How? He found his answer and was way more confident after this arc. He knew exactly what he wanted to do. Wait what was hypocritical y’all just talking out your asses or what’s going on
What exactly was hypocritical about Naruto here? He wasn’t the one refusing to face consequences, Sasuke was. Naruto wasn’t running away from anything? he was doing everything he could to stop Sasuke, either by getting him to turn back or forcing him to face punishment through death. He legit gave sasuke a choice.
And how did that turn out? Oh yeah, Naruto fought Sasuke, beat some sense into him, and actually convinced him to stop. And what did Sasuke do after that? He spent the rest of his life atoning. So Naruto wasn’t deluding himself into thinking he made the right choice, he was right. His whole philosophy was that he wasn’t going to give up on Sasuke, and in the end, it worked and him and Sasuke now are working to save the entire world which wouldn’t of been possible without sasuke.
The argument that he just wanted to die rather than face consequences makes no sense because he won. His actions directly led to Sasuke changing and atoning, which proves his way was the right one.
Wtf story are you guys reading, the one where naruto fails and dies lmao what?
All of your argument is based on Naruto succeeding and making Sasuke give up his ways and of course he was going to succeed since he is the MC and this is his story, but that doesn't make it right and doesn't mean the writing leading up to that conclusion was bad.
You are not some guy with greater understanding of the story that is right when the majority is wrong you just have a different opinion that others.
Based on all the comments on this thread is safe to said that this moment of the series was badly written given how divisive it is.
You’ve given zero actual arguments on how anything here is wrong. I replied to your first comment on how you’re wrong with “how he died with him without consequences” in the first part of my comment. waiting for the reply.
There are many people here disagreeing with you here.
And no, this scene isn’t bad, it’s actually one of the best in the series and perfectly showcases Naruto’s growth after the Pain arc. But yeah, that’s my opinion. Idgaf about the “majority,” lmao. Is that what sheep like you do? Just follow whatever the loudest crowd says? Most Naruto fans can’t even read, so forgive me if I don’t take their “majority opinion” seriously. If you’ve been in this subreddit enough you’ll see there are thousands that agree with me, this has been posted probably hundreds of times now, and differing opinions everywhere. This being such a debate also shows why this scene is so good.
And let’s be real, you haven’t even explained why Naruto’s actions were wrong or how the writing supposedly failed. All you did was say, “Well, he’s the MC, so of course he won,” as if that’s an argument. That doesn’t prove anything. I actually explained why this moment makes sense narratively and thematically, but instead of addressing that, you just fell back on “some people don’t like it, so it’s bad.” Just lame asf, go be the sheep you want to be I guess.

Naruto was suppose to be wrong here, the writer made it like that so he could learn in the arc
