This chapter literally felt like Kishimoto was anally raping his manga and everything that was once good about it.
Naruto Thread IV
-
-
Just bought the most recent Monthly Shonen Jump, you know the ones that are about a year behind the current chapter, guess what the title said under Naruto's head? THE GREAT NINJA WAR! So after a year of hyping we finally see the beginning:
One of the countless experienced leaders in the Army- "Well, which one of us has never been in a war and has the least experience of all of us…."
Gaara- "Me!"
-Someone who is stronger and has over 50 years of combat experience of Gaara- "Great, your the General"
Fucking ridiculous, and so now the stage has been set:
Side Characters That Never Get Used vs. Old Recycled Characters That Were The Result of Kishi Being Lazy And Unoriginal and Zetsu Clones....I am so excited...
I guess Kishi's thought process must have been something like: "Shit! I just realized I killed off all the enemies I had in the story except for Saskue and Madara right after I've been hyping this war...Okay well I can just power boost them and have those two vs. the rest of the Ninja world...wait, no thats pushing it even for my fans...Okay...I'll bring back a fan-favorite...Orochimaru, yeah..but no this time I'll give him glasses...yeah..and then I'll have all of Akatsuki come back..and throw in every enemy I've shown...and how bout all the Kage's too, that will be cool...and then I'll have all those side characters fight the Zetsu Clones while Naruto Rasengans all the other enemies one after the other...throw in Sakura crying and some homo-erotic scenes between Saskue and Naruto and that's a rap...Ah, to a job well done..

Colourpage reminds me of a groupe necrolgue photo.
The table is finally set and the pieces will begin moving. And, as in an old strategy game with a sucking pathfinding system, everything is waiting to turn into a mess engulfing the whole world. Kishimoto tries to do epic and doesn't can't even reach for a tale.
The best part of the joint force strategy - guys, let's mix up all our forces and sort them out according to some vague ideas. Why have experienced teams working together when we can have our ninjas exchange experience and make new friends, right.
I liked Kiba. And that's it.
Rating: Yellow Flash Parenting Skills because I don't see it getting better.
Naruto begins to sense that something's amiss!
Rarely, but Jump editors manage to find some irony in themselves.

I realize this is a foolish thing to say, but I'm actually a little… excited about this war.
I mean, as big a copout at this really is... Zabuza?! Asuma?! And many other great characters that were killed off? If done right, we could get quite a lot of character development in this arc for those like Shikamaru who have to face these people.
And I can only assume that this is the last and final arc of the series. I just can't see what else he could do with it after launching the world war 3 of the ninja world. A lot of people had better die if this war is to be done right. As long as it's not my favorites (Shikamaru, Rock Lee, Guy, Gaara).

Oh, Guy is so freaking dead.

just thought of something that I thought you'd all hate, what if kishi pulls a claymore type thing, you know this is only a portion of the world and there just not advanced enough to know there's other continents out there, and some new enemy from another continent comes that are even more powerful

Wasn't this the plot of one of the Naruto movies.

@Cyan:

idk, I've never seen a naruto movie
-
This chapter is like that chapter of Bleach where there were a couple of spreads showing only backgrounds.

Series is supposed to be ending soon so no.
-
BTW, WTH happened to Suigetsu, Karin and Juugo. It seems Kishi totally forgot them, I almost did as well.
They seem so unnecessary to the storyline. Kishi has wasted a whole volume for their recruitment.

Why not? Death has no consequences. An old character can sacrifice themself to do a resurrection jutsu, or apparently, now, you can just get Kabuto to make a Zombie that has all the memories, emotions and personality of your previous self. Hell, madara even had the Rinnegan, so he can have a change of heart at the end of it all and do a ressurection/self sacrifice himself.
Anyone and everyone can die recklessly at this point and its no big.
Except Choji and Neji. They already had a great death, they're effectively immortal. And Hinata, I suppose, but no one cared about her death apparently, so I don't see much point in repeating it.
-
"we must avoid drawing attention to ourselves"…lol Shino.
-
The worst part is this is quite likely going to taint the memory of Zaubuza and Haku.
-
I don't know why, but when Bleach and Naruto end I'm gonna miss them for some reason.
-
Shiet so everyone who died in the manga is back? lol
I hope this war is nice.
"we must avoid drawing attention to ourselves"…lol Shino.
It was funny.
Btw was I the only one that though about the Armadillo penis when the Armadillo was facing down and the editor/Kishimoto note says something is missing?
-
So Gaara is stronger than Kakashi?:whistling:

@Thousand:

THIS. Fucking THIS.
And Sasuke polluted things with his two panels. I was enjoying not seeing him.

