there's a gag where deidara uses a rattle to anger gaara and he says "gaara! garagara! gaara! gaara-chan!" so it's a gag based on gaara sounding like garagara, which is a rattling sound.

Spamming pages during dumps.
>>291431201
I'll make this clear right now: I have zero interest in continuing the storytime beyond chapter 700. I don't want to know or read about Boruto, and I've been juggling storytimes for a while now.
>>
>>291431201
I'm the one whose gonna dump Burrito, OP said he wouldn't do it.
Not sure if he's gonna dump Sarada gaiden though, I'll probably dump that too before starting the actual Bort dump.

i'd rather boruto is saved for last because it sucks and is somewhat long. samurai 8 is at least short.

probably not. or it will be a fully clothed woman when he transforms. it'll be stupid if they remove it outright though since it references fox spirits in folklore transforming into women to trick people.

You know, the extra chapters after 700 that focus on her?

No, I don't use a trip for any other storytimes.

should've let them summon 100% katsuyu

Can't Naruto and the rest of the alliance give them enough chakra to summon the entirety of Katsuyu?
>>
>>291431421
Why
>>

>>291431414
So gaiden happens after 700 and is then followed by bort? Is it canon?

Thanks, comfy OP!
>>
>>291431462
Sarada gaiden is 100% made by Kishi.
>>
Could 100% Katsuyu beat SHITbito?
>>
>>291430781
it's cool seeing sakura and tsunade sort of on equal footing, fighting side by side as a team
don't think we ever get naruto and sasuke doing that with their sannin teacher

also tsunade turned the weakest team 7 member into a beast and did it while juggling hokage duties, she might actually be the best teacher
>>
>>291431532
>also tsunade turned the weakest team 7 member into a beast
Sakura is still useless as fuck. Tsunade is useless as fuck too, for that matter.
>>
>Both Sakura and Tsunade in Byakugou + double kurama cloak can only summon 10% of Katsuyu
How big is this bitch?
>>
>>291430794
in that first panel obito is like an annoying little insect buzzing around while naruto and sasuke try to swat him

She's a beast compared to what she was beforehand.

>>
>>291431550
>kurama cloak
None of the Kage have this
>>
>>291431572
This would have more weight to it if Sakura wasn't useless past the Sasori fight. Just when you think Sakura is actually going to be a mainstay and start to creep into equal footing with Naruto and Sasuke, she is immediately relegated into the useless section of everyone not named Naruto or Sasuke. It must have been disappointing to be a fan of Sakura at the time, watch her actually greatly contribute in taking down an Akatsuki member, then nothing for the rest of the manga.
>>
>>291431584
>sasuke are both better at healing anyway
Sasuke has never healed anything. He's either relied on Karin, Sakura, Jugo or Orochimaru cells.
>>
>>291430781
How does Tsunade still have gas for this when she had to spend everything she had to keep the Kages alive?
>>
>>291431584
Yeah what's the point in leaving shit up in the air now? Kishi even had Guy hit all 8 gates in the 11th hour just to check that off the list, and yet Katsuyu's full body is something we'll never see?

Did you forget how the 100 Healing seal works? You need to spend time storing all that chakra.

>>291431711
Kishi clearly stopped caring about this after Pain.
>>
>>291431732
He still made a big (Well, not really) deal about Sakura reaching that point just a handful of chapters ago.
We don't really have a good timeframe on how long it's been since Pain, but it is surely much more than one sand flight, so maybe Tsunade can just charge it relatively quickly but if it's this short, it should be something she can just do at all times.

Sakura pretty much saves the world at four different times over the rest of the manga though.
>>
>>291432024
The double kurama cloak was refering to how Sakura is powered up by both yin and Yang Kuramas.

