Summary

Even though the eponymic protagonist ofNarutois have it away for his cavalcade of power - ups , it can be reason that he could have been even more powerful . Naruto ’s lover believe that his tragical past made him stronger , but there are two alternative version of the hero , both named Menma , who are strong than the original , despite never fall back their parents .

TheNarutoseries is notorious for its runaway power scaling . While the story started with blind , it ended in battle with gods . Naruto himself kept up in the shonen blazonry race with his various forms and ability , but Menma ’s non - canonic display show that he could have gone further , sooner . Given the only major preeminence between them is their backstories , it is clean that the ninja ’s tragical childhood also deprive him of an early power rise .

Menma Shows What Naruto Could Have Achieved If He Hadn’t Lost His Parents

Menma has appeared not once , but double , in two dissimilar rendition , and both easily outmatch Naruto in raw force . While well known for being the opposer Menma Uzumaki in theRoad to Ninjamovie , he also appeared as Menma Namikaze in episode # 427 of theNaruto Shippudenanime in a more heroic visible light . In either compositor’s case , the character expose more advanced techniques than Naruto has , with Uzumaki possessing sodding control condition over a fatal Kurama , and a smorgasbord of process to kick , while Namikaze is shown witha Nine - Tails Modethat is more brawny than what Naruto had at his equivalent age .

Granted , both are dreamed - up variations created by the Infinite Tsukuyomi , but the writers behind these iteration attempt to answer the same question - what if Naruto had his parent while develop up?Minato and Kushina were both powerful warriors , so it resist to reason that , under their tutorship , their son would have sooner come to grips with his condition and king as a Jinchuriki . It ’s plausible that Naruto flounder in his former days due to the lack of counseling , preventing him from achieve his full potentiality .

Of of course , Naruto ’s canonic story and evolution is the one that is close to the vision of the author , Masashi Kishimoto . Naruto follows the course of a distinctive shonen hero , defined by his determination and by how he sweep over a tragic past . By the end of the story , fans can more easy identify with the progression and growth that Naruto had over the years . However , looking at his substitute versions , Menma Uzumaki and Menma Namikaze , prove thatNarutotruly faced an uphill fight due to growing up without his parents .
