>>279723334>>279723358>>279723387>>279723417>out of the story for 3 arcs or so arcs>his comeback makes him suffer even moreWtf Kishi
>>279723334>you're not cut out to be a shinobi.>I mean, you can use neither nin- or genjutsu. What were you even thinking?
>>279723417>I can heal you, but there's a drawback ... you'll return as a jobber. with barely any panels.
>>279723417>Even if it is a success you'll be incapacitated for a long timetsunade really underestimating her own abilities there
>>279723499is that a nara-clansmember in the last panel?
>>279723483All I can think about is that cuck cage he's behind during the finals.
>>279723315Guy loves anguish.
>>279723334>You're not cut out to be a recurring character.
>>279723387>>279723417As if Lee giving up on his dream is even a choice. He's already put his life on the line for his dream of being a shinobi multiple times, why would this time be any different?
>>279723650These 2 panels are enough to remain in the top 10 of the popularity poll btw
>>279723702sakura, the femcel ignored by chad
>>279723769>ApplesSAKURA NO THAT'S HIS TRIGGER FRUIT
This parallel looks familiar except less gruesome.
>>279723769apples? the best she can do after he was in a coma for weeks?
no wonder sasukes not into her
he probably wanted some steak. not this vegetarian shit.

Tomorrow: Feelings...!
>>279723837He wanted tomatoes
>>279723734Oh, he ain't a Chad right now...
>>279723559>>279723593>>279723617MY HERO
and Asuma, Ino, and a guy names Shikamaru I guess
>>279723559I hate this fat retard so much. He's so unfunny and annoying whenever he's onscreen.
>>279723702CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN
>>279723897Looking forward to reading this arc, I've only watched the anime adaptation of it, but I loved it.
>>279723702>>279723805>Sitting in bed all day with fucking sakura hovering all over youSasuke's a cunt but I can't blame him for going full schizo here
>>279723897>more Oro wankTake a fucking break, Jesus
The girl is just trying to be wife material.
>>279723714Do japs only like him because fujos pair him with Kakashi? He's already been replaced by Jiraiya as a father figure for Naruto.
Also popularity polls are always so fucking shit. It almost always feels like they're botted by people with trash taste.
>>279723805Sakura really looks like a terrible character for constantly chasing after this asshole.
>>279723980If only Tsunade had stayed around in his room to soothe his mommy issues with her giant ara ara tits, he might have remained sane.
Instead the flatness he was subjected to drove him to insanity. Sad.
>>279723897Goddamn that whiplash with the shading.
>>279724009I'd much rather have this over the retarded Uchiha wank. At least the Sound Four are a lot more fun and unique.
>>279723897tayuya simp will go crazy over this
>>279724062Early Part 2 is like development but then the Summit regresses her.
>>279723897>my pedo senses are tingling. The time is NOW
ok but seriously why did kishi decide to basically remove lee from the story and give all his story relevance to guy instead
>>279723387>>279723417Kishimoto's expressions are astounding these always stuck with me. Medical diagnosis are very big life events I wonder if he had one/in his family
>>279724605Guy is better.
>>279723897ENTER!
Thanks Op
>>279724026>He's already been replaced by Jiraiya as a father figure for Naruto.ahonestly that scene seemed to me better than Jiraya's giving him a sweet, simply because in the context Jiraya was an absolute jerk, especially with the hindsight, like Hiruzen.
>>279724770No, the sweet scene was perfect. Tough love and rigor
>>279724643I don't know either, I much prefer Lee's design and character, but Guy is likable too. Maybe he could have let Guy take down Kisame, and just give Lee the 8 gates moment in the final arc, where he is acknowledged by Madara to be a fine shinobi? Which would complete his dream and character arc.
>>279724140>2 pump chump>Naruto can spam rasengan and clones all day longSasuke bros...
>>279723499Childhood is thinking Lee should take the surgery and keep training
Adulthood is understanding Tsunade is absolutely 100% right, because Lee is 12 and has his whole life ahead him to find something to do with it.
I'll just say Naruto is also at fault for taking Sauce's bait after he just woke up from a coma. Keep your priorities straight. No sparing on the rooftop, no rescue arc.
>>279724775Asuma's team is honestly really unlikable. Shikamaru feels too much like an asshole and a pretentious self-insert, Choji is an annoying retard and Ino is a Sakura clone.
It really is a shame that they were the characters that got explored the most besides the main team.
>>279723650>Iruka is now the third person in all of Konoha after Kakashi and Naruto that actually knows Kabuto was a spy for Orochimaru
>>279723650>and then I was dying on the floor choking on blood and he was still helping fight the other sanin
>>279724026Iruka was first. He changed everything.
Jiraiya was gooning in bathhouses before he met Naruto.

>>279723769I swear this single chapter was stretched out over like 10 episodes in the ani
>>279725376Isn't it weird how Kidomaru is the only one who still wears the pussy deflector
I thought the whole "sound village" was a ruse, is it really necessary to still wear its insignia?
>>279724970I always saw Guy calling him a splendid shinobi after his performance at the Prelims as his dream achieved.
>>279724605>lee>story relevanceWhat relevance? His roles in the story so far have been
>set the stage for Gaara vs Sasuke>set the stage for Neji vs Naruto>set up Guy as a teacher who's good at teaching the worst things to his students because he's either too stupid to see what everyone else is saying, or too soft to tell Lee the truth and keeps his false hopes upHe is only ever a gear in the plot device for others' character arcs
>>279723282 (OP)Hell yeah, I was waiting for this arc so long
>>279725504>good job Lee, you finally achieved your dream by crippling yourself fighting an actual genius who walked away unharmed
>team where all 3 genin are tracking specialists
>make their a leader be a genjutsu user
What was the logic behind this
>>279725643Hinata looking wonky there.
