Believe it!
Thanks for joining and reading.
We've made it to the end of Part 1, lads.

>>281621460
i knew that was his daddy when we first saw his original design

>>281621490
Does Orochimaru really not give a shit about all of the sound 4 dying? I can understand Kimimaro since he was at death's door, but the others were his best henchmen.

Cute

>>281621651
Wasn't he on another mission with his dad? Why would he be butthurt about not going with them?

>>281621642
He can Edo Tensei them all anyway

>>281621651
>shino being butthurt
>>281621719
>hinata fainting
God, we're already seeing the one-note cracks forming...

>>281621490
>Kabuto! You here? Boy, I haven't seen you since the chunin prelims! What are you doing here, did you betray konoha in exchange for power too? Did your teammates try to force you to come back as well?

>>281621719
>fainted dead away
She deadass fainted ong

>>281621806
Why is Tenten so erotic here?
Does she want the Little Green Beast of Konoha's Little Beast?

Sayanara for now, best girl

>>281621562
Shizunebros, we are a prodigy on par with a main character.

>>281621854
Her healing with Neji was top-tier.

>>281621651
>Shino sulking because he knows the mission would've gone off without a hitch if he was there.

>>281621806
What is Tenten's expression supposed to convey?

>>281621562
is that an insult?

>>281621651
>>281621696
Seeing him training already (I know it's been 3 months, it's still just little after we saw him in Shizune's ritual chamber) makes me reallize I would preferred if he received a scar from Kidomaru's attack, to add a bit of weight to the arc.

>>281621881
Hey that guy looks like Naruto

>>281621881
>this Hokage business is tougher that it looks
>90% paperwork

>>281621625
Maybe learn a new trick Kiba? Learn your chakra nature.

>>281621806
gai-bros? the fuck is this

>>281621460
He looks so polite, I bet he couldn’t even kill a fly

>>281621719
>She's so embarassed
Why though, she was shy but, she never was that embarassed, what changed so much?

>>281621460
I wonder if this nigga had any child

>>281621490
>>281621515
An AU where Orochimaru isn't forced to switch before Sasuke arrives would have been interesting just to see how the latter shits himself instead of acting like hot shit.

>>281621651
>>281621696
If I was writing this I would have Neji train Hinata right here.

>>281621490
Didn't Sasuke arrive at night? What did they do in that time?

>>281621809
You just blew my mind.

>>281621700
He knew he wont do shit anymore in the series

>>281621788
I ship them.

>>281621490
Orochimaru has no more minions, just imprisoned slaves.

>>281621651
>>281621696
What a wholesome resolution, Hiashi allowing the daughter whom he called worthless and sent away to get raped by giant centipedes to serve him tea. Truly inspiring and well-rounded character arc.

>>281621651
>>281621696
Holy FUARK, Neji is going to get so damn STRONG

>>281621881
Absolutely, the ritualistic approach was so peculiar

>>281621806
The future looks bright Les-bros!!

>>281621845
It's really weird that they didn't show Gaara interacting with Naruto at all here. It would've helped justify Naruto acting so schizophrenic over wanting to save Gaara in the next arc.

>>281621809
This is Kishimoto writing, if the reader knows so do the characters regardless of logic

>>281621845
Gaara not visiting Naruto feels like a waste.

>>281621881
Tsunade you fucking cunt you nearly got all of Shikamaru's squad killed by sending them after Orochimaru's goons. The fact that none of them died is a miracle.

>>281621900
>Iruka pays Naruto's ramen, eating with him
>Jiraiya steals his money to pay hookers
And people wonder why Iruka is beloved.

>>281621809
I can believe Sasuke was told after the invasion, for the most part.

>>281622035
>and sent away to get raped by giant centipedes
I despise Hiashi, but since when is he Zouken?

One more conversation like proud failure before the finals would've done these two better.

>>281622024
Choji and Asuma?

>>281621788
Genuinely, what the fuck was Kishi thinking with Choji's forehead protector?

>>281622100
That would make sense but Naruto was completely flabbergasted Kabuto was with Orochimaru during the TRA.

>>281622131
EN FUCKING TER

>>281621920
That she's happy that Lee will do all of the hard work for her and she can just chill

>>281622062
He isn't supposed to know who the 4th is here. It'd make more sense if he pointed his arm at Hiruzen's face.

ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ

>>281622131
>BWOON
strange choice for a sound effect

>>281621490
>>281621515
>If you don't want to die
Ah yes, because Oro would totally kill Sasuke after desiring his body and sending his top soldiers just to get him, Tardbuto.

>>281622176
This looks really bad colored

>>281621806
I don't know if anyone has the frame I'm talking about but the anime version of Lee here looks ridiculously swole for some reason

>>281622176
WHY DOES ITACHI HAVE HIS SHARINGAN ON

>>281621535
>>281621562
A timeskip already? What the fuck? We just got the scene with Sasuke, was that also 3 Months after the retrieval?

>>281622125
oh hey, fate bro
>>281622131
>Didn't see Naruto win
>Didn't help him during the Retrieval Arc
>Didn't get to say goodbye
>Has to wait until she's 18 for sex and love finally
IT'S
NOT
FAIR

>>281622176
Why is Deidara hanging upside down?

>>281622222
he's in australia right now

>>281622081
The "Iruka to Jiraiya getting hookers" cucking pipeline

>>281622222
He was meant to be half-bat before Kishi changed his mind about the Akatsuki being monsters.

Conclusion to the Sasuke Recovery Mission arc and end of Part 1

Tomorrow intermission between Parts 1 and 2: Kakashi Gaiden Saga: The Mission Begins

>>281621881
This fucking line up

>>281622176
How old is Deidara here? He's pretty young in Shippuden.

>>281622131
>when orochimaru left our family
sasori really putting on the mafia-talk here

>>281621490
if Orochimaru only wanted Sasuke's body, why would he train him to get stronger? Why not put him in a tub like most experiments?

>>281621515
>He may not look it.. but the man before you is lord orochimaru
sasuke doesn't know what orochimaru looks like anyway. He's only ever seen him in disguise

Now that the dust has settled
Who had the best departure?

>>281622265
who the big nigga

>>281622265
His eyes here are really weird
>>281622277
According to the wiki he's 19 in part 2, so now he's 16

>>281621845
Do they really travel between entire nations on foot?

>>281622265
Desperately wish to know what the giant's deal was before Kishi dropped him.
Also
>Nine-tailed fox spirit
You think Kishi was even sure bijuus were a thing yet by here?

>Minato on the cover.
>Minato's photo on a panel.
>Naruto raises his fist proudly at Minato's face on the Hokage Mountain.
>We then cut to Akatsuki where we see their shadowy leader with spiky hair desiring the Kyuubi.
You cannot convince me Kishi didn't consider it early on.

>>281622300
Probably to strengthen the vessel he will have
>>281622314
KISHIMOTO WHY?

>>281621809
the idea of sasuke imagining an overly dramatic kabuto-retrieval-arc about yoroi and misumi which ends with them all confessing their eternal friendship to one another is pretty funny ngl

>>281622331
Kakuzu.

To those departing after Part 1: thanks for tuning in. If you're lingering and it may be your first time reading Part 2; hope you get something out of trying it.

>>281622176
>>281622265
This is supposed to be a spread.

>>281622362
Thanks OP!

