Sauce takes the 1st place again a second time. Plus twice in a row. He has yet to debut in Part 2.
>>283010186>Shikamaru below NejiKishi must have been malding.
>>283010127>Green eyes NartDid he always have that in the color pages or is it just this drawing that has it?
>>283010127>>283010186>Deidara makes top 3 just by being attractive
>>283010234>283010234Killer Bee foreshadowing?
>>283010234>The air pressure... like a thousand Killer Bees...What did Sai mean by this?
>>283010275I can’t wait till Sasuke BTFO kyuubi
>>283010300Credit where it’s due, that’s a sick visual
>>283010398>>283010420kwab
>>283010420>Sakura immediately gets knocked outDamn, Kishi really did not want to use her after the first arc, huh?
>>283010420This bridge is sturdy as hell.
Goodnight sweet prince
>>283010398>>283010420I don't really understand this. Kabuto reaches the outer layer of the blast, which we see is turning wood, stone, and metal into rubble, but just gets knocked back, and I assume receives some minor internal damage instead of being turned into viscera?
>>283010519>>283010538HE’S MADE OF RUBBER
>>283010538If Yamato is bewildered at how much of a jobber Sakura is here.
>>283010186Jiraiyabros...
>>283010589LMAO
>>283010589BASED
>>283010556How did that happen?
>>283010617YO HO HOTOOK A BITE OF CUM CUM
>>283010589>Naruto chimping out.>Sakura KO'd.>Sai being an asshole.Feelin' sorry for Yamato here.
Chapter 292: The Third Tail...!!END Tomorrow: Rampage...!!
>>283010589Sasuke would've done the same btw
>>283010559>>283010589>Kishi venting steam because Sakura had the audacity to defeat a male last arc
>>283010670>Yamato: It's just one little rendezvous spy mission. Just how badly can it go?>The mission:
Wait, that was it? Barely fuck all happened!
so, given the utter failure of leadership Tsunade has displayed in this arc, how do we think Jiraiya would've handled the responsibility of being Hokage had he taken up the offer?
>>283010710Don't you dare say anything bad about Sasuke. He would have killed her on his way up instead of just ignoring her
>>283010496Kabuto is an established tank. He walked out of a rasengan in part 1 thanks to his medical ninjutsu. Both he and Orochimaru have abnormal vitalities.
>>283010127>>283010186Is it a bad sign when the MC isn't the most popular character in a shonen manga? Or is that common?
GIVE SHITSUKE BACK!
>>283010699Thank you, OP.
>>283010821It's genuinely pretty common. Usually the cool rivals or older badass kind of characters get first bidding. It's only a bad sign if the MC doesn't even break the top 5.
>>283010821As long as he's in the top 3/5. Though I do wonder how many popular poles most series get though. I think DB only had like 2 or 3.
>>283010398lmao
>>283010420AIEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>283010589>just save the bitch that punched you for telling factsNah
>>283010398>>283010420>>283010495>>283010538>>283010559>>283010589Something about this whole sequence of events is so funny to me, I can’t tell what in particular - Sakura being immediately KO’d? Her limp body slowly sliding then falling off the bridge? Sai just flying off without her? Whatever it is it’s hilarious
>>283010699Orochimaru is one nasty guy
>>283010699that was it? goddamn
>sakura actually being good and active last arc didn't sit well with kishi
>>283011108It must've made him physically ill to have two relevant female characters. He's got to make up for it
>>283010127I like the light green eyes on Naruto here. Blue might look better, but green has a different appeal.
>>283010127>>283010186Why is Iruka so fucking popular? You can count his number of appearances on one hand and he's not even particularly good looking by fujobait standards
>>283010699>Despite the obvious posturing, Oroshimaru gets negdiff'd by three tails>Also, despite training for almost two years, Naruto still isn't really in control even with just the cloakA strange set of occurrences which Kishi will never touch upon again
>>283010589>miss me with that gay shit
>>283010699Is it ever explained how exactly does Orochimaru’s regen works?
>>283010699Thanks OP. For some reason kyuubi Naruto at the start of part 2 isn't as fun as it was in part 1. Even the upcoming 4 tails kind of falls flat. Is that a common opinion?
>>283010359Repeating dialogue
>>283011327Cool scar. Dad / big brother figure. Always shown to be calm, cool, and caring.
>>283011521I'm gonna be real I don't think there's a single Nine-Tails Naruto design I actually like in Shippuden besides the one where he fights Pain and think later morphs into during this fight. Any of the variants that make the cloak look like jelly just look like fucking dogshit to me, especially the ending one's.
>founded
>>283011327>>283011640I like the "great big brother figure" explanation and I wish that was the reason for his success but sadly it's the fujos
>>283010589Sai says he can't feel emotions but he definitely held a grudge from that sucker punch.
>>283010495Wow, so they CAN rebuild bridges!
>>283010589AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>283011492He became an entirely different lifeform after being bitten by the snake sage, that seems to be why he can perpetually shed his outer self as long as he has the chakra for it.
>>283010640>lost an arm instantly to 3 tails NarutoOrobros... the scaling...
>>283010809He'd be on the field.
How is bort doing??[#spoiler] Did he finally get raped by the tree people and thrown prison by shikamaru [spoiler#]
>>283010640>>283012213Tis but a scratch
Why cant we have an enjoyable Naruto storytime /:
>>283012406Because Sasukekek is demented and hates Naruto for some reason.
>>283012137That's a hokage-level feat.
>>283012137>>283010495>>283012493This jutsu? Would've taken over a 1000 Rock ninja to replicate with Earth-style.
>>283012232Not yet (or ever, because Boruto is too slippery to apprehend).
Yamato is a certified architect and learned how to construct bridges in the Leaf. Rock ninja lack the ingenuity to make such a beautiful bridge
>>283011521It's because kishi used it more sparingly throughout part 1 so any time naruto did use fox chakra it was a big deal. But at the start of part 2 foxruto shows up fairly often which lessens the impact especially when he jobs like this upcoming fight.
>>283010374Kabuto what the fuck are you doing lmao
>>283012600Naruto barely ever uses it in part 2. I can only think of now and Pain
>>283012417Yes, yes. He is definitely a contributing factor, but the OP feud doesn't help.
Thanks op>>283010420>AIIEEE
>Yamato: Alright guys let’s accomplish our mission with some good ol’ fashion teamwo-Naruto: RAAHHHHSakura: zzzzzSai: doing glowie ops and letting Sakura fall to her deathPoor Yamato
>>283012406I'm enjoying it, and it's all civil when the one guy starting drama isn't starting drama.
>>283012664>one guyThere's like 3-4 of them, OP included
>>283012620? There is no feud. It's literally just the one guy being sperg pretending to be multiple people. OP doesn't do anything besides post the daily.
>>283012681not according to the attempted volume dump lol
>>283012612He thought he could get the drop on Naruto, but realized he got caught right before that blast. Some funny pages in this chapter
>>283012659What if Sai just grabbed Kabuto, Yamato took Naruto and Sakura and they fucked off on a bird? Mission accomplished?
>>283012699>OP doesn't do anything besides post the daily.Hi Daily
>>283012701I don't get it
>>283011521The problem is that the fox chakra was an asset in Part 1, but all of a sudden in Part 2 it became a hinderance despite the main objective of the timeskip training being helping Naruto improve on that. Instead Naruto was nerfed, only trained to do a bigger Rasengan and a failed attempt at Genjutsu release, and swore to never rely on the fox again so Sasuke could stand a chance.
