of course Naruto is gonna feel bad. but me being the reader don't give a shyt cuz he ain't been relevant in 7 years
So because he wasn't a main character and didn't have panels dedicated to him, he's a non factor? To you the reader he's not but to the Naruto he's a dear friend.
I wouldnt even go that far.
Jiraiya was a dear friend
Hinata is a dear friend
Sakura is a dear friend
Kakashi is a dear friend
...shyt...even Lee is probably a dear friend
Neji is just some nikka Ruto lumped up way back during the exams :owerd:
He was one of his peers that had respect and admiration for him.
that's not a friend, that's a colleague.
Kage's are probably coming back next issue since Naruto doesn't know what the fukk he's doing and Kurama still napping.Question...now that HQ is blown up, Shikaku is dead, and the Kages are out of the picture...who's leading the alliance? I'd think somebody has to be in command.
Shikamaru? He's probably the smartest, and probably comprehends whatever plan his dad left the best.
Naruto? He's easily the strongest ninja there, and pretty brilliant in a fight. Plus he wants to be Hokage, so this would be an opportunity to show his leadership skills.
Kakashi? He's a division leader, plus probably the best all around shinobi (brains, power, and experience, plus can counter Obito).
Somebody else?
Kage's are probably coming back next issue since Naruto doesn't know what the fukk he's doing and Kurama still napping.
This dude saw about 100,000 wooden stakes headed at his friends/allies and thought "It's cool, I have three clones and some Rasen-shurikens to handle this.
