>>282704678What a fucking cunt.
>>282704842>does jackshit>acts like a cuntNaruto females...
>>282704693>your body hasnt fully recovered from the rigor mortis yetIf he was dead long enough for that to settle in there'd be a lot of unrecoverable damage to every organ.
>>282704777>aww she's taking a lil nappy :)lmao Naruto you fucking retard
>>282704710>Kishimoto puts the girl who first appeared in the anime in his manga now.Really looking back, this entire arc was just Kishimoto making the manga a glorified storyboard for the anime.
>>282704777>"THAT jutsu" again
>>282704968>>282705008Kino
>>282704897The people in this series pop out and insert eyeballs like light bulbs. Rigor mortis is just muscles being tight here.
>>282705030Deidarabros, we're unstoppable
>>282705030DEIDARA THE SURVIVOR
!?
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!How did Deidara escape Neji's 360° km wide, x-ray sight?
So could Edo Chiyo just constantly revive people with this jutsu without any drawbacks? Could Obito have used her to revive Madara?
!!!ENTER Chapter 280: Trust!!END Conclusion to the Kazekage Rescue Mission arc Tomorrow beginning Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance Mission arc: The Search for Sasuke!!
>>282705105ENTERTHE WORST FUCKING CHARACTER IN THE SERIES
>>282705078>>282705105This scene makes no sense given the developments later
>>282705101As long as there's a bunch of sacrifices for the edo tensei line up, sure. I'd assume the life force being used would be the one of the living being used to host the reincarnated soul
>>282705105This mysterious masked man... something about his appearance and name seem familiar, but I can't put my finger on it, bros...
>>282705105This masked fella looks like a pretty cool guy
>>282705105Mystery nigga>>282704710Cute Suna hoes. Gaara be pulling.
>>282705057>the ringMystery....
>>282705157I heard he is hyuga
>>282705105Well, we don't know anything about this orange masked character as of now, but surely him and Zetsu have no relation with one another judging by how they interact, right? And it's not like they have any reason to pretend since they're all alone.
>>282705078Is Zetsu gonna eat Sasori's puppets body, too?
Guys, this might sound crazy, but I think the guy in the mask might be Obito Uchiha. They have the same spiky hair and the orange mask is like Obito's orange goggles.
>>282705030how did he do this without arms? It doesn't make any sense
>>282704643kill yourself narutard
>>282705250He used his toes.
>>282704732being bullied in school is slightly different that your own uncle trying to kill you (ordered by your father) when you were a child, also outright said everyone hate you before killing himself with a bomb nonetheless.
>>282705105Why didn’t he help Sasori and Deidara get two Biju in one outing? Is he dim or something?
>>282704643Nice hat Zetsu
>>282704814wait so people knew about that jutsu, I thought it was super secret even to know it existed
>>282704710I am still beyond miffed that they put this cutie anime filler character in the manga and she didn't get with Gaara.
>>282704897Ninja magic, ain't gonna explain shit.Kishi didn't think about it, and neither should you.
>>282705105THE GOODEST BOY HAS ENTEREDI remember back in the day, people LOVED silly Tobi. He was a big fujo magnet. On that note, sometimes I wonder how Tobi felt about having to be 'like this' for so long
>>282705030>somehow dug underground so fast even a sharingan couldn't see anything >or Lee, or Guy, or Neji>and did so without armsSubstitution is treated like it just grants you 5 seconds of invisibility and no-clip.
>>282705249lol, are you insane. That would be too obvious.
>>282705105I bet this means that Zetsu is a plant and Tobi is infiltrating Akatsuki.Maybe he's from Konoha even, some established character.
I can't believe Yondaime-sama was so depraved to dig up, resurrect, and reconstruct his student to have a sharingan in his ranks even though he's brain-damaged now. He's pure evil. Naruto needs to stop this man.
>>282705105Is this the first time we meet Danzo?
>>282704837how far has Suna fallen that fucking Kankuro is the star of a unit that once included beasts like Sasori and Chiyo?
why is Naruto getting all this credit?why is he getting ANY credit?he didn't do anything.
>>282705395>Zetsu is a plantObviously. A venus flytrap
>>2827054393 puppet masters in the entire series. He is the star by default
>>282704842She's right Pity is not a good thing
>>282705105what was the lore explanation behind the trolololol personality again? it's so jarring looking back
>>282705462Kishimoto remembered that Naruto was the MC and had to do same last minute wanking.
>>282705462eh buddy, little question, what is the name of the anime? right NARDO
>>282705462Seeing as how he's still genin, he hasn't been getting any credit for anything he's done for the whole series.
>>282705462he guilt tripped the old lady on a level that nobody thought was possible
>>282705484He's copying one of the unique Zetsu clones for a disguise. No one would suspect the mastermind of Akatsuki to act so goofy.
The next arc is lame too, but we ENTER a pretty based character, though.
>>282705578Yamato isn't that good.
The fact that this Tobi character appears right at the end of the first timeskip arc after the Gaiden made it so glaringly obvious.
>>282705095It's only 359°.
>>282705057Bro speaking like it was just Tuesday.
>>282705661People spent years pretending otherwise
>>282705741it was too obvious. That was the entire counterargument. Who would have thought he'd actually follow through on something that obvious
>>282704777I wonder if that jutsu could work on an Edo Tensei zombie, or if an Edo Tensei zombie could use it.
>>282705781The characters never suspected it, so it was supposed to be a reveal that was shocking in-universe. The readers were supposed to think about what the fallout would be.
>>282705727Deidara is a pro.And he knows Kakuzu (also a pro).
*jiiiiiii*
>>282704837Still comical that Team Gai is just HERE, they feel so out of place>>282705105Holy shit, this guy looks so... COOL...
>>282705105I have so many mixed feelings on this character. He's great in so many ways but also... yeah. It's just so hard to really tell what I think and feel about Tobi.
>>282705484my headcanon is he's used the Tobi persona before in some completely unrelated scheme and is just recycling it now.hence why Zetsu is familiar with it and just plays along without skipping a beat.
>>282705930I feel Kishimoto had to smokescreen with Madara when the fandom figured his identity out after seeing him once.
Tobi would have worked for me if Obito was genuinely brain damaged and insane.Him merely pretending to be retarded for no real reason is dumb.
>>282705105ENTER AGAIN
>>282705105Man, this guy seems really fucking COOL for some reason?!
>>282705900Mating Press!
if there's one good thing to be said about Naruto's filler, it's that it gave ample time for the otherwise ignored characters to get screentime and characterisation. My favourite is the arc where Anko, Ino, Shino, and Naruto all get partnered up. it's such an offbeat assembly, and it shows how Ino really is just Sakura but better
>>282706252>Anko, Ino, Shino, and Naruto all get partnered upIf this was Naruto's squad form the start his life would have been so much easier>Shino is a actual bro>Ino is actually nice to him>Anko won't just ignore him like Kakashi Naruto got fucked with the 3 worst people
>>282705105ENTER my assFuck him, fuck Izanagi and FUCK UCHIHAS
>>282706195
>>282706407is getting molested better than getting neglected?
>>282705105>>282705484I think Obito was just afk and was letting Tobi use his body Or he is mentally ill and is pretending to be how he was before his body got crushed
>>282706445Kakashi was already doing both
>>282704897Kishi has no knowledge of medicine. Or physics. Or choreography. Or chemistry. Or war. Or...
