I still think it's fucking embarrassing that all of Konoha combined could only take down a single Pain, and Naruto had to take down the other 5, plus the one already defeated since it got restored.
>>
>>286710333
Pain is really the end result of both Nagato and Konan's complexes about Yahiko. Nagato wanted to live Yahiko's life vicariously and Konan wasn't ready to let go so they preserved him as an avatar to see his ideals fulfilled. We see later from the mausoleum that Konan has a pattern of this sentimentality, which is a striking departure from what Kakashi established early in the series that shinobi's bodies are supposed to be destroyed.

Uhhh Konohamaru took one down too bigot

This is the closest she or anyone else comes to admonishing her for nearly killing herself huh. I get why that is but it would've been neat to see Neji being angry because he loves her. "Don't you ever do that again" while crying and hugging her, all that jazz.

Why wouldn't he enter sage mode again before meeting with Akatsuki member(s)? Even if Pain is weakened they could still be a threat.

Part 1 was absolute slop and you know it. Stop using rose tainted glasses to glaze this shitty shonen. Kishimoto was never a good mangaka or a good writer and got carried by the emotional weight people projected onto his characters as kids themselves.

>>286711457
so what? any retard can say "war is le wrong" it doesn't mean special force Jonin should leave a literal 16 year old retard do what he wants, when that retard already lost control of nine tails and was about to Nuke the village a second time
>>
>>286711542
If you don't remember, the next chapter has Naruto explain this. He's unsure what to do and wanted to see his own reaction when faced with his mentor(s) and village killer. This is how he ends up finding and articulating his own answer, aka why he should suck it up and persist in his foolish quest.

I agree that most adults should have a defined outlook on these things and therefore would try to claim authority on Naruto for he's just a teenager... but that's why Shikaku gives Naruto a pass because he's the one who stopped the Pains, giving him at least some legitimacy in finishing the job. Naruto also said he can't forgive Pain so it's not like he's going there to let him go. The reasonable answer would've been to follow him from afar and be ready to intervene depending on the outcome.

>>286711669
That's a completely different situation, Naruto wants to see what he's going to feel and do when having the real Pain at his mercy. Whether he can uphold the ideals he's been entrusted with or not. Whether they're even worth it in the first place.

Part 1 didn't really bring up war/muh hatred, it brought up shinobi being used as tools (which was actually quite an interesting and mature theme) and muh social bonds (which is a nice theme but thinking about it it was every bit as preachy as part 2 ever was about any of its themes, Naruto just keeps harping on and on for multiple flashback chapters about MUH PRECIOUS ONES and it's really not that well written)

It's really just largely shitty with a few nice upsides here and there

Naruto's answer essentially summed up as
>Yes I'm angry and want to kill you, but I also want to honor the mission my late master gave me and end the cycle of hatred. I'm sparing you in hopes this stops here and does not persist. If you persist I'll just have to stop you again.
This inherently is not a horrible way to progress the plot. What makes it ABSOLUTELY BRAINDEAD FUCKING RETARDED is that Nagato just kills himself and undoes all the damage he did "haha, no harm done AND you don't have to get your hands dirty AND you don't have to explain to the village why you let me go! great job, Hero Naruto!"
It would have been somewhat interesting to see how Naruto has to actually confront the village after this. To tell them he let the guy that killed scores of them and destroyed the entire village go. Because THAT is truly coming head to head with what makes honoring Jiraiya's wish truly difficult. But nope, don't worry, undo-everything-and-die-no jutsu absolves naruto of having to deal with any of this AND it kills the antagonist without having to get his hands dirty! Convenient, huh?

Kishimoto laziness mostly. He refuses to actually show things happening too many times, whether it's drawing fights instead of alluding to them with overuse of offscreen and close shots, or having to retcon character interactions later on because he just fucking zooms through everything and never gives his characters chances to chill and do things together. The so-called Konoha 11 never really existed beyond anime fillers, anime openings, and maybe promotional material.

