>still managing to react to 1-tail Naruto
Is the 3rd tomoe really that good?

>>281439832
>jobber style

>>281439764
It is. The issue isn't Sasuke following Naruto's moves, but being able to physically keep up. Snake roids are insane.

>>281439438
Kishi really doesn't do anything interesting with these cover pages.

>>281439747
GET FUCKED!

>>281440003
>ZA HANDO

>>281439780
Why didn't Sasuke's face get slashed? All Naruto did was a push there?

>>281439935
Amaterasu will suffer the same fate.
>>281440003
Seriously? Another push?

>>281440333
I think that's kimimaro's.

>>281440372
Nah dino skelly is dun

>>281440311
Thanks op

>>281439538
>so you do have something special
So at point, either Sasuke has written off the whole Gaara kaiju fight he witnessed with a front row seat as a bad fever dream, or Itachi's mind fuck coma made him forget all about it.

Nah dino skelly is fun

>>281440311
Thanks op

>>281439538
The fact that it took Sasuke almost all of part 1 to realise Naruto has Kyuubi powers is insane.
Did neither him or Sakura ever bother to ask what was up with him going berserk and having red eyes when they got attacked by Orochimaru in the forest? Or how he randomly got an extra supply of chakra against Neji?

>>281440451
The bone portion of the tail isn't part of the curse mark itself.

>>281440186
>But in the end
>>281440311
>it doesn't even matter!

>>281440003
aiiiieeeeeee

>>281440531
No one asks or spread info in this manga.

>>281440531
>Or how he randomly got an extra supply of chakra against Neji?
He wasn't there for that and not a single soul speaks to each other in this village.

>>281440186
>IT DOESNT EVEN MATTEEEEEERR

>>281440590
>Did neither him or Sakura ever bother to ask

>>281440019
Kishimoto sucks when he's not drawing some Buddhist inspired symbolism

>>281440062
Sasukechads... why is our boy jobbing again!?

>>281439538
We're supposed to believe Naruto and Sasuke have a deep bond and are best friends when Sasuke never even realised Naruto has some of special chakra?

>>281439538
How is this more impressive than the fucking kaiju battle???

>>281440311
>>281440186
>suddenly lipstick
O-okay..

>>281440698
It's all Naruto's head canon.

>>281439764
It will never be like that again in the future for some reason.

>>281439889
you seriously gonna talk about the Uchihas like that???

>>281439832
Is he retarded?????? It failed two chapters ago on a weaker version???

How much of a headcanon is it to say that Gai secretly hated Neji for having to be his students when he's a naturally talented genius
>barely had any reaction to Neji losing his final march during the exams and was concerned with Lee being a good kid

Alright wiseguy, how would (You) fix Fire Style? Gimme your best fanfic fixes

>>281440829
Have at least one character be killed or severely injured by a fire move.

>>281440824
I think when Neji is stopped from killing Hinata, Guy says something that implies that he talked with Neji about not bringing the branch family stuff into the fight, so I assume he viewed Naruto beating Neji as a desperately-needed humbling moment

>>281440311
it's a shame that "special" is used here
do we agree, that Kishi kinda of needs a word that encompasses several, unique, potential as a shinobi, covetted for their power. Naruto and Sasuke genuinely were both SPECIAL as in had unique situations and potential as powerful shinobi
just got written into being rageb8ed by his older bro and favorite groomer, a shame sauce

Sauce is a huge retard for not getting the same NATTY powerups as fucking Kiba did but you have to admit Snake roids really gave him 3 powerups in a row.
Imagine if he actually worked hard on top of that

Damn the Naruto vs Sasuke fight is genuinely the part most improved by the anime, BY FAR.

>>281440776
It'd be better if he threw a paper bomb before hand and used fire ball to buff the explosion, so when Naruto's chakra blocks it it will be impressive.

>>281440003
>GOMU GOMU NO

>>281440934
Imagine Neji on a mission and being like "how can i make this about the hyuuga conflict?"

>>281440311
Sasuke the Hedgehog

So foxruto gets almost ko'd in three pages but Sauce can just fucking tank an entire chapter worth of beating? He already used two chidori and three katon btw

>>281441186
Are you complaining about Sasuke when he’s the one who gets his ass beat multiple times in shippuden? Chill.

>>281441199
Kishimoto can't really strike a right balance between Fraudke and PLOTSHIELDke

>>281440934
>if he won't take his meds then maybe the sentient nuclear bomb pummeling him will do the job

if any live action naruto gets made it should start with chunin exam. skip the written exam and forest of death.

>>281440829
It actually damaging anything

>>281440829
I want more elemental cloaks like what Lightning got

>>281439587
>>281439717
Even though he got hit, this upgrade is actually insane.

>>281440186
>>281440311
I don't know why but with the lipstick and wings it gives me Femto vibes

>>281440748
Spoilers, dude, come on.

>>281440829
Sasuke cooking spin off.

>>281441608
Yeah people used to bring that up all the time. It actually used to be a popular trope in anime around that time.

>>281441682
WHAT I'VE DOOOOOOOOOOONE~

>>281441703
Rare footage of SPECIALsuke being actually cool.

Naruto Part 1 was great.
Part 2 was a clear dip but at least it concluded decently. I even teared up a little at the end when Sasuke made up with Naruto.

Boruto is absolute garbage. Idk how Kodachi dropped the ball so hard with Boruto after inheriting a fully developed world, fighting mechanics, and big cast that's ripe for a lot of stories. Fanfics are better than Boruto.

*Ino is dead on the floor, Sakura is just red mist surrounding the area, Hinata is on her knees and Tenten is barely standing*
>Hinata... Did we beat base form Jirobo?
>Tenten... That was just a mud clone.

>>281439465
If Naruto farted in his One Tailed state would it be as destructive as his roars?

