Akatsuki Suppression MissionChapter 311: NicknamesPrevious chapter: >>283438138Start: https://desuarchive.org/_/search/boards/a.desu.meta/subject/Daily%20Naruto%20Chapter/filter/text/page/8/Dailyramen is busy cleansing the Senjus. I will be posting until he returns.
When he says >YOU ARE MY LONGEST WAY OOOH>SO I GO THE DISTANCE I felt that.
>>283463316Naruto... Have you even studied in the last 3 years?
>>283463158>Damn, is it time for me to get back into the story?
>>283463198so did the next mission already happen per >>283438595>>283438706or is this the downtime right before they're going on that mission?
>>283463301>why isn't he willing to give his life over to me :(
>>283463370The coloring team is just getting lazy at this point.
>>283463387>UGLY
smug pink
>>283463331>>283463350>>283463370>>283463387Cute autism. Sai could have had real potential with Team 7 if Kishi used him more. Although I'm not really a fan of his art-no-jutsu.
>>283463177>Green herbs and red herbsThe fuck is this, Resident Evil?
NARUTOBROS OUR TIME IS NOW
sasuke is a DOPER
>>283463492So by "our" he meant "his"
>>283463492>nothing for sakuraexcept punch harder
>>283463492time to go from jobber to broken God in one arc
>>283463492Could this be the fabled kage bunshin training hack?
>>283463316just a competition with sasuke, btw
>>283463331>translation dropping "-san" from the dialogue has consequences when they have no way to show a character changing how he speakswho could've seen it coming
>>283463492Is he talking about the bullshit clone training? What a lame ass pull that is. also Kakashi is about to mog all 3 sanins as a teacher in one arc
>>283463387BASED
>>283463167Autism is such an endemic in Konoha their small library has at least 14 books about masking techniques.
>>283463498That boy ain't natty
>>283463473What’s funny is that it doesn’t even seem like Sasuke actually did any drug/forbidden jutsu stuff based on all the context we know of the full story, making it seem like they’re just coping for sitting on their asses for 3 years
>>283463451
>>283463473wonder if other villages are funding orochimaru and kabuto's research if their methods prove that effective. Iwa maybe?
>>283463492While the clone training is an interesting idea. It just means that both Sakura and Sai will be left in the dust. Sai will be pretty much irrelevant for the entirety of the story and Sakura's next story beat will be the stupid fake love confession. Kishi really should have given them something.
>>283463451...
>>283463451. . .
>>283463167>>283463177>>283463198Cute Sai.
>>283463742>>283463798>>283463813WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING!?
>>283463158I always thought Kakashi in that tank top looked really hot.
>>283463492Thank you OP.And we return to the honored tradition to separate Naruto from the rest of the cast and never make him collaborate with his team.
>>283463736To be fair, Sharingan in itself seems like a hack for training. He adapted Lee's style as his own after taking 1 (one) ass beating by him. He didn't even have to train. Sasuke improvised it during the chunin exam preliminary. Then Kakashi helped him take it a step further during the exams training break. Now imagine what someone like Orochimaru could teach to someone with that kind of skill.
See ya tomorrow, anons.
>>283463387I still hate this guy but he is fucking based sometimes.
>>283463835
>>283463894...
Who is the least Autistic person in Naruto?
Imagine being a Japanese highschooler in the 2000s. You buy your weekly shounen jump issue with your pocket money, looking forward to catch up to your favourite shounen Naruto, and this is the chapter you have to hold your week over. Riveting.
>>283463956This one at least sets up something that would presumably make the MC less of a fucking bitch. It's better than the last week's worth of chapters.
>>283463950Kakashi.
>>283463950Maybe Iruka? He seems like a chill guy.
>>283463956thankfully there were 7-10 other series running at the same time so you could just read something else.
>>283463158>DailyramenWhy even mention the faggot? Just asking for drama.
>>283463950UhhhhMaybe Temari?
>>283463670>sulking over his boyfriend Kishi really should have just made Naruto gay
>>283463488Stop with this "muh potential" garbage. Sai is just a shittier rehash of part 1 Gaara.
>>283463742>>283463813>>283463901>>283463932>>283463989
>>283463950Asuma
>>283464027One piece was in the middle of Enies Lobby and Ichigo had revealed his Vaizard form to Grimmjow.
>>283463492sakurabros, we're already getting left behind....
>>283463950Ino. Absolutely, unequivocally Ino. She's a healthy, functional person who got over her childhood obsession like any normal person would and has healthy, functional relationships with the people around her. Ino is just straight up normal, and she matures like any normal person would. It's like Kishimoto accidentally blundered his way into writing a woman correctly but nothing came of it because she was a side character who lacked enough overall importance within the greater narrative.
>>283463301Thinking about it now, why is Naruto seemingly incapable of understanding that Sasuke is working with Orochimaru of his own free will? He just told him here straight up and still Naruto refuses to get it through his head. It makes no sense to me, yes Naruto is retarded but something this simple should not be beyond his mental faculties
>>283463488>ugly design>lame personality The only good thing he has is his jutsu, but him and Yamato were lame additions
>>283464221Ino could be renamed Stacy and nothing would change
>>283464112Nah. Gaara has always had some sense of social skill since his first introduction. His trauma may have changed how he expresses himself, but he knows how to read people pretty well. Sai has no clue when it comes to connecting with people. So his fails are pretty funny since he's genuinely trying now
>>283464194>Ichigo had revealed his Vaizard form to GrimmjowHype
>>283464194Are we sure all three of them were big?
>>283464231Because Haku and Gaara unironically. There is a good story in there but Kishi is not doing it well.
>>283464221>She's a healthy, functional person who got over her childhood obsessionLol. Lmao. Did you speedread the story? She settles with Sai because he "looks" like Sasuke. That's not getting over your childhood obsession.
>>283464221>It's like Kishimoto accidentally blundered his way into writing a woman correctlyMost of Kishimoto's depictions of women being shitty are accurate. Sakura is genuinely one of the most realistic female character out there.
>>283464253>Gaara has always had some sense of social skill since his first introduction.That was literally only in his debut. He then got reconned into being a hyper autist that can't read the room until he was turned good by Naruto and started bonding with others. It's more or less the same concept as Sai but more interesting.
>>283463198>>283463212I never noticed Sai and Sakura are actually kinda cute together (even with the next scene gag included, that's just his autism), they talk like normal people with a developing communication/relationship.Sakura really is very enjoyable the moment Naruto or Sasuke aren't around
>>283464251I'm not saying she's a shining example of character writing. But she's a believable female character in a series that has a desperate need for believable female characters. She's ordinary as fuck, but she also basically got all of the character development that Sakura should have received. And again: she grew out of her teenage crush on Sasuke and he the fuck up. She's not autistic because if she were (i.e, if she were Sakura) she'd still be desperately simping after her years later. Is she kind of a haughty bitch? Totally. But that just makes her more believable. She's one of the very few characters in the entire manga that reads like a real person.
>>283464319You're retarded
>>283464326She winds up with a guy who's her type, without continuing to pine for the one who got away when she was 13. That's called growth, anon.
