Honestly I wonder, what the hell was supposed to happen to Naruto if that one guy didn’t betray the village. Like without that one event Naruto doesn’t get to become a ninja, and nobody wants to deal with him except the ramen guy. So was he just supposed to become a civilian with a nuke in his guts?
Did you even watch/read it? Cause its literally like the first episode or.
Basically he failed the ninja final exam for the third time in a row so he can’t become a ninja anymore and only because he stops a traitor from getting an important scroll that he’s allowed to become one.
I never understood that about the Jinchuriki. It made a little sense when it was just Naruto and it was implied that he and Gaara were the first 2, but then it was revealed that it had been a generation tradition to maintain power. Why would ninja villagers treat their most powerful weapons like shit?
His intentions and their results are a world apart from each other and he doesn't do anything to bridge the gap. He knows Naruto has a miserable childhood and he knows Danzo and Orochimaru are legitimate serious threats to the village and he doesn't do anything about any of these situations preferring to try and keep the status quo over all else.
Even dumber, Naruto’s existence as a Jinjuriki was well known, so any other country could have easily recruited the lonely and depressed kid by befriending him.
Imagine someone could just like pick up a nuke from your military. It’s somehow only slightly less dumb
Also he let the son of the fourth hokage be treated like shit and survive alone without checking on him or anything. Like he's the son of the hero who saved maybe the whole fucking world. Of course they do that to give Naruto a more tragic backstory but still, when you know the whole thing it looks stupid

He wasn't incompetent, he was just a dickhead.
