Even without considering she's over 70 and you're a kid and only thinking rationally about the current fight... You can heal her later. You can make antidotes. The poison doesn't kill you instantly, it takes 3 days. You need physical strenght to fight. She can fight without moving, she uses puppets.

You're retarded, Sakura.

Sasori easily wins this fight if he just takes a step back before reengaging. He's already dealt the decisive blows. He pretty much drops all of his tactics and puppet master ways for them to win
>>
>>282561821
Becoming a puppet doesn't make you immortal, the human part still ages. IMO it makes less sense why he didn't try Kakuzu's jutsu or Hidan's Jashin ritual

Still arguably gives him more time to research/find his grail jutsu, and puppet body swapping makes his chance of dying in combat much less likely and the swap is instant unlike his 4 year thingy

What is this trope called
>>
>>282561821
Orochimaru wasn't nearly as knowledgeable as he liked to pretend he was. He barely knew anything about the byakugan, for example, despite growing up in their home village. He presumably gave very little fucks about the sharingan until Itachi obliterated his entire clan (he seemed to be totally unaware of the fact that you could harvest and swap them into a non-Uchiha body like Kakashi and Danzo had done)

>>282562065
Anon, pls. Kishi didn't think about the logistics
>>
>>282562065
it's clearly supposed to be similar to Orochimaru's dead summoning jutsu, except instead of requiring a human corpse to inject the soul into it gets put into a puppet instead. It would've been Sasori's actual parents, transferred into puppet bodies.

>>282562002

I mean I get that but then here she's saying she's using that very jutsu but transferring life into a dying/living person, so it's technically a whole ass other jutsu, not "the one I spent years creating for you".
>>
>>282562032
Ehhh breathing life into a puppet still sounds ass if it doesn’t turn it into an organic body
>>
>>282562149
>>282562032
I wish Kishi expanded a bit more with Sasori's expressions here. I get what he's going for with the dumbfoundedness, but could we maybe hint at some
>grandmother actually spent her life never forgetting me, crafting a jutsu for me just so I could have my parents embrace once again, so much so that the jutsu may cost her own life
?

like many things in this series you have to understand that most characters are shortsighted and nothing practical is ever done. It's why you can have shit like hyuga's getting kidnapped yet diabolical masterminds like Oro don't even consider getting Sasuke nor Kimimaro some breeding sows. Don't get me started on summon fuckery

>>282562152
in the Narutoverse, spirits are physical thing that upon death are literally harvested by the reaper demon thing. What Chiyo is doing is basically trading her own spirit for Sakura's because it was in the process of being extracted. Like what Third tried to do with Orochimaru. All of those jutsu involving death and resurrection are supposed to be different approaches that lead to the same end result. like how 2+2 and 7-3 both equal 4.
>>
>>282562220
Kimimaro had some weird disease affecting his body and he was like 15 when he died, it may have been impossible for him to reproduce. As for Sasuke - who knows? Maybe Orochimaru has his genes preserved and stored away somewhere and he’s just waiting for the right moment

He met Kimimaro when he was a child before he was sick. Dudes can have kids from the moment they can cum and he has super doc Kabuto helping. This is an extremely cut-throat setting where genes are a goldmine. It's just poor writing. Same for Sasuke and his 1 whore of a daughter

Sasori is a serial killer moonlighting as a ninja. I guess he gets turned on by hardcore Sakura is and the ryona distracts him. Chiyo is already established as the one Suna boomer who will do anything for her Grandson, even drowning him in Leaf pussy

Also that soul container looks incredibly handy. Converting yourself into a being of pure chakra that possesses normal objects is as powerful as it is ill-defined here.

>>282561817
The whole point of giving Sakura the antidote was so she could control her chakra and heal Chiyo, not the other way around. FFS can't kishi keep his own story straight for half a chapter?

I’ve seen dudes in places like gamefaqs message boards be a pain in the ass for upwards to 15-ish years, but once they get finally banned borderline nobody ever talks about them ever again beyond the initial celebration

if Sasuke actually was concerned with the the restoration of his clan he should've been all over Hinata or some other Hyuuga girl. considering the Uchiha were originally said to be an offshoot of the Hyuuga, they're the closest thing to Uchiha at that point. imagine if he fired off a dozen kids into a Hyuuga and there were a clan of Hyuuga-Uchiha hybrids running around with both sharingan and byakugan

I forgot to mention this last thread but jesus, how the hell is Kankuro supposed to catch up to this? All of his puppets are just old wooded hand-me-downs from Sasori, where on earth are you supposed to get the materials for the real good shit like these guys?

