RareAcumen posted:Yeah, all I'm asking is if she ended up in a coma because of back when she was fighting in that assault on the leaf village. Yes. She fought off some Pains but then fell into a coma instead of dying like everyone else, which is why she's not back in fighting shape unlike all the revived ninja. The one exception just happens to be the village ninja president.

 UPDATE TIME!   It had to happen eventually, so why not get it out of the way early? Today, Naruto joins the rest of Team 7 as they fight amongst themselves, and he's ready to beat the shittiness out of Sasuke! Can Naruto find the humanity left in Sasuke and stop him from his admittedly hasty plan to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village? Will anyone else take advantage of the situation and kill Sasuke? Did the bridge ACTUALLY rebuild itself mid-fight? All this and more on the finale of Chapter 2!

*Kakashi sees Sakura* Kakashi: Why did you come? Seriously, why are you even loving here? Sasuke: I don't want to change! I don't want to understand you! Jesus Christ if he's that determined to not be saved then just loving kill him. sirtommygunn fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Mar 26, 2016 |

The bridge has two segments, and it looked "fixed" because the camera wasn't on the half of the bridge that had a ball carved out of it. Thank you Madara for whisking Sasuke away, it took you long enough.

Christ Sakura is the most pathetic character by design. Kishimoto is not a good writer, if you havent noticed. The loving Naruto omake (springtime of youth) has more Pathos than the main series. Im not going to ever drop it. Sasuke is a terrible character only propped up by popularity votes. Else he'd have died a long, long time ago. Naruto became terrible through it's audience. Though it's like I said: Kishimoto cannot do female characters. Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Mar 26, 2016 |

I personally think Sasuke was an okay character in the first half, it's just like most things about Shippunden he got really bad. For example Sasuke really was getting less lovely, then Itachi showed up again and drove him mad whilst Orochimaru hosed with his head. A recurring theme is Sasuke is a gullible twit who doesn't think for himself as long as he has someone to hate, and Madara took advantage of it. If he hadn't met Madara he totally would have agreed to return to the Leaf after killing Itachi, probably as a hero for killing the two greatest traitors they ever had.

Considering how this pretty much happens with everyone he fought- Gaara, Kiba, Neji, Nagato- my point still stands that being his friend is like being connected to the dark one. There is no 'Backing out' on our agreement. We're friends for life now Sasuke. Even if you die and get brought back to life. U.T. Raptor posted:Yeah, he grew up with the entire village making GBS threads on him (the series really doesn't convey this very well, so it ends up more an informed quality than anything), so making a friend... of sorts, was a huge deal for him. Yeah, and that's another thing that doesn't really make any sense. Is that just because of the Nine Tails? You'd think being a Hokage's son would kinda make people put up with you more.

The information that Naruto is the Fourth's son was suppressed by the Third so the Rock Village wouldn't try to have him assassinated, seeing as they gave a flee on sight order during the last Ninja War against him because he kept killing all their Ninja and would absolutely attempt to kill the son of their greatest enemy. I think the only people who actually know are Jiraiya, Tsunade(?), the Third, Madara, Kakashi, Danzo/elders and various members of ANBU who are entirely loyal to the Hokage anyway. Interestingly the Fourth is also mainly remembered for dying to the Kyuubi over anything else, so the living reminder of the death of the Fourth Hokage is a pretty easy target for hatred amongst the civilians and ninja alike. Although everyone above Jounin level probably didn't really care about the nine-tails and a lot of people overstate how bad Naruto had it. He was shunned and ignored but never physically attacked, basically he was alone but unlike Gaara no-one tried to kill him. Also whilst the Third Hokage declared the whole Jinchuuriki thing a secret under threat of execution Danzo was probably spreading the information behind his back in the hopes of isolating Naruto to one day get him into Root. After all a weapon you can't aim is barely a weapon at all and the Third wasn't doing anything to train or control Naruto as a weapon of the Leaf, it's probably one of the things he and Danzo argued over a lot. For reference the thing about being the son of the Fourth was similarly declared a secret and nobody knows that one, so it's pretty likely something went wrong in the suppression of Naruto's Jinchuuriki status.

