Doesn’t this cement the idea of earth benders control people even further cuz we are Carbon based lifeforms?

This take actually makes sense in his world. I generally don’t like it when fanfics try to push ideologies within their books specifically those tied to politics but this kinda makes sense within the work, ass the Mc comes from a place where control over your desires and impulses just don’t exist and thus people would be killing no matter how hard it is to do so

Om gosh

I thought the difference was that shadow clones transferred memories? And that’s why he couldn’t use them to train

Why must you end on such a cliff … tftc

Really cool to see actual ninja history in a Naruto fic!

Chakra is a weapon. If a person has a weapon people will use it, and almost everyone has access to chakra. While not a catalyst for the violence and cycle of hatred, the existence of a birth given weapon does lower the effort to sustain the cycle

Tbf our mc rn comes from completely civilian origins and not only that but assuming that the most knowledge he has of Naruto is the general story beats, he wouldn’t know of any rlly starter training stuff like leaf sticking I’m assuming. So he can’t rlly train chakra or Justsus. So he can only rlly train his physically body which we see him do based off his results in the run

Tbf it seems knowledge of Naruto’s jinchuriki status is hidden so he isn’t rlly bullied so he lacks that same desire of acceptance. He still has it however, which probably comes the general isolationism that comes from being raised as an orphan