>>279725504I doubt Lee saw his dream as achieved, even if Guy told him that it was. He still wanted to prove himself.
>>279724026Iruka isn't a trash human being, unlike Jiraya
>>279723334>>279723358>>279723387>>279723417>get one good fight (admittedly the best in the series)>lose, proving your motto wrong>get crippled>get written out of the story for about 3 arcs>the surgery that can heal you will kill you if it fails>even when you're healed, you're still a jobber>get one comic relief fight where you're rescued by the guy who crippled you in the first place>more more relevance ever again>get overshadowed by your own senseiBeing Lee is suffering.
At least he got a spinoff. That's worth something, right?
>>279724062Sauce is probably one of the nicest kids in his year.

I was thinking the other day, Kishimoto should salvage Boruto by doubling down on time travel and turn it into isekaislop where Bort uses a Jougan Shinjutsu to send Naruto's consciousness back in time to the beginning of Part 1 Naruto, and have Naruto redo the entirety of the show. The show changes DRASTICALLY if Naruto convinces Kurama to help him.

Shit threads /10
>>279726005>>279726020Nice tree background but why did you post that
>>279725433You had a few filler episodes with Sasuke before he went evil then gets put into the hospital again by a guy with a lightning sword. Although the tragic part is that he actually contributed to beating the guy by cracking the sword with his Chidori but he didn't notice and instead thinks Naruto's Rasengan did 100% of the job.
>>279725817I honestly don't know which of Guy's team members had it worse.
>Lee suffered one of worst humiliation rituals in the whole manga>Tenten is the most insignificant character in the whole story, only exists because Lee and Neji needed a third team member>Neji died one of the most unnecessary and worthless deaths after being a completely useless character for the entirety of part 2
If you could add one more mission with Sasuke before he goes rogue, where would be the best place to put it?
>>279723559Why is Chouji wearing pantsu as a headband?
>>279723417Looking back, this was the perfect setup for Lee sacrificing himself. Open too many gates and you run the risk of outright dying anyway, so he could throw it all away for his friends in some big fight, and the threat of death would be nothing. There could even be some copout, the last arc had plenty, maybe opening all the gates dissolved the bone shards and hes fine now, I dunno, anything would be better than what he got. Lee deserved better and before you ask, YES my screen name was a reference to Rock Lee when I was 13, what does that have to do with anything?
>>279726286Iwa was the village that got explored the least out of the 5 main, so definitely there.
>>279723499Even THIS could have been a different turning point for Lee. Maybe he can't be a ninja, so maybe he becomes a normie like was shown last arc with the gambling town, paper bomb making, there's all kinds of ways to survive in Naruto world without being a ninjutsu user. 99% of ninjas prove irrelevant anyway by the final fights, so why not have Lee retire here as a ninja officially, maybe he opens a flower shop like Ino's parents, or a library, and shows up in the final arc with a dangerous flower or old spell from a book, fucking ANYTHING, it could even have been a cool message for kids about acknowledging your faults and weaknesses and not trying to force something you have no talent for. A five foot tall Chinese kid has no hope of playing in the NBA, the sooner he accepts that and finds his true path the better it will be for him.
But no, Lee gets all this fucking attention in Part 1 and then gets shit or less than shit for the rest of the series. Fuck Kishi.
>>279726328>Open too many gates and you run the risk of outright dying anyway, so he could throw it all away for his friends in some big fight, and the threat of death would be nothing.>His final fight with Kimiaro would mirror the fate of his opponent who also chose to die for his own ideals and for a person that he cared deeply aboutThat'd be pretty kino.
>>279723508>so... it's an upgrade?
>>279726421It's weird how Konoha's biggest enemy in the 3rd Ninja War didn't get expanded upon.
>>279726014Kishimoto has fuck all to do with the spinoff, dumbass
>>279723702FOOLISH LITTLE BROTHER
imagine if naruto and sasuke actually switched places
>>279725643Makes sense that the Hyuga would want Hinata learning under a jonin that can shore up her genjutsu resilience, there's still a couple of Uchihiggers around.
>>279727060some fics have hinata learn genjutsu and pull off crazy shit from far away, technically having eye contact with her byakugan
>>279726967Can't imagine them functioning well in each other's places.
Sasuke orphaned from birth and a jinchuriki would have a void instead of hatred from loss so the evolution of his sharingan would be stunted. 9 tails would try to get Sasuke to rely on his chakra instead to prevent him awakening the mangekyo and controlling him.
If Naruto saw the whole Uzumaki clan die in front of him he'd be Menma.
>>279727411i meant turning traitor
naruto being menma sounds based though

>>279723650iruka looks fucking done with naruto's shit
>>279728695They're low jounin tier, yet they jobbed to a bunch of genin.
>>279723769jesus what a baby
>>279723897As a tayuya fag I sometimes wish that she didnโt come up again after the konoha crush ark.
>>279724982>die and be free>spend the rest of your life as a ditch digger
>>279726014> Kishimoto should salvage BorutoYou could have a private audience with the entire Naruto team and pitch to them the best idea to salvage the brand after it was tanked by boruto and they would still ignore it. Itโs their hubris at this point.
>>279727701I prefer fanfics when Naruto defects from the leaf village but apparently I can't talk about them without someone sperging out.
