I think we should also point out this. That when Naruto was in a "no way he's going to win" battle against Neji. Ino has to remind Sakura to stop being a bitch and cheer for her teammate. The guy next to Sakura looks fucking disgusted by her, and the guy behind ino is probably pissed that ino doesn't move her head a little more so he doesn't have to see Sakura's face.

The funny thing is that the problem Kishi had with the series is that he didn't have HunterxHunter to copy from after a point. I like Naruto and am not a fan of HunterxHunter, though it's easy to see what was lifted from HunterxHunter. The thing is that Kishi was able to reimagine those arcs and characters far better. When he ran out of a template to work from though he really began to shit the bed. The real downfall of the series though in my view was still the pain arc in the anime. The manga was fine till Pain brought everyone back to life, and Kishi killed of Konan for no real reason, despite him taking a strong no death stance. I think it had something to do with the earthquake at the time. A lot of mangaka were changing how they did things. It's also when HSOTD stopped due to all the depressing shit and death in Japan. Studio's I think wanted more escapism rather than being reminded of the death around them. I think that may have also been the trigger for Isekai to become popular. It's like dead people just go to another world and get harems and demon lords to kill, it's fine!

He could have actually written any thing and it would have been better than the asspull he had. Oh lets have Ino use her mind jutsu on Sakura to win. Jk Sakura has an inner Sakura that we will never explain and can overpower Ino's jutsu.

Real story it was Elves tricked by the dwarf in the flask leading to Asta becoming King of the Hokage.

context was they ask Naruto what personality he likes better. If he says quiet types it sides with Hinata, and if he says confident types he sides with Ino and Sakura. If you side with Hinata then you have to fight ino and sakura, and vise versa. I miss the fanfic dating sim filler aspect of naruto games.

I mean you can run out of time as well in the other games. It's just that if you hit end turn before the timer runs out then you're good and the timer resets when it's your turn again. IRL though the timer was 40mins. In online though you get like 5mins a turn which is insane. You don't know how to play your deck if you're taking 5mins on a turn. The problem was more that the game became more convoluted in Yugioh. Pendulum rules really fucked things over. Like I said syncro took a lot of the older strats out of the game and kinda pissed on fun decks forcing more streamlined games to get stronger monsters on the field faster. Though it was still a manageable system. Pendulum was this weird set where you'd have to set pendulum monsters on parts of the field, then you could pretty much search and summon full benches of weak monsters. In turn you'd use those as either syncro or tribute summons for stronger monsters, which involves searching your deck. Many of the summoned monsters have effects to search your deck, the chance to play spell cards to search your deck etc. It just stopped being fun when everyone accepted that as the format. I miss the days of being able to play some face down cards and just end the damn turn. Magic sounds better in some regards. I might pick the game up on steam sometime to test it out. I kinda know the basics, but never really got into magic. Friends were into it, but they're too damn meta to have fun against when you don't have anything that can compete. I remember making a stall burn/mill deck to just try and learn some when playing against them. Down side is they're not fun to play against and aren't fun to play as when you're still greatly disadvantaged.

I can't remember if they talked in the forest of death, but overall there was nothing meaningful ever said.

There was an episode where Sakura had no friends (ha). Then Ino became her friend and gave her, her hair ribbon. Then later ino tells Sakura that she like Sasuke. Sakura freaks out because she likes Sasuke and throws away the gift Ino gave her. Ino gives her back and tells her it was a gift and they're friends. Sakura then declares Ino her rival and she won't lose sasuke to her. Pretty much Sakura is a fucking garbage pile of a human the more backstory they try to give to her, and makes Ino look even better by comparison. If the series had been changed and had Ino train under Tsunade it would have just been a far better character than Sakura, as it would be not only her jutsu but also super strength.

I'd like to think that Garra was psyched when he heard about Temari dating someone from the leaf, and probably thought it was Naruto. As she'd have to thank him somehow for saving their family. Then throws this extravagant wedding party put on by his whole village, only to find out that it's shikamaru which slightly kills him a little more inside. He's still going to call naruto oniichan though; but it's not the same!

The grading of potential foster oneesans probably goes Sasuke's mom, Natsu, Anko, Shizune in that order. Anko beats out Shizune just because Shizune has to watch a pig and Tsunade. Her life is hard enough without needing to take care of Naruto.

As you can see here in this expertly crafted image, it would have worked out for the best.

I'm going to stand by what I thought years back when I saw the first episode. This would have been the best team. First characters shown everyone is pissed looking like delinquents. Also having Asuma for a sensei and learning team work and shit. Ino could use her mind jutsu on Naruto when he's going wild and get to see the demon fox inside of him, and help him out. It would have been great. But wait what about sakura. She sucks and can go hang out with ten ten and the other jobbers. But what about Sasuke, Naruto needs his rival Sasuke! This is where the better part would come in. Instead of dumped in a room with some ramen by the 3rd hokage. He'd get adopted by Sasuke's mom. Isn't like Sasuke and Naruto's moms weren't friends. Then Sasuke and Naruto would be raised as actual brothers. Except Sasuke would have sibling rivalry and know that Naruto isn't his real brother. This could be made more apparent by Sasuke's dad being nicer to naruto. Unknown to Sasuke it would be because he plans to use the 9 tails to help in his plan to take over the village. This triggers Itachi to tattle, and have to kill everyone except Naruto and Sasuke.

I wonder how Inojin feels that his mom was the hokage's urinal and keeps photos like this.

I really don't know what Kishi had planned for ino. Like lets make a better version of Sakura, but never use her other than filler which usually ends up being the better than the normal arcs in the series.

After a while I thought that Asta was the reincarnation of the demon lord, Nero was one of his servants, Yuno was the reincarnation of the Wizard King. The church was really a cult that worshiped the demon lord. They found both kids but thought that Yuno was the demon lord as he was more powerful and Asta was just a dud. This led to Asta being a try hard and Yuno being kina a shitter smug fuck. Skip ahead despite Asta being the demon lord he still keeps his sense of justice, while Yuno being the Wizard king is more critical and still tries to kill Asta. Also Nero would have had a minion role. Either way anime scripts are easy to write it seems.

Guess temari had better shit to do than save everyone this time. Also reminds me that she had a weasel summon

So when is Temari going to save his ass

I think she's just stupid and will stop playing her flute when he says what. She was so dumb it's cute.

No she was just feeling them fat milk sacks

It was at least back when the series would actually kill people. After the pain arc it just became painful in the lack of sacrifice things had.

Sakura has problems keeping her hands to herself.

No we need a dumb yard stick fight to show growth, even though they've already been fighting akatsuki, and just look bad now that they're having problems with people they've already beaten.
