It's a theme. Pretty much every saga has its own theme.
Zabuza arc - having emotions vs being shinobi "tools"
Chuunin arc - hard work vs genius
Naruto vs Gaara - fighting for oneself vs fighting for others
Tsunade arc - live for the future vs living in the past
Sasuke chase arc - fighting for bonds that were broken vs fighting for bonds that were made
etc....

As said before, Naruto's main theme is protecting your friends and helping others
As for the character Naruto himself, its more about gaining other's respect through friendliness and helping others.
Naruto himself was never about hard work. Sure, he worked hard to train and we saw those results but he wasnt meant to symbolize hard work. Someone like Rock Lee was.
I guess you are frustrated because someone born with advanced powers always beat someone who doesnt. Well, thats more realistic than someone who doesnt have powers beating someone who does. Its like that in real life, if you are born rich, you will be better off (educationally/ physically / emotionally)
And Deidara was meant to die in this battle...he's not even one of the important main Akatsuki members (such as Zero or Itachi) fighting the 2nd most important character in the series (and a major villian now perhaps)
Just because you have an advanced bloodline doesnt mean you cant work hard either
and you say Rock Lee looked pitiful but even after the losing fight versus Gaara happened, many people converted to Rock Lee fans. Even though he lost the fight, it put emphasis on Rock Lee's character
Since your theme is mistaken, can we close this thread
its just really frustrating seeing someone badass enough to best a jinchuuriki with well thought out plan, and a lack of materials, beaten so easily by an overpowered kekkei genkai. i understand that deidara was meant to lose this fight. i was prepared for that fact from the beginning. its an awful message to send saying that strong people are born that way. id be more satisfied if this fight wasnt so onesided. those damn eyes gave sasuke the upper hand in every play deidara made.

@RasenDori: Neji was pushed to the absolute limit against Kidomaru and won because he wanted it more, not because of his Byakugan, If that's any consolation. Though I agree, the power unravel all other abilities is almost textbook broken. The thing that saves it for me is that even though he can see through things he still has to find ways to exploit the weaknesses his eyes reveal to him.
You have never been one to mince words...This is very well thought and concise. I have to agree with this completely.Originally Posted by AssertnFailure
And personally...I never really liked Deidara much. I certainly thought he was unique and interesting. But he's kinda a one trick wonder. He makes birds/bugs with clay and Vampire D hands, then uses them to blow crap up. I don't think Deidara is really any big loss. Personally I think Tobi could end up being a much deeper character.
