>>283245031kill yourself narutard
>>283245031Hey an actual cool cover for once
>>283245069>using candles for lighting Guess they didn't have the time to put the fluorescent light in there yet.>>283245092>bottom left panelWas that really nesseary Kishi?
>>283245103>>283245120Admittedly it's cool seeing them do some actual infiltration stuff that you think ninja would be doing more often
Sai is such a prick.
>>283245274please be patienthe has autism
>>283245282Wait that's how the chapter ends? The fuck?
>>283245282Thanks OP. Any eta on ramen's return?>>283245326Danzo plotting to destroy Konoha is the cliffhanger, I guess.
>>283245033there's a book?
>>283245171>row of candles lighting corridoryeah those would need replacing ever other day at least, where are all the servants doing the upkeep?
This manga would have been so good if Naruto wasn't such a whiner most of the time. If he was more mature as he should have been. Even the lack of proper training and coming back from the training trip with no new techniques is not as bad as him being such a childish dumbass. The lovable dumbo protag is fine and all but there needs to be a limit to the dumbness. There needs to be growth. And Naruto had none of that.
>>283245120>>283245201>wood style jutsu can shapeshit individual body parts into shaped treesUnless that's another wood-clone Yamato again, then fuck it sure I guess it can just do that.
Until next time, anons.
I just like looking at sakuras legs
>>283245031Refreshing to have a good cover
>>283245052Do you think orochimaru has a candle guy who does nothing all day besides patrolling the hideout replacing and lighting candles?
>>283245460I haven't heard any word from him on the archives. Last I saw he was waiting for his appeal to come back to him, if it doesn't, the ban is supposed to be a month long.
>>283245171lmao what is this whole page, it perplexes me
>>283245563Candles that size burning 24/7 will need to be replaced at least a couple times a day.
>>283245031finally... a cover...
>>283245748>remembers he was told to prepare bingonight for his geriatric sugardaddy>realises he left the papers in the autist twink's jailcell>curses his own lack of autism as he turns back to go get them
>>283245151Naruto is really Metal Gear now
>>283245216Sai just keeps being right in front of nard
>>283245216Naruto is a fucking retard>>283245201Yamato keeps carrying the entire squad
>>283245805I'd be sent to remedial information security training if I just fucking left top secret documents somewhere even if nothing happens to them.
>>283245282The chapter just ends? No Cliff hanger or epic reveal? Just the guy talking and it ending in the middle of it
>>283245583Naruto has very rare and brief flashes of brilliance, but he's genuinely a fucking tard 90% of the time. Like, not even in an endearing way, more like a "holy shit shut the fuck up you're making everything worse" way.It feels as if he's constantly two steps away from throwing literal tantrums.
>>283245282Unironically what even was Dumbzo's long game? He is such a baffling character because it feels like Kishi was trying to really go a different way then realized or editors realized it wasn't working.
>>283245859It feels as if Kishi was gearing up to do some Metal Gear deep state type shit but then just gave up.
The only good thing about this whole arc was sakura legs
>>283245856He gets smarted whenever he uses Sage Mode, at the very least.
>>283245850The cliffhanger is "Will Kabuto get there while they're still talking"
>>283245929I feel so stupid for ever thinking that Naruto learning Sage Mode meant that he'd stop being a bullrushing retard and focus on calm and tactical approaches.
>>283245892Yeah like I don't hate the idea but Dumbzo seemed so aimless in his actions. Even after he dies there isn't some "ACTUALLY DONZO WAS A TRIPLE AGENT AND HE KNEW ABOUT MADARA AND BLACK ZETSU SO THAT'S WHY HE DID IT!"Lord Genome feels like this done right.
>>283245856Exactly, that's my biggest problem with him. I don't mind the dummy protag archetype. Goku is like that and he's amazing. But Goku is not a childish retard most of the time and certainly not when it's important not to be but Naruto seems that way all the time. It's like he regressed, even pre time skip Naruto seems more capable in the mental department and he was just a kid back then.
>>283245103>surrounded by rockok? whats the difference with the rest of the ground you carved through with earth style? this isnt pokemon where ground and rock are different things
>>283245892Feels like Kishi just made him so Sasuke isn't 100% correct in wanting to destroy Konoha>whoopsie turns out this ONE GUY is responsible for everything bad and everyone else was trying to stop him this entire time! even the spoiled milk giver hokage was powerless next to him!
>>283246024I feel like the reason Goku works is because Vegeta is there. They're both relatively childish characters, but Goku is the honest and lighthearted type of childish while Vegeta gets shackled with all the babyrage.Meanwhile, Naruto pretty much has no one to bounce off of. Sasuke could've been that, but after Itachi appeared, the two pretty much stopped interacting in any way that didn't involve tons of friction.
>>283245973Very exciting. Can't wait for next week
>>283246183He didn't even need to do that. Sasuke wanting to destroy Konoha is already wrong by itself because he'd be slaughtering innocents that weren't even aware of all the behind the scenes drama. There was no reason to introduce le true mastermind for something that was already bad on its own terms.
Is this the worst arc of Naruto so far? TRA was pretty fucking middling with the constant flashbacks, the fights being really bad, and an entire chapters of very little happening at all, but there's just fucking nothing for Tenchi Bridge to talk positively about.
>>283245069Kabuto you can't just imply that your new team mate is a gay serial rapist like that!
>>283246223Yeah Goku and Vegeta work really well together for that but even better Vegeta showed up, Goku was still a great character. He was the honest, kind and light-hearted protag who would also be clueless and dumb at times but even then, he was growing as he aged and his dumber side didn't get in the way of his more serious side. Naruto is not like that. He's very often just a total idiot, he's so naive at times it fucking hearts your brain seeing it and he's such a drama queen who can't keep his emotions in check at even the slightest provocation. It's not like he needed to be some super smart, cool guy but compared to Sasuke, fuck, compared to Sakura even, he's like a child in a bigger body. The other two, for all their faults, have matured as they aged but Naruto got even worse of a childish dumbass.
>>283245460>Danzo plotting to destroy Konoha is the cliffhanger, I guess.It's that Kabuto, who forgot the Bingo list in the room, is on his way to fetch it, which would alert everyone.
>>283246380I can't remember if it is this arc, but the bit where Sai calls Sasuke out on being a retarded edgelord is pretty funny.
>>283245282>>283245633>>283245661Arigatou, OUR LEADER!
>>283245171The bingo wasn't a throwaway line...? wtf
>>283245460A guy within the government plotting the destruction of the village by corroborating with Orochimaru is a big deal. Also another part of the cliffhanger is Kabuto entering the room where Naruto, Sakura, and Yamato snuck into. This isn’t a bad end page.
>can restrain and control the 9 tails within Naruto>can make sentient clones>can make beans as transponders>can sneak underground with his wood style>can open keyholesYamato is a good ninja.
>>283245661Thanks
>>283246234>>283245850We've had like 5 chapters with bad cliffhangers in a row and you pick the ONLY one that actually has a pretty strong one???
>>283245171>aww shucks, forgot the pages for my bingo book. >chapter before that yearns for another young corpse for his collectionKabuto is such a perplexing person.
>>283246906This is part of what the anon mentioned a few chapters ago. People come here to whine about nothing and nitpick aimlessly. There’s certainly not much to rave about this arc, but others are going above and beyond to make this much worse that it actually is
>>283245728>A monthWhat the fuck did he do???
>>283245976War arc Naruto is generally reasonable and decently smart. Sage Mode Naruto is legitimately 500 IQ (his final plan against Pain was that good)>>283246223I wouldn't call Goku (manga Goku) childish, or even stupid. He's a naive kid in the first part of the story, and once he grew up he's a simple guy with simple life goals but by no means stupid or naive at that point. He's been badly flanderized in collective consciousness by Toei's anime and fillers.
>>283246984You might be onto something. Don't get me wrong, the previous criticisms had some truth (and a few nitpicks too) but for once we had a pretty solid chapter in this otherwise boring arc and people just want to find something to criticize.
>>283245326I suppose we'll just continue to discuss Samui's tits, Mabui's legs and Hyuga's faces...
>>283245725I bet that's on Kabuto.
>>283245031Just how long is the ban?
>>283245725>>283247172One of Orochimaru's many jutsus has to be one that spawns endless wax
>>283245827He's Black Ops for a reason.
>>283245859He was a huge retard who thought his faggot backstage scheming was serious bussiness when it accomplished absolutely nothing. He was butthurt that Hiruzen was better suited to be Hokage than him.
I feel like part of this arc is Kishi just making fun of the concept of glowies
Yamato is looking pretty good so far. I’m going to maintain that this wasn’t a bad team comp for the mission. 4 Tails Naruto was giving snek the work, he was getting gassed and tired. Kabuto would have to fight Sakura and Yamato and Sai if the clusterfuckery of glownigger alpha didn’t turn traitor mix with other happenstances. This was actually a cakewalk had the intel been accurate and the secret spy wasn’t compromisedAlmoat everything is Danzo’s fault.