I agree i liked the chapter, as much as I said support characters will do something this war it was more me just hoping for that, I thought if anything the kage's and their two elite jonin they brought with them will, but this got me amped, I mean I don't expect naruto and the kages to defeat 23 wicked tough opponents by themselves, and the cover and the fact they were put into divisions gives me confidence the kohana 11 will do something this war and maybe earn themselves names by beating kage level fighters….. except ten ten she won't do shit
looking forward to rock lee going 8 gates
oh yeah who's that guy on the far right here
http://mangastream.com/read/naruto/92329668/19and shouldn't kakashi's dad the white fang be there???
-
oh no
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
…
NO
sdifjbhshdsjsfsfkYou're really resurrecting everyone with little to no consequences!?
why not just resurrect the Sage of the Six paths and be done with it?
-
I'm worried about the return of Zabuza & Haku. I mean, if I had to pick one thing that Kishi actually pulled of well in part 1, then it's how these characters played their part in the story.
Now Kishi wants to ruin one of the best moments by bringing those 2 back? That's just bad writing.
-
Don't worry guys this was just the non-canon Halloween special chapter, everything should be normal by next week.

They'll do stuff. Off camera. Maybe a panel here or there.
Against generic fodder Zetsus.
looking forward to rock lee going 8 gates
So you want Rock Lee to die.
You sick bastard.
-
I'm waiting for Kabuto to announce he's also resurrected Gold Roger.
Not even Moria has done that, and I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

You reminded me, isn't Pein in there? Couldn't he just do his revival jutsu thing again? I mean, it doesn't seem like there's a limit on the abilities of these zombies, so assuming whatever is binding them to Madara breaks..
-
Where's Danzo??? :ninja:
and….KARIN!!!!

I think most of them will get their own unique battles, some will just be fodder clean up but that's simply how it is, I doubt ten ten or kiba will shine, he hates them
@RobbyBevard:
So you want Rock Lee to die.
You sick bastard.
Please you know if he does that there'll be some stupid dues ex machina to save him, the only time I'll allow a deus ex machina to happen and be glad it did is to save an awesome character in a series that's not so awesome
-
And Sasuke polluted things with his two panels. I was enjoying not seeing him.
There's a joke about Sasuke being blind in here somewhere.
-
Wow, it is like his editors are a group of 10 year olds that suggest things that might be "cool" but not really good for the story…
editor 1: "You know what would be cool for this battle? If Kabuto brings back all of the dead Akatsuki members...."
editor 2: "Oooh great idea. He should also being back the dead hosts!"
editor 1: "Brilliant! Hmm, it would be awesome if all of the Kages came back too..."
editor 2: "Wow we're on a roll! What about bringing back... every slightly significant character who has died in the series so far?"
editor 1: "Fund it!" -
Oh god no kishi, don't ruin Zabuza and Haku, it's the only fond memory I have of this series, everything else was ruined.
btw, nice how this is probably the last big arc in naruto, and kishi doesn't even bother to introduce the rest of the swordsmen of the mist. -
With the concept of death thrown out by Kishimoto I now faithfully expect the Naruto series to end in a Evangelion styled end of the world, folllowed by Naruto and Sasuke having rough anal sex in an empty lifeless white background void, and thus creating a new world with a bonus of a perfect world order.
-
Hope you don't mind if I do the honors Wagomu.

