Nigger masters an S-rank jutsu in the first damn episode of the series, uses it brilliantly and continues to get more OP moves (summons that rival tailed beasts power and another s-rank jutsu).
It isn't even the kurama chackra that carries him you speed reader, he has Uzumaki nearly infinite chackra. Way to miss the point.
He even made his on take on the lion's barrage after seeing it just once. Mentally retarded but a battle genius
>>
>>223475231
No. They repeatedly make it a point that Naruto is a genius of hard work and that he’s not gifted he just doesn’t give up/stop trying. The producers and the hack “fan” director have obviously already misunderstood the material
>>
>>223475336
He is a descendant of one of the most OP clans, a indirect descendant of the senju clan, the founders of the village, son of the 4th hokage, third only to Hashirama Senju and mandara, holder of the strongest tailed beast, reincarnation of one son of ninja Jesus, and all his hardwork is finding a way to make his training easier with clones.

Zoomers don't like hard work or being reminded that they have to start from not knowing and work towards knowing a thing. Politely pointing out they have to learn something makes them feel bad, not even joking. The whole shonenjump genre will probably lose popularity in the west soon if it hasn't already

Your a retard who didn't understand the implications of season 1. He mastered a tough Jutsu through determination, through reps. Not by being gifted, by practice and effort. That is a HUGE distinction that is central to his character.

Nigga shadow clones are not "a tough jutsu", it is a kill yourself jutsu, Naruto mastered it because he has basically infinite chakra pools, anyone else would basically kill themselves by Chakra depletion.
Everything else he masters precisely because shadow clones are basically a learning hack

You can’t even name Mizuki and you’re trying to convince me you know more?

>>
>>223475854
Shadow clones are a forbidden jutsu not because they are harder to make but because they more expensive to make, essentially splitting your chakra per clone, and any time one gets defeated any and all chakra used on them is lost.
So in terms of how hard they are to make, it is still a easy to learn jutsu, just one you should not learn

People who think naruto wasn't canonically a gifted ninja must have watched all the filler, never read the manga, and got confused by that.
Naruto was always noted for being exceptionally gifted, but the fox prevented him from controlling his chakra correctly. The fact he was able to learn shadow clones, and so fast at that, is a great evidence point. People twice his level literally get fucked up and/or die just reading the scroll.

Naruto already is an exceptionally gifted ninja canonically. The only reason he struggled at the beginning was because he lacked a teacher, parent, or mentor to help him. It didn't help that the village outright hated him, so teachers had no incentive to help him.
But once Naruto DID get some people that gave a damn about him in his life, his potential immediately skyrocketed. He learned Shadow Clone Jutsu in a night, he learned tree walking in the exact same amount of time that it took a giga prodigy like Sasuke to do it, and he learned Rasengan in a week, a feat thought to be impossible.

As the story progressed, we also learned that the Kyuubi was actually fucking up Naruto's chakra control. The Kyuubi exponentially increased Naruto's chakra, but lorewise, the more chakra you have, the harder it is to control your chakra. Kakashi even spells this out in the manga. Which would explain why he couldn't pass the Jutsu required for the Genin Graduation Exam. Those Jutsu called for a level of chakra control that was impossible for Naruto to pull off without chakra control training. No one gave a damn about Naruto enough to notice this.

After training with Jiraya for three years, Naruto's melee capabilities were on par with Kakashi's, a top tier jonin.

In a week, Naruto perfected the Rasengan, something that Minato, Jiraya, and Kakashi were all incapable of doing, even though every single one of them is also a prodigy.

In a week, Naruto learned and perfected Sage Mode, a feat that Minato and Jiraya were both incapable of doing.

By the final arc, Naruto was casually making new jutsu on the fly. He would raise his hand, form a Rasengan, and then casually mix it with a new element to create new Rasengan variants, which again, is freakishly hard to do, because Minato, Jiraya, and Kakashi couldn't do this with literal years of training.
>>
>>223475547

>>223475116
>He is carried by the Kyubi's chakra.
If you remove the Kyuubi from Naruto, then Naruto will have a normal chakra pool, which means his chakra control won't be fucked up when he's a child.