>>283012711That would require actual teamwork, which we clearly see isn’t in the cards at the moment considering Sai is a cold hearted autist and Naruto has done everything possible to destroy any good will. Guess the jonin deserve credit for once, teaching a group of adolescents must be a pain in the ass.
>>283010699I fucking hate Orochimaru it's unreal. He is a walking substitution jutsu that lost miserably by a decrepid Hokage even with zombie Tobirama and Hashirama by his side. But he is the least of everything wrong with this piece of shit manga since the sound 4 arc. All kurama forms that isn't Nardo controling it jobs now. Congratulations Kishimoto you hack son of a bitch It wasnt enough to make the main charater WEAK and a pathetic GAY LOVER now even his powerbost charm is shit. I hope we nevermore get anything of Naruto again in this board. This is a insult
>>283012699You're literally engaging with the retarded pajeet anon. It's not rocket science
>>283010127>Sasuke #1 without having a design or appearance>Neji, Iruka, at least Minato makes some sense after appearing finallyNaruto character polls are such memes
>>283012780>>282986493
>>283010322>>283010359wtf is that bridge made out of. Literally. Wooden bridge with a layer of concrete?>>283010420AIEE
>point out how these threads/OP is crap>but what about my boyfriend sasukefaggot???Everytime
Yamato is just regular ANBU right? Not privy to Danzo/ROOT/Sai Deep State plans? As far as he's concerned Sai has gone rogue here right
>>283013167He doesn't know what they're up to but Tsunade has already voiced her concerns so he's aware that he should be suspicious of Sai. The hot springs bit was just an excuse for Yamato to plant tracker seeds on Sai's clothes.
>>283011521I think early Foxruto has a nice “less is more” approach in terms of visuals, you can tell he’s got a demon fox sealed inside of him but all you really need are the eyes, the fangs, and the nails to show that
>>283013050I don't get it
>>283010420I get some weird primal fear seeing all this fantasy anime chaos going on, but all it takes is one good fall to the head to put you out of commission. it's so oddly realistic.
>>283010699Ok my memory is shit right now, what exactly is the status of Orochimaru’s arms? Not falling apart anymore, but not as powerful as they used to be?
>>283010589My hero
>>283011492He's no longer a human, his true form is a giant snake thing.
>>283012600>t especially when he jobs like this upcoming fight.Orochimaru had to run away like a bitch because he getting pushed to his limit fighting 4-tails. That's Naruto jobbing? The fuck are you on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqceF_0nMgM&list=PLBB5F82E24DEB205B
>>283013403>Not falling apart anymoreYes. Since he did the body swap at the end of part 1, but he still can't use jutsu using them.
>>283013403>what exactly is the status of Orochimaru’s arms?He still can't use jutsu, but his arms are no longer in pain.
>>283010640It always bothered me how despite being stronger kcm never felt this physically strong.
>>283014061Holy fuck. Why so late?
>>283010318Tiny Bees not Killer.
>>283014220Nope. He was talking about a thousand Killer Bee Shadow Clones.
unconscious sakura sex
>>283011521>>283013318Kishimoto's artstyle was much better in early part 2. Halfway through the Tsunade arc you can notice a sharp drop in quality as the art becomes simpler and anime-like, and it keeps worsening over time. >>283012802As I said in the previous thread, this "seal is weakening" plotline was a copout by Kishimoto to not have Naruto steamrolling the opposition. The idea looks lazy but it could've worked if the execution wasn't so terrible. Naruto spends the first two arcs as a useless bum that can't use his main source of power, concluding in his resolution not to use the Nine Tails' power which gets sidelined in the story for a long time. Then he spends the next arc as a side character training to learn a jutsu he uses to one shot the antagonist, remains a side character while roaming around in a cape looking for Sasuke in the following arc, and only then is allowed to be a character.The seal subplot wastes our time and stunts Naruto's development for half of Part 2, only for Naruto to become able to use the powers freely without any consequences or cost.
>>283014350>or costFighting Kurama was the cost.
>>283010538I just like how baffled Yamato is at Sakura fainting.
>>283014470Lot of arm mutilation in early Part 2
>>283014549How does this shit even work?
This dumping obsession is very weird
>>283014596It's like the substitution jutsu but for regeneration.
>>283014622>>283014549Speaking of, substitution has been used a fucking LOT the past few volumes. More so than most of part 1 or at least it feels like it.
>>283013088It's Hashirama wood
>>283014350Meanwhile, Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 had Naruto casually use the fox. Showing that the idea can work.
>>283010589Kekaroo
>>283014484>Yamato: "If this is considered the strongest female in the story, what does that mean for the others? Would that impact kill them?"
>>283010275that would be a cool shot, but Kishimoto can't draw Kyuubi looking scary. He looks way too cute
>>283014604>Obito to Zetsu
>>283014926Foxruto is part 2's Gamabunta. If not for Jiraiya telling Naruto not to use THAT jutsu, he could've obliterated Sasori and Deidara in the cave. Kakashi-level Kabuto has no answer to three-tailed Naruto, and Sasuke would've been dragged back to Konoha in a coma. Poor Hidan wouldn't even have time to draw his circle, and Kakuzu got one shotted by base form Naruto. Kishimoto has to write excuses as to why the walking nuke doesn't just nuke every antagonist. I'm not saying it'd be impossible to write an interesting plot for Naruto revolving around the Nine Tails while he still uses the powers on occasion. But Kishi clearly didn't know what to do with what I feel like is a really interesting transformation and character trait.
>>283015205I feel like Sasuke could still beat foxruto but he'd have to go all out to do it, he would definitely be forced into his stage 2 transformation and set up Kirin. As long as Naruto doesn't get to 6 tails sasuke still has a chance of winning
>>283011356>Oroshimaru gets negdiff'd by three tailsHe really doesn't.
>>283010640Hoaw is Oro using his arm to lean on the tree? Hasn't he lost the ability to use them?
>>283010699Thank you OP.
>>283012802Naruto didn't need the fox's power in Part I because he used scheming, deception, and art of the shadow doppelganger to win. Only Neji, Sasuke, Gaara, and Kimimaro required Fox power. Part I was him barreling at high speeds with a left hook. Part II, the Akatsuki are professional criminals who hunt beasts for sport and can seal his power. He lost to Sasuke because the Sharigan can anticipate his moves and he's just charging at straight line
>>283015205>he could've obliterated Sasori and Deidara in the caveDoubt. 3-tails is strong but not that strong. They literally specialize in hunting jinchuriki, including the full sized tailed beasts. The two of them at once aren't jobbing to v1 cloak.>and Sasuke would've been dragged back to Konoha in a comaSasuke's base sharingan was enough to suppress Naruto from using it when they met again in part 2
>>283015944>Only Neji, Sasuke, Gaara, and KimimaroSo...like 85% of his opponents?
>>283015977Everyone can outsmart him
>>283015944>Only Neji, Sasuke, Gaara, and Kimimaro required Fox power....and Haku, and Orochimaru in the forest of death.
>>283010496He got blown back by an impact that didn't hit him.
>>283011492It's Orochimaru's replacement jutsu, according to Itachi it consumes a lot of chakra.
>>283010538>Yamato: Did Sakura really job that easily?
>>283012232Boruto is kinda "go home Boruto", every time Jura appears he teleports back to his base.For now he kinda recruited Inojin.
>>283015898He doesn't have chakra points or fine motor control in them because they keep rotting away.
>>283015999Orochimaru likes taking time off his busy schedule to bully starving orphans. He shuts down fox power to spite Naruto's dad and Jiraya for not making him Fourth Hokage.
>>283010589>Sai: Later bitches!>Yamato: Well shit...