>>281439538
GULPsuke the Weak and Frightened!

>>281441703
Technically spoilers of his wings?

>>281441844
Bravo Kishimoto!

>>281441844
This actually happened during war arc when Naruto's clone defeated several kages.

>>281441711
Also it just occurred to me that Sasuke and Guts have their marks on their neck.

>>281439935
I forget, at this point when Naruto uses this much of the Nine Tails chakra does he keep his awareness of what he’s doing or is he under full tard rage right now?

>>281440186
>>281440311
I don’t care what you anons say CM2 Sasuke is and always has been cool.

>>281441981
honestly I just hate the nose marking, even the lipstick and hand wings don't bug me as much as that for some reason

>>281440829
Give fire style jutsu’s more variety than a few dozen flavors of “big fireball/flamethrower shot from the mouth”.

>>281440934

>>281440748
The anime sort of phrases it as if Bee overstimulated the Sharingan and Sauce lost track of his moves. Idk if that's anime only or not

>>281439960
Saucegay is getting fed up with Nachos plothax lmao

>>281440311
oh no he got a granny perm

>>281440186
>>281440311
Hardworksisters...

>>281441946
In this fight he's actually conscious, but somehow, after being specifically trained to control the nine tails, he will always go full tard mode upon getting red eyes in part 2.

>>281440829
Make it a support jutsu. Ninjas can defend from attacks if they have enough chakra/control. Fire attacks are generally easy to spot but hard to avoid due to their AoE (magic ninja flame amaterasu being the exception).
So a giant fire all could pin an opponent down while draining their chakra, having forced to defend. This would make the style an effective lead for follow up attacks or ambushes rather than straight damage. Stylistically that would make sense for a police force, having a style that can offer (crowd) control without brute force. Non ninjas would be smart enough to avoid the fire, something like herding sheep. Although water would have been more accurate and compliment Sasuke's lightning.
Compare that to lighting which is has piercing damage but is precision based, or water which is similar to fire but is backed by full force. I don't know how wind would function

>>281440829

>>281441483

Does shillfic have any other fights like the VotE one or does it only go all out once? I liked the snippets posted.

>>281441682
>>281441703
>>281440311
Arigatou, OP!

>>281440311
Snakeroid Rage mode

After seeing how buffed Sasuke got, i'm fully convinced that Tenten and Hinata could've reached Sound 4 level if they were on Sasuke's place.

>>281443373
what

>>281443379
Were given Curse Marks + snake roids.

>>281443379
What was hard to understand about that post?

>>281443408
>>281443438
I don't know whether that's underselling or accurate

>>281443484
No, it's pretty accurate actually, Sasuke couldn't even make Sakon go CM2.

What if someone actually strong like Kakashi got snake roids?

>>281443373
Probably, but could they even survive the curse mark

>>281443597
If the plot desires, of course.

>>281443570
Kage tier at least but how bad would he be taxed by a curse mark + his Sharingan? He might just die right after stacking them

>>281443624
Then give it to Jiraiya... wait actually that's a stupid idea since it's just budget sage mode and he has that

>>281440829
I can’t ask Kishi to simply not have Sasuke use such a dangerous jutsu as a rookie since this is a shonen and they need cool powers.

Have characters with fire style use it as artillery, to destroy large structures, cause chaos when their enemies are grouped.

Everytime it’s used the opponnent HAS to dodge even if they could survive it, since getting burned all over the body is a massive debuff. Forcing the opponents to move sets them up to get hit by another attack.

Lastly in order for all of this to work, there is no sugar coating this — just fucking let characters get burned and killed by fire. Plenty of series can draw non grusome charred bodied. Kishi has no excuses here.

>>281439538
Needs to be a 2000's amv

>>281443570
They aren't multipliers, so by the time you reach a certain level the boost from the mark is going to be very minor.

>>281443570
What if Naruto got snake roids?

>>281443852
Better than Fraudke since he has tons of chakra to spam it. Maybe around Kakashi level right now?

>Hinata arguably becomes stronger than her part 2 self if she became Oro's henchmen
Hard-worksissies...

Orochimaru’s new sound 4(5)
>Nej
>Choji
>Kiba & Akamaru

>>281443923
Her part 2 self is like sub chunin tier anyway so that's not a huge feat

Fire Style only worked in this franchise once and it was in Boruto.

>>281443983
But it does show that hard work ain't shit.

>>281443999
>EARTH STYLE
>*burp*

CM2 Sakura vs Base Kiba, how close is it?

>>281444061
10 x 0 is still 0

>>281444084
Cmon now...The roids adds at least 1 to Sakura's power.

>>281444061
piss-no jutsu negs Sakura's hair

>>281440125
>>281440152
love this part in the anime. the build up to impact is insane

>>281444131
>tanks it like nothing

>>281444061
Depends on how high Part 1 Sakura's chakra control already is, the control boost from the curse mark could potentially give her an early tard strength and Kiba would need to use roids of his own to match.

>>281444143
Plot armor is a bitch

>>281444131
>moment of impact is off screened

>>281440720
I think it's to make him look more pompous, like those Victorian era men. Fitting to his superiority complex to be better than others. Like Frieza in DBZ

>You think you can succeed by playing fair? Lmao, honest-cuck, unless you're talented or consuming enhancement drugs you will never go anywhere you failure!
Why did Kishi dedicated an entire arc for this message?

>>281444213
Manga accurate i guess.

>>281444213
You don't need to see it to feel it.

does anyone have those naruto nordic gamer wojak memes?

>>281444163
Imagine tard strength Sakura beating Naruto's ass instead of Sasuke

>>281444267
Kishimoto is not very good here......
He genuinely gets a lot better later but still not that great

>>281444284
Would be more believable than Sasuke's taijutsu brute forcing through Foxruto's stamina.