>>279726014that used to be called peggy sue
>>279729589I'd leave fanfic discussions to general threads.
>>279729589i'm a fan of shillfic
i admit it
>>279729589It's never really been done well
>>279729450They are the same age as said genin.
Also only Kidomaru lost fairly against Neji. Choji had to use the chud pill against Jirobo, a tired out Sakon was beaten by Kankuro, sick Kimimaro had to fight Gaara, and Tayuya had one of the worst matchups against Temari.
>>279729662>Premarital, underage sexKill yourself.
>>279730065Itachi had a lover at 13
>>279726014This unironically sounds like it would be a premise for a Naruto game.
>>279729955Itโs because ||itโs the ark where we lose her despite how amazing she is||
Iโd rather had had her disappear and have another writer do her justice then have kishimoto ||write tayuya out of the story|| because of convenience and it hurts every time I think about it.
>>279730078But she's not a Hyuga.
>>279730171the hell does that matter?
>>279726272Depends on whether you consider being given hope and having it dashed like Lee to be worse than never having hope at all like Tenten.
Neji got it bad, but he's not comparable to the other 2. Death is a mercy compared to Lee and Tenten's treatment.
>>279723897This looks hideous
>>279730221Hyuga girls are pure, you fucking coomer.
>>279730533yet you said underage premarital sex was the issue
>>279723559I love this fat genius so much. He's so funny and intriguing whenever he's onpage.
>>279723702You're quite chatty this thread and last one. Not complaining, just observing.
>>279730554Yeah, you can't lewd Hyugas like that. What are you some kind of degenerate?
>>279726304Tribute to Toriyama-sensei's genius. You know, Oolong and King Furry might actually have been part of the origin story for Kishimoto's weird animal people fixation.
>>279723282 (OP)kishimoto must have gotten a lot more self-aware of the anime artstyle, this cover has a much more uniform look to it than his previous ones.
>>279731075I wish he was more confident in himself, I liked the rough linearts in the first few arcs. It's not like they're chicken scratches like attack on titan.
>>279723677Because this time, it's out of his control. There's no fight, no mission, no sacrifice, no training, no challenge... He goes to sleep, and either he wakes up, or he doesn't.
>>279725817>get one comic relief fight where you're rescued by the guy who crippled you in the first placeWhat a way to humiliate your own character.
>>279723702>>279723980>God this is insufferable >Am I still under the Tsuyukomi?
>>279724026Without Iruka Naruto would be a villain
>>279723702>>279723733I fucking hate Itachi so much.
>>279723897OUR VILLAINS!
Also, Thanks OP!
>>279729925Even then neji had to kill himself to send the juuken straight through the chakra thread. He couldn't win otherwise, the gap is just too big.
>>279725440He commits to the bit.
>>279723967THIS OOOOOOOOOORANGE WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL NOT PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL
>>279725440its to protect himself from needles shots
>>279725440Kidomaru is a gamer. He's obviously larping.
>>279723897This motherfucker just WONT leave konoha alone.
>>279723358How the goddamn shit did his arms and legs getting asploded put bone frags in his spine?
>>279732013Nah. OP just never posts on a consistent schedule

>>279733375Nah. These daily's are shit. Hope someone posts more chapters again
>>279733438Yeah, yeah, we know, retard. You can always leave anytime if you hate these dailies so much.
>>279733308>>279733375This the last arc before Shippuden?
>>279733460You probably shouldn't give him attention in any way shape or form

>>279733265This was the OP that let kids know, things are about to get dire...
>>279733049Probably was there before. That's why she said he's "not cut out to be a shinobi" rather that "you got too crippled kid"
>>279723417SUFFAH LEE, ONLY MOON JESUS CAN SHINE
>>279723417Dang, that is a lot of suffering put on just a kid, surely in the future someone steps up and makes it so that kids no longer have to go to war right?
>>279723650>"god this kid is so annoying, keep it to 20 worlds or less you absolute retard"
>>279723805IN THE EEEEEND IT DOESN'T EVEN MAAATTEEEEER
>>279723733This stupid bitch didn't know how to peel an apple before?
>>279723897Thanks, OP.
>>279729450They're not low, and this was a time when Naruto could injure an opponent at the same level as Kakashi through circumstances.
they're comically overpowered considering Sasuke and Itachi had to use Susanoo and Kagutsuchi to break Kimimaro's bones and Kidomaru's web, and both of them needed someone else to free them from Tayuya's genjutsu.[/spoiler
>>279730078Wasn't she just his girlfriend?
>>279725440Downtime was two (2) chapters. Hate it
>>279736015Didn't mean to quote
Anyway Kishimoto goes too fucking fast
Sakura hate is just a meme at this point by how forced it comes out.
>>279736064She has a mountain of cringy and inappropriate moments that the distaste for her is well deserved.
>>279736064If anything this story time has only reinforced why so many people don't like her. She is treated by absolute shit by Sasuke the psycho school shooter in training and she still simps after him
>>279736221Kishimoto considered Sakura a bad woman if she moved on from Sasuke.
If she can't handle his worse, then she doesn't deserve his best.
>>279736168Only Naruto self-inserters think this.
>>279736168Only rational and objective people think this.
>>279723897Tayuya my beloved
>>279725156>>279723650The way information is being distributed is so bad that this is how Kabuto being a spy becomes public knowledge.
And even then we don't know how many people were told this story by naruto
>>279723805Sakura creamed her panties from this btw
>>279723805Why did I giggle?