>>283464392>And again: she grew out of her teenage crush on SasukeNo she didn't. You're dumb.
>>283463316Naruto is so fucking annoying, god, no wonder Sakura can't stand himAlso>even Sakura is now bullying Naruto for not training
>>283464326She got over her Saucegay obsession, which is more than other female characters can say.>b-but in Boruto she-Noncanon shit.
>>283464392>But she's a believable female character in a series that has a desperate need for believable female characters.The story has enough believable shitty females, lmao.
>>283463316>still hates on Sai for some reasonIs he genuinely retarded?
>>283463177why is he so pale. Danzo hangs out in the underground ROOT cave all day too and looks normal
>>283464423>Asuma's final words were telling her not to lose to Sakura in the Saus-bowl>cries over Sasuke when the Konoha 12 decides to hunt him down>her Infinite Tsukuyomi is about Sasuke and Sai fighting over herOh yeah. She definitely got over it...
>>283464450Speedreader
>>283464442She absolutely did. Ending up with a guy who's similar to Sasuke does not mean she still wanted to be with Sasuke specifically. People often have a type that they go for. Ino likes edgeboys. Which is lame, but believable. If she were like Sakura, she'd have still been sobbing over Sasuke years later and doing everything in her power to be with him. If Sasuke told Ino he hated her to her face, her response wouldn't be to keep pursuing him like Sakura. It would be, "You know what? Fuck this guy. I'm done." Because Ino has self-respect.
>>283464388His flashback shows him making a fair attempt at playing with other kids, expressing his emotions with Yashamaru, and trying to make up for Shukakus violence. I'd argue that he deteriorates during the exams due to Shukaku getting a taste for violence. Ever since the forest, his mental state only gets worse.
>>283464287Naruto beat One Piece in Popularity polls a few times. Bleach was always the constant 3rd place that would sometimes bounce to 2nd before going into a death Spiral.Naruto was always popular and did very well. Tenshi Bridge was the lowest part though.
>>283464500>cries over Sasuke when the Konoha 12 decides to hunt him downDis nigga wouldn't feel bad if he found out your local police force were hunting down his old classmate/crush that got taken by a man with candy in a van.>her Infinite Tsukuyomi is about Sasuke and Sai fighting over herThat literally happens like a month later and is the most benign shit of boys fighting over her.
>>283464396Why?
I’m writing a Naruto fanfiction story.
>>283464613Dear god
>>283464613What about?
>>283463473>Sasuke's rate of maturation isn't ordinaryJust you wait till you see how quickly Naruto will asspulls God modes out of his ass.Seriously, was that line just thrown in order to make Naruto and his "results" not look as pathetic? Because from what we have seen so far, there was nothing Sasuke had shown that couldn't be developed in almost 3 years, and any sort of training drugs were never mentioned again
>>283464571>Dis nigga wouldn't feel bad if he found out your local police force were hunting down his old classmate/crush that got taken by a man with candy in a van.Ino also acted really happy when she saw Naruto return to the village. Her getting depressed that an old childhood friend is being hunted down honestly sounds pretty plausible.
>>283463492When you really think about it, Naruto is fucking stupid. Obviously, but worse than that. If it still takes him as long to learn and grow with the clones as it does, his actual rate of growth must be pathetically slow.The jury is still out on how hard it even is to learn Rasengan. He basically tells Konohamaru about it offscreen and the kid can perform a solid one the next time we see him.
yup yuuup
>>283463492Aaaand from now on we are completely dropping Sakura.Thanks, Kishi/Kakashi. You didn't even bother
>>283464547The head cannon is wild with you
>>283463875He really does, he was there for girls before Gojo
>>283464571Ino was shown to never actually be close to Sasuke and liked him for superficial reasons, like every other girl that swoons over him. She was the only 1 crying over him because she still liked him, even though everyone else in her generation was resolved to take Sasuke out. >muh typeYou're coping hard. Ino ending up with Sai was because she settled for a Sasuke look-a-like which is very indicative that she never got of her crush with him.
>>283464231You're missing the part where Orochimaru wants to possess his body and, from naruto's POV, sasuke is going to die in 6 months if he can't bring him back. Sasuke killing Orochimaru himself isn't on anyone's radar, it'd be like thinking Naruto could take on Jiraiya right now.
>>283464769Why are Ino haters so retarded and unhinged?
>>283464769>You're coping hard. Ino ending up with Sai was because she settled for a Sasuke look-a-likeThat's literally your headcanon retard, lmao
>>283464769>Ino only liked Sasuke for superficial reasons(like his looks). She never got to know him personally>She doesn't have a type(she marries a guy who just LOOKS like Sasuke kinda, nothing else similar about them.>she never got over Sasuke thoDawg, did you read what you wrote and really think it checked out? You just proved anon's point.
>>283464796>>283464833>>283464839Truth hurts, huh samefag?
>>283463387Brutal
Ino could name her kid Sasuke and this idiot would still be claiming she got over him lol
>>283464625Believe it!>>283464639It’s about a Naruto who gets tired dealing with the double standards, prejudice and social exclusion of the Elemental Nations and travels west to the Western Lands to become Emperor. There’s a huge wall that all the Elemental Nations put there to block out the nations in the Western Lands because they’re super duper powerful and they’re scared of them.Unlike the gay Japanese names that the mainstory uses my story is going to have characters using explicitly western Anglicised names like Kyle, Jeremy, Johnson, Sarah, Kelly and Tyrone. Naruto will remain Naruto of course.They won’t be able to use chakra but they’ll have their own energy system that is exactly like chakra or ki.Im going to write that they’re stronger because they’re always having war with one another but I won’t address how that’s the Hidden Villages are the exact same. Nor will I write what counter measures they have from just being nuked by a tailed beast.Naruto harem with all thick blonde pawgs and one mixed girl (not too black). Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Konoha citizens and Sakura mother bashing. Wish me luck!
>>283463473I am reasons this for the first time and I didn't realize Sasuke was full of drugs. Does this mean he spends most of part II after Orochimaru going thru roid rage?
>>283464910>>283464986>accuses others of samefagging >proceeds to samefag himselfKek, you're a pathetic moron
>>283465093I don't think you understand what samefagging is, retard.
>>283465036Oh and Konoha council bashing too (only the citizens of course).
>>283463387What are the implications hereIs Sakura supposed to actually be ugly in-universe, or is Sai meant to be a fag that finds all women ugly?
>>283464647Naruto consistently trains to be the best but lacks concentration. Sasuke knew the basics. He just wasn't as good as his older brother. Fugaku wanted to make more Itachi just like how Gaara is the future sand soldier.
>>283463167>How to Win Friends and Influence PeopleSai is LITERALLY me
This idiot thinks commenting on how retarded he is constitutes as samefagging. Lol. Lmao.
>>283465148>is Sai meant to be a fag that finds all women ugly?This
>>283465036Wait, but wher->>283465146Oh there you go, thank GodWelcome back to 2008, anon. I wish you well
>>283465148Sakura trained with Tsunade who uses a disguise to hide her haggery. Milk trucks like Samui don't really come until later. Sakura is a trashy slob she just hides it
>>283465036>They won’t be able to use chakra but they’ll have their own energy system that is exactly like chakra or ki.Burger-Power
>>283465201Thank you anon.People are talking about a housing market crash later in the year but I’m sure that’s a nothing burger.
