Naruto proves to Neji that hard work can beat a genius. Jk naruto is the son of SPECIAL RED POWER JINCHUURIKI LADY and the fourth konohaking, making him ULTRA SUPER HERO SPECIALI disagree. I don't want to beat on a dead horse, but while Naruto never reached Bleach shit levels, you can tell the author is milking the fan base after the Chuunin exam. There is actuallycharacter and plotdevelopment up until that point. Naruto started to grow as a character, and at one point was able to outsmart the genius Neji. That fight is the absolute highest point in the manga. Everything from there is just a downward spiral. Right after time skip, it's like the author forgot he matured Naruto as a character and became one dimensional for the last 7+ years.
Some are more... special.. than othersLike it really matters; the Naruto universe has no child left behind. Every single clan has their own specialty of some kind.
Thinking back during the Team 7 days... brings a tear to my eye. The bells? You're right, shit had magic to it.Naruto has jumped the shark, they just need to end this shit.
I miss the days when the Naruto world had some magic too it, now its all DBZ bullshit every week.
I'm gonna have to dig back, but I swear they DID do Shikamaru/Chouji/Ino vs. Edo Tensei Asuma. As well as Neji vs. his father (though i'm not as certain on that was as I am on the former).No I'd have been okay with the Edo Tensei shit if they'd just made the fights more meaningful. I mean for example, how the fuck could they not have done Dan vs. Tsunade? Shikamaru vs Asuma? Neji vs his Dad? Gaara vs his Dad(In a fight which lasts more than like, four panels!)
Cut out all the rest of the bullshit from characters we've never heard of before, just give all the other characters their meaningful fights.
And fuck all this current Obito bullshit, yes I know he's the same as Naruto, they established this back in the freaking Kakashi sidestory. Once he got his ass kicked they should have done all this power of the heart shit ending him in doing a Rinnegan true ressurection on Madara. Then have all the Edo Tensei Kages+Other Kages rampage on him with Naruto and Sasuke.