Suppressed or not it's pretty dumb that nobody connected the dots for years since Naruto is like a clone of his dad aside from clothing differences and Naruto's silly face-whiskers. God knows I'm not gonna wiki it or anything, but I think Naruto and his dad are like, the only people in the whole leaf village with blonde hair (if not only the number is certainly low) VVV: okay that makes like, five or six? my point stands. Or maybe the fourth's death was a ruse from the ninja media to avoid an impending sex scandal with Ino's mom. TwoPair fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Mar 27, 2016 |

Tsunade is blonde and Jiraiya has a seriously overgrown version of the spiky hair, which leads me to suspicions about the Fourth's parentage considering we never learn anything about them, he's an orphan from memory. Also whilst Naruto as a well-fed, healthy young man is a pretty close match for his father, Naruto is a bit bulkier from memory, as a child he has none of the sharpness of his father's face and is noted to behave a lot like his mother, the Fourth was a somewhat serious man and Naruto is anything but. Finally whilst the adults probably don't want to make the connection in their heads, I think almost all of his friends work it out before he himself does, and those who do know realise that they should probably not talk about a secret that discussion of is very likely to lead to imprisonment with the IT deparment and questioning on why you'd break such a serious law. I was not joking about the potentially deadly repercussions of discussing both Naruto holding the Fox and his Father. They really are secrets important enough that the Third installed very serious punishments for breaking them. Ultimately if people were going to search for Naruto's parents they'd start with the Uzumaki name, as they are ancient allies of the Leaf and have been intermarrying with the Senju for generations, he could easily be the son of a survivor of the destruction of Uzushiogakure who married a Senju, hence the blonde hair which is a known Senju trait. The only people who even knew the Fourth was married were Kakashi, the Third, the Third's wife and the Anbu. To everyone else he was the perfect ninja machine.

Dude's eating up a dozen buffets worth of screen time that could go to better characters like Might Guy. Or less lovely but not interesting ones like Ino. Or hell, we could be using that time to watch people cook because anytime Sasuke is on screen people should be asking 'What could be happening instead of Sasuke getting more screen time?' gently caress Sasuke, LP's good.

As someone with zero knowledge of Naruto, I've pretty much gotten all my info from the LPs and so far it doesn't really advertise Naruto to me very well, though the anime's got some nice fight scenes even if the finger puzzle chackra jutsus look dumb. My impression of Naruto is that of a dangerously obsessive and immature child, pretty much a ticking time bomb that ends up being catered to by everyone considering how dangerous he can be with the wrong mindset. I think the village is receptive and nice to him out of fear and that makes way more sense to me than these people actually being friends with this crazy moron. His obsession over Sasuke probably didn't help matters either and he's a sociopath bound on committing mass murder. If it hadn't been for Naruto's obsessive personality, they probably would've taken care of Sasuke long ago. Uncle Kitchener fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Apr 9, 2016 |

UPDATE TIME!   Today, Tsunade's woken up, and it's already time for a new UN meeting! All of the Kages vote Naruto off the mainland and onto an island to keep him away from the upcoming war, under the guise of getting training from the less-than-enthused Killer Bee. It's not the best solution, since they're such strong ninja, but better than having them on the frontlines at risk of capture or death I suppose. Meanwhile, some arms deals are going on behind the scenes with Madara... Characters Introduced This Episode  Tsunade A high-ranking ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village, and currently the Fifth Hokage. She was in a coma after the Pain invasion but has thankfully woken up just as her temporary substitute died, and she's more than ready to jump back into politics. She has a lot to catch up on though, and speed doesn't sound like the best feature of someone known as "the Slug Princess".
