Plus, we haven't seen much of Naruto's policy as Hokage so its a bit harsh to say he broke his promise.

Besides, as cruel as it may be, in their world it makes sense that they train them since childhood because they need to be as strong as they can be against strong opponents.Plus it seems becoming a ninja is a conscious choice.

And the academy and the Jonin instructors do their best to eliminate those who just won't cut it, saving their lives.

Plus, the mission ranking system is there to protect them.

Even in the Chunin exams, the proctors go out of their way to eliminate more than half of the candidates and make a strong point that if you continue on, the possibility of dying or being tortured is presented as real and therefore if they don't have to guts to ready for that they should turn back.

Sure I disagree on the idea of child soldiers on principle, but at least the system tries its damnedest to make sure they're ready.

I think he did that with Cloud and Sand kages, made a long standing alliance. Mist and Stone kages just kinda...know him.

Considering they all fought together in a war and relations between the countries have become more open, it is possible he did at least get on friendly terms with them.

For a system trying their damn hardest, there sure is a distinct lack of therapists

"So...what are going to do with all these weapons and the decades of combat training etc?"

"Keep them and keep training to kill people."

"...But we are at peace now and there is no one to fight for us grunts. You could probably kill anyone trying to attack us without our help?"

"Keep training the kids to kill like we've always done. Getting rid of the ninjas would mean no tourists would want to come to our village and we need that money to survive. Oh, and print more "Naruto #1" t-shirts."

Wrong, Sasuke was shown the Fireball technique by his dad and failed to pull it off, disappointing Fugaku. Then he trained his ass off to get it to work.

I wouldn't call it working by himself because Fugaku showed him all the steps and he just had to practice. He wasn't figuring it out on his own.

Whoops stand corrected then I misremembered the moment. I remembered the weak fireball and a week later the big fireball after training hard and I thought it was an interesting parallel with Naruto's toad summoning training.
because Jiraiya never told him to just put more chakra into it and it never occurred to Naruto himself. Because Naruto is dumb.
Apparently Jiraiya did tell him to put as much chakra as he could. So Naruto is definitely dumb.

Let's see if I can clarify this: Naruto was told to grind chakra together to make an edge. Fine enough. His answer should've been "Well, how the hell do I do that?"
Your points are perfectly clear and your correct on all of them.

I would like to point out that the training for summoning Justu was instead Jiraiya being lazy and not telling Naruto that the actual point is calling out the fox's chakra snice before he tried the summoning Justu Jiraiya told Naruto to exhaust himself.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops.

Think about it.

Naruto united the world under his banner and then lead humanity on a war against his world's equivalent of God.

The Tree's Roots snatching people was the Rapture, man! IT is Heaven! Naruto was the villain all along!

God was also trying to kill everyone, so really Naruto is more like the protagonist in a Shin Megami Tensei game.

The Protagonist can also pick a third option you know, at least Naruto did.

The third options are also evil.

Or suck just as much and only pretend things are somehow better.

The closest he came to brainwashing his friends was Befriending Sasuke. And considering that it returned him to roughly the state he was in before his evil brain chakra started kicking in, that is not very close at all.

He's brainwashed you, as well. It's spilling over into the real world!