>>281444352
He wouldn't go fox on her so she can still believably win and leave

I remember one interview where Kishi says that he doesn't always agree with Naruto's actions, words and ideology but ultimately writes him like this because it's "the shounen thing to do".
Reading part 1 carefully, you can easily notice how blackpilled the man is and how it peaks through the cracks even though he wants the story to inspiring.

>>281444442
>off by 2
FUCK!

>>281441981
I agree. I even like the wings.

>>281441981
I will always hate Itachi for taking away Sasuke’s curse mark and making him just another MS spammer. There are already like 6 other important characters that are Sharingan users. Meanwhile the only other curse user is juugo and technically he doesn’t even have a curse mark

>>281440311
Thanks, OP.

>>281444442
Do you think Kishi was eneticmogged by a pier who would out-draw him?

>>281440311
To think Anko could have looked like this if Kishi remembered her and gave her a roids upgrade. At least the lipstick wouldn't be so gay then.

>>281444768
shillfic, anon

>>281441981
I think it looks pretty cool in part 2

>>281444817
it looks the exact same
kishi realized how ugly it is and never had him use it again

>>281444832
I wouldn't say exactly the same.

>>281441981
Have you ever considered you just have shit taste?

>>281441981
>>281442021
>>281444817
I think the problem with Sasuke's CM2 is that it's pretty hard to get it right, specially on Kishi's hands surprisingly enough, like, he never drew it as cool as this for example: >>281441703

>>281445266
Snake roids make him Madara-tier

>>281445266
would he sacrifice his soul to orochimaru to pass the exams?

>>281440829
one of the most consistent things I've seen people say in regards to fire as an element is that it's not allowed to damage people much because it's too gory, so I think the real question is "how do you solve the gore problem"?

>>281445462
Burn them black?

>>281445462
Dragon ball route, they just get turned to dust when the fire is big enough.

>>281445462
Literally just give them the usual anime scratches, slightly darker. It reduces the opponent's HP without killing them

>>281445266
it's never too late to get your ninja degree, lads

Could Fug had stopped the massacre if he fought Itachi?

>>281445904
Real answer: no
Bullshit retcon filler answer: yes

>>281439538
Wait, why would the Akatsuki be hunting Naruto right now? They don't even have the One Tails.

>>281446087
Their only real chance to get him with Hiruzen gone

The truth stings.

500 dead uchihas in a single afternoon?
That means 125 deaths per hour or pretty much one kill every 30 seconds.
by a single guy?

Nigga.

The first 4 hokages sucked ass

The biggest difference between a jonin and genin seems to just be speed

>>281447929
don't think about it

>>281447929
>day-long
An anon said a time-skip of about a day happens between Kidomaru and Neji breaking off and before Naruto and Shika catch up to Tayuya and Sakon. Something about a panel of the moon passing and it being back to day when Naruto fights Kimmimaro.

>>281447929
Like always, the speed feats in this arc are ridiculous.

>>281448052
>>Sits doing nothing, never had paperwork
We know literally nothing about Minato's tenure as hokage

Are you though? 5 characters with the exact same power already jobbed this arc

>>281449615
oh yeah good point. Naruto just didn't want to scratch Sasuke's pretty face, he just wants to captcher him

>>281449665

Did Jiraiya stunted Naruto’s growth in Shippuden?

>Hiruzen takes back the office chair instead of letting Fug step up to show good will towards the Uchiha (No coup)
That's rdidiculous, Fugaku isn't owed the position, and from what we saw he doesn't deserve it.

Curse mark was coolest when it made the person into a psycho

>>281447929
It makes sense. He’s faster than lightning afterall.

>>281451026
-in his imagination

>>281447343
You don't know that for sure

>>281450791
That wasn't a normal Fire Style jutsu. That was fire summoned from somewhere else. But yes, that did burn Jigen.

>>281450850
Faggot

>>281439747
Strange how being hit by a clawed palm does not leave any cut marks on his face? This could have blinded Sasuke in one eye. I guess If Naruto were to destroy one or two of his eyes It would be over for him obtaining the MS.

>>281451630
Sasuke Plot Armor #57

>>281450850
Fugaku was NEVER a Hokage candidate this is entirely Light Novel shit. If he was then Itachi has Tsunade strength since 6 years old

>>281451899
That's what I'm saying, Hiruzen didn't steal any position from him, as he wasn't owed the position of kage.
I'm indifferent to canon discussions, as they're arbitrary, but regardless Fugaku waouldn't have been a good Kage.

>>281451945
"canon" discussions are one thing and not necessarily all that interesting but I find it incredibly obnoxious in this particular case due to how retarded it is

>>281451945
Why not make Asuma the Hokage?

>>281439438
YOU ARE MY SPECIAL

>>281452094
Gege’s naruto would be pretty based

>>281439764
Doesn't 3rd tomoe give slight future sight?
He's probably reacting before Naruto even acts.

>>281452042
Kishimoto didn't know Asuma was related to Hiruzen at that point

>>281440588
The konoha rumour mill varies between omnipotent and useless.

>>281440186
Is that blackface?

>>281452133
Blacks don’t exist in Naruto

>>281452141
Kumogakure?

>>281452141
Not only they exist but also the very first time we see a person of n he immediately starts rapping.

>>281450943
I suppose part 2 Sasuke and the Sound Four just had more control over it. But VoTE Sasuke looked like he was having a blast hurting Naruto at the start.

>>281448475
>The shadow clone jutsu of the uchiha clan.
Shadow clones actually accomplish things

>>281445695
which is exactly what actually happens at one point in time, so you wonder why it's being avoided all the time

>Why not make Asuma the Hokage?

Kidomaru was literally in this arc.

>>281452298
>>281453775
Osakan

>>281453925
He has curly hair nigga.

