Oh yeah, I forgot about Sarutobi vs. Orochimaru. That was another good one.
And Jiraiya and Tsunade vs. Orochimaru. That was good too.

Sarutobi vs. Orochimaru
Jiraiya/Tsunade vs. Orochimaru

don't make me want to watch naruto fights again! i've spent too much time on that already.
what i like in naruto vs neiji is the "you seem pretty confident in close combat" line which is awesome.
New chapter, eh? I'll get around to reading that sometime.
Favorite fights!
1. Lee vs Gaara
2. Lee vs Kimimaro
3. Shino vs Kankuro
4. Temari vs Shikamaru
5. Choji vs Jirobo
You know what? Hinata really needs to get a fight, Tenten needs to get an actually drawn fight, and Shino desperately needs another fight. Come on, where was Shino during the whole Sasuke runs away to be emo arc? He should have fought the spider guy. We miss you Shino!
I actually liked most of the Naruto fights, with the notable exceptions of Naruto vs Sasuke (interrupted by the embarassing Sasuke flashback to boot) and Sakura and Grandma vs Whatshisface during part 2.
Gaara vs Lee, Naruto vs Gaara, Lee and Gaara vs Kimimaro, Shino vs Kankuro are all great fights.
Kishimoto is great at drawing fights, you have to give him that.
Kishi and Oda should do a manga together after they are finished with their own. Naruto style fights with One Piece style storylines is like the best combination u could ever have.
Sure Naruto's fights are its best part but still when compared to other manga (HxH OP, FoR, JJBA) the fights don't stack up at least for me

Gaara and Lee was like, the series' selling point at one time. A lot of these, though…I don't remember Naruto and Gaara, or even the character of Shino.

Forgetting Kimimaro, Kankuro, and even Shino are understandable, but the Naruto v. Gaara fight? Not only was that the second-to-last time we saw Gamabunta in battle, it was the first and only time we saw the Kyuubi in broad daylight, and in combat against Shukaku no less.
I remember it happened, but besides knowing there were big monsters, I don't think it was very memorable.
Technically it was just a henge of Naruto and Gabamunta but you're right.
Lee vs. Gaara is still the fight people use to get others into naruto, too bad nothing's been that good ain awhile. Naruto vs. Sasuke was basically Chouji vs. that sound guy only longer. It was one powerup after another with annoying flashbacks in the middle.

That's exactly how I feel. Other than the awesomeness of Gamabunta the fight wasn't very memorable.

You gotta love Lee vs Kimimaro just for the use of drunken fist. That was awesome. And Gaara showing up and unleashing monster attacks was good too.
Kimimaro was one nasty (but cool) villain. Wish he hadn't died so fast but then again, he was short & sweet. Drunk Lee and new outfit Gaara were badass as well.
Lee v Gaara was incredible. And of course Lee/Gaara v Kimi was funny and pretty awesome at the same time.
Team 7 v Zabuza was pretty good too.

Yeah it would've been good if he managed to stay around. I think Kimimaro had to die, since even when he was sick as hell, he was basically one step from taking out Gaara. Just think how it would've been if he was in normal health.
Kishi and Oda should do a manga together after they are finished with their own. Naruto style fights with One Piece style storylines is like the best combination u could ever have.
That's a good idea. I'd like it even more if Kishi and Kubo Tite(Bleach) worked together on the fights. IMO, KT is better at designing fights and Kishi is better at adding substance and strategy to them(most of the time).
Lee vs. Garra is definetly the best of all the fights IMO. I liked the middle parts of the Naruto vs. Sasuke fight, after the annoying flashbacks but before the powerups went way overboard, especially when Naruto went on a crazy punch combo on Sasuke. Lee vs. Kimi was also great, as were few others I don't care to mention. Besically, I'm most interested in Naruto when Lee is involved somehow.
So anybody knows when the Naruto filler hell's going to end? Is it after that 90 minute special, or do they plan to drag another season of nonsense? Why can't they just doing it like One Piece and make an episode every 2-3 weeks or so…
Cause Studio Pierrot knows no bounds.
I'm just really surprised that Naruto hasn't died in filler hell like Rurouni Kenshin yet.
Everytime someone asks when its going to end they add 1 more episode
When are the fillers going to end?
It's not going to end until the end of the year I think!!!
I gave up on the anime a long time ago, but now I am thinking of giving up the manga depending on the next few chapters!
But the best fights for me so far was Kimimaro VS Lee/Gaara!!! That fight rocked!!
..Is the filler still going?
Yes. Yes it is continuing.