We won’t ever know if Kishi never shows Kankuro develop his own puppets after losing to Sasori.
We won’t ever know if Kishi continues to keep Kankuro a bum who uses puppets of others.
We won’t ever know if Kishi never plans to do anything with Kankuro in shippuden.
>>
>>282565008
he could make his own. In part one he already knew how to install different mechanisms. Outside of the human puppets all this other stuff is just applications of other ninja stuff we've already seen. You can add your own seals, jutsu tags, poisons, etc.
>>
>>282565008
>>282565046
Do we get a backstory of why Kankuro has Sasori’s puppets? Seems like a connection we might be able to explore, even if it seems Sasori is a goner now.

It's the Kanji for Scorpion, Sasori's own name is spelled with katakana
>>
>>282562621

Heh, and i was told One Piece was left leaning.

The whole puppet master thing in general is kind of weird because Chiyo and Sasori are related, but Kankuro is this odd one out, made even more glaring with the fact that apparently Suna uses puppets to increase their low numbers by proxy but I'm pretty sure the 3 characters mentioned are literally the only puppet users we even see
>>
What if Chiyo and Sakura chased Deidara while Kakashi and Naruto fought Sasori?
>>
>>282565078
No, but I assume it's the same deal as Monzaemon's puppets in that they're a kind of village heirloom and Kankuro gets first dibs as the Kazekages son/proved himself good enough to use them compared to the other Suna puppeters.
>>
>>282565156
well what kind of weirdo wants to use puppets when you can shoot fireballs or throw rocks? That said the puppet strings should be ninjutsu 101 because they have insane utility
>>
So... why didn't Sasori have a single human puppet outside the third kazekage?
>>

I mean to be fair Sasori was straight up using flamethrowers earlier
>>
>>282565215
What?
>>
>>282565218
he needs a scroll. Why do that when you can just skip the middleman and do it yourself? In general I don't really see much benefit at all to completely turning himself into a puppet
>>
>>282565246
Those aren't human puppets, their attacks are limited to basic puppet weapons (blades) and not jutsu. The ones with the sharingan were an anime-only addition. If even 1/10 of those were human puppets, Sasori could just spam endless basic jutsu to overwhelm them from range.
>>
>>282565277
>In general I don't really see much benefit at all to completely turning himself into a puppet
The way that the 3rd Kazekage puppet was able to keep using his kekkei genkai just because it still maintained his chakra from when he was alive is theoretically a pretty big deal, combine that with Chiyo's mastery where 1 finger = 1 puppet and you could theoretically have 10 powerful shinobi at your command, real question is just the ethics of turning peoples' corpses into weapons

That's because Kishi is a bad writer, not because they aren't human puppets. There's also Hiruko who was also human.

Pretty sure Hiruko being a human puppet was anime-only, even if it is cool.

someone joked about the idea of joining the Akatsuki requires signing off your body to Sasori in case you die, but if Suna was more hardcore that would actually be a good way to reuse resources

not the human puppets in general but he himself as a full puppet. All he gained was some mediocre weapons and a gigantic bullseye
>>
>>282565401
This is why Naruto has a million billion fanfics, there's a ton of interesting concepts that you can push to the extremes just with some thought
>>
>>282565392
I mean, that's two puppets by Sasori besides the kazekage confirmed to be humans by the anime. Considering how hard this entire fight hammers in how he's lost his humanity and just sees others as tool, it's very weird to assume the rest of the other puppets are all made of wood just because Sasori uses them stupidly(again, because Kishi had to hurry up and finish this four stage fight).
>>
>>282565322
>The way that the 3rd Kazekage puppet was able to keep using his kekkei genkai just because it still maintained his chakra from when he was alive is theoretically a pretty big deal,
Yeah I thought of that last thread. The fact the human puppets can run off a chakra reserve is really broken, you could effectively just store bodies of low-tier jonin and summon them one after the other for a near-endless army of jutsu-capable puppets. If the 100 puppets were even half-decent humans (assuming they were human puppets at all) then the fight should've ended instantly. Sasori's actual on-paper capabilities are way above anything actually written into the fight
>>
now I'm wondering if you could just make a puppet out of metal and basically have an actual android as your weapon
>>
>>282565531
Boruto actually had an arc that feature puppet robots, I think.
>>
>>282565162
>Kakashi and Naruto fought Sasori
depends on the poison bullshit. being able to instantly paralyze your opponent with a single scratch is just too worldbreaking. it's the strongest ability sasori has, as his puppets are super fragile. sasori is also presented as quite slow, he has a massive projectile/numbers advantage yet most of his techniques get dodged (obviously because the plot writing of the poison requires sakura/chiyo to not get hit more than once).

