The arc known as “The Fated Battle Between Brothers”was eagerly anticipated by Naruto fans, as it promised the long-awaited showdown between Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha. To this day, it is still regarded as one of the greatest story arcs in the Naruto series. The heartbreaking finale of the epic battle between the two brothers is also remembered as one of the most poignant and impactful moments in the series.

However, there are differing opinions on the arc’s greatness, as a recent review by an X user of the Fated Battle Between Brothers arc sparked backlash from the Naruto fandom.

Why Naruto’s Fated Battle Between Brothers arc was Criticized by an X User

A social media user with the username @LocalW_ and a passion for animanga recently expressed their opinions on one of the most cherished story arcs in Naruto – The Fated Battle Between Brothers arc. This arc marked the climax of the long-standing feud between Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha, resulting in the tragic demise of the older brother at the hands of his younger sibling.

This particular arc is widely regarded as one of the most significant high points of the series for several reasons. Not only did it uncover the shocking truth behind the Uchiha Clan massacre, but it also marked a crucial turning point for the series. Fans continue to praise it as a masterclass in storytelling, as it delivered an unforgettable experience for any fan of Naruto.

Despite being highly praised by user @LocalW_ on X, the arc was a huge disappointment for them as they labeled the conclusion of Itachi’s storyline as “utter garbage.”They further elaborated that while the arc started off strong with the intense battle between Sasuke and Itachi, it ultimately fell short when it revealed the reasons behind Itachi’s massacre of his own clan.

The user further explained that Itachi’s main concern was protecting the safety of the Hidden Leaf Village, even if it meant sacrificing his own family. This decision caused him to betray his own people and pledge allegiance to those who would continue to discriminate against him.

The user ended their analysis of this arc by stating that Itachi’s character was filled with conflicting traits, leading to inconsistency. They also expressed disappointment with the manga’s portrayal of Itachi as a tragic hero without any alternative choices.

As anticipated, the user’s post once again caused division within the fandom, with individuals engaging in heated debates over the user’s perspective and questioning its credibility.
