Naruto
Despite how rushed it is, does Sasuke Retrieval's positives outweight the negatives?

I wouldn't call it rushed, but the pacing definitely picks up a bit near the end; what with the Tayuya, Kimmi, and Sakon fights all going on at the same time. It leads to lowkey one of the best ENTERs in Part 1 though, so I don't mind.

To be fair to her, sending off your elite members to "rescue" some deserter isn't the best use of resources, especially when your village is unstable at the moment.

He fucked up the goo armour and cracked it and kishi showed that it fell to pieces with 64 fists before knowing it was not possible to break it and when kido was caught off guard.

Kido only tunneled vision after playing it very smart, pulling distance, camping, testing angles and limits, and finally got too excited "gamer mode" and wanting to one shot Neji with a big arrow instead of witling him down further with spam.
>kiba didn't
because he isn't smart, and shikamaru was the thinker. He was probably running a shikamaru laid out plan just like how naruto triple-feinted for his coffin snatch to happen. The mission was not to kill, but to retreive. They know if it comes to combat they were disadvantaged as mid/genin and kept leaving a man behind.
>lee
Yeah that's bullshit. It also minimizes the supposed impact of Lee's decision and resolve, as retarded as it was.

So Here's a list of every contrived bit we've seen so far in the daily:
>Only sending 5 genin to rescue Sasuke, no other genin or chunin were avaible or worth bringing up, not even Izumo and Kotetsu who were just doing paper work
>Neji having his Byakugan off so Ukon can break Shika's Shadow possession
>Neji being completely unable to see Jirobo digging underground.
>Everyone agreeing to let Choji 1v1 Jirobo despite the fact that they would've taken him out in minutes at best if they gang up on him.
>Jirobo had multiple opportunities to suck Choji's chakra and yet didn't do it.
>Jirobo suddenly changes his mind about killing Choji by leeching his reserves dry to just punch him to death instead, while also stopping midway through to take a bite out of Choji's snack.
>Jirobo could've gone underground to avoid getting his ribcage crushed by Choji.
>Naruto doesn't even attempt to use fox chakra to cut Kido's webs.
>Naruto waiting for all his clones to he destroyed to sneak attack Kidomaru.
>Neji being unable to see Kidomaru's armor until finishing 64 palms and not seeing that the giant spider was fake.
>Kidomaru getting like a kilometer or so away from Neji off-screen and still being able to locate Neji without a fucking Byakugan.
>Neji pulls out a never seen before paralyzing technique using the principles of the gentle fist, because Kidomaru didn't take out the thread from his mouth after hitting it.
>Half dead Neji being able to reach a free falling Kidomaru before he even lands on the ground right AFTER having a flashback and struggling to reach him the whole fight.
>Naruto didn't just bombard Sakon and Tayuya with thousands of clones.
>Kiba not hitting Tayuya.
>The team splitting up because Akamaru TRIPPED and Sakon retardly went for the dog instead.

The extra fucked up part is that the exact same thing could've been done in reverse once Jiribo domes them. Even just Tayuya staying behind with while Kido and Sakon go on ahead probably would've been enough. Jiribo sucks them up, and Tayuya puts them into a genjutsu they can't chakra surge out of.

All of the neji stuff you said just proves you don't pay attention.

Kido was not a mile away. He was just outside the 50m range. The big spider was not a fake, it got popped or desummoned upon hit, creating a diversion.

Neji's byakugan is not always active, and still require chakra to kick into start mode at his level. Also shown to be limited in 50m range AND he was popping a chakra fart around him to make up for the blind spot to detect stuff. Kishi did the page of graphic to show this.

Kiba tayuya stuff was explained, their goal was not to kill/fight, but to retrieve and run.

Naruto has almost no conscious control of fox shit at this stage.

The Jirobo stuff you are right on.

The Leaf already spends all of its GDP to make sure Sasuke's coddled, get him a black ops, and his own court jester. All those funds from Itachi along with with Tsukiyomi recorded genjutsu can do so much. Part II explained Danzo stole the rest of the money for Root leaving Tsunade with the bare minimum.

Her original team is all about detection and gaining an info advantage on a target so they can gain an starting advantage through sneak attacks and surprise rush attacks.

Team 7 is basically one massive stat stick, a guy with the most busted level up learnset+innate ability and is super versatile, and Sakura who mainly does healing and any other responsibilities you don't want the two battering rams to waste time/chakra/focus on.

and at the end of the arc there's no spy sent by Tsunade who can see where Sasuke is going to locate Orochimaru? not even someone from the Sand village? Why is the sand village sending genin to another village to help? Wasn't Kakashi aware that Sasuke could be kidnapped when he already has a curse mark and him and Anko knew it was Orochimaru who did it? there was no way for Kakashi to use one of his 1000 jutsus and dogs to locate Sasuke and attack Orochimaru?
then 2 years pass and nobody attacks Orochimaru after killing 2 Kages? And after he left Akatsuki and wanted to destroy the village of the Kyuubi - they send Itachi to get Naruto but absolutely ignore Orochimaru betraying them as an asset? even more, Sasori is willing to make plans with Orochimaru at the bridge without Pain killing them all?

This is retarded and if you believe somehow Neji can only see up to 50 meters and that was Kishimoto's intent despite drawing scenes of Neji watching things from very very far away. Were the sound 5 only 50 meters away here? Why do they need Neji to find them then? Why aren't they hearing Naruto yell?

It was a love confession and it showed a lot of things about her character, it was also admirable. You'd have praised that shit if she went on to have an extended fight with Pain or some shit even though it would have added nothing story wise

Because it's a moment where she shows courage not only in revealing her feelings but in fighting a battle she knows she will lose because she can't bring herself to let Naruto go without at least trying to help him. She says she's being selfish and the dichotomy of that selfish impulse for an objectively selfless act makes a good contrast. If you can't understand this talk to a psychiatrist.

Dan quite literally died to a wounded kidney while having Tsunade herself trying to heal him, but sure, Hinata had no chance of dying there.

That's not the point you autistic simpleton. Kishimoto didn't present this match as a suicide, in fact the moment the adults perceived killing intent they stopped it. That's as far removed as possible from throwing yourself at a god with a killcount in the thousands

I think it's just autism simulator and a lot of people here are probably just rehearsing arguments they had on actual forums they got kicked out of, especially factoring in how long Naruto was soft-banned on /a/

A lot of them act like cunts for comedic purposes (banter) but then that carries over to their real personality. Probably just unfinished characterisation

Right before the fight starts we are told how dangerous the gentle fist is then have Hinata get hit and bleed from multiple important organs that would've killed anyone otherwise + Sakura straight up saying she could die if the fight kept going.
I don't think it could've been more clearer that Hinata could've died besides Kishimoto straight spelling it out.

He had gotten banned, but i assume the reason he hasn't shown up is due to him realizing nobody was gonna remember his persona once he was gone like in the 10 days post hack.

Crazy that people still struggle to admit that Kishi just made most of this story up as he went along and that it doesn't hold up if scrutinised so many years later. You can enjoy Naruto while acknowledging that.

It's really stupid to have females become Ninja in a combat role sense. Unless they're strictly used for recon purposes or have some busted kekkei genkai, it's pointless to have them train to be combatants
