Negativity appeals to me, I guess it doesn't to most.

Why is it when there's a mentally fucked up chracter all of a sudden he's the "realistic" character? Yeah there are a lot of people out there like Sasuke, they're either on medication, depressed, in jail, or dead. Of course people like that are more interesting as character, because they offer more depth, not more realism. He's not growing, he isn't developing, he's stagnant. He's mentally unhealthy. He's so obsessed with getting revenge that he's revolving his whole entire world around it, not giving any thought to other people around him. Hes only developing for the sole purpose of that
one goal. Everything he does is for himself and only for himself, not giving any regard to the people he hurts or kills in the process. His whole goal in life is to kill one person. What's he gonna do afterwards if he fulfills that goal? There's nothing he can do. The only other thing is suicide, if not that then to kill other people. As long as he's like thi he'll never know true happiness or anything positive in his life.
Naruto on the other hand is just as realistic, but unlike his uber-depressed counterpart he's a lot more healthy mentally. Of course he is evolving towards one goal, and that is to be accepted by people. Naruto just wants to be accepted by people, which isn't a feeling foreign to most people. So in order to achieve that goal he is willing to do any and everything for it. Unlike Sasuke though, Naruto is also growing, evolving, and maturing. From the beginning of th story his actions were not very much different from abandoned and troubled children who need desire attention and him wanting to become something other than what people think of him is also no foreign feeling from a lot of people out there. His need to protect people he loves and cares about is not foreign either.
Personally, in context to each other, both of their character developments are interesting since there is such a HUGE difference.
