Ninjas without a Clan

>Minato
He might had no clan to back him up, but he was the genius of his generation surpassed the likes of Oro and Hiruzen Arguably had more potential than even Itachi.
>Might Guy
Pure hard work, also thanks to his father who passed down his secret forbidden taijutsu technique.
>Kakashi
Is the son of legendary Sakumo, genius of his own generation also given super hax eye on the top of it.
>Orochimaru
Wanked by Hiruzen to the oblivion as the genius snekboy
>Jiraiya
Had no talent, no clan, no super parent to pass him down super genes/technique, no kkg whatsoever. Hiruzen was too busy wanking the snekboy to even train Jiraiya. So yeah the fact that he came this far on his own is really impressive.
>Kabuto
Pure hardwork and implanting various kkg into his body. He does have talent in medical related jutsu tho.
>>etc.

I think that's a case for a lot of the characters. We simply don't know enough about their clans to know if they're significant because the story is so focused on Konoha. Even within Konoha we don't know much about the Hatake clan and many others. In early Naruto there was a crapload of jounin who we know little about but they were strong enough to make it to jounin level which early on seemed pretty damn weak in retrospect

That's a good point but it's also not clear if those surnames are simply left out or if they actually don't have them. There are many character whose backgrounds we know very little of.

Sakura seems to be from one of those literal who families that don't have any clan ninjutsu which would lead one to believe they aren't a clan focused on the ninja life.

It's not really "big clans", it's more like Otsutsuki bloodline as the only clans that consistently produce S ranks at a far higher proportion than the general population (possibly throw in Sarutobi and Cloud Royal family clan in here too). The lesser clans have kekkei genkai (Nara, Inuzuka, Hozuki etc.) but kekkei genkai ninja are typically fodder-tier. Actually from what we see, literal who people like Kabuto Minato and Jiraiya are more powerful than most clan ninja. So it is ostensibly possible for peasants to be born with Kage+ but not God level power

Sakura has a this symbol on her clothes, though. She might be from a very minor clan.

guy was from a clan but was a small clan the only jutsu they had was the hachimon

Namikaze is likely clan, but Minato was probably the most outstanding member of it. Just because a surname didn't get the same exposure as the alien clans or clans will these fancy tricks doesn't mean they AREN'T a clan.

>but kekkei genkai ninja are typically fodder-tier

Lmao no. And btw all the clans you listed don’t have Kekkei genkais, they have secret techniques which is different

Konoha is a joint of smaller clans that joined the senju clan,several are related in some way to the senju

Are the Uzumakis a retcon?

They never get mentioned in Original Naruto not even a single time. They are also supposed to be one of the most famous clans in history. Naruto happens to have THAT famous last name but no one asks questions

I think the ones that probably aren't clans are those straight up normal people we see walking around. Unless they also do come from clans and they just completely retired from fighting in wars and other conflict.

>Unless they also do come from clans and they just completely retired from fighting in wars and other conflict.

Even among the Uchihas there were normal people, like Sasuke’s uncles who owned a restaurant. Not everyone is a ninja I guess, either that or they are retired.

Does anyone find it weird that Rock Lee and Metal Lee are the only ones with a surname after their names?
Is Lee's family "western" or something?

100% a retcon. Kishimoto just needed a way to connect to the Senju clan because of that alien reincarnation thing he revealed in the Kage Summit arc and made Naruto's surname belong to a clan who happened to be the cousins of the Senjus.

Naruto being from this clan who had people who were wives of the 1st and 4th Hokage and had such ties that the swirl symbol is shown as Konoha's respect for their alliance makes his entire backstory make no goddamn sense unless everyone in the village was put under a genjutsu to forget everything.

Yes they are

>Itachi killed these non-ninja because they were SO much of a threat to the village's security.
What a hero. Based. Glad he listened to Danzo and killed these normies. They could have been Madara 2.0.

The Naruto storytime is slowly frightening me because not only is it redpilling me on what's actually canon, it is also redpilling me on what Kishimoto had and abandoned as the manga progressed.

Why did this people have to die?

They seemed so good and kind

I have no idea either. Did they even know about the coup? It seemed like a thing only between the NINJA Uchiha members.

>Tobirama was afraid of these people

>Tobirama: "You'd never know. We could raise their taxes by a small margin and once they see the bill they could awaken their sharingan and become the next Madara."

Was the Uchihas being hated/discriminated a retcon?

In Shippuden they say most people hated and mistrusted them BUT in original Naruto everyone talks good stuff and praise the Uchihas.

Sasuke was never discriminated because he was an Uchiha, it was quite the opposite. Rock Lee, Sakura, Kakashi, Naruto and people in general knew the Uchiha clan and respect them.

The group of Uchihas that harassed Itachi tell him that they have friends in Anbu so it’s not like they are isolated either. Everyone was disturbed when Itachi murdered the Uchihas, in fact he is considered the second greatest traitor of the village after Orochimaru for this.

xD LMAO

I always thought it was

The only Uchiha who had a bad reputation was Madara, and not even people from his own fucking clan knew him (Sasuke didn’t even know who he is at the beginning of Shippuden) let alone other people.