My HEROESSSSSSS
>>283247026More so in the heads of alleged fans than in reality though.
Kino incominghttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CrNCaBiyE7g
>>283247560she desperately wishes she wasn't there
>>283247381That's retarded childish writinh
>>283247435That's assuming Naruto burns his fucking flesh by turning into an active walking nuke, doesn't kill his friends, doesn't die from his injuries...The plan was to have regular shitty Naruto, they're not getting past Oro
>>283246380This is pretty much the lowest point. Theres just a lot of shit that goes nowhere going on. Right after this we get>Tsunade Ordering Asuma to ACTUALLY train Naruto>Hidan and Kakuza>The Adventures of Sasuke and Team Hawk>Jiraiya infiltrating Rain>Pain arc>Sasuke vs Itachi>The Coolest Guy>5 Kage >Naruto vs Sasuke Then start the War Arc.
they will save us soon, alhamdulillah
>>283247641But that’s what Yamato is there for. Sakura is the healer, and Naruto’s natural healing factor comes into play (before Sasuke mogs him).
>>283247771Jiraiya told Naruto to not use that. They weren't counting on a 4 tails rampage. In the next few chapters we'll have Naruto and Sai meet Oro and get spared for no reason. They're 100% saved by Oro being a chill guy now
>>283247721My favorite pair, the only pair that acts as a team. Mainly because Hidan can’t be killed by his grouchy partner. Zombros are going to up Narutocoin
>>283245031finally some good chapter covers
>>283247787Isn’t Orochimaru tired from the previous battle? Also the guy is on death’s door, he should be trying to get inside Sasuke some time soon. He just wants his Sharingan at this point after his attempted 2 year grooming
>>283247848He can still kill the entire squad minus Yamato MAYBE
>>283247790I think the idea with Akatsuki was largely that the strongest ninjas are all weird, and so they don't really work well as teams.But Hidan and Kakuzu work because despite being weird, neither can kill the other, so they can be a bit more rough about it.
>>283247975They’re all prettier distinctive. The most normals one are the shark and the cripple possessing his best friend’s dead corpse, and said dead corpse’s origami gf. Kishi hit a grand slam making this villain group. Akatsuki and their design, along with the red cloud are pretty iconic.
you know it's kind of funny that akatsuki is literally just dawn in japanese
Did Danzo order Sai to show his midriff all the time?Did he think that'd make him more attractive to Orochimaru and such increase the chances of securing an alliance?
>>283247787https://youtu.be/g5qWgvSmFlc?si=Vy4HmEK4cdTv7Mh8Because Orochimaru had to dip into his Game 7 bag just to run a fade with a half powered Black Airforce Naruto on demon time. He knows he's gonna get put on a shirt and if he fucks around again then he's gonna find out.
>>283248184i hate niggertube
>>283247613That's Danzo.
>>283248184Holy based>>283248198Our boy got a big glow up from the time skip and was locked in to save his fellow ninja Sauce who is wearing mad drip. A lil sus, but bro pulled out the dub for his hood in the leaf, deadass. On god Oro couldn’t prevent the runback. That’s Big Altima Energy running from our G Kurama. Absolutely sending me that you stans deny my GOAT NaruGOAT and Kishimoto their roses
>>283246428>Kabuto you can't just imply that your new team mate is a gay serial rapist like that!It's a Konoha tradition. Even super straight Konoha ninja like Jiraiya are still pederasts.
>>283245827>Yamato keeps carrying the entire squadMokuton is super useful even without the bijuu control, chakra draining, and having more chakra than God that Hashirama got.
>>283246482>It's that Kabuto, who forgot the Bingo list in the room, is on his way to fetch it, which would alert everyone.Oh no, not Kabuto. It's not like he could personally threaten the entire world or something.
>>283247590>Hinata isn't fat!
>>283248141>Danzo cultivated the best Sasuke lookalike because he knew what Orochimaru was into
>>283246380>Is this the worst arc of Naruto so far? TRA was pretty fucking middling with the constant flashbacks, the fights being really bad, and an entire chapters of very little happening at all, but there's just fucking nothing for Tenchi Bridge to talk positively about.We called this the Penis Arc back in the day, because that's what it sucks.
>>283249011no, no she is not
>>283248879>post timeskip Naruto has mentally regressed and keeps throwing temper tantrums because he spent the past 2 years being molestedAt last I truly see
>make loli Orochimaru in AI >she's dangerous for my dick>also AI wants to make Orochimaru a goth loliHuh... okay... well enough blogging have a Female Itachi wife. I can save her...
>>283250206kill yourself
>>283250226No... I have to save Female Itachi from Danzo! Just like my fantasy romcom!
>>283245069Do locks even do shit in this universe with magic jutsus?
>>283250373>alohomora no jutsu
>>283246720>Also another part of the cliffhanger is Kabuto entering the room where Naruto, Sakura, and Yamato snuck into. This isn’t a bad end page. You can barely tell that, lmao.
>>283245856It was a lot more tolerable and understandable when he was acting like a autistic spaz as a 12 year old, but now it's just kind of pathetic and annoying, especially when you consider that his peers like Sakura and Sai act far more competent than he does. It's almost like he regressed with age.
>>283245725It'd probably be a lot more convenient to just carry a torch around the halls.
>>283246380>Is this the worst arc of Naruto so far?It's probably the worst one in the whole manga. God, it's so shit.
>>283246482>>283246906This isn't a good cliffhanger no matter what you say.>>283246720>A guy within the government plotting the destruction of the village by corroborating with Orochimaru is a big deal.They were already suspicious of that. Sai ""confirming"" it isn't a good cliffhanger.
>>2832452162 years of training under the legendary Sannin, btw.
>>283246759>Yamato is a good ninja.No, it's just that Hashirama cells are stupid and broken.
>>283246984>>283247054It's just not a good ending page. You can't even tell where Kabuto currently is. If Kishi wanted to end the chapter on a more suspenseful note he should've shown him right in front of the door or something.Stop shilling so hard for this money-printing franchise you pathetic retards.
>>283250786True. It makes Naruto into a psychotic retard you could argue stress of saving Gara in the previous arc made him emotional.Any development or usefulness Sakura showed was immediately squandered. I remember this arc worrying the Sakurafags back in the day and they were proven right.Most of the shit goes nowhere like the Manga pretends this never happened for the most part.Yamato and Sai are interesting but then get relegated to the background pretty quick. Yamato becomes useless after the Pain Arc.Sai's diary goes nowhere and is forgotten about.Kabuto's questionable loyalty goes nowhere he just becomes "lulz Iz plotting guyz."Orochimaru's plots go plans go nowhere.Danzo's schemes make no sense and he becomes Dumbzo.Sasuke just Aura farms and we need an entire arc of him with Team Hawk to show he is still little good guy Sasuke.This arc which coincidentally was going on around the beginning of /a/ was the epitome of everything wrong with Naruto.
>>283250888>go into Naruto thread>see people talking about Naruto and not being a complete pessimist >noooo stop shillingI already said this arc wasn’t much to rave about, aspie. Me saying this chapter isn’t complete shit isn’t shilling. Also, don’t use a word you don’t know the meaning of.
>>283250853Hashirama cells are such a dogshit plot device.
>>283251225>Hashirama Cells>Everything the Sharingan can do after Mangekyo
>>283251225I'd say genetic engineering on the whole in Naruto is that.
>>283251237Sharingan too. It was a pretty cool ability when it could copy moves and focus better in fights. Even Mangekyo is alright, giving you an extra ability and all. But then Kishi had to make it into this godly eye that can summon giants and do all sorts of magical shit. Even worse cause it makes Byakugan look fucking lame in comparison. >>283251246True. The cells just stand out cause they got so overused.
>>283251309the byakugan is still betteryou just never see it do anything
>>283251309The Byakugan really got screwed over, remember that the strongest Byakugan user isn’t even a Hyuuga
>>283248184i hate that guy, black weebs are pretty much the reason why I cant watch JJK videos without retards abusing the "Aura" and "Aura farming" words. Also I don't watch basketball so i don't get 90% of references
>>283251339Yeah, the base abilities of the Byakugan and the accompanying Gentle Fist are theoretically superior even to the upgraded Sharingan and all its abilities, but I suppose that's why it was completely ignored because it's fucking busted.
>>283251376JJK is trash, so it's no wonder the retarded subhumans flock to it
>>283251225It's also really retarded because Hashirama is supposed to be the reincarnation of Hagoromo's talentless hard working son, and yet his dna are constantly treated as a godly essence that can solve literally anything.
>>283251420just write off everything in the war arckishi was so painfully done by that point
>>283251225Also was it ever explained in some throwaway panel why wood release died with Hashirama and was never passed down to any of his kids? Tsunade would have been busted with it
>>283251390I thought it was pretty good, I honestly dont get the hate. Is because it's popular? Most of the criticism I've read are not enough to call it straight trash.
>>283250832>What was the cliffhanger>Answer is given>Well but it's not a GOOD cliffhanger
>>283251007>Yamato and Sai are interestingThey're both really shitty characters, Yamato especially.