>>281622176
MY MAN

>>281622341
I think he had an idea, not that he knew exactly.

>>281622365
>Kisame
>Kakuzu
>Konan
>Itachi
>Deidara
>Sasori
>Hidan
>Pain
>Zetsu
That should be it?

>>281622362
Never actually read the first 100 chapters of Shippuden

I think I picked up the manga during the pain arc

>>281622265
>>281622365
That massive Akatsuki member is one of the biggest (lol) memory holes in the manga.

>>281622253
>Kishi changed his mind
Was it him who changed his mind, or editors who made him?
Iirc they tard-wrangled him out of making Naruto a literal fox, and other characters being animals, too.

>>281621562
The glazing is not at all annoying and unsubtle.

>>281622265
did the manga-silhouettes have that static interference as well? I thought that was just an anime thing and in the manga they were just this shadowy grey

>>281622365
Thanks. I hate when they're uploaded inconsistently from sources.

>>281622365
>Akatsuki wa tsudotta

>>281622362
Thank you OP.

>>281622412
Probably it was the editors, yes.

>>281622314
Just how fucking little does Sasuke know about the plot and characters?

I cannot wait to see my GOAT again.

>>281622405
>Hidan
canonically I think that might actually be Hidan's predecessor. Hidan was still new in part 2, and this guy seems to remember when orochimaru was still part of the group
>>281622131

>>281622410
Probably Kakuzu was going to have multiple hearts and the hair bulging inside his cloak instead of just the masks and that's why he was gigantic.

>>281622341
>>281622365
Are the redesigns of the Akatsuki members ever explained inuniverse? Like maybe the characters with scrapped designs got killed during the 3 year timeskip?

>>281622442
He was unconscious/segregated for most of the Chuunin Exam, sees Naruto beating Gaara, Itachi puts him in a coma until Tsunade comes, goes with the Sound 4.
He knows basically nothing

>>281622504
Probably

>>281622504
>the characters with scrapped designs got killed during the 3 year timeskip
Yet again, Naruto readers writing headcannon to justify Kishimoto just being shit at making stuff up as he goes

>>281622490
I know the anime made some random guy with a sword be Hidan's predecessor before Kakuzu killed him in friendly fire to kill their opponent.

>>281622470
>discount Sasuke whose role could've easily been given to another kid from the Chunin Exams

>>281622504
It's never elaborated on. You can choose to imagine they all got killed and replaced off-screen but Bat-Guy having Deidara's speech mannerisms is Sasori in Hiruko fitting the more monster mash theming he wanted the Akatsuki to have is really telling that Kishi just wants you to pretend this page doesn't exist.

>>281622503
The guy by Sasori with the fedora looks like he was proto-Kakuzu.

>>281622265
thanks op!

>>281622504
This won't be the last time you'll see proto designs. The Rescue Gaara arc will have two designs that are not used, and one of them I think was Hidan (Kshimoto really didn't know what he was supposed to look like before he was unveiled).

>>281622365
Didn't know Han was part of the Akatsuki

>>281622660
>all but three wasted

>>281622646
Orochimaru looks like Gaara here.

>>281622346
Yeah, I'm a believer now. Shit it almost as subtle and Obito being Tobi.

>>281621696
Hanabisisters...we're already forgotten...
>>281621719
Kiba honestly acted more like a brother to Hinata than Neji.
>>281621806
I'll never understand why Kishi simply dropped LeeTen after this, even SP joked about them being divorced lmao.
>>281621998
That's what the anime did.
>>281622081
Iruka is Naruto's only real father figure.
>>281622131
>SP would spin this to excuse MANY stalker jokes about her that it became a core trait of hers in the fandom's mind
>Kishimoto would later somewhat canonized that
God dammit.
Also
>I'd better work hard myself
And you will accomplish nothing and YOU WILL LIKE IT!

>>281621881
Tobirama not taking off the faceplate for a photo makes him seem autistic.

>>281622660
>Han: "Wait... we're killing the Jinchuuriki? But I'm a...."
>Bolts out the cave.

>>281622710
>Tobirama
>Not acting autistic
choose one

>>281622710
It's his Magneto helmet. It protects him from enemy (Uchiha) genjutsu.

Cute

>>281622702
Neji's her cousin, not her brother.

>>281622176
>>281622265
No wonder Oda tends to be nondescript with his silhouettes. It looks ridiculous when you don't fully commit to something so specific.

>>281622176
So, it's easy to assume that Sasuke going to Oro wasn't in Itachi's plan, right?

>>281621809
>>281622356
LMAO

>>281622745
Lmao

This chapter having all the side characters training like they're gonna have an integral part in the timeskip. Lmao. Nice bait, Kishi.

>>281622796
At this point of the story Kishi had no idea what Itachi's plan even was

>>281621515
>>281621490
K-Kabuto-san?! What are you doing here? You mean to tell me you were working for Orochimaru-sama?!

>>281622760
I can see what that anon was talking about when he kept saying Sakura looks like Tsunade.

>>281622660
Fuu a cute. To me the Carrot of Naruto.

>>281622770
She considers Neji her brother though.

>>281622710
>Seem
>Implying

I feel if Sasuke understood the story in the damn manga he's in maybe his decisions would be different than they are in canon.

>>281621535
comfy

>>281622840
uh...

>>281622882
Is any ninja ever shown using a phone? It's full of landphones lines everywhere

>>281622840
Wasn't it kinda obvious that they looked alike given the parallels between Team 7 and the Sannin?

>>281622356
One day when he's really down, slightly regretting his choice, Sasuke just asks Kabuto, "how did you react when your friends tried to stop you from coming here?"
And Kabuto dies just a little bit inside

>>281622702
>I'd better work hard myself
>And you will accomplish nothing and YOU WILL LIKE IT!
Neji, the so-called genius of their clan almost jobbing to the first long-range guy he met screwed her over HARD, she is NOT allowed to eclipse him in any capacity.

>>281621535
>>281622879
>Bookshelf full of giant scrolls
Background details, but it honestly does lend to Naruto's aesthetic.

>>281621881
They already had photography when Hashirama was alive?

>>281622930
Which is why she will focus on medic ninjutsu so she can excel something Neji can't, which has been set up since her home-made ointment :)

>>281622883
hehe

>>281622787
It helps that the silhouettes he has are usually pretty fucking dull compared to the character designs we end up getting. I'm happy with the Akatsuki that we got in terms of designs, but the very visually monsterish villain group is always an interesting idea.

>>281622930
>she is NOT allowed to eclipse him in any capacity.
The problem is that war arc Hinata would still job to Kidomaru.

>>281621788
>Ino sweating
was she horny for thin choji

>>281623046
She wouldn't.

>>281622517
>knocked out in LoW
>knocked out in the forest of death
>knocked out during the prelims
>sidelined while Nardo beats Gaara
>knocked out during the search
>spends half of retrieval dead in a jar
Every arc this guy is snoozing. What a fucking jobber.

>>281623046
Vaccum palm fodderizes Kidomaru though.

>>281623046
Nah, the powercreep is too strong. She was able to air palm away one of the Ten Tails's attacks.

>>281622966
Not much time has passed since his death/rule. Could've been a brand new invention

>>281621806
>hfw applied for Tsunade medical training but they picked some other girl

>>281623057
Just like it was joked in 2020, the black and white pages make it look like Hashirama is wearing a durag, lol.