None of it amounts to anything, it's all just hype moments and aura to create the illusion that these characters are useful when only Naruto and Sasuke actually matter, as usual.
>>
>>291432453
The whole concept they were only ever summoning a portion of her wasn't even a thing until, what, 5 chapters ago? It was a random last minute info-dump introduced in the last hour.
>>
>>291432513
why introduce it if you're not gonna show it?
>>
>>291432027
I forgot how heavy handed the series got with the chakra mechas at this point

it's kinda weird kankuro and gaara never did anything cool for each other with how much emphasis this series puts on brotherhood

>>
>>291432750
The random panels of Jugo just existing somewhere crack me the fuck up.
>>
>>291432747
Kankuro once tried to "fight" Sasori to save Gaara.
>>
>>291432787
and he was utterly humiliated. he doesn't even get to tagalong to save gaara. the mission is completed by people who have nothing to do with gaara instead + naruto whining about him + lee who says nothing about him + chiyo who was introduced just to sacrifice herself for gaara.
it was really shitty from an emotional standpoint for me.
>>
>>291432750
He only exists to peddle nature chakra to Sasuke who would otherwise be completely worthless.
It's more than you can say about the rest of the team I guess.
>>
>>291432954
I'll ask again
Did Sasuke's sage Susanoo achieve ANYTHING? It feels like you could completely take it out of the arc and nothing would change.
>>
>>291432747
I think even Sakon and Ukon had a better brotherly bond than Gaara and Kankuro did.
>>

Our HERO Suigetsu is the deliverer of Orochimaru and the Hokage

>>

that part makes it boring. the frog powers were unique and had cool jutsu, the snake shit was spammed by Orochimaru and Sasuke and then Kabuto got a solo king fight... what do slugs have? their contribution was telling Naruto that Pain nuked the village and heal nobodies when meteorites drop out of the sky. no creativity, Tsunade and Sakura have nothing

Yes, if she needs that much chakra to be summoned whole then she must be really powerful.

>>291434041
lol
>>
>>291437210
Nagato was more philosophical, speaking of the inevitability of conflict and war, because human nature, etc. Obito is just saying "dude I'm literally you but 15 years older don't you get it? the world sucks!!"
>>
I fucking love Naruto, I don't care what anyone says.
>>
>>291437714
>dude I'm literally you but 15 years older don't you get it?
I always found this dynamics of theirs to be really forced and retarded.
Sure, Naruto and Obito are similar in the sense they were both hyperactive kids and they both wanted to be hokage at some point, but that's about it. Obito doesn't have a similar past to Naruto's who was ostracized and hated by the villagers because of the nine tails inside him, which is the main reason he wanted to become hokage and get acknowledged. Obito didn't share the same struggle Naruto went through, unlike someone like Gaara. People try to headcanon that he was ostracized by the village for being an Uchiha, but that's not true, considering how he was getting along with the elderly, and how he said he knew all the old people in Konoha.

I wonder if Kishi, with the time skip, realized early on that fujobaiting was the way to go. And if that's why he stopped giving a fuck about female characters entirely who, while not the most well done in part 1, became completely and utterly useless for the remainder of the manga.
>>
>>291430781
why is Katsuyu specifically so big and powerful? if 10% of her is capable of matching a tailed beast in strength, a full 100% Katsuyu should be above Kaguya in strength. that's nonsensical.
>>
>>291438406
>if 10% of her is capable of matching a tailed beast
Nah
>>
>>291431384
he'll do it, but he'll transform into a bloke to try and seduce Tsunade or someone even though his normal form is far more appealing to her
>>
>>291438291
They were more useless in part 1. Kishi is just gay.
>>
>>291433158
>big hands
what do you think?
>>
>>291438432
>standard 5% Katsuyu from Tsunade Search arc was level with (or possibly stronger than) Gamabunta
>Gamabunta was more or less level with Shukaku, a tailed beast

I just find it funny that a random slug summon is stronger than the 6 tailed Slug Tailed Beast. maybe if Kishi had had the foresight to say she was related to Hashirama (maybe he gave Katsuyu his chakra when he died which is what turned her into a giant beast or something) and give her wood release, it would make more sense.

i never found nagato or obito that compelling of foil characters either. and generally i preferred the series when it didn't shove surface level politics in my face.
i guess there are a couple cool things about these characters but i just think they were poorly executed.
>>
any actual obito fans here who could make a compelling argument for why his character is good? besides his abilities tying into his personality, i just don't get the appeal of him. his white mask design looks cool i guess?
>>
>>291439217
Nagato,Obito and Konan are three of the worst characters in the series.

Part 2's writing on women is on both extremes, on one had, it has more non fodder women, on the other hand the expectations are not only higher for them so it's more frustrating when they job like in part 1 but there's also Mei's whole "character".
>>
>>291439882
>it has more non fodder women
It has Granny Chiyo and Sasori fight Sakura and nothing else. If anything, I'd say part 2's sexism is many times worse with how many times the women actually attempt to do something but are actively prevented by characters or the story itself from doing so. I still remember Ino during the Suppression arc being told off verbally by Shikamaru for trying to be useful and actually do something.
>>
>>291439942
Is that really that different from Ino being a detriment to the team when they fought team Dosu?
Or when none of the girls were even considered for the retriaval arc because they had no significant improvements to help?
>>
Btw, Kishimoto probably made Hanabi female because he felt like Hinata losing to a boy wouldn't be humiliating enough.
>>
>>291440098
Absolutely. Part 1's Konoha girls were inexperienced 12 year olds that lived through peacetime and hadn't yet know what real dirty ninja work was like. It's fucked up that they're all much noticeably weaker and more useless than any of the boys, but Part 1 didn't set up the expectation that they were going to be more useful that P2 did.
The bigger issue is that all the woman outside of Konoha(besides Chiyo) are ALSO vapid, annoying, or otherwise worthless damsels constantly dragging their teams down. Mei, Konan's off-screen capture leading to Nagito's death, everything to do with Karen, Samui being the first one to job to the stupid Gold and Silver brothers, everything to do with Rin, etc.

Part's 1 sexism is bad but not unsurprising, considering it's a manga made for young boys about ninjas. Part 2's sexism is actually and actively gross because of how clear Kishimoto makes it that he has real and tangible problems with women as a whole.
>>
>>291440242
Temari is still impressive in part 2 despite how little time she has.
>>
you have to at least admit mei having trouble finding a partner is ridiculous. she'd be the most valuable woman in the village.
>>
>>291440281
I guess, but it's hampered that most of her time in Part 2 is fellating Shikamaru.
>>
>>291440281
She did virtually nothing, although I guess managing to wound the Third Raikage is impressive.
>>
>>291437210
Pain's speech and ideology was something that Naruto had never confronted up until that point plus Pain had real, genuine grievances with the world and went through suffering that doesn't pale in comparison to Naruto's.
Obito's just a loser yapping about how the world is worthless because his childhood crush died
>>
>>291440242
>Nagito's death
You mean Yahiko.
>>
>>291440381
Yahiko, my mistake. Thank you.
>>
>>291440286
Maybe the idea is that Mei has really HIGH standards but this is neverly really implied.
>>
>>291440281
she doesn't get to do anything. part 1 was better for her with her one shottimg tayuya and tard wrangling gaara.
>>
>>291440417
if it was ever implied, then it would be fine, but it never is so her story makes no sense.
gaara can have fangirls fighting over him for being the most valuable man in his village but NO ONE wants mei?
>>
>That time when Ino's entire team were calling her an idiot for using her ONE move against Sakura
>When Tenten comments that Temari's simple gust of wind that Shikamaru casually tanks is what defeated her off-screen
>When Tsunade mentions that Sakura spent all her days visiting Sasuke in the hospital instead of training, basically being Kishimoto's way of telling the audience she's still useless
Tetsuo Hara had Mamiya's arc be just a glorified way of telling her to remain in the kitchen and that still somehow fells less sexist than what Kishimoto wrote will all his females.
>>
>>291440507
*with
Not will, FUCK!
>>
If you think this is bad, wait until you see how Kishi wrote girls in Squid 8, that was his pure and unfiltering writing of the female gender.