>>283251582
>>283246984Nah, I agree with the other anons. Sai's final statement is pretty vague, and we already knew Kabuto was heading back to Sai's room, so the last 2 panels of his head and foot are pretty worthless.
>>283246030anon there is definitely a difference between regolith and bedrock
>>283245171silly Kabuto
>>283245216Naruto is the worst spy ever
>>283245274Take it easy Naruto
Come to think of it, did Danzo really have to put Sai in Naruto's team? Couldn't he have just ordered Sai to track his team from a distance during this mission, and then go talk with Orochimaru when they're both alone? Having him join up with Naruto and the others doesn't seem to have helped with anything other than making his teammates suspicious after they separated.
>>283251980Yamato's wood clones can relay information back instantly like paths of Pain, merge with the environment, there's no sneaking around that.
>>283251007>>283251679you now remember Kabuto yoinked Yamato in the war set-up chapters and he has no thoughts, lines or actions after chapter 514 (looked it up) of a 700 chapter series. No arc, no connection to any other characters, he's a battery for Zetsu and gets a silent panel or two in what I think was 699.
>>283245282Another kind of dull 'pter but at least we see Sakura's girlytoes a few times
>>283251980I'd imagine it's difficult, even for an established Root shinobi, to do a solo tracking mission, especially when the targets being tracked is led by someone who's regularly engaged in black ops. There'd be a huge mess if Sai was discovered, and questions would arise on why Konoha was spying on its own shinobi, which would destroy Danzo's credibility.
>>283252274I honestly don't remember a single moment of him after this current arc
>>283252364he was a pretty big part of Naruto learning Wind style but that's about it. He's an NPC for most of his screentime. He even talks like one, at least in the translation we've been reading, but that's also just Kishi dialogue.
Why didn't Yamato gain the regen hax of Hashirama anyway?
>>283247438Sakura is the strongest person there
>>283251906>Naruto is the worst spy ever>Spent two years training under a legendary spy
>>283252407he's a lab experiment. the fact he got the kekkei genkai implanted (lol) is impressive enough, the rest died. Funny that you can switch Sharingan eyeballs in and out like lightbulbs but the KG that are elemental are you have it or you don't
>>283245282>Anbu blackop>Trained to handle blacklisted missions>Oh well, you confronted me. Here's the truthIs lying not a part of their skill set?
>>283245031looks like 2 tails
>>283252407he has it, in fact it looks like his body works just like gaara/suigetsu, we just never really get to see him getting hurthe has enough hashirama cells to turn the 100k zetsu army into something that's capable of killing 40k chunin+ shinobi in one day
>>283252784'kura butt
>>283252389He was also present when Naruto was training with Bee, but I honestly hate that. It's just annoying that he sticks around for so long when he's such a nothing character and doesn't contribute to the action at all. Literally just a great value Kakashi.
>>283252481He was supposedly teaching him about chakra and jutsu.
>>283251679Why Yamato? Personally I think he was underutilized.
>>283252917For the same reasons >>283252843 stated. Also it's just annoying how Kishi bloated the cast with bootleg Sasuke and Kakashi when there are already so many underutilized characters (and these 2 will also be quickly forgotten by the plot).
>>283252899Jiraiya's the only who knew how to loosen the seal though, without him doing that Naruto is cooked, he could never be powerful enough to learn rasenshuriken / sage mode
>>283253078>I'm weakening your seal so you can get stronger without training LMAO>also your seal is weakening on its own so you won't need to train in the future either LMAO
Unless I'm mistaken, so far Kimimaro and Hashirama are the only people thus far whose kekkei genkai is really individualized, where nobody related to them seems to have also had it
>>283253224They knew it was in the Kaguya, but it was exceedingly rare.Hashirama was just a genetic freak.
>>283253224You're forgetting the jobbingCHADS.
Yamato is underrated and exceedingly based.
>>283253257>filenameEven without the bodyjacking shit, doubling your DPS with someone just as strong as you is broken on anyone with even remotely decent taijutsu.
>>283252843Based take
>>283253250Does Gaara's sand jutsu count as a kekkei genkai?
>>283245092Why did Kishi give him a camel toe in that panel
>>283253682Yes. His Dad also had sand powers the Shukaka just buffed plus his Mom gave him some love buff because it turns out she actually loved Gaara.
>>283245248>take twoHE'S DONE THIS BEFORE? AND YOU LET HIM LIVE?
>>283253682Nope. It's a Shukaku thing>>283253889His Magnet Release was a kekkei genkai. But Gaara's sand is a Shukaku thing
>>283253643I want to tickle the back of her neck as the curse mark spreads.
>>283253942I think he was referring to Oro's first attempt.
>>283245859Wasn't the twist at the end that Danzo just wanted to kill Sasuke before Orochimaru could get his body and eyes? Or am I misremembering and giving this arc too much credit?
>>283253224It's interesting where their OP powers stem from specifically.Kimimaro: A variant of Kaguya's All-Killing Ash Bone.Hashirama: Rooted from the Juubi's Wood style.Otsutsuki and Juubi.
>>283254419Kimimaro even has the same hair color.
>>283254048
>If I can't be Hokage, no one canpetty mf
>>283245216>>283245267Naruto is legitimately the worst character of the series right now, idk why people memory hole this behavior afterwards because he got stronger or something He is so fucking annoying, like shut the fuck up
>>283245216This is the spitting image of the monkey and the leopard.
>>283245031Thanks OP
>>283254527>if Hiruzen has one terrorist organization, I will have two ahh blud
>>283254711The truth is, Naruto is even more braindead and annoying than Sakura or Sasuke, but the fanbase always lets him get away with bad behavior and sees the other two as dragging him down or bad.Reminder that "kid Sasuke was an asshole that bullied poor sunshine Naruto, and for no reason too" is somehow a consensus across normalfags, despite it being the opposite. All the seething at Sakura for not getting with him despite his crush being just as shallow and bad as her own is like that too.
>>283245231I like how in these chapters Sakura tends to act more diplomatically and understanding, despite her own obsession for Sasuke.
>>283245282Thank you OP.It's still baffling that Kishimoto wanted to portray Naruto as someone likeable here, and he never has to confront himself with his lack of empathy for people until it's spelled out to him why he should empathize with them.
>>283245725It's Kabuto, his autism requires him to have all candles at the exact same length at any moment.
>>283254419Kaguya was the Juubi so humans have kekkei genkai from both.
>>283247435>>283247641Anons, they weren't planning to meet Oro.
>>283251582I like it too, don't worry anon.
>>283254848Are you talking about Naruto's overall character in this arc, or just in this chapter? Because him lashing out at Sai for abandoning the team and joining up with Orochimaru after all his two faced attitude is somewhat justified. (only his crush Saucegay is allowed to do that and be forgiven)
>>283255018Kaguya only fused with her Juubi.
>>283254711I also hated how much he over-reacted with Gaara in the previous arc and how he triggered the ninetails transformation just from wanting to save him. It felt so forced and retarded.
>>283255403>him lashing out at Sai for abandoning the team and joining up with OrochimaruImagine if Yamato said>Sai, what you've done is unforgivable! You're just as bad as Sasuke!Naruto would implode
Why doesn't Tsunade just fucking kill Danzo
>>283255538something something Will of Fire something something
>>283254821>Reminder that "kid Sasuke was an asshole that bullied poor sunshine Naruto, and for no reason too" is somehow a consensus across normalfagsWhat's funny to me is that this isn't coming just from people that forgot, I see this take from people watching the series at the momentLike they watch Naruto say that his dead family wasn't shit or start bothering Sasuke who just sits there alone and go "yes Naruto, show that motherfucker who is the boss!". The moment Sasuke retaliates, he is deemed an asshole baddie. And in this very arc, I saw many people applauding Naruto for how he treated Sai too, and dragging Sai for literally nothing but truth + some mean words about his dick I guess.It's just the protagonist bias, really. Kishimoto has it too. Naruto can do no wrong and you should always be on his side, no matter what, and the mouthbreathers buy that.
>>283255813>>283254821If Sauce or Sakura, even as kids, did something like Naruto attacking Sauce, turning into him and trying to kiss someone like that, they would be forever dragged down as potential rapists, bullies, psychos, irredeemably bad characters and etc.This would live in haters' minds just as rent free as that comment about orphans from Sakura. Fortunately, Naruto did that, so that's okay
>>283254821>despite his crush being just as shallow and bad as her ownum actually Naruto's crush on Sasuke is very deep
>>283254821>All the seething at Sakura for not getting with himNaruto choosing best girl over this insufferable cunt is one of the few good things he did in this series, though. I'm glad he didn't end up with pink.
