Thekillman wrote: Nashikeine wrote he suddenly changed into a completely different character as the exams progressed He seems angry that the Leaf isn't shaping up to his expectations. He clearly experienced hardships, which gave him dive. The Leaf however suffers from lack of drive, as has been shown repeatedly. He even mentions that living under the protection of the 7th has left them weak.

He didn't change character though. He consistently wanted to prove he was the most powerful, something he maintains until the end.

For me I think he kinda did. He went from looking for a challenge to insulting Konoha. Why is it that he has some sort of grudge against the Leaf? Why does he have to prove himself to everyone? And also, he has this superiority complex and was like "I, as a son of the Kazekage, am better than the Hokage's son and a daughter of the Uchiha, and also everyone else." Even if he has the power to back it up, he's still just an arrogant little b******.