>>282706461> Grown ass man still thirsting for a dead 13yo girlYeah I'll have to go for the second one, chief
>>282706416>ENTER my asswith pleasure
>>282704678>"Gaara is Kazekage"Yeah, and he got low diffed by Deidara. Fucking embarrassment of a Kazekage.
>>282706566Come on, his priority was preventing the fucking village from getting nuked.
>>282706566at this point Deidara has shown too much power to mock Gaara for losing. If anything his skills made some following akatsuki members look like jobbers and his death made anime-onlys realize he's a hack.
>>282705375Also Iframes.
>>282706644*kishi is a hack
So it begins
>>282704949>>282705321Turns out Matsuri actually appeared in this chapter first, the anime was still in the early stages of post-SRA filler hell when this chapter and the arc that featured her wouldn't come out for another two years, right before Shippudden started. I guess someone at the studio really liked her design and decided that this random Gaara fangirl needed an origin story
>>282706566Didn't Mizukage get bodied by a Mist hobo?
>>282705105his appearance is so quick after the last arc, it's pretty obvious who it is. like kishi wanted everyone to know from the start. i can imagine a scenario planned that tobi had amnesia after his accident, instead of pretending to be retarded.
>>282705683Could it be, that this masked fella is actually...
>>282705030BULL FUCKING SHIT DEIDARA DESERVES TO GET GREAT SNAKE ESCAPE'D
>>282706407>Anko won't just ignore himwell.. she didn't really seem to give much of a shit when it looked like he drowned. Ino was the most concerned. She's got serious 'team mom' vibes, Ino is pretty underrated
>>282704710Kankuro really warmed up to Naruto, huh?
>Anon's have completely turned around on Deidara in the Great Snake Escape because of recent chaptersNever thought I'd see it.
>>282705030>>282705057It's funny how every says it's bullshit Sasuke escaped but Deidara literally escaped the exact same way when both of his arms were cut off
>>282706252It's funny for as much a fan bitched about the constant fillers, they did a lot of the heavy lifting for character interactions and world building
>>282705285That'd be exposing himself too early.
>>282706748Anons already knew Deidara was based since the first storytime. Sasuke robbed him. Deidara won that fight.
>>282706759shame we never got to see Anko unleash her curse mark. would've made for a cool transformation for games.
>>282705169Gaara penis probably doesn't work.
>>282706252There's nothing wrong with the filler when the show is already over. It was only agonizing watching it as it aired. And some of the war filler that made some canon episodes half filler.
>>282706846>Deidara does a substitution jutsu with no arms while Naruto has him pinned down>Escapes Might Guy and his team with no arms>Escapes the Byakugan by going underground This is fine >Sasuke summons a snake and hides in it's mouthREEE
Hiashi won.
>>282704710>Shikamaru mentioned AGAINI know it makes sense for Kankuro cause they were chatting a bit at the end of SRA & his sister has developed a relationship with the guy. Alas, the Shikamaru fatigue is starting to get me AIEEEEEE MAKE IT STOP
There's a lot more >..............in this arc than I remember>>282705250>>282705375I like how this is also totally unnecessary given there's a tunneling character in the Akatsuki AND they're about to introduce Tobi who has warping powers. So many ways for Deidara to be saved in ways that would actually make sense.>>282705078>>282705105And this is reminding me how much I liked Tobi before "that" arc and "those" reveals.
>>282707037>blah blah blah>heh you're not the first to tell me thatAAAAIIIIEEEEE SAVE ME HIDANThese threads are getting cartoonish in their complaining
>>282707037Not only Shikamaru was wanked in the manga, he was wanked in the TCGPicrel was a three-of in every competitive deck while it was legal and every deck had to find a way to play around it
>>282705105Holy moly, it's Sasuke from the future
yet another oneesan added to the list who fall for Narutoit just keeps happening
>>282705274hey sitting on a swing set while adults look at you and say "ugh so annoying" is just as traumatic as your own father repeatedly trying to assassinate you while also not being able to sleep because a giant monster would come out and kill everyone.
>>282707169>mental power: 4Considering what's coming up soon, that makes sense>>282707212>>282707212>Boruto would actually use this premise
>>282705781Anyone who isn't stupid enough to make an ocean out of a puddle. A lot can be said about Kishi's writing, but for this I commend him on not subverting the reader's expectations like it was all the rage at the time. The character was presented right after Kakashi Gaiden deliberately, giving the audience a massive hint as to who is behind the mask. A bigger hack would have revealed that Tobi was actually Jiraya or something equally as retarded just to subvert expectations and cite "it would have been too obvious if the man behind the mask was who I gave you every obvious hint it was"
>>282705105>TobiHoly shit, Tobirama???
>>282707436I think it's meant to be an anagram of Obito
dayumm, she got even hotter
>>282707564>Hot as a child>hot as a teenager>hot as an adultImagine how hot she'll be as a grandma
>>282707564Naruto should have married InoImagine the insane mind transfer things their child could pull off
>>282707588wait that reminds methey were 12 at og naruto2-3 years time skip for shippuden, that makes it 15 at mostwhen I was watching the kaguya episode, naruto said it's his 17th birthday. when did that time skip happen?? I don't remembernow I'm watching #484 and well, I find this
>>282705356Hilarious. I wonder whose idea it was.
>>282707564>>282707582Ino was hot and broken if you think about it:> change minds> cut my "own" throat> quickly change bodies backGod why sakura is so fucking useless, I respect Naruto more after being paired with a fundamentally shit team, I like Kakashi but he even implies he's just a shinobi and not a teacher
>>282707668>God why sakura is so fucking uselessDid you speedread this arc?
>>282704710>Hired actors
>>282704710where the sand boomers out of touch? No it must be the children who are wrong
>>282707614they do have a weird chemistry whenever they work together. and they also have a fondness for gardening, which means they have something to bond over.
>>282704777Naruto is so fucking retarded Also I hate that kishimoto does "that" dialogue trope every other chapter
>>282704860Flashback to the previous chapter...again...
>>282704937What are you talking about? She made up her mind before rejoining with the rest and Naruto being a angry teen
>>282707880boobs
>>282705030Is deidara the most blatant power creept character?>Loses both arms, just mildly flinching both times >Can perform jutsu without hands despite it being established that you have to do a sing to do ninja magic >Somehow does ha d to hand combat with only a knives in his mouth then escapes for a second >Escapes again by detonating a clone he conjured up without hands and then digging though the earth >All this in front the fucking Prodigy of the hyiuga who has btw x-ray camera hacks
>>282707880>Sakura>bouncyc'mon now
>>282705078>>282705204Doesn't Kankuro get the Sasori puppet later?Don't know why Zetsu left it there for him, is it because he couldn't eat it so he didn't know what to do?
