Volume 37Akatsuki Suppression MissionChapter 335: The Fearsome Secret!!Previous chapter: >>284005448Start: 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.
>>284026800Kakashi gassing out after 30 seconds of fighting as usual
>>284026887Finally Ino is going to do somethi->>284026908...
>>284026865>immortal duoKakuzu isn't really immortal, he just has 4 extra lives.
>>284026939>>284026908How fucking DARE a woman think to do something in Shikarmaru's world.
>>284026933High IQ teamwork
>>284026763>even the three jobbers that were statues about to die a second earlier can easily dodge the fire releaseTruly the jobber style.
I found this while browsing the online web.
>>284026933Man, despite all the constant glazing, Shikamaru really comes off as a massive retard. He brings both Choji and Ino along to fight Asuma's killers only to tell them that they're actually useless, and if it weren't for Kakashi his whole team would've probably gotten killed by now.
>>284026759EARLY
>>284026763Why is Kishimoto unable to make fire useful?
>>284026865Just having the heart of a shinobi and planting it into what’s essentially an automaton is enough to acquire their chakra element and jutsu?
>>284026933Hidan, you know that you can just attack them, right?>>284026908>I'll just use my jutsu and move him really far awayRember Shikamaru was literally unable to hold Hidan any longer in the last chapter and used all his chakra to move him half a meter in their last fight.
>>284026989>>284027064It is extremely hilarious how the one time a fire technique actually managed to land and do damage was when it only hurt the user a few chapters ago in the Asuma vs Hidan fight.
>>284026759>>284026763I remember this fire style having a really convoluted name in some translations.
>>284026944But Kakuzu seems to have the longevity aspect of immortality while Hidan may die of old age, though idk if he does age.
>>284027106And even in that case it was a direct hit that resulted in some light burns on the arm.
>>284027112>>284027132>Shikamaru literally just speed blitzes
>>284026865Why doesn't he have more hearts then?Does he always lose hearts in random fights or is he picky when choosing them?
>>284027082Kakuzu doesn't aquire their jutsu. Just the inherent nature of their chakra which seems to be connected to the heart in the chakra system. I wonder if he would acquire bloodline limits with the right hearts.
>>284027112>>284027132Holy cringe. Hidan should have reacted to to this
>>284026908It looks like this wasn't the first time Shika denied Ino of doing something.
>>284027185Probably the jutsu is limited to 4 extra hearts for some reason.>>284027196Shikamaru should've been dead the moment he goes into melee against Hidan.
>>284026908Kek. A woman must know her place.
>>284026908>>284026933What was the point of bring these two again?Reminder that Shikamaru only had those two as back up initially.
>>284026908I know this is a common trope but why are these two clowns letting them plan things out?
>>284027269They're literally waiting for Shikamaru to attack them, while complaining about wanting to fight.
>>284027106>>284027151And even then, it looked like Asuma got more burns than Hidan.>>284027112BULL SHIT
>>284027269Yea, none of their plans would work out if Hidan and Kakuzu kept attacking. Hell, Hidan should have mounted one of the masks for extra mobility.
>>284026779>>284026800For someone who is supposed to be the "slowest" Akatsuki member, Hidan is sure able to keep up with Kakashi.
this is like dracula and frankenstein
>>284026865>you mean in order to take him down permanently we need to destroy four more hearts?can't you just, like, cut his throat or something?
sooo started borutoleft a qt
>>284027115Kishimoto himself just named it after the Z'gok and applied kanji to it after its actually a word in Tominoese.
>>284027022Most unrealistic part is probably Kakashi "offscreen" holding off Kakuzu alone while surrounded kek
>>284026908The face of a woman who's been reminded of her place.
>>284027369also a gothic loli in the backgroundin narutoyes, a gothic loli in naruto
>>284026908>>284026933No seriously, what the hell is going on, Shikamaru brought along those two just to stop them from doing anything and decide he will be the only one to fight? Did he really think he would autowin with the initial trick?
>>284027369Bro, the big booty chocolate is right there
>>284027344He also managed to land a hit on Asuma in one exchange while dodging Shikamarus shadow at the same time. I get that Kishi wanted him to be intriuging with that comment, but it makes zero sense.
Why do Shikamaru and Kakashi claim their nearly out of Chakra then are able to just continue as normal
>>284027099>Hidan, you know that you can just attack them, right? He can't. It's not his turn yet.
so this is the girls gang huh?the orange girl, there is something familiar about her...think it was the 2nd chuuni exam filler in the sand village?? idk...
>>284027106I would bring up Kashin Koji killing Jigen with fire, but that was a summoning technique, not fire release.
>>284027112>>284027132You know this buff was out of nowhere because it never comes up again.
>>284027386Kishimoto had to offscreen it because he knew there was no way to explain how.
>>284026759kill yourself narutard
>>284027409starting to think shikamaru prepared this as a glorified suicide-mission beforehand and it's only with kakashi that he realized "hey wait, we might be able to actually win this"
>>284026933Shikamaru is just being selfish and wants to take down Hidan personally for revenge.
>>284027411jokes aside, you know what, i thought i was gonna dislike herchocolate fattie blerghbut so far she seems like a nice reasonable girl. an easy going girl so far, I appreciate that
>>284026964>thinks in scary font
>>284027424It looked like Shikamaru got a senzai bean from Kakashi. Which raises the question why those are not used in every fucking fight.>>284027352It's a bit weird how they work. Initially it seems like just every time Kakuzu would die one of the masks dies instead. But then Naruto hits him and he instantly loses 3 hearts at once. People explain it with rasenshuriken working at the atomic level or something, but I don't see why that would be relevant.
>>284027132Where did he make the handseal
>>284027386Actually really funny, how he jumps in the middle of them all to make it seem like they have to focus on him and one couldn't just oneshot Shikamaru.
>TFW i hate Shikamaru so much that i can't enjoy fics where he's a prominent character.The storytime ruined me.
>>284027132And here Kishimoto shows perfectly the problem with shadow possession, even without him changing his shadow's shape it's simply autowinning every melee fight you get in, as you make contact, or the opponent simply stands too close to you, he is victim of the jutsu, and if you aren't a drooling moron you can easily win the moment you hit the opponent with it.He pretends Hidan is too dangerous because if he scratches you he can make his ritual, but his own jutsu is far more unfair.Thank you OP.
oooo, who's that DEMON in the right??
See ya tomorrow, anons.
Why does Hidan jump up the fucking tree in the first place, instead of just staying grounded and keeping control?>>284027553Yeah, the jutsu is completely broken.
>>284027461Sasuke's Shinju clone straight up killed a random guy with fire jutsu.
>>284027628>a random guyNot very impressive, is it?
How is Shikamaru so fucking fast?
>>284027665Kishi wants to marry him.
>>284026908Why is Ino even here?
