I missed the daily and want to talk about Naruto. Kankuro IS fucking cool and I will not accept slander of him.
>>
>>281926575
It kinda sucks how he's the only puppet master in the entire story other than Sasori and Toneri but he never even builds his own dolls.
>>

Yeah because the retard OP waits until the thread is about to expire and then dumps, instead of waiting and posting a new thread.

Like a full on kabuki sort of thing, like kind of what Jiraiya has going on whenever he does his big poses? It'd be cool but I feel like it wouldn't mesh well with the aesthetics that Suna has of being a dry, dirty shithole.

The problem with him isn't his personality, it's just that he sucks as a puppeteer because he's worse and less interesting than Sasori in every way. It's a similar situation to Neji and Hinata's fighting styles.
>>
>>281926575
Haven't gotten the chance to slander him yet, just be prepared to try to defend the reveal that he never made a single one of his puppets or that he gets offscreen'd as if he were Tenten

>it's just that he sucks as a puppeteer because he's worse and less interesting than Sasori in every way.
In retrospect, is Kankuro the first sign that most of the Part 1 characters are going to get horribly powercrept? The most straightforward example most people would think of is Guy and Lee, but I'm pretty sure Kankuro never gets even close to the wacky shit Sasori and Chiyo pull off, and a lot of the other Part 1 characters share a similar narrative fate
>>
>>281927732
He does get a power-up later, by stealing Sasori's body... which does not help him beat the allegations that he is a fraud mooching off Sasori's hard work.
>>
>>281927808
The fact that Kankuro's arsenal was revealed to be all of Sasori's old puppets and not his own really made me lose any respect I could've had for his character.

Is it any different from other ninjas spamming other people's copyrighted jutsus?
>>
>>281927626
to be fair said Genin is the jinchuriki that stopped Gaara from rampaging just a few years back and the whole team was already in her office when she dispatched it
it would take longer to asses the situation, assemble and inform a new team for said emergency
>>
>>281928018
Good thing Tobirama died before he could implant a written signature system with terms and agreements before you learn and use someone else's jutsu.
>>
I hate the 4th War Arc with passion but damn I really miss Naruto
>>
>>281927626
Also their jinchuriki.
>>
>>281928018
At least Naruto and Orochimaru did improve a lot on his jutsus (Shadow Clones and Edo Tensei). Meanwhile Kankuro is still a shittier puppeteer than both Sasori and Chiyo even when he uses their puppets.
>>281928076
Said genin is also the jinchuriki of the village. Tsunade sending him to deal with the super powerful terrorists who are known for kidnapping jinchurikis across the globe is honestly more retarded than her sending a bunch of genin to retrieve Sasuke from Orochimaru.
>>
>>281928359
Based on the filler hell, Tsunade seems to believe that she has to to send Naruto on every single mission the village has, even the ones that don't involve his designated ninja squad or the ones that already have a full team taking care of it.
>>
>>281928359
Neither Naruto or Orochimaru improved on the techniques. Naruto could just spam a billion of them and Orochimaru was actually worse at the Edo Tensei than Tobirama was, which is why the revived Hokages were so weak during Konoha Crush.

Honestly, I don't see the point of Hinata having a sister. You could remove her and nothing for Hinata's character changes. Like, you could've just had Hiashi have Hinata fight a random Hyuga child to display his further disappointment in her.

I think Hanabi works as physical representation of Hinata's weakness and the expectations she didn't meet, because if your only point of reference were the konoha girls and Kin, you wouldn't really believe the comments about how much she sucks.
>>
>>281926575
Kankuro suffers from being a gimmick ninja.
His gimmick is cool, but at the end of the day it's still a gimmick.
>>
>>281928832
What I don't understand is why Hanabi doesn't have the forehead swastika?
If she's the younger sister of Hinata, doesn't that make her the branch family, the same way Hizashi was despite being Hiashi's brother?
>>
>>281926575
Funny enough the daily made me realize he's actually undefeated in Part 1, if we're also going by the same logic as Shino (i.e. a tie technically isn't a defeat):
>beat Misumi
>tied with Shino
>beat Sakon/Ukon
Pretty good for a side character
>>
>>281930121
Kishimoto 100% didn't have the branch seal in mind when implementing Hanabi into the story.