I think one of the things that really brings Sakon and Ukon down is that, compared to the other sound 4, they don't really have any unique character defining traits, which really makes them forgettable, even with their unique joined twins kekkei genkai.
>Jirobo - the fatass who's a glutton
>Kidomaru - gamer with a 200 IQ
>Tayuya - plays a musical instrument and is really aggressive for a female character
>Sakon/Ukon - Uh, they're violent and they want to kill their opponents (something which is extremely common for Naruto villains)

The only good buffs Naruto have in this form is defense and stretchable limbs. Anything else isn't good enough.

>>281454493
>Uh, they're violent and they want to kill their opponents
They aren’t like that in the manga tho

>>281454570
What about the chakra shield or regen?

>>281454701
They literally are.

>>281454827
If they were, Kiba would be dead.

>>281452345
They're friends btw

>>281454869
I didn't say they were GOOD at it.

Naruto is fascist.

>>281441524
>>281441549
>>281440062
>>281440125
Kishimoto wants be to believe that a bit of smoke can block the sharingan's chakra vision but it can still see chakra a couple of feets/meters underground and even through Sasuke's own skin and chakra as well chakra on a microscopic level?

>>281447131
Multi-kills.

>>281440311
I might be alone but I always thought all of the cursed marks look lame, yes both forms.

>>281457949
Kishimoto...

Who's the most autistic Naruto character?

what do you think it feels like to be "almost out of chakra"?

>>281459345
>mentally drained, so you just want to die because you just don't give a shit anymore
>physically drained, so you just want to sleep forever right fucking now
Must be hell, frankly.

>>281459021
Sai

>>281441660
just forget what you saw lmao

>>281440423
>>281440531
>>281440698
>>281440706
The key line is "So you do have something special", Sasuke didn't know what the F it was and can now see it with his sharingan, the 2 other times he had no chakra. Only older villagers remember that Naruto even got Kurama.

>>281458857
They had a pretty cute dynamic, Jirobo was like an older brother who wanted her to act more proper.

>>281459345
Jerk off 5x in a row, or once if you're white.

>>281459569
Was his sharingan not on in the forrest of death?

>>281459617
Also cute how the sound 4 immediately ask him if he's feeling wrong when Shikamaru doesn't nag her, and when he denies they understand it's a ruse.

>>281459569
That line insinuates that he didn't even know for sure that Naruto had something special in him and only suspected it, which is still retarded.

>>281440311
Literally two retards fighting to see who is more retarded

>Turns into a naked women for the sole purpose of making older men horny
>kissed multiple people, men and women alike, before being in a relationship
>has more than 1 child (something really rare in this world)
Narutobros...is our hero a slut?

>>281443852
>gets bullied
>obliterates the whole village when trying to punch of his bullies
Orochimaru was dumb and gay for Sharingan boys

>>281459695
Nah he was too scared, and Orochimaru sealed it pretty soon

>>281459884
Narratively Sasuke thinks Naruto is beneath him, and he wouldn't have known what it is that let him pull off the stuff he did beyond having lots of chakra and determination, that's why he connects it to what Itachi says in that panel

>>281459617
Do you think she cared about him at all

>Doesn't know Naruto's feelings are mutual to his until Naruto made it obvious for the 5th time
>Thought Naruto could just normally change his chakra and eye color until solo king pointed out it was something special
Tardsuke...

>>281444061
Akamaru would rape her while Kiba watches from the cuck chair

>>281460486
Slow down on the porn addiction there, buddy.

>>281460328
She was his main bully.

>>281460403
Emotionally stunted teenager, pls understan

>>281460548
Maybe she's one of those tsundes?

CM2 Sasuke vs Two Headed Wolf Kiba?

>>281454712
Chakra shield is the defense I'm talking about. Regeneration is good, but it doesn't stop someone just a strong or stronger from knocking him out. Also while the chakra form has good defense, it has a big Con that shows up soon. I don't even think the regeneration can stop the Con.

>>281445266
Literally me finishing highschool right now

>>281444061
We litterally never see Kiba fighting without drugs in all of part 1, and I don't think he gets new fights in part 2
>>281460604
Sasuke can dodge, but if they marked his smell probably they win.

>>281445904
>of course I love my sons equally
>sacrifices himself for Itachi
Were all of Uchihas this retarded?

>>281460580
She's not attracted to Jirobo.

>>281460713
>We litterally never see Kiba fighting without drugs
He did blitz Naruto and elbow bashed him hard enough to make him bleed in their fight with no drugs involved.

>>281460813
Jirobo, please stop posting.

>>281446806
Why is she so cool?

>>281460613
The con is probably me miss remembering if it's from the chakra cloak or from Sasuke. But we'll see.

>>281458857
Me too Jirobo...me too....

These two were definitely up to something

>>281460798
Didn't he use a military ration pill?

>>281447929
He used the dog in order know their location
Shikamaru didnt even know where they were going. The whole mission was a suicide

>>281460962
That was before.

This fight is just a repeat of Choji vs Jirobo, except if Jirobo won.

>>281461034
Was thinking the same, they just activate their supermodes and stomp each other, it's slightly better done but the enderlying problem is the same.

>>281461034
Jirobo winning would be more believable than Sasuke winning lmao.

>>281461104
Choji vs Jirobo has more emotional weight to it

Shartruto is so pathetic, cannot even phase GODrobo

>>281461225
>14 years old btw

>>281461169
I respectfully disagree, Choji was just a retread of other characters but more out of nowhere, Jirobo was a wet blanket and the ending of the fight was obvious since the start.

>>281461138
>>281461169
>>281461225
How's the internet in the pure lands, Jirobo?

