It has been more than a year since the disastrous ending of Naruto (that I will never acknowledge). I still stay in this fandom mainly because of SasuHina, but now I realize that I can’t even do that anymore. This is the worst fandom I have ever encountered in my life.
Fans are attacking each other just because preference over shipping of fictional characters. Mainly it is started by pro-ending supporters who expect every Naruto fans to worship their so-called “canon pairings” and neglect every other pairings since the ending has been revealed. Maybe they desperately think that since their pairings are “canon”, from now on everyone automatically will love their pairings thus it is a duty to dedicate all of others’ precious time to make fanworks based on that shitty ending. When that doesn’t happen, they are going nuts and attacking everyone. Unfortunately this “canon army” only dare to do it cowardly behind anonymous face or fake accounts. They stoop so low, even use death threats to those who refuse to like their overrated pairings. Well, who will love garbage like that anyway?
And people behind Naruto only think about how to milk the series. They never think about the quality of the story, popularity conquers all. Why I am even in this series while there are many better series over there, I can’t understand.
So, in this post I want to conclude my thoughts on Naruto before leaving the fandom completely. I won’t make this lame fandom get more people by still sticking to this series. It will make it more popular and make others think that this series is good. Bah! No! I think Naruto is the worst series I have known so far, because :
1. The ending is incompatible with the storyline
How could Naruto not love Sakura after all those years spent chasing after her? How could an “Uchiha” wear glasses and not blind? (see Itachi). How could Himawari have byakugan with blue eyes? And many more.
Seems like to force this ending to happen, all basic rules in Naruto world must be broken. So I think this is not Naruto. To me, this is just fanfiction, not canon, and the real Naruto has ended at chapter 698. I feel like the rest of it only desperate attempts from Naruto teams to monetize the series by adding and changing the universe as much as they like to create more money. And more popularity = more money so I am not expecting something good out of this series anymore.
2. There is no change in the corrupted system
Hyuuga clan is still not changed, so is the system in shinobi village that has caused the circle of hatred, although the Orange Hokage has ruled the village and became the legendary hero. What is the point of all of these fights if the situation doesn’t change?
3. The moral values are wrong
Every series that I know has at least one good moral value. But I saw Naruto taught the fans to:
-be fangirl forever because eventually their crushes will be theirs (look at Hinata and Sakura!)
-throw away all self-respect and dignity as long as their crushes agree to be with them, even if it is only on paper
-force their crushes to return their feelings because apparently it is idiot and cruel not to do so!
-be content with all oppression and wrong system because everything must be endured
-recognize that the definition of “true love” is abuse and murder attempts
-say that lying is bad but if they are the ones who lie, then it is perfectly acceptable
-forgive instantly people with shitty behaviours as long as they have handsome face
What the hell is that? I am not gonna recommend this series to my children or anyone else I know, heck I will ban this series in my house!
4. The “canon couples” are fake, forced, OOC, and terrible
Naruhina “love story” is OOC as hell. Actually it has good potential if only Hinata doesn’t “force” Naruto to return her feelings. No one is supposed to return another person’s feeling! If that is the case, then Lee also deserves Sakura! Why Hinata’s or Sakura’s feelings matter while Lee’s, Naruto’s, and Sasuke’s feelings don’t? Even Karin’s and Ino’s feelings are not counted just because they are not popular!
Meanwhile its “sister ship” Sasusaku is the worst pairing in anime and manga history. You can’t call that “love”. That is just toxic, sickening, and egoistical obsession of an ultimate fangirl (who later fails in her life). You can’t just call abuse, murder attempts, and neglection for dozen of years as “act of love” except there is sickness in your head. No girls deserves to be treated like Sakura. No wonder she holds the title as the worst anime character ever, since she is so shallow and has no self-respect. This girl is not an example for any good woman on this planet.
It is horrible that people behind Naruto only think about popularity, not the quality of the story. If Minato x Sakura is popular, then maybe they will bring him back with so many fake reasons like Uchiha who can wear glasses like Salad.