More importantly if you take the Kyuubi from Naruto, then you have to follow that chain of events to it's logical conclusion: Naruto is alive and he doesn't have the Kyuubi sealed inside of him, which would also imply that Minato and Kushina are ALSO alive because that's the only possible way you can get a timeline where Naruto isn't the Nine Tails Jinchuriki.

With Minato and Kushina alive, Naruto will get top of the line training from two of the best shinobi alive on the planet. And while Naruto wouldn't be as strong as his canon self, he'd still easily be an S Tier ninja, especially because canon Naruto is already a prodigy even without Minato's tutelage. See >>223477959 where I explain why.

It was a pretty important theme in the story, definitely top 3 if not top 2. The majority of side characters literally existed to propose scenarios for the writer to conclude on the matter. Gaara is an example of pure talent, whereas lee is an example of pure effort. Naruto is an example of 90% talent and 10% effort. Pink bitch is 30% talent, 70% effort. The triplet squad was 10% talent, 90% effort, but compensated by teamwork.

Naruto was born a genius, he's the descendant of the one who created the world as they know it, the Biju (tailed demons) and chakra too, along with SasuGAY.
turns out hard work doesn't mean shit without good genes (see : Rock Lee, Tenten and Sakura).
>>
>>223480159
>choosing to cast asian actors in a live-action adaptation of a japanese manga is culture war bs
It is because the characters in the show clearly don't look asian. You being an ignorant and disingenuous moron doesn't change that.

they made him a prodigy with the gates thing, pretty much every named character has some super special talent
>>
>>223478019
No one asked.
>>
>>223481046
No, anyone can do the gates thing. Nobody does it because it means you kill yourself to do this. He had to resort to this just to keep up because he had infinite hard work and no talent. End result: he got crippled for life and he got lucky to even get that, in an encounter that, ultimately, was basically minor.
>>
>>223481046
Rock Lee fucked his body permanently in the manga, he never truly recovered and was still weaker than his enemies because he couldn't defend against mind technics or magic users (i mean chakra).
same deal with Tenten, summoning weapons COOL ! but useless against magic users.
Sakura is very strong, okay bro but still not enough against magic users.
oh and if you pay attention, every name character that is very strong comes from an old family (like Hinata, Kiba, Ino, etc...)
and at the end of the manga, Tenten becomes a wagie with no husband, Rock Lee is forever alone and Sakura becomes the ultimate wage slave also.
the rest gets comfy gubbermint jobs except Ino with the flower shop.
>>
>>223475116
And the only reason he can even be carried by nine tails chakra is because hes an Uzumaki, even without getting into all the retarded late stage Shippuden bullshit, he is a highly GIFTED kid.

Being gifted and a lazy bum are not mutually exclusive.
>>
>>223481772
And the archetype of lazy but gifted was represented in 2 main characters: hinata's brother (that's the official narrative but I think that's a bit arguable), and especially gaara. The story of naruto concludes that gifted + hard worker > gifted >>>> garbage >>>>>>>> hardest worker in the universe > normalfags
>>
>>223474232
pretty sure they mean an alternate universe to ours, not the series
>>
>>223481840
Our universe doesn't have magic, so that part is already implied. Alternate definitely means the series and it's a way of saying expect to see things that are outside of the established canon. Just like how the MCU movies are separate from the 616 universe.
>>
>>223479447
>>223479447
How do you think this disproves Naruto being gifted?

First of all this is Orochimarus scientist perspective, mastering every jutsu in existence is not in fact the standard for who is and isnt talented.