>>283465240Sai also thought Ino was ugly when he meets her the first time
Honestly, it feels as if a large number of fanfiction writers didn’t actually like Naruto (the character).
>>283465352Yeah, they often use him as a "blank slate" aka "self-insert". Honestly, I've pretty much given up on Naruto fics altogether. Only new ones coming out are just cultivation patreon scams
>>283465423I'm writing a short and sweet one where he buys flowers from the Yamanaka flower shop. just a quick little friendship bonding moment between him and Ino over their shared love for gardening
>>283465352TrueAs someone read a lot of fic (mainly Fate and Zero No Tsukaima) it's not normal how the average Naruto fic really hates Naruto as a character
>>283465423Patreon? Grim.
>>283463167>>283463177>>283463198Where is Sai on the spectrum?
>>283465466Sounds lame
The Konoha Civilian Council… my greatest enemy.
>>283464839>>283464833>he was too much of a retard to properly respond to either of these postsLol. Lmao.
>>283465534not for you, then
>>283463158It's timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTLFZ2DCjn0YOU KNOW THE CLOSER YOU GET TO SOMETHING THE TOUGHER IT IS TO SEE IT
>>283465612Not for anyone. It sounds lame. Do better.
>>283463387Kek
>>283463387This is epic foreshadowing to who he ends up with later!
>he's too much of a retard to realize his posts aren't worth replying toYou're really just verifying the samefagging accusation anon. Quit while you're ahead.
>>283463742>>283463451
>>283465673it's for me, the writer, so that's one person. btfo
>>283463492Unfortunately little did we know this is when the rest of the Team would begin to lose their relevance to future fights. Except Kakashi somehow
>>283465665My favorite OP song of the whole series.
>>283465746Okay. Keep it to yourself in the future so we don't have to be exposed to your lame writing. Thanks.
>>283463473This is Tsunade's in-universe headcanon.
>>283465466That sounds rather sweet, anon. Good luck on it.
>>283465863>replying to yourself after getting called outLol
>>283465036>There’s a huge wall that all the Elemental Nations put there to block out the nations in the Western Lands because they’re super duper powerful and they’re scared of them.It's crazy how fanfic writers keep copying this premise.
>>283465466Sounds like a cute little slice of life fic. I'm writing a fic where Naruto after being betrayed and killed by Sasuke after the fight with Kaguya, is reincarnated in "Insert Latest Shounen Hype Train" and effortlessly one shots all the antagonists of that show while fucking all the girls from that series as well as the ones from High School DxD. Naruto has the Rinnegan, all the tailed beasts, no bed time, and Gamer abilities, but is not OP. Naruto may come off ass OOC but it's because he's become jaded after the war and his abuse in Konoha. I update monthly or you can read 10 chapters ahead if you become a member of my patreon.
>>283464328When people say this I think it’s funny how people complain about Toriyama’s female characters but they’re clearly nowhere as dislikable as Kishimoto’s female characters
>>283465959Pathetic
>thread turned into shitty fanfic shillingIdk if this is worse than the drama with OPs but it's lame enough for me to leave.
>>283465999Please
>>283463316This is your hardworker?
>>283463387SakuSaibros...
>>283465072Certainly possible. Uchiha madness and roid rage would explain why he's so unhinged compared to his peers.
my OC lives on Mt. Myoboku and only practices frog kata and summoning. he is green and carries SCROLLS and respects Gamamaru like a father. He has allegiance to no village and never helps them out in crisis because he would rather be summoning frogs
>>283463813>>283463742>>283463798Ikemoto TRACED this for Sumire.
>>283463894>>283463873>>283463511>>283463492Arigatou, OUR LEADER!
>>283464221Ino nearly waged war on Kumo over Sasuke.
>>283464450>>b-but in Boruto she-Boruto does more for Ino and InoSai than Kishimoto ever did, what are you smoking?That is, unless you count that one scene in gaiden as part of Boruto.
>>283464423>She winds up with a guy who's her type, without continuing to pine for the one who got away when she was 13...off-screen,,,inbetween the second last chapter and the last one.
>>283463817Sakura is pretty cute (both pretty and cute) today as well
>>283464547>It would be, "You know what? Fuck this guy. I'm done." Because Ino has self-respect.Ino is still in good terms with Sasuke and even respects him.
>>283465839nah. I'll post what I want and you can't stop me
>>283466128is your OC a frog?
>>283465148I think he's calling her personality ugly.
>>283464647The fact that Naruto surpasses Sasuke so quickly after this just makes Naruto look more pathetic for wasting the past 3 years.
>>283466327Where would "actually trained during the time-skip" Naruto rank?
>>283463387
>>283464680The more I think about it. the less sense the clone training makes.Like in theory, if you make 365 clones of yourself, and have them all practice for a day, it should be a year of training, right?But training is done through gradual progress, getting a little better each time. You're better on day 2 than on day 1, better on day 3 than day 2, etc.If you make 365 clones, all of those clones will be training like they're on day 1, like they have no experience at all. And even when you disperse them, it would be like you spent a year only doing complete newbie-level training.
>>283463408>>283463387
>>283463387>Ugly>>283463788>HomelyHmmm
>>283466445Just stop thinking. We need Naruto to surpass top tier really quick for the plot, all your actually training fairly their whole life people be damned
Naruto arguably needed more timeskips to give better suspension of disbelief for the power gains in Shippuden
>>283466298no he's pretty good at controlling his nature chakra
>>283463316>Sakura not immediately blowing up at Naruto for trying to make a pass at herOut of the 3 she's probably matured the most.
>>283466283Okay. Then you can expect people to call your shit out for being shit. Have fun.
>>283463742>>283463798>>283463813
>>283464647>asspulls God modes out of his ass.Pot calling the kettle black, uchigger.
>>283463477>You've never had sex before right?
>>283465310Leaf women are hags who it the wall. This is what Leaf women look like before war wears them down.
>>283467164>here's those stealthy Ninja I was telling you about
>>283463473based kabuto got Sasuke on the addyrails
>>283463492There is no legitimate in-universe reason for why over the timeskip Jiraiya didn't teach Naruto his chakra nature or teach him that he shares his clones experience.
I always think of ideas for fanfics and constantly develop them in my head. Thinking of how I want the story to go, making all the shit make sense and everything, it's so fun and enjoyable to think on. I just can't make myself take the time to sit down and start writing again. I did it before, over a decade ago, and actually did really well but I never finished anything. That's probably what keeps me from writing the most, the thought of disappointing thousands of people by never finishing a story feels bad.
>>283467298Nobody asked
>>283467298shillfic anon please
>>283467290Naruto meeting Jiraiya was some of the first episodes I ever saw of the show. I had no idea what i was watching at the time.
>>283463492
>>283467312Nobody asked if anybody asked.>>283467316Don't wanna. Hah. But thanks for asking regardless.