>>282706906>>Deidara does a substitution jutsu with no arms while Naruto has him pinned downHas substitution EVER been explained or given rules? Everyone can avoid attacks at will, unless the fight has been going on for 5 episodes in which case they'll tank the hit. Whether it's logs, elemental clones or just smoke, everyone uses substitution at complete random.
my friend started watching naruto months ago. I skipped to the konoha invasion arc because I watched the previous arc hundreds of times when they aired Naruto on TV when I was a kidI'm close to finish Shippuden now, episode #484. he currently is at Naruto x Killer Bee training arc. he skipped multiple fillers and sceneshe complains he regrets watching OG Naruto filler episodes because he would be finish Shippuden right now if it wasn't for theseI think "fuck you" but take a deep breath and say"the fuck you talking about you didn't even want to watch Shippuden you wanted to go straight to Boruto. you even watched the first episode even when I told you Shippuden starts great so shut the fuck up"he watches it for the memes. from time to time he sends me 8-13min long parody videos from Youtube, I have no idea how he has time for these, then later comes and complains to me the fillers wasted his time. the faggot spends more time spoiling himself watching youtube poops and parodies and shit than actually watching the serieshe wants to watch Boruto because "I wanna know what happened to the characters, we already know they lived and he can just read yotube comments so there is no need to watch shippuden who cares lmao", and gets wet at their redesigns. he claps themthen dares to come and talk about qualityhe shat on multiple soulful fillers, he shat on 90% of OG Naruto openings and endings, and moreis this what modern crap like Juutsu Kaisen does to someone's brain?
>>282708197my friend and I*oh and alsoDanzo?? he says he is right. that there is no peace without darknesshe said, in a serious conversation, that he would be Danzolmao
>>282708221nono I remember, his exact words were"it's because Danzo is realistic"KEK
>>282708177it's lightly explained but nothing concrete. How you do this with no arms is whatever though
yikes
Now that the puppet arc is over, how do you feel about ninja puppeteering in Naruto? Who is your favorite out of Kankuro, Chiyo, and Sasori?
>>282708317Part 1 Kankuro > fat bastard Sasori > Sakura Chiyo
>>282708272
>>282708243The whole "speed and skill" bit makes sense when it's a jounin using it on genins, but how the fuck did Deidara scurry his way out of the grip of fox Naruto, avoid Kakashi's Sharingan, avoid Neji byukugan, and somehow outspeed Gai and Lee? Like you would need outright teleportation to make it happen and I highly doubt Deidara knows FTG.
>>282705169Gaara is gay for Naruto
>>282708243substitution relying on genjutsu makes too much sense, let's copy dragon ball instead
>>282708002>>282706748I have been enlightened. Deidara deserved to be bullied by those red-eyed freaks
>>282708272>>282708389>a girdle
>>282705578There's nothing salvagable with the next arc. Sai and Yamato are both shit
>>282704710I want to kill Shikamaru with HAMMERS
>>282708490Sai is a good character and if he was introduced in part 1 he would be just as popular as the K11
>>282704777TARDruto...
>>282708490Sai was the most ninja-like of the leaf characters until he got corrupted
>>282705741>>282705833Kishi kept playing it out like his identity was some big secret reveal. There's no reason to keep his identity hidden from the reader if the obvious assumption was it was Obito...and no, the reader was clearly not supposed to know it was Obito. Stop trying to defend shitty writing.
>>282705095Neji's bad at seeing shit underground, apparently.
>>282708490Naruto is about to become completely insufferable next arc
>>282704693ENTER Matsuri! (The Naruto one)
>>282705105ENTER a pretty fun and easygoing rogue ninja.
>>282708538He kept NOTICING ROOT bullshit, so they implanted earth blockers into his brain to prevent him from seeing underground.
>>282705030HOW DID HE DIG WITHOUT ARMS!?!?
>>282708272>>282708285>>282708330>>282708389>>282708406>>282708445CUTEnata
>>282705105Real talk, this is one of kishi's weaker design. The eye hole is a dead giveaway and the mask changing later doesn't help it at all.
>>282705095Deidara digs just as fast as he runs, he was already over 800 meters away from them at the time.
>>282708565Earth jutsu.>b-but handsi-EARTH. JUTSU.
>>282705105ENTER the biggest Cuck
>>282708536>the reader was clearly not supposed to know it was Obito.He looked like an adult Obito. Whenever he took off the mask, even when his entire face wasn't seen, it was clearly Obito. Not to mention his MS ability was similar to Kakashi's.
>>282708611People didn't figure out his ability was similar to Kakashi's right away.
>>282707668Sakura haters are so unhinged
>>282705057>I """""""only""""""" lost my arm from the elbowThis is fucking hilarious, dude's just treating it all like a mere flesh wound
>>282708619That's on them. There was even a moment where Kakashi was about to use Kamui on him and "Madara" told Kakashi it wasn't going to work on him.
If Naruto knew that he was basically helping Chiyo kill herself, would he have still gave her his chakra?
>>282708623But enough about sasukefag
>>282708669Probably not. In fact, Naruto would multitask by giving her chakra to revive Gaara and refill her own to keep her alive.
>>282708272>>282708285>>282708330>>282708389>>282708406>>282708445SEXnata
>>282705057>>282708650Why still never found out how he was able to restore his other arm.
>>282707588>Hot as a childOrochimaru, stop posting.
Uh, B&W chapter?
>>282704732Return of the Thighs.
I think this kinda shows that people are ok with bullshit happening as long as it's not an uchiha doing it.
>>282705105what powers did they give him in the videogames?
>>282705030>>282705057Kazakstan genetic masterace
>>282708889Just intagiability, and bombs.
>>282707090I don't get the spergery either lol
>>282705008We needed more interactions between Gaara and Naruto. Not shit like "Gaara steps in to fight Pain", actual character moments like "Gaara steps in to help Naruto with the challenge of being Hokage," Gaara doesn't have nearly as much power and his village is much smaller, but his experience and desire to help Naruto put him in a unique position among the side characters.
>>282708882If the rate of bullshit is 1 bullshit per person, it's fine. With Uchiha, it's like 10 bullshits per person.
>>282705057I really like the idea of Akatsuki being ninjas that were so good at war( and addicted to it) that they became a menace to the whole shinobi world( who created these monsters for war but couldn't control them). Almost like forces of nature. top tier villains in anime.
>>282708765>I will NOT allow another woman near my brother, only I may be close to himwhat causes this
>>282705105I can't believe this is how the character is introduced. Just a few chapters after Kakashi's flashback and reveal of the swirly teleportation sharingan jutsu. How was there any debate back when this was current?
>>282706566>Fucking embarrassment of a KazekageYou aren't wrong, but were there any good ones kek? Seemed like they all pretty much sucked ass.
>>282705105the strongest method actor in history
>>282709249>It's too obviousAnd back then people still thought Kishi was somewhat competent of a writer.
>>282708317Kankuro vs Sakon/Ukon gave him a lot of pointsIron Maiden was brutal
>>282705105the tobi identity theories back in the day were so stupidly fun >madara>shisui>kagami>tobirama>danzo>obito>sasuke from the future>the ramen guy>minato the list goes on
>>282709526>>282709513Why the fuck is Kankuro's hair white?
just watched the episode where Ino has to impersonate a fat princessin actual tears from laughing, Shippuden and Kishimoto could never write something this good
>>282709169Deidara already did far more egregious bullshit than Sasuke in his hebi phase.
]
>>282708243How can you even do that in the first place? That explanation is retarded, Kishi knows it's retarded and there's a reason it's never brought up again.
>>282705426Tomorrow[/spoiler
>Kissed Sasuke>Kissed Sakura>Kissed HinataWas Gaara ever kissed by Naruto?