>>283011356Remember, Jiraya said he almost died to four tails and Orochimaru has a lot of hackery that Jiraya would never dream to use, a lot simply out of principle.
>>283013775Doesn't he summon the Rashomon gates during this fight?
>>283016133Blood contract with walls.
>>283010496Thats pretty standard at this point right, most characters can casually punch through a brick wall but also tank those same punches
Weird with all the weird shit he can do Orochimaru didn't get his arms back by this point. Feels like it should've been something like "yeah he just could use them again once he jumped bodies."
>>283016170Kabuto in particular can heal himself in the moment of impact which is how he somewhat tanked the rasengan.
>>283010127kill yourself narutard
>>283010300
What happens to the Jinchuriki upon their death? Does the Biju die with them?
>>283010420Konoha girls FAINT in the presence of TAILruto.
>>283010589Thot? PATROLLED.
>>283016513Yes, but later it's retconned that Biju reincarnate after death, wich happens when Isobu dies with Rin but is still around for the main story.
>>283010616She just got Gwen Stacy'd
>>283016552Yagura became the Jinchuriki of Isobu after Rin died.
>>283016581Yes, that's what I was saying, Isobu needs to reincarnate after Rin's death to allow for Yagura becoming its jinchuriki.
>>283010699This is the third chapter that ends with Orochimaru talking about powerscaling Naruto and Sasuke.
>>283016542>>283016552Faggot
>>283016552>it's retconned that Biju reincarnate after deathThis wasn't a retcon.
>>283016576I like the verticality and readability here, but the total lack of kinetism is jarringIf the artist wants to inform us that the recoil snapped Gwen's neck he could have drawn something with better arching inertia instead of writing SNAP and calling it a day
>>283016688It the editor talking via Oro>please keep reading soon Sasuke vs Naruto please I know this is bad keep reading
>>283017047It was, Kurama's behavior wasn't the one of someone who was just freed if its host died in part 1.>>283017118But that's still bad.
>>283017150>But that's still badWell this is a bad manga, what do you want from me?
>>283010420>>283010495Holy kek. Also nice save Yamato
>>283010589KEK
>>283010699Fucking hell the snakeman is gross. Very late thanks OP.
>>283010127I know why it is, but it's still weird to see sasuke's part 1 design with the other part 2 designs
>>283013403the general fan-consensus at the time was that they were fully healed with the body-switch. Which is why it's really weird that the lost arms were brought up again hundreds of chapter later in the war-arc
>>283017334*war saga
>>283010398>sasuke retrieval arc>immediate next arc is about destroying a bridge in the Land of Grass>kazekage retrieval arc>immediate next arc is about destroying a bridge in the Land of Grassit's like a pun or something
>>283010699Thx
>>283017150>It wasNot it wasn't faggot. It was literally never said they die for good.
>>283017444Yes, but Kurama's behaviour clearly showed it.
>>283017334>the general fan-consensus at the time was that they were fully healed with the body-switchNo the consensus was that they were partially healed, as in not stone, but still can't use hand signs since the soul isn't in them.
>>283017444
>>283017446>YesGlad you agree you're a lying faggot.
>>283017465>posts page where it doesn't say he'll die for goodWow you sure showed me.
>>283017463>the soul isn't in themIsn't the souls of Orochimaru now a snake one?Do snake's souls have arms?
>>283017463nobody in part 2 is ever using hand seal combinations for anything anyway
>>283017118>Naruto vs. Sasuke doesn't even happen at the end of the arc and never does until the literal end of the manga.Lucky for them, Naruto vs. Sasuke wasn't the draw for me with this series.
>>283013088Looks like mostly concrete with one layer of plywood on top.The rope snapping didn't even do anything, so the bridge is clearly sturdy.
>>283015205I like the excuse he made after this arc of>I can't control who I attack and I don't want to hurt my friends on accidentlike what happened to Sakura
>>283016086Sage Jiraiya would've smashed 4 tails without breaking a sweat.
>>283016186it's his inner spirit that was sealed, not his physical arms. it transfers from one body to the next
>>283017470I said that already speedreaderbro.
>>283017776He probably said something bad about Sasuke and Naruto instantly went furry mode, so Jiraiya didn't have the time to activate the sage mode.
>>283016552So it gets reborn inside a random infant?
>>283017825he said he was going to help naruto train to control it, and deliberately loosened the seal.
>>283017850I think Isobu was actually captured again after respawning and sealed within Yagura.Kurama tho was reborn directly within Himawari, probably because of her connection with Naruto,
I think it would've been funny to see Hinata train under Jiraiya
>>283018248>the Konoha girls train three years under JiraiyaCan they take on Chuunin Exams Neji now?
>>283018377>they learn the art of kunoichi seductionthey'd hard counter everyone not named Kaguya or Orochimaru
>>283018377Tbf, Hidan and 99% of Jônins from outside of Konoha couldn't take on chuunin exams Neji.
>>283018429Every male except Hiruzen and Ebisu is gay or autistic here
>>283018445>make the strongest character in the setting by mistake in your second arc>try your damn hardest for 600+ chapters to not make his curbstomp the entire setting>kill him to remove the problem in a stupid wayGreat work Kishi
>>283018448the sexy jutsu works against everyone Naruto tries it against
>>283018481>Killer Bee
>>283018475It's more that shinobi that Kishimoto didn't want to be relevant to the plot are automatically insanely weak.
>>283010398>>283010420he tanked this
>>283018501that's just because Naruko was too flat for him
>>283018377They would become weaker.
>>283018617>weaker than base Konoha girlsH-How...?
>>283018673They could be non-Konoha girls.
>>283018723Temari and Tayuya were non-Konoha girls in the Chuunin Exam and each would have wiped the floor with all of them together tho
>>283015944He lost to Sasuke's plot shield making him tank full fox combos like nothing
>>283015944>he used scheming, deception, and art of the shadow doppelganger to winIn what manga?
>>283018746Well Tenten beats Kakuzu!
>>283018377>impregnated day 1Yep, I don't think that would work
>>283010420>AIEE SAVE ME GRANNY CHIYO
>>283010576>>283014484>>283016044Consider that he likely read a report on their last mission where she's credited with helping take on an Akatsuki member and winning, then the first thing she does at the start of combat is trip and knock herself out.Yamato must be completely nonplussed.
>>283019828>she's credited with helping take on an Akatsuki member and winning>Yamato before this mission>So, Sakura, can you describe the fight?>Chiyo controlled me like a puppet in order for me to survive and hit Sasori>Did you do something by yourself?>I used an antidote to counter the poison>No, I mean, in the combat, as a fighter>Not really>So you're support medical ninja?>My specialty is retard strenght frontal assault, sir
>>283019743How WAS granny chiyo that powerful?
>>283019865People in Naruto get a powerboost when committing kinslaying
>>283010398>Yep, that's me>>283010398
>>283010127>>283010186Nice to see that Neji was at least still somewhat popular at the beginning of part 2.
>>283011327>>283012087Is Iruka really the only male character they like to pair Kakashi with? I'm kinda surprised there aren't more fujos who are into Kakashi x Kabuto.
>>283019859After the first half she adapted and didn't need granny Chiyo to puppeteer her.
>>283020228Neji is just Sasuke without the edgy emo angst
I'm enjoying the solid number of upskirts in Ultimate Ninja Storm.
>>283020872Neji was really edgy, he only grew up
>>283022587he was pretty angry and fatalistic but not really edgy. He was a stickler for rules and authority, if anything. Way too 'prim'.
>>283022766if I were to put a word to it, 'pompous' is what I'd call him
>>283010589Sai is the biggest winner in Naruto.