>>283467298I asked
>>283463370>Sai doesn't seem capable of caring that much about usThis one is obviously nonsense, as usual.Can't be bothered to check, but I think it's about him trying really hard.
>>283466382>goes from chunin tier to god tier in monthsAfter 3 years? Right below healthy Itachi.
>>283467386I appreciate you.
>>283467148that's the beauty of the internet, I can post what I want and so can you
>>283463387Pinkcute isn't ugly.
I completely fucking forget, but what does Sakura do from here to the War Arc that puts her on or even above Tsunade's level?
>>283467353that's not a nice thing to say about your little sister
>>283467553nothingI don't think she's even shown in her mission gear, implying she isn't getting missions off-screen either.
>>283467164Does Susanoo even require chakra to use?
>>283463167>>283463177I traced this in highschool.
>>283466445Leaf slicing training is not about building your gradual physical muscle memory, it's a mental exercise. What Naruto is doing with his shadow clones is brute-forcing all of the chakra combinations because he is dumb. in my picture, Naruto is able to make a considerable progress with a merely off training information
>>283466677After Naruto's 4 tail incident with Jiraya, he should have started trying to repress its power out of fear for almost killing someone close to him. To make up for such a large asset lost, Jiraya would go on to train Naruto toad sage. But even after the time skip, Naruto hasn't perfected it.Move on to getting his ass whooped by Sasuke, Kakashi notes how Sasuke's style mains lightning, and reveals Naruto's element as wind, a direct counter to lightning. So Kakashi trains Naruto on how to adapt wind style.Move on to Pain, Naruto realizes his only option to beat such a tough opponent is to finish mastering Sage mode. Since he's already learned an imperfect sage during the time skip, mastering it now won't be such an ass pull.The finally comes his training with Bee, where he comes to accept Kurama as his nakama. I think this set up would make his growth throughout part 2 much smoother.
>>283467164>Kishi made the franchise go full /m/ and didn't get bandai to make a SINGULAR model kitWhat was the point?
>>283467553Focusing chakra in her forehead for the byakugou seal.
>>283467616How is this a question?
>>283467553>Tsunade>1 month worth of byakugou chakra banked (after using it against the world shall know pain)>Sakura>3 years worth of byakugou chakra

>/snk/tard
>>283467649Dragonball already did this plot point with Goku being afraid of losing his humanity to Saiyans, then accepting his crime in the fit of death.
>>283467973And it didn't even take him 5 pages of empty reaction shots and flashbacks!
>>283467973fuck off already
>>283467973Yeah, and Naruto uses that same plot anyway during Tenchi Bridge. The only difference is it's coming from Yamato instead of Naruto realizing his own actions, and it gives a reason for Naruto to learn something other than muh fox chakra over the time skip.
>>283468117And it would have given*
>>283468081samefag
>>283468117Naruto's problem is that it can't slide if it wants to be a standard battle shonen or Ghost in the Shell. The MC himself never really gets his own black ops unit.
>>283468227I'm going to be honest chief, I've never watched or read Ghost in the Shell. I know. I'll get to it sooner or later.
>>283466445It would be more sensible if clone training was used for different activities, like you have a couple of clones training taijutsu, others groups training genjutsu, ninjutsu and sealing.
>>283467373What a faggot
>>283467164That's Madara's Susan.
>>283467164Why were the previous generations leagues above the current ones even though the entire theme in the Leaf is for each generation to surpass the previous? It's comical how much stronger Madara and Hashirama were compared to the current shinobi.
>>283467298>>283467373>>283467386>>283467488All me btw
>>283468371Which Saucecuck has too.
>>283468560Sasuke's wasn't nearly as strong Ninja jesus game him a buff.
>>283468645>Sasuke's wasn't nearly as strongAccording to who?
>>283468645His pre-6 paths susanoo was comparable in size and power to Naruto's kurama avatar which could take on multiple bijuu.
>>283467873thot status: patrolled
>>283467373What a chad
>>283465352They like the platonic ideal of Naruto, a scrappy underdog pariah with unrealized hidden potential, but they don't like the fact that he's an obnoxious dumbass who acts like an obsessed ex in denial over getting dumped. So they write him as a genius gigachad who was only pretending to be retarded, often looking and acting nothing like the actual Naruto funny thing is, most of these types of writers tend to absolutely hate Sasuke but essentially Naruto to act just like him, with the main difference being an actual interest in women
>>283463451Don't worry, Naruto. You'll spend a few days training to develop a new jutsu and then you'll be one-shotting Akatsuki members. Sasuke will be left behind.
>>283469087>who was only pretending to be retardedThat scene with Hinata before his fight with Neji where he talked about being somewhat self-aware of his bluster probably stood out to them
>>283469114>then you'll be one-shotting Akatsuki membersCan't to see the kakuzufags seethe when he jobs.
>>283465423oh hey fanfic anon>>283469087Naruto's personality and intelligence being inconsistent a lot of the time doesn't help.
>>283468834To the manga.>>283468848Still weaker than Madara and weaker than Naruto if their final fight is anything to go by.
Is it just me of is Konohas library very ugly? How often do you think they burn books?
>>283469509>To the manga.Post proof
>>283469613I can't because I made it up.
>>283467290Having Naruto practice the Rasenshuriken during the time skip is a way to avoid making Jiraiya a worthless bum. At the very least, you might say he teaches Naruto about his wind nature transformation. Then about the clone thing, you could say that he wants Naruto to figure out the trick on his own, same as how he learned Rasengan. And Naruto would have an actual new jutsu in his arsenal, he'd just need some more training to complete it.
I'm angry again today

>>283469613>Sasuke getting rekted by Madara>Needing the chakra of all the other bijus + some of Kurama to stalemate with a Naruto that was holding backIt's pretty obvious that Sasuke's was NOT that strong.
>>283470125Iconic design. It just became part of his character even though it makes no sense in universe
>>283470139My bad. I searched through the thread just now. how much you want to be they won't even publish these supposed fics they're writing?
>>283470151>Sasuke getting rekted by MadaraYou mean after he came back to life with a rinnegan and Hashirama implants? Yeah, that's a real fair comparison anon...
>>283470162>they won't even publish these supposed fics they're writingGuaranteed they won't, and it seems to only be 1(maybe 2) amons talking about it
>>283470162>how much you want to be they won't even publish these supposed fics they're writing?Is that better or worse than shillfic?They're shilling here and haven't written anything where he shilled here and wrote how many words now?
>>283464328>Most of Kishimoto's depictions of women being shitty are accurate.Kishi please...
>>283470151It's more like Kishi's bad writing at play. He should have been stronger than Naruto on paper. Half a beast and sage mode shouldn't be much stronger than all the other beasts plus all the sharingan bullshit plus rinnegan. The fight should have ended with Uke on his back and Ruto standing over him victorious, like it ended at the end of SRA but in reverse.
>>283470176Sasuke only got the rinnegan AFTER nearly dying to Madara.
>>283470125>I don't understand why he wears the maskTo prevent girls from raping him on the spot.
>>283470425sasukefag, please
>>283470125He has really bad teeth and Konoha doesn't offer dental coverage.
>>283470151>to stalemate with a Naruto that was holding backAnd Cuckruto need all the chakra from the other half of Kurama + all the nature energy from the whole area in that fight. None of that is his own.
>>283470580the coping and seething is strong with this onesoon you will start dilating
I’m dying of Akatsuki starvation
>>283463316BTFO
>>283464485Same reason as Orochimaru I guess.
>>283464485>Danzo hangs out in the underground ROOT cave all day too and looks normalHashirama cells
>>283469087I like to imagine him as an idiot-savant. not book smart, but can intuit unorthodox strategies that work more often than not. his reverse harem jutsu on Kaguya is the most 'Naruto' thing he does in all of shippuden.
>>283470125it was to hide the second sharingan
>>283465510Yes.
>>283470800Retard
>>283463198>Never pegged youInobros...
>>283470425>He should have been stronger than Naruto on paperIt makes perfect sense on paper. Uchiggers have always been inferior to Chadjus. Madara always jobbed to base Hashirama who was always holding back, they were never equal. Madara jobbed so bad prior to their last fight while alive he felt he needed the literal strongest of the 9 bijuu just to deal with base Hashirama. It's only then does Hashirama stop holding back and finally uses sage mode. >shouldn't be much stronger than all the other beasts After the Indra's arrow clash Sasuke tries to get more of their chakra, which implies didn't have all of their chakra. We saw that just KCM 2 Kurama avatar (without sage mode) was already on par with 5 of the full buuji. So it makes sense that 1 Chadmaki (a Chadju relative), half of Kurama, sage mode, plus the extra natural energy from the entire area, would be stronger than just SOME of the chakra of the other 9 + 1 uchigger. >all the sharingan bullshit The "sharingan bullshit" (susanoo) was already inferior KCM 2 Kurama avatar prior to getting a chakra buff from Hagoromo.>plus rinneganThe rinnegan practically jobbed to 7-tails Kurama in the pain fight.
>>283465072I mean Madara did all kind of shit on himself.
>>283470594>no argumentYeah, that's what I thought.
>>283471268dudes really trash on naruto for having kurama when sasuke and all the other uchiggers need to be descended from literally the most talented guy who ever lived with super magical eyes descended from god's eyes that get powerful with ever more reality hax, even more than the original god eyes, to match the descendants of the shitty younger brother who needed tons of people to train him to reach that point
>>283470618pinkseggs
>>283470425Kurama is simply busted. See the tailed beast bombs clash. Shukaku's bitterness toward Kurama makes sense when you consider how different Kurama is from the rest.
>>283471268Oh...looks like the no-life is back
>>283471312>dudes really trashing on cuckruto for keeping a tormented animal imprisoned inside him as his chakra slave when sasuke and all the other uchiha just use their own powerSure am.
>>283471423>unironic strawmanand you're the type of fag to go for >not an argument
>their own power>a knock off of god grandpa's literal god eyes
>>283471436You're talking to the no-life sasukefaggot anon. Surprised he's even here
>>283471436>still no argumentWhat a shock.

>>283471454Their bloodline. Their power. Mad?
So he’s never been rangebanned at all, what was even the point
>>283471503His Bijuu. His power. Mad?
Does any girl in this series have an actual reason to like Sasuke beyond his looks? Sakura was on his team, but it's not like they ever had any meaningful interactions, and whenever she expressed her crush, he just told her she's annoying. Makes Ino look even worse when she had 0 meaningful interactions with him.
>>283471519nogirls IRL liked sasuke just because of his looksit's almost like kishi was accurate
Naruto, Lee, and Kiba? Ugly as FUARK
>>283471514>His BijuuKurama is his own person. He doesn't belong to Cuckruto
>>283471551kurama isn't even a manit's a chakra construct
>>283471519>Does any girl in this series have an actual reason to like Sasuke beyond his looks?He's strong, has good genes as he's from an elite clan, and he's a good person.
>>283471559>kurama isn't even a manSo? This is a series with talking animals, they sure as fuck count as people.>it's a chakra constructHe was chakra brought to life by Hagoromo. He's sentient being and once again, doesn't belong to Cuckruto.
SAGEruto status?
>>283471527Itachi too
Does Naruto representing yang energy and Sasuke yin energy track? Not in the context of yang/yin release, but with the idea from Chinese philosophy. Yin is passive and receptive in nature right? Sasuke is decently proactive though.
>>283471630shartsuke is a twink solo king victim faggot
>>283471619The Rinnegan was brought about by Hagoromo's birth. The Sharingan and all its equivalents don't belong to the Cuckiggers
EARTH SOLO’D
>>283471630>Sasuke is decently proactive though.Nope.All of his actions are instigated by other people. Vengeance against Itachi? Itachi. Vengeance against the village? Obito. Vengeance against the world? The prior two combined. Sasuke has no ideas of his own.
>>283471592>and he's a good personFor at least 80% of the series, he's not
>>283471505Pretty sure he's been here the entire time, he just hasn't been posting with his persona
>>283471688he saves his rage and seetheposting for the /v/ threads
>>283471656The sharingan is literally part of THEIR bloodline. You being mad at that fact doesn't make it any less true.
>>283471703Kurama is literally part of HIS body. You being mad at that fact doesn't make it any less true.
Naruto and Sasuke should smooch
>>283469087Naruto as a character peaked in chunnin exams. He proved he could fight smart many times and fight to kill like against gaara. I would say if Naruto fought like he did with gaara against Neji, kurama power wouldnt be necessary. But I will give kishi that because he didnt know neji could just rotates and took him by surprise(And Naruto didnt fight to kill Neji). But then since sound 4 it's been humiliation after himiliation, as if Kishi was afraid of making naruto not an underdog anymore.
SHITnata lost
Hiashi won.
>>283471675>Prologue - Land of Waves>Chunin Exams>Tsunade searchHe's good in all of these>Sasuke RetrievalStill good. Wanting to leave the village to avenge your family by killing a mass murderer doesn't make you a bad person. Neither does defending yourself from a gay schizo who wants to break every bone in your body.>Kazekage Rescue MissionHe's good. Never killed anyone when he was with Orochimaru.>Tenchi BridgeStill good. His old schizo friends break into his home. He has every right to defend it from intruders.>Akatsuki SuppressionStill good.>Itachi Pursuit/Battle between brothers Good for most of the arcs. He "killed" two mass murders. But is bad at the end as he attacks Killer B.>Pain invasion >Five Kage Summit>4th shinobi world war Bad person. But becomes good at the very end.So not really 80% of the series.
>>283471709>Kurama is literally part of HIS bodyNo he isn't. He's a separate being that's imprisoned inside him.
>>283464221This. Ino is just normal for 99% of the time we see her.
>>283465171You smell.