>>282709709The arm isn't even bleeding anymore.
>>282705105>>282709766Arigatou, OP!
>>282709709>travels to the dirt and mud alongside the maggots and worms that live inside it.>Doesn't get his open wound infectedSHARTmoto...
>>282709462There was also Fugaku, Izuna, Setsuna (literal background Uchiha from the past), Tobirama, and even Rin.
So in Naruto universe once you become the president everyone will love you.
>>282709858You were never told to rub dirt in your wounds as a kid?
>>282709884No once you perform miracles they will love you.
>>282709895No???????Is this what americans did to avoid going to the hospital?
>>282709884you have it backwards
>>282709858since when do maggots and worms infect wounds? aside from that an infection would take longer to show itself anyways
>>282708669Nope, he would have instead started preaching about finding another way
Why the Nardo fanbase(mainly normies) compare Tobirama to Hitler and call him a genocidist when the culprit was Hiruzen? Im afraid the answer be the fanbase is retarded.
>>282705105Manga ruined.>>282709249It was too obvious and it was hard to find a coincevable reason of why or how he would've survived and went on to become an international terrorist.
>>282708611>>282708654It's obvious you didn't read Naruto as it was being released.
>>282705274You don't understand the depths of Naruto's pain.Someone called him stinky.
>>282710235there are people who actually dislike the second hokage?
>>282706252Naruto had decent fillerkino, it was wartime pacing that broke the masses enough that anyone will uninitiate with it as a whole. Always liked Ino in filler, she was a decent character that would bounce off Naruto well.>>282708272>Girdle>>282707564>Midriff Holy based, Stacyno is mogging so hard and doesn’t resort to frauding for her beauty.
>>282709937You never went outside to play as a kid and it shows

>>282709249>How was there any debate back when this was current?It was too obvious.People thought it had to be a red herring because Kishimoto couldn't possibly be that big of a hack.
>>282709390>>282710407>>282710755>Kishi is a hack because it was too obvious Tobi is ObitoWow, looks like someone's still salty their retarded theories were wrong
>>282705105Should we keep a counter of the times Obito acts like a retard when nobody who doesn't know his secret is watching?
>>282709895You won’t get a balanced reply to this considering the herbivorous Japanese people get pneumonia from 2 minutes of light rainfall. Only homosexuals in Naruto (Midtachi and bone boy) get sick. >>282708490Disagree, Sai is actually one of the more unique characters and has a decent arc in the story.
>>282710669Sasukefag>inb4 "I said people"Fair enough
>>282710235It’s the Uchigger meme, don’t forget the same fanbase has Itachi as a good guy. Tobirama organizing zones and a segregated police force parallels real life tragedies to them, only that crimson eyes demons are actually built to be insane. He is the Hitler and the 3rd is the Dementia nice old man that overstayed his welcomed. I’ve seen some fans glaze the 4th as some JFK lite president, even though Minato didn’t do shit.
>>282710813Kishi is a hack, proven by Samurai Squid
>>282710729I did actually, i just never heard of "put dirt on the wound to heal".If anything, i was told to wash it and get is clean as fast as possible.
>>282710960Whatever you say, bubble boy.
>>282708577Disagree. The orange mask tobi is one of the most iconic shippuden designs. While plot wise its really obvious, the design itself is simple and effective
>>282711094Nah
>>282710813Kishi is a hack because Obito was turned into a shitty pain copy to add to the pile of "evil Narutos".The only supposed positive of him being Tobi is foil Kakashi but i don't think Kakashi's mindset and morals are ever faltered by anything Obito tells him.
>>282707880>Sakura>bouncy
>>282710897>parallels real life tragedies to themIt's not even half of what actually happen when an entire race got blamed by the crimes of their fellows. In fact they still could interact with the rest of the village, intermariage and never suffered any discrimination despise the fact they didnt help during the kurama invasion. Tobirama went easy with them. Suna or any other village would have had genocided the uchiha much sooner.
>>282710703>she bounced off Naruto well especially here >>282709552The girl he most gets partnered with in filler is Tenten, oddly enough. Probably because she does so little in the manga that Pierrot decided to add her (and the rest of team 3) to a ton of filler episodes so they wouldn't feel underutilised. Yet in spite of that, Naruto and her don't really get any 'alone' time like he does with the other Konoha 11 girls. She's just kinda there whilst Naruto and Neji do most of the work.
>>282708272>>282708285>>282708330>>282708389>>282708406>>282708445Naruto won.
>>282711327Nah, he settled
>>282711350At times victory comes from unexpected outcomes.
>>282710703midriff, you say?
>>282711431Nice curves raffs
>>282711350..into the greatest life a shinobi could live. Then paperwork happened
>>282711215It was supposed to be the slippery slope considering what happened later, but the fact he gave them soft power and let them interact with the village is pretty mild. Him making sure he chunin it cams and the zombie jutsu are more controversial imo>>282711291Lol that princess episode was one of my favorite fillers. I didn’t expect that pissening ending, it was pretty funny. Pierrot had a lot of love for the series.Oh yeah, Tenten was a filler queen at times. There wasn’t much to work with, considering how little she interacted with the cast and the fact that her 1 fight insofar was getting off screened. She was a foil to Rock Lee and had some personality with her straight man like role. Rock Lee Spring Time of Youth spin-off was a true godsend for Tenten fans.
>>282711575Ugly kids
>>282711679I had had the idea of a Naruto-Tenten mission where he uses his shadow clones to make use of all her weapons summons so she isn't just throwing them around
>>282710636You literally have no idea what you're talking about.
>>282711698Hima-chan is the ideal sunflower daughter, heathen
>>282711715Literally? Like, Literally? I can't even.
>>282711575Must you post a picture of THAT fucking thing in the middle
>>282711729She ugly
>>282711431Sakucute wasn’t built for that. What’s funny is that Ino is a support in terms of combat, but I remember the episodes of her being jacked as all hell. Girl has some great genes>>282711703Nice, Tenten did always have an arsenal of weapons. I can imagine her forcing him to pick them all up after she just rapid fires kunai and her other toolsI had the BS idea of Tenten being Minato-lite considering her jutsu is just spawning infinite weapons. That or being a premier summoning jutsu ninja. Either way, always appreciated the side characters. Naruto was certainly good at creating them
>>282705105Yo, why does this COOL looking nigga have one hole for an eye, what about his other eye
>>282711755Shut up Kawaki.
>>282711824That's not an eye hole.
>>282711824Maybe he can see through it fine.
>>282711805something Naruto does that DBZ for example doesn't is it makes sure the protagonist isn't substantially more powerful than the rest of the supporting cast (at least, not before the final third of the series, anyway), so when you get arcs focused on the other characters you never feel like it's a 'cheap baby fight' like you would if DBZ had done a half dozen episodes of the likes of Krillin and Yamcha fighting the Saibamen. The other characters can meaningfully contribute to Naruto's accomplishments.
>>282711772fake news
>>282711938Just looks like Naruto with different hair. Ugly or lazy design. Take your pick.
>>282704837Then how did she even know that the technique would work?
>>282711575Kubo definitely had superior end designs for his characters. The kids actually look like a mix of their parents and not a copy paste like all the ones in Naruto.
