Starting Out as Naruto’s Substitute

Well, to be honest, it really suits my taste. The so-called "shonen" manga is actually more about weaving conspiracy theories and plots. Maybe, if I were writing Naruto, I'd make everyone rebel against Konoha. Well, this world is too dark, so why not just kill them all? Perfect! Only Tomie is left—perfect!

Why did Naruto die? I'm truly speechless. Was it just because he was unhappy? I'm truly amazed by the author's mentality.

The main issue is that the author wanted to write a dark story, but lacked the writing skills to adequately develop the protagonist's experiences. The protagonist's background setting was problematic; at the time of his transmigration, a person around thirty years old already had a fixed worldview, resulting in the protagonist being portrayed as a bizarre madman who frequently had manic episodes, leaving readers feeling confused!

What if we switched roles, with Kurenai Naruto becoming the older brother and the crown prince, while the original Naruto remained the same as in the original story? I think Naruto would still be Naruto. He wouldn't hate anyone; he would simply be himself, the Little Sun, not this Kurenai Naruto who, despite having the so-called identity of a transmigrator, is still so immature.

The beginning is baffling. The protagonist is thirty years old across two lifetimes. He has the same experiences but lives worse than the original Naruto, having to fight with stray dogs for food. If this were just a hobby, that would be one thing. But he shouldn't hate Konoha so much. If some kid throws a stone at you, just beat him so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

He kept saying he hated Naruto and then argued with him, like two children bickering. He wasn't someone who was over 30 years old. His arguments with Naruto were the most hurtful part of his behavior.

Please stop recommending this kind of kindergarten-level writing to me.

The fourth generation were commoners, they didn't have surnames, and "Namikaze" isn't a surname.

I was prepared to be the protagonist at the peak of my life, marrying Hinata, and I was so prescient that I was twice as strong as in the original story. But then I was told that all of this belonged to my brother, and why was the treatment so drastically different? They even looked down on me! I'm so angry! I'm not the chosen one, I feel so dangerous.

I can't understand why a transmigrator would go hungry and fight with dogs for food. When the protagonist transmigrates and becomes a Jinchūriki, they should have known what the villagers would do to them. Why go out without makeup? Couldn't they change their clothes, wear a hat and sunglasses? Or even a hood? Would anyone still recognize them then?