>>279737698Sakura's "GAH!" made me kek
>>279723702So why did good guy Itachi do this again? What exactly did this accomplish?

>>279736411>Kishimoto considered Sakura a bad woman if she moved on from Sasuke.Yeah, and that's retarded.
>>279699915
>>279723617Asuma you are just a shit teacher
>>279723617>>279739768To be fair, he doesn't have a lot to work with. Three kids from three specialist clans with fighting styles passed from fathers to sons? Literally the only thing he can do is teach fundamentals, which all three of them probably already had.
>>279740842he got the easiest teaching job out of nepotism so he can laze about and focus on finer things in life like fucking his hot colleague
What would Sakura have done if it was Naruto who got mind raped and put in a coma? Would she peel apples for him after he woke up? Considering Naruto is the one who actually saved her from Gaara.
>>279741563Sasuke would do that. And Sakura would be there too because of Sasuke.
>>279741625Sasuke wouldn't baby Naruto, that's not in character for him.
>>279733506>>279733530Isn't Kakashi Gaiden also before Part 2 in the manga?
>>279741563The first thing she did after Naruto saved the village from Pain was punch him in the head. She's just a massive bitch.
>>279742922Then she hugged him.
>>279743175something Shitnata never did.
how would they fit into the Naruto setting?
lee fanboys will pretend they suffered more than others, when really all non-team 7 konoha genin except shikamaru became superfluous after the time skip
>>279743762Choji and Hinata got a little something
>>279723714>>279724026You people simply do not understand how popularity works. You think when a character makes an impression on people that they need a constant drip of reminders that they exist? No. They carve a place in the audience's hearts and they don't forget them. It's that simple.
>>279743703Sakura and Ino wouldn't be considered the prettiest girls anymore...the boys would all probably end up being giga coomers from all the cutest edging
>>279744034is Sakura even canonically conisdered pretty?
>>279743703The upperclassmen can probably beat any named Naruto kunoichi in the chunin exams. Not that high of a bar, I know.
>>279744105that one anime intro calls her beautiful
>>279744105Perhaps I remember wrong but I believe it is said in the manga for her and Ino. Then we have Tsunade being confirmed as very beautiful. Whether it is said in the manga or not though, adding those beauties drops all Naruto girls many tiers
>>279744124Can we finally talk about Kunoichi Tsubaki powerscaling!?
>>279743703Tsubaki is taller than all the main cast Konoha genin at the start of the series except Neji, Lee, and Shino.
>>279743703Sakura would stop getting bullied for having rhe biggest forehead in class.
>>279744124Even Kurenai and Temari?
>>279744751and as we all know, an emotionless sexless person such as Sai is at the tippy top of judging the sexual attraction of the opposite sex...knowing the Naruto themes, perhaps if she looked more like Shin?
>>279744833you right, lets start talking about Bortuo! when will Salad lose her silly jacket? I want to see those pits and back
>>279744751he saw her cocking her leg on a tree
>>279743703Doesn't the sensei have Tsunade tier unga bunga strength?
>>279744105Naruto, Lee, Jiraiya and Inari consider her to be, so take that as you will.
>>279729567Isn't Boruto the most profitable license TVtokyo has? What is there to salvage besides my cock in your throat
>>279746219boruto = samurai 8 + Naruto
>>279738469Made his act more believable.
>>279741563>Would she peel apples for him after he woke up?Yeah I think she would. She'd spend no where near as much time sitting by his bed + it wouldn't be out of love like it is for Sasuke, but she'd want to take care of her team mate at least.
She would also probably smack him over the head when he begs her to hand feed him, or maybe aggressively shove them into his mouth in typical anime / manga fashion.
>>279747207No she wouldn't. Unless Sasuke was there.
>>279747976She was willingly healing Naruto after he nearly ruined his arm with wind rasengan.
>>279747976Objectively I think she would. Agree to a disagree I guess.
>>279748742You don't even know what objectively means.
>>279736064>is absolutely useless and accomplished nothing in the story so far>does nothing but whine and be angry>her fight with Ino is the worst one in the series>her being present during the Gaara fight accomplished nothing and she only turned herself into a burden for Naruto and Sasuke >made fun of Naruto for being an orphan>has an irrational obsession with worshipping Sasuke even though he clearly gives no shit about her, and she knows nothing about him or his past >treats Naruto like shit whenever possible >>people thinking that Sakura is a terrible character is "forced" Pinkfags are something else.
>>279746219No lol. It would still be airing if it was. Both manga flopping and having to work extra on it spooked them.
>>279749643>her fight with Ino is the worst one in the seriesEven the other characters thought so!
>>279723282 (OP)Who does the art for the covers? Is it kishimoto? Or does someone else draw it? These look insanely good. Even hxh has really nice covers.
>>279736064? It exists because she's got loads of moments of her being annoying or shitty etc. The people who try and force that narrative are her most rapid supporters.
>>279749845Kishimoto. I just wish he didn't use white backgrounds so much.
>>279744105She's the only female with the most compliments for her looks.
>>279744326>Then we have Tsunade being confirmed as very beautiful. And the fact Tsunade greatly resembles Sakura with how Kishimoto drew her is telling.
>>279750164>And the fact Tsunade greatly resembles Sakura with how Kishimoto drew her is telling.lol whut
>>279750397You didn't read the previous arc? People have pointed out that Kishimoto draws her like Sakura, which we know the reason is because he wants them to parallel and shit like the rest of the Sannin and Team 7.