Lol

>>291440598

Tenchi bridge was a fucking disaster
>>
>>291439942
>>291440671
Kishimoto had a bit of a habit of having a female character say something or want to do something and be shut down by a male character. I remember Kakashi doing this to Sakura during the preliminaries, I think, whenever she would cheer or want to jump down after someone had a brutal loss, but didn't do shit whenever Naruto did it and didn't scold him at all.
>>
>>291440972
it was.
>>
>>291435506
Yes. This is the god damn apocalypse. Every single stop imaginable should be pulled out. Fuck, the allied forces should be training some of their Shinobi to perform the Edo Tensei and resurrecting anyone they possibly can using Zetsus clones/condemned criminals. Why wouldn't they? It's the end of the fucking world if they lose. If they can get a slug 10x that size there, get it. Have every Shinobi take a summoning contract with Snakes, Slugs, and Frogs ASAP. Do everything imaginable.
>>
>>291439270
I liked Tobi for the gag character mystery. Went down hill after Deidara got done dirty. I was also very disappointed he was a kamui merchant until the rinniegan, where he did nothing but spam fire balls and shurikens. And no, standing around while having edos fight for you doesn't make it any better. And now he just spams black goo.
>>
>>291440671
>inos look of defeat
KEK
>>
>>291439270
He's an actual evil Naruto unlike the others who are just vaguely like him or share one as him. Obito is more of the full deal.
>>
>>291441059
>And no, standing around while having edos fight for you doesn't make it any better
The Edo Tensei ruins the manga so fucking bad. And now that it's been revealed that you can just sacrifice Zetsus clones, there's not even a moral reason to not do it. The Edo Tensei and the Jinchuriki system may be tied for the worst, most manga destroying plot points in the whole damn thing.
>>
>>291441151
>Edo Tensei and the Jinchuriki system may be tied for the worst, most manga destroying plot points in the whole damn thing.
zetsu and kaguya exist too though.
>>
Honestly, at this point, I'm just fucking confused as to why they're having a ninja war in the first place if everything is going to be started and solved entirely by Konoha's Hokage and their family, with the rest of the world being set-dressing and extras at best with no bearing on if the battle is going to be won or not.
>>
>>291441196
I think the whole war is just so every shinobi alive can witness and then wank Naruto.
>>
>>291441059
Based Tobi enjoyer
>>
>>291441188
Kaguya comes in the last what, 20 chapters? It's retarded as fuck and is a lame final villain, but it's not as bad as the Edo Tensei being ever present but never used because "muh morals", and the 5,000,000 plotholes that spawn from the Jinchuriki system is horrible too.
>>
>>291441196
Because Kishi didn't even begin to develop the other 4 nations until chapter 500.
>>
>>291441059
would he have been more interesting for you if he stayed a gag character?

>>291441146
okay. there's that. but the execution suffers from all the weird choices of the war arc, making him a poor scheming mastermind who was behind everything until it's revealed he was manipulated, and making him obsessed with rin is a weird choice. but maybe it makes sense from the perspective of "she was all he had".
>>
>>291441309
>would he have been more interesting for you if he stayed a gag character
More interesting? No. Better then what we got? Yeah
>>
>>291441309
>Obito was good with everyone and even helped the elderly
>But he somehow had no family, friends or loved ones until Rin even among his own fucking clan
Convoluted shit.
>>
>>291441290
zetsu at least retroactively ruins past arcs and villains because he was manipulating things so asura's and indra's reincarnations would always fight. obito manipulating yagura ruins the worldbuilding for the mist village too.
and kaguya is just a pointless villain. should've just let madara be the final boss. even naruto vs. sasuke felt kinda tacked on.
>>
why do battle shonen almost always have shitty endings?
>>
>>291441359
Obito didn't grow up with parents like Naruto (the anime showed him living with his grandmother) and he might've not been close with the clan.
>>
>>291441272
oh my god... this is probably right. also so naruto could project his homo lust and feelings into everyone's minds. as if, the shinobi world isn't fucked and everyone wasn't constantly already shouldering their own hardships...
>>
>>291441473
Obito being an orphan is a last minute addition that hasn't even been introduced yet because Kishimoto realized Obito's tragic sobstory is still fucking lame.
>>
>>291441389
Because the idea is to blow your load early to hook readers into a sunk cost relationship.
>>
>>291441512
i hate how he has to keep retvonning things because even he realizes they aren't good enough. like naruto's and sasuke's friendship too.
>>
>>291441512
He wasn't said to have parents in the Kakashi Gaiden. So you can't really call it retcon if there was no information to begin with on the subject.
>>
>>291441478
It shouldn't even matter anyway because not only did only half if every major village's forces were in this fight, but the minor villages weren't involved at all.
>>
>>291441389
They're never planned out
>>
>>291441532
If Kishi always had in mind that Obito lost his parents (presumingly in a war) then it's even worse that he only started to care about how shitty the world is when RIN dies.
He doesn't even see value in holding the memory of them besides one photo that happens to be close to his collection of Rin photos that were more than likely taken without her consent.
>>
>>291441532
Do you also believe Tenten doesn't have parents since Kishimoto never implied that she has them?
>>
>>291441735
He didn't even know his parents, but he did know Rin.
>>
>>291430786
That's a fat slug.
>>
>>291440281
Her and I guess Tsunade are the only female characters with some merit. I'd say Sakura since she is decently strong, but honestly the plot just embarrassed her at the end. Esp that Kaguya part..just lmao

