The Official Naruto series Thread

You act like this is the first time Naruto has been shown love by Kishi. It's not...like at all.

Naruto damages Obito->Saves the entire army->Can now use Sage Mode with his Kyuubi mode(which really doesn't change his Kyuubi mode all that much except for making it anti-Obito). By having Naruto show how great he is back to back it comes across as a little...well boring in the same way Madara just constantly stomping the Kage got a bit boring. At least there we cut away from the fight.

I want the rest of the army to do something that justifies why they're still here. Now they're powered by Naruto's chakra again so he should work with them to create an opening on Obito.

Oh and I love how the Bijuu are just forever cursed with being the straight man.

Advancing the plot and even some cool fighting scènes would've been great.

Wow...I talk shit about Minato not doing anything with KCM and Minato goes and does something with it. Well done Kishi. Also there's Hashirama's Sage Mode 😄

I think what I should do is pass all of my ideas of how I think Naruto should work, to you, that way Kishimoto does not think it came from me.

He clearly listens to you and clearly does the opposite of anything I suggest.

Kishimoto, I am on to you. You failed, this time. MWHAHAHAHAA!

Sasuke's jealously is delicious.

Sasuke certainly got "mad bro" at how much chakra Naruto can handle with ease and precision. I think butthurt is an apt label. Though I think it was a combination of jealously and admiration. I think Sasuke knows that he cannot compete with Naruto, by this point.

This is how I viewed Hashirama's and Madara's relationship until Madara decided to split: Madara knew that he could not defeat Hashirama in a 1v1. It wasn't until Hashirama got his EMS and "mastered" it that he thought he could compete with Hashirama. Even then, he was defeated.

So, this, for me, is the forewshadowing of what is happening with Naruto and Sasuke except Naruto is much further ahead than Sasuke making their situation have an even larger power gap. So, Sasuke should keep in check the same way Madara kept in check.

Unless Sasuke gets some Hasirama cells and gets himself a Rinnegan?

I'm anticipating Sasuke pulling a betrayal and ganking someones power somehow. Theres been hints that he's up to something sinister, but he's too weak to be a credible threat atm. He's gonna get a crazy power-up at some point imo.

Corrected my post because it said "Hasirama got his EMS".

I think he plans to steal, in some way, the Moon's Eye plan/technique.

Sasuke feeling weak and jealous of Naruto is good. It is essential to his character.

But I don't want the others in the army to feel just as weak. They have Naruto's chakra. They need to do something.

Haha Tobirama calling out Naruto on his idiocy over and over again.

I know right? if the biju play the straight men, then Tobirama does so too. so far, he's shaping up to be by far the most interesting kage.

Good fvck Naruto. Goku wannabe. Keep calling him out Tobi. The Fox too. He's a cool guy.

That was basically a highlight for kakashi not Naruto. Kakashi warped him after all. The two other things you mention happened recently which is what I was saying in the first place. And I wasn't just talking about Naruto.

I don't find it boring at all. He's the title character and the culmination of all his training should be leading up to great things back to back. Besides, it hasn't been all Naruto. tobirama has gotten his fair share of screen time as has Minato.

The only justification for them to be there was to mentally support Naruto. They have actually been more of a hindrance imo. However, be patient, I'm sure Shikamaru is going to come up with something.

I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

He's probably noting how the Hachibi plays straight man in the jokes Bee plays.

Ahhh...I see. I guess I'm just not familiar with the phrase.

No hurting him with Sage Mode Rasengan before Obito used the flower.

He's had plenty of great things back to back. So have Minato and Tobirama really. Give the army a chance to shine now that they can and it makes perfect sense for them to do so.

If there is one character in the Alliance we could see less of and be content it would be Shikamaru. He's bar none the most involved in the entire plot out of all of them(excluding Sakura I suppose). But why aren't the Akimichi, who are now powered up by Naruto's chakra helping? Or the Hyuga? Or any of the other villages guys? They have the power to compete and they have the numbers advantage. Why don't they work as a team to create an opening instead of just assuming Naruto and the Edo Kage will do all the work? They've been doing it for the last 8 chapters. Tobirama and Minato also aren't being the most interesting guys to watch combat wise since they're mostly just teleporting around.

I actually had an idea about that.

If Kishimoto had a hyperactive mind like ours, he could pull off something like that.

What I imagined is a very fast paced, very high level, battle. Porting all over the place, powerful shadow clones, giants smashing in huge sage-chakra rasengan's into Obito, and back up plans upon back plans thought up by Shikimaru.

Why is this not happening? We have the chakra for it. We have the skill for it. We have the speed for it. We have enough playes for this stuff to happen. So why is this type of faced paced, heady combat not happening in this final fight? They (Madara and Obito) should stand no chance. Instead, each of them are like "duuuuuh, gee, George, what do you wanna do?"

In fact, Kishimoto, if you're reading my post (because I know you are, ****face), for once, actually do what I suggest. And you should allow enough planning on Obito's part to keep the fight going in a very fast-paced and complex way for at least 3 chapters. You can sprinkle in some explanations between sequences....but only for a page or two. No reason to take up an entire chapter doing so. My advice is free.

Well I get why it hasn't been happening: Obito would tear through these guys like butter. They're still human after all.

Now? They're in Naruto's cloaks again. The same one that withstood an Armageddon attack. Durability-check! Sure Obito kinda says screw you to ninjutsu and they'd only offer slightly more protection but everything else? The chakra hugely powers up speed, ninjutsu, and strength. They can compete so why aren't they?

My bad, didn't know which instance you were referring to. Still, that just goes with what I said about recently.

Again, recently. Which is what I was prasing Kishi for. He as shown love to members non Uchiha related, and not just Naruto, which is greatly welcomed imo. Well, except for Hiruzen getting trolled. lol

I get what you are saying about the alliance, but really, if they are just milking Naruto's/Kurama's chakra, are they really going to get credit for shining? The feats would still be attributed to Naruto's bailing them out/amping them so to speak. But I see your point about it making them relevant.

I disagree. Shikamaru makes sense to be a main focal point since he is the strategy guy, especially after his father's death. What would be nice is for him to actually come up with a decent plan to make the alliance relevant.

After reading this post though, I agree with your wanting to see some of the head clans make a contribution with their amped jutsus. They could create a diversion of sorts so that Naruto/Tobirama or Minato/Naruto can sneak in more sage attacks.

Personally, I like the way minato and Tobirama have contributed to the fight. Porting around is the only way to fight Obito, and they are just as crucial as Naruto is right now. We just saw in the last chapter how ineffective a full frontal assault is. Porting around has been the only effective way to hit Obito since his speed and power have raised.

OI! Let's hear it for my man, AuraAngel, and the best manga blog I have seen on the internet.

Seriously, if any of you are not following his work, I strongly suggest you do so.

http://littlesamson.tumblr.com/

It is also in his sig on KMC.

That blog needs thousands of followers.

Aura, I think you could increase you viewership if you read your blog posts, created a youtube video, and added scans to your videos as you narrated the stuff you write. If I had more time, I'd help. But, yes, you need to serialize your stuff into youtube videos. The written and video forms would compliment each other quite nicely.

Edit - No, he did not pay me to do this. I'm just genuinely impressed with the quality of what he does, there.