5. The “next generation” is so awfully made, spoiled, and copycat
The “next generation” is just copycat of their “parents” with uglier appearance. Look at Salad, Chochou, and Himawari! They are the UGLIEST CREATURES in the whole Naruto series! Don’t forget the super spoiled Salad and Bolt that think that the earth is over if “daddy” doesn’t play with them! I am not “touched” at all by that “daddy issues”! Oh, also, the fail attempts by the Naruto teams to desperately remake the chemistry of NaruSasu and NaruSaku by creating BoruSara. They are hideous, really, maybe will create another uglier spawn. No, I don’t think NaruSaku chemistry can be remade by these two kids. NaruSaku is rather easy on the eyes but those copycats are too ugly and annoying!
6. The main characters became really ugly
Sasuke with half of his face covered is the WORST version of Sasuke. He is not handsome at all. Not to mention he is like someone who has reached 50. I don’t think he is even my Sasuke. Sasuke in The Last Movie is the last appearance of Sasuke that is acceptable by me. And in my headcanon, he is still attractive, without half-covered face, although his hair is longer like Itachi. Just imagine The Last Sasuke with Itachi’s hair!
Naruto is not different either. His new style hair is awful. I don’t understand why he has many fans in The Last Movie with his uglier appearance. He doesn’t hold a candle againts Sasuke in looks department whether in that universe or in previous version (Part 1 and Shippuden).
7. Uchiha got poor fate
I am a fans of Uchiha, but it seems like this clan has a poor fate in this series and it is a great dissappointment to me. Itachi wiped out the whole beautiful and strong clan then died. Sasuke’s life is so miserable with hardcore fangirl and ugly kid following him around.
There is this talk amongst fans that Sasuke has this pitiful future to satisfy all kinds of fans. Kishi wanted to please Sasusaku by making them looked like together, but to please antis and haters, he kept them far away. Sasuke also only connects with Naruto to appeal SasuNaru fans. Salad’s mother is up to fans so that way, all female x Sasuke can claim her as their child. So everybody’s happy, right? NO, I AM NOT! I am not happy with this storyline and will never come back to support Naruto. Instead of making me come back, this storyline disgusts me, the worst kind of ending I have ever read!
That is all. And since I don’t acknowledge the ending as canon, I treat it as another version of ending created by someone. Well, it described Naruto world in such inaccurate way, so it is not different with fanfiction. Why I must acknowledge it as real canon? My real canon is SasuHina and NaruSaku, the more logical ending, as I wrote here.
Even so, I will fill in the blank space of this so-called “canon” with my interpretation and other fans’ assumption, since it left much to imagination:
1. Salad is not Sasuke’s true child, I am sure of it. Look at the real Naruto. Mikoto, Sasuke’s mother, is so beautiful so logically Sasuke is also good-looking. Salad is so ugly, there is no way she has Sasuke’s genes within her. Any children of Sasuke should be decent-looking. Someone so beautiful won’t have such an embarassment as a child. She has sharingan? Yes, but so do all Uchihas. So, she is just an Uchiha test tube baby from Orochimaru lab. Her mother is Karin, there is no doubt. Look at her apperance and skills. Don’t ask about Gaiden, everyone could be lying. Her father is some Uchiha, can be Obito, Shisui, or another Uchiha with black hair and dark eyes but not Sasuke or Itachi. They are too good for her sorry-ass.
I think Salad was born because Orochimaru wanted to make an ultimate baby from Uzumaki and Uchiha lineage. Sasuke found out about that plan and he stopped it, but most of the process had been done. The only one left was to place it into a woman’s womb. Sasuke didn’t want to lose the chance to have another member of Uchiha clan and at the same time, Sakura who pursued him tirelessly had appeared. So he made Sakura as the surrogate mother and had her raise the child. Sakura agreed but only with condition that Sasuke married her. Sasuke wanted nothing to do with the fangirl so he only agreed to pretend to marry her. It was a fake marriage and he allowed her to use the clan name for the sake of the Uchiha child. But Sakura, who didn’t realize that Sasuke only used her as babysitter, had flown to the seventh sky. She happily obliged and returned to the village. So Salad is Sasuke’s adopted child. That is why Sasuke is never at home and only slightly showed her affection. Because she is not his own blood. She is just another Uchiha kid. Uchiha is supposed to be someone who is capable to love greatly, but since Sasuke is so indefferent, then it is clear that Salad is not important to him.
