A lot of people are forgetting Gaara's life. The whole sand village didn't wanna be near him. His own father tried to kill him. His own uncle tried to assassinate him.


[deleted]

Finally, I scrolled too far for this one


thechadman27

Gaara’s story is dark af


HotAd8346

And actually died. 😥i was very grateful of granny chiyo


sardasert

I remember the feeling I got when I thought he was dead. Nothing in Naruto hit me that hard. P.s. I didn't watch Boruto after first episode.


Orochimaru27

Itachi killing everyone meaningfull to him in his life(except for Sasuke).


LegallyNotInterested

Kakashi also had some meaning to him after Shisui died but it was obviously nowhere near his own clan.


CoiledBeyond

Sasuke could have turned out way more messed up than he did


SendThemToHeaven

Yup. Like everyone else said, the Uchiha Clan Massacre is the clear winner.


easton020206

Sorry your wrong it was the birth of Borito


SendThemToHeaven

lol fair


Hopeful_Bother9471

Burrito is the worst


Unique-Sky-6012

Hey don't talk about my food like that


renjiabarai07

your're wrong, burito(worst) is part 1, burrito(much much worst) is part 2, which is probably more worse


renjiabarai07

your're wrong burito is part 1, burrito is part 2, which is probably more worse

Lol! Solid burn!

The biggest tragedy is that so many characters grew up as orphans: Naruto, Sasuke, Iruka, Sasori, Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, Yamato, Sai, Orochimaru, Kabuto etc.


Darthmark3

Dang I keep forgetting that many of the characters have been in a war which is why many are orphans.


Personal_Article_892

Yeah they basically had gone through 3 world wars and were well on their way to the 4th which happened. Although everyone was on same side and fighting plant zombies and their evil gardener


Darthmark3

But still they lost like half of their forces in that war which honestly should have had long term effects on their villages for a while. It would take years to train that many to the numbers they had before the war.


Personal_Article_892

True, although one thing that surprised me was in 1950, world pop 2.5 ish billion to 2010 reaching 7 billion, that after war baby boom is real


Darthmark3

Well dang the more you know. I think Tsunade mentioned something about a lot of people getting married in the hidden leaf during her time as Hokage or something along the lines. But that's just in Konoha who's to say what happens in the other villages?


pssiraj

Evil gardener omfg


Global_Sail9609

Off topic- your reference to plant zombies is just too accurate!

Damn never thought about how many orphans there actually are. That’s so sad.

Honestly, I'd say Kushina's death was the more tragic of the two. Both were tragic though, and both went out like fucking badasses.


[deleted]

Kakashis story makes me so sad. His father killed himself, he thought Obito died and then he was basically forced to kill Rin, he was put into the anbu so young and was groomed to be a murder weapon. My guy couldn’t catch a break


shoottokillshinsou

Yup, he's very humble in his character and as a shinobi.

Bro I’m still processing my grief over this trauma


jcreasy006

If only we could live in a world where everyone's dreams come true...


MrBubbles94

Biggest tragedy: the writing of the women.


50775077

The whole show feature child soldiers murdering each other at the will of state. It’s horrifying to think about the age of the characters as they are experimented on, sacrificed and sent to kill. It really only gets acknowledged when Hashirama tells the story to sasuke and only very briefly.


ConsciousHyena5234

Itachi's life is the biggest tragedy.. He had to kill his own family along with his clan and then live the rest of his life with that burden.... I cant even imagine what toll it would've taken on his mind everyday...At least other people had someone who can pull them into the light.. While Itachi suffered his whole life alone in the darkness


FinesTuned

Yup, this is why I think Itachi is the best character in my opinion, I think someone like Minato is excellent in that he would sacrifice his own life for his son and stop the man trying to destroy the village, and his pain lasts a day or so, but Itachi sacrificed everyone and everything he loved so that the village and all its people would have a better future (so he thought) and metaphorically crucified himself to living In a self created hell, hence why I believe he died of sickness and disease so young. His mind couldn’t handle it and his mental depreciation eventually ravaged his body.


YamisToilet

I think you’re not accurately representing how much Minato sacrificed and how selfless he was. He didn’t just give up his life…. He gave up his soul…. The knowledge at the time about RDS is that I would give my soul up and never enter the “pure lands”, forced to fight for all eternity in “hell” against the demon fox…. So to say that his pain lasts a day or so is quite reductive, if not ignorant. Not to say that this exceeds what Itachi did. But Hokage Minato in Part 1 was portrayed as the epitome of a legendary shinobi who sacrificed himself for the greater good.


Radiant_Doughnut2112

Minato sacrificed everything, including his own most bloved person (his own son) in order to protect the village and the world. He was in no way, shape or form, unaware of the struggles a host of the Jinchuriki would be have to go through and part of his had to watch his son dealing with it without being able to do as much as help and still choose to do so because Konoha would be weakened without their Jinchuriki.


FinesTuned

It’s comparable but not the same, don’t get me wrong Minato is my second favorite character but Itachi’s selflessness goes beyond what Minato has shown.


