Honestly, the Kage's are a terrifying loving concept, and the people who stand on their level are even more so, The First Hokage could make forests with a flick of his wrist, his brother the Second Hokage could make loving oceans without a thought, The Third Hokage in his prime was like a walking rear end-kicking machine, and the fourth Hokage could literally teleport and kill and entire army in seconds, I mean poo poo, Kimimaro made a literal forest of loving bones and he was pretty much dead for his fight with Rock Lee and Gaara, the kind of damage that powerful ninja can accomplish when they are truly trying to kill each other is like act's of god randomly appearing in the universe, hell, the First Hokage's fight with Madara is like the equivalent of dropping a nuke into a canyon

TwoPair posted:I suppose. My personal belief is that pretty much everyone in Naruto-land knows where the village is but 99% of the population just stays the gently caress away because of all the bullshit that goes on around there. It's like Gotham City in Batman: sure you could go visit, but why take the risk? The fact that Chakra is a rare ability only a small percentage of the population (almost exclusively Ninjas with only a few exceptions) is a minor plot point mentioned right near the start of the story that is promptly never mentioned again until right at the end when it suddenly is of major importance to the story.

So the final movie (I hope) aired in Australia. And It couldn't resist one more bit of being really dumb and killing whatever characterization the protagonists had before the series went batshit stupid. At least the game is fun when you're fighting eh?

Yeah the Naruto story is basically a runaway train and it ends exactly how you'd expect. Kishimoto really went overboard with the man behind the man behind the man behind the man behind the man.

Well, to be honest, none of them weren't very good at ruling their villages because honestly, they were all at war while they were "in office" the only one of them that had any peaceful moments was Sarutobi, and quiet frankly, he was a loving relic by the time he died, Tsunade could learn from the mistakes of the four idiots before her, the only Kage besides her and Gaara that strikes me as competent is the Raikage, A, because jesus Christ, he was less a figurehead and more a wrestling machine from hell, paired with his brother B

Doopliss posted:From abandoning the anime around the beginning of Shippuden (this being my only other exposure), the impression I get is that the Uchiha were a bunch of power-hungry assholes, and insofar as they're considered a nuisance it's because of the power-hungry assholery. Madara ragequit because they refused to give him the single highest office in the village, and given Sasuke's "Uchiha pride" you get the idea that they're really just highly-offended that they're not in charge. No that's pretty much accurate; the only genuinely good Uchiha who appears in the story is Itachi. Literally every other Uchiha we see is either a whining man-child like Sasuke or trying take over the world like Madara. And Itachi of course spends like three quarters of the story looking like a bad guy just to muddy the waters further. Ninjas loving poo poo up is a running theme of the story though and is why Naruto is so important because he's one of the only people who can get Ninjas to actually work together in good faith instead of constantly trying to find a way to dick each other over which is what happens normally.

Unlike some dead characters (Orochimaruuuuuu) Alright, so Itachi and his best friend are the only two good Uchihas to appear in the story.

I will say the downside to the "Kage's are basically acts of God" thing was that Naruto at the beginning had some pretty decent fights since it was mostly brawling with a few Jutsu. But to borrow a pro-wrestling term, basically as the series went on, psychology disappeared in favor of Spotfests. Just endlessly throwing high level jutsu at one another so the story of every fight pretty much became "The story of a man being told to believe it and then getting Rasengan'd in the face 20 times." They pretty much lost all substance and became big colourful explosions until you're thinking to yourself, "Is it sure it didn't mean Wizards instead of Ninja?" EDIT: and this is why Rock Lee and Might Guy are the best characters, their combat style is "Kick you in the face" and "Kick you in the face fancier and harder!"

 UPDATE TIME!   Today, Sasuke's busy building new plans for revenge, so let's see what's happening back at the Hidden Leaf Village! Seems that trouble's brewing in the Hidden Rain Village, and Legendary Sannin Jiraiya is ready for action! Can he stealth his way through rivers and villages to discover exactly what's happening with the Akatsuki? Find out today with the start of Chapter 6: The Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant! I'm really happy with the episode because everyone's back to having fun all the time for commentary. The punning techniques fly in this update! Characters Introduced This Update  Konan One of the co-founders of the Akatsuki. Silent and tactical in nature, Konan never speaks up during the Akatsuki meetings, which is why you may not have noticed her so far. Her demeanor is always serious and distant, but she is very protective of her allies. Her affinity for origami eventually mainfested in her jutsus, which involve her infusing paper with chakra in order to use it as a weapon. This eventually culminated in a unique transformation technique that allows her to turn her body into and paper and manipulate it to increase her own physical abilities. It's pretty cool and can lead to some nice visual effects.