>>281461322
1TB download and upload speed
plus it's free

>>281461263
I've seen 14 year olds that size before and I think the hairline must just be a shaved/stylistic choice
Also did Naruto really get clowned on by every member of the sound5? I think the only one who maybe didn't land a blow was Sakon/Ukon

>>281461360
Sakon grabbed his rasengan and i believe Kido only hit his clones.

>>281461382
Kido still shook him off like a fly while he was handling the entire Konoha squad by himself

>>281461276
Felt like something for Hinata but Kishimoto's misogyny spoke louder and he changed it for Choji.

>>281461465
she's saying this to Jirobo while he eats her crotch

>>281461594
jerk off before posting

>>281461382
>Sakon grabbed his rasengan and i believe Kido only hit his clones.
when did that happen?

>>281440311
THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

>>281463081
Reread the previous volume

>>281463325
>>281463351
>>281463393

Cute flatties

>>281463427
sweet fucking jesus

this remind me, something aobut these hot springs
back when naruto met jiraiya, when he took naruto to "investigate", do missions and stuff, jiraiya always spied the girls, jiraiya himself wanted him to do the same, to which naruto complained and said "he isn't into that stuff" or "he doesnt understand whats the big deal about it"
but then all hot springs episodes and regular ones too have naruto fantasizing about spying sakura and do that stuff. and this is kid naruto

what the fuck is that contradiction?

oh

Jirobo would DOME both of these fools with relative ease.

>>281463729
>but then all hot springs episodes and regular ones too have naruto fantasizing about spying sakura and do that stuff. and this is kid naruto
Probably the difference between Kishi writing and filler writing

>>281464070
Do you guys think the trio dynamic would improve if Ino replaced Sakura?

>>281464065
similarily, og naruto had multiple fillers about naruto being very vocal about being shitscared of ghosts and paranormal stuff. in shippuden there was an episode (don't rememer if filler) involving ghosts, and he acted strong. turns out it was really paranormal or something like that and he was scared, like any other normal person
dont remember if that was kid or teen naruto

>>281463619
>>281463654
>>281463325
Sasuke left this to live with snake Michael Jackson???

>>281464149
Ino isn’t a bitch and would get along with Naruto just fine, she wouldn’t insult him for being an orphan. She would be a lot more useful than Sakura.

>>281464191
He was blinded by the BBC

Big Brother Cock

>>281463427
>>281463763
Oh my

>>281464149
there is thing about team 10 not being just a coincidence
InoShikaCho you know

>>281464065
>Probably the difference between Kishi writing and heterosexual writing

>>281464277
A very unbalanced team ngl.
>enemy capture, enemy capture, big guy
People have said it before but all most of the genin teams are super unbalanced for some reason. You'd think you would want an all-rounder than a squad that does one thing only.

Balanced teams:
>Neji
>Naruto
>Tenten

>Shino
>Lee
>Sakura

>Sasuke
>Kiba
>Ino

>Shikamaru
>Choji
>Hinata

>>281463081
It was the clones rasengan iirc and then Kiba drills through the clone

fuck, this filler. episode 181. it was fun but also kicked me in many parts, almost made me cry
rock lee organizing a hot spring meeting between friends after seeing naruto feeling down in his house because he is alone
a crying rock lee after accused by his friends and doubting his purity, him being so pure he is unable to be argument back
the boys later that night visiting naruto to have a fun friends time
naruto wants them to stay more time but it's late they have to leave and return to their houses, hence mp4 related

the fuck was this filler??
>it's called "prologue to Road Ninja"
oh, maybe it has something to do with whatever this thing is??

>>281464733
and a cliffhanger...
...?

>>281464065
Let's not act like Kishimoto is consistent with Naruto's sexuality.

>>281464149
No, not at all.
>>281464198
Kenchi...

>>281464768
It was a tie in to a movie that totally wasted its premise (a mirror world where everyone's personality is flipped)

>the most based Hokage
>dies to a bunch of lightning niggas

>>281464370
We'll never be as lucky as Hinata.

>>281465062
Kishi can always retcon it if he cared, which he doesn’t

>>281465062
Color me shocked

>>281464733
>episode 181
wtf no, 311*. how did I even
whatever

>>281465050
shippuden has weird fillers. There was this weird filler about sakura losing her memory, a tie-in apparently to I-dont-remember-what
then the "Chikara" filler arc which plays literally like a rejected movie in episode format for some reason (that filler was awesome)
and now this...

>>281465062
>water lost to lightning
i think it makes sense :^)

>>281465238
He overspecialized into the red eye niggas and forgot all about the lightning niggas.
His last documented words were ''FUCK UCHIIIHAAAAAAaaaa--..''

Chapter 232: The Final Valley

>>281445462
>how do you solve the gore problem

>>281463729
Is the implication that he saw naked ladies so many times when practicing his jutsu peeping doesn't do anything for him anymore? I like to think it is and not just Kishimoto's usual faggotry.

>>281447131
>one kill every 30 seconds.
How fast could Minato kill the Uchiha?
500 kills per minute is possible for the fastest ninja ever?

Random thought, but Might Guy's dad created the 8 Gates, right? Was it ever actually explained how he figured that out? Because it suddenly struck me as kind of weird that none of the OCULAR JUTSU clans seemed to be aware of them despite having varying degrees of enhanced detection of chakra output, hell before Lee's fight with Gaara it seems like Kakashi was the only other person besides Guy and Lee that knew that they existed at all.

>>281463729
Naruto has shame. He's not going to openly admit to being a pervert.

>>281465302
>sexy jutsu
oh yeah and THAT. I thought about that all the time but forgot to argument it here somewho lol fuck me

>>281465313
Naruto is throwing shade at Sasuke there?

>>281465334
>>281465361
>>281465381
I don’t like Kishi’s habit of zooming out whenever an impact is happening.

>>281464175
That was filler too. Naruto never meets any ghosts in the manga besides Hagoromo if you count him.