A regular kid would not be able to learn the rasengan at such a young age, become sage at like 16, invent his own jutsu that literally destroys its target on a cellular level and this is without even getting into late stage Shippuden bullshittery. Most people just didn't comprehend how absurd Narutos chakra reserves are probably until he became Hokage.
>>
>>223481817
He becomes a hard worker later but early on he very much is a total bum that sleeps through classes
>>
>>223481966
Not true, even from the start he is noted for being studious and very good at everything in theory and practice except for one: chakra control. He is also seen relentlessly practicing chakra control and almost managed to do regular cloning even despite his condition as a result. It's also why he was able to learn shadow clones, and it was later noted that just knowing the technique isn't remotely enough to learn it. They imply it also requires both hard work and talent.

Guy himself says these things, retard.
>>
>>223482394
he isn't crippled for life but his body has been weakened when he used the gate too much, he can't do that anymore or he'll die for real this time.
he successfully got the surgery to fix his body but it won't work again, he only had 58% chances of surviving it to begin with.

>>223482009
he wasn't originally bad at chakra control, it's just that Kyubi's chakra doesn't mix well with his chakra so it couldn't work like normal.
>>
>>223479447
I get what you say anon, but unfortunately Kishi couldn't fucking help himself and Naruto ended up being basically a descendant of a deity, Uzumakis being blessed with unnatural vitality and chakra reserves.
That doesn't mean he didn't work hard, and there was a period of time when Fox outright crippled his progress and Naruto had to find workarounds. He was also a combat genius who defeated third Raikage with a single shadow clone.

But that kinda mirrors real life and ambition of kids, doesn't it. Kiba kept spamming that he will become Hokage, but he never really put any effort in. He got married and had a kid, and is quite comfy, but he is like that 40 years old guy who won't shut the fuck up about his high school football.

Guy can do summoning jutsu, limited clone jutsu, some fire style ninjutsu and he can dispel advanced genjutsu. He just focused on taijutsu the most, while Lee simply couldn't do it at all.
Also Lee never trained as hard as Guy.
>>
>>223482568
>this shit again
Sakura is perfectly fine, she was mean ONCE as a kid but as for the rest, Naruto used to be a little creepy pervert that kept pressuring Sakura to be his GF, even though she said no many times and wanted to get SasuGAY instead, she made it clear lots of times but the little retard kept insisting.
truth is Naruto was never even in love with Sakura, he only viewed her as a sex partner, he was never really deeply interested in her personality, this is obvious in many chapters where he only sees Sakura's body and not the rest.
meanwhile Hinata kept fawning over him and he didn't even notice.
Sakura was just a normalfag girl in this series, she just thought he was a pretty annoying perverted kid, so why should she accept his dumb advances ?
Narutards are always mad towards Sakura even though she stayed loyal to SasuGAY till the end (yeah i know, woman moment).

I can see why villagers could feel fear or hostility towards Naruto, but Third letting them do it is something else.
'Hey, let's mistreat this walking nuke and our only deterrent'.
Unfortunately, when this patern of behavior repeats itself consistently with Hiruzen, it stops being writing mistakes and it becomes his character. He neglects Naruto, his disciples are nothing to write home about, and he allowed glownigger faction to run fucking rampant through entire village, leading to an extinction of entire clan purely thanks to gayops.

Again with the Shippuden nigger revisionism

Hirizen gave Naruto his own pent house suite in the downtown village center. It is implied he never had to pay rent. His room was big (for Japanese standards) and clean except when he came back from long ass missions. And the reason why he ate ramen and milk is because that’s all he wanted. Drinking expired milk was an amusing accident for one comedy episode. Jesus fucking Christ. I know Hiruzen could’ve had a babysitter for him, but part 1 of Naruto shows how brutal and old-world everything is. Did you all want Hiruzen holding Naruto’s hand through the academy as well?

Know your history. Previous Japanese generations were well known for neglecting children of mixed heritage, to the point where some died. He was treated like a war baby.

>Among the headstones, there is a monument to the unnamed dead also buried there including, it is said, more than 800 mixed race children abandoned during the postwar Occupation, whose fathers were foreign servicemen.