kakashi and naruto would win with the antitode, lose without it. realistically chiyo would've given them the antidote.
>>
The Akatsuki only contained Sasori, he would have steamrolled the verse if he was allied to the hidden sound.
>>
>>282565524
>If the 100 puppets were even half-decent humans (assuming they were human puppets at all) then the fight should've ended instantly.
At bare minimum it would really sell the idea that this guy ended an entire country, 100 jutsu-casters under the control of 1 guy is insane
>>
>>282565524
my understanding is that the puppets don't have a chakra reserve they just have the nature of the chakra they had when they were living. The puppet master has to inject their own chakra into them it it gets filtered out as the puppet's. Logically it makes no sense for them to have chakra reserves based on how chakra is supposed to work
>>
>>282565531
I'm pretty sure one of the Shippuden movies features metal puppets.

It's stated that it's like 'like a battery', which would imply that it IS a chakra reserve and can run out, but requires no additional chakra from Sasori to cast the jutsu unless the body runs out. This means that if he manages to kill people before they deplete their chakra in combat (which he should be able to, as he's leagues above the average jonin) then he should be able to create a massive army of jutsu-capable puppets that require little to no additional chakra to control.
>>
The logistics of human puppets maintaining chakra is really interesting because I doubt you mystically know all t they they knew in life, but it would still be a unique personalized spin to add more chakra natures indirectly to your arsenal, like making up an entirely new Lightning jutsu to use through the right puppet rather than just automatically knowing what the guy used when he was alive
>>
>>282563822
Kishimoto retconned it when the series became about Uchiha wankery. during the Chunin exams Kakashi explicitly says the Sharingan is an inferior offshoot of the Byakugan.
>>
>>282561651
Since his body has to have a big hole for his heart or brain or whatever, I assumed one of the hundred just sits nearby ready to have the thing fall into it if anything happens. Kind of like B.Mo from Adventure Time when he changes his batteries
>>
>>282561865
He literally committed suicide
>>
>>282565734
I don't think so.
>>
that checks out. I was thinking reserve as in replenishing itself but keeping what was already there makes sense. It's still bothersome thinking about how to cast jutsu that aren't simply chakra manipulation through puppets or how stuff like a regular sharingan would be beneficial in a puppet but that's a bridge that never gets crossed
>>
>>282565096
Any chance Kishi is smart enough to be drawing a connection to the scorpion and the frog? The scorpion cannot deny his nature, even when it costs him his life. Even the big bad akatsuki Sasori couldn't resist letting mommy and daddy hug him one last time, even if it ruined all his plans and fucked things up for akatsuki, he couldn't deny his heart's wish.
>>
>>282565162
It could be written well. No point in discussing Chiyo/Sakura versus Deidara, they can't reach him and the emotional connection is lost. Deidara clears and escapes with Gaara, fulfilling his mission. If he's bored enough to drop explosives on them, he can effortlessly kill them both on his way out.
Naruto/Kakashi vs. Sasori is interesting. You could definitely write the fight well, Naruto counters poison by spamming, but 100 puppets takes out endless clones effortlessly so Sasori actually wins the spam war. Kakashi using Kamui once or twice and having to sit the rest of the battle out works well with the fight ending fakeout when Kakashi blows his load to take out Hiruko or even the main body but gets tricked by puppet shenanigans. Then rasengan is literally the perfect ability when you have a big glowing weak point like Scorpion. You could write it well, I'll say it again.

>>282565105
OP is a sensitive piece of shit surprise
>>
>>282565401
Sasori being able to use his puppet's jutsu was treated as unique to him.
>>
What do you think of the Trap/Clones that are just as strong st the person they’re fighting and can stall any opponent forever?
Do we know how they work?
>>
>>282564174
This. Kakashi could use the sharingan without any issues because he doesn't have the Apechiha genes that lead them to engagenin antisocial behaviour.
>>
>>282566267
it was more Sasori not having any real emotional attachment to Akatsuki's goals, he was just there to presumably to study immortality. Once Chiyo revealed what her plans were for his parents, he lost interest in continuing living (having realised he threw away the chance to revive them) and decided to give Chiyo and Sakura assistance in hunting down Orochimaru instead (whom he had a feud with and wanted dead).
>>
>>282565413
Nta but tanking without damage sakura's punches it's pretty good, humans are full of giant targets to hit if you are strong enough to break hiruko

>i bet we will never see this again

you could wait like 5 chapters, or else assume Kankuro becomes kaze. and if the issue is that only Chiyo preforms this, is it actually so hard to imagine that a generational woman with a desire to give her life so her grandson can have a parent again might be capable of developing something that normal fodder never could?

i swear this is the dumbest thing in existence and yet you fucking subhumans manage to miss the point of a world built for losers

He's by far the worst shitposter in these threads, it's just that using him to namecall everyone you dislike, or that does anything he did, like drawing, is just a different way to shitpost.

