don't take it too seriously reality is way more complicated and not that cynical.
In fact take it with a bucket of salt.

It's a shitpost
And

SATAIRE

Most importantly don't believe life lessons which basically say this is true cause what happened in the story.

I am literally citing naruto. Don't apply it to real life .
Well except making friends with people you dont have much in common with.
That's actually good advice.
Rest is well not that useful advice




Every shounen teaches us that friendship is important. Though the one which does it best is Naruto but many people misunderstand the message behind naruto.
It's not about the fact that having good friends who care about you will get you far in life. Nay, that would at best provide emotional support at worst they would be actively harmful and bring you down. Usually they won't impact that much.
Now power of friendship doesn't mean having a good strong powerful friendship. No it means befriending powerful people. Naruto isn't the tail of three nobodies who took on life because they had friendship and helped each other. No it's about the fact that even if you are a orphan as long as you have something useful you should befriend powerful people and get there sympathy.
Befriend the hokage. Try befriending the class prodigy. Go befriend anyone who is not a mook and who shows any ability whats-over.
Why should you do that. Well of course cause if they become successful you can use nepotism.
Naruto is actually a tale about nepotism and how befriending right people can be life changing. Every single hokage is related to some other hokage.
Either they are someone's son or disciple.
This is beautfully potrayed by how hard work hardly works in naruto. The prime example are the thousand of jounin. They are thousands of them . It's not that only main cast works.
They probably worked too but the truth is they are not fit to even be naruto's ass wipes. They aren't even fit enough to be his toilet paper.
10 year old Boruto can probably fuck 10 of themselves in the ass alone. A reverse gangbang if you will.
It's not about the fact that you work hard.
No first requirement is nepotism or amazing genes . Then you must work hard after nepotism. Either have talent or friends then only your hardwork can make you good enough.
look at rock lee. He did the first thing right. Nepotism trained under might guy he even worked hard enough but he lacked the natural talent and did not make up that up with doing enough of nepotism so he failed.
Might guy succeeded but that was because he was talented in his own way and did a high risk high reward gamble.
If you don't have talent or nepotism atleast you need to have a unique idea.
He studied a technique no one else studied. The eight gates. He was good at it so he got the advantage of being first in the market. Now why don't others use it after it has been shown to be so good. Either cause it's specific or because they have better shit to do than just mindlessly try to find power
OR maybe might guy has talent and only he can do it .

NOTE: you don't see the failures of high risk high reward gambles on TV. You are more likely to fail with a higher risk.

Another really good lesson is that
make yourself irreplaceble. Not useful irreplaceable. Not irreplacble cause you are the very best but because the documention you have left is literally unreadable and company will lose money hiring someone else.
Prime example is orichamaru . He wanted immortality.
So he thought i would see how far i can push it at the end he can always beg for forgiveness.
Lots of his mook died and got no speeches for change because behind that happy go lucky mask naruto is a very practical man. He knows his time isn't worth trying to change the mooks they provide no value to his goal. They are just too many and it's easier to rasengen them.

Most people get a redemption arc before there death or just as they are dying.

but because orichamaru was a respectable genius he made himself irreplaceable and look at him now.
My man literally got resurrected to get a redemption arc.
Even if he died in action he know as long he is irreplaceable he would get resurrected and then just join the other side.
look at pain he got redemption but he did not get resurrection.
You know why,
Cause he wasn't irreplaceable .

Look at sakura even though she did not become a god because she did not have natural intuition and the right genes. (uchina contact lenses and harisharama buttplugs)
She did nepotism right played her cards right. Became tsuanade's disciple befriended naruto and married in a higher social status (sasuke. She was at it from the starting too)
If rock lee did this much nepotism he would have gone to greater heights. Though to be fair he did not have other people he could train under.
Should have stole a eye mid battle but then again everyone doesn't have so much ambition and he did not want to risk death.
Thought it's a waste he did not take neji's eye. That was golden booty for him.


Sasuke saw it and so went to orchi . He knew that the village was kinda shite and he could not do much against itachi so he needed some other nepotsim.



Also one thing which is very very very important.
Befriend people who you have no prior connections with and who you don't share a friend with because these people are most likely to be diffirent from you and see opportunities which you can't see. Also they are likely to have different friend circles so they can have diffirent connections and you can trade favours.
If you can get letter of recommendation then get it. It costs nothing to ask and it doesn't actually has to mean anything as long as it makes you look diffirent from all the other candiates it's good. No will care enough to research who you got the letter from.
Seriously go befriend diffirent people it's very useful . An extroverted guy who tells you which plot of land is going to be popular can make lot of difference.


Look at naruto he befriends everyone he sees from different walks of life without a care about there personality or common interests. You don't have to be good friends just good enough.
All villains have small groups and work alone.

being shy can be pretty bad ngl.

i am pretty sure this is what kisimoto wanted the world to know but everyone was too dense the true meaning. The characters never break character you see.
It's really useful to look dumb and act ignorant so your malice could be mistaken for incompetence can save your head and reputation. Look at naruto everyone is doing it but acting like a idiot so they get potential deniability.

If naruto did not act like a naive person .Many people would have asked why he forgave orichamaru and if he did it for selfish reasons but since he acts naive everyone thinks
"atleast he is better than everyone else and i am sure he just can't see how it is bad"

You would see everyone in Naruto has a special talent. Literally everyone is good at something. It's by choice because naruto has some class and befriends people with some talent if those talents become useful later.

Look at boruto he befriended the scientist . Lot of people worked hard but boruto got it all. Nepotism (son and disciple). Good genes and talent. Surrounds himself with smart people (scientsit) uses unique ideas.
Literally anyone can buy gadget and beat the previous jounin. Remember technology may make your talents obsolete in 10 years due to changing world but the strength of your connections goes your whole life. No amount of tech can take your hard earned nepotism away from you.
Belive in the power of friendship.
DON'T OVERDO IT. YOU STILL NEED SOME SKILLS

Wow. Someone has read entirely too many self serving sociopathic xianxia novels.
Well reality is not like that.
I know.
Nor do I use fiction for life lessons.
I was about to write in the beginning of take it all with a bucket of salt. Cause I don't have any experience or idea.
It's kinda satire about how naruto would look if you go all cynical.
And mostly about how much nepotism there is naruto

Ok someone should write naruto as xiania
Wow. Someone has read entirely too many self serving sociopathic xianxia novels.
ok to be fair some of the advice in the middle of the essay was pretty good. Even though lot of it i was not saying seriously and had a half mocking tone. Some advice was actually good.