>>283010186Gaara's baby hands
>>283017463>No the consensus was that they were partially healed, as in not stone, but still can't use hand signs since the soul isn't in them.He did use his hands to summon the Triple Rashomon gates, but it wasn't clear if that involved hand seals or not at the time.
>>283020266Kabuto is Orochimaru's btoy, though. I would rather expect Kakashi x Itachi. The douji plot: instead of physically torturing Kakashi in the genjutsu, Itachi sends him to the island of Yaoi, where Kakashi's mind breaks from the pleasure.
>>283020872The only similarities between them is that they're "geniuses" with ocular jutsus. Other than that, Neji is a lot more level headed and talkative than Sasuke ever was.
>>283023864>The douji plot: instead of physically torturing Kakashi in the genjutsu, Itachi sends him to the island of Yaoi, where Kakashi's mind breaks from the pleasure.I've thought of that idea a couple times before.
>>283018248What girl would be dumb enough to train under Jiraiya and think they won't get assaulted?
>>283024040>Konan>doesn't remember the filler saga where he Sakura and Naruto go on a missionhe's not a lolicon
>>283023914>a lot more level headed and talkativeThe fifteen concussions and four comas in a row really did a number on Sasuke
>>283024336They're too old to be loli
>>283024470the genin girls are all loli except Tenten
>>283023957You know, the world of Naruto is a pervert's heaven. Transform into any person. Create clones for some orgy (don't forget, after the jutsu canceling, you'll feel what ALL the clones felt). Tompeep anyone. Have sex while on the ceiling. Mind control anyone. Buy a slave from Orochimaru (for the extra payment he can modify the body). Use genjutsu to experience your wildest fantasies, even if they defy the laws of nature. Exotic things like the mouth hands or people who can transform into water. Not to mention the details like sapient animals and the reviving of the dead.
>>283023957>>283024681My favorite idea for a doujin is Madara coming back to the Leaf after Hashirama died and Tobirama became hokage, where he rapes Tobirama and uses genjutsu on him to make him believe he fucked him in front of the whole village, humiliating and mindbreaking him.
>>283019865She was way too old to have kids by time she was introduced so she didn't get Kishimoto's signature womb debuff
>>283024618As a lolicon, you're wrong
>>283024681>Buy a slave from Orochimaru (for the extra payment he can modify the body)This is the peace people died for just as Naruto dreamed
>>283025293Orochimaru is Naruto's Manhattan Project.
>>283025244>t. zoomed who unironically uses the term 'hebe'
>>283025042What if Madara tricked Tobirama into thinking he used genjutsu to rape and humiliate him in front of all of Konoha, but right before Tobirama reaches climax he reveals that the genjutsu had ended a long time ago.
>>283025600Your vocabulary must be quite limited if you think hebe is a neology zoomed up recently.I'm old school and am partial to nymphet
>>283026138Now that I think about it, what's Tobirama powerlevel?Beyond being a genius mad scientist who made every broken jutsu in the setting, what feat does he have?He became Hokage because he was the brother of living god village founder Hashirama, does he have notable victories while alive?
>>283019859Disingenuous speedreader
>>283026554it's modern slang usage as a sibling to 'loli' is indeed very recent. I.e., last three or so years. go look it up in the archives, essentially non-existent usage before the 2020s.
Why do these threads always break down into retarded arguments?
>>283020583>>283026693So is Sasori and therfore the strongest Kazekage in history extremely weak or is Kishimoto a retard?
>>283026623Didn't he blitz Jubito with his FTG or something?
>>283026725>it's modern slang usage as a sibling to 'loli' is indeed very recentInteresting, I always seen it used as a different category from loli, implying that loli are pre-pubescent while hebe are either pubescent or at the cusp of biological sexual maturity
>>283026817I asked while alive, not Edo Tensei version
>>283027023>creating all the most lethal jutsu is somehow not a fear>ignoring he killed Madara's brotherUr dumb
>>283026995it's a distinction that nobody cared to make until very recently. I'm old enough to remember when actual teens were called 'loli'. The characters in Lucky Star were called 'loli'.
>>283027130>Madara's brotherI forgor about Izuna, my bad
>>283026767The second, you coula argue Sakura is really capable in analyzing mechanical movements like the ones of dolls, but it would be a baseless headcanon, as it's never brought up again.
>>283025503No, Orochimaru is Naruto's Operation Paperclip
>>283027521That makes no sense
>>283027568>evil scientist gets pardoned by the military winner of a global conflict because they're more useful alive
>>283027622You left out the main part where the scientist where foreign "enemies" that were transferred to domestic use. Orochimaru originated in Konoha so that doesn't really make sense.
>>283027746It's not a perfect analogy man, it's the vibe
please tell me one of you knows the name of the track playing when gaara starts trying to talk no jutsu sasuke, i've been looking for an hour and can't find ithttps://youtube.com/watch?v=r81fvwYiMIw&t=243s
Chapter 293: Rampage...!!
>>283028778Oh, what the hell? You're here early.
>>283027023The Edo Tensei version isn't any stronger than the alive one in this case. He's a monster, one of the strongest Kages around. Confident enough to fight Madara.
>>283021130Post them
>>283028821He's so fucking gay
>>283028778I never fully realized most of these covers are just characters standing in one-colored backgrounds.
>>283028821>Sasuke be likehttps://www.playphrase.me/#/search?q=leave+me+alone&pos=3&language=en
>>283028778Bruh. Why can't you post consistently? Never know when these chapters are gonna drop
>>283028873Same energy
>>283028969you may not be aware but they're daily chapters, they happen once every dayhope this helps!
>>283028969No dump has a schedule, as I've said if you never hear anything past 8:00 mountain time, then I'm not available and someone will cover.
>any post criticizing OP>racist posts emerge Weird how that only happens when the warehouse worker is here.
>>283029035You may not be aware, but most storytimes/daily's usually drop chapters at the same time everyday. Hope this helps!
>>283029070>most>usuallythese words have a meaning, hopefully you can figure out what it is!
>>283029114So, if Wood Clones are corporeal like Kage Bushin, do they also require an absurd amount of mana that would kill most men or Hashirama was just born with a better version of an already broken jutsu his brother copied?
>noooo you can't criticize anything OP doesI'm nooootttcccingg
>>283029070They drop whenever the guy posting them has the time to do it.
>>283029185>these are the powers of a jinchurikiNo, actually most of them are so weak we don't even see them being captured on-screen and beside Naruto and Killer Bee they really are nothing special in the grand scheme of things
>>283029227Or, you know, just set a time for the drops and someone else can dump them if OP is mia. How storytimes are usually done
>>283028821Naruto drowning in piss is a metaphor for how much he pisses Sasuke off.
ENTER Chapter 293: Rampage...!!ENDTomorrow: The Fourth Tail...!!
>>283029287I thought you were adamantly uninterested in him because he's mediocre as fuck the last time you saw him.
>>283029292>How storytimes are usually doneNo they're not, lmao. They don't have more than 1 op dumping chapters except for special occasions like when they get banned.
>>283029292You're setting the bar based on no evidence.
>>283029287Now, I'm no professional editor, but Kishi's paneling makes me wonder what even editors do when they "check" the proposed chapter if things like this are publishedpicrel took one minute, someone who is paid said nothing?
>>283028881don't feel like transferring screenshots from my ps4. All you have to do is pick any of the girls with skirts and either get knocked down or do certain combos and they flash everything.
>>283029362>>283029389Newfags
>>283029476>not an argument
Pacing this arc has grinded to a halt, god damn. It took three chapters for Naruto to go from seeing Orochimaru to reach the four tails form.
