The themes on NARUTO (or in any plot) are all subjective to the ideas and mentality that its author (kishimoto in this case) and how it evolves overtime, its possible that Kishimoto started idealistic(hard work,friendsip,screw destiny,etc) and was becoming cynistic(hard work doesn´t work,you´re destined to..), because he grew up his idelism for being unrealistic or stop to believe in them ? or having a mental crisis?, resulting in zig zaging in Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism but thats just me.

Also regarding its themes, while NARUTO may encourage "positive" themes (friendship,never give up,hard work,etc) that doesn´t mean that i can´t encourage "negative"/family unfriendly aesops (see again my above comment).

I think NARUTO suffer the readers bias of "its a shonen manga therefore it needs and must have "positive" themes and resulting in some misreading of its themes ; particually the aesop of hard work (http://hazardplayhouse.blogspot.com.ar/2014/12/naruto-hard-work-and-genius.html)

My final point is that while the work may have started with certain themes that doesn´t it will stick with those forever and can replace them for some new themes (read my comment on the first paragraph) if the author feels so.