I'm tired of you guys shitting on Kishimoto. You wouldn't write a manga half as good as he did under those time constraints. Sasukefag and proud Indian btw
>>284027693To find the people that were coming to them anyway of course
>>284027045>Shikamaru can just infinitely extend his shadow jutsu by constantly throwing a kunai and using its shadowThis feels really op. >>284027132Like, you didn't even need to have him do this here. You could have actually made Choji or Ino be useful by having them be ones to distract Hidan.
>>284027022I want to stick my hand into that halter top
>>284027739Not as op as the fact that for how it works using it at night would be completely invincible
>>284027434no reallyyum
>>284027739It's real fucking shitty how Kishimoto is shafting and downplaying other characters just to make Shikamaru shine.
>>284027739Shikamaru literally said that he didn't want to risk drawing blood from them. Read the manga
>>284027596>>284027568>>284027132Arigatou, OUR LEADER!
>>284027344All it means is that the rest of the Akatsuki are even more impressive. All of these dudes are Elite Jounin/Kage tier minimum.
>>284027857Of course Shikamaru attacking him in melee has a way lower risk of having his blood taken than an actual taijutsu specialist.
>>284027857Why have them in the fight if they're seen as that incompetent to not avoid Hidan getting their blood? Are Shikamaru and Kakashi the only ones with skills here?
>>284026800>>284027344Their teamwork sure is good for 2 guys who cant stand each other - When did they find time to practice this stuff
>>284027693To show off her tummy.
>>284027863Sasori got caught by Sakura running at him from across the room.
>>284027882Yes.
>>284027892Sakura has Kage-level speed is what that means.
>>284027705Kishis writing really is ass.But he is good at coming up with creative abilities and entertaining characters (mostly Akatsuki) and also someties giving the illusion of depth.
>>284027914Omoi should've been the next Raikage and not Darui then.
>>284027889>can't stand each otherDon't you know their both tsundere
>>284027938Darui was just nepotism because he was A's right-hand man. He's even the first Raikage not having the name "A".
>>284027889Seems they're fighting a lot, because Kakuzu has to single handedly manage Akatsukis finances by collecting bounties (but nobody knows about him).
>>284027082Bro they can switch eyeballs and acquire kekei genkai eyehacks
>>284027369hmmm
>>284027369kill yourself
>>284027932Honestly once I accepted that I was able to enjoy Naruto more than when I did years prior fighting against everyone claiming it's bad or that other works are better.Naruto simply doesn't have good writing and that's ok. Naruto as a character especially got a huge downgrade from his part 1 self and I'm tired of pretending his relationship with Sasuke was normal in any sense.
>>284028018This. When I realized the writing wasn't very good, but still enjoyed the series anyway, it became way easier to read and watch.
>>284027399>te]>>284027411>>284027434>>284027993kill yourself
>>284026908I think Ino could have beat Hidan
>>284028018Naruto is magical because everyone experiences it differently. Because of the games and the anime and how drastically diverge but then always return to the main path you end up with this phenomenon where everyone ends up watching a different series.
>>284028018>Naruto as a character especially got a huge downgrade from his part 1Naruto was an annoying faggot in part 1.
>>284027628Yes, and I think Koji killed someone with his true Samadhi flame, I was being hyperbolic, because yes, some random mook dies to fire, like the anbu touching the barrier of the sound four.
>>284027392Its Inover...
>>284028108Ino could beat any man.
>>284027705>you guysIt's literally just one schizo.
>>284028108This would have taken Hidans head clean off again
>>284028193Its al least a few people that range from blind hate to being critical of it all in hindsight
>>284028129The manga, games, and anime experience aren't that fundamentally different from each other, the biggest difference being the quality of the fights, but they all hit the same beats, except for what if scenarios like in the games.
>>284028134And he got worse in 2.
I would gladly trade Deidara and Sasori for Hidan and Kakuzu to live longer.
>>284028206I'm sure Hidan would just grab her leg
>>284027269Maybe Kakuzu needs a moment to recharge after popping all those big jutsus, the real question is why the masks aren't doing anything right now, maybe they have 30 second cooldowns or something
>>284028270So he could get better a whiff before conceding
>>284028297The masks are not doing anything for the same reason the fight keeps stopping, Kishimoto needs to have Shikamaru explain everything for some reason.
Brehs...they're so wholesome together
>>284028134He was an annoying faggot who actually had personal goals, aspirations and relationships with people other than Sasuke. Honestly a surprising experience for me was reading p1 again and seeing that Naruto didn't actually think that much about Sasuke and was having his own beefs and subplots independent from him and Sasuke actually showed more interest in Naruto the way he was getting jealous of him , went after Itachi to protect him and wanted to fight him on the hospital's roof. In Shippuden Sasuke becomes Naruto's first and last goal. Fuck becoming a hokage he literally tells him that he's ready to die with him and maybe they'll be reborn in a better place.
>>284028331That would hopefully teach her a lesson
>>284028363Could you take them 2 on 1? be honest
>>284027269It's like a JRPG. It's Shikamaru and his party's turn to select their next move.
>>284028408Nope, I'd get washed>t. Jiraiya
>>284026908I knew what I was getting into with this storytime going into shippuden but it really is jawdropping how slipshod the writing is now. Choji and Ino had way more agency in the Dedicated Tournament Arc than they do in the story about their master’s murder.
>>284028408They defeated a sexy perfect jinchuriki. What hope do I have?
>>284028408I would be killed but I would like it
>>284028466Because Kishimoto can't help but give his self-insert the spotlight. Shikamaru seems like the only one on the team Asuma actually had a relationship with to make this feel personal.
>>284027434>>284027592oh muh...
>>284026908Ino should have learned....ANYTHING after the timeskip. Her kit is the same with the same weaknesses. A summon would be great for her.
>>284028586Kishimoto should've imported the Flower Bombs from the Storm games for Ino.
>>284027112300 Giga iq genius.
>>284028586>>284028629Or become a taijutsu master. Maybe even learn the air blades from Asuma.
>>284028246Pain and War arc Naruto mogs that annoying faggot from part 1.>>284028370>had personal goals, aspirations and relationships with people other than SasukeWhich he still has in part 2 (wanting to be hokage, wanting to combat the hatred of the world, relationships with sakura, sai, kakashi, jiraiya, killer bee). You projecting your faggotry on him doesn't change that.
>>284028408In bed?
Shikamarus giga smart iq used to outsmart a guy who probably can't read
>>284028684>Pain and War arc Naruto mogs that annoying faggot from part 1NPC opinion
>>284028713
>>284028702... by punching him and instawinning when he blocks.
>>284028757Where did i say i hated anything?
>>284027112Cocky punk
>>284028851Tayuya should've killed him.
>>284028684>relationships with sakura.Kishi you fuckwit could’ve made theese two fuck or something
>>284028757Ask the average Narutofag why Pain arc or pain arc Naruto was amazing without mentioning:>His entrance >His fit>"He felt like the MC again!">Aura
How would Shino deal with the immortal duo?
