Was Orochimaru's pupil who trained under him, received knowledge of his jutsus, had the serpent jutsu and the cursed seal, on top of that she was a tomboy...And did nothing in the serie, got captured in shippuden and become a chubby auntie in Boruto =_=;

Where and when did Itachi aquire the Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror Shield? Orochimaru said he spent decades looking for them. Did Itachi's Susanoo manifest them? Or did Itachi find them and simply incorporate them into his Susanoo.

W character development

Take off the Shonen plot armor goggles for two minutes and look at this from a pure military and leadership standpoint. Danzo and the elders were completely justified in wanting to keep Naruto at Mount Myoboku.

First, look at the information Tsunade actually had. She knew Pain had just killed Jiraiya, one of the greatest ninja Konoha ever produced. She had no confirmation that a 16-year-old Naruto had fully mastered Sage Mode, let alone reached a level capable of defeating someone who literally calls himself a God. Calling Naruto back was essentially handing the Akatsuki their primary objective on a silver platter while Konoha was in absolute chaos.

Second, the risk of losing the Nine-Tails was catastrophic. People forget how close the world actually came to ending in that fight. Naruto was literally one millimeter away from fully tearing off the seal. If Minato had not installed a fail-safe chakra ghost inside Naruto, something Tsunade had zero knowledge of, the full Nine-Tails breaks out right in the middle of a crippled village.

Think about how that scenario plays out:

1. Kurama kills Pain, but now an unstoppable, unsealed beast rampages across what is left of the Land of Fire, while Nagato is still alive somewhere in the shadows.

2. Pain manages to suppress or capture Kurama, completing the Akatsuki weapon project and sealing the fate of every ninja nation.

Either outcome means total annihilation. The only reason Konoha survived was a miraculous chain of unplannable events: an unannounced dead Hokage bail-out, Hinata triggering the transformation, and Nagato having a sudden change of heart to resurrect everyone he killed.

Tsunade gambled the entire existence of the Leaf Village and the entire shinobi world on blind faith in a teenage genin. From an in-universe strategic perspective, keeping your ultimate deterrent hidden away until you understand the enemy threat was the only sane call. Danzo and the elders were completely right.

>They debutted in the filler arc that started in episode 216 of OG Naruto, as two kunoichis that are major Gaara fangirls (Technically, Matsuri appeared in the manga in chapter 280, but she didn't even had a name and was only one scene).

>They got canonized and appeared in the Fourth Ninja War.

>They survived Madara's meteors.

>They survived Juubi's attack which also got Neji killed.

>And in the end, they survived the war.

Bro, they got better treatment than plenty of Naruto characters 😭

We all know Madara used Izanagi after Hashirama killed him and lost his right eye to that, but later he awakens the Rinnegan and gives two eyes to Nagato – Where did he suddenly get a second eye from? I don't remember if that was every explained.

Everyone keeps saying his eye just healed, but here he says he literally does not have a second eye anymore.

Just got this piece done by my artist during a Tattoo convention, super stoked with the result!

Should I go straight to reading Boruto and only watch some canon episodes or completely skip that shi and just wait for the new naruto manga thats coming out in a year or 2 ?

Is it worth watching/reading Boruto right now from the very start ? I don't wanna waste my time reading something that might get overshadowed by a new bigger project written from the original author.

Im hearing a lot of mixed opinions about this. Some say that its worth it and it's peak, some say Boruto isn't even canon and Kishimoto has nothing to do with it , and others say that they spent too much time investing on Boruto and reading it all these years that even if its ass, it's too late for them to quit and stop reading cause they want to see how it ends.

In what category do yall belong and what would you suggest me to do ?

A couple friends and I would spend says beating the shit out of each other, coming up with arbitrary “rules” from game mechanics that were deemed unfair.

I don’t think I’m seeing the same picture as the Elders and Danzo, but I most definitely not seeing the same picture as Tsunade or anyone else. Because to me, bringing Naruto back seems like one of the worst choices possible. While I understand he is currently training to surpass Jiraya or at least become as strong as Jiraya so he could beat Pain calling him back could lead to him losing to Pain and getting captured.

He was there for like week at most, meaning you can’t really expect him to come back with something like an imperfect Sage mode(or a perfected version of it), so there’s a massive chance of him losing.

Then again, you had people like Konohamaru kill a Pain, and Kakashi who I think killed or massively crippled the Asura path, so bringing him back with those highly skilled or powerful Shinoni plus others like Torture guy(can’t recall his name) could help him fight by a good margin since the reason for Jiraya’s loss and Naruto’s loss was due to the number of opponents. But this is knowledge I doubt anyone else had at the time and even then the Asura path’s death or crippling was done by complete accident too.

Anyways, unrelated to the question, but Danzo could’ve probably just undid all the damage and destruction Pain had done by using Izanagi. I don’t think there was ever an established limit to it’s abilities seeing how in a flashback some Uchiha used it to revive their entire squad(but I guess didn’t undo to the damage to the environment). So if Danzo got off of his fat fucking ass for once and actually did something useful to literally anyone(including Tobirama because we all know that killing the Uchiha would’ve pissed him off since he cares more for the village than hating the Uchiha) they likely wouldn’t even needed Naruto in the first place.

So something I always wondered when I first read this scene in the Manga, Tsunade forbade Naruto from ever using the Rasenshruiken because of the equal damage it does in return. Was there ever anyone who could've perhaps pointed out that he could use a shadow clone to deliver the attack while his real body stayed back?