So, I'm not trying to say you guys aren't doing a good job with this LP, but I'm kind of sad that this is going on at all because every update is just a reminder that Naruto is a thing and that I'm never truly free. Like, in the time since Naruto ended my life has genuinely improved. I feel happier and I'm enjoying the things I loved in my youth again. I have confidence and respect for myself again. My skin is less pale and colors seem more vibrant. Daily tasks don't feel like chores that I just slog through to get to the end of the week only to repeat the cycle again immediately. And yet every time an update shows up on my Subscriptions page on youtube I'm like 'yeah ok' and click it. Only 2 things have changed since November: My puppy got big enough to go places with me and Naruto ended. One of these was clearly a factor in the improvement of my life and mental health, but the funnier option is Naruto being over. voted 5

Hearing some people being fuckin' wrong about Rasengan in this video Time for another Naruto Effortpost  So the Rasengan is the ultimate form of Chakra Shape Manipulation; the absolute pinnacle of that school of Chakra usage. What the gently caress does that mean? Well Chakra is basically life energy; everyone has a bit. But Ninjas and almost all other characters who appear in the story (but only a tiny fraction of the actual total world population) have extra Chakra and can control that Chakra. Ninjas can use their Chakra to do things without worrying about just up and dying and furthermore their Chakra regenerates quite quickly and can grow in size with training allowing a single Ninja to possess the same amount of Chakra as thousands or even millions of normal humans. What do they do with the Chakra? Well mostly they use it for spells, or as they call them techniques or 'Jutsu'. The way they use the Chakra is by manipulating its Shape and Nature, Shape is exactly what it sounds like and is literally the art of making your Chakra move around to different parts of your body, sending it into objects you are holding or even hurling it through the air itself. Shape Manipulation techniques are also the basic techniques for hand to hand combat, walking on water, running up walls and other similar feats and are achieved by moving your Chakra to the desired location and then shaping it to strengthen your body, stick your feet to a surface or increase the solidity of water. The Rasengan is basically a hurricane of Chakra; it looks like just a single spinning ball but it actually has multiple layers which are all intertwining and swirling around each other at incredible speeds, furthermore the Rasengan is incredibly dense, so dense that even normal humans can see the Chakra which is why it appears as a solid object rather than a sort of ephemeral haze or cloud like normal Chakra. It can basically be thought of as taking your Chakra and shaping it into a blender and the technique was initially invented by the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. Jiraya actually explains all this to Naruto when he first teaches Naruto the technique. The other thing Jiraya mentions is that the technique is incomplete; Minato wanted to add Nature Manipulation to the Rasengan but he died before he was able to work out how. Despite its incredible power the Rasengan is only half of a proper Jutsu. So what is Nature Manipulation? Well Chakra in the Narutoverse comes with an elemental alignment; its Nature. Chakra Nature broadly falls into one of five elemental alignments; Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth and Water and each element has a circular balance being weak against the one behind it and strong against the one in front of it; Fire beats Wind which beats Lightning which beats Earth which beats Water which beats Fire. However it's not quite that simple because people typically have more than one Chakra Nature! Everyone has a primary Nature; Naruto's is Wind and Sasuke's is Fire for example. But most people also have a secondary Nature and some even have a third one! For most people this means that with practice they can be really good at Jutsu using their primary nature and pretty good at ones with their secondary, but some people can potentially have up to all five Chakra Natures, these people are typically scary powerful. Kakashi is an example of someone with all five Natures which is why he is able to copy any single Nature technique. Yeah you heard me I said single Nature techniques; some rare people have what basically amounts to a primary affinity for two or more Chakra Natures, these people can potentially learn to combine their multiple Natures together to create an entirely new amalgamated Chakra Nature. These combined Natures are extremely powerful and are typically jealously guarded by those who wield them, as Chakra can be inherited genetically many of the known combined Natures are 'Kekkei Genkai' or 'Bloodline Limit' and are the focus around which a family of specialists who use the technique grows. The term is also used to mean that they combine two different Chakra Natures together; Haku from the original series is an example as he used the Ice Chakra Nature which was made by mixing Water and Wind. Even rarer than Bloodline Limits are 'Kekkei Tōta' or 'Bloodline Selection' powers which involve mixing three different Nature transformations. Only one kind of tri-combination Nature is ever shown in the story and we haven't met them yet so there's no example here. So back to the Rasengan; the Rasengan requires intense concentration and skill to be able to produce the really complicated Shape Manipulation, adding Nature Manipulation into that makes the entire thing exponentially harder as Nature Manipulation is notably more difficult than Shape Manipulation which is why it is taught later. Naruto ended up making about a hundred clones of himself and working basically 24/7 for months before he was able to combine the two and imbue his Wind Chakra into the Rasengan. To use an analogy the normal Rasengan is a hurricane, the Rasenshuriken is taking that hurricane and transforming the rain into razorblades. Wind Chakra is mostly about forming blades and sharpening edges which is why when imbued into the Rasengan it transforms it into a storm of microscopic blades that literally kill every single cell in your entire body if it hits you. If Naruto had a different Nature the resulting Rasengan would be different, it is also worth noting that by successfully creating the Rasenshuriken Naruto has basically invented one of the most powerful direct attack spells in the entire Naruto universe and only a small handful of people, most of whom are cheating, can deal with it and almost no-one can actually survive a hit from it. Finally in ending I should mention that Chakra Natures are not limited to just the Elemental transformations, there is also the Yin and Yang transformation with Yin being the basis of imagination and spiritual energy and Yang the basis of vitality and physical energy. Yin and Yang Nature Transformation is the source of non-elemental techniques like Shikamaru's shadow techniques, Chouji's size changing techniques, medical ninjitsu and genjutsu. Yin and Yang Chakra is also what Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique uses and what the Nine Tailed Fox has absolute poo poo-tons of which is why he can make so many without dying horribly.

