Only when it's done by an Uchiha, otherwise genjutsu may as well not exist. Sakura seemingly never even gets to do anything about them either despite her supposed perfect chakra control that should make her capable of breaking any of them.

HardcoreHunter Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreHunter Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 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.

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.

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreHunter Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