>>279750164>She's the only female with the most compliments for her looksTsunade looking like a 10/10 when she's supposed to be a hag is her main defining trait, lmao.
>>279750512No one said that.
>>279750512No one inuniverse says they look alike.
>>279750649I'm not saying in-universe. Clearly you as a reader can see Kishimoto designed them alike.
>>279748821What makes you say that?
>>279750737I don't really see it ngl
>>279748694So why would feeding him apple slices be above that?
>>279750870Are you autistic? Asking unironically.
>>279750861Someone post THAT panel
>>279750888I am, but I fail to see how that has to do with the question.
>>279750861This is Tsunade btw.
>>279751003No wonder you're struggling with it this much.
>>279751061I think Temari would also look like Sakura with Sakura's hairstyle.
>>279751061She looks like Sakura about as much as Shizune looks like Sasuke.
Chapter 174: Feelings...!
>>279751151Struggling with what?
>>279751391Shizune never looked like Sasuke to me.
>>279750556It was brought up in both storytimes and this daily, how the fuck did you miss it?
>>279751581>even the Academy's closedThen how are you going to get more ninjas?
>>279751391The only thing they have in commun is the hair color ane looking asian.
>>279751527Honestly Naruto looks better without the headband, while ironically Sasuke looks better with it.
>>279723315nigga what
who are you
>>279751760Kishimoto projecting again.
>>279751802ShinoCHADS, we're still at the top.
>>279751760This is your waifu, pigkeks?
This all supposed to be some contrast?
>>279751417>Feelings? Look mate, you know who has a lot of feelings? Uchihas who burn their wives to death with Amaterasu. Professionals have standards.
>>279751840>Ino and Asuma tell Choji to stop being a fat piece of shit that steals other people's food>Shikamaru goes "nahh don't listen them, keep stuffing your face" Fucking toxic piece of shit "friend".
I don't think he should've followed Itachi's words.
>>279751760Shikamaru Brosnan
>>279751931How long were Sasuke and Sasuke just standing idly by after Sasuke threw that plate?
Good night, peak Sasuke from Konoha Crush

>>279751979its pointless advice if his powers are based on calorie consumption
>>279751760choji really doesn't look that fat, does he? If it wasn't for his puffy cheeks he'd look pretty much like any other kid his age. Maybe he just dresses well.

>>279752381>no titsWhat's the point?
>>279751840>>279751879Can't tell whose character's wanking is more insufferable between Shikamaru and Itachi.
>>279751681kinda weird pacing to basically have a flashback to something that just happened at the end of last chapter (talking to Iruka), and just now continuing where we left of
This chapter marks where Sasuke officially ruined the franchise and any potential it had.
Can you imagine how livid Sasuke would be if Naruto got the promotion.
>>279752675still weird that Sasuke didn't pass or didn't get another chance. His match got interrupted
>>279752675Sauce already made clear he doesn't care about becoming Chuunin, he just wants strength

>>279752827But the rank would mean the leaf considers Naruto stronger/better than him.
Sasuke kino is back on the menu
>>279752882Considering Shikamaru got promoted to Chuunin, it's pretty much confirmed the rank is not strength related.
He was the weakest guy in that Stadium, other than maybe Kankuro
I skipped ahead and now I want to talk about Part 2, how long is it going to take to get there?
>>279752282Kakashi seems like a guy that lives like this with no problem
>>279752931Yes, but Naruto having that on top of everything else would hurt his ego even more.
>>279753043Maybe, but I doubt it would be anymore than what he's aleady feeling
>>279751802REAL recognizes REAL
>>279753152Sasuke was insecure over Sakura looking at Naruto funny instead of him, anon, I don't think he'd take being out-ranked by the class clown that lightly.
>>279753289What you fail to realize is that Sauce doesn't consider Naruto a class clown.
He's never cared much about ranks
>>279752493go to a farm if all you care about is tits

>>279753377Not anymore, but he did consider him one at a point, and in the previous even brought up how he wasn't this powerful in the academy days.
>>279753522Christ almighty, all that text.
this series becoming about edgesuke and little else marks a decline
>>279749643>is absolutely useless and accomplished nothing in the story so farYou didn't read Land of Waves or Forest of Death segment of the Chinin Exams.
>does nothing but whine and be angryDisingenuous.
>her fight with Ino is the worst one in the seriesGot plenty of traction when it was dumped.
>her being present during the Gaara fight accomplished nothing and she only turned herself into a burden for Naruto and SasukeFair, she was a reduced to a damsel here but it was a key motive to even get Nart to perform his Ninja Handbook.
>made fun of Naruto for being an orphanValidated but this was early on and is meant to be flawed and humbled to soften up on Naruto.
>has an irrational obsession with worshipping Sasuke even though he clearly gives no shit about herI advise again to read Chunin Exams again and Konoha Crush. He called both Sakura and Naruto precious to him. Also, Ino doesn't get enough shit for also having Sauce in mind most of her panels like this very chapter. Double standard.
>and she knows nothing about him or his pastSasuke isn't open about this shit to anyone.
>treats Naruto like shit whenever possibleName one time after Land of Waves. Go ahead.
>people thinking that Sakura is a terrible character is "forced"And extremely disingenuous.
>>279753565Sasuke accepted Naruto is strong before the prelims had even started
>>279753733That doesn't mean he just doesn't care about Naruto's former status.
>>279753781Sure it does, in the fight against Gaara, he even noted he was beginning to fight like his usual self when he got him with the explosive kunai.