>>281621535
>>281621562
>be on the brink of death via suffocation
>another student brings you back
>just to suffocate again
What a life

>>281623057
Hashirama looks like Itachi here.
Maybe was something Kishi had in mind

>>281623093
You mean the one wood stick or the one where she had Kurama cloak.

>>281621881
What is Tsunade's stance on the Forest of Death

>>281623146
The one before Neji died and Naruto gave everyone 9 tails chakra

>>281623109
kek

I'm going to be honest here, there's no reason to believe a Zetsu and/or Mini juubi aren't stronger than VOTE1 1 tail Naruto and CM2 Sasuke.

>>281623093
Hinata stronk

>>281621625
>3 months later
>so how was your mission?
Really? Was this like the first time they’ve met in 3 months?

>>281623200
He was in recovery

>>281622205
literally just so you know it's him.

>>281623196
Yeash, there's no reason why Tobi or a Zetsu don't just kidnap Naruto at any point of the story prior to this

>>281622024
Ino and Asuma?

>>281623264
The only things that you'll manage to develop are an even bigger obsession for Naruto and two large mammary glands

>>281622315
mirin

>>281623180
That's the one.
>>281622315
CHAD Lee

>>281623305
still better than sakura kek

>>281623341
Sakura actually gets a W.

>>281623341
Mmm no

>>281623312
I really wish Kishimoto released the original designs for the Akatsuki members.

>>281623351
>>281623312
>>281622362
>>281622265
Arigatou, OP!

>>281623312
RE-ENTER

>>281622883
>>281622318
Tay winnied

>>281623375
And a flat chest.

>>281623422
Yes, and?

I bet Neji is going to be top-tier after his training! Maybe he'll even learn a few of the Gates!

>>281622215
>Didn't see Naruto win
Still don't know why Kabuto just robbed her and Kiba of that, they were rooting for Naruto hardest and it just feels like a relentless miss.

>>281623090
His web requires Susanoo+kagutsuchi to be destroyed
War arc feat to answer war arc feat
>>281623061
>>281623093
I was hyperbolically joking to say how underused she was

sex with tsunade

>>281622318
Ukon falling backwards into Crow and getting skewered will always be hilarious.

>>281622337
Yes

>>281623370
Is this Fujimoto?

>>281622205
Aurafarming

>>281623472
Wouldn't the gates be completely useless to Neji since his entire style revolves around internal damage

>>281623472
That huge crater Hiashi made in Konoha Crush. I always wanted to see if Neji could pull that range with his Rotation.

>>281623482
>His web requires Susanoo+kagutsuchi to be destroyed
...when used by Kabuto.

I hope you enjoyed Sasuke up until now. He peaked in part 1 and now it’s all downhill from here.

>>281622205
isn't it like 24/7 on at this point

>>281623508
Speed increase and more chakra output is always nice.

>>281622276
Minato is both serious and goofy.

>>281623523
Both of them have sage chakra

>>281622265
enterrrrrr

>>281623558
And it was still broken by gentle fist when he used it.

>>281623197
Stronger at least than 40.000 jobbers who died during the war.

>>281623312
>3 of the people in this image are still teenagers
Crazy to think about, good examples of what Kakashi said all the way back in the land of waves

>>281623588
Nejibros...

>>281622517
Knowing basically nothing actually explains a lot of his decisions, doesn't it?

>>281623375
It's not about the wins.
>>281623422
Or breasts size.

>>281621535
>>281621562
Wait, did Sakura just revive a dead fish?
Would that also work on dead people?
Is Edo Tensei a meme?

I want that mifunefag to get here and explain why is Kishimoto wasting nearly a full chapter on the irrelevant 11 for no reason.

>>281623479
being naruto is suffering

>>281622966
He only died about 50 or so years ago.

>>281623914
>99.99% of the Senju vanished in half a century

>>281623586
Hyuuga too op

>>281623305
Her Byakugan could see up to 10 kilometres and she got her own (useless) lion fist technique so that's something?

>>281622265
>big nigga
>upside down guy

>>281622365
I wonder how strong they are. If Itachi and Kisame didn’t want to fight Jiraiya, the boss might be Sannin level or even higher, which is crazy. Hope the series doesn’t jump the sharl with powercreep too soon.

>>281623952
Wow, she developed a binocular and a useless technique.
Still more than Neji

>>281621562
Shizune bros we cannot take this lying down.

>>281623952
>Not a single long range move to take advantage of that
Really Kishimoto?

>>281623991
>the boss might be Sannin level or even higher, which is crazy
Well that was Pain/Jiraya/Sage Naruto powerlevel at the end of Pain arc
>Hope the series doesn’t jump the sharl with powercreep too soon
The real, REAL powercreep is immediately after Pain arc

>>281623914
>>281623936
The Naruto timeline (and implied/associated lore like "why aren't there any Senju") is such a mess. Forget show don't tell, you've gotta create your own headcanons for why these things even happen. Were there just way too many Senju on the frontlines in the 3rd or 2nd Great Wars and a ton of their young got Niwaki'd? Maybe, who knows. Have another volume-long Uchiha flashback.

>>281622131
I have an outside theory that Kishimoto didn't include more scenes with Naruto and Hinata because he knew that if he did he'd have no excuse not to pair them up way before the end of the manga.

>>281621845
KISS OR AT LEAST HUG YOUR FUTURE BABY MAMA GODDAMNIT SHE'S SEEN YOU CRY

>>281624119
It's just another glaring example of Kishi not thinking things through. The Senju were clearly not supposed to be as important as they were presented later on.

>>281622745
>>281622808
Great now I can't unsee it.

>>281624206
It is now canon in my fanfic. Thank you guys.

>>281622627
This ending got me emotional when I saw it. Still affects me a bit now.

>>281624119
>It's the fucking Uchiha, they're poisoning the Senju clan one by one! The're killing us! In the darkness! The're putting venom in our food, our water, they're parasites! Every year the number of Senju is cut in half and you're telling me it's natural causes? Bullshit! We must secure the existence of our people and a future for Senju children! Kill'em all I say, those damn red-eyed rats!

>>281624100
That's what her air palm is for

>>281621651
This running gag would thereafter follow Shino all the way into filler hell and Shippuden. He was still salty about it in Boruto iirc. It became his entire character for the remainder of the series.

>>281624106
>The real, REAL powercreep is immediately after Pain arc
Nah, it was when Pain started flying like a DBZ character and effortlessly nuked all of Konoha.

>>281624266
>They turn the frickin' frogs gay

>>281624352
It doesn't cover even a full km.

>>281624409
It would be the slugs in his case

>>281624237
Goddammit, Shillfic anon

Fantasy Medieval Naruto

Or Wild WetNaruto?

Another piece of trivia: Hinata never really fainted out of embarrassment in the manga. The anime picked up this bit and integrated it into Hinata's character for the anime. Again, she would have to live on with this quirk for the remainder of the series (just like Shino).

Wow, I didn't remember this chapter being THIS influential in the anime.

>>281622365
Uhh why is there two Deidaras?

>>281624482
Anon that's Zetsu

>>281621806
>Stop, Tenten. You are you smiling at me like that?...

>>281624432
Were the slugs a Senju thing? I didn't remember so I didn't modify the quote because frogs exist either way.

>>281624534
No. At least, probably not. We never actually know how the Sannin met their respective summons and formed contracts with them.

