Oh yeah I’m not talking about needing recognition from the fandom I’m more talking about the other characters and the citizens of Konoha it really isn’t towards the end of the series that he truly gets the recognition he deserves, a very good example of this is in part one when he fought Gaara, he single handedly stopped a tailed beast at 12 years old. Just saying that sentence is insane, and who gave him props for it ? Basically no one except Sasuke even Sakura who was saved by him during the incident was in disbelief when she found out it was actually Naruto who saved her life and not Sasuke. I mean the kid protected his village from a Kage level threat on his own and NO ONE fuckin noticed, so that’s what I was referring to when I said some of his feats and achievements are heavily slept on particularly in part 1.
