[[ People Sasuke deserves to meet…

1) Ex prisoners of Orochimaru who were released when Sasuke fetched Karin and then Juugo.

2) Ex guards/assistants of Orochimaru, who had the chance to flee when this also happened.

3) The kekke genkai users at the coliseum who were freed when Sasuke took the entire arena on in exchange for himself.

4) The relatives, friends, and perhaps eventual children of these people, who more than likely spread the word of Sasuke and his good heart. ]]

[[ Just to clarify, Itachi didn’t pick birds because “uwu goth aesthetic”, he picks birds purely because no one expects birds, and a sudden flock of crows in your face is going to confuse you WAY MORE than a substitution log/common replacement item.

It wasn’t about being cool/showing off, it was about effectively confusing his enemy and making them panic through a method no one’s tried before, and no one is generally expecting. ]]

Sorry I hadn’t read the novels I figured they were just supplementary material sorry. Thank you for answering my question btw!

[[ I wouldn’t count them as supplementary material. They have a lot of information which clears up questions within the manga about the past. I highly recommend reading both of Itachi’s novels. They truly highlight how awful the situation for the Uchiha was, and how Itachi could ultimately do very little to stop it. ]]

Why do you think the villagers hated naruto? It makes sense thematically. He has a monster that killed many people inside him. And having a demon in a child is very likely to make people afraid of him. But given his parents it makes no sense. Both Kushina and Minato were well liked, respected ninjas. Minato was the HOKAGE. Why was no one sympathetic towards him for having to bear the burden of the nine tails inside him? Did Kishimoto just not plan out his storyline?

[[ Um.

The novels say so.

Danzo Shimura spread the information that Naruto was the Kyuubi and he was dangerous. He wanted them to be afraid of Naruto so Danzo could kill him and be lauded as a hero.

Very few people knew that he was Minato and Kushina’s son. This was done on purpose, to prevent people coming after him for being the Fourth’s son. 

It’s less about “planned storyline” and more that the characters within the series purposely hid information. People in large masses are easy to scare. 

It wasn’t well known public knowledge that the Kyuubi was the Leaf’s weapon. This isn’t Kumogakure. It was a monster what hailed from who know where to them, and this kid has it contained inside of him, and the trauma of the village being attacked makes them distrust and mistreat Naruto.

It it still shitty? Yeah. But it’s not bad writing. Humans can be cruel creatures. ]]