>>281621991
I hate this final bit of Sasukewank. Not only does he get the biggest plot shield of the arc and comfortably dominates the best foxruto powerups while getting better, long term, stable powerups himself, but he also gets to be INTIMIDATING to Kabuto and trashtalk Oro

>>281624534
Some theorize that Hashirama was a slug sage, which does work.

Question.

If Naruto and Sasuke died in part 1 or early Shippuden, woudl they get revived like in the war arc?

>>281624477
>Hinata never really fainted out of embarrassment in the manga
Just you wait.

>>281621535
>>281621562
Sakura training while
Hinata serves tea to her abusers. kek
>>281621696
>>281621719

>>281624410
We never actually see its range.

>>281624631
If Sasuke died who cares, before part 2 (and for most of it) he was a shit tier ninja
If Naruto dies Kurama eventually returns to the world and that's a releveant problem
Part 1 Naruto without Kurama chakra is a shitter below Sasuke, who cares about reviving those two

>>281621562
>turning a genin reject into a prodigy
Tsunade is the GOAT teacher in all of Naruto

>>281624701
What kind of training did he do during the time-skip?

>>281624743
Drilling exam questions.

>>281622265
the giant nigga was probably kakuzu
and what the fuck silhouette is this

>>281622131
>I guess I'd better work hard myself
>Never shows Hinata training
>Same power level for the rest of the manga
Yeah this bitch better serve some more mocha tea and learn how to clean dishes just get pregnants at this moment why waste time

>Hiashi manhandling Byakugan Neji in BASE
Holy FUARK!

>>281624802
>Neji dies, Hinata takes her training more seriously, becomes Neji tier post timeskip.
It's that simple Kishi.

>>281621845
...... Why are they here? It's been 3 months...... Kishimoto.....

>>281624743
he trained his daughter how to ride a bike

>>281624874
>becomes Neji tier
WOW that will show how much she's grown
No way, Neji tier?
Amazing

>>281621881
Man these dialogues suck. It's just empty shit just there to fill the chapter and remind you exists!

>>281624887
An easy explanation is that they're politically charged foreign ambassadors and the Village just had a major crisis, so they had to wait for formal protocols to be done before having the permit to leave?

>>281624887
>Taking a stroll through Konoha

>>281624631
It's funny how with Batman-tier preptime and hundreds of graves robbed, the only Uchiha Kabuto got his hands on were Itachi and Madara. Sasuke's dad would've been a good one, Sasuke could at least find out if the theoretical coup was going down or not and put that to rest.

>>281622131

>>281624802
>just get pregnants
she is a shit mother, just look, father is absent, son acts like a toddler. daughter is autistic

>>281622131
So Akatsuki was in action 7 years ago with all their members??? WHY AREN'T THEY FETCHING THE BIJUU

>>281624381
You can tell this is a shitty meta Joke Kishi laughs to himself whenever he thinks about it, Shino's relationship with Sasuke was never deep enough for him to be that bummed about him leaving for Oro, it's effectively Shino acknowledging that he missed an opportunity of having one more fight before fadding to irrelevancy in part 2, which doesn't even make that much sense when he got a pretty good deal in part 1, even better than Kiba and Choji who actually went in the mission.
If anything, this gag should've gone to Tenten.

>>281625005
Seems like a deadbeat father problem to me.

>>281625005
This is the funniest shit I have seen in a long time
Boruto is so fucking shit

...why didn't the Akatsuki try to capture Shukaku after Konoha Crush?

>>281622176
What are "all your assignments"???? What the fuck were you doing these 7+3 years??????

>>281625005
Kishimoto channeled himself so hard in this scene.

>>281625095
They were "busy".

>>281623537
Peaked in Konoha Crush too.

>>281624798
That's Deidara, who was supposed to be a bat-like monster.

>>281624902
Some form of kaiten and not shitting out her spine while performing 64 palms would be an improvement for her don't you think?

>>281623312
Imu?

>Be Tobito
>Become high Jonin tier at 14
>Become Hokage+ tier at 30
>Be pretty much the strongest person currently alive.
>Nobody can touch you figuratively and literally.
>Do nothing and wait for the worst possible time to enact your plan.

>>281624384
Honestly yes but Deidara did similar things. Deidara is fucking insane

>>281624074
Damn

>>281624939
Kek, these are the posts that I love in these threads the most

>>281625014
They needed to, uh, collect money or something first.

>>281625101
Kakuzu was collecting bounties. Pain and Konan were running Rain (or dealing with Hanzo depending on the timeline). Sasori had a spy network. I don't know what the fuck the others ever did,

>>281622265
ENTER

>>281625137
Funny You say that, Kaiten is supposedly easier to learn than 64 palms according to Hiashi so it's odd that canon Hinata doesn't have it later on but learns 64 palms anyway.

>>281625137
And what will that accomplish in part 2 and war arc?

>>281623370
SO UGLY.

>>281625243
Depends, are we also willing to include Hinata in more story events in that scenario?

>>281622362
This is my third proper read of part 1. I went through the usual anime -> manga pipeline
>watch naruto
>watch filler hell
>watch shippuden up to the latest episode (kakuzu/hidan at the time)
>discover there is a japanese comic which is the source material (didn't know what manga was at the time)
>read the manga starting at hidan/kakuzu's arc
>catch up with the manga (early pain arc)
>notice I'm missing some info
>read from the beginning once
>years later, covid comes and with it the 1st naturo storytime (on a volume-per-day basis), that was my second read.
It has been interesting to see how many things I missed in both of my reads. Of course, I'm sticking around for Part 2.

>>281622578
Not really.

>>281625188
One Piece was still at Paradise when Naruto Part 1 ended, pipe down.

>>281625014
They were. They have kage from Kisame's village already, and Han, Roshi, Bubble Boy, and what's her face all apparently got off-screened sometime before or during the time-skip. They were basically just raising funds/resources/village trust acting as mercs.

>>281622131
stalking btw

>>281625243
Hiashi was able to singlehandedly knock back a ten tails tail, just let her surpass that

>>281623052
Ino's too superior to Sakura...

>>281625133
even as a bat silhouette, thats giga ass
looks like some fat shark stuck hanging to a ceiling

>>281625345
Hiashi is stronger than Neji though.

>>281625368
Right, so let Hinata surpass them.

>>281625314
Yes really.

>>281622355
But he didn't even want that, the only reason he waited 3 years is because of the limitations of the body change technique.

>>281625350
...at being a slut.

>>281625336
WHAT FUNDS
WHAT MERC MISSIONS
HOW DOES THIS HELP THEM FOR THEIR (POST RETCON, REAL) PLAN

why is the pinkshitter still falseflagging?

>>281625190
Obito was already Kage tier at 15 it's fucking crazy. He made Minato sweat

>>281625133
So, was Zetsu being the third reveal the general idea of a plant monster like Little Shop?

>>281625336
Roshi is taken care of by Kisame in Part 2.

>>281625389
Hinata fucking sucks. She has less feats than Ino

>>281625362
Kisame takes offense to this as he is the shark (Jaws) of the group

>>281625336
>raising funds/resources/village trust acting as mercs
And all of that to what end?
The plan is
>get tailed beasts
>activate Infinite Tsukuyomi
What funds are needed?
>but not everyone knew about the Infinite Tsukuyomi secret plan
Okay, why aren't those who know actually kidnapping tailed beast vessels?
Why isn't Obito just curbstomping everyone around his targets?
Why is he waiting decades for nothing?

