What shit are you smoking??" Then I remembered how gayass the Naruto series actually is and I just rolled my eyes. The whole way the series dealt with issues like friendship and "the power of love" was way too idealized and, frankly, cringe-worthy. Every time the manga showed the same old flashbacks, or how the power of "friendship" or "love" or trumps actual physical prowess and tactical skills, my stomach would turn in on itself. The overall story and plot is good (barring the entire 4th War), but the idealised portrayal of love and friendship was quite cringe worthy, especially Talk no Jutsu.