So what was Shikamaru's original plan to take on Hidan and Kakuzu with just Team 10?
>>284027553How is hidan supposed to hit shikamaru without coming in contact with his shadow? it's already established he can extend his shadow through the shadows of objects so it just turns hidan's own weapon into shikamaru's.
>>284027168>>284027196>>284027231Shikamaru is just faster than that jobber. Get over it.
>>284028985Having his stand Kishi behind his back to bend reality to his will
>>284028985Shadow possession why Ino and Choji meat shield him.
>>284028998Then why did he lose in their first encounter?>>284029007*while
>>284028992That's what I'm saying, that's the truth Kishi tried to hide by making Shikamaru fight ranged combatant till now, shadow possession is almost impossible to fight in melee, and the nara clan should be recognized as a nigh-invincible powerhouse.
>>284028940And they'll tell you about his Naruto's character growth and his relationship with Nagato at the end.
>>284028867Is it true Kishimoto based Sakura on his wife, since his wife had a strong personality like Sakura and the looks
>>284026908kishi....
>>284029025>Then why did he lose in their first encounter?Hidan got decapitated in the first encounter lmao
Shikamaru dodged a building tier punch from Kakuzu in the first fight, not impossible to think he could just do that here
>>284029041>Kishi marries a woman like Sakura>Oda marries a Nami cosplayerDid Kubo marry someone like Rukia?
>>284026779I remember this part being pretty cool in the anime. Why does Kishi hate drawing fights so much?
>>284028586It might be bad for Ino if she mindswaps Hidan and Kakuzu just kwabs him
>>284029041Why did Kishimoto have the character based on his wife marry the character based on his twin brother?
>>284026800>Gassed out Kakashi is able to keep up with Hidan flawlessly>SHITSuma jobs immediatelyAt least Hidan had some cool panels against Asuma.
There wasn't enough time to ask last thread, butWho is the strongest character Ino using Kunoichi tactics of deception/flirtation could defeat?Defeat as in either kill or subdue.
>>284028586>Ino should have learned....ANYTHING after the timeskipShe learned medical ninjutsu and in the war arc she shows off some new mind abilities
>>284029074That was also retarded though. Shikamaru is supposed to be sub par physically and make it up with his intelligence.
>>284028981AIIIIIIEEEEE Konan help tasuketeeeee
>>284029220How is this related to Shino?
>>284029209>Who is the strongest character Ino using Kunoichi tactics of deception/flirtation could defeat?Tenten
>>284029074It's just jarring that Shikamaru's speed is never remarked on. It looks Lee-tier.
>>284029209Jiraya
>>284027369I really don't like to engage bortfags but Choji's daughter is pure sex
>>284029209Sakon/Ukon
>>284029220Jiraya fucked this btw.
>>284029267>my 500 iq has allowed me to deduce...>I'll be faster in combat if I open the gates, which will be an advantage
>>284029220Did Konan get piercings out of solidarity for Yahiko's body getting piercings or is she just into it herself?
>>284029239Hidan/Kakuzu call for help because Shino is unstoppable
>>284029209Hashirama
>>284026908>I have the most chakra right now, I won't be useful against Kakazu, and I have a strategy against Hid->NO>You're a WOMANTruly Kishi's self insert
>>284029036>Character growthNot succumbing to revenge?>NagatoWhat relationship?
>>284029318I see... I feel like Konan wouldn't be their first choice when calling for help though.
>>284029055Yeah, in a 4v1.
>>284029209Naruto defeated Hiruzen with the sexy jutsu so him
>>284029273>Mentally ill with angry issues>Men>Most likely gayNo way Ino is defeating them.
>>284029295Jiraiya died a virgin.>>284029036>Average Narutofag>Caring about that
>>284029411mindtranser sakon and have him chop ukons head off
>>284029457Ino isn't allowed to defeat a man even if she's using a male body to do it.
If Kishimoto was based
>>284029370>YeahGlad you admit you were wrong.
>>284028684>Which he still has in part 2 (wanting to be hokageI literally mention his encounter with Sasuke saying he's ready to die with him and be reborn together. That's not someone who wants to be a hokage talks , he's explicitly putting Sasuke above everything else. >wanting to combat the hatred of the worldSo did everyone else and like everyone else he didn't actually have a coherent ideology nor a solution. It was purely might makes right in his case. >relationships with sakura, sai, kakashi, jiraiya, killer bee). You projecting your faggotry on him doesn't change that.I'm so glad you brought this up.>Sakura A relationship built around Sasuke and nothing but Sasuke, even in her fake confession she couldn't actually come up with anything she likes about Naruto that isn't related to his rising popularity in the village and changing status.>Kakashi Non existent.>Sai Again built around Sasuke or him supposedly taking his place and he gets abandoned anyways once everything is settled.>Jiraya I'm not sure what to even say here. From the beginning of Shippuden till jiraya's fight with pain they interact maybe twice. Jiraya was a horrible mentor to Naruto.Point is that Naruto's eng goal in part 2 is Sasuke, everyone you mentioned were just people helping him get there, Kakashi helping Naruto train doesn't cancel out the fact that Naruto was mainly thinking about Sasuke while he was training.When he was interacting with sai , it was about him being mad that sai is taking Sasuke's place.When he was interacting with Sakura it was about their shared goal to get Sasuke back When Naruto is put in a position where Sasuke isn't the main focus like his arc against pain his arc literally ends with him having nothing of substance to say or any idea what to do and we just cut back to the kage summit arc where Naruto says this.He was all giggling and smiling thinking about dying with Sasuke and being reborn with him
>>284029272....yeah, 5 episodes in... cant deny itcant lie to myself
>>284029435>Caring about thatIt's one of the reasons why it's a popular arc so yeah.
>>284029273That makes zero sense since she has to deal with the other consciousness in the body if she mind transfers
>>284029687>So did everyone elseIncluding him.>I'm so glad you brought this up.I know, because it proves you wrong. He also became bros with Kurama too.
>>284029687Worst mc fr
>>284029800Who is saying "yes" and "no" with Hidan and Kakuzu?
>>284029643Lol, lmao.
>>284029726Mentioned that in a passing is there to make them sound smart, the average shounen consumer, let alone Narutofag, doesn't actually care about that.
>>284028862She was robbed
>>284030234Many such cases.
>>284029726I have NEVER seen people bring up Naruto and Nagato's final talk in a positive light unless it's in retaliation from people shitting on it.
>>284029767It makes about as much sense as Sakon/Ukons jutsuI guess maybe Ino gets a bad case of phantom limb syndrome
>>284030317I thought it was actually good, besides Nagato doing the mass resurrection.
>>284029800
>>284027082Clearly yes since we already saw that with Sasori.Not quite what Kakuzu does though.