>>283255420Don't forget how in the end all of Gaara's (and Chiyo's, really) gratitude was given to Naruto despite him giving more problems than help, while Sakura went pretty much unmentioned
>>283255863>choosingThere wasn't much choice there
>>283255538I'm sure it would look good on her resume to have killed an opposing political party
>>283252302anon, that is kabuto
>>283255897Hiruzen did it and no one complained (except Sasuke, only after his death)
>>283255813Truth of the matter is, normalfaggots have no empathy, they literally cannot see the world beyond themselves, and they are always the victim in their worldview.Naruto is the protagonist, and every normafaggot sees the protagonist as an extension of themselves.If they do something "bad", they are always justified, if something bad is done to them, they're always unjustly mistreated.
>>283255864>Gaara wakes up from being dead>nobody tells the fucking Kazekage what happened after his kidnapping>Chiyo is dead>Immediately thanks Naruto>Nobody, NOT EVEN SAKURA, corrects him by explaining that Sakura, Chiyo and Kakashi saved him, Naruto was just there
>>283251339>>283251363I'd say they were fairly evenly matched before all the bullshit started getting added to Sharingan. 360 view vs copying techniques, chakra points attacks vs eye focus for dodging. They were pretty well balanced I'd say between each other I'd say. >>283251420Kishi started using the cells for anything he was too lazy to work out properly. >>283251521I don't think it was but the fact that it didn't is really stupid. There is no reason why it shouldn't have been passed down. Yamato could have been a great option for that actually, some Hashirama's bastard or something who inherited it would sound far more interesting than muh Hashirama cells.
>>283255403I say in this arc, and while him lashing out at Sai is correct (and Sakura being so calm is really noticeable) the way he does that is still really meanspirited, and most of all doesn't give the impression it comes from his betrayal, but from a deeper disliking of him.
>>283255864same for this arc, Sakura is the one who actually talk to Sai and try to make him understand Sasuke's importance to Naruto, but Naruto himself is credited as the one who changed Sai
>>283255403>>283256141On top of that, this retard is screaming on a infiltration mission, a quiet hideout. If I were Yamato, I would honestly petition for sending him back to the academy.I do like Sakura's handling of it though, she's mature and that makes her relationship with Sai interesting.She really is fine when Saucegay and Narutard aren't around.
>>283256281All of Team 7 are better on their own than with the other two.Naruto is only getting respectable in Pain arc where he doesn't think of them, Sakura is cool with other people and with Chiyo in her own fight, Sasuke is alright with his Hebi guys, just calm and determined.Idk how, but whoever decided to craft teams was probably making a social experiment for how long can the worst fucking synergy known to mankind work until someone runs away or kills themselves
>>283256180She doesn't have much to begin with, but what she gains is taken away from her, kinda sad
>>283256281>I do like Sakura's handling of it though, she's mature and that makes her relationship with Sai interesting.Too bad this moment doesn't mean much since she assaulted him a few chapters ago just for speaking the truth about Sauce.
>>283256180>Power carried by Kurama>Social life carried by SakuraThis seriously can't be my hero, right?
>>283256392Meh, that was bad, but I can still give her props for sleeping on it and being nice to him starting from the next morning
Yamato is the only good thing in this arc
>>283252945Yamato is the only reason Konoha's higher jonins feel a bit less pathetic than just the duo of Kakashi and Guy
>>283256587>shittier Kakashi is the best thing about this arcNot a good thing.
>>283256804Asuma?
>>283255538Danzo would unironically win
>>283247407Anon thinks Kishi's making a statement? He's just making another set of retards for Naruto to beat. Kinda like real glowies, ironically.
>>283256814The nepobaby? What about him?
This arc is worse than the final one
>>283256806He's not Kakashi and doesn't have to be. He's just a no nonsense guy with nice powers and acts competent carrying a squad of retards. It's enjoyable.
>>283256849The war arc is legitimately good. Arguably in the upper half of the series.
>>283256804Jiraiya is technically a jonin too.
>>283256858You could literally replace Yamato with Kakashi and other than the wood powers nothing about this arc would change lmao. He's a nothing character with nothing interesting that no one cares about. You're the samefag that's constantly trying to force that he's a good character when he clearly isn't.
>>283256873>The war arc is legitimately goodWar arc is 185 chapters, over 25% of the total manga is one arc, and it covers two days of narrative.A lot of those 185 are full of shit.If anyone here thinks these last two arcs have pacing issues War Arc will be cock&ball torture
>>283256873It is pretty terrible, especially the early parts which drag on and feature too many characters that no one gives a shit about. If it's in the upper class, then that's only because this series is shit.
>>283256849Agree to disagree.
Apologize to the Tsunade Search arc. NOW.
>>283256966I think TRA was the last time I enjoyed Naruto.
>>283257014SRA was pretty good. It was the last time the side characters actually felt important.
I genuinely like how often Sasuke changes his outfit throughout the series. It represents his character, how he's unstable and constantly changes his goals, affiliations and motivations. It also contrasts with Naruto's static design.It's come to a point that I've mentally divided the story into parts depending on what Sasuke's current design is and it mostly works.
>>283257092Sasuke looks way better without bangs, should have kept his haircut
>>283252389Anon's right, Kishi wrote NPCs like they were running on minimum viable product. Half the cast felt like they were just there to give Naruto a power-up or a new goalpost.
>>283257092I think that represents him bothering to wash his clothes, unlike some others
>>283257079>SRA was pretty goodI didn't like it, it's good in comparison with everything that came after, I'll give you that.
>>283257092None of his outfits say anything about his character, goals etc. He only changed his clothes from Hebi to Taka because he no longer had the curse mark and didn't need a shirt that he could quickly take off anymore.>>283257146But all of his designs have bangs.
>>283257146>magically grows bangs right after hearing the truth They didn't even have time to grow, they just appeared after the talk with Obito. It's supposed to represent he doesn't take care of himself as much anymore and gives him a more stray look? Bangs = you are unhinged, Kishi said so
>>283257092>It represents his character, how he's unstable and constantly changes his goals, affiliations and motivationsIn my friend's group he's called "Sakuke, Coherent Ninja of the Leaf" because he's almost schizo in his constant 180° in everything he believes in
>>283257189Well duh, bangs used to be short and parted, look at the mess on the right
>>283257196I don't think Sauce was ever the type to give a shit about how he looks anyway.
>>283257226He is from a strict "high class" family, so he still probably cared about looking tidy, clean and well kept
>>283257189>But all of his designs have bangs.You know what I mean, having his forehead show instead a rat nest on his head
>>283249018>knew what Orochimaru was intoH-how and why?
>>283256904He's good, you're just butthurt. Kakashi wouldn't really work the same.
>>283256939War arc actually has things going on even if it's a reaaaaally long final fight that lasts over 100 chapters (counting only the Obito-Madara shit)>>283256954The small fights are fine and short. The pacing will be hard but it is better than a lot of other arcs in this series
>>283257415No, it isn't.
>>283257415I didn't say it has nothing going on.I said it has horrendous pacing issues and a lot of shit between the good moments.
How would you guys feel if instead of the War Arc being all 5 nations fighting together, the Stone and Cloud formed an alliance to attack the Leaf, since Naruto was the last tailed beast left and they were all worried about the Leaf having the last nuke, rather than the threat of the Akatsuki?>Since the Kage were all basically ignoring the Akatsuki the whole time anywayalso>the leaf was recently destroyed by Pain so they were incredibly weakseems based on the aggression by the Stone in the past as well as the child snatching Cloud, it seems like it could be likely
>>283257390Kek, you have massive shit taste.
>>283257479It doesn't really have worse shit than we've seen in this arc, Kakuzu arc, or SRA.
>>283245038ahahaha here he is, the narutard bruh!! lol It's been years since I saw you anon, how have you been?
>>283257535You have a child's brain. That's just how you hyperfixate on only the most noticeable parts and are completely unable to appreciate the more subtle ones. I wont elaborate further, Yamato is doing his best to salvage this dogshit arc.
Yamato/Sai were great. Rasenshuriken training arc is the comfiest training arc of all time.
>>283257553>>283257603>retard starts samefagging
>>283257541At least I somewhat cared for what is happening in this arcNow the absolute masterpiece of Mifune vs Hanzo...?
I wish CC2 would make a Naruto version of DBZ Kakarot, just going through the story with their usual flair without having to worry about multiplayer. I like the Storm series, but Connections was straight ass and I think it's fine if they just stop making them.
>>283245031If only kishimoto knew how to write such is explained otherwise desu.
>>283257541Nothing in the SRA is as bad as the worst from the war arc, and it definitely doesn't have the same pacing issues.
>>283257524Much, much better.The war being vs Zetsu was pathetic
>>283253257I don't think their kekkei genkai was recessive though.
>>283257703Sakura didn't even confess her loved to natuto why ru making forcing a relation
If Sakura kept her inner Sakura, would she be more liked?
>>283257719I have to admit this is the ending I wanted. I wanted to be honest hinata to be a semi antagonist by the end getting jealous and mad that she wasn't the one who took narutos heart that she wasn't the one who got his attention. I love how they made sakura and narutos relationships feel more developed then the half assed thing they made with hinata
>>283257635It lasts one chapter. Mifune vs Hanzo has more literary merits than what we're seeing here.