You are definitely allowed to say what must be said!
So, what alert are we at, people? Yellow Flash Parenting Skills would probably be appropriate for the content of the chapter, since it's pretty bad, though it's not nearly as bad as some previous weeks we've had. This chapter, though, hits very terrible lows not for what it is, but for what it means. It could be a chance to creatively use often neglected side characters and villains who were given no chance, but, knowing Kishi, it just means a lot of pointless fodder deaths and Naruto doing everything useful again. Not to mention that Sasuke's going to get us into a fix when he reaches into his bag of tricks.
I hereby raise the terror level to SHARINGAN RED, unless anyone objects:

HOLY SHIT, KISHIMOTO
-
How about the Orange Naruto Asthma Attack? It is right in the middle of the list, so it would most accurately portray any movement the level of quality could take next, for better of for worse.
-
As much of a copout as this is..I have to admit..I'm fucking interested to see how this turns out..
-
^Same here. Seeing the rookies in action again hyped me up.
And still lol'ing @ the Yamato scene on the last page. Seriously Kishi.
-
Like wow..everyone is back…Kishimoto can only fuck this up by having Sasuke do some beam attack which kills half of them.
Shit that will probably happen too..
-
As much of a copout as this is..I have to admit..I'm fucking interested to see how this turns out..
agreed, him bringing back everyone is shit writing but at the same time it gives him opportunities to create many interesting fights for support characters that haven't got a lot of time in part 2, and the divisions make it interesting too we don't get too many awesome team battles in naruto and it gives me even more hope that we'll see other people fight
For once I'm interested how this will play out, and if it's at the cost of making death meaningless in naruto i still think it's worth it.
now if the war is like most people say and just naruto doing everything by himself then I'll agree this is a shit story, and that bringing everyone back to life was completely retarded and a horrible decision on their part, but if it's like I say and gives the new and of course the old support characters chances to prove themselves then I feel it's worth it
otherwise this series sucks, which of the two will it be redemption or sinking completely into a pile of shit, only time will tell
EDIT: and yammamoto knows what to do so info doesn't get out, bite your fucking tongue off commit suicide, for your comrades just like kisame, die an honorable death
-
I'd have to go with Orange Naruto Asthma Attack for this chapter, but I don't blame anyone who wants to rate it worse.
-

I'm thinking we're in for an impending code white, or at least rainbow, thanks to Kishi's track record and the impending horror of what he's setting up, so I say red until we gain further insight into Kishi's direction.
-
Why am I slightly interested in this series again. >_>
is going insane
-
Maybe a code white later, but for now this chapter is at least an Orange Naruto Asthma Attack.
Something stupid this way comes though.
-
Like wow..everyone is back…Kishimoto can only fuck this up by having Sasuke do some beam attack which kills half of them.
Fuckup better die halfway through this war.
@Wagomu:I'm thinking we're in for an impending code white, or at least rainbow, thanks to Kishi's track record and the impending horror of what he's setting up, so I say red until we gain further insight into Kishi's direction.
Eh, I'd stick with orange until we get a better idea of what's going on. We'll need some room in case it gets worse.
-
I give this chapter a green incest machine, but this could turn into a Heart White at any moment….
-
Best case scenario is this dropping to blue.
Unless we get Zabuza, Gai, Raikage, and B.B. Kage getting into a fight together, at which point going gold would be safe.
-

anything than Rainbow Peniseseseseseseses
is an underestimation.

I think like your both saying we need to see how this plays out, if it gets support characters to shine, it's much better and probably deserves green incest machine or if done really well (very doubtful) mediocre blue, but if it's all just a set up for naruto and sasuke to beat everyone themselves…. well i vote white
EDIT: Cyan you read my mind
-
Kisihimoto..you can possibly make the ending to your series a good one, don't fuck it up!
-
The terror alert has been swayed by popular opinion! Be on the lookout for terrible things to come. The horror hasn't set in yet, but it might possibly probably will. We are now at:
TERROR ALERT: ORANGE NARUTO ASTHMA ATTACK

Dewd…If this chapter's got us a tiny little bit interested, imagine how much the Narutards are foaming at the mouth. shudders