>>281625410
No retard. For once THE ENTIRE ARC changes if you put someone other than Sai. Reread the arc

>>281623052
>oh no choji, our enemy is really strong, I guess you need to take out that pill and become really cute and handsome again

>>281625427
>>281625504
Listen, Kakuza has needs and he ain't gonna work for no broke-bitch organization.

>>281625427
>RETCON
Well, there you go.

>>281625451
And he was painted as the underdog with no talent who trains. Like Naruto.

>>281625451
he was on tree roids

>>281625479
Pipe down, Kenchi.

>>281625345
Or at least let her knock away a couple of spikes here before resorting to acting as a meat shield. Have her use the incomplete 64 palms combined with lion fists then catch a spike in the shoulder or leg and THEN go "it's over, i must sacrifice myself" mode.

>>281625519
>Kakuzu
What a loss

>>281625563
huh?

>>281622470
Broken ninjutsu when you think about it.

>>281625479
Your shit opinion is irrelevant. She should surpass Hiashi.

>>281623312
I knew the scan I read back in the day looked different!

>>281625629
>Being this new

COOLEST GUY posting will begin tomorrow

>>281625660
what about that was kenchi?

>>281625579
Literally just an extra page of fighting, both here and against Pain. That's all it would take to make her not feel like a wasted character.

>>281625672
Proping up Ino is pretty Kenchi to me.

>>281625664
Respect Kakuzu

>>281625686
And i guess some character moments here and there. But fandom by and large only cares about fightfaggotry so idk.

>>281625664
In fairness, at the time Naruto was probably the weakest jinchuuriki.

>>281625451
Minato had to figure out a never before seen SSS tier Jutsu on the spot. And he actually did, won the 1v1 with superior reaction time and everything. People tend to forget Minato's entire style as well; Tobi was Flying Raijin marked for life. If things went as planned, Tobito was a deadman, Minato can teleport in and out with a kunai to his head for the rest of time if need be, it's what he does to those first Iwa-nin in the Gaiden. Tobi and Minato are the worst people to fuck with in-universe because you can't ever go to sleep or hide if they want you dead, and dumbass picked a fight with the latter.

>>281625712
I want to I really do, but Kishimoto doesn't.

>>281625671
Cute snek

in which episode Naruto pees?

>>281625504
there are two plans going on, Pain doesn't know about the infinite Tsukuyomi. Pain plans to use the beasts to bomb everyone until they submit, he convinced everyone else to join by making them think he's building Outer Heaven

>>281625700
Since when the fuck did Ino pop up in that conversation chain?

>>281625296
Glad to hear.

>>281625579
Hinata does block one or two. She only goes for the meatshield option when she sees them coming super fast.

>>281625320
I know, and all I see is Kaguya with Imu, anyway.

>>281625451
>>281625536
It really feels like the series didn't realize just how broken and godlike Obito is compared to everyone else. Kamui is like the 2nd or 3rd strongest ability in the whole series, and he can spam it endlessly unlike the other MS users. The only ones who can really counter him are Kakashi (because he also has Kamui) and those with the Raijin teleportation (aka only 2 characters who are dead). One-eyed Obito could probably fight on equal grounds with Hashirama and Madara.
Obito is genuinely the biggest prodigy in the entire series. The only reason he wasn't a full on god was because he gave his other Kamui ability to Kakashi.

>>281624652
Listen, which one of them had a hugely emotional character set-up and a somber doomed fight against the genius of her class? THINK before you speak, my GOD.

>>281625757
>this is how retarded the average Hinata seether is
kek

>>281625536
to be fair he was a shitter before he got his MS, Naruto always had the 9tails

>>281625755
>I have a plan, Itachi!

>>281624119
Unloke many casea we can't even blame black zetsu, as he wants the cycle of reincarnatikns to continue, so he wouldn't try to exterminate Hashura's line, so I can only blame the other mandatory scapegoat
>Danzo did it.
either this or Jigen (who else could have done it)after killing Hashirama followed with killing random Senju for some reason.
Note, these are crack theories, before anyone take them seriously.

>>281625755
This still doesn't answer why Obito doesn't teleport around kidnapping tailed beast vessels.
Give me a reason why he never kidnapped baby Naruto while he was living alone as a child.

>>281625504
they need to find jutsu, please understand

>>281625825
oh, i missed that
my bad

>>281624074
Sauce?

>>281622055
>Naruto acting so schizophrenic over wanting to save Gaara in the next arc.
I remember reading a really good take on this.

I genuinely have no idea how Itachi is so loved and considered best brother. He's a goddamn demon.

>>281625877
And mess with the GOD OF SHINOBI, Hiruzen, himself? Are you insane?

>>281625877
Kishi didn't think about it so neither should you

>>281625515
You can just say that one of the kids from Konoha 11 were taken in/forced to join Root by Danzo after the SR arc and they were then tasked to kill him during the Bridge mission, but Naruto and co. manage to change their mind.
It's really not hard, retard-kun.

>>281625729
>image
I fucking loved the kisame-gai-shitposting back in the day

>>281624619
Is there any reason Tobirama never became a sage? He's a kage, of the senju clan, and being Hashirama's brother he should be a particularly receptive vessel for his cells to give himself a further boost.

>>281625890
>they're searching for new jutsu
>nobody in the Akatsuki uses any jutsu but the unique shit they were born with
Unless you're telling me someone else other than Deidara knows Explosion Jutsu

>>281625536
The story starts making a lot more sense once you realize that Naruto parallels are the real talented prodigies, while Sasuke parallels are the real plucky underdogs.

>>281625929
Pick your trio

>>281625915
The average Naruto fan isn't that intelligent.

>>281625958
He wanted to do his own thing. He was making a necromancer/assassin build.

genuinely, why should Sasuke be loyle to Konoha, even not taking into account the big reveal later on?

>>281625929
>>281625990
ugly fucking vomit

>>281621719
>Faints at the sight of Naruto being injured
I'm surprised she doesn't hold a massive grudge against Sasuke for this

>>281625958
Tobirama was an untalented hardworker while Hashirama was a prodigy.
(also it's really funny how Hashirama was supposed to be the reincarnation of Ashura who was an untalented failure and yet Hashirama is pretty much a god and his DNA is the most gamebreaking shit in existence)

it smells like shit in here

>>281625978
Problem is that the divine presence personified of the Ninja world himself said the opposite

>>281626064
canon

>>281625634
I mean, so should Neji but i guess Kishi hated him after being more popular than Shika for a time.

>>281626125
That would go against Naruto's will to forgive Sasuke, and you can't have that.

>>281625757
>She has less feats than Ino

>Sasuke working his ass off to catch up to Naruto who grew leaps and bounds just by not wasting his fucking time for once
this talent vs hard work shit never made any sense, even before shippuden

>>281626151
Maybe the sage was just shitposting, there is no possible way that someone like Hashirama can be considered “untalented”

>>281625919
>GOD OF SHINOBI, Hiruzen
Featless

>>281622055
There was a filler arc right before the last episode that actually develops Naruto and Gaara's relationship.

>>281625504
Also remember, Pain actually sent Itachi and Kisame to catch Naruto, despite them having to wait to extract it for the others, he simply didn't follow it up when they failed.