>>283471981holy fuck, anon

>>283468492because they're reincarnated near Otsutsuki essentially. that's also why the only ones to surpass them are also reincarnated near Otsutsuki (or, including boruto, actual ones)
>>283467347my first memory ever of anime was walking into my dad's room while he was watching an early ep and Naruto uses sexy jutsui was prepubescent and it horrified me so bad i didn't watch anime at all for the next decade, feeling an unsurmountable revulsion

>>283472310
>>283464782Sasuke himself just told him he couldn't care less about his body being taken as long as he can secure Itachi's head on a platter. Is it self-destructive? Absolutely, but it was also a definite "Get it through your head already, I never needed to be saved for the love of God you actual retard"
>>283463387MY HERO>>283465352Can't blame them. I wouldn't like an MC being obsessed over another character that doesn't give a shit about them for at least 80% of the story
>>283472689I'd say it's more Naruto ceases to be Naruto in Shippuden and becomes retarded ninja jesus
>>283471527>just because of his looksno it was because he was an edgy bad boy they thought they could "fix". kinda like the girls in-universe.
>>283469087Kishi really nailed Sasuke's design, he looks good with multiple palettes.
>>283465148Sakura was pretty consistently called plain throughout the series. as a child her only defining feature was having pretty hair, which she cut. As a teen it's implied she's the least attractive of the Konoha 11 girls. Ino is supposed to be the prettiest and Hinata being the hidden beauty. Tenten being just 'there', leaving Sakura lagging behind.>>283466310he called her ugly when they first met too, before she had said two sentences to the guy. I think he was commenting on her appearance. His interaction with Ino is pretty much the same.
>>283472802there aren't enough pink-haired guys in anime. especially not ones who aren't gag character pussies or traps.
>>283472765because he was good-looking, anon
>>283472824"Sasusaku should've had a pink haired boy" is a pretty common opinion because of that.

My post has traveled back in time spoopy
>>283466682Sakura knows Naruto is so gay that a date doesn't mean anything.
>>283465352Plenty of fics write about a mini-Minato, not Naruto. obvious implications being they fundamentally dont like Naruto's personality, flaws and all ..so lets superimpose his dad in him.
>>283471656>The Rinnegan was brought about by Hagoromo's birthHis mother already had the more complete version, and Momo and Kinshiki too had the rinnegan.
>>283465968>people complain about Toriyama’s female charactersWho does that? People like Bulma, 18 and Videl. Fans tend to shit on Chi Chi a lot for being annoying, but that's mostly the anime's fault.
>>283474287>>283465352Post-timeskip Naruto was so disappointing on every level that most fics are 'correcting' Naruto into being not a 12 year old.

>>283475290it's been ten years anon
>>283471666Going by that then Naruto isn't proactive either, he wants to be Hokage because the village effectively groomed him into wanting attention and wants to rescue Sasuke because he left.
>>283472802>How Sakura would have to look for Kishimoto to write her properly.
>>283475393He's proactively trying to prove them wrong that he has no value but okay.
>>283470125Kakashi wears a mask because he's a person who masks emotionally. I know this is some deep stuff for people.
>>283475206>>283475263Minato is the strong, silent type, like Gary Cooper.Boruto bitches and whines

>>283475646He wants to prove them wrong BECAUSE they made assumptions about him in the first place.
It's a good thing Tsunade couldn't possibly send out an even less competent team to take down Akatsuki members from here on out
>>283476037Nice beards.
>>283476099That's a far cry from grooming him into wanting to be hokage. That would have been as easy as telling him his father was hokage and a hero so he has a lot to live up to.
>>283476037I am Hinatafag, but this is just arguing in bad faith.
>>283476191I was merely using the same logic you used on Sasuke.
>>283475290She was the best girl. And the hero always has the best girl. As shrimple as that.
>>283475290 Blame kishi for not going through with the real cannon ship.>inb4 ooh look salty butthurt shipfag.Originally sakura was supposed to jump in for naruto during the pain arc , hinata got written to it for the studios decision.
>>283477491>jump in for naruto during the pain arc , hinata got written to it for the studios decision.Source?I've heard it was SHIKAMARU who was supposed to jump until editor san said it was better to give Hinata something since she didn't get anything last arc and Shikamaru already had his revenge, but never anything about Sakura.
>>283477491>He unironically believes SP has any control over Kishi

>>283477844Now you're making shit up, Shizunebro.
Little bit of topic question.If all of the tailed beasts are such good wholesome chunguses why did they invoke murderous rage in their jinchurikis and killed people.
>>283479053>of an off topicFix.
>>283479053Because they were BETRAYED and IMPRISONED.Even Kurama spent the previous 950 years chilling around a temple, perhaps interrupted by stints of uppity descendants of Indra conscripting him into conflict but he didn't become a 'concretion of malevolence' until he was treated like a weapon.
>>283476351>best girl>all she ever did was stalk, repeat "naruto-kun" and get her ass beatLol
Hidan! Kakuzu! Please hurry up and save these threads!
>>283479707>Because they were BETRAYED and IMPRISONED.Doesn't really make sense for them to just go around and kill everything in sight for thousand of years because of that, and also just make 180 and become good again.
What if Hidan kissed Temari?
>>283479815>repeat "naruto-kun" and get her ass beatAnd she looked good while doing it.
>>283476137>sends a bunch of genin to retrieve the last Sharingan user>Kakashi disobeys her direct orders and goes after him>the Vilage gets flattened on Tsunade's watch
>>283479922The tailed beasts didn't go around killing for a thousand years, jinchuriki didn't exist between Hagoromo and Mito Uzumaki which was about a thousand year period. The beasts have their preferred habitat and just vibe there.

imagine still seething about losing the shipping war for 11 straight years. I should say 15+ years, it was over during the fake confession chapter.
>>283482264Reminds me of Lady GT from way back
>>283477559>ShikamaruKishi needed to get over this fucking character. He already had him be the one who cheered Naruto up after Jiraiya died even though I think Sakura or Hinata would've been better characters for that since the former is supposed to be a close friend of his and the latter is supposed to be his love-interest. But NAH, let the self-insert talk to the other self-insert.
>>283483787That's her. She drew that. I think she designed some official figures for this series from what I've heard. Don't know if that's recent or not.
>>283484092Shika is a case study in how to ruin a cool character with overexposure/forced wanking. The second he got the Chuunin vest it was over for him.

Hiashi and naruto won !!
All shipping should be resolved with age gap couples.

>>283477491>>283477559I heard it was Kiba
>>283477845Naruto looks so out of character there
>>283479707>Even Kurama spent the previous 950 years chilling around a templeThat's not stated anywhere in the manga
Do Naruto's kids with Hinata at least get to do cool things with the Byakugan? Would've been the perfect opportunity to give the Byakugan some love, but from what I've heard it still sounds neglected.
>>283480876>source: my ass
>>283486767Agegap verse>Naruto x Konan>Sasuke x Kushina>Sakura x Kakashi>Shikamaru x Kurenai
>>283487837Himawari has it (and does nothing with it) and Boruto has a new eye that pretty much does nothing since he relies on otsutsuki hacks. Also Himawari is the reincarnation of Kurama now since he respawned inside of her after naruto used Baryon mode so that means she's probably never gonna use the byakugan ever again lmao
>>283477491Pinkshitters are funny. It's been ages.