>>284026908But Shikamaru can still shadow bind first as per usual, but then allow Ino to do the mind transfer, and this leaves him free to deal with the other guy.Why not go with Ino's idea? Is it because she's a chick?
Could OUR hokage beat the immortal duo?
>>284029767Considering how Kishi likes to make techniques useless and ape Toriyama, i bet even if Ino could mind swap with someone strong and not get will powered out of it, Kishi would pull out:>It's not your body so you don't get to use the full extent of it.And have Ino job Immediately.
>>284026759The fact that Kakuzu uses Fire Style doesn't matter even one bit. It's still the same energy ball shit.>>284026779Lol. DRAW THE FUCKING FIGHT KISHIMOTO. Fucking piece of shit 0/10 mangaka.
>>284026800God this is so bad. All they did was>shoot through immortal Hidan>shoot once, Hidan pursues at the same timeThis doesn't deserve this reaction. I fucking hate how Kishimoto wanks EVERYTHING. He can't actually show "incredibly smooth and seamless teamwork", so he draws something basic and has the cheerleader bitch gasp at it.Same goes for Shikamaru's 500 IQ.
>>284026887Ear still wounded
>>284030571My Hokage is Hiruzen
>>284028675I'm starting to think Genin Ino would beat Hidan in hand to hand
I listened to that anon and watched episode 85, yeah it was a good episode. Nice to know Hidan and Kakuzu got some love from the anime team during their 5 minutes of fame.
>>284030991Someone who couldn't beat Genin Sakura will beat Hidan?
>>284029295low diffed*
>>284027045>Fap
>>284031269She just drained all her chakra with the mind transfer jutsu.
>>284031142If you have the time give the whole arc a watch. I think they made the first fight more stupid but the second one was improved
>>284031573Thats not why she lost to Sakura. Sakura had multiple personalities so even tho Ino DID land her bullshit, Sakura's inner retard beat the fuck out of her, forcing her to release it so they ended up in a brawl.
>>284031737Just saying if she stuck to the brawl instead of wasting chakra on useless mind transfer she'd have won instead of tied
>>284026908Anyone got the edit
the pacing in this part of the manga is painful even daily. I don't know how I had the patience to follow this shit weekly.
>>284032232It was the anticipation that real mindblowing shit was gonna happen and the endless theories you read online that made you think Kishimoto is gonna set up a truly epic plot with incredibly strong lore.
>>284027082If you turn them into puppets, you get all their charka and jutsu, so yes.
>>284031757In that case Sakura could also have played more carefully instead of betting it all in the final punch.
>>284032317It's astonishing the kind of sunk cost situation people put themselves through under the thought that something "will get better eventually".
Naruto part 2 unironically did the One Piece meme of "it gets good 1 million chapters in".
>>284032521Kishi had been setting up mystery boxes, like with the Akatsuki leader in his pipe town.
>>284032584Too bad Kishimoto dumped the Akatsuki rings mystery box in the trash and never brought them up again.
Chapter 371 will be the last chapter of this year.1 chapter away from Konan getting OILLED
>>284032232Because it was fun and entertaining for the first time
Ino is actually the taijutsu expert of her team
>>284026887>>284027347>that Hidan fellowI need to know if this is the stiffest translation of all time, or if Kishi writes inorganically
>>284032721When part 2 was coming out i dropped it because Kazekage rescue and Tenchi bridge were boring even when playing through UN5.I only picked up Naruto again because Hinata's confession popped on my YouTube feed (which goes to show how bonkers it was for it to happen at the time).Then i would follow 5KS and get completely filtered over how fucking abysmal the main characters have become, after that i only checked the up coming chapters every once in a while until it ended.
>>284026933is Choji not automatically the best Hidan matchup? He can even let the scythe cut him. Just grab Hidan and restrain him with a giant fist, how are you performing the ritual with all your bones broken/no movement.
>>284032751Then why wasn't she brought to the SRA?
>>284032884It runs on RPG logic. Hidan can perform the ritual when it's his turn to attack
>>284032904>>284026908
Part 2 should've been axed before Kishi finished this arc.
>>284027065the scythe foothold thing is brilliant. Everyone sells Hidan short.>>284027112>>284027132>>284027553I wonder how his dad fights, because of Shikamaru was a dedicated taijutsu guy, he'd be a top tier character, it's a way easier version of Hidan meeting his condition. Forget landing a cut, you just have to come anywhere near them, and gg. If they catch on and disengage to a longer range, you just use Shadow Possession like normal. He should be getting this close all the time.
>>284032985Shikamaru kind of goes through the Batman treatment where he gets a lot of super human physical feats so they aren't completely helpless or need to be saved against strong opponents even though ir completely goes against their gimmick of being weak but smart.
Despite being a lazy fuck, Shikamaru has better speed and probably better taijutsu than Lee and Neji.
Whose faster, Shikamaru (forma wanked) running or armless Deidara digging?
>>284033076Okay Kishi, it's time for you to hit the hay.
>>284026908I bet when Kishi gave this page to Yahagi it originally had Shikamaru shouting "YOU ARE A WOMAN!" to Ino and was demanded to be changed.
Hiashi won.
Shikamaru >>>>>> Minato > A
>>284033076I wouldn't say taijutsu, but his speed in this arc is ridiculous. He can outpace his enemies in a flash. What he's going to pull later is beyond insane when it comes to speed.
>>284026944Maybe 4 is not his cap, and anyway 4 extras is quite a bunch considering he can replenish them
>>284033332considering the hearts are inside him and he might be a hollowed out husk full of hearts/tendrils, it might be a space issue.
>>284026878Kakashi should quit smoking.
>>284026865What could he do before getting the extra hearts then?
Sakura and Chiyo's fight against Sasori basically nuked any chance of women doing anything for this timeskip until we reach the near end of the series because that's how long Kishi's female fatigue lasted.
>>284026908>"Dammit Ino, can you stop being a woman? Geez"
>>284033435Ino and Choji found a way to be even bigger liabilities: if Kakuzu catches them, the fight starts over. They're more useful to Kakuzu than they are to Kakashi/Shikamaru, lol
>>284026800>>284026847>>284026908>"......"
>>284030950Yeah, that doesn't seem to be healing, but Hidan's neck seems to be fully healed, though.
>>284033540I mean what even were Kakuzu's abilities before fighting those four shinobi?
>>284032884they want him to do the ritual to hit kakuzu with it. if anyone else's blood gets on the scythe it will ruin the plan
>>284027415>>284027344That’s why the shit Shikamaru manages to pull off later is absolute bullshit. Hidan was keeping up with Kakashi while he had Sharingan activated yet somehow he wasn’t able to immediately speed blitz Shikamaru. That was the exact moment the Shikamaruwank got out of hand for me.