>>282711959and Naruto just looks like Kushina with Minato's hair. It's the cute chubby face being reapplied to a girl
>>282704710>girls are always attracted to cool elite types Furthers my notion that Chadruto would be a mogger if he LARPer as a stoicfag, thankfully he is too based for that. Hoes mad that the elite cool guys they pine for would rather be with Naruto (Sasuke and Gaara). Hinata is the best investor in Narutocoin>>282704678>>282704732Cute older sister being defensive of her lil bro. Sweet
>>282712087No, Kushina just looks like Naruto since Naruto's design was established first. Think you're supporting the notion Kishi is a hack with character designs too.
>>282704710would
>>282705078Oh now his lazy ass shows up.
>>282705030>this ain’t Albuquerque>casually looking for his ring as if his arms aren’t missingDeidara is based toon force incarnate. Nejicels should be ashamed that their boy still doesn’t look to the ground.>>282705105Kino design. Still makes me laugh this guy is the pretending to be retarded meme come to life. That and him sounding like Richard Waterson in the dub to his sudden villain voice.
>>282705105ENTER.... our main.... erm... our 2ndary...our 3RD top villain!
>>282712101>>282712136>>282712177>>282712180>>282712192Nobody asked for your commentary
>>282712180Pigs can't look up and hyuga can't look down. That's fate.
>>282712202I did. I put in a special request through the front office
>>282704897It's a comic book, stop overthinking it.
Tobito is based for not being an outright subversion, because he is a fakeout of a fakeout. Once you arrive to the proper conclusion, being double subverted is actually a highly intelligent play.
>>282705101I'd say an edo doesn't have life force to transfer considering they can be resurrected
The fact that Naruto got some retired old boomer to martyrize herself for a village speaks volumes to his feats. Thank goodness the meek Sand has someone looking out for their best interests, they should return this great act of throughtfulness and commemorate this day of dependence and provide Kaguya’s chosen- I mean their Allies with all the support they can
>>282704937It's weird that even with her or Sai they attribute their redemption to Naruto, when Sakura was the one who interacted with them the most.>>282705095Just like the observation haki byakugan will be shut off when it would trivialize the plot.
>>282704937Props to naruto for respecting sacrifice and not going on a crybaby rant like some characters in other anime do.
>>282712591If only the old farts of the Leaf weren't so retarded.
>>282708317Why wasn’t pic related the fight?
>>282708330Left to right>built for rimjobs>built for anal, pink needs it in her stink>built for paizuri >built for loveHonorable mention Temari, who is built for thighjobs
>>282705105Thank you OP. >282708490Next arc Sai is ok.
>>282712743>It's weird that even with her or Sai they attribute their redemption to Naruto, when Sakura was the one who interacted with them the most.Its absolutely fucking hilarious and really sad. Gaara later will also largely thank Naruto only instead the person who put in much more work, he won't even have any separate line or interaction with Sakura. Even in this chapter Kakashi says Chiyo entrusted future to "you and Gaara", speaking to Naruto only.Even when Sakura genuinely does so much, Naruto steals all of her credit.We are supposed to genuinely pretend Naruto did most of the job in here even though he was honestly a burden.
>>282712989Chiyo just assumed that Sakura is a Naruto shadow clone using a transformation jutsu.
>>282713010Stupid
>>282706846>Deidara won that fightEven if you want to argue the escape was bullshit, Deidara didn't win shit, he was outclassed in every way despite the fact that: a) he had help in Toby and b)his opponent wasn't even trying to kill him and just wanted information
>>282713017>he was outclassed in every wayNo he wasn't. The great snake escape was just the final asspull to conclude that fight. Sauske shouldn't have survived the subparticle bomb bullshit either.
>>282713056Nta and while it's true the subparticle bomb was an asspull too.
>>282713072>the subparticle bomb was an asspull tooHow
>>282712989Based, Sakura a shit
>>282713072>trained by the 3rd tsuchikage>main skillset deals with destroying everything at a molecular level>Deidara wouldn't conceive of a jutsu that works on that same playing field Idk anon, I don't see anything wrong with it
Sasuke gets constant upgrades and bats out of his league, usually relying on some level of bullshit to either survive or score a win. Nonetheless I still like him, his fights are cool and it’s pretty based how unhinged and ready to throw down he gets as the series goes. If he was plainly stronger than his opposition then it would be bigger bulllshit, considering how strong everyone else is. Especially at 5 Kage Summit, he has no business being able to win against any of them alongside Killer B. Danzo was the main egregious one, and Deidara wouldn’t be as bad if not for:>the ending>elemental matchups being introduced right before the fightWith that said, he is still fun to watch. And Deidara is too strong to beat by ordinary means, it would be nonsense to see Sasuke overpower him instead of apply conditional statements to beating him.
>>282711889Who?
>>282713056The sharingan seeing it a bit bullshit, but the actual escape was just flying away a bit to where Deidara himself was and using genjutsuBut if you want to talk about the real bullshit, that's chakra-less Deidara summoning his huge bomb. Asspull escape was an attack that was a huge asspull to begin with
Naruto did technically “save” Gaara or at least fetch his corpse. Sakura would be praised if some characters threw a heap of praise for her helping out. Without Sakura, there isn’t an antidote and no one their is avoiding a hit from Sasori meaning that Gaara wouldn’t be revived without their help. In this arc, Sakura was actually the hero and deserves her flowers
>>282713176Danzo is an absolute shitter with no fighting ability.But yeah, Sauce's fights at least tend to be interesting
>>282713120>>282713151Because it was far stronger than anything until then, he could have trivialized Gaara if he could have done that without losing a limb (the sand is shown to be not infinitely compact), and no, the dust release isn't an excuse, it's like saying Zabuza had a lightspeed jutsu because he knew Haku.
>>282713243Danzo had some sick wind style Hutus and a cool summon. With all his sharingans, he should have been a very capable fighter. He still was, even with the low IQ shit he did, Danzo would still be a tough ninja.
>>282713218>but the actual escape was just flying away a bit to where Deidara himself was and using genjutsuDidn't he just electrocute his body to disable the bombs? If he just flew outside the range, that would at least be less of an asspull
>>282713236Too bad all of the character development she displayed in this arc is completely abandoned and she regresses to her part 1 bullshit.
>>282713291He was a schemer more than a fighter that's why he chickened out when Tobirama and the crew got surrounded.
What if Chiyo decided to revive Sasori to give him a second chance at a normal life?
>>282705105Tobi is the coolest guy ever.
>>282713287>he could have trivialized GaaraHe would have killed Gaara, which would have defeated the purpose of their mission. He did trivialize Gaara regardless. Gaara had the handicap of the village while Deidara was handicapped by not being allowed to kill him, and he still succeeded with minimal effort. >it's like saying Zabuza had a lightspeed jutsu because he knew HakuExcept Zabuza was the senior in that relationship and he didn't have the tools needed to accomplish that feat.
>>282713326What character development? I feel like people are throwing these words so randomly.She's competent here, but nothing about her character is changed. Hell, the reason she fights Sasori is to get information on Sasuke. She is just allowed to shine more, that's it
>>282713338He was probably far too gone for that.