If its been explained then I'd love to know, or if this is just a plot point not thought about.

Obviously, I’m talking about the time before Sasuke lost the Rinnegan and Naruto lost Kurama.

He was born with half of her power/chakra and was born with the Rinnegan.Then he learned Senjutsu from the Toads and got acces to Six Paths Senjutsu.He ends up defeating and sealing Kaguya with the help of his brother Hamura.After that he becomes the Jinchuriki of the Ten Tails until his old age where he makes the 9 other bijus.

Just imagine how big of a boost Hagoromo got after becoming it's Jinchuriki.

Plus Hagoromos main thing is chakra control and what he could do with it like no one comes close to his level of mastery over chakra.

Also Juubidara was getting close to Old Man Ghost Hagoromos power not Prime Ten Tails Jinchuriki Hagoromo.

Plus half of old Man Ghost Hagoromos chakra was enough to make Naruto and Sasuke near equals to Juubidara.

What an amazing experience it was. Here are my two cents on the show.

Naruto og I enjoyed more than shippuden because everyone had a personality in OG, no one was fangirling over naruto like crazy neither naruto over sasuke. Some very intense fights like Lee vs Gaara, Gaara vs Naruto, team 7 vs Zabuza, Sasuke retrieval arc and many more. Frankly I hated match between Ino and Sakura in chunin exam cause fighting over a boy brother ew. I found this plot very triggering for me cause female friendships are really precious. Frankly i hated Sakura in og naruto.

But when i started shippuden, every character had such a yummy glow up i really liked that part. Sakura became my favorite character but still i neither shipped her with sasuke nor naruto. Kakashi's backstory was straight up slow poisoned death. The scene where he was washing his hands off after chidori-ing Rin was so disturbing yet relatable to PTSD bearers.

I really shipped Jiraya with Tsunade until 106 joke. It was just disgusting. I really liked and appreciated Jiraya Sensei but Dan was so respectful and considerate towards Tsunade.

My favorite couple was ofc Minato and Kushina, Minato is so much husband material that I just jskskskskks and Kushina is so cool.

Whole pain arc was just absolute cinema.

About 4th great ninja war, it was more of a psychological warfare, fighting against their dead loved ones, ugh the resilience it required.

Powershow of Madara, the ghost of Uchiha was high-key entertaining. All the episodes until Obito stood by him, i was sat.

About Rin and Obito, the whole love triangle was just so messy. I never really bought that story like na-uh, this is disturbing. In fact the whole idea of infinite tsukyomi was just so lame. Madara should have started smoking some w**d instead of this bs dream.

Sasuke vs naruto final showdown in death valley was my favorite fight. It was peak for me.

Last but not least, Orochimaru should've ha*ged till death publicly

(These are screenshots taken from my favourite scenes, i have a lot of them)

And that how Naruto became one of my favorite shows.

I personally think it's the same arc and it's the conclusion to the story of the Chunin Exams, it literally happens during the Chunin Exams.

I don't think there is a need to separate it, although I know some people do that for the Chunin Exams to not be so big or just to recognize events easier.

The same happens with Naruto's fight with Sasuke near the end of Part 1, in which they separate it from the rest of the "Sasuke Retrieval Arc" and consider it it's own arc.

Even someone like Hashirama

It’s ok guys. He didn’t die to sickness. He probably just got got, like any shinobi.

I am addicted to blind box figures, and Blokees makes some of the best. This is from their Galaxy series.

I don’t know too much about this character yet, as I’ve only just started looking into him after pulling the figure. But based on the clips I’ve seen, it seems like he is pretty powerful. Is that right? Where does he rank in the power hierarchy, according to the lore?

I have my problems with the Sasuke Retrieval arc in retrospective. A lot of it having to do with Team 7 just being written weirdly imo. For example the fight with Sasuke in the hospital. Up to this point we seen Naruto become more socially aware, empathetic and mature. All of these aspects of growth kinda go away for this moment, Naruto isn’t socially aware to put the pieces together of Sasuke treating Sakura like dirt. In fact Naruto doesn’t even pay any attention to what Sakura in the manga(it should be pointed out in the anime, Naruto does chew Sasuke out about his treatment to Sakura; making the fight seem a bit motivated towards Sakura mistreatment) in fact Sakura kinda can be written and drawn out the scene and nothing would change(not saying she shouldn’t be here but adding to my point of lack of social awareness). Empathy also take a back seat as Naruto just antagonize Sasuke about his loss and being weak the whole time. Which lead into the immaturity of the whole thing that feel like regression, why does Naruto want to fight a just recovered out of coma Sasuke. It feel like a moment where he take the high ground and not fight Sasuke but he does so largely for selfish reasons of his pride and ego hence the line about headband. I’m curious if anyone find this to also be character regression or they feel that this is still in character for Naruto at this point?

We saw the entire lore and history of naruto world. The great ninja wars, formation of konoha, kages coordinating ninja wars yet we never saw daimyos involved politically in both domestic and foreign policies much. Why? I mean like if they are financiers, shouldn't they be involved in what gives them benefit? Shouldn't a daimyo have a say about uchiha conspiracy and how to deal with it? Do the daimyos not get intelligence about what's happening around the world?

Like if they are only defacto political heads then it doesn't matter. But if they finance stuff, make things stable behind the scenes then they should have incentives to intervene in political matters.