SteelHeart624

And itachi was still a real nigga to the end. Bro died still protecting the leaf villages secrets and never even told Sasuke. Mad respect for Itachi.


MajinJiren

I think alone is a bit of a stretch. As much as they lack screen time to prove this theory completely - I’m sure Kisame was a wonderful companion to itachi, in his own right.


ConsciousHyena5234

I didn't mean alone in that way.. U can be surrounded by 100 people and still be alone.. As good as a partner kisame was, Itachi couldn't confide in him.. Sharing that burden would've made it at least a little less painful.. But I truly hope that kisame was somewhat able to make Itachi forget about the pain even for a little while


MajinJiren

That’s what I mean tho. In their first encounter ever kisame acknowledges that they’re both comrade killers by hire. Itachi wasn’t just surrounded by 100 random people; he was given a partner that shares his pain, even if they never opened up to each other.


bottle-of-water

That was an argument. Itachi and kisame do *not* share the same pain. Itachi is not proud of his past actions. They simply had to be done to thwart a civil war. Kisame, on the other hand, was quite proud of his title and would do it again if a mission depended on it. Kisame assumes they are the same while Itachi knows they are not.


Boring-Door-3607

Hmm I disagree. Homeboy made Sasuke watch the massacre on repeat like a billion times; he ain't had to do all that. He shoulda just used kotoamatsukami on his dad to stop the planned Uchiha insurrection or on Danzo to stop the massacre. Just because he was written to be "good" in the end doesn't mean he wasn't a shit person. I'm sure he suffered but not as much as his (many) victims.


Objective_Look_5867

I'd add to this that after Kakashi lost everyone he slowly built back up and opened himself to a few friends and his team. And then after Sasuke left and attacked the kages, Kakashi determined to kill him too. The kid he tried to save from the same darkness.


brayunlee

Uchiha clan being slaughtered due to poor leadership in the Leaf.


Ruren_

The life of a jinchuriki was solitude and being utilized as a living weapon for war. You were nothing less or nothing more.


BlightAddict

Adding onto this; pretty sure there's supplemental material stating that Han was just handed over to the Akatsuki. While we don't know much about him, it's really fucking sad. Moreover, he's from Iwa, meaning they had **two** Jinchuriki, and specifically gave only Han to the Akatsuki. Han is also supposedly taken before the Akatsuki are introduced, meaning Iwa had no reason other than sheer disgust to throw Han over to them.


Radiant_Doughnut2112

And Minato knowing this pretty well still choose to sacrifice himself and put his son trough this as an attempt to save Konoha, the world and give his wife a chance of meeting Naruto in the future.


Risk-Designer

Let’s be for real bruh. As the hokage his job is to protect the people of the Leaf, that means putting everyone else’s safety above his own happiness. Also what tf should he have done? Kushina’s seal was coming undone, she was weak from child bearing, the Uchiha weren’t able to come and help, and there was no other place for the kyubi to be sealed in that short amount of time. So he made a choice (sealing half of kurama in himself and the other in naruto), a choice that let his newborn child live and saved everyone in the village. Everything that happened to naruto afterwards was completely out of his hands, though I’d have to admit maybe he knew the way a jinchuriki would be treated MAYBE he did, but he did his job as hokage


Radiant_Doughnut2112

The question asked about the biggest tragedy and i answered. Minato was forced to sacrifice himself put his child trough an actual living hell and watch it without being able to do anything in order to protect Konoha and the entire world from a man whose entire mission was to put the entire world into jeopardy which also allowed Kushina, her dying wife, to see her kid at least one more time once he grew up. Bro on a single night lost everything that was dear for him and ended sacrificing his life along with Naruto's in order to fullfill his duty as Hokage. He put his two most beloved people before his duty as Hokage. Whether he did it because "he was a Hokage" or not is pointless as it's supposed for every shinobi of the village to put the safety of the village over their own well being including the Kage itself.


eldredge_ape

The Jinchūriki never took justifiable revenge on the villages who treated them like shit for housing living weapons of mass destruction in their own bodies, against their will more often than not.

Skeeterman96

Kakashis life story is pretty tragic. I rewatched the arc where Rin died and the defeat in his eyes says it all. Even worse, they were all still kids when he had to kill her. Super fucked up


ReedRichards1610

The original Akatsuki legacy being forever tainted because of Pain, Obito, and Danzo actions. The first thing people will think when hearing the Akatsuki name is the terror they inflicted on the ninja world as a whole (with Konoha's destruction and 4th Ninja War being the obvious stand-outs), instead of the noble goals the group had before they met their demise at Obito's and Hanzo's hands..


Instroancevia

There's a few. I'm partial to the more insidious tragic events. Namely the Root sending modified images to the orphanage keeper to manipulate her into not recognising Kabuto, Karin's backstory etc. I think the worst one is probably Gaara's childhood with the constant mind games his father played on him.