>Commentators predicted the children would show low intelligence and a tendency to antisocial behavior. In fact, the IQ scores of those in family situations were on a par with the average Japanese, and delinquency was the result of social prejudice and socioeconomic disadvantage, not genetics.

Lots of period piece anime incorporate social norms of the era but with a twist. Naruto is essentially a mystical post-WWII story about a GI baby struggling to be accepted.

naruto was always gifted even without the fox. its really that he was poor and didn't have parents.
its actually about wealth as once his parents died nobody in the village actually gave a shit.
sasuke had his parents and itachi for a bit
jiraya shows up and takes a slight interest in him and all of a sudden he actually learns.

Yes, in order for Rasengan to be perfected you need to use clones, Minato and Jiraya were wrong.
>>
>>223484399
But he's saying that Naruto didn't inherit his parent's exceptional abilities, the things they could do that set them apart from everyone else. Large chakra reserves are a default Uzumaki ability, not something that Kushina had that made her unique.
>>
>>223481941
>How do you think this disproves Naruto being gifted?
Because the story presents the discussion between Jiraiya and Orochimaru as being truthful and genuine. Jiraiya literally agrees with Orochimaru in regards to Naruto being talentless, and the whole Tsunade arc keep treating Naruto as some ungifted loser compared to the Fourth who mastered the rasengan.
If you want to say that the story is shit and inconsistent in regards with how talented Naruto is, then that's fine, but the fans who keep acting like the story never tried to glorify Naruto as some talentless underdog who needs to work hard are just disingenuous and retarded.

What was the point of giving Naruto a genetically huge chakra pool on top of giving him the magic demon upgrade that gives him a huge chakra pool? It would be like saying that the Uchiha actually have 20/20 vision and superhuman reflexes even without the sharingan, the fuck is the purpose?
>>
>>223479447
Naruto's talents aren't immediately obvious. At base he has Uzumaki chakra levels, but you never get an idea of how huge that would be because he was with Kurama since day 1. Beyond that Naruto is literally a retard that barely understands anything about ninjutsu or even the village he wants to be hokage of. I would argue Naruto is rather untalented, he's a fraud living off Kurama's handouts and later Asura's.

I think that's the point where Kishimoto was out of ideas but he just wanted to keep milking the franchise because he knew it was printing money. It really should have ended with the Pain arc. Nagato resurrecting everyone was already a huge asspull that was sort of pushing it, but it's the kind of thing you could get away with if you were ending the story there. Instead we got
>Dude but like, what if, um, KABUTO, remember Kabuto, the creepy guy who hung out with Orochimaru, what if he, like, brought everyone back as zombies. Like EVERYONE. It's like a clip show, we can bring back all the old characters and have them fight.

>>223485836
That's just a retcon though, nothing from the first decade+ of the series even remotely implies that having a large chakra pool is a prerequisite to be a Jinchuriki.
>>
>>223473765
So Boruto?
>>
>>223485668
So has potential to be godlike on his own in addition to fox magic. Also fits his character, He's a high energy idiot, lots of potential, doesn't know how to use it, gets by on dumb brute force and determination which is why he can do shadow clones early on, just keeps dumping energy till it works.

>Also fits his character, He's a high energy idiot, lots of potential, doesn't know how to use it, gets by on dumb brute force and determination which is why he can do shadow clones early on, just keeps dumping energy till it works.
Which is ALL explained by the fact that he has the nine-tailed fox. Literally none of this requires him to have super DNA on top of that.
>>
>>223486258
*Oh and again, on top of all this his dad was the Fourth Hokage. He was already naturally mega-talented, and his signature jutsu is literally something his dad invented. So this is just adding another layer of superhuman potential on top of his already superhuman potential on top of his demon buddy hanging out in his belly. It would be like if Dragonball Z revealed that Goku wasn't just a Super Saiyan, he was a Super Super Duper Saiyan from the secret extra Saiyan planet where the Saiyans are even stronger than other Saiyans.