I guess the most famous/basic/obvious one is the one Minato and Tobirama both used, where you touch 2 fingers to the ground and it's like a kind of sonar-sensing where you get a general idea of how many people there are in a certain area

>>282570101
Other villages have kage bunshin? Anyway I just thought neji using it, he can see for sure, to appear near the enemy and instantly stop his chakra flow
>>
>>282570152
From what we see, no, Kage Bunshin still seems to be a Konoha original. Although Tobirama did invent it a long time ago, so it's surely gotten around. But most ninja never use it. Not even the basic one.

Most ninja that we see use Elemental Clones if they're going to bother making a solid clone. Doesn't make sense to use Kage Bunshin in most situations unless you absolutely have to fool a byakugan user or somebody with that level of perception. Even then it costs way too much chakra.

>Anyway I just thought neji using it, he can see for sure
Sure, but he can already do that with Byakugan. He has 360-degree X-Ray vision that extends for like 10km. He doesn't need any buffs when it comes to sensing or seeing things.
>>
>>282570195
Minato was thinking that there might be kage bunshin
Anyway I was talking about moving under the earth to get near the enemy undetected seeing wit the byakugan and launch a point blank six palms
>>
>>282570302
Sure, if Neji had Earth affinity
I don't think we ever found out was his element(s) were
>>
>>282570336
Nta, according to the wiki he has fire, earth and water.
>>
>>282570568
yeah but that's all databook stuff, which is dubiously canon at best
>>
Theoretically most of the cast should have a diverse arsenal of elemental or supplementary ninjutsu, just because they all end up being Jonin
but they don't because int he world of Naruto, the best path to victory is to be a Specialist
Look at all of the top tiers. They all have a handful of jutsu, sometimes less than 5, that are absolutely perfect for their skillset and MO. They make the absolute best use of their best skills and don't bother learning C-rank Water ninjutsu just because they have the affinity for it
>>
>>282570712
That's just because Kishimoto is a lazy retard who has neither the desire nor the capability to make fights featuring more than 2 distinct moves.
>>
>>282570712
For example you can sum up Naruto's arsenal as
>Shadow Clone mixups
>Rasengan Variants
>Toad Summoning
>Sage Mode
>???
that's enough
that WORKS. You don't actually need more than that
>>
>>282570743
I will defend Kishimoto for once: it would be quite annoying to have to write every fight with everyone having access to vanilla shit. It's just not very easy to pull and maybe not that interesting
>>
>>282570743
no it's because he understood what genre he was working in
>>
>>282570746
You still need frog punch to oneshot MS Sasuke
>>
>>282570760
yeah you get it
like imagine if Shikamaru had access to every single jutsu that was "canon C or B-tier" of like 3 different elements

every fight would be nothing but
>why didn't he use water prison, that's a B-rank jutsu and he should have B-rank water affinity
>>
>>282570568
Earth and Water are busted, surely the strongest Elemental Releases
Wind and Lightning are kinda middling, seem very limited to me, especially Lightning
Fire is pure jobber
Of course, Yin / Yang Yin-Yang Releases are just cheat codes that make the Elemental Releases like jokes
When it comes to the kekkei genkai releases
>Wood is plot device-tier of broken
>Ice is secretly broken
>Lava is Fire 2.0, so jobber tier
>Storm is Lightning 2.0 and just better, but still nothing incredible
>Boil is even worse Fire
>Dust for some fucking reason it's broken as fuck and nothing really comes out of it
>Explosion is Deidara-tier, nuff said
>Scorch is yet another Fire-tier jobber release
>Magnet is just better Gaara-tier
>>
>>282569603
Best thing you can do is ignore him.
>>
>>282570760
Then he should have just said from the very beginning that ninjas have only a few moves at best instead of stating the exact opposite thing.

It's all entirely self-inflicted.