>>283029558I miss Sasori. He knew how to fucking zoom between his forms like nobody else.
>>283029558If these chapters were being released weekly today, people would constantly be calling them nothingburgers.
>>283029693One of my favorite "what ifs?" is imagining how old shounen manga would land if they came out today with modern shounen community behavior.
>>283010589I can't stop fucking laughing.
>>283028961>>283029329Fucking sick
Sasjeet is the indian of indians
>>283029114Yamato is cool
>>283029166Probably the wood clones don't give you their chakra and memories when they disappear
>>283029114What if Yamato instantly dies while casting the wood clone jutsu? Will the corpse be a human-tree amalgamation?
>oh sauceke I'm gonna coomWhat kishi mean by this?
>>283029185I want these indestructible glasses.
>>283010186Minato being stable in the top of all popularity polls even before he showed up in Kakashi Gaiden always was the signature of a great premise and gripping character concept.
>>283029262Does this clear Temari's tanuki?>>283029287Did Oro change his mind on powerscaling?
>>283029760The average Dragon Ball chapter would break internet in half every other week
>>283028961That's deadly
>>283029432Kishimoto's paneling has issues but your version isn't better here. Oro's two panels reaction matters.
>>283010398Kishimoto loves his expanding all-consuming orbs doesn’t he?
>>283029329This thing was a pain in the ass to fight in one of the PSP games. Thanks OP.
>>283030305Dragon Ball is fast paced but also too high IQ for modern shonenshitters unironically. It wouldn't have enough space to breathe.
>>283030330>Oro's two panels reaction matters.I disagree. This fixation Kishi has with "cinematic" shots, with incremental panning and multi-panel zooms slows down the page without adding anything
>>283028961>>283029211So this is Naruto's skin being peeled off, and is part of the reason he's all red in this form?
>>283030367First panel is meant to make the reader slightly anxious with the zoom on his grin, conveying careful observation, before the second panel shows the conclusion and Oro being both in a vulnerable position (knocked back? knocked down?) but also ready to strike with his unconventional snake moves, scheming and preparedThe two panels are probably more important than showing Sai is still on the move towards them. You could skip Sai's.
>>283030363>Dragon Ball is too high IQWhat a terrifying reality we live in
>>283028778>Taking a dip in water togetherTruly the ship of all time>>283029114>Shadow>Wood>Sand>Water>etc.What's even the difference between all these clones?
>>283029329Imagine if he starting fucking Sakura in the ass haha
>>283010420>>283010589>>283010616I really don’t understand people who say Hinata should’ve been in team 7 if THIS is the shit Kishimoto would have her do.
>>283030425>You could skip Sai'sFunny part is, I wanted to, I just made a shitty editing in a minute, I would have moved Sai in another pageThe two shot may be better made with an unbalanced panelingMaybe picrel works bestPoint is, there's a lot of wasted space that stops the flow
>>283030598Shadow and Wood can apparently be made from nothing and are brokenAll other elements require either raw material or making the raw material out of nothing via chakra, something that in big enough quantity was a Kage tier feat
>>283017097How much more do you want her neck to bend?
>>283030722Yeah I agree with your general point the flow is a bit weird. It's not really bad because at its core it's still a page that portrays three different simultaneous perspectives so it's bound to have some cuts but I'm sure there'd be better ways to do so
>>283030763About 20% more
>>283028849>>283028873This is when we should’ve first seen fox in this arc. This >>283010275>>283010300 served no purpose.
>>283029185Sick acrobatics, Yamato.
>>283031058okay but >>283010300 looks dope as hellSay what you want about Kishimoto he's currently handling the art pretty well
>>283029329As much as I hate these forms Kishi is just flexing his stroke drawing style here. It is pretty impressive.
>>283031262>>283014206In B&W looks much less impressive
>>283031557The opposite for me, I think the B&W looks so much better especially the bottom panel
>that filler arc where the Uchiha aren't massacred and Sasuke turns the Police Force into a fascist paramilitarykek, he was doomed from the start
>>283010821It's common but anything outside of the top 3 is humiliating
>>283028849>>283028873I miss when Kurama was just a satanic beast without any real lore behind it
>>283031749That filler was so stupid kek
>>283010821Deidara is a blue-eyed blonde with the same personality type as Naruto, people just momentarily got them mixed up. It could happen to anyone.
>>283031998I'm having fun with it.>"Tobi" is an edo-tensei Hizashi
Is this the part of the manga where Kishi's art peaked
>>283032099that's not a comfortable position to hold
>>283032050I dunno when the poll was taken but Deidara had by the time of this chapter just come off the best run of any character in the series, an entire arc of him making basically every major character look like a chump including Kyuubi Naruto. It would not be the least bit surprising that he would've picked up a wave of popularity just from that.
>>283032099This was Naruto's strongest form in Jump Ultimate Stars.
>>283030683More cute interactions with ruto although it might end up in a orihime situation
>>283032183Naruto doesn't have a problem with uncomfortable positions if it's for Sasuke.
>>283016150It’s so stupid that i know it’s most likely canon. I’m not even gonna check.
>>283032261Considering that and this shit later on in the series, people must have thought was Deidara was like top ten of the entire series for a hot minute.
>>283032362I mean.... He kind of is? Even super high tier characters like Sage Kabuto would have a hard time handling him on his bird
>>283032362I think he genuinely was one of the top members of the Akatsuki. definitely ahead of Hidan and Sasori.
>>283010127>last time you appeared you tried to kill Naruto>take the first spotThis says a lot
>>283032414>>283032415Yeah, that's the thing. By everything we see, he should be one of the strongest motherfuckers in the entire world, but the story treats him like a middle-of-the-road threat that Sasuke gets over before he even fights Itachi. He went from Top 10 to Top 30 at best and it's wild that that happens.
>>283010821Only protag I ever saw consistently get top 1 is Luffy, though, he probably would've gotten 2nd and Law 1st in Dressrosa if they didn't count the Lucy votes as Luffy's too. Because Law in that era even took Zoro's 2nd.
>>283032482Deidara was unironically a bigger threat to Sasuke than Itachi was before he asspulled Susanoo
>>283032509That's kind of obvious. Make one wrong step against Deidara and you've died from an explosion. Meanwhile Itachi had Tsukuyomi which Sasuke could tank, and Amaterasu (which Sasuke had to snake his way out of). Other than that he's just a scrub with a kunai and a katon (lol)
>>283029693Which is why I stopped weekly reading so that it doesn't feel I'm waiting all this time just to be met with barely progression.
>>283032344We’d definitely have some elite shitposting based on the panels of her (hypothetical) reaction to Naruto’s gay tantrums. Even if they were mostly blank or she was polite and understanding.>Is this really the man I’ll have to marry?>The root weirdo is starting to look real manly by comparison>Neji may have been right after all
>>283032362If Deidara had made it to his prime, say his thirties, I think he'd have been in the conversation of top 5 ninja ever.
>>283030683Hinata has genetic hax and could've actually contributed, unlike Jobkura who spends all of part 1 being deadweight and part 2 being a plot device after her one pity W.
>>283010127I'm somewhat surprised Minato made it inAnd wow, Naruto has the same hair AND eye color as the fourth hokage? Weird coincidence.
>>283032633>Sai>manlyhe looks like he just walked off the set of Rocky Horror
>>283032661He’s cold and composed, chicks like that.
>>283032842Fuck. Meant for >>283032780
>>283032183It doesn't look like it's intended to be comfortable
>>283032842he's a zesty fruit.