What an embarassement of an evil organization

>>281626182
what exactly did Sasuke do wrong?

>>281625795
To be fair you can mess up with Obito with good combos. If you attack while he touches you. The issue is that he somehow has GOD TIER durability, reflexes, taijutsu... Meaning catching him off guard is a nightmare and he'll just shrug off your triple Rasengan to the face

>>281626282
yeah I figured, I think he's literally samefagging his waifu war and even then it's floundering badly

>>281626256

>Kabuto genuinely getting startled by BASE Sasuke’s chakra
Kabutokeks…

>>281626321
He attempted to become a terrorist and commit a bunch of crimes against the state, failed every single time and never actually caused long term damage to anything.

>>281625634
No. Some people suck. Hinata is one of them. Hiashi is a genius

>>281625812
But anon, consider the other, she had a catfight with her best friend over a shared crush, she clearly understands her place as a woman far better.

>>281626295
this is wonderful foreshadowing ackshully

>>281625877
He lost against Minato when he tried, and now he's under the protection of Hiruzen, the strongest hokage ever, who knows all of Konoha jutsu.

>>281626222
Beat both Edo Tensei 3rd and 4th, knew over a thousand jutstu, trained the three Sannin, floor tile master, etc.

>>281626339
???
his waifu is hanabi because he's a pedophile

>>281625729
Yes, Minato is a nightmare but he has to mark you. Tobi is basically DEATH without needing any input from you. And you'll die of starvation

>>281626371
Your opinion is irrelevant.

Reminder that Minato lost against a 14 years old teen

>>281626424
He likes endless Hinata vs. Sakura shitflinging because it's part of his retarded quirk chungus personas

>>281626369
>failed every single time and never actually caused long term damage to anything.
Danzo…?

>>281626378
I was trying to make a joke and imply that the answer should be "Sakura"

>Hinata hater is seething so much he's resorting to posting NTR shit
lol

kneel bitches

>>281625946
It's incredibly retarded and OOC. Sai can only be Sai because of his childhood, relationship with his brother and it would be a completely different dynamic with a K11. It's fine to want K11 but replacing Sai in this context is fucking retarded

Eh too lazy to torrent. Did use nyaa for Gintama though, those old fansubs are too peak to watch official.

Pinkshitter is just spamming the thread because he's asshurt about people liking Hinata AGAIN. It's almost nostalgic after sasukefag dominated the shitposter market for so long.

>>281622176
“Hey Itachi you wanna do anything about your brother going over to Orochimaru to inevitably get his body stolen? HMMMMMMMMMMMM?”

He should have been killed by an Uchiha.

Remember that in the chunin exam the hard worker was crushed by talent, the winner is characterized as someone who doesn't work hard and in all of part one someone without an innate advantage never defeated someone with one

>>281626717
Meanwhile, in reality.

>>281626695
Should have been that way. But Kishi wanted to milk it with Boruto so we got two stupid ships that weren't built up at all throughout the manga.

Anything after chapter 699 is fanfiction.

>>281626737
to be honest it sounds like you're upset that the multiple drawcuck attempts (among other identities) all failed, sasukerajesh

I'm so happy Kishimoto eternally mindbroke retards like you who are still seething about the (canon) ending of this manga years after its conclusion.
Keep being angry.

Sakura x Sasuke was a terrible fucking decision. But I also like Naruhina. Is there another option for Sakura?

The Sage of the Six Paths said that

>>281626371
Hiashi was never stated or implied to be a prodigy.

>>281626843
best endgame for Sasuke would be taking over the Sound village and using it to shelter refugees thrown overboard by the Shinobi system

>>281626850
Your ability to understand basic logic is on full display, pinkshitter.

>>281626784
Proud Failure is great, but so little moments like this compared to Naruto and Sakura.

>>281626843
Sasuke doesn’t have another option either
>but Karin
Is an obvious joke character and never seriously had a chance

>>281626751
He was, don't trust what the news tell you, Deep Leaf has a lot to hide

>>281626843
Yes.
Sai x Sakura
Choji x Ino

>>281626903
I don't care about quantity when the quality discrepancy is as vast as it is here.

>>281626843
Lee would've been a perfect choice for Sakura.
>saved her ass before
>both care about and respect each other
>Lee is less retarded than Naruto and not a psychopath like Sasuke

>>281626843
Lee would be my guess.

>>281626599
...is what Lee was thinking.

>>281626855
>>281626928
>>281626930
And what about my babygirl Tenten? Neji if alive?

>Already hit bump limit
Is this the power of schizoposting?

>>281626964
more like retardation

>>281626903
Naruto and Sasuke didn't really have that many good moments together either, and they're also overshadowed by Sakura acting like a cunt to him.

>>281626717
...was forgotten since this very chapter.

Unironically:
Naruto and Sakura
Sasuke alone (or with Karin)
Hinata focuses more on fixing her clan
Rest is fine but Neji lives and stays by Hinata's side or Tenten

>>281626959
Kishimoto indirectly stated that Lee and Tenten aren't a thing.

>>281626783
Hinata became a chunin at an earlier age than Hanabi did.

Can somebody PLEASE turn that curry music down?

>>281626983
>Naruto and Sakura*
My bad

>>281627002
Make it SasuHina for the funnies.

>>281627038
>PLEASE
not helping

>>281626964
Powerscaling, schizposting, the proto-Akatsuki, and Kishi's inability to world build.

>>281624384
>effortlessly nuked all of Konoha.
Nuking Konoha was not effortless for him.

>>281626852
Kabuto didn't win, he survived. But yes forgot about that "fight"
>>281626872
I'm saying that the sage isn't even a ninja while as black zetsu states he is ninja's history so the divine presence personified would be black zetsu

>>281622288
He lost his buddy in what must have been a frankly disgustingly busted poison and trickery duo.
>Puppets and snakes everywhere
>Every hit is poisoned
>Puppets delivering poisoned snakes
>You hit a puppet and break it
>It was full of snake
>They keep pulling a "Eh, it's not even my real body" bullshit everytime you hit them
>Also good luck; I'm behind my army of puppets/zombies

>>281627060
>Kishi's inability to world build.
lol
lmao

i bet you like bleach

>>281626901
Sakura is also trash dont worry

>>281627084
?

growing up is realizing that none of the big 3 actually have even decent worldbuilding
interesting concepts, but settings that completely fall apart in a multitude of ways

>>281627014
Hinata also became a chunin earlier than Naruto. Both Naruto and Hanabi would stomp Hinata, though. In base too

>>281626784
You reposting that same picture of one of the very few interactions between them doesn't mean shit lol. Just remembered, she confessed and nearly died from Pain and he didn't even visit her afterwards. Very established.

>>281625051
I always saw it more as Shino just wanting to feel included. He’s not exactly a fightfag, he just wants to be able to help out his friends.

>>281627115
Hanabi wasn't away from the village or ignoring the exams to save a friend, Sasukefag wannabe.

>>281627111
In some ways this is fine because interesting ideas and concepts is what matters the most for these series. But honestly these are less consistent than even Dragon Ball.

>>281627162
Doesn't matter, rank is meaningless. Genin Naruto beat up a chunin in chapter 1. Hinata and Sakura are both shit tier

>>281627111
Naruto’s setting is unironically great, mostly consistent, good aesthetics
One Piece feels like a themepark and Bleach’s world is sort of empty

>>281627138
That moment is more than narusaku ever had. Again, it's been 10 years. Accept it and move on.

