#and now he’s training with whiz/beerus

[depressedhatakekakashi]

People can’t understand how sensei’s work in the naruto fandom and it’s so frustrating

Like if you look at any other anime you will see that the main character how multipule sensei’s, not because any past sensei is bad but because what they could teach them is limited

Iruka is there to teach Naruto he’s allowed to be loved and cared for

Kakashi taught Naruto the basics and the teamwork and connection he needed

Jiraiya helped Naruto improve his skills and protected him during a dangerous tume when the akatsuki was hunting him and he could not yet defend himself

Kakashi then came back in and helped Naruto create his own jutsu which official helped him surpass Kakashi (we see Kakashi say this)

To improve more Naruto obv needs another sensei/master, so Fukasaku comes in to teach him the Sage technique which he needs to defeat Pein

And then when it comes to Bijuu training/connection, Bee is the only one who can teach Naruto that. He’s the only Jinchuriki who 1) still has his binuu 2) has a connection with said bijuu that naruto can learn from (Gaara and Shukaku never had a similar connection). Kakashi, Jiraiya, Fukasaku, Iruka. None of them could teach Naruto about connecting with Kurema in any way close to Bee because they didn’t understand the connection between a jinchuuriki and Bijuu like Bee did

Each of Naruto’s Sensei’s serve a purpose. They help him grow in the ways he needs to grow, and actively only one is super shitty toward him at any point in time (stealing his money, telling him to stay in his sexy no jutsu form)

Instead of fighting over ‘who taught him best’ how about fandom learn the point of the story progression and Naruto’s specific needs with each sensei/master

Edit: i forgot one thing

Even after becoming the strongest shinobi in the world, Naruto still has things to learn and he goes back to learning from Kakashi

It’s Kakashi who preppared him for the day when he’ll take over as Hokage, and Iruka who is tasked with helping Naruto study to become a jonin.

So even after everything Naruto goes back to his original two sensei’s again and continues to learn from them, just not as a shinobi trying to become more powerful, but as a leader preparing to take on more responsibilities

"Really? Just like that?"

"Honestly it's that and the fact we're supposed to train. The only worthy training partner is Kakarot. Everyone else's power level in the tournament is rather nothing to speak of, especially the oni. We're here to train, are we not?"

"That is correct, but I am surprised that you of all people stepped down due to that. It's unlike you to drop out so soon, especially when facing Goku of all people."

"Honestly it's not often I decide to participate in a tournament. While my saiyan pride runs through me, I'm not like Kakarot who's always up for another fight no matter the opponent. Besides, let the others earn the victory. With us it'll basically mean victory even if we are restricted. I only stayed so that I can train and see how far me and Kakarot have gotten."

"...While as annoying as it is to see a fight I looked forward to watching basically gone down the drain I can see your point. That boy you've been teaming up with, will he make the battle at least a spectacle?"

"To be honest lord Beerus, I am unsure. At first I saw him as nothing special, but I've come to realize after my training sessions with the elven prince alongside his fights in the tournament that He's a quick learner and able to change strategies on the fly. Not only that, I could sense two power levels inside of him and one extra inside that ring of his."

"Two you say? Are you saying that he's a fusion all along?"

"No, I don't feel like it's a fusion compared to the oni. It's like there's two sides to him."

"...Whiz, according to what is possible, what is your theory?"

"Hmmm...I do sense the similar thing Vegeta is talking about, a dormant yet wilder side and then there's the spiritual side... After seeing and knowing a bit about him I'm theorizing that one side is his draconic side of things-- the beast within that has started to gain a soul of it's own, albeit incomplete. I wonder if his next fight will give us all a glimpse of what's really going on. But if that theory is true, then it means we're partially dealing with an incomplete soul. That or a soul that evolved, but that's a more outlandish hypothesis. As for the ring...I am trying my best to sense it's power level, but it is quite literally forcing me not to."

"Fascinating...I look forward to see what he has to offer now, if only to see what is going on."