Yeah, I guess the show is huge. I mean, I can't begin to understand how people could stand for that. With something like 80 chapters of material waiting.
Hmm, I had heard from somebody that the fillers end at 200. Was that wrong then?
Yeah. That's wrong.
Not all of the fillers are that bad really. For example, the Raiga arc is one of my favorites in the whole series, including canon stuff. But yeah, we need to get away from all these damn fillers. There's a lot to work with Pierrot, step on it!
Yeah, the fillers with Lee in em are pretty good. The one where he and Gai both open the gates was pretty intense (I even got a little teary eyed), even if it started out super lame. The one with Afro Gai was hilarious too.
someone liked the Curry of Life….................0.o
Something I can never understand is why people bash the fillers. I mean, look at the alternative; we go into Naruto II with,
1. 30% chakra
2. Biiig Rasengan
3. Naruto Pervert
4. Sakura & Chiyo v. Sasori
5. Deidara in THE NEXT DIMENSION
6. Emo/wangst
7. Sai, the nin with "no emotions"
8. The worthless Naruto v. Orochimaru ("hernia fight")
9. Sakura acting useless again
10. Still no Chouji/Shino/Kiba/Hinata/Ino/Shikamaru/Lee/Neiji/Tenten
11. Sasuke the gay pirate ninja
And above all, Kishimoto wants to put romance into this series. The fudge? With all this angst floating around? At least the fillers are light-hearted and we see a shuffle of the "minor" characters, not to mention ninja doing missions (which was the point of the series and seems to have been forgotten).

Well, honestly, these were just the problems to me. Sai could stand to not talk about penis so much, though.

I have absolutely no idea what is going on in the manga right now, but from occasional readings I can infer this:
1. After failing to "bring back my Sasuke", Naruto goes emo.
2. Kakashi goes, "hey Naruto, wuts goin' on? Need sum trains?"
3. Some wind alignment stuff, Naruto adds "wind" to Rasengan.
4. Kakashi can do Rasengan as well, thus further diminishing Naruto's achievement in mastering it since Chidori isn't an imitation, it's an improvement.
5. Yamato goes "omgwtfbbq" with Naruto's "1337 Kage Bushin training orgy".
6. Tsunade goes, "let's infiltrate Akatsuki (again)".
7. Some two-tailed beast girl gets captured by two new Akatsuki.
8. A bunch of chuunin go to intercept them.
9. Asuma reveals he is Sandaime Hokage's son.
10. Kurenai feels bad because Asuma is probably going to die.
11. Deidara and Obit…I mean, Tobi, battle the three-tail and win.
12. The chuunin battle the two new Akatsuki guys from earlier.
13. Blight/Skeletor makes a cameo.
"amirite"?
Hidan's "Skeletor" form didn't annoy me as much as I thought. He doesn't look that bad.
And I suppose this week's chapter is passable. Shikamaru is just that damn badass when it comes to brains, after all.
Well, honestly, these were just the problems to me. Sai could stand to not talk about penis so much, though.
Yeah, I'm kinda surprised with the Sai hate personnaly. Even if the penis talk was slightly too homosexual for my taste, I think he's a funny character. The way he calmly lay verbal assaults on Sakura and Naruto and his words about Sasuke (he spoke for the readers here) were amusing.
Sai has worth as a character. I'm just pissed off at how deus ex machina his change of heart was.

That's why I specifically mentioned the "emotionless" issue (though I forgot the "dick discussions"); it's already an exhausted concept from Rurouni Kenshin (through Soujiro Seta), which only further brought in a more negative atmosphere for this already extremely dark segment of the series. Sai's jutsu and insults were excellent, but the emotionless issue was an inferior version of Watsuki's work and I couldn't take reading about it.
I don't really like Sai. What kind of ninja wears a belly shirt?
The same kind that wears orange pajamas and pink cyclist pants.
At least he wears black.
I actually think Sai is okay and that Sojiro was very lame.

Choji/shino/Kiba/Hinata/Shikamaru/Lee/Neji/Ten Ten have all made appereances….
And I liked itachi vs kakashi and gai vs kisame. I thought that was the best part of part 2 so far. Yes the "we only used 30% of our power" was cheesy, but I can't complain since that was a very entertaining fight.
Terek speaks of them not doing anything as of yet (except Shikamaru).
I personally liked Sojiro very much as a character with the indepth flashback of his. Sai's just… yeah....
I think I've noticed that somehow people just want to watch Naruto regardless of canon or filler. It still somehow rakes in ratings in Japan (well its always one of the top websites on TV-Tokyo's site) and, whether or not the show is good (some say the fillers suck, others believe it actually shows more of a "ninja mission" mentality that Kishimoto has forgotten about), they are probably going to milk it for all its worth back at Pierrot. (heck, a zillion fillers never killed Ranma when it aired and that was also Pierrot…the only Pierrot anime I've seen that practically had no filler start to finish was Yu Yu Hakusho)
Sai's fashion sense never bothered me. Probably because I read JoJo's and Houshin Engi. I actually liked his design.
Now that I think about it, besides babbling about penises, his contrived backstory, and how obvious it was that he was eyecandy for pining Sasuke fans, Sai wasn't that bad.
I prefer Soujirou to him still (probably cause I love every aspect of Rurouni Kenshin and always will because it's what got me into anime/manga), but Sai's not that bad from the whole perspective. I just don't like him that much because of the qualities Carter listed.
That and his Deus Ex Machina character development.
And that he's basically faded from existence when Sasuke reappeared, slowly losing the amount of air time he's had.
And where's Zephos?
Well actually all characters disappeared once Sasuke came back. Except Naruto and his thrilling training of course, and Shikamaru for the last couple of chapters.
Shikamaru's gonna get Replacement Jutsu'd soon I bet.
