Errr, Shikamaru's a little different, yes Asuma was killed infront of him, but it wasn't by like Choji or someone of equal value of kakashi to Obito. And his dad was a casualty of war, which while still bad, is also different.
Gaara was already born unstable, and before talk no jutsu from Naruto, he was pretty messed up lol. "I exist to kill all other human beings." was his mantra if I remember correctly.
Sasuke wasn't mr. sunshine before either, he left his newly acquired family and attempted to murder his best friend because of that.
Neji was pretty messed up too. He just didn't have the ability to take his revenge out properly. He would have killed his cousin if it weren't for the jonin interference though.

nobody is saying that, but kishi pretty much told us why he reacted the way he did with that exchange, then you add just how nice of a child he was on top of that.....moon's eye plan isn't even his idea - it's madara's, he's just rolling with it
They pretty much state that there is a plot point that makes Uchina poor villains and poor characters 👆
A lot of revelations this chapter in regards to Sage of the Six Paths and his family, Naruto's 'destiny' and all that.
And she's now confirmed to be the strongest thing in Narutoverse. Even stronger than the Sage, Juubi, and
Spoiler:
Sage of the Six path's brother.
I've liked these last two chapters tbh. Some of the few I'd consider to be good in months.
^ The pic itself is spoiler enough dude...and we kind of already knew that.
With that said this chapter gets an F for flashback
Spoiler:
Because screw Gai's blaze of glory and someone legitimately hurting Madara other than Hashirama and Biju, nope Kishi just has to give us a flashback. To think didn't we just have one two chapters ago? Anyway Naruto's retardness returns and Rikkudo tells us the tragic story of how he had to spend his life outshining his brother(who came out of nowhere) and having to save the world because his mom screwed up everything: though I'm curious as to why she took the fruit in the first place. The answer could possibly give us our first truly evil powerhouse since...well Orochimaru. With that said the chapter was very informative of things I was kind of curious about along with confirming a few other fan theories but man was this flashback oddly placed
I'm still pretty surprised that he made a female the most powerful character of his manga. Kishimoto's known for side-lining the females and making them useless/weak af. Kurenai would probably be the best example of that. Lol

I was under the impression that they were equal in terms of power, but he had more skill because he actually developed said powers into different jutsu and whatnot.
So, Naruto's Ashura, and Sasuke's Indra, and they'll have to fight and reconcile to end this whole centuries long war.
This chapter was actually quite good. Only thing that stops it from being really good is the fact that Kishi used it to delay the conclusion to a fight that was awesome.
And Hagoromo is a bawss.
Spoiler:
So the Bijuu are really just half of the Ten Tails/Shinju?
Nah, Indra will obviously turn out to be Tenten. The real antagonist of the series!
So Naruto has: Massive chakra reserves and heightened vitality from his Ukumaki heritage, the 9-tails giving him even MORE chakra and vitality, he's the son of the 4th Hokage, he's literally the chosen one spoke of in prophecy and he's the reincarnation of ninja Jesus.
Naruto: A true underdog story.
Originally posted by Astnerkishi had no other choice but to give the most powerful enemy in the manga who was up till this very point insurmountable in power an equal by just saying there is another equal power as his out there. the sage was THAT DUDE for hundreds of chapters, but now we not only know his mom was clearly his superior but he himself has a peer... enter: naru/sasu fusion dance
Why does everyone has to have a brother?
kishi had no choice as some alleged interviews stated he didn't know what to do with the madara problem.
Who here didnt know that naruto was some kind of reincarnation..... Its been foreshadowed so many times throughout the series. His chakra cloak being the most noticeable.
I also think its ironic how kishi is highlighting hard work all of a sudden when naruto has profited from having one of the best genetic lineages in the series.
