Chorps I fixed some stuff in your glossary.

Byakugan
X-Ray vision but not the kind where you can see through ladies' clothes, it is the least bullshit of the eye powers and therefore the most useless.

Sharingan
A bullshit eye power that is originally supposed to just copy powers but eventually does whatever the plot needs it to.

Rinnegan
The most bullshit of the eye powers... you should just read chorps' description because i was going to make a joke but goddamn there's just too much poo poo the rinnegan can do


Bukijutsu

A catch-all term for any technique based around the use of weapons. pointless nonsense. Weapons in Naruto only exist to get owned by other techniques or eye powers so people can go "WHOOAAA" and react. Or, in analogy form, shurikens:Naruto::any attack Krillin throws:DBZ.

but no seriously I am super glad to see this LP because I loved the UNS2 LP and much like Lord_Magmar, I've read a lot of the plot on Wikipedia without actually watching the show because I guess I'm weird, and I want to see it play out.

Oh and jokes aside, your post does have an error Chorps.

quote:

Kazekage
The leader of the Hidden Sand Village. There have been five Kazekages in the history of the Hidden Sand Village, with Gaara acting as the fifth and current Hokage. Gaara’s father was the fourth Hokage.

Zetsu seems like the author saw the Joker in a Batman movie/cartoon/comic and thought "y'know, I like this guy's flair for the dramatic, but he really lacks the loving creep factor I'm looking for... Oh I know, I'll make him able to warp through floors and have him look like a totally naked burn victim, that'll work."

How do you even implant eyes into an arm? I'm willing to accept stealing eyes and implanting them into your own head because gently caress it whatever, mystic eye bullshit, but drat, an arm doesn't have the loving blood vessels or whatever to keep those eyes functioning.

I mean I know I should just accept it because this is Naruto and this is just the tip of the iceberg on bullshit eye powers but the eye-arm is probably the dumbest thing we've seen yet in this game of wizards ninjas flinging stupid spells jutsus at each other.

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.

So I know the game heavily abridges the anime/manga but did Kabuto transforming into a snake-man ever really get mentioned in the last game at all? Because otherwise that Kabuto and Madara scene is just a super weird moment of "Oh hey guys look how hosed up I am" out of the blue.

Also I get that "immature little poo poo who is fiercely loyal to friends" is like the beginning and end of Naruto's character but his complete inability to call adults by their names instead of dumb nicknames is super annoying and really serves to make me dislike him.

Lord_Magmar posted:

I mentioned it earlier but the basic reason why they seal it in Kushina is she's the only Uzumaki young enough for them to safely do so. I can't recall right now but I'm pretty sure the Kyuubi's sheer Chakra mass is damaging to seal into adults whose Chakra networks have been solidified by puberty, and at the time it was thought only an Uzumaki could have the full power Kyuubi sealed inside and it'd have to be before puberty to ensure that the Chakra Network grew with the seal instead of being destroyed by the initial sealing.


Man, then the Uzumaki clan needs to start popping out some more kids until they get a boy. It's the responsible thing to do. Or make the girls nuns. Naruto has Catholics, right? :v:

Oh so I've been making dumb jokes about seals, but one thing I really do think is dumb(er) is Naruto telling the fox that he'll "do right by it" after re-sealing it. Like, why the gently caress would the fox care? The fox clearly only wants to kill everything and everyone starting with Naruto, I doubt utilizing his power wisely is suddenly going to make the fox chill like Killer Bee's octo-bison. That scene might as well have ended with Naruto going "GOT YOUR POWER BYE FOREVER".

So, folks who have watched/read Naruto, how many episodes/chapters did the shark-man spend hiding on Killer Bee's back? Because these games skip swaths of plot, and he fake-died back in UNS2, so I have to imagine that in "real" time, Shark Boy was biding his time shapeshifted into a sword on Killer Bee's back for like six loving months.

So the zombie jutsu brings the corpses back but it also gives them all their memories and personality traits too?

Kinkaku and Ginkaku
Also known as the Gold and Silver Brothers. At one point they were devoured by the Nine Tails, but forced the Nine Tails to regurgitate them out by eating him from the inside out. This eventually led them to gain huge chakra reserves, similar to Naruto. They use this newfound power to steal world treasures and assassinate several world leaders and were regarded as powerful but despicable criminals. Now they've been revived, and they're right back to causing havoc.

Wait, I thought the Nine Tails was basically a being made of pure chakra that just happened to look like a fox? So how does one eat it from the inside out? It's not like they could start gnawing on its organs... or is my understanding of the Fox demon flawed and he really is just a giant fox?

Wait so how do Itachi and Nagato have their bullshit eye powers when it's explicitly stated that Sasuke and Madara took their bullshit eyes? Is the reanimation just able to copy powers like that? Why not give that power to all the corpse army if you can duplicate the power without needing the actual eye? gently caress, why not give all your zombies bullshit eye powers, seems like it'd help the war effort. God it really is like the author just decided "gently caress it, let's do a boss rush, does [insert plot hole] make sense? FORGET IT WHO'LL NOTICE?"



Also is Itachi just straight up immortal now? Like they said earlier that the only thing stopping the zombie ninja from just resurrecting again immediately after an asswhuppin was those convenient mummy burrito seals all the good guys have.

As the plot gets dumber I have so many questions:


  • So why does the (dead) Raikage demand someone with wind-style to fight him? Are ninjas just loving pokemon with type weaknesses? Why would a wind-type be any more effective than a really strong [any other element] type ninja?
  • So why does Kabuto need to possess the Mummy the Tsuchikage to resurrect Madara? Hasn't he been resurrecting all these fuckin' zombies from miles and miles away and then he's able to talk to them in their heads? Did he just feel like a face to face conversation?
  • How does Madara instantly know about Madara's Tobi's plan?

  • Why does Naruto give a poo poo about his chakra level if he's a clone?
  • Furthermore, if he's a clone, how does he have a finite chakra level? I thought all the clones shared from the same pool but Naruto-Prime is still super saiyan on loving fire.

Not exactly. Unless the person who summoned him releases the spell his soul is going to stick around in that body, unless some other method is used to steal his soul.

So wait why doesn't Kabuto just release the spell on Itachi immediately? I mean, I've never been an evil ninja chessmaster (that I can recall) so maybe I don't understand his ways, but it seems to me like the minute your super powerful zombie ninja goes rogue is the minute to cancel the zombie spell.
