Ten Tailed Fox wrote: Wow, what a horribly worded and extremely one-sided opinion that is in no way truth at all. Love has caused many wars, deaths, tragedies, etc. over the course of history. Like, seriously, pick up a history book. People will do some horrible things in the name of lost love and, you'll find, most of the people who perpetrate these crimes out of lost love tend to be younger rather than older.

Secondly, really? Are you inferring that Obito is unrealistic because teenage boys don't have the capacity for anything but blind lust? Have you met a teenage boy (or been one?). I'd have a hard time believing either based on your statement alone.

Love is a powerful emotion and thirteen year old anybodys (boys or otherwise) are extremely impressible and easily influenced emotionally. Now, not all of them are 'shinobi' capable of destroying the world with their crazy eye powers, but there are a reason that people go crazy and do things like commit mass murder (pick your poison on how they do this), or do something as tragic as take their own lives.

Forgive the harshness of this next statement, but I hate when people who have no idea what they're talking about try to be literary critics. Err nope I never said people don't do bad stuff for love. I merely stated that a 13 year-old going about with the "destroy the world" and ruthlessly killing people along the way is simply ridiculous. Why is that so difficult to understand? Did your childhood crush ditch you when you were 13 so now you get butthurt whenever someone trashes teenage "love"? Well whatever. No need to get so butthurt.

And yes, I know something about history. Almost all wars were chiefly caused by nationalism, xenophobia, lust for power and dominion, natural resources, religion, etc. I don't know a single major war that was fought for "love". Crimes of passion? Certainly, they're too many. But wars? NOPE. Why don't YOU pick up a history book? Also by any chance, are you a big fan of cheesy romance films that says "love conquers all"? Love seems like a touchy issue for you.

P.S. I never claimed I was a literary critc. Also, I've been a teenage boy, I've had my crushes, and most importantly, I watched a fuck lot of porn during those days instead of plotting the end of the world just because I couldn't get some of my crushes to date me.