>>
>>282570778
>Wind and Lightning are kinda middling
Wind is the single best element and it's not even close
Water is a distant 2nd
>>
>>282566578
Don't reply to me again.
>>
>>282570746
>that's enough
Of course that's enough when those jutsu are
>One thousand men army jutsu
>one shot attack with a thousand variation jutsu
>the most broken summon with a thousand different tricks jutsu
>the equivalent of one thousand Super Sayan powerup transformations in a non-DB world jutsu
Yeah you don't need more that JUST this

still doesn't disprove my point, which is that specializing in what you're good at, and focusing on it, served Naruto a LOT better than mastering 20 different wind techniques

All he needed to know about wind was HOW IT WORKED, and then integrate that into the Rasengan. That's FAR more elegant and served him a lot better

Even the basic Fuuton: Rasengan is a powerful technique. You don't even need the Shuriken part.

we've never seen a hyuga use elemental jutsu at all so we don't know outside of barely-canon databooks
you'd think they'd be wind since they have the long-range wind fist thing that they used in the war
and the whole whirlwind/tornado thing
>>
>>282570791
Kakashi was originally notable because of the wide variety of jutsu he had. 'Copy Ninja of 1000 Ninjutsu'. the implication there being that most shinobi had maybe a half-dozen jutsu at best. Zabuza only had three (mist, water clone, water dragon; Haku technically just had his ice mirrors; Sasuke and by extension the whole of the Uchiha only had Fireball). The only techniques all ninja were expected to have some mastery over was substitutions and clones. Even then it wasn't a requirement, because Lee was able to graduate despite having no ninjutsu at all.
>>
>>282571063(me)
Report it and ignore him as training for the sasukeschizo

Fire SHOULD be top tier but for shonen reasons it can't

>>
>>282571016
They can get very cinematic but they make no sense. Fights in the original work are short and objective with a few hits and jutsu by each combatant. Anime Sasuke vs Orochimaru and VotE are part of what made anime watchers assume Sasuke was far stronger and more competent than he really was (which undermines the point of his decision at the end of part 1).

It also makes Kakashi look pathethic when you see genin doing stuff like that and Kakashi running out of chakra after using some raiton and doton against Tendo.
>>
>>282576985
The explanation for the gates is that your body uses only 20% of its potential, those 8 tenketsu if released remove this limiter on the body.
As they're tenketsu presumably it's in good part chakra.

>>
>>282578203
I feel like most manga adaptations are too close to the source material to really be considered 100% original. If they took more liberties when it comes to pacing and rewriting some scenes I'd be on the same page as you.

Kakashi clearly states that the Uchiha were a branch of the Hyuuga (picrel, where he also says the perceptive abilities of the Byakugan are totally superior to the sharingan), also three pages prior he calls the Hyuga "the oldest and most illustrious family" of the Leaf.
>>
>>282578304
I don't consider the manga at all when I think about anime, good or bad, I entirely value them as if the manga doesn't exists at all; if the pacing is poor because they make up badly written filler I treat it as one would treat a manga writing badly written filler: I criticise it.

A regular guy in Naruto is >>282568945, the only thing that Kakashi lacks is a kekkei genkai and he's as special as you can get.
He has a famous bloodline, youngest jounin ever back then, pupil of Minato, invented A-rank jutsu as a kid, a genius in basically everything he does
Sure, compared to the final bosses he's dirt, but to say he's close to a regular guy it's ridiculus
>>
I'm starting to think you guys don't like this series.
Capthca: HATNG

>>282578547
Neither Naruto nor Gaara were judged and then shunned, the Kage of their villages told the population to discriminate against them.

Of course we don't, you have to be 18 to post here, at some point you realize what the fuck are you reading

>>282578548
He's a regular "genius" if you want, he's basically where you can get if you don't have super special bullshit blood but super honed skill. Then comes Obito with reality breaking shit, what is he supposed to do?
>>
>>282578699
If Kishimoto knew how to write, Kakashi would win because he spent a lifetime training and learning more and more while Obito jerked off for twenty years. Instead it's as you say, it's a waste of time to try to become something more in Naruto because if you're not born better you're destinied to lose to someone who just has some broken innate hax and will rape you.
Neji was right.
>>
>>282578749
No, Kishimoto wrote that very well. Kakashi has more conventional experience, but Obito is basically a near walking god by that point. Making Kakashi pull out a win would be an asspull, but he also didn't make Kakashi lose because it'd be a bit disrespectful, so we get Obito sandbagging because he needs to get his heart pierced (he tanked it btw) to get rid of Madara

it's good writing, just in a whole different genre, we're past "ninja wizards" and approaching "reality benders" realm
>>
>>282578639
Yeah I just reread the chapters.
Hiruzen just said "Well what can I do if they hate him? Minato said he's a hero, well my solution will be that everyone cannot openly speak about it and just keep hating the boy for no reason given"

It's my favorite in the big 3.