**Podcast Title: The General’s Basement**
**Episode 1: "The Eternal Loop of Page 402"**

*(The audio starts with a loud, distorted bass-boosted version of a Naruto OST that cuts off abruptly into dead silence.)*

**Fagkon:** "And that is why the 4th Great Ninja War was actually a sociological commentary on the failure of the public school system in the Hidden Leaf. Welcome back to the pod. I’m Fagkon, and across from me is a man who has spent the last three years trying to report my posts for 'spam' despite the fact that I am the only one keeping the general alive."

**Sasukejeet:** "I’m not trying to report you, Fagkon. I am trying to *cull* you. There is a difference between moderation and biological warfare, though in your case, your posting habits are a war crime."

**Fagkon:** "See, this is the problem with the New Gen. You think 'culling' a thread is a strategic move. I’ve survived three board wipes and a server migration. I am the bedrock. I am the foundation of the /anim/ general. I am the ghost in the machine."

**Sasukejeet:** "You aren't a ghost, you're a glitch. Every time I enter the general, I see the same three paragraphs you’ve posted since 2014. It’s like entering a room and finding the same piece of moldy bread on the floor every single day. Why do you keep posting the 'Truth about Itachi's Eye-Care Routine'?"

**Fagkon:** "Because the masses are blind, Sasukejeet! They see a Sharingan and they think 'power.' I see a Sharingan and I think 'chronic dry-eye.' If the Uchiha had invested in a good humidifier, the massacre would have been avoided. It’s basic health science."
>>
**Sasukejeet:** "You are interpreting a genocidal blood- feud as a lack of moisture in the air. This is why the general is dying. We are discussing the metaphysics of the soul, and you are talking about humidifiers."

**Fagkon:** "Metaphysics is just a fancy word for 'I don't have a source link.' I have sources. I have threads from 2009 where people actually understood the nuance of the Leaf’s zoning laws. But you? You just want to 'destroy' the general. You want a clean slate. You’re a minimalist. A coward."

**Sasukejeet:** "I am not a minimalist; I am a sanitation worker. I want to burn the general to the ground so that a new, untainted conversation can begin—one that doesn't involve your 4,000-word essays on why Naruto’s orange jumpsuit is a fashion crime against humanity."

**Fagkon:** "It *is* a crime! It’s visually aggressive! It’s the equivalent of screaming 'LOOK AT ME' while wearing a neon sign. It’s psychologically damaging to the other characters. Sasuke’s angst isn't just family trauma; it’s a reaction to Naruto’s color palette!"

**Sasukejeet:** "Do you ever stop? Do you ever just... not project your weird obsession with laundry and interior design onto a manga about ninjas?"

**Fagkon:** "That’s the 'OP perspective,' my friend. While you’re playing checkers, trying to 'destroy' the thread, I’m playing 4D chess, maintaining the ecosystem. If I stop posting, the general collapses. I am the load-bearing wall of this forum."

**Sasukejeet:** "You aren't a load-bearing wall. You're the termite eating the house. I can't wait for the day the mods finally ban you. It will be the most peaceful moment in the history of the internet."

**Fagkon:** "They can’t ban me. I’ve already created fourteen alt accounts. I am a hydra, Sasukejeet. For every post you report, two more 'Truth about Itachi' threads shall rise."

**Sasukejeet:** "God help us all. I'm ending the recording."

**Fagkon:** "Wait! Before you do, do you want