Writing wise, he's not always bad but he has tons of misses. Forced themes (pic related, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT SASUKE), lacking dialogues. Stuff that's too basic while also lacking in flair that could help justify it.

I'm not writing off this entire manga as bad, there are parts I like, but you can tell Kishimoto was saved by a lot of factors beyond his own skill.

Naruto should have been clear that he would take him to jail. He didn't say "if you persist I'll stop you again", but he didn't say quite clearly "I'll lock you up for your crimes but I wont lose myself to revenge" either.

I just hate it because up until that point it's not the worst writing imaginable. Naruto fighting against his personal vendetta to let him go and brazenly walk forward knowing he let who could be considered the #1 Terrorist in Leaf Village history go convincing Nagato to stop and believe in Naruto all makes sense.
It's just a complete and utter unexplored plot line for Naruto to confront what TRULY makes ending the "cycle of hatred" difficult. It's convincing everyone else. He himself having the heart or conviction to "forgive" Pain is one thing, but what about the rest of the village? What is he going to tell them? How will he convince them that he's done the right thing? How will he make EVERYONE ELSE get to his Jesus-tier levels of forgiveness? That's the real challenge and that's what really matters towards achieving Jiraiya's goal.
But nope, doesn't matter, kill-myself-and-fix-everything no jutsu makes it all go away. And yet still means Naruto's problems are still solved through the death of his opponents.

>quickly into a shonen war
Don't even get me started on how bullshit the War is. One of the largest criticisms of Naruto as a whole is how disappointing it is after such a great setup very early on.
We see that the ninja world is full of fighting, killing, death, espionage, subterfuge, and ethically dubious missions. Wars breaking out where low level grunt ninjas are killing people that could have been their friends in times of peace. People going on and doing missions they don't understand or agree with. The "Dark Side" of the ninja world that NOBODY IN THE ENTIRE FUCKING MANGA EVER ENGAGES WITH.
Even if we're to treat the Ninja more as common Soldiers instead of Secret Agents, soldiers experience the horrors of war. They're tasked with doing shit that will haunt them forever. Their lives are sometimes just treated as disposable. They're killing people that may or may not be innocent, based solely on "it's what they told me to do".
But what's the big "war" that breaks out for the main cast? The horrible, end times, world war? The main characters fighting a combination of Clones and Zombies. Clones of 1 guy that can be """killed""" without having to feel the gravity of ending a life, and Zombified forms of renowned ninja from the past practically begging them to """kill""" them. This isn't a war. They're fighting against an objective, ontological evil with an inhuman army so as to keep everyone "pure". It's so fucking cowardly and unambitious.

It goes a bit further than this, they managed to unite every nation on Earth thanks to this ontological evil. They're going to beat up a few plants and achieve unearned world peace thanks to that (plus a few sacrifices but whatever)

I think the war did the "connections" aspect well enough but everything about the worldbuilding and the associated themes is iffy at best and horrible at worst
>>
>>286710140
This arc has way too many moments where they just sit down and wait for the situation to resolve itself. This guy was so incredibly lucky that Nagato just happened to be as autistic as Naruto and just happened to have the exact powers needed to COMPLETELY reverse all the damage that was done to Konoha. Letting Naruto confront Nagato was ok but they should have followed him at least. He's about to go face the guy who levelled the whole village piloting a fucking corpse, and they know for a fact that the guy has a stack of corpses that he can pilot them again just fine if he's not immediately dealt with. For all they know Nagato could be a lot stronger in person. How can they just watch Naruto go alone in this situation?
>>
>>286710002
Is he seeing those Pain memories? He's not in sage mode so he can't be tracking the chakra source right now.

Could the story move on and still work if Nagato didn't revive everyone that died in this arc?

