A teenager's death is always a huge tragedy. Some fans would have been upset by it, no matter the cause. But the event sends a terrible message.First, a teenager's death is always a huge tragedy. Some fans would have been upset by it no matter why it happened. But the message that the event sends is actually kind of awful.

Hizashi sacrificed his life for Hiashi because he belonged to the branch family, and Hiashi belonged to the main family. This means Hizashi had less value to the Hyuuga clan. Hinata and Neji faced the same thing. Neji acted nobly, but this was what he trained for. He accepted his life mattered less than Hinata's due to clan politics. His death confirms this message.

Sakura told Naruto a lie to stop him from pursuing Sasuke and endangering himself. She claimed she no longer loved Sasuke and her feelings shifted to Naruto. Sakura thought Naruto might pursue Sasuke for her sake and wanted to stop him. Naruto did not believe her; even if he did, he had his own reasons for pursuing Sasuke unrelated to Sakura.In order to stop Naruto from going after Sasuke and putting himself in danger, Sakura told him a lie. She said she was no longer in love with Sasuke and her feelings shifted to Naruto. She believed Naruto pursued Sasuke for her and sought to stop him. Naruto did not accept her story, and he had reasons for pursuing Sasuke that did not involve Sakura.

Sakura is a polarizing character. Though she has her fans, Sakura is widely disliked by the fandom. This is one reason why. Many people think saying this to Naruto is cruel since he had feelings for Sakura once. Others see it as a wrong move to save Naruto and do not blame Sakura. These split opinions make fans get heated when the topic arises.Sakura is a polarizing character. Though she has her fans,she has her fans., Sakura is widely disliked by the fandom.

The real big bag is not Madara Uchiha. Kaguya Otsutsuki, the chakra originator from the moon, is the real one. Her goal is to reclaim all the chakra that was hers, leaving the world as withered husks.At the end of the series, we learn the real big bag is not Madara Uchiha. Kaguya Otsutsuki, the chakra originator from the moon, is the real one. Her goal is to take back all the chakra that was hers, leaving the world as withered husks.

This twist ending throws many fans off balance. There is little setup for Kaguya's existence. It feels less like a surprising part of the story and more like something put together at the last second because Madara was too strong to beat.This twist ending throws a lot of fans for a loop. There is very little foreshadowing leading to Kaguya Otsutsuki's existence. It feels less like an expected but surprising part of the story and more like something randomly added at the last second because Madara is too powerful to defeat.

The moon concept borrows from Japanese mythology, yet it feels like a strange jump to science fiction. Kaguya's reasons feel repetitive. Humanity being evil was already covered. Madara had that motivation. This felt like replacing him without finishing his story.

What Happened: Sasuke revives Orochimaru for information, even though he killed him years before. Later, Orochimaru gets a small redemption arc. He doesn't become good, but he is not a villain anymore. He lost his venom.

Why It’s Controversial: Sasuke, a twelve-year-old, agrees to let Orochimaru take his body for training. This training lets Sasuke get strong enough to seek revenge on Itachi. Watching Sasuke gain strength to destroy the snake and free his subjects is awesome. However, Sasuke reviving Orochimaru for information feels like a big letdown. Sasuke makes a deal with him.again?What Happened:

Why It’s Controversial: The worst part is Orochimaru's role in Boruto.What Happened: Some people still find him uncomfortable, but he acts as he wants and is not a villain. This allows human experimentation, especially on clones. Yamato guards him. Yamato first remembered being trapped under corpses killed by Orochimaru's experiments. Karin and Suigetsu tortured him in the lab. But now, he attends parent-teacher meetings and is generally liked. People do not like this change.

What Happened: After Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi succeeds, Black Zetsu betrays him. Black Zetsu forces Madara to absorb the chakra of millions trapped in the illusion. This makes Madara a vessel for Kaguya, the series' main villain.

Why It’s Controversial: First, watching Madara explode is gross. Aside from visuals, fans dislike this scene for several reasons. Many fans do not want Kaguya as the ultimate villain. This scene sets up another problematic plot.

Also, some fans find it unlikely that someone smart like Madara would trick himself into creating Black Zetsu.

Finally, this scene stops us from seeing Madara's full power in battle. His best fight was against Guy. That fight is great, but many fans want to see him fight the main characters.

What Happened: Might Guy's fight with Madara is a top fight in the series, not involving the main characters. Both characters hit their limits. Guy uses the Eight Gates to defeat Madara. This technique lets him release body limits and chakra flow. He activates the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death. Guy then uses Evening Elephant and Night Guy, which ends the battle. Guy survives, though he gets badly hurt and uses a wheelchair forever after recovery.

