Naruto is powerful.
He is the one shinobi who completely ignores the accepted shinobi tactics, always gives away his position and yells out "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" whenever possible is powerful.
The one of team seven that is clumsy and never does anything right, who is always starting a fight against some one he only has the slimmest chance to beat is powerful.
He defeated Hyuuga Neji – last year's number one Genin. A great shinobi. A master of the Byakugan. Some one who easily could have become a chuunin.
And in the forests of Konoha, Naruto did what I could not.
Gaara's absolute defense, something that I, the last of the Uchiha clan could not beat, Naruto overcame. He summoned the giant frog, Gamabunta and beat the sand raccoon, Shukaku. And all I could do was watch.
Naruto is very powerful.
Everything I do is just an effort on my part to catch up and keep up.
I envy Naruto because of everything he does and is.
People fear Naruto and people respect what they fear.
When people walk by Naruto, they become careful. Whisper a few words to the person next to them and walk a little faster – being sure to stay out of his way.
When people walk by me, all they talk about is the massacre of the Uchiha clan by one of their own.
They look at me with pity. With sadness and regret in their eyes.
I do not want their pity. It disgusts me.
I want power. I want to see fear in their eyes as they walk past me. I want respect.
What makes Naruto so special? Why does he have everything that I want? What did he do to deserve it? What did I do to not deserve it?
Naruto is powerful, feared and respected.
And I want to be like him.