>>281465334
Why didn't you try to dodge it?

>>281465401
>Sasuke is hardly able to stand after that
Ok Narutobros, all he has to do is stall and Sasuke's low stamina will do the trick.

>>281465417
Ummmmmmmmmm

regen?

>>281465427
Clones! That’s a good trick!

>>281465381
>>281465401
It ain't no Devil Gene, but
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPWDlEAvClk

>>281465417
This honestly a fat load of bullshit, Kurama's chakra has done nothing but heal Naruto and NOW you want to tell me it actually hurts Naruto?

>>281463729
Naruto is heterosexual but Kurama is homosexual. Exposure to Kurama's chakra turns him temporarily gay. When he was with Jiraiya he had his fox chakra unsealed which is why he lost interest in women. During fights with Sasuke he becomes turbocharged with fox chakra which also makes him turbogay for Sasuke.

>>281465436
What a short "battle".

>>281465417
Sasuke knows about this but not about Madara?
>>281465436
Nooo Naruto don't listen to him!

>>281465457
>Iruka just chilling in the bottom left corner

>>281465457
Hey, there's Primate Shikamaru! The OG Shikamaru!

>>281465457
Why all the unrelated panels?>>281465470
Anon, this is copium and you know it.

>>281465499
Has Sauce ever spoken to Iruka?

>>281465236
>There was this weird filler about sakura losing her memory
That was a tie in to the same movie. That Sakura didn't lose her memory, she came from the alternate world. Of course, they didn't give her a switched personality because the new personality would actually be good

>>281465359
imaging making clones and make them turn into sakura
and then you know..
imagine not just stopping as sakura..
the imagination...

fuck I never thought about this stuff as a kid lol

>>281465457
>>281465512
>Sasuke and Naruto have so few moments together that Kishi had to add panels of other characters for this
Lmao.
>>281465515
When they pass the forrest of death.

>>281465544
NOOOOOOO NARUTO
DON'T COMMIT TO THE CLASH!!!
YOU HAVE TO STALL!!!!!

>>281463763
>>281463619
I remember back then gooning to edited images of the hotspring episodes. My favorite was one with all konoha girls naked

>>281465353
Nah this seems easy to explain
>ocular genetic jutsu clans like Byakugan know that there are "nodes" in the flow of chakra
>they focus on manipulating other people's flow in order to beat them or foresee their moves
>some try to manipulate the "nodes" of their own body but they fail, it's too difficult or would require to change the entire style of their school to be way more focused on a different type of taijutsu
>they give up
>this knowledge is kept secret because it's useful info
How the 8 Gates were discovered
>some mega autist (Might's dad) trains so much that just has an intuition and manipulates his chakra so much that he FEELS those nodes
>understands by instinct what the ocular jutsu clans learned by observation
Pretty simple
>it seems like Kakashi was the only other person besides Guy and Lee that knew that they existed at all.
It was a secret 'cause it was exceptionally dangerous and suicidal for almost everyone, no?

>>281465457
This is honestly a great spread and the montage that happens in the anime is good too.

La Idiota Naruto…

>>281465585
With the way Naruto forms this Rasengan shouldn’t it be like a pseudo Tailed Beast Bomb?

>>281465536
aaaah I remember I took this screenshot now. I remember the episode was called "road to sakura"
it didnt hit me until now, idk I just didnt give it much thought I just wanted to continue the main episodes
if there is a "road to sakura", it would be cool if other characters had their episodes too...

>>281465602
did he ever make that kind of special chidori again?

this fight is a lot dumber than what i remembered

>>281465585
Naruto has enough control to form 1 handed ransengans now?

>>281465544
>Chidori starts off normal here
>>281465602
>Then completely changes form and color here
How did CM2 change the jutsu so drastically?

>>281465617
What is Naruto thinking? If Sasuke runs out of steam and he winst this clash Sasuke will get LiveLeaked by the turbo kurama Rasengan.

>>281465624
I believe it is black when he uses it in CS2 mode. Kakashi's is also black when he uses Obito's six paths sage chakra.
>>281465633
He's using the cloak to form it.

>>281465624
I’m almost positive this is the only time it ever shows up.

>>281465624
No.

Chapter 232: The Final Valley

END
Tomorrow: The Worst Ending...!!

>>281465536
>>281465623
>Movie implies it's a genjutsu world created by Tobi
>Anime filler than implies it's straight up another dimension

>>281465627
That’s because all the cool parts people remember besides from this final clash were anime only. It’s such a nothing fight in the manga. Naruto was carried so much more by its anime than I ever thought.

>>281465688
>The Worst Ending...!!
Naruto gets cancelled next chapter because sales tanked from all the flashbacks and talking?

>>281465283
It's just Sakura looking like °_°

>>281465688
Damn, even the story thinks Sasuke shouldn't have won.

>>281465353
I don't think he created them. They're not a technique, they're physical parts of the body everyone has. He just figured out how to train to open them and taught that to Guy.

>>281465283
Bold piece of art Kishi, really striking and creative.

>>281465283
cuuuuuuuuute

>>281465688
Funny, the coloring feels like it improves a ton with elements of pure black

>>281465394
Kishimoto's paneling is horrendous. Most panels are unreadable; the action scenes are the worst, but even dialogue has such bad flow

>>281465345
Easily. He kills 50 stone ninja in a split second in Kakashi Gaiden.

>>281465334
I imagine that Tsunade will eventually have costs coming up for the destruction of a historical site

>>281465394
Same. It makes the action more boring than anything

>>281465758
Shut up

>>281465050
It wasted its best creation, which was Bitchnata.

>>281465776
Why does his hair turn white here? For contrast?