>>283257705The average part of the SRA is worse than the average part of the war arc.I can say the war arc had good fights. I can't say the same for SRA.
>>283257703 naruto was more truly happy than when he was with hinata hence perfect ending.
>>283257648imagine an open world Konoha game where you play as 5 yo narutoa chaotic little menace sprinting through the streets, jumping rooftops across konoha's landscape, swiping dango from food stalls, vandalizing mount rushmore with penis graffiti leaving a trail of laughter and outrage wherever he goes. basically bully (ps2).
>>283257703 If Sakura was written like a normal human being and had character development, funny kishi wrote more chemistry between naruto and sakura by accident.
>>283257761>Neji vs Kidomaru>Gaara vs Kimimaro>Naruto vs Sasuke>Shikamaru vs TayuyaShit take.
>>283257729Nah, I don't think so>>283257738Just watch shoujo>>283257761Bait
>>283257703>If only kishimoto knew how to write.If kishi knew how to write he wouldve made sauske in to a female character.
There is no chemistry between Naruto and Sakura, you all are just seething over your ship.Sakura absolutely should have had development and moved on, but ending up with Naruto would be bad too. She never, never liked him. I just be like that sometimes.
>>283257827It just*
>>283257827Also Sakura:>beats him up for no reason>constantly insults him>tried manipulating him with that fake confession>made fun of him for being an orphan
>>283257787Have you read SRA?Neji's fight was the only one that got some kind of praise and even then it was retarded from start to end with Neji standing around doing nothing. It ended on a wet fart with Neji just oneshotting Kido by holding his string once. All the praise it gets is because Kishimoto accidentally wrote Kidomaru as one of his smartest characters.Naruto vs Sasuke was legitimately shit. It had one good moment.
>>283257827She loves naruto platonatically and believed him he could bring sasuke back after 5 kage submit. Ppl says why she didn't give up liking sasuke but how can she when naruto himself gave her hope?
>>283257812sasuke only showed any form of affection to naruto Imao
>>283257703Sakuras confession and apologizing to naruto is all I needed, it would develop the character and resolve the prior events and connection she had with naruto, unlike what happened in the Canon where narutos feelings was thrown out suddenly.
>>283257849>made fun of him for being an orphanNot what happened. She just said that no wonder his behavior is so bad since he has no parents. Which is true, but insensitive and mean. But she was just 12 and barely knew him.>beats him up for no reason>constantly insults himSometimes it's comedy, sometimes it's deserved. Reading this chapter I was thinking about how much Naruto needs to get smacked in the face couple of times.>tried manipulating him with that fake confessionThat was bad, but ultimately because she cared about him and wanted him to stop hurting himself. It shows utter misunderstanding of him as a person, but it's not done out of mean spirit
>>283257827>>283257849Yeah pretty much. She just constantly treats him like shit even though Naruto is trying his best to be nice to her. She deserved to get with a deadbeat absent dad like Sauce.
>>283257827don't know if you read the manga hinata barely exists there Naruto never acknowledged her at all he focus on sakura all time
>>283257965She doesn't "constantly treat him like shit". This very arc is literally entirely her caring for Naruto's retarded raging ass. This and last arc she was literally crying over how bad Naruto has it and how she never noticed
>>283257993Idk why are you writing me that, I consider Naruhina an underdeveloped trash too
>>283258000She even asks Yamato to teach her to be able to help Naruto. People just refuse to give up on their bias
Do you think Golden Age Guts and Griffith had a better friendship than Naruto and Sasuke?
>>283257950>Not what happened. She just said that no wonder his behavior is so bad since he has no parents. Which is true, but insensitive and mean. But she was just 12 and barely knew him.It's funny how much the anime amped up that scene. She genuinely despises him for being an orphan there. She's still a shit character regardless though. >Sometimes it's comedy, sometimes it's deserved.I don't get why people keep using the "comedy" thing as an excuse. It still makes her out to be a bitch. Naruto mostly acts stupid for comedic purposes too, but that doesn't mean he isn't an idiot.Also, it's almost never deserved. That's bs.
>>283258000>>283258023And yet all her face-to-face interactions with him are almost always just her being a violent cunt.
>>283257703Yeah and their hair color is so aesthetic and their choice of color clothing
>>283258048Not at all, just comedic ones cause nips think this gag is le funny. Naruto and literally everyone else is okay with this. Hell, I think this fanbase is one of the very few places where people somehow take this shit seriously. Even the last 1 on 1 scene of them I remember was a scene of them both fanboying over Sauce and it was kind of sweet
>>283257703They would have been a hood couple with flaws .... y'know they might fight and do funny stuffs..>would be nice to see naruto get a frying pan to the face.
>>283257703No one can refute this.
>>283258035>excuseYou guys are such snowflakes Jesus christ. This is classic 90s and 00s Japanese cartoon good girl gag behavior. It's not meant to be taken seriously as some sort of horrible abuse. Nami did that, Rukia did that. She is just meant to be seen as a bit hot headed at best, but still have a heart of gold. Same with Naruto and his retardation. Such a weird hill to die on, at this point might as well drop every manga where the pervert character doesn't end up in jail
>>283258148Not to forget Bulma too
>>283257703>>283258097>No ass no tits bitchy wife with no gene haxs>Big titty soft gentle wife with gene haxsYeah, Naruto picked the right choice
>>283258093>"it's le comedic" cope againKek, you're a broken record. >>>283258035
>>283257738Absolutely low-quality shipper who rooted for character assassination.
>>283258148>This is classic 90s and 00s Japanese cartoon good girl gag behavior.And you're allowed to say that this behavior is a shit trope and that the characters who have it are annoying and poorly written. Also you're far more of a snowflake (and a retard) if you need to whiteknight for these sort of characters like this. >at this point might as well drop every manga where the pervert character doesn't end up in jailAt least those characters usually end up getting punished in some way (usually getting beat up by the girls) for being perverts. Tsunade beating up Jiraiya is more justifiable than Sakura beating Naruto for calling her hulkish.
>>283258187Because your reactions are genuinely retarded as you fail to understand the basic truth to a common trope that is accepted in every fanbase except somehow this one and base your hatred on such small common gags it sounds wild to anyone who is not influenced by years of bias
>>283257703>>283257782>>283257932>>283258097>>283258120>>283257738You've been at this shit for more than a decade, can you retards fuck off already.
>>283258257>that is accepted in every fanbaseThat's not even true, lmao. Other characters like Chi Chi are also hated for being violent and angry bitches. >you're not allowed to say that this trope and the characters that have it are shit because... because you just can't, ok?!?!?
>>283258120Checked and sneed it faggot
>>283258242>n-no u!SighRegardless if you think if the trope is shit or not, it is retarded to base your hatred just on that and consider the entire character poorly written. Sakura has some stuff to consider her that for anyway, choose better shit to criticize. Or give up reading anything written prior to 21st century because once you open classic books and see some old and offensive tropes you might as well close it
>>283255439Yeah, that should've happened.
>>283257874Sakura gave herself hope, she went to Tsunade because she wanted to train and not be left behind. She utilized the same principles Sasuke has inspired in her to get stronger. Sakura never depended on Naruto for anything.
>>283258270Have you seen HOAD? Of course they didn't let go of such trauma for 10+ years.There is only one thing more annoying and devastating than bitter self-gaslit fujos and that is bitter self-gaslit hetfags, because their confidence in probability of their ship it 10x times more and the fall is 10x times more damaging
>>283258120And it was so weird to even have Edo Minato think how much Sakura reminds him of Kushina and even ask Naruto if Sakura was his girlfriend
>>283256180Early part 2 Naruto is the worst character in the story, it's like if Shikamaru was dumb(er) and the main character with the story wanking him the same.
>>283258120>Naruto sees how similar his mother was to Sakura which turns him off her completelyWhat's there to refute?
>>283256814>GENINLEVELsuma
>>283258321Genuinely tf is that picture supposed to show? That they are both capable of the same facial expressions?Pretty sure I can find parallels between Minato and Shikamaru then and marry Naruto off to him
>>283258120>>283258321if im not mistaken kushina once said to naruto"find yourself a girl like me" or something
>>283258120hilarious because Kishi and the writers of Boruto are trying so hard to make Hinata be more like Sakura
>>283258433Minato was based enough that Kushina wouldn't hit him with a frying panNaruto does not have that luxury, Sakura would abuse him everyday
>>283258331>it is retarded to base your hatred just on that and consider the entire character poorly written.Not it isn't lmao, especially when the reason for having that trope is as poorly justified as it is with Sakura. You're so retarded.
Man what an age old debate thats still relevant sheesh.
>>283258030Yes, unironically.
>>283258480In what way?
>>283258549This is fucking retarded, everyone knows that the 50% chance of being Naruto's waifu without Sasuke AND the 75% of being his waifu with Sasuke accounted for equal to 125%, While Sakura only adds up to 75% total.This means that as Hinata is a whole 50% ahead, her actual chance is 125% multiplied by the extra chance, making it out to being 187.5%.Sakura never had a chance.