>>284033595Earth style seems to be his base, so he had the hardening at least. He was definitely just a decent Jonin-level guy when he fought Hashirama, makes you wonder if they ever expected him to win.>>284033600imo it should be clear to them that redirecting the ritual onto Kakuzu isn't going to cut it.
>>284027064Fire being the jobber element is a trope in a lot of media because unless it’s explicitly trying to be over the top or graphic you can’t really let it actually do damage.People don’t realize how fucking hot fire gets where even brief contact can just sear your flesh and melt your clothes into your skin. It should be an instant fight ender barring magical protection if you get hit by a fireball or something, but instead it’s usually displayed as a concussive force or just a minor inconvenience.
Fun fact, Shikamaru and Zim have the same brazilian VA.
>>284026908LOL
>>284026779“Slowest” Akatsuki btwI still hate that the Storm games took that line way too literally and made him slow as molasses
>>284026800Kakashi’s backs hurting from carrying this team
>>284033819How did you manage to get a hold of Kishi's early draft?
>>284033819I legit lold
>>284033819>women in naruto are useleACK>*sluurrp thanks for saving me from Godyuya*
>>284027352He can just stitch his throat back up again just like he reattached Hidans head. You have to either completely destroy the whole body at once or go heart by heart
>>284026878To be fair he’s practically been soloing two Akatsuki at once and using jutsu while using the Sharingan that taxes him way more than it does an Uchiha
>>284027352his hearts are horcruxes for some reason. Unless you believe that Hidan's stab later on just happened to be in the right place one of his hearts was hanging out.
>>284027065Smugdan
>>284027112>even Hidan knows this is bs
>>284034916The way I see it the heart Hidan hit is the original heart, the additional hearts at to protect the original and you will see in another chapter they act automatically to fill in the gaps if there no hearts left in his body.
>>284027112>when the sniper says fuck it, we’re boxing now
>>284028586A summon that protects her body would make a ton of sense
>>284026944Kakuzu is hard to kill and really long lived so I guess that's close enoughThough depending on whether Sasori ages or not that might mean he should be counted too
I am the only one who thinks that after Kakuzu and Hidan defeat Kishi start to speed the things up? I still can't believe that Shikamaru alone was able to take Hidan down so easily.
>>284030571Kakuzu may be tough but nothing impossible, I think she could win.As for Hidan, I think she beats him pretty easily. While she can't kill him, she could do that n ervous system scrambling move to make Hidan flail around uselessly then break his limbs so he can't move at all.
>>284033734>unless it’s explicitly trying to be over the top or graphic you can’t really let it actually do damage.Didn't stop lightning
>>284033805Also Gohan.
>>284026908Translation>Shut the fuck up, woman. Why don't you go be useful by making us all some sandwiches?
>>284027693Shikamaru predicted that Tsunade would use the four-man cell as an excuse and that Kakashi would show up, so he needed one extra person
>>284027099Hidan respects talking as a free action
>>284027045Shikamaru is getting a lot of mileage out of those knives
>>284030911No one can make a post like anon
>>284032805Choji feels like an inflatable balloon in this
>>284027347>ask a motherfuckin chunin what to dofire this jobber NOW
>>284027596thanks op.
>>284026865Could Kakazu steal a Kekkei Genkai?
Hidan sucks. Only thing going for him is immortality.
>>284026865Kizaru was playing Kingdom Hearts
>>284035683Hidan would be cooler if Kishi would actually draw his fights and some some more of Hidan's scythe maneuvers. But instead we got >>284026779>KLANG KLINK
>>284035683Nuh uh. He’s also has very high level agility and mastery of his tri-scythe
Lee would stomp Hidan
>>284033819Lost extremely hardStill laughing
>>284035801Showing the swirls around the tree then what the anime turned it into always makes me laugh
>>284036015Literal story board manga
>>284035598Earth grudge fear could possibly be improved to keep kekkei genkai and not just chakra nature, but he'd need Sasori's help.
>>284026865How often is the chakra network mentioned after this? You think Kakuzus charka network looks like a box of old computer cables?
>>284027399Imagine all these qt children in the Forest of Death.
>>284027811If I were Sasori, I would puppet her.
>>284032613He forgot to have Sasuke grab Orochimaru's or Itachi's ring and then said fuck it.
So what does Kakuzu spend all the money he's so greedily accruing. Like ... he lives with Akatsuki, goes on missions all the time for them.What use is money to him at all?He doesn't even seem to need to eat or sleep or whatever.Doesn't own property, nothing... and he's been living for a long time.
>>284036538He puts it in a high interest savings account and enjoys watching number go up.
>>284032841>Tenchi bridgeI dropped on that too, even the anime can't save that "fight". I started read again when Naruto shows up in sannin mode with that coat to save konoha
>>284036538he wants to build his own ninja village.
>>284026759>DailyramenWe hate rabbits here
>>284027082It worked with the iron sand release from that one Sasori puppet.
>>284036538I guess he literally just likes having it.
>>284026908>shut up, woman, I call the shots hereShikamaru the SEXIST.
memes aside, you need to be a total retard to trust a shitter like ino to handle someone like kakuzu on her own.
>>284036893Ino shouldn't even be in a combat situation if all she knows is Mind-Transfer.
>>284036765
>>284036927She should learn mindsex jutsu something
>>284036893That's not what she's trying to do. They're trying to drag Hidan away from Kakuzu so the others can take him down while she just distracts him. >Kakashi is the only one who can reasonably put up a fight against Kakuzu amoung the four of them>Choji is fat and slow and his jutsus just make him a bigger target to bleed from>Shikamaru said himself he's almost spent on chakra last chapterThe logic of sending Ino, who should be on par with her teammates at this point(they're all chunnin) and is the only one completely fresh in terms of chakra is sound. It's just this is Shikamaru's world the characters are living in.
>>284036927it combo good with shikamaru's shadow bind. but kakuzu got both the skill and his shadows to avoid getting caught, i think shikamaru is quite rational here.
>>284036995>who should be on par with her teammates at this pointbut she's not, ino herself says she's not good with straight battles, it's a bad strategy.
>>284029118The manga has been a storyboard for the anime at least since the Kazekage rescue mission.
>>284037031>but she's not, ino herself says she's not good with straight battlesAnd Shikamaru isn't?
>>284037085the latest chapters show he's at least decent. dont ask me when he became good, being kishi's favourite probably plays a role.
>>284037130That's what I'm saying. It's only a bad decision because Kishi is trying to gaslight you into not noticing the entire plan is a fuckjob by Shikamaru and he's the only one here besides Kakashi allowed to actually do anything of note. Like, why didn't Ino immediately transfer to Hidan when Shikamaru caught the two instead of wasting chakra having Hidan be the one to make the first blow against Kakuza, who was also still trapped?
>>284037214>Like, why didn't Ino immediately transfer to Hidan when Shikamaru caught the two instead of wasting chakrait's not a bad argument, but i guess it could be because they knew very little about kakuzu' skills. it's not impossible to break from the shadow bind, he knew from the previous fight he can cast it successfully on hidan but it was a first on kakuzu.