>>282713326Can’t disregard that, she did get shelved for the Naruto and Uchila show. Still, most characters get their arc and bounce in plenty of manga. I don’t mind it, just a bit of a shame really. >>282713335>having to make the villain out as a cowardDamn Kishimoto wanted zero redeeming qualities for this character, lol. A schemer ninja is actually a decent take on this sort of setting where everyone is a front liner
>>282713317Not just Gaara, the entire chasing party too. It's not like he needed to kill or capture some of them for anything, huh
>>282713392>but nothing about her character is changedShe cries at the idea Naruto is being hunted over the 9-tails fox inside him and will ultimately die if the Akatuski are successful. She shows competency and is actually a major component in the success of the overall mission. She persuaded Chiyo more than anyone else, despite Naruto getting all the credit. Seems like you just hate her character.
>>282713405Naruto would have forgave him if he knew his story.
>>282713416I didn't mention that because "he was out of clay" but being serious he obviously could if he could create clones of himself.
>>282713434>Seems like you just hate her character.It's the opposite. I don't think all of these things you mentioned are later changed (well, the personal qualities, not the level of involvement) or that she only gains them in this arc.They are just showcasing what was already in here, not developing. And all of this stays with her, it just isn't shown in favor of cryingb over Sasuke and having others steal all the important shit.
>>282713438If only we knew his story
>>282713438Eh, he still killed the Kazekage and deflecting Akatsuki wouldn't probably sit well with Pain and co.
>>282707090>>282709044>NOOOOOO LEAVE THE MILLIONS-MAKING MANGA ALONEActual retards, kek.
>>282713770They can't handle both liking something and pointing out the flaws in it.
>>282708330They already have smartphones 2 years after Shippuden?
>>282713813Strangely, I don't think we see anyone using one in Boruto.
>Kishi never once drew Anko, Temari, or Tenten with their hair downit should be required by law for all female characters whose standard hairstyle is tied up that they have at least one official instance of it loose
>>282710813>someone's still salty their retarded theories were wrongI didn't even have any. I thought most of them were ridiculous and just went on to see what Kishi would do. By the time we get to Pain and Itachi, Tobi reveals himself as Madara and pretty much everything* else suggests it so (although there is an interesting Itachi line I've recently found out about where he might be suggesting the opposite in a convoluted way).I just believed it. To me, Madara somehow being alive made much more sense than Obito not only surviving but turning into a superpowerful evil mastermind. And like >>282711170 said, Obito is the weakest of the "literally me" bunch. Gaara was a great evil Naruto, and so were Nagato and Yahiko. But Obito is underwhelming in the role and never justified himself as a character.
>>282713894his motivation is the draw of Rinussy was just too strong for his psyche to handle
>>282713865I'm pretty sure the anime has shown Temari and Tenten with their hair down. Anko is the only one who hasn't been shown with it throughout the entire franchise.
>>282713925I looked, there's a filler episode with Temari's hair down but that's it. a distinct possibility that Kishimoto had no involvement in that scene, either.
>>282704860shouldn't she be old enough that she was a child or young woman when the first Kage were around?
>>282713954it's easy to forget just how young the ninja villages and shinobi system is. The way it's presented is, they've been living like this for centuries. meanwhile in actuality the foundation of Konoha and the First Hokage are within living memory of many people.
>>282713770Yes anon 5 people having a meltdown about the same thing every single page every single thread is the essence of thoughtful criticism and isn't at all overblown or repetitive. I wouldn't even mind so much if you guys weren't being so willfully ignorant of kishimoto's intentions just to complain.
>>282714022There are no meltdowns, though.
>>282714033if you say so
>>282714022shitting on everything is kind of the point of these generals>willfully ignorant of kishimoto's intentioncome on bro
>>282713375Nta but I wouldn't say that losing an arm, all his clay and winning only because he had to protect the village is trivializing him, nor that the powerset of creating explosive flying statues logically should create that
>>282714040Point to a meltdown in this thread then. Because all I see is just people having normal reactions to the manga.
Gara getting revived was the shit that pissed me off the most in all of Shippuden and made me drop it for a few years combined with Sakura beating Sasori.I still dislike this dumb as hell thing.
>>282705078My second favorite Akatsuki member, really wish Zetsu had more scenes, he was fun as hell.
>>282714052I really only liked this arc in Storm 2 because the Sasori fight was fast-paced.
>>282704652Many recent chapter titles have had the "[adjective] thoughts" format in JP and not translated.
>>282705105Thx.
>>282704710so why doesn't Gaara fuck his groupiesis he gay?
>>282714299Gaara should have had a harem, of "Love"
>>282708705Pretty sure Hidan mocks him for needing Kakuzu to get new arms for him.
>>282714299Yes. He only wants Naruto.
>>282710235He invented a jutsu that requires live human sacrifice to create zombie slaves.
>>282710235um the culprit was Danzo actuallyHiruzen did nothing wrong
>>282714094Speaking of pace>orochimaru's assault on Konoha in part 1 lasts a total of 24 chapters>that's the same length as the time between the faketachi and fakesami appearances and Gaara's resurrection>
>Kishimoto spent almost 10 years to finally reveal Obito's identity.This is probably the biggest foreshadowing in the series. And I'm the kind of guy who dismisses every “fanon” claim that Kishimoto was foreshadowing something. But he started with the flashback, and Tobi's characterization and design align with Obito. Even the busted powers are confirmed in that scene. But it took almost 10 fucking years. I remember theories were already coming out early on in the Pain saga.
>>282714486Why did he put the Obito flashback so early? All it did was make the Tobi mystery patheticly easy to guess to the point where fans thought Tobi=Obito was a Kishi missdirection.
>>282714556It's like Danzo, he's important early on. But he's only important in that arc, that arc alone. Until he becomes a big deal after Pain's invasion. Kishimoto holds onto plotlines for a long time and doesn't know what to do with them later on. Remember Itachi? He clearly wanted to paint Itachi as some kind of antihero, but the final decision was so baffling. It made people think it was different. That maybe Itachi was always evil.
you'd think the Hyuuga would make for great medical nin
>>282714556Putting the Gaiden after Tobi's debut would make it even more obvious.
>>282705105I wonder how many people only needed this page to realize who Tobi is.I remember figuring it out pretty fast, but not from just this page. It's easily possible because the name is so blatant.
>>282714704Why not after the Obito reveal?
>>282714800Because people would barely know who Obito is by then and make the reveal feel tacked on?
>>282714850Only those who didn’t pay attention would feel that way.
why does everyone assume Naruto didn't know what Shion was suggesting at the end of the Shippuden movie? He's not some asexual autist, even before spending time with Jiraiya he knew enough about sexuality to both come up with the sexy jutsu and openly lust over a few girls; and there's no way he didn't get more 'clued up' after spending three years with Jiraiya (and even helping him write love novels)how much you wanna bet he knew exactly what Shion said and was agreeing because of it
>>282714850>people would barely know who Obito isIf you paid attention you'd know.Off the top of my head I can immediately think of that time Kakashi just off-handed told Asuma and Kurenai he was gonna go visit Obito's grave while they were chatting up in front of Kisame and Itachi that were drinking tea in the village.Just add more stuff like that instead of that dumb flashback.
>>282714556Kakashi Gaiden was the timeskip. Kishi spent a few weeks telling us a story about Kakashi's team hoping readers would be "WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAA OUR HERO IS BACK" when Naruto came back after two or three real life months.