>>
>>286712511
Yes. Who died of any note besides Kakashi and the Frog? Shizune?
If anything it would have been a lot more relevant to the overall theme of ending the cycle of hatred. Naruto has to actually confront a village full of angry, vengeful people and somehow convince them that this was the right thing to do. How he approaches that is much more interesting than "Don't worry, I'll just kill myself and revive everyone so all I really did was blow up some buildings that get rebuilt tomorrow anyway!"
Maybe Naruto gets expelled from the village? Maybe he has to work together with Nagato and Konan to further a peaceful ninja world? I don't know, but anything would be more interesting than what we got.

Keeping dead bodies in fighting shape probably involves replacing blood with something functionally the same. The bodies don't have scent so they aren't rotting, but they aren't desiccated either. Whatever way they are preserved, it's probably high maintenance.

It does suck that Nagato is basically a corpse. Naruto and the others have no idea what he's actually like here. For all they know he is some super huge and powerful final boss and the puppets are just a fraction of his might. Other Akatsuki could be there. There should be real weight behind this decision. Didn't Naruto learn anything from what happened with Hinata? Didn't these guys?

>>286710154
The paper tree hideout is pretty cool ngl. Konan is definitely underutilized, I can see why she is a favorite.

Naruto was never in love with Sakura and only vibed with her unashamed crush on Sasuke.
Haku taught Naruto about devotion. He expects this same devotion out of Sakura towards Sasuke. When Sakura falls short of Naruto's expectations he stops having any interest in Sakura. Rather, he stops looking to her for validating his own feelings.
5KS arc is like something NaruSaku erase from their brains because it's so engineered against them.

Held her hand and told her she was always by his side. If you had any media literacy you would realise even before 615 that Kishimoto would never hammer home that Hinata is in love with Naruto over and over again if he wasn't about to make NH canon.

>It would have been somewhat interesting to see how Naruto has to actually confront the village after this. To tell them he let the guy that killed scores of them and destroyed the entire village go. Because THAT is truly coming head to head with what makes honoring Jiraiya's wish truly difficult.
Fucking this, well said anon. "Breaking the cycle" needs to involve the people in the village who were destroyed and lost their comrades/families. Facing Nagato is the easy part. Justifying letting him go to Sakura, the old frog lady, and the others is the hard part that gets skipped over.

It also would have been an interesting dynamic to have Nagato in the mix as a foreign ally. Naruto building peace one nation at a time builds up to his ascendancy to ninja president. Tobi would be under a ton of pressure to act quickly and there could be a big question around what is to happen with the captured tailed beasts.

The zombies explaining to the trash mobs how to defeat them was especially egregious. Demolished the whole "each generation is stronger than the last" narrative, and completely deflated the stakes of the battle. Kid friendly to a fault. At the very least the zombies should antagonistic and challenge the character growth that everyone has gone through up to that point. Assuming it took place in a parallel reality where character growth was part of the story up to that point.

He's not reading memories. He's in deep thought and suffering from his loss. These rods have Pain's chakra in them and they're also what he used to kill a lot of these people. Naruto's getting a "taste" of that tragedy, whether it's on a physical level (aka he can actually feel that from the chakra) or spiritual.

It's just such a shame because in all honesty I thought the first arc of Naruto was where it peaked and set up what could have been something so much greater.
>kids sent on simple escort mission with Kakashi as the security blanket
>immediately run into Zabusa and realize there's more to this mission than meets the eye
>Naruto and Sasuke having to use an enormous amount of teamwork and cooperation to simply get Zabusa to move his arm and free Kakashi sets pretty reasonable powerscales that the kids are an incredible level below Jonin
>Kakashi training them on the fly for what's clearly something above the kids' pay grade
>Naruto and Sasuke have to work together to barely beat Kaku
>Fox's powers are introduced and bail Naruto out, not a win he can hang his hat on but he won
>Nartuo literally about to kill Kaku
>the main character about to fucking stab someone to death with his own two hands on the very first mission raising the stakes and immediately throwing Naruto into the "Ninja World"
>instead lolno the boywife dies to Kakashi and Naruto, despite being a soldier, is never tasked with killing anyone ever again