>>283258388I think it's weird that NSfags put that scene in a validation pedestal when Naruto would later tell Minato Sakura was in fact not his girlfriend.
>>283258321>>283258424
>>283258549>no link between Naruto and Sasuke showing the chances of him being Naruto's waifuRigged and wrong
>>283258480>Le angry woman/mother trope didn't exist before Kushina and Sakura.
>>283258610Also
>>283258598Their percentage go in regard to 100% Naruto gives them, not their own personal record
>>283258605Yeah, I never got why so many people took that scene seriously, especially when it ended with pink angrily hitting Naruto (again)
>>283258331>Y-YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO HATE THIS CHARACTER BECAUSE THEM BEING AWFUL IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY!!!Sakura genuinely has some of the most retarded fans out there. Also no one finds it funny how most of her interactions are just being aggressive to Naruto.
>>283258712Calm down, samefag
>>283245069>>283245052jesus the backgrounds in this manga are so bad
shippertrannies are mentally ill schizophrenics jumping at shadows
I genuinely believe the franchise is headed towards a reset or rewind after Boruto ends. That will hopefully open up the doors for a possibility of fixing the endgame and developing the relationships, . I'm hoping for an actual Naruto Part 3 and/or reboot(not remake) after Boruto ends. Though, I think a remake (not reboot) anime of OG Naruto is all but guaranteed considering the response to the 9-minute anniversary promo from 2022. I expect that to come first before anything else from the Naruto franchise after Boruto.
>>283258803A Part 3 should've already happened by inserting a timeskip between the Kage Summit and Jinchuriki Training arcs, with the characters using their designs from The Last for the series' endgame.
>>283258803Naruto should have spent way more time exploring the world with team 7 and building his friendship with Sasuke rather than rushing to Sasuke leaving so fastIn part 1 they feel more like co workers than actual friends
>>283258869>a timeskip between the Kage Summit and Jinchuriki Training arcs, with the characters using their designs from The Last for the series' endgame.Sasuke acting like a edgelord only works when he's a teenagerSasuke in his 20's acting like a emo kid wouldn't work
>>283258803This is why i despised the ending of shippuden it should have never ended , they could’ve kept going with it.
>>283258803>Muh remake>in the current art-stylePlease no
>>283258923To be fair, Sasuke only really acts like an emo kid past Kage Summit when his brother is involved. You can really see that when he's fighting Sage Mode Kabuto with zombie Itachi, it's like he regresses mentally.As for his behavior in the war, all that's really needed would be to change his overall demeanor, keeping his dialogue roughly the same but making him talk and act a bit more detached, as if he's dissociating while trying to process the whole truth about his clan's history.Perhaps that would change the dynamic of the final Naruto vs Sasuke fight as well, making it feel more like Sasuke actually wants Naruto to defeat him and end his cursed clan completely, like a suicide by cop scenario.
>>283258410Not valid>>283258321>>283258610>>283258641Still cant
>>283259067NGL that's a lot of bullshit to deal with for a guy you knew for a few months when you were 12I think Sasuke just should have been a girl, at least I would understand Naruto chasing after her
>>283258778Not really. You're judging color pages anyway which don't really reflect the usual quality. I'm not a huge fan of Kishimoto's backgrounds but this is meant to be a weird lair, not... a forest or something. Of course it's going to look a bit samey.
>>283259080>All filler
>>283259067>>283258923How edgy did Sasuke REALLY act? Honestly a lot of it is way oversold by "MUH DARKNESS" narratives, all things considered his edginess peaked at VotE 1
>>283259179>his edginess peaked at VotE 1Nah I think when they reunite in Shippuden and the first thing he does is try to kill Naruto, considering he has a no kill rule until after Itachi dies, it makes no sense
>>283259237Yeah I forgot about that, but that's really the peak. After that he's just a chill dude
>>283259179I'd say Kage Summit is peak edginess because that's when he unlocked Susanoo while talking about MUH DARKNESS and then he stone cold shanked Karin on the bridge while making crazy faces throughout.
>>283259258He's learned the entire political system want him and his "race" dead and is on the battlefield to avenge them. He goes with the DARKNESS theatrics but really all he does is go kill Danzo and useless pawns like Karin as well. I'm going to say he's very unfair to Karin since she saved his ass but hey.
All these many years later and I still have absolutely no idea why Sakura likes Sasuke beyond shallow teenage girl crush reasons. This guy has made it clear that he is not interested in you on any level, has actively attempted to kill you, and aside from a few moments has never demonstrated any friendliness or kindness towards her.
>>283259258I think Sasuke going crazy over a guy who had his family member's eyes all over his arm as decoration is justified
>>283259281>>283259258>>283259243>>283259179>>283259162I hated how kishi completely castrated this mother fucker in bort.I would like to see sauske at least deal with some truama or ptsd from all that shit he went through, maybe even snap and try to kill naruto. Or destroy the village.
>>283259290>I still have absolutely no idea why Sakura likes Sasuke beyond shallow teenage girl crush reasons. This guy has made it clear that he is not interested in you on any level, has actively attempted to kill youKishimoto actually writes realistic women
>>283259281>>283259314Oh I'm not saying he's unjustified, I'm just saying that I feel like that was Sasuke at his edgiest.
>>283259331>maybe even snap and try to kill narutoThat'd be bad imo, he's supposed to have learned and accepted Naruto. They made up in 699. If you want to see him snap it'd have to be against Naruto's opponents
>>283259331Sasuke couldn't even kill Naruto with 8 and half tailed beast powering him, wtf is he going to do against Naruto?
>>283258803I want a dark spin-off about the Third Shinobi War.I want to see how Orochimaru transformed from a weird but friendly guy into a psychopath who only wants to become immortal. How Tsunade created the medical ninja rules and how she became disappointed with politics and the shinobi world after her brother and husband died. How random civilians tried to survive in a war-torn land. How children were sent to the front and got traumatized. How some ninjas (like Sasori) lost their humanity in the bloody battles. How other ninjas managed to remain humane.There are many interesting stories that likely won't be told.
>>283258030Most definately. Sasuke and Naruto were barely even friends.
>>283258728Do you have any actual counterargument other than screeching "S-SAMEFAG!!!" like a retard?
>>283259364Shame about Naruto that Naruto is the least interesting thing in it and Kishi doesn't even use Naruto as a conduit for interacting with the world outside of the first 2 arcs
>>283259355Powerlevels aren't real. But that'd be very OOC for him to do
>>283259331Nah, I'd hate that. Sasuke is one of the most insufferable "edgy" characters out there. I prefer his pre-SRA self.
>>283259390Jiraiya is the more interesting Naruto, I'd watch a spin-off showing him being untalented but somehow managing to become legendary like this.
>>283258712When last was she aggressive to Naruto? and with it being without good reason considering how retarded Naruto currently is.
>>283259290She's the embodiment of "AHHH YES I CAN FIX HIM"
>shipfags shit the thread>againAnd it's almost always pinkshitters, goddamn.
>>283259433She literally just smacked him a few chapters ago because Naruto thought Sai called her hulkish.
>>283259521I wish they focused more on this
>>283258803I think a "Naruto Super" inbetween the end of Shippuden and Boruto is the most likely scenario really
>>283259290How else would he be able to reproduce for the revival of his clan.
>>283259572Naruto and Sasuke have no threats during that time, and could crush any nation that opposed them.wtf would the plot be?
>>283259572Agreed , just make boruto something of that like a dragon ball gt , and make a naruto prequel disregarding boruto.>unless the writers of boruto make some twisted ending were the entire show was a dream state.But thats going to take some big cojones to pull of
>>283259649>But thats going to take some big cojones to pull ofNot really. Does anyone really care about Boruto?
>>283259593> Karin/ Sasuke The Child would have been able to get the Rin'nengan Since Uzumaki share the Senju gen and Uchiha/Senju line enables the Rin'nengan. Just like Madara did and how Nagato was able to wield it. That child would have been stronger than sarada in bort.
>>283259572Personally, I'd just like to see everyone's The Last designs utilized for more than just a single movie.
>>283259693>The Child would have been able to get the Rin'nenganKishi reconnected it so only those with Indura and Ashura chakras mixed together are able to awaken the Rinnegan If Sasuke was a girl Naruto and fem Sasuke could pump out Rinnegan kids
>>283259572Ew, that would be worse.
>>283259728That means if bort and sarada produce = no rinnegan childI mean either way just karins and her uzumaki genes would still make the kid stronger than sarada.
>>283259649>and make a naruto prequelWhy would you want that after the one shot?
>>283259331Completing reversing all his development would be tremendous, I would agree with those who say Boruto spits on Naruto's legacy.>>283259693Not how the rinnegan works, you need the chakra of the reincarnations, Naruto's and Sasuke's child at most would have one.
>>283259806>Grabbing someone with Uzumaki chains and then using Chidori to electrocute themDamn Kishimoto should have made Sakura get with Rock Lee to make the ultimate tai jutsu fighter
>>283259693The Uzumakis were simply said to be "distant relatives" of the Senju. Going by the end of the manga, that could also mean that the Uzumakis ascend directly from Kaguya or from Hagoromo.