Or in short, a whole bunch of interesting things for a setting if it wasn't supposed to be about Ninja's, and wasn't written by Kishimoto and starring every single useless poo poo he thought up. Though it does help (as you brought up they're Direct Attack Spells and such) give my favourite summation for Naruto (long before it went even further of the rails of insanity) and that it's more a series of wizards who know Kung-Fu rather than any actual ninja.

Oh yeah all this 'Jutsu' nonsense is complete crap. 'Ninjitsu' includes things like walking up walls, running silently at full speed, vanishing in shadows and maybe some short range teleportation or 'blinking', Ninjitsu does not loving include breathing fireballs or creating trees or summoning the god of death. Replacing 'Ninja' with 'Wizard', 'Technique' with 'Spell' and 'Chakra' with 'Mana' makes everything much easier to process.

Good effort post but I just want to expand on this bit. We've seen that just about everybody in this series has some kind of "clone" (water, wood, acid) ability, but for some reason the one that Naruto uses (shadow) is the only forbidden one and also uses way more mana to use, even though it seems way shittier because it has only 1 hp. So why exactly is Naruto's secretly the best? Shadow clones are special in that they aren't just constructs like other clone spells, they are capable of independent thought and when they are destroyed all the information they gathered is given to the original. This means a couple things: first, Naruto is the single trickiest motherfucker in the entire show because he is one step removed from a hive mind. Second, Naruto can go full Hyperbolic Time Chamber by just brute force learning stuff with his army of shadow clones.

