@Impel:
Shikamaru has gotten tons more char development. And Asuma finally HAS char development.
That's because…he's dead. All characters that get true development dies.
Only exceptions so far are Kakashi and Shikamaru in Naruto Part II.

What about Neji, Choji, Gaara, Naruto, Sasuke, and almost everyone else that isn't dead?
@Impel:

I'm confused when did Neji get character development in part 2? You mean that fight against his double we never even saw?
What about Chouji? He's just standing back with Ino and allowing Kakashi and Shikamaru to do all the work.
Gaara did get a little development even if it was only being called Kazekage.
and you gotta be kidding me Naruto and Sasuke are the same as they ever were. They practically have gotten no development.
Sakura was probably the only character with REAL development which isn't saying much because she was totally useless in part 1.
@Impel:
What about Neji, Choji, Gaara, Naruto, Sasuke, and almost everyone else that isn't dead?
Choji:near death experience when he got character development. He only survived because of the fifth/DEM.
Gaara:Same and Choji. Only survived through DEM. He should've died when he got the demon out of him.
Neji:Has he done anything worthwile in part II? In part I he did get some, he did, but after his fight with Naruto he is pretty much the same.
Naruto:Main characters never die until the end of the series!!!!! Plus his development was constantly saying I"m gonna be Hokage to I'm gonna save ya Sasuke!
Sasuke:He just looks for power. That's about it.
Oh and Neji's development in the chuunin exam was because he's one of those bad guy's who quickly become the main character's bitch after the main character beats the crap out of them… Which is a shame because Neji was awesome as a bad guy. Shame it happened with Gaara as well and it'll happen with Sasuke too.
Let's name those without character development.
Sakura, Ino, Shino, Kiba, Hinata, Kankuro, Kurenai, The Fifth's assistantforgot name just to name a couple.
edit:forgot tenten. That's how underdeveloped she is.
Yeah, Tenten has zero char development. Same for Kurenai too, pretty much. At least, none in non-fillers
It's quite a shame cause nearly every single side-character seems more interesting then the main characters. Even Tenten peaked my interest with that knives-explosive thing she used against Kisame.
I think you mean "piqued", AnimeNewtype.
But wow, Tenten more interesting than the main characters? I know most people think they're dull but… wow.
Sakura had development in part 2. Well, at least showed how she developed. ;)
Neiji turn made sense because he wasnt really a bad guy. His turn happend after he knew the truth about his father. He was bitter. Naruto helped somewhat but it was mostly Hiashi.

Her voice actress is outrageously loveable.

Yea, that's the word. I knew I spelled it wrong.
But yea, Tenten has so much potential with her intersting use of weapons, she could have a bloodline where she can control every aspect of her weapons from their size to their ability. But of course the DBZ-fanatic that Kishimoto is, he just creates these awesome characters to fill up space then basically ignores them for the main characters and apparently Shikamaru.

Too bad that Tenten's abilities involve weapons.
And the rule of weapon users is that they never EVER land a hit because its either no hit or death.
Oh I don't know about that, in my personal manga I've created some characters who are solely long-range weapon users and they kick ass.
That's why I like Tenten so much, her weapons give her a distinct edge over others who rely on fancy jutsus. I mean, in this manga Kishimoto already created one way long-range users have a distinct advantage, Tags. By creating different kinds of tags, she can become like Usopp and have a variety of different kunai attacks. Freezing tag, Flame Tag, Electric Tag, and of course the exploding tag, or exploding tag mixed in with poison gas.
Kishimoto can even rip of Usopp a little, and create a kunai or shuriken string where she swings the string and have all the weapons fly towards the enemy at once.
Kishimoto can even rip off Rumiko Takahashi-sama's Ranma 1/2 and have her develop a style of keeping several weapons in her long sleeves like Mousse and bring out several weapons without the use of scrolls. As for a reason as to how she did this, maybe the sleeves can have some kind of seals on it that make it a portable scroll carrier.
See, and this I just thought up on the spot…....... and shall be using in my own manga.
Hoy crap, I just made myself fall in love with Tenten even more.
Sadly, you shouldn't hype up the character with 0% character development ever. Why couldn't Tenten be better knowN? WHY?

Actually my characters in my own personal manga are more hand to hand fighters or use melee weapons for short range fights but there are long range fighters as well. To be honest I've been trying hard to put in a wide variety in there.
Anyways I agree with what you say though.
@ultimateclima:

Being a Ten-tard myself (well OK, not too much since they haven't used her, but I do like her), I think that giving focus and assistance to her would take away from the "magical ninja" thing Kishimoto goes along. If they use a ninja that has weapons that's not one of his leads, it would make them look less impressive. Besides, even seeing her in a sniping mission would make the series look too easy because then they would be like…um, more normal ninja.

All you need is a stand in for Yamato and you got the pic perfectly.
And as for the remainder of the spoiler…yeah. Apparantly Team 10 can't win without Naruto and Team 7 showing up...there goes the neighborhood.
meh, I thought the last image was pretty badass. But now, Chouji and Ino will do absolutely nothing. Time to unveal the new Windsengan.
Are you serious that team 7 shows up? Dang, and Naruto was doing well too, but since the new year's coming up he wanted to show Uzumaki Naruto again…
they haven't shown up yet but Naruto is done 'that' attack so….yeah
Team 7 comes back? Damn.
Well, maybe Naruto will f' up his new jutsu, Kakuzu and Hidan see an opportunity, capture Naruto, and bring him to big boss man. Then team 8 and Gai's team show up, Naruto gets killed anyway, and Lee becomes the main character.
If only…
Enough of my hopeless daydreaming. I just hope Naruto's new jutsu is at least somewhat interesting.
They would definitly not do that.
Lee the main character? He's even more useless than Naruto. There's not around alchohol around to keep the series entertaining if Lee is the main char
and of course Naruto showed up. It's either that or Kakashi dies. And i sure would hate the latter.
and lol to bad the real color spread is not as cool as BF's :/
Am I the only one who became kind of bored with Lee? Maybe he needs to do something again, but…
I dont have a problem with team 7 showing up.
Kakashi is at his limit. I am interested to see team 7 fight. Kazu is going to have deja vu because he is about to fight a shodai clone.
Naruto will show some "skill" without using the Kyuubi.

