Discussion How Similar are Naruto and Yondaime?

matsyes · Dec 19, 2007

So we have had the big revelation a few chapters ago that Minato is Naruto's father. But that got me thinking, why is naruto so unlike his father. Apart from his looks there is harldy any similarity between the two. I know the excuse is that Naruto is like kushina. But you would figure something of yondi would also be a part of Naruto.
Yondi was supposed to be a genius of a Ninja, a thinker. Naruto on the other hand cant keep two thoughts straight in his head. The only claim to genius he can make is his unpredictable ideas. But the simplest ninja concepts escape him.
In jutsu selection also Naruto and yondaime are very different. While from what we have seen in Kakashi Gaiden. Yondi was a superfast ninja using straight forward moves against his enimies. Naruto on the other hand seems to be one of the slowest Ninja around with hardly any proficiency with the shushin no jutsu. He also tends to go for the big and showy justus, while his father was a silent attacker more like kakashi. (I take that impression from how yondi went to attack the lone rock ninja and how he attacked the entire collection of rock ninja after he separated from his team)
Can anyone tell me if I missed anything? If there is a difference of opinion on the topic or if you have any comments about this.