>>284037214Shikamaru, go rizz up Kurenai after this mission so you don't end up with a bitch.
>>284036995
>>284037085So far, looking at these chapters, he seems way more proficient to it than Ino.
in this situation tenten or hinata would have been more useful, ino is a glass-cannon.
>>284037456When you think about it, wouldn't a Hyuga be the most useful against Kakuzu?
Kakuzu we're dying.
>>284037492definitely. too bad they didnt bother to gather proper intelligence.
The retconning to come is like>actually the designated healer isn't allowed to engage in the fight outside being Tsunade or Sakura>here's a filler episode with Ino being trained to be a medical ninja>Ino could have done something but she was just following the rules ok
>>284037591It's like Konoha suddenly having this sensory barrier around it even though the manga and anime have shown enemy niggas entering the village without anyone noticing before the Pain arc.
>>284033540If kakuzu captured ino she might land her jutsu considering he has no way of knowing she is capable of doing anything, much less the specifics
>>284031269Sakura beat Sasori, who is faster than Hidan.
>>284036538Maybe Pein pumps the money into rain village economy and buys Konan new sex toys
Whose powers are best suited for rape? Obito seems like a safe #1 pick. Itachi is up there.
If Shippuden was coming out now with ambitious adaptation, they would extend the one punch from Shikamaru into a sequence like this
>>284038462Akatsuki Powers in the Prospect of RapeSasori. I suppose he can puppet a human like Chiyo controlled Sakura.Deidara. None.Hidan. BDSM. He could also threaten the assaultee with death, thus forcing them to do some humiliating stuff.Kakuzu. If he can control the goo, he can take part in the tentacle play or the slime play (including All The Way Through).Itachi. Mind control, mind break.Kisame. Well, Samehada does have a tongue...Pain. Can use corpses. Also, some of the six ways offer interesting possibilities. Not to mention having six (actually seven) bodies with one mind and one field of view offers a unique experience.Konan. None.Zetsu. Body control. Vore.Obito. Mind control. Mind break. Pocket dimension.Conclusion. The most interesting option is Pain. Obito is the second place.
>>284036538I suppose he expects to have a high position of power in that faux-village pain plans to build per his fake-plan a couple of chapters ago? Kakuzu puts in the most money so he would be the majority shareholder I guess
>>284036538Kakuzu collects Warhammer minifigures
>>284027344I never bought into the Akatsuki's self-scaling. Deidara claimed Sasori was more powerful than him which makes no sense given that Sakura was able to keep up with Sasori yet got absolutely speed-blitzed when encountering Sasuke less than an arc later. The same Sasuke who Deidara had no issue keeping up with. Hidan being slow makes no sense, as he has literally zero combat jutsu. His entire combat style relies on swinging around his clunky scythe, if he were a slow melee combatant he would be incapable of fighting
>>284038994>given that Sakura was able to keep up with SasoriWhy do retards keep parroting this over and over again when Sakura had multiple advantages against him and it's been stated that Sasori let her win that fight?
>>284039032>and it's been stated that Sasori let her win that fight?Sasori was coping over getting BTFO by two women.
Not once in this arc has Kakuzu displayed greater speed than Hidan.
So, could this team (Team 10 + Kakashi) defeat 2 tails?
>>284038994Did Sasuke blitz Sakura? I remember him blitzing Naruto, but did Sakura did anything at all worthy of being blitzed?
>>284039129she's a girl, so of course
>>284039129I would like to believe no, they couldn’t but since they are giving the immortal duo a harder time while knowing only 1/2 of their abilities, it would seem like yes, with high difficulty they could. Oh and Naruto would one shot Matatabi lol
>>284035683He was a pretty skilled taijutsu user before. It's just Shikamaru wank now.
>>284035683He’s quite literally a solo king. I would even believe he could beat Kakashi 1v1.He’s probably so skilled he can like Guy, fight by watching his opponents feet.He loses to characters that have superarmor and can’t be cut or don’t engage in close combat.
>>284039185t. sasori
Reminder that Jiraiya was piece of shit of who was too busy writing porn and staring at bitches in baths to raise his godson. Not only was Naruto lonely and sad, but he started out Part 1 hilariously weak outside just spamming Shadow Clones after reading the scroll. I hope Kushina kicked his ass in next world.
>>284039324I don't think this fight this fight is so conclusive you can't use your intuition anymore. Kakashi loses 1v1 against Kakuzu, even when he starts the fight at 80% firepower and the only reason they beat Hidan is pure Shikamaru wank + hax. It'd be reasonable to assume Matatabi can resist Shikamarus shadow very well, even if caught, since she has way more pure chakra power (or whatever you wanna call it) and even Tayuya was able to resist it. Also the threat on Hidans neck seems to be gone, so it's possible he was stitched together by Kakuzu during that fight aswell.
>>284039324>Oh and Naruto would one shot MatatabiActually, Matatabi is fire element, which would counter Narutos wind element. Yugito solos. (This is also how I can headcanon away Kakuzu saying nobody ever survived the combo they used vs Kakashi, which would mean they didn't use it vs Yugito, but since it's wind element and Matatabi is visibly fire element it makes sense they simply used another combo against her)>>284034835Yugito was called a jobber for losing at all under those circumstances...
>>284036538if kishi made a sad backstory showing how kakuzu needed the money to save his daughter or something people would glaze him as the greatest naruto villain of all time. it really is that easy.
>>284040036>his daughter is in her 60's and looks way older than him, sick and bedridden>Kakuzu gave up his humanity to save his daughter>every cent from bounties goes towards her treatment + hiring medical ninjutsu experts to help her>surrenders himself to Konoha on the condition that Tsunade saves herhero hero hero HERO
>>284040106What would cause him to surrender though?
>>284040122believing Tsunade to be the #1 medical expert and only person left who can help, he expects to be able to buy her off because of all the gambling stuff, but she's Kage now and honorable etc.
>>284039583Like the other sannin Jiraiya has his own mental problems, he has a negative reaction to Naruto looking to him as a father figure but later that day realizes what he did and corrects it, he reflexively resists a paternal role. Yeah he's unapologetic but if he knows he can't be a father it's probably best that he didn't try to raise a baby Naruto and end up traumatizing him by leaving him in the orphanage anyway or something.
>>284040183If im not mistaken naruto did inherit his money after he died but Naruto ended up donating half of it to orphans I could be wrong
>>284040161>he hires Tsunade in civil to heal his daughter>while healing his daughter Tsunade sees the Akatsuki cloak in his houseKino
>>284037456Neither of them would have been able to use the bird at the beginning to spot them. Mission failed. Kakashi has to suicide now, great job.