>>283029432>>283030330>>283030722All this is pointless, if you wanted to speed up the pacing you'd storyboard it completely differently from the start. I think the reason Shonen pacing gets so slow at times is because >1. The convention is for every chapter has to end on something happening, a reveal, a big move, a cliffhanger of some kind. This makes things awkward if you want a multi-chapter fight.>2. Let's be honest, Shonen mangaka are flying by the seat of their pants most of the time and I suspect they get caught in a loop of "I'll figure everything out next week I just have to get this chapter finished" so they cram a chapter full of filler to buy time. Then, "Oh crap I have to do a volume cover and a color page ah fuck I'll figure out where all this is going NEXT week, this time for sure" and repeat
>>283032980Why don’t they unionise? Demand at least two weeks to do those stupid chapters.
>>283032337Sad that they never made a better SJ crossover game than this one, and I have no interest in a nu-SJ crossover game.
>>283033019because they're independent contractors, goofball. the manga industry isn't like the (((American comic industry))), Mangaka work for themselves and own their creations, and merely license it out to publishers.
>>283033094Yes, he's basically the upper limit right before Hashirama shit
>>283033094Became a long-distance rinnegan user by research and grave robbing.
>>283032414>super high tier characters>Sage KabutoAnon pls
>>283010127Wait, Naruto names are all in kana?
>>283033131Name people weaker than Hashirama who can beat him in a 1v1. Izanami doesn't really count as "beating him" in principle anyway but even if we allowed it Itachi would have lost in a 1v1.
>>283032980Shounen pacing suffers from volume arrangement. Everything is set to perfectly fit a volume. If you see pacing getting fucked, it's because it's trying to fill the amount of chapters for a volume and having them represent a certain part of the story.
>>283017444>>283017485Why would you ever assume he WOULDN'T die for good at this point?Yagura wouldn't be stated to be a jinchuriki until many years later, besides, do you know how off that would sound?>If you die, so do i...for real, like no rebirth and shit.Nobody says that, specially when reviving people wasn't something common at the time.>>283018445>>283018475>>283018377Part 1 Lee and Neji are easily the most overhyped low tier characters in this story.>>283028821This shit is gayer than actual BL.
>>283032128>>283032099>>283029366>>283029329>>283014562>>283010699Arigatou, OP!My ban has finally expired.
>>283033114>>283033125Forgot about Edo Tensei crap. Still, he’s way too situational. If that battle happened anywhere but the cave i doubt he’d cause much problem to EMS Sasuke and Itachi.
>>283033211No Edo Tensei. Just with pure stats mogging alone.>muh caveDoesn't really matter that much. He's still destroying you in ninjutsu while dodging anything you throw at him.
>>283014259>>283014283>>283014303This aura would've killed Sasori btw.
>>283033227Yeah sure, i’d like to see him try and aurvive in a forest that Sasuke set on fire with Amaterasu.
>>283033266Sasori was afraid of women, not gays
>>283033266why did they give Naruto black lipstick when he used the Kyubi cloak?
>>283033266That ragdolling Kabuto would've annihilated Tenten and Ino
>>283033335To measure his abilities (how far he can deepthroat Sasuke)
>>283033160Kisame, Gai, even Tsuchikage.
>>283033276>AmaterasuNEVER EVER worked
>>283033379Fried Bee’s ass. Almost KWABed Obito only to get countered by another one of Sharingan’s gay powers.
>>283033166Oh god I hadn't even thought of that. Being a mangaka is hard as shit, it's honestly surprising any successful ones go back to weekly serialization. If I had an existing fanbase I'd 100% just to independent web-serialization just to not have to think about all this shit.
>>283033373>KisameLol, lmao even. You picked a character who Kabuto actually goes out of his way to hard counter, not just mog like the others, he actually hard counters the guy. Kisame can't absorb nature chakra because he'll turn into stone.>GuyAssuming he can actually hit him and doesn't get LOL WATER negated, yes he could with the 8 gates, but 8 gates Guy is also able to beat the shit out of Madara so he obviously doesn't count. 6-7 gates probably less likely.>TsuchikageThe only one who has a chance because Jinton kills but probably still lose. Easily a top 10 contender btw
>>283033418>Fried Bee’s assClone.>Almost KWABed Obito >Almost
>>283033266This feels less large scale somehow. Did they cut the huge explosion or is it just edited like that?
>>283033335it's supposed to be like fox gums.
>>283033435>Kisame can't absorb nature chakra because he'll turn into stoneDoesn’t need to, just drown that clown in a bubble of piss or tear him to shreds while under Samehada buffs >GuyAssuming he can actually hit him and doesn't get LOL WATER negatedNever happens, Itachi could keep up with Kabuto’s movements. Gai just speedblitzes him.>he could with the 8 gatesNo need, Hirudora = GGs for Kabuto.
>>283033458>CloneSubstitution>AlmostYes, and?
>>283028778Kishi can't help himself drawing gay stuff
>>283033563The bubble wont do shit, Kabuto mogs. He has all elements and bullshit jutsu to deal with that and his chakra isn't being sucked off so he has no real time limit.>Itachi could keep up with Kabuto’s movementsItachi couldn't hit Kabuto normally at all. And he was also able to keep up with KCM Naruto so he just scales to whatever is around. Kabuto still blitzed Itachi multiple times.8 gates Guy can win if the hits actually work on the liquid body but he beats literally anyone else in the setting.>Hirudora Barely able to beat Kisame (weakened Kisame btw) (hard counter because taijutsu). Kabuto absolutely tanks or manages it. Guy has no answer to half of Kabuto's toolkit. Genjutsu alone takes almost everyone in the verse.
>>283028961Let's hope the fox chakra is hot because without skin you can die of hypothermic
>>283033563Is it possible to drown Suigetsu? Or to tear him to shreds? Kabuto has the same ability.
>>283010300>BLAAAAARF
>>283029185Yamato styling with a flip
>>283033435How would he do?
>>283033718*teleports behind you*"heh, nothing personnel"
>>283033718He has decent chances, it's a bit of a stalemate because Kabuto is very hard to kill but Minato can just NOPE TELEPORT out of almost anything you throw at himI'd say 50/50 depending on how Kishimoto feels and who gets to land a critical blow somehow
>>283029287I'n the last two chapters oro devolved into a mouth piece for the audience The fuck does he mean "never cease to amaze me" you have met this guy once
>>283030651Zone ...
>>283033750Twice actually
>>283010234He looks awfully pleased with himself. For what reason?
>>283028849>sealno it's a fox. this is a shitty zoo.
>>283033779Aura farming.
Do shinobis have the resist to the jutsus they cast? Could Sasuke burn his lips when he used the fireball?
>>283032362His clay bombs plus flight and slipperiness is an amazing combo. He's fast enough that he's basically guaranteed to be airborne on his bird and when that happens, he just bombs the shit out of anyone. There's genuinely only a handful of ninja that can deal with him. C4 especially is one of the most broken jutsus ever.
>>283029114Wood style can just do fucking anything with 0 hand signs required. Clasp your hands and you're good to go
>>283033616>The bubble wont do shitSays you?>Itachi couldn't hit Kabuto normally at allCut his horn, blocked his attacks, only got hit while defending Sasuke’s dumb ass.>Barely able to beat KisameAnd Madara’s V2 Susanoo. Tell me, how did Kabuto handle Susanoo? Oh right, he didn’t.>Genjutsu alone takes almost everyone in the verseGood luck catching supersonic giga-ninja with that.
>>283028986>"dammit Sakura can you not be useless more than once?"