Naruto was Danzo's victim not the kage, and I don't remember Rasa telling the population to discriminate, it seemed to me the sand was just dumb. Also Naruto was judged as a failute and he succeded, Gaara was considered a monster and became the kazekage.

Good writing is not about respecting powerlevels, it's about writing themes that make sense.
The moral of Naruto is "only people chosen before they're born can influence the world, everyone else is cannon fodder".
It's a disgusting series.

I would say the limit you can get to without cheating is Sakura, the limit you can get qhile cheating is Kabuto.
>>282578786
>Obito is basically a near walking god by that point
He had just a strong jutsu and cells from a prodigy when they fight, him being a god by that is exactly the reason people say trying to become something while being a normal in Naruto is impossible. Kakashi could have shown an auditory genjutsu, a trap, a counterattack maneuver with explosive clones to hit while he stop phasing, anything.
NTA
>>
>>282578897
Well there was no real theme going on there to imply Kakashi's "regular" experience should give him an edge over the busted mastermind terrorist who lead a team of insane monsters

Naruto has tons of bad writing but it's ultimately about connections and such, it's not that bad to see "chosen" people matter more

Yeah, the blood and political connections that you have to have in order to mean something.
Love and relationships and human connections don't make people stronger or better in Naruto, the Kage are not chosen due to how beloved or charismatic or connected they are with the population, the're all freaks of nature born better and mostly related to one another.
>>
>>282579005
The important guys end up having important connections though... with more important guys. It's just that the power is concentrated in a handful of individuals
>>
>>282579005
It's really funny of the sons of hagoromo indra was the genius who did everything alone while asura created connection and fighting indra discovered he was a bigger genius and defeated him alone
>>
>>282578606
every single jinchuuriki was treated like a walking nuke (because they effectively were). some, like Bee and Yugito, didn't give a fuck and it allowed them to lead relatively normal lives. Naruto and Gaara also eventually got society to accept them.

It's about the power.
If Naruto was about how human connections make us into what we are, if love and friendship were something that mattered, you would write a story where Naruto befriends people and learns from them how to become stronger, and the connections that he forms make him a better ninja, and he wins a desperate struggle because of what his bonds have given him, something that cannot be replaced by just BIG NUMBERS.
NO, this is not at all how Naruto is written, Naruto spends most of the time on screen antagonizing everyone, screaming how he'll be Hokage and be respected, never tries to understand other people, when someone expresses opinions that he dislikes he seethes and gets enraged because he's full of self-righteousness, and he becomes the Hero of the Leaf not because of his bonds with the people of the village, not because he has a lot of connection, not because of love, but because he got a fucking Super Sayan form and has BIGGER NUMBERS than Pain.
>>
>>282578947
Agreed, Danzo and Black Zetsu exist to avoid anyone else (and the system itself), taking responsability for the evils of the world, they just make the story even more juvenyle by having a guy infinitely retarded as the responsible of the horrors in the leaf, rather than it being an actually bad world wich Naruto will fix.

But that's... kind of what happened of you look at it. Most of Naruto's big breaks are related to his connections with people and the ones he meets, as well as his teachers.

>climbing on tree
He bonded with Sasuke there and he kept training harder because he empathized and connecting with the kid (Izuna?)
>chuunin crush
Powered up to protect his best friends. Trained with a new master for that too
>Rasengan
He connected with Tsunade to get there. Also connected with Jiraiya during that trip (ice cream scene)
>Rasenshuriken
He was a faggot for Sasuke. It's bad but it fits
>Sage mode
He had to take over after his master's death, he had to read about his master's ideals and we saw how he connected with him (in flashbacks, but also post-mortem by trying to understand him). He also had new masters and advisors to do that. It was a group effort, 100%
>KCM
Connected with Bee (started by connecting with Motoi to do so), connected with the village (by getting over his subconscious hatred) and finally connected with Kyuubi. Then he connected with the tailed beasts

He's still going CQC with one of the strongest Kage and fastest man alive. I don't care that Minato won, he made Minato sweat. That puts him above 99% of the world and easily on Kage level.

These are two entirely different things.

Kiba wont matter even if he connects with the right people.
But Naruto wouldn't matter if he didn't connect with the right people either.

Naruto isn't about effort > talent, and your birthright privileges will say if you have potential or not, but Kishimoto made it incredibly obvious (maybe too much) that connecting with people was one of the most important strengths of Naruto.
>>
>>282579282

>Naruto isn't about effort > talent, and your birthright privileges will say if you have potential or not, but Kishimoto made it incredibly obvious (maybe too much) that connecting with people was one of the most important strengths of Naruto.
Connecting with people gives no strengths in Naruto. Jiraiya taught Naruto because he's the son of Minato, not because Naruto tried to form a bond with him and then this was the base for growth. If Kiba wanted to form a bond with Jiraiya and become his pupil Jiraiya would not care because's he's a nobody.

