Naruto attacks his enemies with words alone.
Naruto Uzumaki has always been a rather unique ninja. While shinobi are revealed to be tools at the beginning of the story, Naruto always questioned this idea.

It's proof that Naruto is always attuned to the moods of others around him. As the story continues, fans see Naruto try to help his enemies more and more. In many ways, this is Kishimoto's way of showing the villain out there. Naruto The world is like everyone else. suffering in their own way Of course, this doesn't apply to every villain. But also people like Gaara of Nagato who were traumatized from a young age.
Your words cut deeper than any sword, boy! – Zabuza
Naruto reached the deepest recesses of his enemies' hearts and reawakened something within them. This shows that Talk no Jutsu is his most effective technique when nothing else works. Perhaps the most memorable use of Jutsu comes from the series' Pain Arc, where despite seeing his village being bombed and his friends Some of his closest friends were killed along with his own mentor, Naruto stood by his words. He had endured heavy losses during this arc. But despite everything, he went to Pain and tried to understand his point of view. And much to the surprise of fans when he successfully transformed him into a good person. In a do-or-die situation, Naruto Uzumaki created a third path that no one had ever seen. And it goes without saying that this makes him one of the most unique ninjas ever.
In the Fourth Ninja War, Naruto used Talk no Jutsu again, and this time it was aimed at Obito Uchiha. Naruto saw a reflection of himself in Obito. The only difference being that Obito went down the wrong path and didn't have the right people around him when he needed him most. This is why he fought Obito as seriously as he did. Needless to say, Naruto Uzumaki could turn him into a good person as well.

Naruto: How Kaguya became Kishimoto's biggest mistake.
Kaguya is a very controversial character in Naruto, with fans considering her Kishimoto's biggest mistake.
Kishimoto himself mentioned Naruto's Talk no Jutsu and according to him Naruto Uzumaki also wanders the streets defeating enemies without killing them after the events of Pain Arc. According to Kishimoto, this is more in line with the Shonen series for whatever reason.
I will believe your word, Naruto Uzumaki, if there is such a thing as true peace. I hope you find it. – Nagato
Perhaps, in Kishimoto's opinion He may realize that children who read various stories will receive a very important message from them. For Kishimoto It was imperative that Naruto develop this kind of thinking. Kishimoto himself admits that although this method is appropriate for a shonen series, But he felt that it ruined the mood many times. Which is why interaction with Talk no Jutsu is necessary.
Counter Talk No Jutsu
Kishimoto comes with Zetsu and Edo Tensei as tools.
Because Kishimoto set a condition for Naruto not to kill enemies and use words against them. So he had to think of a way for the story to not be repetitive or boring. Of course, this caused big problems for him. And that is why he had to find a solution. The solution for Kishimoto is one that fans Seen in the 4th Ninja War and that is the power of Edo Tensei and at the same time the use of Zetsu. When it comes to Edo Tensei, fans know that even though these people have emotions, But they had to be destroyed one way or another. Naruto had no problem inflicting serious damage on them. Because these characters are no longer alive. And Kishimoto didn't have to worry about Naruto continuing the cycle of hate by killing others.
At the same time, Edo Tensei could be destroyed if Naruto's dreams were not prevented. This is the reason why there are so many Edo Tensei fans in Ninja War. And why do they create most villains based on pain?
Kishimoto also introduces characters like Kaguya Otsutsuki, who is revealed to not even be human. It was because of this change in the story that Kishimoto felt relaxed as Naruto defeated and possibly even killed his enemies. Because they were very different compared to living shinobi who had previously suffered from the world around them.
Of course, even if Kishimoto steps forward, But there are some points where Talk no Jutsu shouldn't work at all. But in the end It's also a part of Naruto's character and what makes him incredibly special. While this type of thinking may not suit every fan, it's what makes Naruto unique. And it just shows that in the end He has a kind and pure heart. and is a person who holds the will of fire Deeply in his heart
