History JerkassHasAPoint / Naruto

** Overlapping with VillainHasAPoint and HypocriteHasAPoint(since he was the first person shown using the jutsu), Orochimaru is also completely right when he states that Tobirama should have never created the [[ComeBackWrong Edo]] [[ResurrectedForAJob Tensei]], let alone revealed it to the world. Not only did Orochimaru nearly destroy the Hidden Leaf Village with the help of the First and Second Hokages, but Tobi managed to use the jutsu to create an army so strong that the Five Great Nations were forced to band together to fight him

* Sasuke gets this from time to time in Part I. When Sakura complains about Naruto and says that he is a BrattyHalfPint because he has no parents (which definitely strikes a nerve for Sasuke), Sasuke tells Sakura that she has no idea what Naruto went through, and after he leaves, she decides to start being nicer to Naruto. Shortly before the Chunin Exams, he tells her that she's as annoying as Naruto is and in terms of skill, even weaker than he is. During the Forest of Death, when Naruto and Sasuke are incapacitated, Sakura realizes that despite thinking herself superior to Naruto, she can't do anything when it counts, and goes through CharacterDevelopment as a result.

* PlayedWith in the case of the [[EldritchAbomination Nine-Tailed Demon Fox]], when Naruto heads out into the Fourth Ninja World War. In a conversation in his subconscious, Naruto declares that he will end the war himself, and won't let anyone down, The Nine-Tails points out that hatred and grudges have shaped the way of the world for as long as there have been shinobi, and the war is just another example of that hatred being brought to the surface, asking him how he expects to overcome it, if he's expected to ''use'' it. He then gets specific and mentions Naruto's failure to [[HeelFaceTurn turn]] Sasuke, and noted that he has carried that hatred even as far back as their first meeting as children. While Naruto [[HeroicVow makes it clear what he will deal with Sasuke, and end the war]], he has met a number of foes have largely been [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Zetsu copies]], and [[ArmyOfTheAges zombies of legendary ninja]] [[ICannotSelfTerminate who want to rest in peace]], before another example of this trope, Itachi, points out [[ChronicHeroSyndrome that taking it all on yourself]] can make you arrogant [[NotSoDifferent and no better]] than [[spoiler:Tobi]]. So, in one sense, Nine-Tails was onto something...

* Sasuke pointing out that the only reason Sakura loves him is because they were on the same team for a little while over three years ago and she had a crush and that she's willing to overlook multiple counts of willing atrocities and attempted murders for [[LovingAShadow a guy she knows pretty much nothing about]]. We even see early in the story through a flashback that it was basically LoveAtFirstSight and she was so insensitive that she didn't realize insulting Naruto ''[[KickTheDog for not having parents]]'' just ''[[SarcasmMode might]]'' also offend Sasuke "entire clan murdered down to two" Uchiha. It's blatantly clear to see the distinction in comparison to Naruto, whom Sasuke does acknowledges as his best friend because [[NotSoDifferent they mutually understand each other's lonely pasts]].

* Another example with the Nine-Tails. [[spoiler: When the [[BackFromTheDead resurrected]] Minato blames himself for all of the damage Tobi/Obito has caused because he never realized Tobi's true identity, Kurama is quick to point out that Minato had no way of knowing that Obito was still alive, and even if he had, it wouldn't have changed a thing; Kurama still had to be stopped, and the Obito Minato knew [[ThatManIsDead was long dead by then]], so it would have been pointless to try to reason with him.]]

** His initial belief that HardWorkHardlyWorks also just gets more and more justified as the series goes on.

* Neji is quite the ArrogantKungFuGuy at first, but his dismissive attitude towards Lee and Hinata does make sense. Lee is at a severe handicap due to only being able to use taijutsu, as well as a DangerousForbiddenTechnique that causes exponentially greater harm to him the more he draws on him. Hinata's kind nature and lack of self-esteem also hold her back, as does her difficulty in going against her teammates, to the point Neji utterly ''thrashes'' her in their fight. Of course, while Neji's not wrong to feel the way he does, he also is unwilling to accept the possibility of people changing for the better until Naruto defeats him.

* Orochimaru was the one who gave Tsunade the idea of starting a unit of medical ninjas to minimize battlefield casualties, though that was way before he turned to full-blown villainy. He was a recognized hero of Konoha, pegged to be the next Hokage and genuinely her friend at the time. The trope still somewhat applies as he was still at least a bit creepy, but not a jerk per-say.