>>284027499>It's a bit weird how they work. Initially it seems like just every time Kakuzu would die one of the masks dies instead. But then Naruto hits him and he instantly loses 3 hearts at once. People explain it with rasenshuriken working at the atomic level or something, but I don't see why that would be relevant.It's running on video game logic. Rasenshuriken did 3 health bars worth of damage. The other kills weren't overkill enough and only did one death's worth of damage.
>>284040967Yeah, how could a fight possibly be setup without mind controlling a bird?
>>284028579imagine being an academy teacher
>>284041401Anon why aren't you allowed within 500 ft of the academy?
This fight is filled with things Shikamaru never was ale to do before and never does again
"sumire" episodehinata 2.0but cuterhope boruto didnt become woke and she gets hinata fillers treatment
>>284040425I saw someone post an image of Naruto's first date with Hinata, where she uses Byakugan to see his wallet is nearly empty. Makes me wonder where all that money from Icha Icha royalties went.
>>284041938Oh that's Sumire? She looks different than her recent manga design. Idk Boruto but she seems like a shipbait character from what I've seen.
wtf, boruto ep 7they finally started touchung the byakugan thingmitsuki said "one of the 3 strongests visual things, and the stronge konoha one"WTF? BYAKUGAN THE STRONGEST?? WHAT ABOUT SHARINGAN????
>>284042689ep8*
Could Madara be fixed if he just had sex?
>>284042938That’s the opposite of solving his problem. Uchiha should be genocided for starting 99% of catastrophes in the world
*sex*
>>284043105Konohamaru...
s-sigh come on... it's midday...
>>284038233Chunin Sakura did that
Future trunks = BorutoSeriously i have no fucking clue what the fuck will happen im the boruto series is he going to fucking die , will he go back in time during shippuden , as of now its only aliens ,tree people ,humanoids and a warped reality.
>>284042938I just heard his English VA for the first time, it's actually pretty good. Naruto had a decent dub. Are there any dub voices you guys actually prefer over the original Japanese ones?
>>284043105>>284043137Look at the greasy grin on that old geezer he is fully aware that he won.Both daughters are to be bred in to political powers and with the clan’s royalty.
>>284044857Is Konohamaru strong enough to be the next Hokage? Isn't it going to be Salad or someone else?
>>284038333Is Nagato THAT desperate to hear Konan moaning again?
>>284039180Yamato got blitzed by Sasuke and Yamato outsped Sakura so he blitzed her by extension.
>>284044544Imagine reading that garbage
>>284040967Hinata's byakugan range goes over 10 km, she doesn't need a bird.
>>284041938>Hinata 2.0Only if all you think of Hinata is a passive purple side girl that contrasts the red dressed violent main girl.
>>284043137>>284044857Kekhamaru ain't getting Hyuuga pussy, buddy.
>thread is so dead we have bortards discussing their fan fiction Lol
>>284045301This arc is already on Boruto's level of quality anyway.
>>284044544>will he go back in time during shippuden I will never get why you keep trying to push this.>>284044857Konohamaru is for Moegi.>>284045022Almost for sure Sarada, unless Naruto dies and Konohamaru takes the position in the middle.>>284045301Keep seething.
>>284043105Sadistic cunt
If Kishimoto could only save either Shikamaru or Itachi from a burning house, who would he choose?
>>284045618Itachi, Shikamaru is a side girl, a temporary distraction from his true interest.
>>284045618Shikamaru dies
>>284045693You know Kishimoto came on the page when he drew this
>>284045686That means Itachi is a cuck?
>>284045693>I could never kill that many children no matter how much I tried
Could Neji and Lee solo Kakuzu and Hidan?
My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I’m going to become Hokage one day. Believe it!!
>>284046368Neji is an horrible counter for both of them, and Lee is really strong.
>>284046368Tbh, having seen his fight against Asuma again, I gained new respect for Hidan. He's pretty skilled, without getting the same levels of wank as Shikamaru did, those two have no chance, even while ignoring his immortality.
>>284045618Shikamaru.
>>284046680Why did Sakura became so gay for Hinata in Sakura shippuden?
>>284029591How would you rewrite sakuras character ??
>>284046807>Because he'd be successfulKishimoto is about as shallow as the women he created.
>>284029591Why would Orochimaru even be interested in Sakura outside of using her as means to manipulative Sasuke?
>>284046975Make her useful and fight konan.
>>284047023She goes rogue and mimics sasuke
>>284047078....because?
>>284043105If you insist
>>284047193Well why was she enticed to leave the village with sasuke.
>>284045301/a/ was slow as shit yesterday, all the threads I had my eye on were ghostly
>>284047406You're assuming the Sound 4 and Orochimaru would just accept her coming along and even train her without her showing anything beyond loving Sasuke?
The only way I could see a realistic and organically developed evil Sakura would be like that one anon said that she should have pushed Sasuke away when Sasuke was about to be branded by Oro and somehow she gets a hold of it well better than Sasuke or anyone else due to O MY PERFECT CHAKRA CONTROL or some shit.
>>284047578You all think Sakura would look better in the curse seal of heaven's level 2 state than Sasuke?
>>284047481>>284047578Honestly the only way to make sakura a better character is to have her get over the whole sasuke obsession thing and make her medical doctor at a young age 100%
>>284046400naaaahhh blud really said this and bcame hokage (skull emoji) (ishowspeed.gif)
>>284047700Dunno , but kcm slaps.
>>284042434Sumire has a lot more depth and actually displays ninja abilities in the anime than she does in the manga.
>>284048039
>>284042938He probably had sex at some point.
>>284043137She's not getting with that man. He's already taken by Moegi. Hanabi is gonna marry Udon. Yes, that's right!
>>284047333Hinata is so lucky...
>>284048063>"With this form i will surely be able to bring Hinata back to the village"
>>284045301Discussing the CANON SEQUEL, you mean.
>>284048063Our HERO
>>284048063Mucho sexo
>>284048106This made me remember this image.
>>284048581Hinata gaslight an entire generation that the budget fire country symbol was the Hyuuga clan crest.
>>284048615Is it not the Hyuga Clan symbol?
>>284048721No.
>>284048581Why do they look good.
>>284049025I dunno, Naruto's outfit doesn't really look good on anyone.
I think Ino's soul swap is a lame overly complicated ability, that doesn't get used a lot, but also is the only thing going for her.I would just scrap it and give her something better. (Also hurr durr Konoha has 11 clans while other villages have maybe 1 on better days)
>>284049126
>>284048794The Hyuga clan symbol was shown to look like this (the bottom symbol on the left) during the last episodes of Shippuden.
>>284049230This is the one thing you can 100% blame Yahagi on since Kishi originally wanted the K jobbers to be from different villages.
>>284049359>>>>EpisodesAnon...
>>284049230It just ends up feeling like a way shittier version of Shikamaru's shtick anytime it comes out and that's really bad when they're both on the same team.
