Shounen Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto

It's different in that it had nearly no backgrounds and was 100% talk no jutsu not ten or some percent of the chapter. That's not good, but at least it hints to the end of this annoying jutsu.

 

[Roman]

That's what annoyed me the most in the last one, that it lasted the whole chapter. I don't care about the decision Obito makes, I just want it done in the next chapter. So Madara can finally act.

 

[Prince Sasuke]

Just because the conversation between obito and Naruto were different does not make a chapter good. The convo was different but long and boring at the same time.

 

[Roman]

The point of the post was that there was something good about the chapter but you just have to want to see it. It's easy to label something as sucking because you're used to it lately.

 

[Schabrak]

But he just wrote that there is something good presented in a bad way.

edit:

No, he said different but boring. Different can also be good. Depends again on how you look at it.

Than that's his informed opinion that you should respect like any informed positive opinion.

I'm saying the conversation between Naruto and obito was different from their past coversations. With that said, the chapter was still boring. I feel like the conversation was dragged out and should not have taken up the entire chapter.

I'm really hoping that I want have to say the next chapter was boring or anything other then good.

you know PS, i am trying to be as optimistic as possible about these recent chapters

i can see what kishimoto is trying to do, it seems that he is really trying to stress naruto as being able eliminate the hatred in people

the only chance we have of this thing turning out with an epic ending would be if madara or orochimaru try to cause some destruction

madara is a bit outnumbered but i bet he can still fuck some shit up, especially if he somehow gets the juubi power

You don't get it, every week is like that, not just this one. You think I brought negativity up because of 2 complaints in the discussion? I don't care about the complaints honestly, but I do think that they affect a lot of people who may want to post but don't want to because of that reason.

You called out talks about "general suckage" and spoke about them being on the "front line". Even in the previous two chapter threads, and the current one, there's no massively negative post right where people would come in, on the front page. The worst there is are merely complaints about the actual content. And as mentioned before, there are still plenty of positive posts. That's not the reason there are fewer posters. There are fewer posters most likely because real life gets in the way, and people just don't have the time to waste. If it was merely due to "negativity", that wouldn't explain the drop in activity not only in the various sub-forums, but all across the site. All the different series have suffered a drop in activity, regardless of how well liked or disliked they have been.

There's no difference between people posting positive things or negative things every week. You can't tell people to not post negative things just because they didn't like it, it's like them telling others to not post positive things just because they think it deserved no positive praise. Anyway, Naruto section isn't like the Fairy Tail section, where people can't accept negative opinions on the manga or chapters itself, we're better than them.

 

[Roman]

If other forums were the same, I'd agree.

In attempt to liven things up away from the negativity:

Out of curiosity.....

Will Kabuto still be significant for the rest of the arc, is he going to resume following Orochimaru and is he still going to be a villain or turn over a new leaf?
a.) Orochimaru absorbed the portion of his power which happens to what helped him use Sage mode.
b.) After Izanami, he should have some sort of clarification regarding his true self, but we don't know if he has snapped out of it or not and if that makes him even more hateful or accepting about himself.
c.) By far he's still one of the most skilled medical ninja up in the ranks of Tsunade and Sakura most likely.
d.) He's been with Orochimaru a large portion of his life
e.) Not exactly sure if it's for the sake of learning things as many and as much as he could or it's genuine being by Orochimaru's side.



Considering those points (and if anyone else have more, please feel free to add more to it) he's rather mysterious about the path he's going to take.
Any ideas?

 

[M3J]

I think Kabuto might be instrumental to the war. Obviously he'll turn good, and he might help against Madara with the knowledge he has, like stripping Madara of his Mokuton powers or having a venom that disables his EMS.

 

[Rikudou King]

Anything Kabuto knew Orochimaru knows, and thus could do. So not seeing Kabuto playing any sort of role at this point, especially this late in the game.

 

[M3J]

Kabuto probably knows more than Orochimaru though at this point, given teh amount of people he has Edo Tensei'd and being able to take things further than Orochimaru since his soul was sealed.

 

[Rikudou King]

The only thing Kabuto seem to take further is mastery of Sage Mode. Not only was all his information about Madara and Akatsuki attributed to Orochimaru, but Orochimaru pretty much showed that had he wanted to, he could have brought back several powerful Edo Summons. In fact, despite what everyone believed, including Kabuto, there was a means of reviving the Hokages. So I would say that Orochimaru either knew or at the very least could easily figure out what Kabuto knew.

At the very least wouldn't Orochimaru be interested in how to acquire his sage mode?
Kabuto said it himself Orochimaru actually has desires to obtain the sage mode but his body wasn't healthy and capable since he needed a younger and new body, so wouldn't that at least be one of the things Kabuto is useful for ? I don't get why Orochimaru won't just take Kabuto's body for now before attempting to take Sasuke's, if that plan is still lingering in his thoughts.




Other than Madara, he's a dark question mark as to what he has potentials for on whichever path it's going to be and I've been wondering ever since he's been revived then doing the shinigami jutsu and vast amount of knowledge he has (after talking to the hokages).
There has to be some sort of sentiment he holds dearly towards Hiruzen and his legendary sannin partners, only way I see him being completely changed is if Jiraiya makes a reappearance (IF) or he takes Jiraiya's role in particular for Sasuke and Kabuto (mentor and student type thing) considering they have spent quite some time together already anyway. (these are all just what if's and fun thoughts people, not hoping for a Jiraiya revival and etc.)

Pronouciations are faulty but who cares, here is a little distraction.

Well, Orochimaru seems to know what's needed and what he lacks in that regard. I would think that he might see it as a hassle, since if he is still after Sasuke's body, he would still have to relearn Sage Mode once he took it. And he probably wouldn't want to spend three years in Kabuto's body. Despite clearly being capable of grafting abilities on other people (Yamato and Danzo), Orochimaru never seemed to have attempted it on himself, even though he had one of the best medicnins in his employment. So perhaps gaining powers that way isn't as "prefect" as Kabuto believed.

this is what naruto is missing

good villains

madara has potential to give us a good ending, but obito is possibly the worst villain in history