That still required connection.
If Naruto didn't form a bond with Jiraiya that went beyond "teacher" and more like a father figure, he wouldn't have taken after him and tried to take over his dream, reading his books and such. He wouldn't have mastered sage mode without that.

He wouldn't have gotten KCM if he didn't connect with Kyuubi or the bijuus. That's as explicit as it gets. You're criticizing something that has NOTHING to do with connections. Yes you have to win at the genetic/fate lottery to be important but depending on who you are, connections will be part of it (especially if you're Naruto)
>>
>>282579266
>Most of Naruto's big breaks are related to his connections with people
That's not really true. All of your examples have not been the result of any of the relationships you're trying to associate them with, they were just events that happened. He would have learned to climb on trees regardless, he would have learned the rasengan regardless of Tsunade's challenge (or even Jiraiya's presence, the guy didn't give him shit to work with), he would have fought Gaara regardless (or, what, you think he'd just let Gaara kill him?)
>>
>>282579380

>>
>>282579504
>He would have learned to climb on trees regardless
He took multiple steps connecting with people that helped him train more, like asking Sakura for advice, befriending Sasuke on that tree training, and going back to train after he heard the kid's story. Would he eventually manage the same results without that? Maybe, maybe not, but it's fair enough to say connections helped him and were part of his drive there.
>he would have learned the rasengan regardless of Tsunade's challenge
Not really, he was 300% motivated because of Tsunade and the bet.
>he would have fought Gaara regardless
He would have lost if not for muh bonds powerup

And if you really want HARD, 100%, concrete barriers that he NEEDED friendship to get past without any doubt, that'd be KCM1/2 and the Bijuus chakra being lended to him.

Kishimoto didn't follow on his "efforts vs talent" theme from Rock Lee, but let's not pretend Naruto didn't have to connect with people. He did it all the fucking time.

Nta but didn't he master sage mode thanks to the hermit toad? I don't remember.
Also honestly, while I agree on the Kurama cloack mode the way the other bijuu gave him their power was far weaker.
Also I simply dislike when a story pretends someone's true power are his connection but that means he still is the only one important and the other either teach him or cheerlead for him, rather than showing more people standing by his side and being his strength.
Even his empowering of the alliance was just to protect them, and all of them are completely useless, including those who do something like Gai.
Pain was better on that aspect, where others are authorized to truly damage the big bad.

Speculation. He achieved the results he got so late he was actually sleeping on the morning of the final fight, so he might have gotten similar results but with more training time. Either way, he used connections to be better faster. It's absolutely fine.
>What does this even matter? You're arguing that he saved himself a few days of training?
Possibly more than days, point is that his connections made his training better and allowed him to make this huge breakthrough he wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

He did, but he was in the process of succeeding his master and running at 300% because of everything. Hell, he only got over his depression to start training with them thanks to his connections (Iruka, Shikamaru, Kurenai's baby adding to the "future generations" theme which is another kind of connection)
He spent a good amount of time in this arc trying to understand his master, it wasn't about big numbers.

You're arguing Kishimoto didn't spend multiple chapters showing them hang out, not that connections weren't important to this.

Actually he does meet and get in good terms with both of them. They're not best friends because he's a 12 year old but he made connections.

Did you even read Naruto or are you just retarded? He literally goes back to train to insane degrees right after he hears about Tsunade's story. That's absolutely part of his motivation.

What is an acceptable "bond" to you?
He has a tense, intimate relationship right now with her. Antagonistic in some ways but weirdly caring in some other ways. He heard about her pains and relates to her. He wants to prove her wrong, not because he wants to show he has a big dick, but because she's lost herself to despair and his world view is one of hope and strive.

Did they need to go drink together or something for the bond to be acceptable? Because I can tell you, this entire arc is about this link Naruto and Tsunade have. It's not even subtle, YOU CAN'T MISS IT
>>
>>282579970
antagonistic relationships are also bonds. It's a pretty consistent thing in the series especially for Naruto. It's pretty much the whole basis for his relationship with Sasuke which he later admits he should have just gone for friendship but was too immature

Sasuke was using the bijuus are mindless batteries. So Naruto was fighting 2v1 and Kyuubi gathering some nature energy was how he managed to get by.
Also Naruto was fighting to save his bond with Sasuke, while Sasuke was trying to sever them.

