:what: Man I take a few months off hoping to quell my disgust with the story and come back to find this garbage. This sh!t has somehow managed to get even worse I hope Kishi dies a slow agonizing death for having me waste a damn decade plus following this utter piece of trash .

The story really took a turn for the worst after all this edo tensei bulllshyt...it feels as though naruto isnt even the real focus of the story anymore and kishi is pulling all these bullshyt powerups for naruto just to keep people interested in the character....The pain arc was really when the overall story was at its highest point and it feels as though it has been on the decline ever since...

bigger doesnt necessarily mean better

they could have done more with the edo tensei guys. Some of the baddest bad guys, raikages, and scoundrels in history getting dispatched in 1-2 chapters :damn:

:beli: Why are you guys always coppin pleas for this series. Its incredibly easy to juggle upwards of 10 characters. Do it in groups (focus on 3 or 4 at a time) until you sub a person in. The replaced character could either be killed off or sent off to complete some task (opens up a spin off). Buffy did this almost perfectly as do most long running tv shows.

Kishi has had numerous times to get his shyt together but he cant decide whether to focus on the adults, the Uchiha or the new generation. Choji, and Neji should've been killed off in part 1. Lee :sadbron: would be reduced "those who can't, teach" status because his most important role in part 2 was beating himself up. Since Shino/Kiba/Tenten has done jack shyt s/he should have been thrown in Special ops until they emerge in Part 2 swagged out. The rest of the teams should have merged. In part 2 thats when you start killing folks off or crippling them.

With the important being:
- Jiraiya teaching Naruto more than 1 technique in their entire time together
- Naruto doing something other than chasing Sasuke around the world for 2 years (our time).
- Creating actual villains/ not getting rid of them in the most shameless ways (Hidan, Kakuzu and Deidara)
the teams and teachers. its too many characters to juggle and keep interesting. once you get to a point of 10 or so main characters that's just too many and you need to nail down a focus. even in One Piece i don't really care for Brook, Franky, and Tony Tony Chopper as much as Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, Robin, Ussop and Nami. as far as i'm concerned they could have Ussop, Nami, or Robin have the healing doctor thing and drop the three i mentioned.

in all honesty i forgot Tenten existed till you mentioned her. another worthless character that the elements that were worthwhile could have been condensed into someone else.

So Sakura... were you planning to store your chakra for three years, or did it never occur to you that maybe, just maybe you might need to use it in one of your earlier fights? It seems like an after-thought, the idea that Sakura suddenly has all this chakra prepared.

It was a pretty cool fight right there, pretty much to be expected but beautiful to see regardless. I'm hoping we'll see the other members of the Rookie Nine kicking some butt next chapter. I get the feeling we might see more deaths pretty soon, though.

Nobody read the new chapter 632?

Madara didn't want to fight a fake, but the real thing. Madara realize his mistake from their last battle.

Having Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura there. Remind me of Jiraya, Orochimaru, Tsunade.

There are villains i wished woulda stuck around. I was happy Kisame stayed as long as he did but Akatsuki was supposed to be a collection of the baddest cats on the planet and some of these dudes just walked around and did nothing. Konan, Pain and Kisame were the only ones worth anything besides Madara....

The problem is in part 1 we got attached to these kids only to see them grow into jabronis. I personally think Ino, Kiba, Shino and them shoulda been killed off or something. They are virtually worthless...and lets not talk about how wrong Neji and the Hyuuga clan in general got did wrong.

:usure:

Itachi? Deidara? Obito?


I'd say most Akatsuki members were decent. My main issue was that the whole Uchiha Clan plotline ended up pretty much engulfing the manga and overshadowing everything else.

Itachi = Not a villian
Deidara = under used and explosive clay :rudy:
Obito = halfway decent.

Does anyone have a feeling that this Naruto and Sasuke thing gonna be a parallel to Hashi and Madara when Madara came back to the village. I think some details about the Kyuubi attack and Uchiha involvement gonna leak out then Sasuke is going to go full emo like Madara or some shyt.

:what2:

She couldn't use it in the earlier fights because she was storing it.
