Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?

I've seen this passed around a few times, and I have one thing to say:

It's online. The book was carefully and wonderfully recreated online by hand. You can find it here. The entire book is this easy.

hnmmm what if i just HHEGGDHEHHDGGEGEGGDGGDGEGEGE

Some1 explain this please I'm scrolling thru the notes but haven't found something yet

how can i help you bud

how did kishimoto change the core values of the narrative. i felt that something was different about the manga but I can't articulate it

up until the chunin exams the message is anti-military industrial complex - the series literally opens with the revelation that the military entity of konoha has implanted a weapon into a child and ostracized him for it then continues on to the land of waves arc to show the destabilization of a small nation for the sake of capital by corporate interests spearheaded by two more trained child soldiers (zabuza now being an adult and being unable to live any other way that so even when he adopts a kid who he cares for, he is unable to do anything but bring them into a life of killing). kakashi even has sakura explain how conflict between large military nations is necessary for economic prosperity in the shinobi village system and how it leads to strife and exploitation in bystander countries like the land of waves, then when the kids question his faith in such an unjust system he follows it up with the whole thing (which he started with the bell test) about how blindly following orders and the status quo is actually bad. blah blah blah

and then! suddenly kishimoto goes pro-state, dude's on the LDP party line, we jump to the arrival of itachi + jiraiya at the chuunin exams and the reveal of the uchiha massacre and how suddenly naruto's correct path is Not being anti-konoha, in fact, because going against konoha is Evil and the Dark Path, and jiraiya's the big noble hero for being a spy and soldier for konoha, yippee, will of fire! then you get shit like the waterfall of truth (naruto is aware that the system has been unjustly cruel to him but winning konoha's approval is depicted as logical and taking moral and narrative precedence), the creation of the akatsuki as an anti-imperialist movement initially just looking to protect and feed civilians in a wartorn region and eventually escalating to dismantle the system itself but when push comes to shove kishimoto makes it so talk no jutsu works on pein, the entire framing of sasuke being a bad person for deserting and itachi being a hero for massacring a marginalized and resistant ethnic group, kishimoto's interview where he says the narrative is based on his grandparents saying ww2 was based on "lingering grudges", the fact that kishimoto put the rising sun flag behind the sage of six paths when we get dojutsu origin backstory.... then after all the setup about obito and madara creating the crux of the struggle in shippuden as a concerted effort to destroy the shinobi system then suddenly kishimoto introduces kaguya as the ultimate seed of narrative conflict because haha hey it turns out that the massacred ethnic group is inherently genetically eeeevil haha isn't that a normal thing to write with no real world parallels

anyway most of this is introduced right after the 2005 anti japan protests across east asia, which as we know sparked an enormous reactionary right wing movement in japan. shippuden starts right in the midst of those actually fjskjfkd

More info from NRK (Norwegian media), 22. April 2024:

For Europeans reading: your country, even if it has a ban on weapon exports to Israel, may similarly be aiding the genocide in Gaza "indirectly" through weapon exports to the US.