>>282715110Do you think he had Tobito in mind when drawing the flashback?
>>282715127Nta, but I feel ObiTibi has been a long baked idea he had, even before the flashback.
>>282715127It's impossible to tell for certain but I suppose so. Tobi is introduced right at the end of the subsequent arc. It seems like Kishi had made up his mind on making the story about the Akatsuki by the end of the SRA (which was why he rushed to get to part 2), when he also introduced Zetsu and the Akatsuki mystery meeting.
>>282715139He had to have something on his mind when Kakashi was revealed to have one super hax eye from Kishi’a favourite clan. It was just a matter of time before we learned from who it was and what happened with the other. But I’m not sure if making Tobito a secret bad guy that survived the boulder was something that was set in stone in his mind. Tobi could have been someone that had Obito’s other eye like Kakashi.
>>282715180>He had to have something on his mind when Kakashi was revealed to have one super hax eye from Kishi’a favourite clan.You guys are severely overestimating Kishimto and weekly mangaka in general.He thought Kakashi had an Uchiha teammate. That's it. They even had the picture shown in Zabuza arc I think.
>>282714922>creates sexy jutsu>pretends to not know what sex is
>>282709462All better than Obito
>>282714922>>282715200I'm sure there are plenty of anons here who've wanked to the most degenerate things imaginable but are still awkard around women and oblivious to flirting.
>>282709462I’ll toss my few cents and say Tobi was Obito’a body being puppeteered by Black Zetsu.
>>282715127>>282715139I believe he was also already planning that Zetsu knew his identity, despite the method acting, Zetsu's behavior in this chapter is really weird out of context.>>282715196Some chapters ago an anon mentioned Kishimoto didn't know Itachi's crime, just that he wanted to make him an anti-hero, during land of waves.
If Sasori made Obito into a puppet could the puppet use Kamui?
>>282715258>Some chapters ago an anon mentioned Kishimoto didn't know Itachi's crime, just that he wanted to make him an anti-hero, during land of waves.Yeah, this is true. Sasuke was literally dying in Naruto's arms and talking about he has to kill his brother for what he did, yet Kishimoto had no idea what he did yet lmaooo
>>282715238Or, like Naruto, think a severely pregnant woman just ate too much
Itachi is still much less evil than that sick bastard Louhan
>>282715294The eye is part of the brain and puppets don't have brains, like you might be able to preserve a sharingan in an ampule and install it in a puppet but it couldn't utilize it. I think the anime had one puppet with a sharingan but it was definitely a creative liberty of whoever was doing close ups of the 100 puppets.
>>282715318>LouhanWhat is that?
>>282715180 I feel Kishi just had the rough idea of Obito being a bad guy, but likely didn't pin down exactly how it would work. There was Tobi who acted like a dopey version of Obito which made people think he was brainwashed or bran-damaged. Then there was that Madara larping stuff, and this is just a schizo theory, but part of me thinks Kishi considered having Obito just being possessed by Madara, before deciding to separate the two and settled for Obito going evil but have Madara be the one to indoctrinate him to that path.
>>282704643Dubs and kishimoto dies
>>282715294Probably.
>>282714299>is he gay?isn't it obvious?
>>282715401Dubs and the timeline shifts and we’re gonna be reading Naruto but good
>>282704814did THAT just was ever bring back in the series after this? I can't remember
>>282704814Sakura should have learned this technique
>>282715444Haha nigger trips don't count Naruto still sucks
>>282705105ENTER coolest guy
>>282705105>It’s Sasuke being a double agent for Orochimaru and trying to get close to Itachi to kill himKino
>>282706758Yes but Sasuke was popular with women in the early 2000's and that's unforgivable.
Special medical Bumping Technique! *revives the thread and dies*
>>282710821>the herbivorous Japanese people get pneumonia from 2 minutes of light rainfall>narrative tropes used in pop culture works are a good reflection of reality and not a bunch of understandable situations that the authors use to justify the plotDo you also believe nice guys get huge harems of teen girls in Japan?
>>282712438>15+ years of mental gymnastic to defend Kishimoto's shitty writing
>>282714022>kishimoto's intentionsMaking money
>>282704710Oh yeah. This qt fangirl would never leave Gaara's side in fillers. I found it endearing.
>>282715385His story parallels Naruto's story. So it would be more like Sasuke/Naruto going down the wrong path. One thing about the flashback is that Minato is a totally different character than he is later on. What's crazy is that the new jokey personality doesn't make him more like Naruto.
>>282711729Inojin...
>>282704710Since Suna is basically a monarchy what's going to happen to the village when Gaara kicks the bucket and he has no heir due to his absolute faggotry?
>>282717194Because he's gay he adopts a son who has the same kekkei genkai so really some bastard offshoot of the third kazekage. The monarchy is intact.
>>282717284Oh wait, you're right. Shinki exists. I managed to memoryhole Boruto since I hate it.
>>282716283Only the boring ones.
>Oh sweet I have mangekyo, kamui!>Tobi>Deidara escaping with no arms, going to find his missing limbs to reattach them>Resurrection jutsuthe tail end of this arc managed to introduce some of the worst shit to hit the series back-to-back.
>>282717369How the fuck did they find his left arm that was crushed into nothing by Gaara? I can understand right, because it was teleported into Kamui, and Tobi "found" it for him.
>>282715305Itachi makes no fucking sense as a character >kills clan on orders of the Leaf>only demand is Leaf protects Sasuke >WHATEVER YOU GUYS DO PROTECT HIM FROM OROCHIMARU>comes back to make sure Dumbzo isn't getting ideas>casually tortures Kakashi >Kisame we're leaving>casually tortures Sasuke but felt really bad about it okay>Kisame we're leaving>Ah shit Sasuke abandoned the Leaf to join Orochimaru specifically because I tortured him>Oh well I'm sure he'll be fine>Kisame we're waiting>3 years pass>force feeds Naruto a crow>Well Sasuke you made it I'm gonna steal your eyes>Also the Uchiha are a bunch of eye stealing devils>Ah shit my ninja AIDs welp by Sasuke>*forehead poke*>Oh I've been revived>Hey Sasuke the truth is everything I did I did for you! Bye!*ascends into heaven*
>>282717505>comes back to village to make sure Danzo hasn't hurt Sasuke>hurts Sasuke and shows him his parents being killed 50,000 times>Sasuke now desperate for more power might actually go through with killing his closest friend>this would mean Konoha loses the 9 tails and the world endsHis goals are simply beyond your understanding.
We HATE iTARDchi here.
>>282717194funny thing is there's a good chance Gaara wasn't the first choice either. Orochimaru did not only kill the fourth kazekage but also his two bodyguards, and we know from the kage-summits that there's a general trend of bodyguards eventually becoming the next kage themselves. So if Gaara actually were to kick the bucket.. I dunno, good chance Temari would have to step up
>>282717663>Gaara's dad gets all the good ninja killed trying to assassinate Gaara>gets assassinated>Suna decides since Gaara killed all the good Ninja just make him Hokage
>>282715479It being so blatant was the reason why I didn't believe it until Edo Madara.
>>282718130>>282714763
>>282717756do people think deserts are actually like this?
>>282717756So why didn't anyone in Konoha retaliate against Suna? There's no way the elders or Dumbzo are forgiving enough to let an attack of that magnitude slide.
