Deidara's hand mouths at least have normal teeth, not sharp ones

Naruto comes back from the training trip. Longer hair, using hair spikes and shit jutsus. Can do seals on the fly for some really creative shit thanks to his funny brain. Is proficient in taijutsu and can dance around jonin level ninja. Isn't a retard who doesn't know what chakra natures are after spending so much time around people using them.

It's just the fact that he came back from a three year long training trip with the strongest ninja in the village having learned nothing. Quite literally he wasted three years for a bigger rasengan. It's so fucking infuriating every time I think about all the shit he could have learned if Kishi wasn't such a hack.

What Naruto loves about Sakura- which he finds out while self-inserting as Sasuke by transforming into him, is that he finds he appreciates Sakura for how she loves Sasuke. Naruto's crush is expressed vicariously through Sakura's until the 5 kage summit arc.
At the beginning of shippuden Naruto has moments where he seeks to affirm this dynamic still exists, like expressing how cool and attractive Sasuke is to gauge her reaction.

Naruhina fanboys can cope all they want but not even a single time throughout the entire manga did Naruto showed any romantic interest in her. It was a terribly done ship and anyone denying it is just a blind retard.

It could have actually been good, had it gotten some development. There were plenty of chances for it to happen, and with how many wasted chapters there are, dedicating a few pages here and there to some proper naruhina development would have been more than fine. As it is, it's a dogshit ship that makes absolutely no sense with what was presented to the reader before the last chapter.

That explains why he can't write a convincing romantic arc for Sakura or Hinata, but not why all his females are useless. To write a badass female, all you need to do is write a badass character and make them female. Probably he doesn't do it intentionally but the pattern is so consistent, I'm pretty sure his misogyny subconsciously leads to him making every badass character male and making all the females weak or jobbers.

>>285756322
Kishi isn't a misogynist.

>>285756939

I doubt Kishi hates women. But he grew up in a culture where women belong in the kitchen, to put it frankly. And it seems to me like he had a lack of female friends or family members, since he himself said that girls/women are a mystery to him. I agree with you that there doesn't need to be a big difference in how you write female and male characters, but it's not a common opinion in japan. Man and women are supposed to act quite different there. A good example however of a Japanese writer who portrays girls and women in a realistic way would be Hayao Miyazaki

>>285756939
he's definitely a male chauvinist

>>285759168
>I doubt Kishi hates women
Yeah, like the other anon said, chauvinism is the better word.
It's true that cultural gender differences are generally bigger in Japan, but the way Kishi uniquely shits the bed is still fully on him.

Forgot to mention, but you're unfortunately very right about this. Kishi also seems to think that females inherently lack the kind of determination or endurance that males have. It's evident in his character's dialogues, not just actions. That's chauvinistic for sure and shows his opinion of women, even if there's no ill intent. I live that pic, btw

Yeah, with dialogue like that it can be hard tell if or how much comes from the author, but since they tend to be some of his favorite characters and he consistently has females that are well positioned to be cool be fucking lame instead, it's hard not to take at face value.
>I love that pic, btw
The falling sequence they added in the anime was the first time I saw Yugito (I think I just wanted to watch the Shikamaru vs Hidan fight and hadn't watched much before that) and when I saw her lying with her hair spread like that, I instantly had to find out more.

I'm not saying every character needs big fights. Ino and Hinata are in a group with a lot of male characters that also didn't get cool fights and Hinata, kinda doesn't seem like much of a fighter, which is okay. It would've been enough if he made the Ino vs Sakura fight actually cool instead of the worst fight of the entire exams. He didn't have to make them lame and weak.
I mean there was a female Akatsuki member and she did literally nothing, except being eyecandy.

Also I think he could've more characters look badass if he made more Akatsuki fights a group effort, where multiple characters contribute something, though.

>>285734840
And Hinata doesn't actually value proud failures otherwise she would be in love with Lee. Kishimoto is a bad writer, and water is wet.

>Naruto is such a fucking retard holy shit
You just have to understand that this love triangle stuff was shoehorned in when Yahagi requested Kishi to add Sasuke and Sakura and form a cell with the three for the sake of spice/drama/character dynamic between them.