Tbf, she sent Nauro (their jinchuriki nuke), Sakura (a medic personally trained by her), and Kakashi (hokage level jonin).

Honestly she sent a very stacked hitsquad lmao. Now if she sent Kurenai's team, that'd be insulting.

Saw a thread on >reddit where a lot of people said Itachi was the MVP of the war. Excluding obvious choices like Naruto or Hagoromo, Onoki was the true MVP.

>invaluable in the desert fight against Gengetsu and Muu
>did the most against the meteor drop
>made Gaara and Ay stronger
>saved the Gokage from Flowering Trees
>took out his own Susanoo clones and saved Ay
>with Tsunade's extra chakra, managed to take out every Susanoo clone in one shot

Itachi releasing Edo Tensei was practically useless since Madara just took control of his own and there were only like 3 others who were still around.
>>
>>281935449
Tobirama was the real MVP

>>281935651
Okay that's a based answer.

Hey the Naruto fillers between part 1s ending and Shippuden were actually fun
>>
>>281929121
kiba sister was in multiple fillers, plus she also has scenes in the war
***hanabi***? she only had minor appearances once or twice back in the chuunin/invasion arc, and I only remember her for naruto ultimate ninja 3 anyway. so yeah i remember her mostly because of a ps2 game not the anime lol

You now realise that if Kankuro was more competently written he would've taken Sakon's body and turn it into a puppet for him to use.
(not sure how Sakon's kekkei genkai would come into play after he gets turned into a puppet, especially since he was already fused with Ukon, but I think that would've been interesting to see).
>>
>>281933605
Kabuto said that both he and Orochimaru improved the original Edo Tensei.

>>281936567
Puppet Sakon/Ukon would have their wood fuse with the wood of other puppets to create an amalgamation. A super puppet.
>>
>>281936567
A puppet that regrows lost limbs and can evade people's body would be pretty good.
>>
>>281926575
Kankuro is probably my least favorite character.
He's just an arrogant ugly gay looking faggot.
>>
>>281936907
Would they really be made out of wood, though? Sasori said that humans turned into puppets are just human bodies with their organs and blood cleared out.
>>
>>281937205
Wouldn't they rot if it was pure skin? I know Sasori replaced his entire body with a puppet with only his core being organic.
>>
>>281937493
I assume they're like taxidermied animals, so probably not.
>>
After rereading part 1 who would you say is the most generally underestimated character from there?
>>
>>281938747
Naruto honestly. They thought he'd get whacked by Kiba, then definitely by Neji, and he proved them wrong. Too bad he was mostly shit when Shippuden started.
>>
>>281938809
I mean by the general audience, not in-universe.
>>
>>281938747
People tend to consider Neji a jobber because of how irrelevant he becomes in part 2, but gentle fist is genuinely busted. Judging by how he used it against Kidomaru, he could probably cut through the susanoo like a hot knife though butter. Hell, I'd say that even Hinata is underestimated by the fanbase.
>>
>>281939852
Yes, the byakugan is constantly mocked for not getting dozens of cheats like the sharingan, but if it was used it would have been really powerful.

He was indeed like 80% of the kage's strength in the fight against Madara but let's not forget that the fight ends with pic related and that in the large scheme of things the only thing that mattered was Kaguya's sealing and keeping team 7 and Obito alive to help them achieve that.

The actual underrated MVP was Orochimaru since he is the one that gave the ninja alliance actual firepower that prevented the war from ending up on a Madara/Obito curbstomp with Naruto dead, but I guess we can also thank Itachi for that since Sasuke would have never brought back Orochimaru without him.
>>
>>281939852
>Hell, I'd say that even Hinata is underestimated by the fanbase.
Hinata is both extremely underestimated and overestimated, no inbetween.
>>
>>281927106
So many underutilized abilities.
>>
>>281941631
I think that's a problem with chi point strikers in fiction in general. They tend to be pretty op since one hit from them is enough to knock most opponents out. Generally speaking, Neji doesn't really need to do the 64/128 palm strikes move since one single hit to the heart should be enough to kill his target.
>>
>>281935651
THAT'S MY HOKAGE
>>
>>281946732
It's also the anti-fire, as it isn't remotely gruesome it can easily be used even in picrel as a oneshot, without showing them burning alive or being bisected.
Naruto in the first part showed people burning alive tho.
