Plenty of fan works portray him as merely TheFriendNobodyLikes to the rest of the Gang, or one act of compassion away from a HeelFaceTurn, or sometimes is outright shipped with some of the other characters. All of this, of course, completely ignores that he's the source of virtually ''all'' of the characters' suffering, personally had a hand in killing several characters, and finds all of the pain he inflicts amusing. And most of it is just because he looks attractive when possessing Konoha. Needless to say, CanonDefilement is firmly in effect with most works that subject him to this.