Sasuke is shocked about the rate at which Naruto is progressing, but he was the first one to acknowledge his strength.
Itachi mindraping him just made his negative emotions take over the postitive ones.
>>279752437He's fat. Ameriburgers have ballooned in weight so much recently that they see fat people as if they were normal just because they're not morbidly obese.
>>279751454>>279752282Men really live like this and see no problem.
>>279753733I think you're missing the point here, it's about Sasuke wanting to keep his golden boy image intact and Natuto being the one to surpass him hurts more than if it were someone like shino.
>>279752282Kakashi's whole personality shtick is that he's a stoic goofball. He would live like this even if he was the richest guy ever.
>>279752437He's not la creatura de Walmart, but he's about as fat as you can be while still being active.
Realistically, he'd be absolutely shredded when he takes the redpill and turns his fat into butterfly wings.
>>279751979Choji gets his power from his fat, so telling him to lose weight is pretty terrible advice.
>>279751840>be yourself LMAOAnd I'm supposed to believe he's some genius. Yeah, right.
>>279752437Honestly, he really doesn't. Just look at how skinny his arms are.
>>279753620>You didn't read Land of Waves or Forest of Death segment of the Chinin Exams.Literally the best thing she accomplished was get Naruto down when Zabuza threw his sword.
>Disingenuous.Yeah, you are, you faggot.
>Got plenty of traction when it was dumped.That doesn't equate to it being good in any way.
>He called both Sakura and Naruto precious to him.He never said that to her face, as far as she knows he barely acknowledges that she exists.
>Sasuke isn't open about this shit to anyone.That doesn't make her obsession any less irrational.
>Name one time after Land of Waves. Go ahead.Every time she hit him for comedif effect.
>>279752047>shut up and fight meNo dude. Fuck off. What about you actually go train with Kakashi? You learnt the Chidori in 2 weeks. Imagine what you could do if you actually worked out instead of sit around brooding all day.
>>279723805this guy is such a fucking dick.
>nah im not hunrgy right now but thanksinstead he fucking goes full seethe at someone trying to fucking be nice to his bum ass
>>279754336What can a guy who got soloโd by Itachi in 2 seconds even teach him
>>279752448>lifelong friends being supportive can only be mary sue wank
I realized something. From this point on Sasuke acts like a mentally handicapped nigger without any self control or critical thinking. Literally sub-70 IQ decision-making. Must be the brain damage from Tsukiyomi or something.
>>279754049Youโre the one who seems to be missing the point. Sauce doesnโt care about being a golden boy at all, he never has.
Heโs just pissed off at the rate at which Narutoโs improving compared to himself
>>279754489>What can a guy who got soloโd by Itachi in 2 seconds even teach himThe same things the other guy who got solo'd by Itachi in 2 seconds could.
>>279754269>Literally the best thing she accomplished was get Naruto down when Zabuza threw his sword.She didn't freeze either at the first encounter of danger, gave Nart and indirectly Sauce advice on Chakra control for them both to bond and climb trees 'til nightfall, and stood guard of Tenzin never leaving her post.
>barely acknowledges that she exists.He told her to train meaning he at least cares about her performance he wouldn't have said anything otherwise, and he boosted her confidence by calling out the genjutsu trap before the written exam.
>Every time she hit him for comedif effect.And how many times is that present in the manga not counting Pierrot playing it up to 11? Once and in the Forest of Death early on in the story.
>>279736582She can nin my jutsu if you catch my drift...
>>279754572Being the golden boy involves him being stronger than his peers, which includes Naruto.
>>279754610Same guy put the fear of God in Kekashi, so it's still a much better choice.
>>279754860You're missing a lot of context here.
>>279752612Here he still did neither, but yes, he never recovers from here.
>>279754269Nta, but Ino vs Sakura was a good fight, the only problem is that Ino should have won.
>>279753000Kishi's shading reminds me of how they attempted to recreate it in those PS2 Naruto games.
>>279755258>the only problem is that Ino should have won.MOVE. ON.
>>279751961>>279752047CRAWLING IN MY SKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
How come nobody was after Ino? she was the hottie of Konoha
>>279755258Wasnt it a draw? Haven't read or watched that fight in literally over 15 years
>>279752144taking advantage of a cripple right Naruto? is that your hero, /a/?
>>279751417Our real HEROES
>>279755370What? I never speak about it, and I wasn't the one to bring it up, it was obviously her the better kunoichi, who had actual jutsu and a strategy to leverage them, showing better chakra control than Sakura in doing so, and Sakura managed a draw by no merit of her.
>>279755413Yes, it was.
>>279755407She's a bitch and she's 12.
These dailies were a mistake.
>>279751719>Needing to diet despite being a trained combatant who does shit like jump through trees
>the whole general is nardo self inserters being perpetually mad that the deuteragonist wasn't MC's bitch for 500 chapters and left to seek out his own goal. Because God knows even mindrape and genocide aren't good enough reasons to abandon "muh 5 month old friends"
>delusional NScukery 10 years after their humiliation
>retarded trip war faggotry on top
You guys are fucking retarded and pathetic.
>>279756715who are you quoting
>>279751581>We're down to half our strength because Konoha has lost so many ninja>So we closed the academy down, you know, our training pipeline for replenishing our ninja forcesHow is Konoha's leadership so consistently retarded? There's no way Iruka is more valuable to the village doing missions as a low-tier filler chunin than he is training up new crops of genin.
>>279751760>That one time out of nowhere when Shikamaru had to proclaim his love for fat bitches
>>279751760>Most of us like 'em a little more substantial!Clearly he's talking about thighs.
