Naruto: The Great change

Ch - 24 : Chunin Exams : Target Uzumaki Naruto III

Yo! Let's get started!

But before we start, I want to clear something that not many people get. Naruto's mindset and action performed made him the Child of Prophecy, not the other way around.

The Toad Prophecy in Hagoromo about some blue eyed youth was just Filler crap.

Also fans bring up all his advantages but none of the detriments he faced.

Kurama's chakra sure is cool except it fucked with his chakra control making him worse at things he should be good at.

Same Kurama also burned his life away anytime Naruto got excessively emotional, for context he is an orphan who had no parental figure until the age of 12 and lived off ramen and expired milk. Did I also mention he is hated by nearly every person in his village? Damn can you imagine him getting emotional?

Oh right! Kurama also made it so his body is constantly strained, and also took away 96% of his large reserves he was born with. Ah before I forget, Kurama also made it so Naruto couldn't utilise Ma and Pa for Nature energy.

Oh yea he also had an International Terrorist organisation actively after him because of Kurama, nothing major tho.

Yea Ashura's reincarnation, something which Ashura's spirit CHOOSES. Naruto isn't born as a reincarnate, it's quite literally explicitly stated that he was CHOSEN because of his behaviour. And let's see the perks of being an Ashura reincarnation - you fight your counterpart in a death match. Nothing more, nothing less.

Child of prophecy, the title given to the person who bring a great revolution to the ninja world either by uniting the world or bring great destruction to it. Right let me just check what it did for the previous title holders, wait they just died without achieving either? It's almost like the title does nothing for you.....

All in all let me summarise the disadvantages :

The chakra reserves you were born with are sealed away

Your body is constantly strained

You lose your lifespan for feeling emotions excessively

You are ostracised by every living being around you

You gain nothing being an incarnate except the destiny of killing your counterpart (who tends to be your best friend)

You can just die as the Child of Prophecy and nothing changes.

You are inherently worse than every shinobi other than you due to lack of chakra control.

Half of the time I imagine if people even read Naruto?

The crackling fire offered the only warmth in the silent, star-dusted night. Jiraiya and Sasuke sat across from each other, the dancing flames casting long, flickering shadows. The Sannin watched the last embers of the stick glow before flicking it into the pit.

"You look a little overwhelmed," Sasuke remarked, his voice a low, even cadence that didn't invite argument. He didn't look at the elder shinobi, instead tossing a small, dry twig into the orange heart of the flames. The brief hiss and spike in light did little to break the quiet tension.