And to add onto this what makes it so much worse is that the main character, who wants to avoid killing people at all costs, still has his problems solved through the death of his opponents. Kakuzu was conveniently killed by Kakashi because he was only incapacitated after Naruto's attack, Pain just kills himself, and Haku effectively kills himself. It would have carried so much more weight if Naruto had actually killed someone early in the series, like Haku, and the trauma of ending a life actually strengthens his conviction of not wanting to kill ever again.
But instead he gets to have his cake and eat it too. He gets to be "pure" while is opponents just die from someone or something else. Pain should have lived and just fucked off. Maybe supported Naruto's ideals from the shadows or something, I don't know. But you can't have a MC that's diametrically opposed to killing have all of his problems solved via death.

I’m realizing during this reread of this story that Naruto does not kill anyone. Like at all. I don’t think the MC killing a character would make him better but this setting and what he does you’d think he’d kill at least one person to justify not wanting to kill again.

I love how everyone is pre upset because we about to get to the biggest asspullbin the story.

I can see where you're coming from but she's shown enough power to justify being able to handle herself on at least a basic level imo (taking on Neji in the exam even if he held back, mastering her own jutsu with the lion fist thing, etc). Making her so helpless that she can't manage a simple jump weakens her character for the sake of building a relationship with Naruto

Naruto doesn't have some complex about killing though so it's not something that needs focus. He goes for the kill against Haku, Kabuto, Deidara, Itachi and Kakuzu. He would have tried to kill Kimimaro if Lee hadn't stepped in.
Naruto beating various people physically before pointing out the contradictions in their philosophies doesn't mean he has something against killing. He's just learned that there's more to things and by volume 5 he doesn't care about mission parameters the same way other ninja do.

that's part of why the five kage summit happened. the Akatsuki sat around doing FA for years before catching Gaara, and it's implied the Sand didn't tell anybody what happened. news of the Akatsuki didn't get to the other villages until Cloud lost both Yugito and (presumably) Bee in quick succession, as well as several other villages AND Konoha getting levelled in the same time frame. all of that, combined with the knowledge of the two known remaining Uchiha being involved prompted all the Kage to agree to a sitdown.

Anime Ino is implied to be the best kunoichi in the academy. Sakura wasn’t able to do anything other that chakra control. She should be able to auto win against anyone if she is concealed or hidden

Not even that hard, he could've done what anime >>286713341 did or at least show her attempting to fake him out with the clone or genjutsu (yes, i still think Kurenai should've taught her something).

True, but not this close up with him looking right at her

Not that I remember, I just assumed. Maybe she's just shy that he's looking at her in general

That's one more page that Kishi could instead use to show Pain lecturing Nard or Konoha bums being useless.

It still doesn't really make sense. Even if they don't share intel, they're fucking ninja villages, they should find something out. And a trained jinchuriki is still a much better asset than an untrained.
Like Konoha send ot 20 squads because of some bald monk and instantly manage to track down Hidan and Kakuzu, while never encountering any Kumo ninjas, who would be tracking the same targets if they tried to save Yugito, who is a much bigger asset than the monk.

Most of these dark panels are a Lot more compelling when the background is pitch black, instead of some color like purple. Noticed this back during the Itachi chapters.
>>
>>286717603
It could've been something like Obito vs Kakashi fight, with panels of her trying to hit Pain alternating with flashbacks about her life, family and everything, ending with her getting knocked down next to Naruto and finally realising what she must do before going for the rods with the last of her strength. Then sharing a look with him before being launched away >>286716511
Would've been much more affecting than infodump confession.

It's not even the lack of action that's the problem but the complete absence of character development. I'm not even talking about Naruto forgetting her confession, the event itself has literally zero impact on Hinata. She doesn't rethink her obsession or pursue Naruto further, she's just glad he's alive and that's it. Nearly dying doesn't shake her up, doesn't prompt her to train harder or adopt new strategies, she never gets to explain herself or justify her actions. Everyone just takes it as granted, "oh that Hinata, of course she'd try something like that. Shame we weren't around to tard wrangle her."