>>283259728>Nart casts the sexy jutsu>gets pregnant by Sauce>keeps the transformation for 9 months (thanks to the ocean of chakra)>gives birth to a (potential) rinnengan child>repeat
>>283259693>Since Uzumaki share the Senju gen and Uchiha/Senju line enables the Rin'nengan.That was never how the rinnegan worked.
>>283259843>Completing reversing all his development would be tremendous,If he were to not regress from being a psychopathic cold killer like he was at the 5ks then he should either be incarcerated or killed.
>>283259915doujin when
I scrolled through the thread and I have to say that any kind of Kushina comparison relative to shipfaggotry makes it seem like self-inserters really enjoy pseudo-incest for some reason
>>283259913My head canon was that since the Uzumakis can summon the grim reaper that:The Senju were the bodyThe Ucihia were the mindThe Uzumaki were the soulall 3 combined makes the Sage of Six Paths
>>283259999I prefer the headcanon that they're Hagoromo's descendants, and that the Uzumaki and Hyuga are his version of the Senju and Uchiha.
>>283259290It makes sense when you look at the other guys she had to interact with for most of part 1>screeching autist who has a gay crush on his rival>ugly autistAnd every boy apart from them and Sasuke either barely knows she exists. Sasuke wins by default
>>283260083Hiashi's keikaku made me believe that this is canon kek
>>283254196no, that's correct
Do Japanese fans not find it weird how Itachi is literally named "weasel", especially since he's supposed to be a serious character?
>>283260276>weaselWhat if Temari actaully had a summoning contract with Itachi and it took solo king to beat Tayuya?
>>283260276So? Paul means "small". Short name for "Richard" is "Dick".
>>283258803After Boruto ends he should just take us back to the blank period which people wanted to see, undo the shackled corpo safe ending and give Naruto the reward he chased the entire series. >pictured: the ninja alliance including Hinata seeing what's in Naruto's heart (it's Sasuke)
>>283259442>She's the embodiment of "AHHH YES I CAN FIX HIM"Given the context of the series, literally the only thing wrong with her thinking that is that she wasn't born strong and chosen enough for that
>>283260380>leaking your homosexuality on the display for the entire army of your friends, colleagues and teachersEmbarrassing as fuck
>>283260412His dad also knew.
>>283260184Not necessarily same with naruto and hinata there was no development
>>283260719SasuSaku arguably had more "development" than any couple in the story.
>>283258030Guts and Griffith were definitely bros to an extent, they were at ease around one another and Griffith cared less about how Guts perceived him than the other soldiers. Of course there were irreconcilable differences in how they perceived their friendship, with Guts not suspecting how irreplaceable he is to Griffith and Griffith's ego not letting him stand for Guts to see them as equals.
>>283260780I know this is bait but do explain.
>>283260903But sheer number of meaningful moments, they have the most of all of them.
>>283260903NTA, but development doesn't necessarily mean a positive one
>>283260780>>283260903This was their peak
>>283259290As a professional SasuSaku hater I've thought about this a lot more than Kishimoto ever had and it could only really be explained believably like this:From the academy days Sakura could see Sasuke's potential and the inevitable prestigious ninja career that would come of his hard work. Sasuke deviating from this path makes Sakura feel personally responsible to intervene on his behalf, but Sasuke is a train wreck that she can only watch. Her dad probably told her to get over that Sasuke kid which reinforced her resolve.Instead of logically moving on she feels more deeply responsible for salvaging a situation that she drew herself into further with the confession which is how she ended up trying to find resolve to kill him with a poisoned kunai to at least keep Sasuke from dishonoring himself further. Sakura putting on a brave face during the war knowing nothing has changed culminating in her desperate appeal, which she knows is futile given he was going to let her die in lava minutes before but the fact he used his rinnegan powers to switch places with her flak jacket instead of her means he isn't completely gone.
>>283260780>>283260946This scene shits on any sort of positive development Sauce and Sakura ever had.
>>283261120And complete ignoring of her for months, years even after she confessed shits on this scene>b-butHeard all of the copium excuses, unconvinced by any
>>283261024The Sasuke we lost....FUCK Itachi
>>283261120That wasn't the point.
>>283261210still better than any sasusaku moment.
>>283260304Tayuya's jutsu hard counters Itachi.
>>283261323If I suggest that Itachi was henged as a weasel in the sasuke retrieval arc you shouldn't answer me seriously.
>>283260957>>283261024>>283261240I think sasuke and sakura could work as an undevelopped relationship if the story gave us any reason to believe sasuke actually was interested in her and restraining himself, without her knowing. Kind of like if he was a monk vowing abstinence, to fully devout himself to his cause, giving a spiritual sense to his revenge quest like it was a religion.
>>283261240How DARE you insult the COOLEST big brother in ALL OF FICTION?!
>>283261391If I suggest that any member of the Sound Four hard counters any member of the Akatsuki you shouldn't answer me seriously.
>Ignores Hinata's confession for 2 years straight>Muh food analogy>Could have bagged her at any moment>She seemingly falls for moon man (lmao)>Seethes like a manbaby
>>283261120>this post immediately makes a Hinata hatefag seetheKek, every time.
>>283261633>Ignores Hinata's confession for 2 years straightThat wasn't a confession. She used the "I love you platonically" term.
>>283261633>Naruto's classmate with dojutsu is taken away from Konoha by a pale stranger who plans to make them his own, ultimately Naruto joins up again with them and they fight an Otsutsuki before having a dreamy sequence of sharing memories and sharing an intimate momentdamn where have I heard this story before
>>283261748Fuck off Kishimoto, we all knew she meant it romantically and you even drew Naruto reacting to it like he completely understood the sentimentos!
Truth be told, I feel like I wouldn't mind shipping as much if more people treated it like it was just a facet of their broad interest in an IP, but what it feels like in reality is that way, WAY too many people seem to think that the actual unironic endgame of any given story is that their favorite pairing holds hands and walks into the sunset, all the other parts of the narrative be damned.
>>283259331Ikemoto and the writer who left did that. Not canon.
>>283254821Naruto is a funny retard who does cool shit in battle. Sakura is any of that.
>>283259290Here ya go.
>>283262015at least he basically admits it was shit lmao
>>283262015Peak writing skills.
>>283261610Kidoumaru low diffs Hidan.
>>283258803That would require Kishimoto to do something beyond oneshots now. Its much easier for him to just write movies and make oneshots for the series. Just have those set pre 700.
>>283260276Almost every name means something (famously Naruto himself), the other day we had an anon who complained about Code's name, and it was brought up to him how his problem came from him having the only name he recognized.
>>283261786Hey now, Orochimaru didn't want to marry Sasuke and repopulate the planet with him.
>>283262169He only wanted to... join with him mind, body and spirit after all.
>>283262081Using Hidan is cheating, any chunin can beat him!
>>283262015This proves his statement >>283257703
>>283262015I am no shipper, but the main reason I prefer naruto and sakura is that it would have given Sakura something she doesn't have in the manga: A character arc. Sakura starts off as a shallow girl who crushes on Sasuke because he's cool, dark, and handsome, and hates Naruto because he's annoying, but as time passes and she realizes who Naruto and Sasuke are as people, she comes to understand what it actually means to love someone and her feelings shift towards Naruto. It would demonstrate her growth and maturity from a girl pursuing someone based on superficial feelings to a mature adult who has a proper understanding of genuine love.
>>283262212No?
>>283262212No it doesn't. It just further proves she shouldn't have been a main character.
>>283262212It doesn't, you retard. Naruto shouldn't have ended up with the abusive bitch.
>>283262237I get what you're saying, but that can be achieved by liking almost any other guy, too.
>>283262377It would not, Sakura would have got too much hate. Lots of the fandom believe she doesn't deserve Naruto and would complain that she got with him just because Sasuke was not the best option anymore. Hinata fans boys would have been pissed too of how Naruto didn't take into consideration the only girl who like him from the start. At the end it was Kishimotos fault he was trying to do a love triangle with team seven, plus the situation of Hinata and he wrote horribly all of this relationship. Sometimes I believe that Naruto as a series would have benefit with not making clear the couples. Like we could see just how naruto is Hokage and let the rest to imagination
I impregnated Sakura
>>283262430We know, Kakashi.
>>283262430Akamaru...
>>283262425It would. Just make an entirely new guy character whose sole purpose is to get with her. Maybe make him look a bit goofy to illustrate how looks are irrelevant to her by then.
oh he's back to drawcucking againthat explains a few things
>>283247721We NEED an Akatsuki infusion, stat
>>283262430>>283262455You mean Morio

>>283262998I swear, you keep trying to push your luck as if people will sudeenly like you failed attempts at humor and "lore" after all your meltdowns and thr fact you artificially manufactured its "appeal" since only you bring it up. Give it a rest
>>283262015I feel like Kishimoto despises naruto and Hinata and sauske and sakura deep down? He knew he fucked up.