It might not make sense on a power system scale (like, your characters superpowers might not be directly linked to these things) but they're at the very least there narratively. You could argue he wasn't mentally well (after all he loses because he aims for the headband at the end).

Late game Naruto is far more zen and at peace, far more confident and understanding. It's not a surprise he can take Sasuke now

It's all about how invested the character is. Some bonds aren't mutual. Naruto gets easily invested into shit he probably shouldn't because of his upbringing and perpetual chip on his shoulder.

I mean it had to be Naruto vs Sasuke, Naruto jumping Sasuke with his gang would have been anticlimactic in many ways.
I guess you could say that fights often end up being 1v1s so connections and support is mostly stuff that matters before (or during for emotional boosts)

Wouldn't discard the frogs as mere instruments though

I honestly like the jumpings, the villain is stronger than the protagonists but is alone is a gimmick I like, and a reaspn I liked the ending of JJK was that it encapsulated this dinamic. Despite the frogs having little screentime I could agree with you.

This is possibly the worst example of "Naruto doesn't connect with people" you could have picked

This is easily one of the most intimate, earnest and most tender relationships in the series. Both would give their life to save the other

They're basically mom and son after that (kind of... maybe aunt instead of mom but you catch my drift)

It's actually a really nice development for once
>>
>>282580473
Naruto not summoning Pa and Ma was a missed opportunity, especially since he could fuse with them at that point
>>
>>282580390
Its simply about the portrayal, we all know the theme but in the end Naruto receives ridiculous power ups training alone and every single other character with just as many bond doesn't, while kabuto without a single bond become one of the most powerful and important people in the world.
>>282580390
Luffy gets in every single conflict because of bonds and almost every power up because of them
>>
>>282579967
Worldbuilding-wise, I wonder how exactly do you keep guys like Mizuki imprisoned, cause while chunin is a shitter rank these people are still relatively superhuman
>>
>>282578457
The obvious weak spot in his arguments is that none of them answer exactly why Hinata shouldn't fight, why she shouldn't try. Plus it's not all genetics that made her unfit to rule and weak. It's not like Hiashi put a lot of effort into making her his perfect heir or bolstering her self-esteem.
>>
>>282580598
this is kinda hot...it's like if Sakura had fat tits, learned from her mistakes, and actually understood Naruto. Tsunade is best girl for him but she's too old
>>
>>282580642
>every single other character with just as many bond doesn't
We're never shown other characters who go as far as Naruto to empathize and befriend their enemies. There's even a joke about talk no jutsu.

>kabuto without a single bond become one of the most powerful and important people in the world
Yes, the system can be hacked and some people get insanely strong without bonds. Nobody said "bonds are the only way to power", only that Naruto, the main character and the guy who embodies the message of the manga, grows stronger partly through bonds and paves his way through the world with what he learns from his connections. Kabuto was defeated and had to become a better man, Naruto was on the right path.

>>282561896
Naruto unfortunately does not hold up in a lot of places
>>
>>282580642
>it's a one piss fag
as expected
>>
>>282580642
you could very easily argue that Kabuto's bond and attachment to Oro drove him to those heights

It was Neji's fate to die for Hinata so she and Naruto can have a moment.
>>
>2nd-most prestigious genes of the K11
>only one to die
Make it make sense
>>
>>282580575
Tsunade has an insatiable lust for her oneitis and zero regard for any other male, as Kishi intended
>>
>>282580733
No my point is that in most manga the protagonist grow stronger to protect their loved ones or to surpass someone if you stretch the definition of bond
>>
>>282561727
Sasori is my favorite character in Naruto series.
>>
>>282580896
Naruto spins this in its own way and puts a pretty significant amount of emphasis on it. It's not perfect, but it's fine. The fact that you have a genetic/fate lottery at birth doesn't undo that.

Most of the tim I agree, gaara was a very good example
>>
>>282580684
It's a contrived scene, Neji giving a long-winded speech trying to demoralise already demoralised girl and making everyone see Hyuga for the infighting clowns they are instead of just making a short work of her and respectfully putting her to sleep.

Well obviously throwing hands is much more important for a leader than boring political shit. How else do you ensure that your cadet branch of slaves whom you can torture to death at any moment stays in line?

If he lived he would become a problem later down the line. He might kill someone actually important, we can’t have that!
>>
>>282581398
It's ridiculous Hiashi was okay with his daughter wandering around hell forest and getting beaten up at chunin exams. You'd think Hyuga would have a protocol for dealing with unworthy heirs, especially women. Was letting her frolic in the gardens and knit by the fireplace in peace too humiliating for him?