The JP original says she wants Sasuke to acknowledge her, and then has the Naruto panel repeat these words but with emphasis on the word "acknowledgement". This is the only chapter that tells us why he likes Sakura, and it's all because she wanted Sasuke's acknowledgement. Naruto has had a fucked up childhood and wants everyone to crave his acknowledgement; Sauce boy being the popular kid makes him envious and he wants to beat him at everything.

Early in that chapter, he sat next to Sasuke and Sakura tells him to move. And after that, Naruto glares at Sasuke, the "accidental kiss" happens, and he ends up getting beat up by Sakura because of it. After that, Naruto's first thought is "Sasuke, you jerk!", and "(and Sakura-chan too...)" comes afterwards. Sasuke is always at the forefront.

Wanting to show up Sasuke > Wanting to be acknowledged by Sakura. This structure is clearly visible since the beginning.

Even after when he's at the toilet, he just lightly thinks, "She called me annoying again!", lol.

That's why, having read Naruto for so long, I never really understood Naruto's feelings of "love" for Sakura. It felt like, "I guess he just likes her face?" But then you get shit like him not understanding "this interest in women" and thinking that Sakura actually looks plain.

The idea that Naruto's feelings for Sakura were nothing more than a byproduct of his rivalry with Sasuke was alluded to from the very beginning. The fact that he doesn't feel any heartache about her trying to kiss "Sasuke" instead of him makes the later revelation about his rivalry click perfectly.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

>>285767677
Naruto is a retarded prick, and naruhina is shit. Hinata loved and respected Naruto from the start, so he should like her back if acknowledgement is what he wanted. Instead he insulted her in his head for being plain and shy right in her introduction scene, then mostly ignored her. He didn't value the people who actually liked him and cared about him, he only cared about winning over other insufferable asshats as some masochistic ego trip.

I mean, Yahagi was right. Naruto's western fanbase is filled with neanderthals and too fucking dumb to understand nuance in jap comics for teens.

>Post something more about Naruto Uzumaki.
He puts out a fake bravado as a pretense to cover his insecurity over his constant failure and that he knows how much of a screwup he is. He's actually well-aware that he seems like a annoying clown to other people, but of course Kishi focused in muh Sasuke.

>Instead he insulted her in his head for being plain and shy right in her introduction scene
Naruto never actually gives Hinata the cold shoulder in the manga. Not at all. Even his very first inner monologue that you point out is actually pretty mild compared to his other peers and Mr. Sauce boy being "I hate this guy more than anymore!!!". And even when he thinks, "You have seriously zero presence...", he follows it up by thinking "I'm so glad Hinata is the one sitting next to me..." and how she isn't the type to pull a shitty trap on him during the writing test. He genuinely believes she isn't the kind of girl who would set him up, and when you consider how Naruto was treated by the village back then, I actually think this shows he viewed Hinata quite favorably even at that point.

>>285768289
She's shy but she was always nice to him. She risked flunking the chuunin exams to help him, but he didn't seem to care much until her speech about how awesome and inspiring she finds him. Hinata's kindness is probably not what Naruto meant by acknowledgement, but his obsession with acknowledgement was retarded to begin with. We are meant to feel bad for him because he was shunned by the villagers, but it's not like he was lonely and wanted real friends. No, it's some narcissistic crap where he would rather convert villains and mean girls into his followers.

>Was there a moment when Naruto acted this insecure with Sakura, and it didn't involve sasuke?
Nope, the only person Naruto spoke to openly about his insecurity is Hinata and this was very purposeful by Kishimoto, as he is too proud and boastful to talk about that with Sasuke or Sakura, but with Hinata he feels comfortable enough to have this type of conversation with her. The only character that might've gotten Naruto to open up about his insecurities himself is Iruka, and even then the dynamic would've been a student relaying his worries to a teacher rather than an equal.

Meanwhile, he just does not feel comfortable or safe revealing what he's really thinking about/showing vulnerability to characters like Sakura or Sai. See chapter 311, where he's shown concerned about Sauce and then suddenly makes up some shitty excuse about a date, changing his entire body language. This is how visual language and narrative work; it doesn't have to be overt or explicit, but the meaning can still be gleaned if we only look at it with a keen eye and a critical mind.

Just funny how every ship in Naruto is so shallow, fans(shiptards) are required to add depth and complexity themselves to make it work. Fanfics, fanarts, discussions, one of the reasons why Naruto is so stable in the sea of ips

Hinata barely knew Lee (if at all) while she was Naruto's classmate for years, It obviously wouldn't be the same. Plus, only highly deluded people believe you can love more than one person romantically at a time.