It probably would've been the best if Sakura ended up with Lee. >Unlike Sasuke, Lee cares about Sakura and is also more mature than Naruto>Sakura actually treats Lee with respect, unlike Naruto>It would've been good character development to have Sakura grow from hating Lee because he looked weird to actually liking him for his positive traits>Lee getting with the girl he liked would be the only win he'd get after part 1
>>283263075I always was a SakuLee supporter, but it was obviously not going to happen since most fans consider Lee ugly.
>>283263068This is the first time I've referenced anything from /nart/ in like over a year. Take your meds.
>>283263093Having it happen paints her in a better light. Like how looks aren't important and all that.
>>283263094It isn't, but I like how you admitted it's you without any smokescreens.
so he's trying to bring back his failed memes "conveniently" while dailyramen is sitting in time-out, implying that he somehow draws this vague correlation between the two
>>283254507imagine getting powerbottomed by her in her stage 2 form
>>283263125It is. I'm usually always damm late to the dumps. >>283262945No.....
>>283263138The schizo delusionally thinks the original OP was somehow the reason nobody likes his shitty memes.
>>283263169So your rangeban was removed?
>>283254821did people ever actually say Sasuke fucked with Naruto specifically? I remember him being considered a cynical elitist dick, but not a bully. The worst he ever did to Naruto was tease him for being a coward when they first encounter those mist ninja. Sasuke up to the Chunin exams is pretty consistently written as dark and troubled, but ultimately goodhearted guy. He doesn't WANT to be cruel, he just feels he has no choice if he wants to get Itachi. On many occasions his mask slips and shows the warmhearted guy he naturally is. He doesn't start to fully descend into darkness until Itachi Tsukuyomi's him.
>>283263224I never got one of those Sakura-chan. I'm a good boy, mmkay.
>>283263257Ah, so you were lying the whole time like originally thought. That tracks.
That... music...
>>283257196he just brushes his hair differently. he has long bangs beforehand, they're just brushed up and away from his forehead.
>>283263295I don't hear anything....
>>283263169Yes!
>>283257703it only works if you fundamentally change who Sakura is as a character.
>>283263075>>283263114The problem is the japanese fandom.Sakurafags wouldn't settle for anyone bellow Naruto and Sasuke, and Sasukefags wouldn't want any of the unpopular Sakura clones to end up with Sasuke.Also, Kishi hates Lee.
>>283263357Kishi had intentions during pain-5 kage arcs but it all went to shit.>this was confirmed by his wife btw.
Dude burnt every bridge constantly attacking people, trying to turn Naruto threads into his personal hangout with forced fetish memes, tried to make other posters his personal army to somehow get Boruto cancelled, admitting he hates Naruto and wishes it was removed from the site, and harrassed OG OP and tried to shutdown the daily threads, but somehow still thinks everyone will accept his stupid shit with open arms.
>>283263327oh shit is that Uzumaki Chronicles? one of those weird little things on my nostalgia bucket list to revisit
>>283263402No, the problem is he just didn't care enough about who she got with. Or really her in general.
>>283263432Yes. I replayed it. That shit filtered me as a kid. Tsunade has massive 3D honkers in this. Kid me was bamboozled!
>>283263422he feels like a weird /vg/ nutcase that ended up here just by coincidence

>>283263335NO
>>283263335I bet he used his Rinnegan to watch
>>283263571Kek
>300+ chapters and we still haven't even gotten the in-universe explanation of Chakra Natureswhat the hell man
>>283263402>Also, Kishi hates Lee.Seeing his treatment in the manga, it really feels that way. >>283263450No, that anon is right. Sasusaku is insanely popular in the east, despite how shitty all of the buildup to their relationship is.
Just remembered kishi's a tekkenfag....he's just like me.....except rich and successful...and married.....wait.....
>>283263688Kishi is the kind of guy to actually take all the Mishima family drama seriously
>>283263678Even so that's not enough for him to care. Too lazyruto. Or maybe both are correct.
>>283263732
>>283263633Kishi legit made it up on the spot. he probably was playing Pokemon at the time and thought it was cool. Notice how partway through the Kage summit he drops the whole elemental rock-paper-scissors aspect and goes back to how it worked before chakra nature was introduced.
>>283263678I heard the opposite in japan.Theyre pretty upset
>>283263789What is Kishimoto's favourite generation of Pokemon
>>283263733Even if Kishi didn't care (which is mostly likely the case, especially by the time he had to finish the manga) his editors most likely keep pressing him to do what would please the fans the most.
>>283263826If Kishi cared about what they or the Shueisha thought, Naruto would still be ongoing. When it comes to Sakura and almost anything related, he just loses interest.
>>283263808Kishi feels like he'd be a mark for Gen 4 because that's when the godly lore powercreep really hit it's apex (bonus for being the last Japanese-inspired region too)
>>283263875Based PlatinumGOD.
>>283263633Did anyone even care about chakra natures?
>>283263906Me. And fanficfags. And game idea fags.
>>283263906no. it was unnecessary lore to explain something that people already intuitively understood, and retroactively made other jutsu (like shadow possession and poison creation) nonsensical. Temari didn't need special wind chakra to conjure up her attacks, she had a magic ninja fan. it didn't need to be explained beyond that. Uchiha fireballs were just a classic fantasy ninja move.
>>283263906I think it's interesting seeing what the actual limits of the systems is, but then against stuff like ice requiring some fused element kekkei genkai will always be weird to me
>>283263995>ice requiring some fused element kekkei genkai will always be weird to meYeah. Maybe I'm too avatar-brained lol.
>>283263688>>283263732I still boot up Storm 2 sometimes just to play as Lars. They should've put Jin and Kazuya in Storm 4.
>>283263995Yeah, I think it's neat seeing what exactly you can do with chakra and how much you can push elements (to the point of Dust Release just basically being an atomizer), but elemental strengths and weaknesses feels too "game-y", that sort of stuff just doesn't work well in a medium like this
>Get b&>Try to appeal 3 day ban (lmao)>Get denied (Lmao)>Ban extended (LMAOOOO)All while he's still posting just without a trip, he's only doing that because he wants to show how he's "le good guy" and "never ban evades"Kek what a fucking retard.
>>283264187>Ban extended????
>>283264049They absolutely should have yes. Kishi's Lars design should be in Tekken 8. Damm you Scamco
>>283264255https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/283154106/#283180860_1Absolute state of warehouse workers lel
>>283263789That's not true, it's brought up once again with wind jutsu being required for the third Raikage.
>>283262237>>283262425Having Sakura settle with a toxic psychopath in Sasuke wasn't the correct path to go and I firmly stand by that statement. She needs to be better to herself than that. All the love continously wasted on him only brought more pain. Naruto being with Hinata is ok, but ultimately unrealistic. They never spent much time together and by the time the series was over, it was way too late to fix that issue. No movie can ever fix that. The Naruto and Sakura friendship/ relationship is the one given the most focus, most screentime, most interest, and most development. The fact that Kishimoto never capitalized on that proves to me he was just not ready to end this series. It proves to me that he was the worse of the big 3. It proves to me that he needed a break, but was pushed too hard and running on fumes. Writers fatigue setting in as all sense with the franchise slowly faded away. I despise the Last. I always have. But I don't think it's the source of all the problems that exist within the brand that extends to Boruto today. But it sure as hell is a symptom!
>>283264311I repeat>Ban extended????He said out the gate he got hit with a 30-day beforehand, where's the extension?
>>283264339the issue with NaruSaku is Hinata was deliberately designed to be the perfect wife for him. so, regardless of Sakura's chemistry with him, it leaves Hinata out in the cold and Naruto is stuck with a girl who even with the best interpretation isn't really that good for him.
>>283264339That type of stuff was secondary. It's why he didn't bother.
a million curses be delivered to anyone who puts a love triangle in their story, I've never once seen that shit improve a narrative
>>283264357>He said out the gate he got hit with a 30-day beforehand30? He usually gets 3 days like a total retard. Maybe I misread. But he's still a fucking idiot>/pol/posting with a trip you use for other shit so you forcefully kill it for a month>Not just using another trip ("b-but I never ban evade guise...")>Still posting here (You), regardless Actually scratch that second one, he is using another trip, Sakon the Jobber (You) absolutely is Dailyramen (You) larping as someone else, color me surprised.
>>283246380Search for Tsunade was good.I think Tenchi Bridge suffers from how little impact it has in the story moving onwards. Orochimaru and Kabuto are removed from the story until the war, the Nine Tails getting out of control only gets brought up again in the Pain fight, the glowie ops are ignored, Yamato amd Sai don't really get to be important characters. The arc would probably be just fine if it weren't so inconsequential to the plot and Naruto didn't act like he's back to his Land of Waves developmental stage.
>>283264457Inuyasha
>>283264339>unrealisticWhat's actually unrealistic is having the teenage girl drop her cruch for some other guy. Also, realism? In my mythological ninja story? Lol.
