Y’know, I tend to talk about Naruto’s loneliness and lack of a true family in his early years. While blood doesn’t truly make a family and we see this in action when he is assigned to Team 7, it remains true that he didn’t have a blood family OR adoptive family when he needed it. Hiruzen was there, but… I mean… Hiruzen really just did the bare minimum. I know he was Hokage and all. But seriously. Bare minimum. Naruto lacked that one thing every child needs growing up. It’s as vital to their life as the food they eat and the water they drink. Love. And because he lacked that, he began to crave it. This manifested in many things, such as mischief in an attempt to get some form of attention, even if it was negative. It also manifested in fierce loyalty. Naruto had few friends, and because he had few friends, those he had, he cherished more than his own life, and would do anything to hold on to them. His bond with Sasuke symbolizes that. Naruto is a good person. I’m just gonna say it. He is genuinely a good person, and the sad truth is, he became good because nobody around him ever showed him love. He was the only one to truly understand the value of love, because he was one of those who had to live without it. Sakura in a way is a direct opposite to Naruto, being that she has a family. They are overbearing, embarrassing, and annoying. And there have been times when Sakura has stated that Naruto and Sasuke are lucky. The movie Road to Ninja goes off of this a little further by allowing Naruto and Sakura to switch circumstances. While Sakura initially feels free, she slowly begins to realize that this freedom is a solitary one. She really begins to understand Naruto on a deeper level by walking a mile in his shoes, which I thought was a nice touch for the movie. And it further grows sadder when Naruto realizes that, though he doesn’t want to leave the Limited Tsukuyomi, he still finishes the job, sacrificing a world where he could have been happy. But isn’t that just the story of his life? Sacrifice everything for someone else. He bears so much responsibility at every point in his life, which makes for a legendary story for an equally legendary Hokage. Due to the fact that I always seem to focus on Naruto’s loneliness all the time, I felt that a nice change of pace is in order. Instead of focussing on what he didn’t have, let’s take a look back at the family he DOES have. This will be slightly loose, as I will add in distant cousins and adopted family members as well. It will be super messy, but the real point of this is to observe all of Naruto’s family. So turn that frown upside down and let’s observe those who ALWAYS loved Naruto instead of worrying about those who didn’t.