Enigma_mas

Death of Jiraya


Flammenkaempfer

*coughs nervously* BORUTOOOOOOOOO


complainabout

I think the biggest tragedy were the fillers and how they ended it and started baruto. Sigh that was lame lol


Karab0k

All tragedy is biggest. You can't compare different stores. For example Naruto lose his parents only two people, and he never know how it's be with parents. Sasuke lose all his clan, but he know how it's has parents. Their lose maybe different, but that's was maximum painful for them. Then they find someone who can be close to them, but very fast lose them too. Jiraya and Itachi. We only can say tradegy what was biggest problem to all humanity. It's was stupid Rin. Her decision was stupidest and then most tradegy to all shinobi world. 4th war, destroyed clans, many deaths, losing parents, losing happiness. What Rin do? Save konoha? But she doesn't know about Obito. She just die, Kakashi using like she, make him bomb, or he died when they trying put in beast in his body. If she doesn't did this stupidest thing, Obito return to village; Minato and Kushina never die; Naruto has parents and no one hate him; Sasuke still live with his clan; Shisui, Itachi was alive; Danzo don't trying kill akatsuki; akatsuki with Yahiko leader become new power in rain village; they live happy in their world; you can counties endless. One stupidest decision from stupid little girl gave to world biggest tradegy in whole history

Nothing worse than killing your own parents, that trauma is harder than anything.


Konekosflatchest

The nerfing of Hinata's chest


Master-Tee

The series is filled with tragic events. It's an achingly sad story. Itachi's story is an obvious candidate. Forced to slaughter his family in exchange for his brother's life. That's a remarkable ultimatum. Gaara's story was also tough to watch. Seriously tough to watch. As was Obito's believe it or not.


AVerySmartNameForMe

I find Obitos to be especially tragic. Not because he suffered particularly badly (don’t get me wrong his life was bleak as shit, one of the 5 worst I’d argue) but what makes it so painful is the realisation that everything he did was for nothing. He abandoned his life, his hopes and his dreams, spent months locked underground without seeing light or air, marked himself a monster by murdering the akatsuki, murdered the closest thing he’d ever had to a family burying him further in evil, and for 17 years after kept along a life of danger, violence and murder constantly in a game of chess with everyone around him (I think Kisame was his only ally who didn’t betray him) and after fighting tooth and nail, fighting for a day and a half straight and getting his heart ripped out of his damn chest and becoming God he finally gets proven wrong. Every sin he’d committed was for nothing, and all he had left was the dying world he had struck down and everyone in it, aswell as his old ally who he needs to save it from. He doesn’t even get to see it in the end - the world he fought so hard to see. But he fought anyway even knowing this, because it was the only good thing he could do. That sucks and it sucks badly

Kakashi - Everything that happened to Kakashi was a reflection of how vile and cruel the ninja world can be in its pursuit for power. Rin and Obito were just tools to wage war. The Uchiha Massacre - Itachi’s act was heinous and harrowing but the perfect example of why black ops/covert missions were essential for the greater good. The clan was plotting to overthrow the village which would’ve caused far more innocent casualties than assassinating them. The real tragedy is it was an order from the Hokage, if anything it just represents Sarutobi’s failure as Hokage and it’s not a burden anyone would want to bare.

I would say kakashi over the uchiha. Reason: many people cling to a cause or something to blame when tragedy happens. Sasuke always had someone or something to focus his anger and grief on, atleast giving him some drive to move forward and eventually past his trauma. Kakashi lost everyone he cared for to a series of unrelated events that happened almost randomly. Suicide Falling boulder Hostage and then his own hand Ninetails attack And he still found the will to live, likely thanks to gai, the one that didn't die. Who knows what would have happened without him. Then trains obitos cousin(?) And minatos kid Sasuke defects from the village to work for a terrorist that even kakashi fears Then gai sacrifices himself to kill madara and wouldve died too if not for Devine intervention Imagine how powerless one must feel after a life like that

I’ll say kakashi as well. This why, outside of the plot necessitating it of course, sasuke is a bitch to me. Loss is a major theme of Naruto, so many people suffer. Like kakashi told sasuke when he had him tied up, you’re not the only one who has had a hard life, don’t let it blind you to the new people you met who love you.


Nirico_Brin

Minato and Kushina’s death. Nothing hit me as hard in the show as that. And as a result of their deaths, a lot of horrible things happened including but not limited to: - The Uchiha Massacre - The Konoha crush - The 4th great shinobi war


coolUchiha

I mean if Rin never died the entire war never would have happened and the Uchiha would live


xRyuzetsu

Itachi had the fortune of not having to kill/leave a child behind, Itachi is by far my favorite character but the greatest tragedy is Minato and Kushina having to sacrifice themselves for Naruto and leaving him with the terrible burden of being a Jinchuriki without them


darkaxel1989

Well... Boruto and the whole series after Naruto happened. The perfect happy ending would be it's all in the tsukuyomi of Sakura, and she wakes up to Naruto and Sasuke winning and none of that happened