>>282711805Ino is jacked?
>>282718177Kishimoto had never opened a book to learn how desert biomes architecture looks like.
>>282715318I hate this guy
The search for Saucegay today?
>>282718192They lost most of their forces, an attack would have left opening, risking a very large scale war and occupying ninja from doing their job for little reward
>>282718192They gave to Kumo tributes when Kumo tried to backstab them.
>>282718236it's not like Konoha looks like any real world place either. the fact a substantial percentage of the population can jump 30+ feet in the air fundamentally changes the concept of architecture. it results in Naruto having this weird quasi dieselpunk aesthetic where it simultaneously looks like the 1930s, the 1990s, and mediaeval Japan depending on the angle.
How is Madara's wife doing these days I wonder
>>282718459Every day is the search for Saucegay
>>282718661Madara was an incel.
>>282718870Almost every strong person in the series is a virgin.
>>282704888>I was just pretendingEditbros, if you'd be so kind...
>>282705030Everyone complains about O MY MANDA SUMMON AT ZERO CHAKRA, but I think this is bullshit on the same level. It evens out in the end.
>>282709249This >>28271040750% of people thought it was Obito due to the obvious similarities, the other half thought he had to be anyone else saying Kishi wouldnt make it so obvious and wondering how he survived and why he would be with Akatsuki. Its interesting that people dont have a lot of hate toward him with his whole convoluted plot and identity, somehow Kishi landed the plane and people accepted him, twists and all. It was the coolest guy bit and the quadruple betrayals that soured people if anything.
>>282719053Orochimaru likely had gay sex
>>282719297Coolest guy being said by someone who chose to be a smoothbrain and just not think bad thoughts.It was necessary to get along with filthy beasts.
>>282719053You really think he never fucked Anko or his army of white-haired pretty boys?
>>282704777Nardo...
>>282719611Orochimaru as a mentor is less likely to perv on you than Jiraiya.
>>282704949>>282705321retards
>>282712103Kids resemble their parents, what a hack
>>282714653Another reason Hinata should've been on Team 7 instead of Sakura.
>>282705310Next page, anon.
>>282708577The mask is cool as shit.
>>282718192The Daimyo didn't issue the order.
>>282719966that would make sense if Naruto was the MC but the MC is Sasuke
>I have a dream. That one day, every Shinobi in this nation will control their own destiny.>A village of the truly free, dammit. A village of action, not tradition, ruled by strength, not councils!>Where the rules bend to fit the individual, not the other way around. Where power and justice return to where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every Shinobi is free to think, to act for themselves!>Fuck all these limp-dick Elders and chickenshit Clan Heads. Fuck this 24 hour Council spew of missions and Shinobi ranking bullshit! Fuck Hidden Leaf pride! Fuck the Will of Fire! FUCK ALL OF IT! >Konoha is diseased. Rotten at the core. There’s no saving it - we need to rip it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN!>And from the ashes, a new Konoha will rise. Evolved, untamed! The weak will fall, and the strongest will thrive - free to live, to fight, to believe as they see fit!>They won’t kill for the Daimyō. They won’t die for some ancient feud or some Hokage’s dream. No more will kids die in blood sports they call "Exams", for the entertainment of the eilites.>In my new Konoha, people will die and kill for what they BELIEVE! Not for honor. Not for orders. Not for what they’re told is right. Every Shinobi will fight their own war!
>>282719974This is a speech bubble not a thought bubble so she's saying dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot
>>282719974>remember Tenten?
>>282719772Jiraiya is not a certified boy-molesting fruit, or pick his students based on their looks
>>282720387>Jiraiya is not a certified boy-molesting fruituh huh
>>282720225Hinata and Sasuke could have cute, non-romantic interactions better than Sakura's romantic interactions.
>>282709249The main counter argument was that it was too obvious. It HAD to be a red herring, there was no WAY Kishimoto would make this mystery so simple. There was no fucking way. The chapter it was revealed was legendary. So msny I told you so’s and so many KISHIMOTOS A FUCKING HACK!!!! posts
>>282720461>Naruto thought this is just how mentor-mentee relationships worked (much like Kakashi poking him up the butt) and tried to seduce his next teacher, humiliating himself
>>282719935>resembleVS>copy paste
>>282720339Based Armsumaki
>>282719611>>282720387>Haku>Kimimaro>SuigetsuDoes Mist have the most pretty boys per capita of any village?
>>282705105>>282714763The name Tobi is the biggest giveaway, what was Kishi thinking with that? That's why I never even entertained the thought of it being anyone but Obito, the right eye hole being the other hint that makes it obvious.
>>282720837The famous Blood Mist eugenic program. Produces pretty boys for Orochimaru's island and fishmen for sushi.
>>282720625Kushina, Naruto, and Himawari are not copy pastes of one another.
>>282720575>>282720461you think Naruto ever used his clones and the sexy jutsu to.. experiment?
>>282721325I wonder how many times this question has been asked.
don't you just love when movies add a romantic interest to the cast, especially ones that openly declare their love for the protag (who is implied to reciprocate), and is then never spoken of again after the movie is over?
>>282721325he didn't need cloneshe had jiraiya
*teleports to you*
even Hinata has her limits
>>282721949Naruto should have gone for a kiss. Someone purposefully baring their naked chest to you, suddenly coming this close is a clear invitation.
>>282722020>Doing shit like this in the same house where someone with x-ray vision livesIs Naruto retarded?
>>282722465she was out shopping at the time, and came home early because she forgot her wallet. and for the record, it wasn't incest. he was teaching Boruto the sexy jitsu and Hinata just happened to come through the door when Naruto was teasing Boruto over his tastes in women
>>282722543>and for the record, it wasn't incestThere's nothing good in Boruto uh
>>282722465>is Naruto retarded Yes.
>>282720352That's her name! 4 times
>>282720837suigetsu is so hot and needs to figure into boruto more now that kagura is dead. insane to hype up his desire for the swords only to have him decide to be a lab assistant for the guy who tortured him, with the woman who hates him and the guy who sometimes just turns into a demon
>>282722543What are his tastes in women? Salad?
>>282722862yeahNaruto tells him the key to the jutsu is to imagine the girl you like, as an adult. Boruto then transforms into a girl who looks a lot like Sarada, which Naruto clocks immediately
>>282721949Real question, why didn't Naruto hug him?
>>282709895No, my parents didn't hate me.
>>282722020what doujin is this
>>282722978He was weirded out by Sasuke's saggy boobs
>>282723150https://hitomi.la/doujinshi/kage-bunshin-%C3%97%C3%97%C3%97%C3%97-tte-shitteru!-english-250232-1302146.html#1
>>282722978because that would be gay
>>282723381Hugging your bro you didn't see for 3 years? "Bro I missed you *hug*" would say a lot more than the gay speeches
>>282723407yeah but Sasuke would feel his erection
>>282708272Big bulge
>>282715500That would make too much sense. That’s why we got Ibot reveal
>>282720339Kek i imagine Pain beating the shit out of Naruto while saying this. Or better yet, beating the shit out of Hinata in front of Naruto while saying this.
>>282721442Loved this flat cutie
>>282718192Kishi forgotMany such cases
>>282724243ideal girl
You are my friend!AAAAAHHHHHHHHH
