I think this war arc is by far the worst arc in Naruto, I even liked the kage summit arc and at least the pain battle had build up so you were looking forward to the battle against him and naruto, even if everyone else did become cheerleaders
this is, this is just…. I don't know, sad
all these zombies that were around that could have given us potential for character development and to show us how they've grown and that the new generation is better then the last which was a huge part in Naruto and now seems really stupid when the kohana 11 can't compare to the older generation and the older generation can't compare to madara and the first
Rock Lee could have fought Kimmamrio and had some dialogue about how he's become stronger so he can stand beside the giants like Naruto and sasuke
Nenji could have fought his dad and had a great conversation that could have amounted to a lot (of course then again garaa's conversation with his dad is one of the worst parts of the whole series)
Sakura was said several times that she has tendency for Genjutsu and that with that and her strength she could one day become stronger then tsunade (by kakashi himself) we could have had something there
we could have had team 10 rap things up ON SCREEN!!! and the fight against the seven swordsmen would have ben nice to see
wasn't the third raikage supposed to have black lightning????
and many other things, but no kishi just needs to hurry shit up for Naruto and sasuke to save the day and have everyone else be completely useless, and anything useful they did do was off screen
it really even makes it worse after I reread Naruto part 1 because it was so great and the art was awesome (although the sussano this chapter did look pretty ill)
and I'm thoroughly convinced kishis forgot that he said third hokage was the strongest hokage in both the manga and databook
and even with all this all I wanted was rock lee to shine was that too much to ask :cwy:
