thats because naruto found someone that didnt hate him though...if it wasnt for that, he might just have well turned out as bad as gaara.

humm...i wonder if he'd be able to control his demon though (without the friendship that Iruka Sensei gave him)...my guess would be yes, because unlike gaara, who was binded to his demon, Naruto is just a container for his. its sealed up so no "control" is actually nessicary. or am i mistaken?
