Essential Naruto.... you know y'all read this! (Book Spoilers like a Muhhfukka)

[Un-AmericanDreamer]

sakura been useless since the sasori fight..and that was like literally 7 years ago..sigh i'd say 9/10 of all the genins that were introduced in pre shinpuden naruto are bench warmers who have nothing to contribute

Lee is a mini-gai so he's fine, Choji and Shika have shown potential or are all ready impressive, the rest are If Neji wouldn't have gotten tossed in the bushes, he would have turned out ok too. Especially if he received a kyuubi powerup, golden byakugan

 

[Mic-Nificent]

Nobody is more worthless than TenTen....

They've done jack shyt with that character.....

nah shika pretty holmes status right now..even though he;'s "commanding ninja units" i haven't seen that nikka tatically merk someone since his battle with hidan. besides team kakashi being the best to come out of that generation..team shika , ino and choji have probably been the most useful but only for support reasons.. .and yeah i defly agree with neji..that was def lazy writing on kishi's part..like neji was built up to be some class-S genius with soo much potential and gets impaled by some sticks??

TEN TEN she was even useless pre-shinpudden era...she has absolutely zero redeeming values..def the yamcha of the naruto series..hinata and dog dude are useless too but hinata finna carry naruto's seed so she's good in my books..and what happened too bug dude?? nikka was like the most underrated , deadly, low key ninja if you underestimated him...

 

[throughthefire]

Probably still reading it.



Good chance I'll hit 40 by the time that one is over. That said I'd think Naruto will end in the next year or two.

yeah i really can't see naruto getting past two years..unless you know..kishi pulls something out of his ass.. i wouldn't mind though but i def can see one piece continuing for another decade...soo much lore in that world..and hunter x hunter..if the mangaka stops getting sick it will def be my go to shounen manga

Shika has never been much of a fighter anyway, his strength has always been strategy, his jutsu is an added benefit. I would say that he's like batman or someone whose powerset is generally weak but skilled. His shadow jutsu is insanely underrated and one of the more useful kekkai genkai in the series. That alone puts him into jounin category.

i know...can you imagine the OGs who started reading onepiece back in the day like in 1997??

That's wild...I didn't discover Naruto/Bleach until 2008 and didn't read OP until 2009. That's amazing for a mangaka to have that kind of success and longevity though.

stayed true to the anime up until 2 months ago then read basically 1.5 years worth of Manga cuz I couldn't take another filler episode...so glad I did

Back in Part 1 of the Naruto manga, I'm not sure what chapter, but during one of the volume inserts Kishimoto spoke about how after Naruto is finished, he would make a yakuza/japanese mafia manga:

If you've read the entire manga from the beginning online, you might have seen this picture. In an interview, he spoke about trying to get this serialized first but it got rejected due to violence, and was told by an editor it's the kind of manga he should do when he gets older. So he went on to create Naruto, and the rest is history.

Well Kishi's older now, and Naruto is about to finish:

Mario 1 - Read Mario 1 Online - Page 1

The story's called 'Mario'. It's a One Shot.

It's not a kekkai genkai rather a hidden justu