>>283032054I changed my mind, it has gotten significantly worse as soon as they shifted Sasuke's goals from authority to raw lust for power. He's basically pulled a complete 180° on his stickler for rules and obedience to the village
>>283033266Did Kabuto actually think he could take on Kyuubi Mode Naruto?
>>283033865>Says you?Yes. For obvious reasons.>Cut his hornNot an actual hit, just a little oopsie, Kabuto dodged but isn't used to having horns.>And Madara’s V2 SusanooThat's 8 gates Guy.>Good luck catching supersonic giga-ninja with that.He needs to be around to punch people in the face.I was going to repost the page where Kabuto just slices Itachi in half like nothing (Itachi isn't protecting anyone, he just got blitzed) but this is probably even better. Kabuto shat on Sasuke's Katon with a fucking Suiton jutsu. He just mogs the shit out of (You)r ninjutsu.
>>283033779>man I look good>one design for both pre and post timeskip and I just keep getting screentime>I even got to touch Tsunade's tits and got away with it
>>283033912his intent was to try and shut off his chakra before it got out of control, he didn't intend for a straight fight
>>283030201It probably goes poof and disappears.
>>283033949And Kabuto thought he was skilled enough to turn it off...?
>>283014259>>283033912It’s on the same level of recklessness as Hinata going up against Pain but anons here aren’t ready for that conversation.
>>283033973he has those chakra scalpels that let him deactivate chakra points, remember?
>>283033989Kabuto isn't a teenage girl with a crush, though.
>>283011024Wasn't she KO'd by Kabuto's body in the anime? And then the fucker heals her, cause that's how he rolls I guess
>>283030399That's the implication, yeah.>>283033750This would be the third time.
>>283034028Gentle Fist couldn't suppress the fox, but Kabuto's chakra scalpers can? If it was that easy, why have someone like Yamato who is infused with the 1st Hokage's DNA on the team and just have some goober who can manipulate chakra points (A Hyuga)?
>>283034028Kishimoto wasn't consistent with that shit even in the arc it happened.
Hiruzen beats sage Kabuto but only if he has homefield advantage
>>283010127>>283010186>Tsunade less popular than the likes of Hayate, Genma, Shino, or even TayuyaGoddamn. Guess even the nips think she's a retarded Hokage.
>>283034227Sasuke Retrieval, Rescue Kazekage, and this arc have her issuing missions that could've turned for the worse if it wasn't for pure luck and the plot simply bending over backwards for the MC/MCs.
>>283033989Hinata was desperate to save Nart from PainKabuto is protective of Orochimaru, but he's clearly not in grave danger here. Kabuto just went full retard.
>>283034227She is literally the least retarded hokage. Hashirama handed out Tailed Beasts and started an era of basically nuclear world wars. Tobirama couldn't stop being autistic about the Uchiha and set up a time bomb for the village that would have basically led to its destruction had a cuck like Itachi not been born, then killed himself instead of using the Flying Thunder God to just take his whole squad back to Konoha, and Hiruzen fucked up so many times it's not even funny. Minato, despite only being Hokage for a year somehow managed to fail to use Sage Mode when his wife and child were in danger, and instead of just sealing the Nine Tails back into his wife and saving her life, decides to kill himself with a super sealing jutsu instead of staying alive with his wife to raise his son and protect the village after it just got decimated by the strongest tailed beast. Out of all the 5 Tsunade has the least amount of completely retarded bullshit to lay at her feet.Even if you try to blame her for shit like the Sasuke Retrieval arc, Kishimoto went out of his way to cuck her by not having any ninja in the village because Hiruzen was so fucking dumb he didn't try and stop his allies from building resentment towards him by stealing their economic opportunities, and got a bunch of ninja killed by his former student who he allowed to live.
>>283034227>dreams of being the hokage's wife instead of the hokage>quits the second the war is overEven Tsunade knows she's not cut out for it
>>283034089it's not a matter of if he actually could, but rather Kabuto thinking he couldearlier on it's established he knows next to nothing about jinchuriki abilities.
>>283034157kek
>>283034343shoulda been Jiraiyahe would've renamed Konoha to Eroha
>>283030651
>>283028961Ouchie.
>>283010420>AIEE!
>>283033211Part of Kabuto's sage mode is that he can control the environment, much like Kaguya can just warp the landscape in her dimensions to attack. Kabuto claiming that he was the closest to the sage of six paths wasn't so laughable when you consider that he was incrementally getting closer in every aspect to an otsutsuki.
>>283034721>inbefore ayy lmaos are actually dragons
>>283028961so, is it supposed to be his skin burning off and it's just raw muscle and viscera underneath the blood-chakra cloak?
>>283010821>Is it a bad sign when the MC isn't the most popular character in a shonen manga? Or is that common?Certainly learned from the best
I just realized: we spent like 3 or 4 chapters or whatever with Yamato halfheartedly trying to tardwrangle these three goobers into at least being able to somewhat work together as a team, and Sakura and Sai for like 5 minutes almost looked like they were building a little bit of rapport. Then, as soon as the chips went down, Naruto sperged out and turned into a screaming beast WMD, Sakura got oneshot by a literal gust of wind/Kabuto debris hitting her, Sai just said lol lmao and fucked off and left Sakura to fall to her death, and now poor Yamato is running around like a headless chicken trying to just get everyone out of here alive. What a fucking disaster.
>>283034863Kuwabara not being higher is a crime.
>>283034926>BEST HOKAGE
>>283034926this was Tsunade's brilliant idea, by the way
>>283034829Acktually
>>283028849a bear
>>283028961This was so fucking cool the first time I saw it. It's still fucking cool. Fuck the late manga transformations.
>>283029329ENTER
>>283033935>For obvious reasonsHis liquid form? Food for sharks. Jk, i guess Kabuto takes this one. Although Kisame might sacrifice Samehada to drain him of his nature chakra.>Not an actual hit, just a little oopsieThere were other hits and Itachi at one point even copies his suiton before it can go off>That's 8 gates GuyReread, he protected himself and B with it during the unmasked Obito x fresh from fighting kages Madara battle and that was nowhere near the time of his solo fight with Madara.>He needs to be around to punch people in the faceHe needs to hear the damn melody to be put under paralysis and at the speeds he's moving at he won't be hearing anything except the wind.>I was going to repost the page where Kabuto just slices Itachi in half like nothing (Itachi isn't protecting anyone, he just got blitzed)This page? It was already in Izanami wasn't it?
>>283029329If you guys think the pacing of this arc is bad now, imagine what it was like in the anime. Like people shit on DBZ for screaming all episode, but this actually happened during this arc. There was a one hour special and it was largely covering Naruto raging on the bridge.
>>283029329awesome form in a bad arc
>>283034926Yamato did nothing wrong and should be praised a lot more
>>283035263I remember the 2~ year hiatus the dub was on back then, so I ended up watching Shippuden subbed online because I couldn't wait. I ended up dropping the series around here precisely because of how draggy it was. The fight was pretty cool once it finally got to it, but that's it
>>283032099holy hatching nightmare. i wonder how long this took
>>283035246>There were other hitsNot really they never actually land a solid hit on him, dude is just untouchable for the entire fight. Izanami was basically the only way they could have won.>This page? It was already in Izanami wasn't it?Don't think so, I think he had to complete the loop again. I'm not willing to pretend the last third of the fight (before the Izanami reveal) was already genjutsu, even if I was this should reflect on Kabuto's capabilities and Itachi has clearly gotten btfo here>Reread, he protected himself and B with it during the unmasked Obito x fresh from fighting kages Madara battle and that was nowhere near the time of his solo fight with Madara.Forgot about that. Okay, maybe war Guy got another powerup before 8 gates, who knows, but the 7 gates guy who didn't stomp Kisame like a bug might not be able to take Kabuto.