Why It’s Controversial: Few want the excitable jounin to die. Using a technique meant for death feels like plot armor. Opening the Eighth Gate makes the user's heart pump so fast it could explode. The body must cook from the inside from the heat the technique creates first. Guy survived with only leg damage. There is no logical way.

What Happened: During the Five Kage Summit Arc, Karui confronts Naruto. She asks Naruto for information about Sasuke, whom she wants to defeat after his terrorism. Naruto refuses to share anything. He warns Karui not to pursue Sasuke. He states his friends might stop her. He says pursuing Sasuke is a bad idea; it only continues violence. Karui hits Naruto on the ground. Naruto could have fought back, but he understands Karui's desire for revenge. He lets her hit him without complaint.

Why It’s Controversial: Many fans find this scene pathetic and sad. Some think Naruto should fight Sasuke now. Naruto has betrayed him many times; he must let go. Others object because Naruto does not stand up for himself. Some like the scene because it links to the series theme: stopping violence. By not attacking Karui or selling out Sasuke, Naruto sticks to his principles.

What Happened: While fighting Kaguya, Obito shields Naruto and Kakashi from an attack. Obito dies. After an emotional moment, his spirit lives long enough to help Kakashi. Obito temporarily gives Kakashi his chakra and Mangekyo Sharingan. He then meets Rin in the afterlife.

Why It’s Controversial: Obito's death shows a bigger problem with Naruto. Villains who are redeemed often die instead of facing the consequences of their actions. Obito's sacrifice is noble, but Naruto already did that storyline with Pain. It is a repetitive, easy way to end his arc.

Obito suffered brainwashing from his ancestor and faced serious trauma. Obito did awful things, but Konoha society could have accepted him back. This could have led to interesting interactions between Obito and his only living family, Sasuke. Obito would have had hard work to fix his actions, but the process could have been interesting. This makes more sense than Orochimaru’s 'redemption.'

Fans also question Obito's reunion with Rin in the afterlife. Some find it unbelievable that Rin waited for Obito and welcomed him so warmly after his actions. Also, Obito communicating with Kakashi after his death does not seem realistic to viewers.

Pain Revives The Hidden Leaf Village is listed among 12 controversial 'Naruto' moments.Pain attacks Konoha because its military used Amegakure as a battlefield, causing thousands of deaths, including Pain's parents. Pain wants to teach survivors the pain of war in their own home by attacking Konoha, stopping future war. After talking with Naruto, Pain decides to sacrifice himself to revive the dead using his Rinnegan.

This event is controversial.Resolving this problem too easily negates the arc's painful moments. It also strains belief. Naruto shows empathy and persuasion, but how real is it that Pain would drop his beliefs after one talk? Fans do not want characters like Kakashi to die, but other solutions exist.

Sasuke stabs Karin to reach Danzo.During Sasuke's fight with Danzo, Danzo held Karin captive and used her as a shield. Karin asked Sasuke for help, and he pretended to help her. Instead, Sasuke shot a chakra beam through Karin to reach Danzo.

This action is controversial.Even fans who dislike Karin feel this action crosses a line. Sasuke wants revenge on Danzo after learning he orchestrated his clan's massacre. However, Karin sacrificed for Sasuke since they met; she let him drink her blood to heal. Sasuke might not have returned Karin's feelings, but he should have shown gratitude. At least, he should not have betrayed her so badly.

Moments like this make Sasuke harder to relate to. This matters greatly given the main character's view of him and his return to Konoha.

Kimimaro is defeated.Kimimaro died during a fierce fight that pushed Gaara and Rock Lee to their limits. Kimimaro's death resulted from a terminal illness he had developed before the fight.

Kimimaro's defeat is controversial.Expending all fight energy might push a sick person over the edge. Yet, this feels too convenient for the heroes, cheap. Gaara fought someone he couldn't beat, but the fight failed to show his skills. Fans wanted to see Gaara handle this new situation better. Rock Lee getting drunk was the fight's most memorable part.

Sakura and Ino's rivalry is controversial.Sakura and Ino are childhood friends who improve each other. Ino boosts Sakura's confidence; Sakura helps Ino study. Their friendship ends in pre-teens because both develop crushes on Sasuke.

Sakura and Ino's rivalry is controversial.Kids fighting over a crush happens, but it is sad and needless. The series has few female characters. Watching these two tear each other apart over a boy—one who cares for neither—hurts. As adults, they remain friends, but their bond never reached its potential without the childhood rivalry.
