WARNING: Spoilers!! Do not read if you:
A. Read Naruto and are not caught up to the Japanese manga
B. Are planning on reading Naruto someday and don't want the story ruined for you
C. You've never read or seen past the 4th installment of the Harry Potter saga and want to
That being said, I'll still black out the really important stuff.
I hate Sasuke. Sure, I just drew him, and he looks cool, but that was a request by a kid I really like. I couldn't just do a bad job on it. Anyway, I've never been a big fan of him, or characters like him in any story for that matter. I can see the appeal of say, Ichimaru Gin, or Mukuro, or hm.....can't find the Naruto equivalent at the moment, but anyway....I can see the appeal of the smooth villain. I don't like them, but I can see it.
I hate Sasuke because he makes people like him. Girls loooove him in fact. And he's basically just an asshole. He's concieted, rude, heartless, and doesn't give a damn about using or hurting people. It's becoming more and more evident that Naruto won't be able to redeem him in the end like he's done for so many other characters. Despite Sasuke being his "best friend" and the one he wants to save the most. Sasuke's going to have to be killed by Naruto in the end.
But I swear to all that is holy or evil or anywhere in existence if Sasuke kills Kakashi I will be in a bad mood for at least a year! When Kakashi was "dead" for a while during the Pain arc I was soooo out of it I didnt't even realize what was going on. I considered giving up reading the manga altogether, but........well, I have to know the end of the story!
I've heard arguments made before that Naruto in some ways parallels Harry Potter. Or that there are similarities between the main characters' lives anyway. When Sirius was killed off I was pretty furious. Actually, no wait, I'm still furious! Anyway, when it happened (or maybe it was after Dumbledore was offed in the 6th book...) there was this essay that went around saying Harry had to have all his supporters stolen away from him so he could stand up to Voldemort on his own. That's all fine and good, but........with Jiraiya being dead, and Kakashi having scraped by once... things seem to be heading that direction for Naruto too. And I'm not cool with it.
Not one bit.
It seems I have a thing for guys who like to get themselves killed for a "good cause".....