2. Sasuke perhaps has a family outside the village. Maybe he fell in love with a girl on his journey but knowing that it was dangerous to make a new Uchiha family, he eloped with the girl to a place far away from shinobi world, pretending to take a mission with unlimited time. When he found that “Salad project” by Orochimaru, he realized that it was a perfect plan to cover his family. He made a fake family with Sakura as a decoy so his real family is safe. He knew that Sakura is strong enough to protect herself not to mention there is the legendary Naruto in the village. The kid is not his anyway so it is perfectly fine if that one is on constant threat from enemy. Hey, it is not heartless. Sasuke will try to protect the kid and Sakura too with the best of his ability but since he is not God, there is a chance that he will lose. And he won’t take that chance to his real family that he loves genuinely. Now his long-time mission makes sense, also why he doesn’t seem to love Sakura enough to kiss her after 12 years of separation. Don’t ask me who is that lucky girl. It can be new character, OC, me, you, anyone… Well, Sasuke X Reader scenario has never been so interesting!
3. Alternation to scenario #2. Since I am a certified SasuHina fans, I would like to think that before Hinata’s marriage, Sasuke and her had a thing that made her give birth to his children. The children are twins, boy and girl. The girl has sharingan but the boy has the eye combination. This caused fear within Konoha. What if another war ensued because of the boy’s special eyes?
So, Hyuuga clan and Kakashi ordered Sasuke to bring the children away. Because their further union was rejected and endangered the whole Konoha, then Hinata pretended to marry Naruto and Sasuke made a fake family with Sakura with scenario #1. Bolt and Himawari were made by artificial insemination. Sasuke raised his children in a secret place while pretending to be on a long-time mission. His friends were spreading lies about him now and then to help him cover the truth.
Even so, he is still so much in love with Hinata so after the kids got older and could take care of themselves, he offered to be Bolt’s master to be close with her. Now you can see why he always connects with Naruto but NEVER with his so-called “family”. To check on his hime, of course.
Meanwhile his own children with Hinata are perfectly fine in his secret place, doing little adventure and kicking ass with various techniques taught directly by their beloved REAL father. Their name? Hikari and Hikaru Uchiha. They have black hair and fair skin. Hikari, the girl, has dark eyes and sharingan, a true Uchiha in appearance. While Hikaru has grey eyes. He can combine both byakugan and sharingan. Hikari looks like Hinata with wavy hair and Hikaru is a carbon copy of Sasuke (minus the eyes) with straight hair. Both of them are beautiful. This looks cool, right? Salad who?
Whichever scenario it is (I prefer scenario #3), I am sure that Salad in that “canon” universe is not Sasuke’s true child and Sakura is his fake “wife”. No real family is making Sasuke as distance as that. Not even Kishi with his future “works” can influence me on this. I am done with Naruto and this is what I want to believe from that disaster-called-ending. It is just a fictional world anyway.
Okay, I think those are all my thoughts about Naruto. I am dissappointed that this series becomes this bad just because of the influence of popularity and money. I know that Kishi does this for a living but so does J.K. Rowling but she didn’t sacrifice her story’s quality too much. I mean, author can follow readers’ opinion but do it in a good way without decreasing the quality significantly. In Naruto, I feel like everything will be done as long as it sells, including turning Naruto’s world upside down and it is a big turn off for me.
Now I will move on to another better series, which are really plentiful out there. I hope I will never encounter another series which is as bad or even worse than this. Sayonara, Naruto!