>>285769131
None of this stuff is deep though, in fact, it's so blatantly in your face (especially the pages where you see Naruto's interactions with Hinata vs other girls) that the fact some of you still manage to miss them makes it extremely embarrassing to share a fanbase with you.

>>285769865
>Hinata barely knew Lee (if at all) while she was Naruto's classmate for years
Kishi even has her taken out of the Chuunin Exams before Lee's fight. Plus people didn't publicly put him down like they did with Nardo; he just didn't have the skill for ninjutsu. Hinata just happened to be the only girl Naruto's age to see past the surface level from the start and recognize what made him special, due to her own upbringing making her desire to have the confidence and courage he did.

Quads checked. To add to what you said, it wasn't just that Naruto was a "proud failure" which attracted Hinata, but the fact that Naruto was so visibly outspoken about it, which in turn inspired her. Lee wouldn't have the personality to do that on his own naturally, that would only be something he'd do after Guy took him under his wing. These people are illiterate, or their bias is seriously clouding their capacita to understand what the manga says, both through dialogue or the character's actions.

Why Naruto said to minato that Sakura is his gf after witnessing Hinata's confession and death.

>>285770113
Because he was joking. He's dense and he wouldn't actually know what couples do, but he at least understood him and Sakura weren't together and that she liked soomene else.

>>285769865
Except Naruto is not a proud failure. He's a highly gifted kid who constantly cries, bitches, moans, and causes all sorts of trouble because he's too fucking retarded and lazy to train or do anything productive. Moreover he treats Hinata like air, mostly, and he disappeared from the village for 3 years to chase Sasuke's gay ass just as she was entering puberty. There's nothing inspiring about him, and Hinata has no reason to like him. Her crush is as shallow and poorly written as Naruto's and Sakura's. In fact, it's probably similar to Sakura's crush on Sasuke in the sense that Naruto is a dollar store version of a mysterious brooding badboy with the dark past and hidden heart of gold (forma de yankee) unlike Lee who is a hard-working, good kid (but really lame-looking.) Hinata is lame too, so that's probably why she settled for the class clown. Sasuke was just way too out of her league.

Next time try to read it instead of proving Yahagi right.

Read what? The manga? The thread? Not worth it, in either case.

>>285767677
Naruto's feelings for Sakura being a byproduct of his rivalry with Sasuke is a retarded plot point that makes absolutely zero sense. Almost all the girls in his class were crushing on Sasuke so why would he single out this one girl specifically to get his rivalry rocks off with? Can't even say it's because of them being on the team with her since he liked her before they were paired up.

All in all, his crush is because of her and has nothing to do with Sasuke.

You forgot that she especifically wanted Sasuke's ~acknowledgement~. That's the key point. On top of that, Nardo didn't even seem to know *why* he even liked her until that very scene in chapter 3, so it's quite fair to say the nature of his feelings were quite fucked and shallow to begin with.

>>285771762
>Naruto's feelings for Sakura being a byproduct of his rivalry with Sasuke is a retarded plot point that makes absolutely zero sense.
You can bitch and moan about that as much as you like, but in the end that's exactly what the manga portrayed. Naruto had an extremely shallow crush on Sakura that barely ever mattered or had any impact on his character arc, while almost all of his scenes with Hinata either introduced a new facet of Naruto's character (like the proud failure speech), or served to make either or both of them grow as characters.

>>285771898
That doesn't matter. If you wanna get specific, that acknowledgement thing was mentioned after they teamed up and I can imagine every girl in class getting wet for his acknowledgement too. Point is, since his crush began long before they teamed up, it has nothing to do with Sasuke.

>>285771901
Sure, call it shallow I don't care. But it was still him crushing on her because of her and not because of some rivalry with another guy.

Dunno why you brought Hinata up but his ship with her is just as shallow considering he never even considered her as a romantic interest. Not once did he show any affection towards her. Hell, he completely ignored her confession and didn't even check up on her after she nearly died. If we're talking about what manga portrayed, then we can say he never wanted Hinata at all. He saw her as a friend, even a sister maybe, but she wasn't the girl who he ever loved.

That's not what the manga said but whatever floats your boat. It doesn't matter anyway, Naruto never loved Sakura.