>>281465457
Even the fucking kiss is there

>>281465573
anecdote
I was like 9-10 when I watched naruto on Cartoon Network, shippuden was barely new (something I vaguely head of like DB AF), and we didnt have internet (it was the late 2000s in my country)
me and my older brother would go to these places called cybercafe. I minded my own bussiness and the samw for him. I remember one time, back at our home, he told me all excited, talked he saw a picture where Kakashi I think was posing with his arms up, like victory or triumph pose, with all the naruto girls being naked surrounding him. I was like "wow!!! for real!?! :O" and he said "yeah!". I obviously didnt understand porn or anything like that aswell
back then I was very, very innocent. And I didn't even know the concept of fan stuff, so all sounded official to me, which left me amazed. but it was just that, something I heard from my brother, like a myth or something like that, never saw the picture

lol

>>281465796
Traced from toei's Dragon ball

man alot of iconic moments from this fight were anime only

>>281465624
Anons here are a bit forgetful, but he does use a purely black Chidori one more time later.

>>281465807
I meam he explicitly told me that was called "hentai". I remember the word
it all was new and awesome on a myth-level back then lol

I miss innocent times, back when everything was magical

>>281465841
Not the same.

>>281465642
>How did CM2 change the jutsu so drastically?
Sage chakra
>>281465688
Thank you OP.
>>281465694
I think even in the movie Tobi just said it was another world created by the limited tsukuyomi, never explaining the details.

>>281465866
It's pretty much the same.

>>281465841
I don't consider that the same kind of Chidori.

>>281465888
He wasn't in CM2, not the same.

Anime carries this hard.

>>281465865
This is the last time Sakon appears until Kishimoto remembers him for Sagebuto.

>>281465899
And yet here he is here in CSM2, using Chidori, and it's not black.

>>281465485
>>281465570
>>281465658
He really needs to scratch his headband.

>>281465485
>Sasuke knows about this but not about Madara?
retcon

Sasuke trying to end the fight quickly while using lethal attacks and Naruto doing everything in his power to stall and take Sasuke in would make for an interesting fight dynamic. Shame.

>>281465485
So fucking weird how Sasuke didn't even know about his clan's infamous leader. Even Obito knew who he was.

>>281465781
this is just Anko

>>281465771
Take a random panel
Red is eye focus flow, green is inertia of the focused subject
This starts with a top-right to extreme left flow with an arched body following inertia; then the second panel is kinda redundant by repeating the first, and then the real problem is the third, where the inertia shown shifts by 90° compared to the perspective and forces this bad unflow of the eye upwards; then it zooms on Sasuke, slowing down with 2 baloons and then it again goes wrong by going against the flow with Naruto moving with his body arched against the right-left flow and with his inertia towards the top right, were our eyes are coming from.
The last two panels are were the action goes to die, being yet again redundant and only showing the aftermath of an action with minimal buildup; at least the very last shot prepares the page-turning, so it not a total disaster

>>281466031
>just recycles old drawings for a spread
This is Kokoro Ga level

>>281466031
Most of these experiences are Naruto’s because Sasuke is just so abysmally disconnected from the entire story.

>>281466010
Naruto is a retard, but he didn't actually know anything about CS2's mechanics

>>281465781
>>281466053
>RtN Hinata is just Anko
>RtN Naruto is just Obito
Holy fuck!

>>281465984
That's my point.

>>281464733
>>281464768
>>281465236
Stop pretending like you've never heard of RoTN before.

>>281466117
Sasuke looked visibly hurt and tired though.

>>281466174
You expect people to have watched every movie?

>>281466144
Memma isn't a loser who won the genetic lottery though, hell he mostly did his shit for giggles.

>>281466117
>Wow Sasuke, your chakra is going down
>Wow Sasuke, your bruises aren’t healing up

>>281466192
>>281466225
>Naruto is a retard

>>281466213
The biggest chad move Naruto could have done is ignore the challenge into the clash. To not indulge Sasuke at all.

>>281465781
Should've been her personality when Toneri was mind-controlling her to fight Naruto in The Last. Should've stepped on Naruto too

>>281466144
holy shit
>>281465781
>>281466053
i mean

>>281466244
>Naruto is a retard

>>281466211
He surely saw the bath scene from that filler.

>>281466244
He's also supposed to be battle smart or a trickster.

>>281466220
It's more accounting for RtN Naruto being a black-haired masked villain.

>>281466174
this is my first time watchin shippuden in the first place, don't have time to worry about that now. i skipped og naruto movies too

>>281465401
god this design is such garbage it's unreal. Did we ever get to see what other designs got passed over for this?

>>281465417
casually contradicting the established rules of kurama chakra to create fake tension pure kino

>>281465602
is it ever established how long Sasuke can hold this if his opponent doesn't immediately contest it?

It's not possible to be overly critical of this writing. People call this the goku vs vegeta moment lmao

>>281466288
>He's also supposed to be battle smart
???
He attacks like a mong every enemy head on, his most prized tecnique ever is a nuclear attack that he brings by hand to his opponent
>trickster
his most trickster tecnique was the harem jutsu, which, to be honest, saved the entire world

>>281466326
>People call this the goku vs vegeta moment lmao
When Dragon Ball has unironically better thought out writing, themes and narrative than you

>>281466326
>is it ever established how long Sasuke can hold this
No but in the chunin exam his skin started to peel when he was holding it. So there is that.

>>281465865
>Sakon suggesting to not overuse it
>When him and Ukon activated it at random and kept it active for most of the fight for no reason.

>>281466288
>He's also supposed to be battle smart
only when the plot calls for it, most other times he's a retard who surprises his own allies rather than the enemy like in the Haku fight

>>281466326
You can tell not even Kishimoto liked this form because Sasuke always becomes a huge chakralet whenever he uses it.
I think Kidomaru and Sakon were in their CM2 for longer than Sasuke ever was.