>>281626923
One singular moment where they have a friendly conversation after which Naruto completely forgets about Hinata again. How is that quality? You're coping so fucking much with this it's hilarious.

>>281621515
>w-what
>a genin chakra a-aaaIIEEE

>>281627189
Rank is apparently meaningful when it comes to prop up Hanabi becoming a jonin though.

>>281627068
I struggle to not call it a victory where one got back on his feet to help his boss in a minute while the other received lethal injuries without immediate medical attention
>>281627111
Dragon Ball's true strength was not taking itself too seriously and not trying to overreach, it had fights and gags, with Z cutting back on the gags and making some worse fights.

>>281627232
>Naruto completely forgets about Hinata again
Headcanon.
>You're coping so fucking much with this it's hilarious.
Canon isn't cope. Seethe.

>>281621651
>>281621625
CUTEba!

Should I read this? My Soremachi daily just ended and I have only been browsing /g/ to fill the gap to no avail. I've only watched the anime up until this point like 11 years ago at least and stopped when Jiraiya was fighting Pain.

>>281627205
>One Piece feels like a themepark
That's because it literally is
>Desert Island
>Jungle Island
>Prison Island
>Glowie Island
>Moving Waterpark Island
>Fire and Ice Island
>Japan Island
>Medieval Europe Island
>Fishman Underwater Island

Don't let this distract you from the Konoha girls getting soloed by Jirobo's mud clone

New bread baked.

>>281627232
>I need Kishimoto to tell me something is of quality by having the characters remember it on multiple occasions and talk about it 24/7
Peak NPC opinion.

>>281627285
When there isn't this much schizoposting these threada are relatively nice, but you almost certainly will be spoiled.

>>281622265
Thanks as always, OP.

>>281627293
I love you Konoha girls poster.

>>281626507
Imagine...

>>281627293
The funny thing about the Konoha girls joke during the SRA is that it really exposed how astrotured this waifuwar shit is - isn't it "interesting" how these (supposedly multiple) people will try their damndest to derail threads 24/7 for the sake of their favored fuckmeat, but an entire arc spent crapping all over them elicits zero defensive response?

>>281627207
Completely false. And don't care. Shitty storytelling should be discussed.

>>281627265
He doesn't mention her, he doesn't think about her, he doesn't visit her, he doesn't hang out with her. She nearly died for him and he didn't even visit her afterwards. Your imaginary connection between them is cope. He never cared about her as anything more than a friend and they were only paired up so Kishi could milk it more with Boruto.

I get you like the ship and that's totally fine but acting like it's been somehow well developed and thought out when it was the most ass thing ever makes you look retarded.

>Hinata appearing for like 4 pages in a chapter caused the seething retard to spam the thread till bump limit
Imagine how mindbroken he'll be during the Pain fight

>>281626338
Everyone talks about how ridiculous Kamui is sure but without that what attack options does Obito really have? Especially since this is the Obito that fought Minato we are talking about. As far as attacks go all he seems to have to his name is basic ass fire style and weapon spam.

>>281627432
none
obito is a one-trick pony

>>281627407
>>281627327

>>281627327
What the fuck are you even talking about?

>>281627413
That was a good fight. Even funnier when Hinata nearly died and Naruto didn't even visit her afterwards. Completely forgetting about the person who took a bullet for you means you like them, right?

>>281627407
>The character feels this way because... he just does, ok?
What I would give to have your level of mental cognition and be able to ignore facts. Your ship lost.

>>281627111
99% of Bleach worldbuilding lies in Buddhism symbolism and parallels.
Kubo explains nothing because it's understood that you already know how a Buddhist worldview of the afterlife works and can recognize its themes in characters and setting

>>281627464
That's not even how a Buddhist afterlife fucking works, you moron.

>>281627454
Thanks for proving my point

>>281627413
That's the problem, like Itachi having just random genjutsu and basic technique without his mangekyo, Kishimoto tends to write characters too much around gimmicks.

>>281626599
>Ino, in the anime: You know I might just fall for him~
Naruto was pulling in all the bitches post Pain.

>>281627455
Fact? Like the fact that Naruto hasn't shown a single shred of romantic emotion towards Hinata in the entire fucking manga? What I wouldn't give to be able to see a literal piece of dog shit and consider it gold.

>>281627383
there's at least one anon here who gets titanically butthurt over powerscaling but fuck it, I'll say it loud and clear - shipfags/waifufags are exponentially worse than powerscalers in every single fanbase, straight up, and nobody can actually prove why I'm wrong

>>281626614
Can I see your unicorn anon?

>>281625643
>inane scanlations

Damn that's nostalgic

>>281627504
>there's at least one anon here who gets titanically butthurt over powerscaling
have you tried not being retarded?
> shipfags/waifufags are exponentially worse than powerscalers in every single fanbase, straight up, and nobody can actually prove why I'm wrong
finally some sense
you're still retarded

>>281626717
What the fuck is a “base” Hyuga you retard? A base Hyuga is just a normal Hyuga unless they somehow unlocked the Tenseigan. Not that Hanabi’s weak ass would ever unlock it.

>>281627504
It's debatable, but yeah you're probably right. I don't think powerscalers burned their entire manga collection over a character they like losing a battle.

>>281627454
>What the fuck are you even talking about?
You think that scene can only be of quality if Kishimoto derailed the story just to have them interact multiple times right after it instead of judging it for what it is.

>>281627504
It makes sense because shippers basically try to powerscale... character interactions, and that sentence alone should impress upon you how fucking insane that behavior is.

>>281627587
>Naruto failing at flirting with Sakura > Naruto holding Hinata's hand

>>281627545
He's trying to say Hanabi doesn't need the byakugan or gentle fist to beat Hinata.

>>281626983
>>281627048
I mean you still have a point if you applied it to Naruto and Sasuke Kek.

>>281627587
>>281627598
>this is what sakurafags unironically believe

>>281627111
Why do people constantly fellate One Piece’s world building then? Geniune question, I’m only just past Marineford.

>>281627658
Because people make up any excuse under the sun for One Piece and use its rampant popularity in Japan as an excuse. It's basically the new DBZ, complete with a retarded god trasnsformation that makes no sense

>>281627579
No I think that one scene doesn't mean shit. A ship is a part of the story, nothing would be derailed. And judging it for what is? Well in that case they should have been just friends in the end because that's all she was to him in that scene.

>>281627260
Hinata just sucks man

>>281627731
>No I think that one scene doesn't mean shit.
It's the first time Naruto opened up his insecurities to someone.
>A ship is a part of the story, nothing would be derailed.
The main plot is Sasuke's turn around and redeeming him, the story was already having pacing issues after konoha crush, you want that to take a backseat for Naruto to date Hinata?

>>281627383
We had some actual discussions as well. Not just about the quality of our "fuckmeat" but the things that could've been changed about them, the roles they could've fulfilled in that arc. No one would take an issue with "konoha girls" anon obvious shitposting.

>>281627557
JJK?

>>281627765
And yet she's stronger than Hanabi.

>>281627614
>trying
Succeeding

>>281627846
.... in my fanfiction.

>>281627862
Yeah, you succeeded in saying that.

