its cool kids dont understand the awesomeness that is yamato

just a break for this week should be out next week

yamato is the key character why naruto is how he is... without his special abilities, naruto wouldn't have been able to master the rasen shrunken

that fact alone makes him awesome but he is pretty smart and powerful swell

^this

not everyone see the importance of assisting.

all characters in konoha somehow assisted him...

jeah, because they believed in him, but that wouldn't have helped with the rasen shuriken and the result that his mind has grown thanks to that jutsu and he wouldn't be as close as powerful without jamato

Although for me, Jirayah's death made him grew up.
That's why the author used Shikimaru to comfort him because Shikimaru had the same experience with Asuma's death.

its both I guess

thanks to the rasen shuriken he has learned that a lot of power means a lot of danger even for himself
