How many Naruto fans actually like Naruto?

I agree with this

People complain too much sometimes.

@spitfirepanda: what you mean?

He's easily my favorite character alongside Kakashi. Those two are the reason I stuck with the anime.

Funny, i disliked Boruto starting with OVA and dropped manga. Naruto is by far the most likable between the two.

@marc_55: @batmanplusjay: i have always loved naruto as a character, deapite what people say.

Many people say he began to suck in shippuden because Naruto switched from hard work to prophecies and clan names.

This annoys me when people say that he is no longer cool because he is a powerhouse and is no longer using hard work as the soul reason for his power.

Naruto was never set on hard work alone.

Naruto's character is all about bonds and how they can push people beyond dedication and skill.

Naruto broke destiny by saving sasuke. It is the sole reason he continued to chase Sasuke. Because hia bond to sasuke drove him to do the impossible.

Ashura and Hashirama both failed in bringing back their life-long friends back. Naruto is the only one who saved him.

Naruto is also about promises and keeping his word.

He promised he would protect the wave, and he did.

He promised to protect sakura from Gaara, and he did.

Naruto promised to be gaara's friend, and he was.

Naruto promised to surpass his parents and carry their legacies, and he did.

Naruto promised to save sasuke, and he did

And he fulfilled his promise to himself and those precious to him by becoming the seventh hokage.

1) Hashirama

2) Gai, Rock Lee, Itachi, Deidara, Shikimaru, and Minato

These guys are the best characters to me. I got tired of hearing the same things from Naruto over and over and over (I get that, that is his character, but there wasn't much new stuff about him) he just got old real quick. But with all these guys, when they were brought up in a manga chapter/anime episode, that chapter/episode got 100x's better to me. Because you could always expect something new/over the top from these guys. And that's what I like about them.

He's very sexy

I mean Kakashi is basically everyone's fav character. Is Naruto in my top 10 fav Naruto characters? No. But, he would make my top 25. Sasuke was unbearable at times...

He's a pitiful excuse for a main character. Still leagues better than Natsu who isn't even a character...

This kind of how I feel about him. Kind of.