>>279757092Why isn't Temari a BBW by Boruto?
Kishimoto you hack.
in retrospect why didn't Orochimaru just summon Manda as a replacement for Shukaku once Gaara decided to go offscript?
>>279757117Temari always looked a little thicker than the other Naruto girls
>>279751961>>279752008>>279752087As edgy as Sauce is and how his parodies are so overdone that they're a meme now, I genuinely enjoy Sasuke's plotline
>>279757170They aren't in good terms, he only opted for Manda after the previous summon jobbed and Tsunade went to summon Katsuyu.
>>279757273He carries Naruto after all, and specially in Part 2. Without him the story would be boring as fuck.
>>279757170Manda doesn't even like Orochimaru so trying to get him to fight the strongest ninja village for him would make him peace out. Then Orochimaru would be out of a lot of chakra.
>>279757300Probably laying low since the humiliation he got from the /v/ thread.
>>2797529692 months or so. I think this arc has 60+ chapters
LMFAO
md5: 728c59412f37b26387ed94427302f632
๐
>>279757337The daily got all quiet when he was humiliating himself on /v/.
>>279757305The problem with part 2 is that Naruto does fuck all until Pain. He didn't even do anything during his time skip. And once he finally does start doing something, he gets thrown into the cess pool that is the 4th war arc.
I just wish Sasuke had more internal struggle during part 2. He comes off pretty dry until he peaks at 5KS.
This probably has already been pointed out a million times, but I like how Sasuke going bad in this arc is basically Kishimoto's take on Majin Vegeta.
>>279757421>HumiliationIt's obvious to think he'd know all that would be posted here too, why are you assuming he still has some sense of shame?
>>279757467Ngl I never connected the two. I think Kishi set it up better. Now only if we cared about Sakura, then he would have maxxed out the drama.
>>279757440Early part 2 really feels like Kishi was bored of Naruto and tried to juggle the focus between multiple other characters (Sakura, Sai, Shikamaru, Sasuke and Jiraiya) until he got bored of that to and had to begrudgingly focus on Naruto again.
>>279757559He literally begged Naruto to save her while he'd sacrifice himself against Gaara.
>>279757467It's like "What if Majin Vegeta was just the default Vegeta until the end of the series".
>>279757597Wait, nvm I read that wrong, lol.
>>279757421Yeah, so... about the guy that kept saying "sasukefag just hates the Naruto IP for no reason"...
>>279757673Well, you can have a love-hate relationship with something.
>>279757305I remember reading back in the storytime, the pacing for Part II was awful at the beginning and Naruto was just bumming around for a large chunk of it until, as this anon said it
>>279757440 the Pain arc.
.
>>279757673>"sasukefag just hates the Naruto IP for no reason"sounds pretty trvth nuke
>>279757597I meant if we the readers cared more about Sakura, Kishi could have made the team 7 break up more emotional. But he screwed her character pretty bad. She's basically a meme, and you can tell by how every scene she's in with Sasuke the last couple chapters gets made fun of. I don't think it's a stretch that most readers are care about Sasuke's relationship with Nardo at this point.
>>279757562That explains the love triangle phase.
>>279757562I feel he was less bored with Naruto and more that Naruto had to have no significant growth of strength and take a backseat because he didn't want the conflict with Sasuke to be resolved quickly. He couldn't have Naruto at Sasuke's level during that time or have their back rematch happen earlier since Kishi always pictured it as the final battle of the series.
>>279751941>Be polite>Be efficient>And have plan to job to everyone you meet
>>279757626Funny you say that, because Vegeta had more moments of claritty in his majin phase than Sasuke had after going rogue.
When he thinks Buu killed Gohan he straight up makes a genuine appologize for the consequence of his actions, Sasuke wouldn't have something like that until Naruto beats him into submission.
>>279757701That would be these threads, not with the IP I guess
>>279757774>since Kishi always pictured it as the final battle of the seriesThis single decision has done more harm than good to the story desu.
>>279757835Well, when you consider his understand of the IP you can say he hates it as well.
>Discussing / bringing up an attention whore shitposter for no reason
Let's not
>>279758153Do you understand the thread you are in
If anything I'm surprised we only have two schizos (to VERY different degrees of schizophrenia)
>Sasukefag
>Tayuyafag
12kidsfag killed himself when he realized he couldn't write for shit so that doesn't count
>>279752047IT BEGINS
RIP SASUKE
ENTER WHINY HOMO RETARD CARRIED BY THE AUTHOR FOR 500 CHAPTERS
>>279758177Yes; a daily Naruto chapter thread where people talk about Naruto.
Any retards (
>>279757300) randomly trying to derail or shit stir for drama should be ignored.
In the spirit of this, I will say no more (unless it's about Naruto)
>>279758293We live in a timeline where what if Naruto was Sasuke got the half-competent autist then anything else.
>>279758387>In the spirit of this, I will say no more (unless it's about Naruto)Who is Sasukefag's Naruto?
>>279752314He did a heel turn while in the mind rape dimension. His suffering was simply too great, please understand.
What Junior Edgelord here is trying to say is, "you shouldn't have healed me... because now I'm going to become a real monster..."
The thread is NOT exaggerating, this is the turning point. If you liked Sasuke as a character you are about to witness the greatest character assassination in the history of manga.
>>279753299>even the author's peers know that naruto looks best with his jacket open
>>279753299Haku looks like Muzan there.
