Revealing to us that Obito convinced those two to join forces would not make them be the ones who were "behind everything".

Lame chapter, this flashback only lowers Obito in my eyes, it'll be fulfilling to see him die like a chump.

I wouldn't consider Naruto a utilitarian either. If he had to kill one innocent person to save a million, he probably wouldn't do it.

I miss all the other students.

so anyone else here looking forward to Kakashi possibly beating Obito now? all the flashback did was kind make Obito look kind lame.

I'm looking forward to seeing Kakashi have a stroke and collapse due to chakra exhaustion, since that's what should have happened by now.

Yeah, it sucks that a few of us have actually graduated. 😉

Bring Neji and Lee and Kiba and Shino back for real fights and stuff

Neji and Lee will get character development when Guy eventually dies by opening the 8 Gates...well Lee will anyway.

Lol at Kiba and Shino though. Kishi loathes team 8.

Maybe because they're all irrelevent chucklefvcks? Like most of the Konoha teams?

They have zero place in the actual story.

Well no. Kishi adores Team 10 and let Rock Lee, and by extension the whole of Team Guy, get his own little spinoff. The most developed member of Team 8 is Kiba lol (well actually Hinata if you're a pervert).

That said I honestly don't mind that the teams don't get to do much.

Key word is spinoff. Lee and Neji haven't appeared in the main comic in years. The other konoha teams never had much plot relevance anyway.

People who actually matter at this point:

Naruto
Madara
Kakashi
Obito
Gai (?)
Bee (?)
Chiyo
Sasuke
Orochimaru
The Kages (?)

Also Kiba isn't developed at all. Sure he got 2 whole fights but he wasn't developed as a character much at all. Hinata got much more focus, character introspection and relevance in the plot.

If they have no real relevance to the main comic(and they don't) then let them star in a spinoff. He clearly doesn't hate them. And of course they haven't. This isn't that type of story.

Pretty much. But there is nothing wrong with that, so long as it's consistent. I mean the villains come and go but at the heart of the story is Naruto and his relationship with Sasuke. That has really been the constant throughout the manga.

I would disagree.

Thats because you like Kiba for some inexplicable reason.

Kiba's development: My dog got bigger and now I ride around on him like he's mother****ing Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Whereas Hinata hasn't really developed at all. The only time she does noteworthy things is when she gets the ever loving shit kicked out of her.

Whereas Kiba... got his ass kicked by Naruto and Sakon/Ukon and done nothing else of note, amiright?

Hinata has actual motivations, a fleshed-out personality, conflicts and backstory. Kiba is just that dog guy.

Hinata was the only one to try and save Naruto and admitted her feelings towards him. Thats more character development than Kiba has.

if you dont know anithing about naruto, il recomend you start looking for some info. about it, its realy cool.

Really seeming bothered by interest in the minor characters.

Deuteragonists are the shit. Chunin Exams and the Sasuke Retrieval Arc are the most fun to watch.