>>281627910
It's been proven

>>281626695
Earned with what, Sakura acting like a cunt and only treating Naruto gently in the privacy of her thoughts?
>>281626763
What obviously should have been is Kishimoto committing to NaruHina and not teasing dead ship like NaruSaku, my dear Sakurakek.

>>281627798
Lmao and? Are you saying that opening up about your insecurities means you're somehow in love with that person or something? Literally who gives a shit? It still has ZERO romantic connotations from the guy. You're literally making up some bigger feelings from a simple interaction between two friends.

And just because that's the main story it doesn't mean you can't have a few pages in a single chapter showing an interaction between two characters which could imply something romantic in the future. You're just being retardedly sarcastic. Kishi could have done even a single page after Pain fight where Naruto interacts with Hinata and give them a meaningful moment but nah. Again, you can like this ship as much as you want but acting like it's development wasn't utter dogshit just makes you look retarded.

>>281627262
He did? I remembered it more like "hahaha I have healing ju-OW FUCK nevermind"

Another decisive loss for Sasukepoopjeet, you love to see it

>>281627499
NaruHina was so fucking obvious of an endgame, it didn't require any finer set-up. That was it's weakness.

>>281628020
Based on what?
>>281628049
A ship can be good without being inherently romantic, i dunno why you fail to see this.

>>281628025
>teasing
Yes. Fucking exactly. That's my biggest problem with this shit. He was teasing narusaku even in the fucking war near the end while Hinata was getting zero interactions or interest from Naruto. Yeah I like narusaku more but I would have zero issues with naruhina if it was developed properly and not seem like a last minute decision he did just to milk the series with Boruto.

>>281628049
>You're just being retardedly sarcastic. Kishi could have done even a single page after Pain fight where Naruto interacts with Hinata and give them a meaningful moment
You would dismiss it as well. Don't you fucking try and pretend that you wouldn't.

Can somebody explain to me why Naruto not being romantically into Hinata before the ending invalidates their moments but Sakura not being into Naruto like that either doesn't invalidate their moments?
>Inb4 i can't self-insert into the girl side character

>>281628128
>Milk Boruto
As if Boruto would only exist by him marrying Hinata.

>>281628094
Just because it might have been obvious doesn't mean it wasn't a dogshit progression of it. Ending up together just because, without any real build up is what makes it shit.

>>281628113
Ah yes, a romantic relationship can be good without being romantic. Lol. Do you read the stupid shit you write?

And a ship CAN'T be good if it wasn't developed properly (or at all) which is the case with naruhina.

>>281628172
Anon, it's waifufagism

>>281628057
It went like that, but two chapter later he got back up after helping Oro to summon Manda, probably he was somewhat weakened, as he stopped fighting directly, but was still conscious and capable of helping

>>281628128
>Yeah I like narusaku more
Why? Literally, why?
>>281628128
See >>281628094 It was foregone conclusion after they held hands, Kishi just did the "she's my girlfriend" thing for funsies.
>while Hinata was getting zero interactions or interest from Naruto
Naruto felt Hinata calling out to him when Infinite Tsukuyomi started and had to be held back by Sasuke.

>>281628135
And how the fuck do you know that huh? If it happened, I literally wouldn't be able to say anything against it because it was done properly. And regardless, my point stands, whatever your fantasy about what I would or wouldn't do.

>>281628193
Who else? Kishi wanted Naruto's kid and Sasuke's kid to bang and the only options he had to get those kids was by shipping how he did. It was the easiest choice.

>>281628206
>Ah yes, a romantic relationship can be good without being romantic.
Yes, we can judge it on foundation which usually starts as a friendship, they ARE fictional characters after all.

No battle shounen has good romance, unless it's called Fullmetal Alchemist (then it's passable)
Nardo has hack writing in general so its ships are abysmal.

>>281628323
Boruto would've been born and created even if Naruto fucked Ayane.

>>281628302
I guess I just like Sakura more than Hinata. And I think narusaku had a much stronger foundation for a romance than naruhina ever did.

>>281628206
>Ending up together just because, without any real build up
Have you fucking missed all the moments of Naruto finally realising that Hinata was always there for him? Just because The Last retconned him into a dumbass who doesn't understand what love is doesn't invalidate them.

>>281621788
Ino and Choji should've ended together

>>281628368
I wouldn't even call FMA's romance good, it's basically:
>"Here's the childhood friend/most prominent female friend the character has, now roll with it."
It's the bare minimum that is elevated by never commiting any flaws.

>>281628368
>No battle shounen has good romance
Undead Unluck

>>281628348
But if it never goes any further than friendship, how is it a good ship? If a character doesn't show a single bit of romantic interest towards the character he ends up with ( and their friendly interactions are minimal) how is it a good ship?

I will always appreciate Toriyama not humoring shipfaggotry and doing troll ships with no buildup

>>281628449
Lmao what moments are those? And how was she there for him? Squealing 'ganbare naruto' while hiding around the corner?

>>281628517
It's not too farfetched to imagine that Naruto would eventually love Hinata after the war, he already gives he special treatment in comparison to anyone BUT team 7 anyway.
Does it suck that said development wasn't shown? Of course, but it doesn't completely ruin their ship.

>>281628368
>Nardo has hack writing in general so its ships are abysmal
Kishi does his big moments and then forgets to follow up on them in any way. This >>281626599 shit however was just trolling.
>Lmao i've just humiliated your waifu by throwing her into an obviously unwinnable scenario and now the cunt who berates and punches the main hero for no reason is ginna get a big emotional moment with him while the one who actually risked her life watches

>>281628571
Naruto literally thanks her for saving his life, twice.

>>281628572
Sure, maybe he would. But the ship is built on what the writer shows. If he doesn't show anything and makes it just because a 'maybe' exists, it's a stupid ship. Seriously, a few pages in a couple of chapters and there would really be nothing to complain about.

>>281628571
Ask the man himself. Also he thanked her in war arc for saving him during the Pain arc so he didn't forget, despite all that you've said.

>>281628471
Like I said, it's passable. It doesn't waste people's time with gay shipbaits for 900 chapters, it's consistent, makes sense, and the main couple gets together on-panel. All the canon and implied couples have good chemistry.
>It's the bare minimum
And yet so much better than average.

>>281628595
Lmao when?

So, even Sakurafags admit Kishi should've done more with Hinata's character. Neat.

>>281628691
Ah yes, very impactful thank you when it's an afterthought months later and not right after she nearly died for him. And this doesn't really mean shit either considering he was still crushing on Sakura in that same arc.

>>281628706
It's right after he saves her from 3 zetsus, give me a minute.

>>281623312
This looks a lot better than color

>>281628574
It was pretty jarring to see in the anime after the beautiful 166th episode. Hinata snapping back into manga characterisation was always painful after (some) fillers did such a good job with her.

>>281628800
So months later instead of right away? And you think that somehow makes it special or meaningful?

>>281628758
>Ah yes, very impactful thank you when it's an afterthought months later and not right after she nearly died for him
Good job ignoring the picture and the first half of my post, you fucking cunt.
>And this doesn't really mean shit either considering he was still crushing on Sakura in that same arc.
NIGGA WHEN!?

>>281628706
>>281628758
>>281628882
And gradually i've began to hate them...

>>281628883
Ah yes, thanking a friend for being there for him. So intense! And again, considering it's been months later, it means jack shit when he could have done it the very next day.

When his dad and other kages showed up, Naruto was making it pretty obvious.
