Not even Naruto would believe that

ladies…. make sure you treat your man right

a lot of underdog characters in current shounen manga that ive been reading are underdogs because they are timid or socially awkward or clumsy somehow (haikyuu, yowapeda, that baseball anime, bnha)

but naruto was genuinely obnoxious. he was gross and rude and clingy. he was loud and disruptive and ruined things.

he was affection starved and had little positive socialisation. he was from an extremely tough background with very very few good role models. he was grubby and wasnt fed well at home. he didnt quite know how to tone himself down, in fact hed never had a reason to try–hed do anything for attention, even negative attention. he was just like so many kids ive known, that i knew in school myself, that i see now as an adult.