>>283035309does anyone actually badmouth Yamato?
>>283035366One anon ITT says he's the worst character
>>283035365Kisame was supposed to be as strong as a jinchuriki in full meltdown. Even Bee struggled against him
>>283035424Not underselling Kisame, he's a beast, but he had a great matchup against Bee and Bee was also trying to save his buddy. I just wouldn't put him in the same level as the guy who was slapping edo Itachi and EMS Sasuke around without trouble.
>>283035365>they never actually land a solid hit on himHe's just slippery and Gai is faster than all of them anyway.>Itachi has clearly gotten btfo here Fair enough but he did drop his guard after Sasuke impaled the great snake. Okay, maybe war Guy got another powerup before 8 gatesActually i would say he got nerfed and Hirudora that obliterated Susanoo did less damage against Sage Madara than Sasuke's sword kek.
>>283035464Itachi was quietly scared of Kisame when they first met, he could tell Kisame was strong enough to be a serious threat to him. Neither was confident in their ability to kill the other, so existed in a state of cold war against each other for the duration of their partnership. Kisame gets underrated by the writing itself; the only time we ever see him fight hard is against Bee and it's implied that even then he was holding back looking for an opportunity to hide inside Samehada.
>>283035464Yet Kisame would eat the Uchiha brothers for breakfast. Naruto powerscaling is weird like that.
>>283035556>>283035543Can Kisame beat Itachi, let alone Itachi and Sasuke? They can probably use Susano to get around the water bubble. I'm guessing genjutsu wont work with Samehada helping?
>>283034977OH NO NO NO
>>283035575that is the question. Sasuke couldn't touch Bee without nearly killing himself, Kisame dominated him despite the writing implying he was pulling punches for much of the fight. We don't know just how strong Kisame was, because Kishi never gave him a chance to definitively go all-out
>>283032661True i guess, those lion shits may have actually came in handy here if they worked the way they were supposed to (i.e siphoning chakra). Who knows, we might've even got Mangekyo Byakugan before this whole manga was over.
>>283035618hell, he could just 'cut the knot' and asphyxiate them in their susanoo by using his water summon and then just following them around until they run out of air
>Kisame... you're jobbing....
>>283035658I wouldn't put it past Kishi to just handwave it with some bullshit about creating oxygen with fire.
>>283035735Itachi could've Susanoo'd Jiraiya right then and there and taken Naruto but instead fucked his eye with Amaterasu to escape
>>283035883Area too small for Susano, please understand.
>>283035735>Story goes out of its way to establish that Itachi is above Sannin level.>A few chapters later we're supposed to accept that Jiraiya alone is able to scare off Itachi and another Akatsuki member, who is later revealed to be a beast in his own right. Is Kishi retarded or something?
>>283036048Rock paper scissor powerscaling
>>283035657>Mangekyo ByakuganAfter Neji's death, definitely. The regular byakugan could've also received some buffs to make it closer to sharingan in utility like being able to see high-speed movements by ̶s̶q̶u̶i̶n̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶ ̶h̶a̶r̶d̶ injecting more chakra into your eye nerves, Hyuga gaining speed and power through higher level of control over their body and chakra system or even something autistic like Kurenai implanting genjutsu into Hinata's eyes somehow.
>>283034342Is there a single mentally stable, non-retarded character in this manga?
You are my friend!AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>283034953>>283034963the greatest gambler that's ever lived
>>283036185It seems some of her gambles with missions went right in the end in spite of everything.
>>283036078being able to see high-speed movements by ̶s̶q̶u̶i̶n̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶ ̶h̶a̶r̶d̶ injecting more chakra into your eye nerves, Hyuga gaining speed and power through higher level of control over their body and chakra systemThere really is no reason why all that isn't a thing in the actual manga.
>Ninjas acting like retards is somehow Tsunade’s fault>also Sai going rogue means women badChuds are still low IQ. This just shows how useless Jiraiya is, not her fault the Frog fag couldn’t teach Naruto emotional maturity on their ”training” journey.
>>283036185She was definitely a pro at timing the sexy times so that they won't result in babies.
Orochimaru did nothing wrong
>>283036201Gotta make Neji job to Kido, Deidara and spikes somehow. Hinata isn't allowed to look more impressive than Sakura as well.
Hiashi won.
>>283036324No need to worry about that when she wasn't getting any for 40 years
>>283036317>Ninjas acting like retards is somehow Tsunade’s faultIt is when she already knew they were retards before she sent them out
>>283036375...The "shittiest parent" award.
>>283036078The Hyuga had a very easy way to buff them, which was just making the Byakugans evolution capable of instantly sending chakra into the tenketsu to seal an opponent as long as they were in eyesight, and then puppet them. Like that's it. Just that ability alone would actually put them on the level worthy to be the main eyes of the Otsutsuki, but apparently those jobbers didn't think about replacing their jobber eyes with something better. Even the filler blood manipulation eyes, or the eyes of that one filler kid who could counter the Byakugan are better than whatever the fuck the Hyuga are seeing through. >>283036317As much as you're shit posting, you are right that it isn't Tsunades fault that Jiraiya was such an incompetent fuck he couldn't teach Naruto how to use his shadow clones to make up for the time wasted on the Nine Tails, or Sage Mode when that motherfucker figured out both in less time than the entire time skip. Genuinely how could she ever even imagine Jiraiya could possibly be that fucking stupid? At that point if she was anticipating that she might as well just ban Naruto from leaving and have him train with her.
>>283036400The biggest writing misstep in the series.
>>283036408Did she though? Naruto is the only real retard, and Sakura tricked even the majority of the fanbase into thinking she wasn't as dumb as she used to be. Sai is a Danzo tool, if he was dumb he wouldn't have survived Danzos autistic requirements. Even then Naruto is acting like an exceptionally mentally challenged person all the way until Jiraiya dies despite originally only having been uneducated, rude, and unsocialized.
>>283036100Ibiki
>>283036408She can’t predict Sai fucking over the mission. And memes aside, Naruto is the ninja with the best Win ratio during this time, with his only loss being a meme against Rock Lee and purposely holding back against Sasuke. He already beat Kabuto btw, she saw him do a kage level jutsu in front of her own eyes in a matter of a few weeks. He should be a legit powerhouse. Not her fault, Jiraiya is shit at coaching and the narrative is purposely working against her to give other characters conflicts and obstacles to overcome
>>283036100Iruka, and Ramen Guy. That's about it.
>>283036100Ayame and Ino, the latter just has a silly crush. The two guys in Tsunade’s office seem normalish.
>>283036100The boob lady honestly
>>283036435>just making the Byakugans evolution capable of instantly sending chakra into the tenketsu to seal an opponent as long as they were in eyesightI wouldn't go that far, just shutting down the opponent's chakra system after landing the air palm would be enough. Also that thing anime did where 64 palms grant them speed buff/slow-mo vision should've been canon, it's a great addition. At the higher level it should've just made the Hyuga untouchable, allowing them to flash step anywhere within the range of their Yin/Yang pentagram thingie and hit at the speed of Quiksilver. Would look dope in the anime.
>>283030201It just leaves
>>283036594The problem is that Kishimoto did go that far with the Sharingan. Could you imagine telling anyone that the Sharingan, just a base regular sharingan was capable of wielding a Genjutsu that could rewrite reality? The real problem with the escalation is that the Uchihas can warp reality, and summon gundams the size of mountain ranges while the Hyuga can barely get slow-mo in their most wanked state.
>>283036417...but enough about Rasa.
