Without a shadow of a doubt, Masashi Kishimoto is indeed a genius when it comes to storytelling, as we all know inNaruto. His work has not only fascinated everyone alike but has further established its reputation as part of the “Big 3” anime series, along withBleachandOne Piece.
However, beneath all the fanfare, there might just be one significant aspect where Kishimoto seems to have conveniently miscalculated. It’s about a narrative choice he took that left many of its fans looking at one another, scratching their heads, wondering what could have been done differently to make it better.
Downplaying the significance of the Uchiha clan’s genocide incident within the series itself has gained much controversy among fans and critics. But it has also played an important role in increasing our understanding of theNarutouniverse.
Only Sasuke Cared About The Uchiha Clan’s Genocide, And No One Else!
The mass genocide of the Uchiha clan at the hands of Itachi is one of the most pivotal events in theNarutoseries. But surprisingly, other major characters from the series seem to have all collectively forgotten or just do not care about this incident. A lack of empathy or acknowledgment was clearly noticed here, which is quite jarring especially when the series focuses on loss, sacrifice, and consequences of violence.
i cant stfu about how nobody in naruto verse gaf about the genocide of the Uchiha clan except sasuke pisses me off so fucking muchhttps://t.co/8TZnb2gcvk
It is true that several characters inNarutohave suffered significant personal losses throughout their life. However, this incident of the Uchiha clan is given the least importance by the author. It’s almost as if our beloved characters have become numb to thehorrors of violence, which, however, goes kind of along with the series’ message of breaking the cycle of hatred.

But still,Masashi Kishimotomight have been missing out on a great opportunity to show the complexity of this world by ignoring the importance of the Uchiha clan genocide incident. For some, it has created a gaping hole in the narrative. People are now just forced to face the fact that, even in a world of ninjas and heroes, violence’s consequences can also be glossed over, forgetting the value of human life altogether.
Fans Have Shown Mixed Reactions on This Matter of Fact
Some fans are angry and disappointed at this downplay of the significance of the Uchiha clan’s massacre, while others believe the clan deserved it. Their opinions on the massacre have created much debate within the community. The fanbase is filled with a heated argument over this point.
they were too busy bullying the other orphan to care 😭😭
even the one who “care” DON’T CARE ENOUGH

Some believe the Uchiha clan’s infamous reputation for being troublemakers deserves this tragic ending. Others believe that this perspective is far too simplistic and wrong-headed. It does spark an interesting discussion, with some in fierce debate, arguing the right and wrong, as the bottom line remains nowhere clear. It just opens further questions about one’s sense of morality and justice.
Uchihas literally were always causing problems. sure it would have been more realistic if some people cared but bro cmon man 😂
Uchihas were bunch of superiority complex clan. This is literally like bunch of Nazis dying, Good for Konoha.
However, it has been never known what could be the reason for Masashi Kishimoto’s downplaying the significance of the Uchiha clan genocide incident. Was ita deliberate decisionin the narrative or a mistake? Fans would continue speculating about the creator’s thoughts, but the truth will always remain unknown. And Kishimoto’s silence on this matter would also add fuel to such speculations.