No, that was Naruto. It was "Rasenshuriken" iirc, it was when he learned to infuse the wind element into his rasengan. It was also when Kishimoto introduced the idea that by using Shadow Clones, you could learn an entire years' worth of knowledge in an hour, (Naruto powerlevels the elemental training process in about a week by using hundreds of clones) which launched an entire genre of annoying fanfictions where he's like a turbo genius before the Wave Arc because he sent 2,000 clones to the local library or had them practice karate or whatever.

I only watched a bit of the show but wasn't Naruto a genuinely gifted ninja who only fucked up so much because of chakra-twisting bullshit they put on him as a kid to stop the demon coming out?

>he wasn't originally bad at chakra control, it's just that Kyubi's chakra doesn't mix well with his chakra so it couldn't work like normal.
Correct. It is said a few times that without the kyuubi, he would have had no problems at all. Later, it is also said that he acquires chakra control very quickly, when he's "allowed" to do more with it. The problem is nobody told him what was going on and they just let him flounder around for no reason.

>>223482540
This is wrong. Only Rock Lee can't use these. Might can, he just thought taijutsu was more fun and maxxed it out. This is the reason Might can be feared while Rock is worthless (Might's own implicit but very clear words).

Wrong, he could do all jutsus that didn't require complex chakra manipulation. This is very explicitly stated. Not only that, he almost managed to do the most difficult (for him) without even knowing what's going on with him and why he has it so hard. The things he learn later, he has to do on fuckall timeline to avoid being killed or many people dying, which is why his masters think or even say that he's clearly a genius.

>>223478857
Kishi has said the series was about the importance of bonds. friendship, family, love, clans, villages. the connections we all share. only dimwits look at Neji v Naruto and extrapolate it to the series as a whole.
>>
>>223479447
Naruto's main message USED to be hard work vs. talent but the tourists who found the series only after it was complete breezed through all the material that was hammering that theme into the audience's head and thought the later retcons where it turned out Naruto was ninja Jesus all along are the point.
>>
>>223474401
it's not advanced, it's highly dangerous. every clone you make halves your current chakra. so, with one clone you've got 50% and with two clones you're at 25%, and so on. this renders normal users mostly ineffective as combatants and it can outright kill them if they don't watch how many they make. Naruto doesn't have this problem because Kurama gives him the equivalent of an entire army's worth of chakra to draw from, so he can make dozens and dozens of clones without even noticing the hit to his chakra levels.

Naruto's problem with normal academy-style clones is they require delicate chakra control to maintain, which Naruto doesn't have. he was just brute forcing it by dumping far more chakra into the jutsu than was necessary, which caused it to not work. with shadow clones that's what makes the jutsu work, though.

her turbo thundercunt personality is precisely what they want girls to act like. expect them to make her save the boys lives, and also expect them to make Hinata into a girlboss too.
>>
>>223489187
In Boruto he has 4 permanent shadow clones active throughout entire day to do necessary work in the village, to the point where his closest cannot tell the difference.
It is safe to say it is his most impressive, signature technique. Even Sasuke on top of his game could make only around a dozen clones.
>>
>>223489133
What kishi wanted and what kishi delivered are not the same thing. The only time bonds and clans came into the picture was when people inherited special snowflake talent blood. The only time villages came into the picture was about secret techniques folded over a thousand times. Absolutely no connection was of any importance in the story. Naruto did not get strong because a friend helped him, or because he loved sakura. In fact, he even had to fetch his own masters or be thrown at some to get anywhere. The few people who did have bonds were consistently extremely weak, trying to cope by ganging up on people, and failing.

>>
>>223489251
my point was it's chakra limits that determine how many you can create and not get yourself killed, not ninjutsu skill. it's like throwing a hand grenade; anyone can do it theoretically but if you fuck up you'll blow yourself up.