>>284049381That's actually interesting. I wonder if it would have been healthier for the story for team Asuma, Kurenai and Guy to be from other villages, like the sand siblings.
>>284049406You're saying the anime was incorrect and Kishimoto didn't bother to correct them either?
>>284049381I only remember that being Team Gai's case.
>>284049359The hyuuga clan have no meaningful ties to the fire country or fire style for that to be their actual symbol, besides, the idea that only the Clan's outcast was willing to "proudly" wear the crest is just retarded.The yin-yang appears when 64 palms is used and they are taijutsu specialists, so that being the symbol makes sense.
>>284049475Why the fuck would he bother with that?
>>284033734I like Ace vs Blackbeard because of that, you have Teach rolling on the ground trying to pull out the flames in pain whenever Ave connects a hit.
>>284049505The interview mentioned all teams, we only know Team guy was from iwa for sure because of the back of the volume/chapter they were introduced in.
>>284049475Anon, Kishi barely had time to draw chapters and be with his family but you think he will have time to fix inconsitences with the anime?
>>284049584>we only know Team guy was from iwaMakes sense for ROCK Lee.
>>284049616The manga was done for like a year and half when those episodes aired.
>>284049718And Kishimoto was DONE with his IP and had already let SP do a bunch of shit of their own, he wasn't going to start correcting them now.
>Iwa was either going to get two semi relevant teams or Hinata replaced some poor chick that was going to be on team 8 before the changes
Ok so>Team 7: Konoha>Team Guy: Iwa>Sand Siblings: SunaThat leaves Kumo and Kiri for Team 8 and 10.
Why kishi why
>>284049974Naruhina makes far more sense than Narusaku. If we got Narusaku, then Sasuke would end up alone
>>284050038Or with Hinata (through editorial demand).
>>284049960>Team 10Kumo (ONE member has to be black now tee hee)>Team 8Grass?
>>284050099Is the joke here that Kiba and Shino are animal themed and Kurenai's one jutsu involved a tree?
>>284049974Kishimotos a hack but then again who in the hell said this was a romance manga.
>>284049960Team 8's early cruelty fits Kiri the best.
>>284049974Because you're gullible.
>>284049960Team 10 would be Kumo. They have blondes there, so Ino would fit in. Omoi has an overthinking personality and Darui is very laid back, so an environment that has those kinds of people would fit for Shikamaru. Choji, well, he marries Karui, so it would just be him marrying someone from his home village. Maybe it can be established that Karui was someone he always had a crush on.Team 8... I don't know. Would Kiri fit for them?
>>284044550Dub Kakashi, Jiraiya and Kisame are all incredible performances. They have godlike Japanese VAs too but I'd be lying if I said I don't imagine their English voices first
>>284050099>ONE member has to be black nowIt can't be Shika for his self insert status, so i'm betting on Ino.
>>284050178Yeah, you have a point. They even used leeches; underwater parasites.
>>284050099Would Shikamaru be more liked if he was black?>Also temari zamn
>>284050240>>284050252Shikamaru would just end up looking like Kidomaru, lol.
>>284050252>Late 90s to mid 2000s mangaShikamaru would be half as popular if he was Black, you'd see more complaints about him earlier on but for the wrong reasons.
Black Ino with Sai would be the most exotic couple in Naruto.
>Yahagi unintentionally stopped Kishimoto from making the wokest shounen manga of the 2000s.
>>284050381
>>284050196>kishimoto trolling. Why couldn’t he just develop what he intended to originally
>>284050546Not bad, honestly.
>>284050561Because he prefered to take your money.
>>284050561falling for a red herring doesn't make it trolling.>sakura ending up with naruto.That'd require a little more like him actually caring after her actual character and not have both characters revolving around Sasuke.
>>284050099I frankly don't think Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji would have to be black. Asuma could be the one who's black and be made the son of A or the Raikage before him like how he's the son of Hiruzen. Also, him and Shikamaru attacking Hidan and Kakuzu can be changed to be a response to those two taking Yugito.
>>284049974Give me one good reason why this is better than end game cannon.
>>284050775Because it had development back in part 1.They have great chemistry when they aren’t thinking about Sasuke.This wouldn’t be a late shippuden development like with Hinata.You may like HinataxNaruto more, but objectively SakuraxNaruto has better fundation.Either way Tsunade x Naruto is king
>>284050173Kishimoto is a fraud the moment I found out he didn't even want to do the chunin exams (one of his best arc) until he was told by his editor.
>>284050775Because it would be better than what we got!
>>284051010I'm gonna say it but Sakura looks really bad with the jewel on her forehead.
>>284050775>>284051010
I'm fine with Sasuke being a loner after Shippuden, but if a girl had to marry him and it wasn't Sakura, who would make sense?
>>284051010>>284051035>>284050775
>>284050924And he also originally wanted Shikamaru to win before he was told to have the invasion interrupt the exams.
>>284051010>>284051035>>284051061
>>284050910>Because it had development back in part 1.You mean the platonic development?
>>284051053People would say Karin, but I like the idea some fans have of him settling down with some normie from outside of Konoha.
>>284051088>>284051061>>284051035>>284051010
>>284051110>>284051088>>284051061>>284051035>>284051010
>>284051106So karin??
>>284051181>Karin>normie
>>284051053>>284051106Here's a cheat code.Make Suigetsu a girl.
Hidans not as much of a threat when his gimmick is known
>>284051268He was faster than Asuma and Shikamaru (pre wank)
>>284051268Akatsuki aren't as much of a threat when right before they kill you their boss calls them to sit still for six days so you can ambush them with their pants down
>>284032985>the scythe foothold thing is brilliant. Everyone sells Hidan shortBut then you start to wonder why he jumped up the tree, where he loses his footing in the first place.>>284051268His fight vs Asuma would be the same if he had knowledge. Hidan just outskilled him.
>>284051442Oh, I meant not much of a threat for the elite ninja that the story gives most of its screentime to. Not jobbers.
We love Karin here
>>284051534Name 5 non kage elite ninjas not from Konoha or from the Akatsuki that could beat Hidan.
>mixed son of a whirlpool refugee>Friends with the last uchiha>Marries Hyuuga heiress (from Iwa)>Fucks the economyNaruto would make leafchuds seethe behind closed doors if Kishi went with his original plan.
>>284051625LeeNejiNarutoGaiKakashiShino
>new thread upwarehouse shifts ending early this week
>>284051801>Not from Konoha
>>284051715What was the original plan
>>284051625Darui.SuigetsuKiller Bee.BakiKaguya
>>284051534Nobody is a threat to the characters the story focuses on because they always get wanked to the point they win.
>>284051625Yugito
>>284051957Lol, lmao
>>284051846Why the fuck would you make that qualifier when we know almost nothing of high level ninja from other villages
>>284051890Read the thread, bozo.
>>284052714Because the strongest characters are from Konoha?