My impressions of classic

Started great; the Zabuza arc was consistent and with good stakes. I dare to say Naruto had the most solid and fun start of all shonen. We get to see a glimpse of the world of Naruto and the battle system right through a jomnin battle (Kakashi vs Zabuza). Water jutsu, substitution jutsu, summoning jutsu, ice jutsu, fire jutsu, clone jutsu, lightning jutsu... Anyway, it opens with lots of possibilities for the future.

Chunnin exams right next was a bold move; we could have enjoyed a bit more of Team 7 together, but overall it was a good arc. Orochimaru was a good villain. This arc had some inconsistencies, and the writing got less refined, but it was still solid, and the problems were no big deal.

The Konoha invasion was probably my favorite arc; this is where Naruto peaked, and his fight against Gaara was his greatest moment. Unfortunately, it will take until Rasen-Shuriken for us to see that greatness returning again. Another unfortunate event is this is the last time we will see Sasuke as an enjoyable character.

The Tsunade arc was great. I say that because I love her tits, and I love Shizune. Besides, that is a good training arc. I know Naruto beat Kabuto here, and his learning Rasengan was a great moment, but I still think it was forced the way Kabuto was defeated. But I never liked that character, so I forgive Kishi.

Sasuke retrieval arc... Well, to be honest, I didn't like any of the fights (maybe only Neji and Shikamaru). Naruto being treated as a sack of shit from beginning to end was painful to read, and even the Kurama mode, one of the coolest aspects of the classic, was treated as a joke. I really thought Naruto vs Sasuke would redeem it, but honestly it was worse in the manga than in the anime. Yeah, I know the anime jerked off Sasuke, but it's better than lots of nothing between pages. I will give a 7/10 because I think the good things overlap the bad ones, but I think honestly rating it would be 6/10.

>Sasuke even while being roided up has less chakra than Sakon and Ukon

>>281465457
Was the manga in risk of getting axed? Why would Kishi do this?

>>281465807
>where Kakashi I think
For a moment I thought you would say THAT tatoo image of kakashi lol

>>281465457
holy sovl
I was wondering if these were all redrawn or if they were just stitched together from old manga panels, but the old shikamaru design is there so I think it's the latter

After we're done with this shit, we're heading for the most popular, but also most controversial part of the series: Part II (Shippuden). We're almost there.

>>281466263
the best naruto bitches always wear fishnets, prove me wrong

>>281466447
Imma do something special when shippuden starts

>>281466393

The Chuunin exams is a clusterfuck that people only like because it's the only part in Naruto where you had nonstop fights with every character and their very personalized style, a lot of tactics and weird tecniques before everything about the battle system went to shit and became big energy attack and stronger number fights.
If you try to follow a narrative scheme for every character and their arc during the exam you'll see how schizofrenic it is from anyone's point of view; in this very thread anons noticed how Sasuke was unconscious for most of the arc and has no idea what the fuck is going on in his own story

>>281466447
Tomorrow is when we first see THEM, right?

>>281466447
Every part 2 chapter is either filled with bullshit or with nothing, i'm not looking forward for the first 100 days of part 2.

>>281466427
>THAT tatoo image of kakashi lol
what? lol

>>281465688
STOOOOOOOOP IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

>>281466455
You're not
hinata wears it beneath her coat

>>281465283
Only one who can draw her this cute.

>>281466447
I'm looking forward to Kakashi Gaiden. Shippuden won't get fun until Sai starts dunking on Naruto and Sakura

>>281466554
why didn't minato put his seal on him?

>>281465417
>AIEEE KISHI-SAMA TASUKETEE YOU NEED TO NERF NARDO A BIT MORE! WRITE SOME DOWNSIDE OF THE JINCHURIKI CHAKARA CLOAK THAT CONTRADICTS ITS POWER AND WILL NEVER BE BROUGHT AGAIN!

>>281466582
Why did Minato curse his child with a Kurama? What was Hiruzen not willing to take it in?

>>281466498
open by your own risk

>>281466609
It kind of IS brought up again when he goes 4 tails...but only in the first time, he somehow recovered completely fine when going 8 tails against pain.

>>281466609
>AND WILL NEVER BE BROUGHT AGAIN!
What? Kurama's chakra literally almost kills him when he goes 4-tails later on

>>281466645
one thing about the internet, once you watched bowser farting animation hardly anything can surprise you heh

>>281465417
This is the Con I was talking about.

>>281466648
>>281466681
Yes, the 4 tails when his skin melts and he loses all consciousness. The normal chakra cloak never had any downside later on.

Afterparty thread after this?

>>281466930
Sure.

>>281466930
Go for it.

>>281466809
One lariat would decapitate all of the Konoha girls standing in a row.

>>281466809
The normal chakra cloak was causing his Kagebunshin to feel pain. Jiraya himself said that it hurt him

>>281467018
Not even a cloak, that was just regular ass red eyes chakra.

>>281467103
I'm talking about his "fight" with Deidara

>>281467151
The clones were hurting even before he got a cloak.

Fuck it, i'm going to make it.

Bread baked.

>>281467688
Danke.

>>281465457
>>281465518
there are these moments where Kishimoto really pulls at you as a storyteller. I fucking love these two pages. You wide shot of the whole series, many moments showing the battles, characters overcome, funny moments, and you reflect on the world you've been shown so far. and then
>>281465518
this page just big dicks you, no wonder people love Itachi. As a plot device, he single handedly made Sasuke drop and betray everything he did for power. Raw aura and writing kino to deliver this one two reminder punch before the final clash.

>>281465688
meh ending to the fight. Not only does this feel less impactful than the clash on the water, it also makes the outcome super predictable. At least when it was this back-and-forth between the sharingan and fox chakra you didn’t know what to expect.

>>281465688
Thanks, OP.
