Not saying I mind him finally acting like a ninja but it comes across as slightly hypocritical considering his earlier statements and merely reinforces my belief that he is a brat without a fucking clue who should learn how to shut the fuck up. Quite difficult for me personally to get behind such a protagonist. The fact that he felt the need to throw a tantrum at the dying Chiyo didn't exactly make him more appealing. How about some respect for the elderly, kid?

Well isn't it kind of showing a darker side of Naruto? Becoming more and more influenced by the demon fox, it taking over his body and enticing him to release it like in the first episode. Becoming alienated with his friends and such. Just speculating. They seemed awfully close in that scene in the first episode, like the fox was getting to him somehow.
