Maybe I should try this.
Prequel: (chapter 0) The author's eye obsession/plot-device thing.
Hi, there welcome to the world of naruto. Without further ado, let us introduce to you the currency of ninjas, Sharingans.
<sharingans casts="" genjustus="">Hi, there. As you can see we are some kind of magic eyeball power. We have enslaved the entire population of ninjas and we are valued above uhh, well gold doesn't exist here anyways. Even the author loves us. Btw, did you notice you have fallen under my spell? Just as planned.:ninja: Don't worry this is your first time, so we'll let you off the hook. But next time you stare at us we will take over the world! Got it? So anyways, where were we? Oh yes, We are so valuable, we are used as currency. So valuable that we are worth 10 Byakugans each. There's a rumor of an eye even more valuable of us, but let's not talk about that shall we? Anyways, backstory time.
There once was an Uchiha Clan. The eyes of that clan were so desirable, there were like diamonds. Over time, the eyes were farmed, mined and driven to extinction, until at last, only one small population remained. During the night, a single person murdered the whole clan! The greed of that person was unrivaled. Soon he was driven out of the village, though rumors say that he was poor. No one believed him. Only a few people survived. Without the eyes, soon the village became poor.
Some decades later, in the world of Naruto, a young kid called Naruto begins his final training exam…
/END chapter 0
Eyes everywhere :ninja:
It's not just Naruto that seems to be ripping off Final Fantasy. That 1page spread of Ginjo like 20 Bleach chapters ago looks like Leon/Squall Leonheart.
There's a colour version of this somewhere, and it looks exactly like Leon. http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/432/17</sharingans>
