Hot Takes About 'Naruto' That Actually Make A Good Point
Vote for the hot takes that you think are valid.
Naruto is one of the most well-known and beloved shonen anime series to date. The series has close to 15 years of air time, over 700 episodes, and a spinoff-sequel. It's no surprise that it has its fair share of criticisms and mixed opinions regarding the story and characters.
Do you think Danzo gets too much hate? Is Itachi completely overrated in the fandom? Would it have been better if these takes were teleported into Kamui's dimension? If you're looking for some hot takes, you're in for a treat.
Here are some of the spiciest takes from Naruto fans. Let everyone know which hot takes you think are valid!

Female Characters Were Underutilized
From Redditor u/smtownvi:
Just about every female character was undersold/underutilized. Tsunade was a very strong character, but I usually see her being voted the weakest hokage…Sakura gets shiested because of her obsession with Sasuke - I wished she was written to be strong for herself instead of pining over Sasuke. Ino, Tenten, and Hinata didn't get to show their powers very much, and with Hinata, everything she did was for Naruto, again not herself. She had Byakugan, she could have been more powerful than she was portrayed…

Shikamaru Is The Real Best Friend
From Redditor u/JurassicNublar:
Shikamaru was Naruto’s true best friend…Sasuke was just a relatable teammate.

Gentle Fist Is OP
From Redditor u/dariusjack25:
Gentle fist is OP. [It's] just underrepresented. Every technique besides most Taijutsu uses chakra as a base. Gentle fist disrupts chakra.

Naruto's Wind Release Potential
From Redditor u/JSpade82:
Kakashi and Jiraiya were incredible shinobi, but failed [to teach Naruto] other jutsu to fight with…especially after they learn he is a wind type…[they] don't train him to use any wind-based jutsu. [If Naruto had a] mastery of the Shadow Clone jutsu combined with [an] even beginner-level wind jutsu, he [would've] finished a lot of fights sooner.

The Real Plot Of Naruto
From Redditor u/SHEETAAA:
The main plot was retrieving Sasuke, not becoming Hokage or stopping the aliens.

Talk No Jutsu Is Useful
From Redditor u/Joaquimaru:
Talk no Jutsu is really a great power. If you don’t believe it, try to change someone's behavior with just words. It’s the hardest thing ever…feels even harder now than ever.
Good point?
