I have always admired this manga for delving into pretty dark themes, but looking back at it in hindsight, it's baffling how Kishimoto stumbled upon the blackpill on accident and how it's sprinkled across the entire manga.
Pain's speech in particular really rings true when you look at how, for example, the Taliban are hated for defending their homeland from murderous invaders like Americans and Russians, all the while being labeled terrorists and "anti-peace".
For fuck's sake, the show literally has entire races, like the Hyuga and Uchiha, who are superior to other people only thanks to their genetic super power eyes that give them better means of killing inferiors.
I can't believe Kishimoto didn't rope after touching on realities this depressing. Then again, he is a millionare.
