to die for the main clan like his father and he did that. Naruto's destiny was to be a great hero and he did that. They are both defined by their destiny.
that's asian/buddhist stoic philosophy for ya
it's what's given them spiritual prosperity compared to the west as well
It's why they are a submissive, feminine people
until they got the bombs dropped on them they were literally cutting people's heads off for surrendering and basically giving them that whole Neji spiel before doing them the honors
>Naruto never said destiny wasn’t real
>just that you shouldn’t let the cards your dealt define you.
These statments are in conflict with each other. If destiny is real then everything dealt automatically defines you. You can't have destiny be real and also have the ability to defy it or have some kind of choice in the matter.
Nagato wasn't evil, he was 100% right. MAD was the only answer the shinobi world had to lasting peace before the alien bullshit. And the alien bullshit accidentally proved Sasuke right, since it provides a common foe for the entire shinobi world to hate.
You missed the point. It's not that people's fates are not predetermined, it's that no person can predetermine them for you.
Neji thought he had Naruto figured out because of his powerful eyes. He was wrong.
Relevant Ratatouille quote:
>In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist *can* come from *anywhere*.
I miss when Byakugan was still an equal to Sharingan. Nenji fights were cool.
naruto's dad was a hokage
and he has the audacity to say destiny has nothing to do with him becoming an hokage?
lol
nepobabies are so delusional
Minato was a deadbeat and it’s stated by Hagoromo that Naruto didn’t inherit anything from his parents. Jiraiya still teaches Naruto if Minato was just another student of his
>it’s stated by Hagoromo that Naruto didn’t inherit anything from his parents
Minato gave Naruto half of the nine-tails, lmao.
I've never watched Naruto outside of the first episodes and these threads always make me want to watch, feel like I missed out
It's painfully slow with a shit ton of filler. Go find a list of "relevant" episodes and just watch those.
THIS. There's a list of non-filler episodes to follow that leaves out all the unnecessary stuff.
Just read it, binge reading>>
watching. More enjoyable and faster
this, just read it and watch the fights that you like
I say just read the manga. A lot of what makes a manga's visuals charming in the first place gets lost when it gets animated.
Its shit. You didn't miss anything.
As someone who stuck with Naruto since the beginning:
Don't. If you do, just stick to the original and forget everything else afterwards. It's rightfully iconic, but still not as great as it should have been.
Every third episode is a sappy dragged out series of flashback clips. There are a handful of interesting happenings across maybe 300 episodes then it turns to complete unwatchable shit anyway
It's hilarious like most of anime, specially when concerning ninjas, assassination with efficiency and secrecy, both sides narrate with detail how their techniques work. In Naruto it gets to the point where they animate a chibi version of the characters to illustrate even more. It's like if show don't tell is an offence to these writers, we have to explain absolutely fricking everything. As if the main target audience is children or something.
Just read the plot summary
don't get forget on his mom's side they have a naturally ungodly amount of chakra
that fight with sasuke where it devolves into them getting exhausted and just limply slapping each other in the rain is kino
Just posting the best character
JJK and Bleach did the whole "demon living within a protagonist" thing better than Naruto. Even before he befriended Kurama, nine tails was always more of a positive than negative for Naruto. It constantly bails him out in fights and saves his ass
>Haku
>Sasuke part 1
>Orochimaru
>Neiji
>Pain
Naruto gets all his chakra and healing factor from Kurama. He’s nothing without it and the only reason he got it was because Minato had a bunch that Naruto would be the child of destiny. Nardo is useless on his own
bleach had like 5 layers of bullshit secret inner powerups hidden inside each other by the end, it was so silly
>ichigo can't go all out without his hollow taking over which will kill him
>ichigo's hollow takes over during his fight with ulquiorra but he survives anyway
>uhh ackshully his inner hollow was actually his real zanpakuto spirit the entire time
god bleach was moronic
JJK did it the best because Sukuna genuinely had zero positive impact on Yuji’s life. He didn’t gain shit from it
>Anon didn't watch the first episode that shows the themes of the series
The answer is in the first episode
>filtered by a cartoon for kids
grim
>Hey, Neji. I fricked your sister.
That's all Naruto had to say to destroy him.
Neji probably also fricked his cousin. Just not the same cousin.
Neji's dead my dude.
She was a genin before the war.
tfw no warm hyuga gf
>He's behind me, isn't he?
yeah but he didn't know all that at the time