>>283487262The anime is still very popular over 20 years later at leastIt may be *timeless* as far as the 21st century goes but who knows if people will still be watching 200 year old anime in the year 2200
>>283482912Have you tried not being retarded?
>>283488028more like crackship verse
>>283486915Ohhh, it's the nitpicker anon
>>283488072The jogan isn't canon to the manga.
>>283488150It'd be funny if nothing better comes out from now until 2200. It's not looking so hot for Shonen Jump once One Piece ends, and though I don't keep up with nu-Shonen manga, they don't seem to have the staying power of Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece. Maybe if Horikoshi works with a good writer, he has the artistic talent necessary for a new smash hit.
>>283488028>All the women listed have a K in their names.
>>283488150Ah yes, the good ol'>popular means it's goodJust remember, sheep go "baah"
>>283482264>someone made fanficanonOkay
>>283488250The era of long-running shounen is pretty much over. Even weekly anime is dying off.
>>283482264Looking at this emulation of Kishimoto's style, it made my realize if AI gets far enough, you can probably have the Boruto manga go through a filter and have it redrawn/traced to match Kishimoto's art.Although, I know for a fact there would be massive backlash and controversy from how absolutely disrespectful that would be.
>>283477845Based animator. Poor guy....
>>283481119How do people call Sakura useless when this bitch exists?
>>283488409Shizune doesn't constantly show up to waste time.
>>283488319Why is that?
>>283488409Still not as bad as her
>>283488269>popular means it's goodCorrect. That is in fact what popular means.
>>283470618>Where do you train?>At the library
>>283488409Remember chapters ago when Tsunade said Shizune was one of the people she trusted only to find out Shizune snitched to the elders? Lmao.
>>283488150Third world shitholes keeping it alive.
>>283463473Literally snake roids, then
>>283488457>only gets one fight ever>she jobs in it to a uchigger>does nothing the rest of the seriesWhy did Kishi hate her so much?
>>283488441Hard to maintain.
>>283487679I just feel like it will.
>>283463492For some reason I thought the rasenshuriken training came way later into Shippuden
>>283465072Honestly, that explains the stuff about Sasuke blowing up their hideouts. Sasuke only comes off as normal when he fully intends to betray Orochimaru and leaves Sound. He's officially off the roids then.
>>283477845See, this is cute, and I can't deny that Naruto and Hinata look really good together but with the way the manga went, their pairing in the end just sucks so fucking bad. Their interactions across the entire fucking manga can be counted on one hand and Naruto has never shown even the slightest bit of interest towards her. Not to mention he was still into Sakura even during the war arc. Kishi said (lied) that he intended that ship from the start but that he'd put NaruSaku to make people guess but that's completely bullshit since there was literally no NaruHina moments that could even hint towards romance. The only thing worth mentioning is her confession during Pain arc and Naruto completely ignored it afterwards, as if it never even happened. If Kishi really wanted NaruHina in the end, there were plenty of moments where he could write in hints towards it. Plenty of chances to create meaningful interactions between then that show Naruto's interest in her growing and the two of them getting closer but no, none of that ever happened. It was all relegated to some bullshit movie with dogshit reasoning as if that somehow makes it all right after 699 chapters of nothing.
>>283488568It's probably because there is a filler arc right after the Tenchi Bridge one in the anime.
>>283463519>except punch harderSome of the older games have to make shit up for her because before Part 2, she had literally nothing to use. And then all she gets later is hulk smash tier. So damm boring. He quite literally didn't bother with her.
>>283463736>it doesn’t even seem like Sasuke actually did any drug/forbidden jutsu stuffCome on dude, he was under Orochimaru (the mad scientist who experimented so much on himself to the point of becoming a giant immortal snake) and Kabuto (who basically did the same thing later). Sasuke is willing to do anything to become stronger and kill Itachi. Later he becomes a snakeman himself. I think assuming he roids is fair.
>>283488488This disloyal useless cunt should've stayed dead.
>>283488641I mean, they had to make up shit for Ino too since Mind-Transfer isn't suited for a character in a fighting game.
>>283488516If they're Kabuto's wouldn't they be dragon roids?
>>283488605You don't seem to understand. He planned them getting together and not how they'd get together. He didn't wanna waste time on that type of stuff.
>>283488682Yea, but at least that's something the game uses, too. It's almost impressive how little he cared.
>>283488605
>>283488526>>does nothing the rest of the seriesHey, she had unprotected creampie sex with Asuma
>>283488731Kishi kept teasing genjutsu with Sakura before going "Nevermind" and then there are those covers with Sakur wielding an axe which never made into any media in this franchise.
>>283465752>this is when the rest of the Team would begin to lose their relevance to future fights>Except Kakashi somehowKakashi is implied to be this washed up supergenius that picks up again his training after some inflection points during the story. Not saying it's a good plot point or something like that, but at least it's a consistent theme with him since reeeeally early on
>>283488797Never got why the series never made a bigger deal about Asuma being Hiruzen's kid.
>>283488811Yea, lol. Those covers with the various weapons were cool. I think Shinobi Strikers uses some of those, but I could be hallucinating, lol.
>>283488811He never let go of the axe idea for some reason
>>283488853I spent a long time not even knowing he was the 3rd Hokage's son when I got into this series.
>>283488868There's enough fanart of Sakura as an axe wielder that it feels like people are gaslighting themselves into believing her toolkit is deeper than punching and kunai.
>>283481119Amazing genetics. In some picks she's almost the same age as Tsunade in Naruto Part 1 and she still looks young. Doesn't even need Plastic Surgery Ninjutsu like Tsunade.
>>283488914It should've been deeper than punching and kunai. I think the Storm games had the Part I version of her use traps.
>>283488860>Those covers with the various weapons were coolIf there's ever an anime remake I want them to make the cast use a wider variety of ninja weapons.
>>283488472Baa baa baa
>>283488914thats not even fanart, kishi drew that for the popularity contest a few years back
>>283488250>they don't seem to have the staying power of Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece. Before thread dies, my personal theory is that licensed vidya for shonen IPs have gotten too expensive to churn out games that would basically take permanent space in peoples’ brains Like DB and Naruto I believe benefitted massively from being IPs from decades ago where you could shit out a cheap game like Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and basically get you permanent fans for life
>>283489004Keep crying
>>283488984The axe literally has Sakuras name on it for some reason
>>283489059While your shit taste is abhorrent, it's not worth crying over, for me. Sorry.
>>283488984>Sakura's name is written on that axe Naruto has in that pic, further cementing it as Sakura's signature weapon to Kishi.It's so fucking bizarre. Just put it in the fucking manga, nigga!
>>283489107Liking Naruto is patrician taste.
>>283489051It's not even just licensing. Games in general are more expensive to develop than they were in the past. Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, and even Bleach are just big enough to have faith in people buying. Although, My Hero Academia seems to be getting games too. So it looks to be in the "safe" territory too where there is confidence in an audience buying it to cover the cost.
>>283489155Nah
>>283488700Ah yes, he didn't want to waste time on one of the more important build ups when it comes to the ending but he did wanna waste time teasing something he didn't plan on ending with. Totally makes sense yeah. >>283488767What in the fuck?