Lee was part of the last truly brilliant moment of Naruto when he fought Kimimaro or whatever his name was, the bone dude pretty boy. He's an interesting character, but it's certainly not his role to save the day.
the water spiral technique sounds like a water version of what naruto was trying to accomplish.
and for fuck's sake whenever you post a script/summary or something put it in spoiler tags. <_<
@Impel:

I'm quite aware. I was merely jesting.
Yeah! Choji does something!
Well, after reading that summary, perhaps it won't be so bad. Oh, and BF, that "colorspread" rocks.
Nooo…here comes Naruto to tard up the Akatsuki fight. >.<;
Nooo…here comes Naruto to tard up the Akatsuki fight. >.<;
Goodbye then Terek. I'll let you know when there's another batch of Narutoless chapters
And to be honest i think Sakura will be doing the "tarding up":ninja:
About Lee, I think he will die before the series is over because he will open the 8th gate to beat an Akatsuki or something.
Kakashi group (Yamato, Naruto, Sakura, Sai) arrives
Nice one Kishimoto, way to ruin your best fight in ages!
It's annoying how almost every fight in Naruto needs to have a "character making a surprise entrance and saving another character ass". Yeah, it's a shonen thing, but Kishimoto overdoes it.
@Impel:

If Lee dies i won't read Naruto anymore
Sucks that just when Shikamaru's team were getting some spotlight, they get pushed aside again for the Lame Brigade.
I'm actually kinda glad to see Sai back, because it means that he's actually going to fight for real. As much as I hate Sai's character, his fighting style is pretty cool.
Actually it was more like Shikamaru who was getting spotlight (what a shocker there….), Ino and Chouji are basically the same as before, background characters who do one thing then basically become likes trees or bushes that narrate what's going or have bubble text that go like "?!?!".
Can someone please explain to me what was the point of this 3-year jump? I mean basically all Kishimoto did was make nearly all the characters uglier and put them in new clothing. Gaara was by far the biggest disappointment, he didn't even do his patented "I'm crazy and gonna kill ya bitch" grin when he had mouth-hand girl, boy whatever it is in his sand cluthes.
Team 8 on the other hand looks fantastic, those three were the only new character designs I really like. Actually Ino too, hair covering half the face is always sexy. :wub::wub::wub:
I don't mean to belittle every single aspect of this manga....... actually I do, but I keep thinking of this two-age color spread where he had the young and old Naruto side-by-side to show that there was a height difference and all I could think about is, Damn...... this character is ass ugly. Aren't characters suppose to get slimmer as they progress, it looks like everyones been hit with the plump cheek and round chin disease.
I'll hold most of my judgements until I see Naruto in action. I'm praying Kishi doesn't fuck it up but I expect the worst. C'mon Kishi, I know u can when you apply yourself.
I'm guessing Team 7 will show up to save Team 10 eventually. That'll probably include Sai too, although he's busy studing "behavior"
Despite my complaints of the art and lack of character development, I'm actually looking forward to Team 7.
Mainly cause of Sai despite his personality, his powers are really, really cool. If it wasn't for those testicles comments and the fact that he's easily manipulated (at least to Naruto), I'd say he was a refreshing new pace to Team 7.
And if the Ransengan is a tornado one, then I'd gladly accept it.
Wow, the next chapter had better come fast, before we realize how little char development the series has.
It's times like this that make you wonder why they even bother with 3 men cell teams. I'd like to see Ino, Chouji, and Shikamaru doing team attacks instead of Shikamaru pwning everyone while Ino and Chouji stand off to the side and do nothing. I mean that's worse than when Sakura did that in part 1 since Ino and Chouji are actually capable of doing something.
A few combination moves here and there would be nice. Hopefully Naruto and Yamato won't be the only one's doing them.
I still cant do spoiler tags for the life of me.
How does it go?
I wouldn't say the fight is f'd up. It should still be a good fight and I am interested to see how team 7 fights now. I hope they split up and somebody go help shika, maybe Sai and Sakura.
This shouldnt be a suprise because we knew team 7 was coming. Because Shika ask for back up and Tsuande told Sakura to get ready. This shouldnt be a suprise to anybody. Don't bash the fight before you even see it.
Naruto is capable of some good fights when there is no Kyuubi involved. We all know yamato will spam jutsus galore and Sai would be his sneaky self. I have no idea what Sakura is going to do besides heal and punch.

However, this is the first time where Naruto HASN'T used Kyuubi in a fight so we'll just have to see what happens. As long as he suddenly doesn't go five tails then we'll see how Naruto can do without Kyuubi's help.
The easiest way to make Naruto's fight decent is for him to NOT SPAM any of his attacks. Simple. If Kishi can do that, he shouldn't have too many problems with this fight.
Can we stop calling Ino and Chouji useless? Well at least Chouji, The spoiler says he did a Baka no jutsu to get KAzu off of Kakashi.
Ino is a support ninja. She is good at spying and medical jutsu. She is what she is. Everybody cant be main fighters.
How do we even know Team 7 is the back-up? What if Shino, Kiba, and Hinata come out for support? Actually, that would be cool because we don't know any of their new moves.
Is the new chapter out yet?
