A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.

To be fair they were all meant to be Kisame/Zetsu looking monsters and Pein is basically six Frankenstein controlled remotely by a man who is very close to being a corpse.

Honestly I think I miss the original Naruto a whole lot, and I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

the manga ended with naruto punching some (but not all) of the rear end in a top hat out of sasuke. kaguya happened, and she sucked, but that wasn't the end of the manga.

From what I have seen the Sasuke fight seems more tacked on than Kaguya.

I mean it had to happen but that is also what it felt like.

after teaming up to save the world, sasuke was still an rear end in a top hat and acted accordingly. there were plenty of reasons for sasuke to chill the heck out, but he ignored all of them. he was never going to stop being an rear end in a top hat without naruto beating him nearly to death. if sasuke had risen above his petty egotism based on the situation, reason, or even his own experiences, well, the manga would have been very different.

pre-shippuuden had a lot of clever concepts and interesting hooks that would have been really good for a show about ninjas going on relatively self-contained missions, sort of a monster of the week deal with room for longer storylines as needed. like, say, arcs about hunting missing-nin, intervening in kiri's civil war, etc.

instead we got the journey of ninja jesus

it's kinda sad

That chick's name was Konan and she's pretty cool. Too bad that Obito killed her :smith:

It's also one of the more savage killings in all Naruto.

Like he kills her and crushes everything she had left.

Art is bad, but I actually like the story now that's past the movie.

This dude is nowhere near as good at framing panels as Kishimoto was.

Can't wait for the Anime to get to it. If it does.

Boruto has been able to throw Rasengan's since he learned them. His also disappear

It was the plot point behind the movie arc.

The whole manga has been about history repeating itself so this is no surprise.

It's my understanding that anyone can use any jutsu if they have the chakra for it, but everyone has a predisposition to a certain element that makes melding chakra for those jutsu easier. Naruto has the wind element, so when it came to upgrade his Rasengan (that he still couldn't actually mould the chakra for without a shadow clone to help), using his element was the logical choice.
