These are characters who committed ruthless acts and terrible crimes, so they did not deserve the forgiveness they received
Naruto is one of the best Shonen anime of all time. And, leaving aside its defects, it is a work that It has a fairly decent world constructioncharacters that feel alive, with backgrounds and motivations that drive them, impressive battles and human ties. But it's not all, since it is also a series with some iconic villains in the industry.
However, a problem that some fans criticize this work is that it has shown that some characters who have committed brutal crimes have been forgiven. This in an attempt to give a happy ending, possibly, but the truth is that there are individuals who They committed atrocities and that, genuinely, they deserve only death and suffer great punishment, not be rewarded with an pardon. And these are some of the best examples.
Sasuke Uchiha's revenge against Konoha
Sasuke committed many crimes
To start, we have Sasuke Uchiha, a character who was originally from Konoha, but who, after a series of unfortunate events, ended up entering the dark road. After discovering the truth about his brother's actions, he felt a terrible hatred towards the town in which he was born, so he formed a team with which I intended to destroy the villageeven fighting those who once called companions.
Sasuke committed many crimes throughout the work, becoming a real criminal with a reward in the book Bingo. However, at the end of the series, he received an pardon, being forgiven by his misdeeds under the excuse that it was helpful during the Ninja war. The young man's ruthless actions did not deserve such forgiveness, but having been judged and punished for their actions. However, due to his relationship with the protagonist, he was released.
Pain/Nagato kills many inhabitants of Konoha
It is time to talk about Nagato/Pain, one of the best villains in the entire franchise and represented a philosophy that could be understood. This character sought to destroy Konoha in the same way that this village destroyed his home in the past.
Nagato is responsible for killing countless ninjas and innocent villagers before creating Pain. And when this happened, it caused the destruction of Konoha, being the murderer of Jiraiya and also, in a way, of Kakashi. His actions were ruthless and brutal, motivated by their sense of peace. However, In the end, this was redeemed by being evangelized by Naruto and revived the inhabitants of Konoha who murdered. Obviously, this “detail” does not eliminate chaos and destruction of the village. In the end, this was recognized as a victim and not villain, receiving some forgiveness.
Orochimaru's experiments
Orochimaru experienced with hundreds of innocent people
Orochimaru began being one of the most memorable and malignant villains throughout the series. This character represented the mad scientist who was willing to do everything to carry out his plans, What included experimentation with innocent childrendamaging his life and his mind forever.
But Orochimaru not only destroyed the lives of these children, but, some time later, He was also responsible for Sunagakure's invasion to Konoha and who murdered the third Hokage. And when the fourth Ninja war ended, he was recognized as responsible for these crimes, but did not receive severe punishment and can still access what he wants. He did not deserve the second chance after everything he did.
Minato and Kushina's decision to seal Kurama in his son
This is one of the most controversial examples. And, although Minato claimed that he made this decision because he trusted his son's potential, This was an act of faith more than anything elseI didn't know what could happen. Having sealed Kurama in Naruto and having left him orphan was something very brutal for the little one, who had to grow alone, rejected and alienated.
Currently, All see Minato as a hero and a great Hokage. However, he left much to desire as a father by prioritizing the village over the future, well -being and mental health of his newborn son, who had to deal with the hatred of all from an early age. It was a miracle that Naruto did not end up becoming a villain, since he had everything for it. In the end, the young man had help to stay on the right track, but this does not justify the action of his parents.