>>279723805goddamnit. Tayuya fuckers are goin to be a hassle
>>279754610It's a matchup issue. Oro has a weird body that can stretch and be manipulated abd hitting important parts can even be tricky. Someone who has a lot of brute force but extremely powerful jutsu like Jiraiya (and a way to deal with Tsukiyomi) can force Itachi off his objective but struggle with Oro who has an unorthodox fighting style. At the same time, getting into Oro's mind and using genjutsu is particularly effective, who cares where his real organs are if he is just standing still because he thinks he's pinned down with giant spikes?
>>279756610Does Ino even train?
>>279751802I really like Choji's moment with Shikamaru here. It hits deep.
>>279754610>>279755015Just get Sauce to train with Jiraiya to learn anti Itachi measures.
Imagine Frog Sauce.
>>279758774i caN't believe chojI Got done so fuckinG damnEd diRty with that final pairing Kishi gave him
>>279756715I just think Sasuke didn't act rationally despite having ample time and advice to do so
>>279758820Frogke would be so cool dude
>>279758729She weight trains
>>279757440>He comes off pretty dry until he peaks at 5KSWell, Sasuke is a pretty well manered guy and he only focus on his revenge against Itachi. When he does it, until Tobi reveals him the truth, he starts going full schizo and then relax when he kills Danzo. One of the things that I liked the most of him in the War Arc (and I hate the War Arc) it's that he went and asked the previous Hokage the Uchiha conflict to make a final decision.
And that he's not a bootlicker like nardo.
>>279757562I mean at least it made Naruto's return against Pain cooler.
>>279757814Yeah Majin Vegeta is faking most of the time, Goku even calls him out for it.
Hell, I doubt Majin Vegeta would have killed Goku. Sasuke would absolutely have killed Naruto at VotE early on.
>>279758940I bet Ino can lift more than Pinkshit
>>279759111The only weight she's training is her cut.
>>279759111Nah, tard strength.
But who cares? Ino is very kind to other people, and that's enough to make a man fall madly in love.
>>279759079Majin Vegeta may as well be called Honest Vegeta, he really isn't any eviler so much as he finally stops beating around the bush regarding his complexes
>>279757467Vegeta was always a selfish cunt though, him relapsing into being evil wasn't surprising in the slightest. Sasuke has mostly been portrayed as heroic since the start of the series
>>279759186She was being an ass to Choji in this very chapter.
>>279759746She was worried about him going into a diabetic coma and she also wanted him to get laid.
>>279759790You're suggarcoating it.
>>279759874Look, women are complicated. They may seem like cunts when they're trying to help, and they ARE cunts when they're trying to appear nice.
>>279759967this is no more complicated than men, your dick feelings just make you hyperfocus on their behaviour until you notice the natural layers of human behaviour and it starts to feel complicated.
like saying a word so many times it starts to sound weird
>>279759733And Vegeta started as a madman intent on destroying the earth. Every step he took away from that was a big deal.
Sasuke went from basically giving his life for Naruto in the very first arc, to protecting and treating Team 7 like his family at every opportunity. Then I think you nailed the problem on the head: you keep expecting Sasuke to face turn back, to get over his emo phase, and when he starts doing REALLY bad shit you almost start to think he's faking it or has another plan, but he doesn't. He really thinks he can just take over the ninja world by being a twat. And he almost fucking does it, too
>>279760258The problem with Sasuke's bad guy phase is that at many times it feels like Kishimoto REALLY wants you to think he's beyond saving in some cases and you can only do something like this so much until it becomes annoying.
>>279760395He was too far gone the moment he pierced Naruto's chest for basically nothing
Still can't believe they forgave him
>>279736582> Tayuya my belovedT_T
>>279760258I've said before and I'll say it again - The last 2/3s of part 2 REALLY want you to forget Sasuke actually tried to murder both Naruto and Sakura for little to no reason at all in early part 2, just so that Kishi can set up the whole "look how hard the truth about Itachi hit him, now he's a remorseless cold blooded killer and he's nothing like how he was before, we promise!" thing.
And no, he was definitely not bluffing when he tried to kill them with Kirin (or pseudo-Kirin).
>>279751454>shuriken bedsheets>>279752347Wait until you get reminded of Sasuke's catgirl oba-san.
>>279760486>piercing Naruto's chestSee no but that was the beginning of the deception by Kishi. Sasuke implicitly does NOT kill Naruto when he has the chance, when he thinks it's his only hope of getting the MS, and what's more we end the arc with the Best Friend revelation. So Sasuke fans had a lot to chew on during the timeskip. The spoiled rich kid with the dark past and the closet full of skeletons was suddenly full anti-hero (and willing to train / become willingly enslaved by Oro all for the vague promise of "more power"), it's like fireworks for the young teen male mind. Sasuke was built in a lab to appeal to teenagers and then as we got older and expected more nuance from our fiction, Kishi couldn't deliver and Part 2 falls on its face.
>>279723559Chouji should've impregnated Ino in the end
>>279760727I donโt care, tayuyaโs still pretty
>>279761129>floatie made out of her dream demon thingsCute

>>279761569Temari is a fat bitch (weird thing for a starving village), but I still don't agree with that decision on Kishi's part.

>>279760395>>279760486I know Naruto's whole message was to never stop fighting for muh friends and his Shinobi way, but I would have found it more interesting if Naruto had to accept he had to make a sacrifice for the greater good of his village. It would have kept Sasuke's spiral in line and have Naruto grow beyond his childhood beliefs.
Although it would make the whole uchigger plotline a little more messy.