Skyfinder posted:I think it's also considered a forbidden technique because, and I admit this is more a vague reading, the series seems to imply that this is the only clone technique that can be lethal to the user through use. Oh so now you want an effortpost about clones huh? Clone techniques are one of the few kinds of ninjitsu that actually look like fuckin ninjitsu; ninjas making clones of themselves or tricking others into thinking they have is a long standing thing. The basic clone technique is pretty much just taking your Chakra and shaping it into a copy of yourself, thus basic clones are mindless and must be directly and purposely controlled by the creator or they just stand there dumbly; you see this right at the start of the original series in Episode 1 wherin Naruto fails hilariously at Clones. The most common user of clones in the series is Kakashi; one of his signature moves is to create a clone of himself out of a small tree stump which reverts back upon being struck. Additionally as I mentioned the Clone technique is primarily a Shape Manipulation and yes you can totally combine it with a Nature Manipulation; Kakashi again loves to do this and his favorite is to make a Lightning Clone which then electrocutes the poo poo out of whoever stabs it. The one common factor across all Clone techniques is that if the clone takes any damage at all it vanishes in a poof of smoke. There is however another kind of clone; the Shadow Clone. Shadow Clones are made by pure Yin\Yang Transformation and basic Shape Manipulation and are unique in that they are a complete and total copy of yourself. Whenever you create a Shadow Clone your Chakra is immediately divided equally amongst yourself and the clones; this means a few things. Shadow Clones can inflict serious damage; one Shadow Clone has half your power and can actually cast spells using that Chakra unlike normal clones which cannot. This also makes them very hard to tell apart from the original as they have the same Chakra. Shadow Clones are independent entities and copies of your mind; they are not puppets. This means Shadow Clones can think, move and act on their own so long as they do not take damage. Shadow Clones are solid, they are flesh and bone not Chakra masquerading as such and are thus quite a bit tougher than normal clones. Finally and most importantly; when a Shadow Clone is destroyed the remaining Chakra instantly returns to the original along with the Clone's memories and experiences. Combined with the ability to act on their own this makes Shadow Clones excellent for scouting as even if discovered and destroyed the user still knows all the Clone saw and did. Canny Ninjas (like Kakashi  ) often use Shadow Clones at the start of a fight to help them get an idea of what their opponent is capable of.The normal Shadow Clone Technique only allows the creation of 1 Shadow Clone, splitting Chakra 50/50. Anyone is allowed learn and use this technique but because of the Chakra splitting and because the unique things about Shadow Clones aren't widely known most Ninjas erroneously consider the technique to be a waste of time. However there is another form of the technique; the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Now at this point it's worth mentioning that only Konoha ninjas are ever shown using the Shadow Clone technique in the mango which suggests that it was invented by a Konoha ninja, this is further supported by the fact that the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is stored on Konoha's 'Scroll of Seals' a huge-rear end scroll containing tons of forbidden techniques gathered by the First Hokage including the technique used to seal the Nine Tails in Naruto and the Shadow Clone\Multi Shadow Clone techniques. Unlike the Shadow Clone Technique the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is considered a Forbidden Technique, the reason is that it allows the user to create literally as many Shadow Clones as they want. I'm not kidding; Naruto creates thousands of Shadow Clones, sometimes even hundreds of thousands in a few battles. Remember how the Shadow Clones split Chakra evenly between them and you kind of need a minimum amount of Chakra to be alive? Yeah if you are a normal person and you try to make too many clones (most people can handle up to about 3 or 4) then your Chakra can totally dip below the amount needed for you to be alive and you just fuckin die right there and then. Good job! As mentioned though Shadow Clones are almost pure Yin\Yang transformation and the Nine Tails is basically a mountain of Yin\Yang Chakra so Naruto can just spam Shadow Clones all day erry day and have nothing to worry about. The only other character who ever uses Multiple Shadow Clones is; you guessed it Kakashi. He likes to use the technique to make 2 - 3 clones but remarks that if he tried for much more it would go very badly for him. Naruto eventually becomes something of a Shadow Clone maestro and is able to accurately summon Shadow Clones in specific locations and stances to allow him to perform a number of really amusing attacks; you've seen him do this a number of times in the game where he'll create a bunch of clones and form them into a whip which then slams down on the enemy. Naruto also likes to use Shadow Clones to give himself some air mobility; summoning them next to him while he is falling and having them push him out of the way of an attack proves to be a life saver many times. Once he learns about the experience transferring thing Naruto also uses the Shadow Clones to train like a motherfucker though it is worth noting that he has in fact been doing that for the entire story as most fights involving Naruto are basically him creating Shadow Clones a bunch until he suddenly launches a surprise attack thanks to now being super familiar with all the enemy's moves. It is mostly important for the development of the Rasenshuriken however as Naruto was basically able to cram a decade or two worth of training over the course of a month by just summoning a ton of clones and training in parallel. This particular capability means Naruto could potentially have literally thousands of years of experience by the time he is an old man. There is also an upcoming development in the story that should appear in a few episodes where Naruto figures out another really useful trick using Shadow Clones, and indeed he will continue using Shadow Clones to great success throughout the entire story. Shadow Clones being able to manipulate Chakra is also why Naruto uses one to form the Rasengan or two to form the Rasenshuriken; one Naruto holds the Rasenwhatever and pours the Chakra in, the second then shapes the Chakra into the swirling stormball and the third adds the Wind Nature for the Rasenshuriken. It's worth noting that by Shippuden Naruto is totally capable of forming a normal Rasengan on his own with just one hand but he is a lazy fucker and its easier to do it with a clone so he almost always uses a clone anyway.