>Dunno why you brought Hinata up but his ship with her is just as shallow considering he never even considered her as a romantic interest.
That's actually not true since chapter 700 happened in the manga, and The Last is part of the canon. But setting that aside, just because Naruto hadn't corresponded Hinata's feelings doesn't mean their relationship wasn't a lot less shallow than the one he had with Sakura.

>Not once did he show any affection towards her. Hell, he completely ignored her confession and didn't even check up on her after she nearly died.
Neither of these are true, btw.

>If we're talking about what manga portrayed, then we can say he never wanted Hinata at all. He saw her as a friend, even a sister maybe, but she wasn't the girl who he ever loved.
Again, chapter 700 is part of the manga, and they're already married.

Good evening, Naruto kings.I love Naruto. If it weren't for disapproving of the sequel series (the story itself, the approach, etc) and frustration with the highs and lows of the ending war arc, Naruto would probably be my favorite shonen series. I have to put Dragon Ball (I actually dislike early DB though, it really isn't good), YYH and HXH over it for though. They have less lows and Super is a much better sequel series than Boruto. Naruto is EASILY the best protagonist of the landmark shonen action/adenture franchises out there.

How the fuck you can possibly say this in the same post that you mentioned Yu Yu Hakushō is beyond me. Kishimoto wishes his characters could be half as well-written and genre defining as Togashi's. Yusuke's character writing mogs in a single chapter what Kishimoto achieved with Naruto as a protagonist in 700 of them.

Biggest sign SP is shit is they're not even pretending to try to make Boruto a priority atp. Whatever your opinions on it, it's clearly the most important continuation of the original series rn, and until it's complete, there's not gonna be either another series length property. Even novel adaptations and the like will be somewhat secondary, like the Sasuke arc that got thrown in before the Code Arc at the end of NNG.

SP needs to prioritize actually getting the ball rolling and making full length adaptations (and filler arcs that are actually storyboarded and worthwhile, instead of shit like the Sea War that were truly some of the worst, most inconsequential things I've seen).

tbf I do think they are essentially a couple, and The Last kinda effectively described it by making Naru have to literally be told that there's a difference in love between loving an objective and loving a person. Naruto is so canonically retarded that he had to be told that, and so he's just gonna run with the idea that love must be between a man and woman, and so he will never have to question his clear romantic love for sauce. He can just live out his life being in love with two people in different ways and pretty much can have each in the way he wants

He's a lucky guy

Where did manga explicitly state otherwise lol. You're making up shit in your head off a few vague sentences that never confirmed what you say. It's imaginary and it makes no sense and the manga certainly never proves it.

Chapter 700 and muh last literally don't count. The former is the ending getting criticised and the latter is, quite literally, not a manga. And a solid crap is better than the runs but they're both still shit.

>Neither of these are true, btw.
Absolutely delusional. He comes back from fighting pain after seeing Hinata confess and die and doesn't even look at her, or acknowledge her for how many chapters after. You're either lying or headcannoning so hard in your head that you made yourself believe it.

And again, chapter 700 is the thing being criticised here. It's the ending of a story built up by all the chapters that came before it and it has to make sense to be a good ending. The dogshit naruhina ship was built up by 699 chapters of him crushing on another girl while completely ignoring Hinata's existence for the vast majority of time.

I found this entire sequel or arc pointless, just to give Boruto a reason to disappear and train. they could easily prove this stuff wrong and give everyone an existential crisis as they see undeniable proof that Boruto is in fact Naruto's son despite their memories. but IMO there's just so much shit going on. Otsutsuki, mutant trees, cyborgs, code, Living clones that can see the future, spontaneous 9-tails revival, but oh yeah, dont forget! Everyone's memories are scrambled! Like did he really lose everything? or just lose access to them?

What does that even mean? In context of Naruto and in general. How is it different from being liked/respected? Did Sakura even want to be respected by Sasuke? Because it looked more like she just wanted his last name, eventually, and in the short term she just wanted him to rearrange her guts.

I'm half convinced it's another stupid buzzword that means nothing. Like Sauce's goal to "restore" his clan which used to cause endless arguments about whether he's straight and wants to have 100 babies with Sakura/Karin/random whores, or it's symbolic and he wants to restore his clan's honor or something and also fuck Naruto's ass probably.