>>283489243Why you in our threads if you hate the series schizo?
>>283488947A shame that some of the stuff other characters only utilize once could be utilized by Sakura far better. >Tenten's giant bomb mace>Kotetsu's transforming shell hammer>Kamui dimension gigantic shuriken
>>283489253>Ah yes, he didn't want to waste time on one of the more important build ups when it comes to the ending but he did wanna waste time teasing something he didn't plan on ending with. Totally makes sense yeah.It was a joke, boy.
>>283489253It wasn't important. That's the point. Kishi didn't prioritize romance in a battle manga. So he just came up with the end result. If you ever believed anything involving Sakura (a character he considered to be Kiba/Shikamaru tier), then you read the wrong manga.
>>283489374Kiba and Shikamaru aren't even in the same tier.
>>283489407Kishi thinks they are. And that she's with them.
Kill yourself pinkshitter. You lost.
That music…
>>283489430If Kishi actually thought that, he would've given Kiba his own arc.
>>283489443When hundreds of years pass we will see a Naruto remake with NaruSaku ship, mark my words.
>>283489334Ah I see it now. My brain is lagging, my bad. >>283489374If it wasn't important then he wouldn't spend any time teasing NaruSaku. At all. But he did, he said so himself, so I guess it was somewhat important. Bottom line is his writing on that was shit and there's nothing that can change that. Saying "it wasn't important" other than being untrue is also pointless because it doesn't mean it's written any better.
>>283489486He gave him something to do in Part 1. I'd say they're pretty even. Shikamaru is at the top of the tier.
>>283488641>Genjutsu move with Inner Sakura crushing her opponents>"this faery tale is for real!"
>>283489566>He gave him something to do in Part 1.You better not be bringing up the JOBkon "fight".
>>283489582Does inner Sakura appear at all in part 2?
>>283489609I think once during the war arc. maybe I'm misremembering
>>283482264>Naruto confessing to SakuraWhat value would a confession like that have if Naruto's crush on her was crystal clear from the get go?
>>283489716He literally said he threw in some narusaku nuggets while never doing the same for naruhina lol. So yes, he said so himself, you haven't disproven shit.
>>283489551He did. And then said it was just to make things interesting. He literally says it was always about those two getting together. Not Sakura. I'm baffled that you think anything involving Sakura would be given any sort of priority status within the story.
>>283489716>Throw in some nuggetsYeah like Naruto always trying to hit on her and openly admitting that he wants her to be his girlfriend while also having a lot more interactions of Sakura and Naruto than Hinata and Naruto. Nice nuggets, man.
>>283488457Kurenai was at least praised while getting beaten and had an eh... "emotional" scene grieving Asuma's death.Shizune has nothing outside of her looks and Kurenai also has those.
>>283488605Why does the concept of an author wanting a pair together that also doesn't care enough to shove it everyone in the story fails to go through your head?
>>283489849>while never doing the same for naruhinaWhy would he need to do that when he didn't care how they'd end up together. It was already set. >>283489905>lot more interactionsThey're on the same team. Of course, that would happen. NaruSaku was a delusional pipeddream propped up by retarded fangirls.
I just think that Kishimoto doesn't know how human interactions and relationships work, that's why romance or any kind of relationship for that matter are so badly written.
>>283489905>having a lot more interactions of Sakura and NarutoShit ones.
>>283489859If that was his intention then he would have thrown in some naruhina nuggets to balance it out and really make it so the fans had something to think about. But he didn't. And that's why it's bullshit. >"Oh I'm gonna have these two marry in the end but I'll never have them interact in a romantic way and the MC won't give two shits about her while constantly crushing on another girl with whom he has tons more screen time."I'm baffled you can see this as clear as day and think it makes even the slightest bit of sense, even more baffled that you can defend this shit.
>>283489253ACTUAL romance, not fujo teasing, is not important to the story.
>>283489984That's just a bad writing. If he wanted to do it he should've made some sort of set up for this.
>>283489984Sakurafags have literal decades believe that there's a giant conspiracy against the character. It reeks of early 2000s first anime syndrome. It's why that community segregated itself from the rest. >>283490016>balance it out No need. He gave them some moments and called it a day. Simple.
>>283489430>>283489486The point was that Sakura was a side character in comparison to the rest of Team 7, that's what he meant.Kiba and Shikamaru were just the names that came to his head.
>>283489984If he is so against shoving anything then he wouldn't be teasing narusaku the whole time. How does that not go through your headm>>283489989Because that would make it good writing and would actually make sense for them to end up together. You can't just say "oh they'll end up together" then proceed to tease a completely different pairing for the whole manga. Just because it was already set (which it wasn't and he's totally lying about it) doesn't mean you can just not develop it AT ALL THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE STORY.
>>283490053>No need. He gave them some moments and called it a day. Simple.There actually was a need if he didn't want anyone with half a brain to see how dogshit writing that was and how the final chapter feels completely tacked on with the pairing.
>>283490046Not everything needs to be explained in extreme detail. Especially when it's not relevant to the story.>>283490058Yea. Really, if she didn't appear as much, she wouldn't be so hated. >>283490078>tease a completely different pairing for the whole manga. Except that didn't happen. What did happen was Sakuras' continued love for Sasuke. >tease a completely different pairing for the whole manga.>>283490104Considering only you sakurafags had your bubble burst, I'd say he did alright. Next time, try to keep your autism in check.
>>283490000Ok pinkshitter.
>t.sakurafags itt
>>283489989>Why would he need to do that when he didn't care how they'd end up together. It was already set.And? What kind of logic is that? If an author is set on something and doesn't make any logical build up to the thing he wants to set up, that means he is a shit writer.
>>283463316Holy fuck Sakura is mogging him hard the last two chapters.I've never seen these chapters before, I never knew Naruto himself was THIS bad.>>283463370Nice hair. And translation.>>283463387Still nicer than /a's nickname for her.>>283463408>>283463427haha physical abuse is very funny as long as the girl is doing all the hitting, admit it you gave it a warm chuckle>>283463473What did Sasuke do to make them think that? He used an AoE chidori that could barely stun them, and a chidori sword that got BTFO'd by wood release. Orochimaru doesn't want him because he's jacked, he wants him for the sharingan, and the only reason he doesn't just take it out of his eyes is because Sasuke's body is compatible and won't lose chakra as fast.
>>283490046>That's bad writingWe're talking about Kishimoto, a guy who throws shit at the wall to see if it sticks, Drops plot lines and concepts, and would rather troll his audience over making a better story.
>>283490078>he wouldn't be teasing narusaku the whole time.The entire point of the tease is that it wasn't actually real.
>>283490138>not relevant to the storyWhat is actually relevant to the story then? It's not like these are some side characters, these are the main characters and in my opinion their relationships with each other are relevant.
>>283490169>decides a thing will happen>decides to not focus heavily on it due to it not being importantWhat are you not getting. Both romance and Sakura were not important enough to jusify that effort. Combine both, and it's super not important enough. Get over it already.
