Sometimes I can't help but bring up One Piece as a comparison since it's the only other remotely Naruto-esque series I read.

Why has to be in any series, a character who for the most part is hated?
LOL
AL. I like it tbh. I always thought piercings were pretty hot
Blue. Looks manly enough to be a woman

Just because you don't like his design doesn't mean he's probably not super powerful. He's got eyes just like Kurenai, which means he can probably do Illusion Genjutsu similar to hers. Plus, he's apparently also able to feed a percentage of another person's chakra into a person and create an illusionary clone. That, in itself, would make him a damn tough opponent. Hell, Gai had to open Six Gates to defeat the 30% version of Kisame, so you can imagine what an 80% version of Kisame would be like…
Needless to say, Hinata and her Byakugan will be needed to fight Pain.

With Naruto and Kakashi or Yamato, probably, yes.
I don't see a problem with it. If Sakura and Chiyo could defeat Sasori, And Naruto could almost single-handedly beat Kakuzu (with help from Shikamaru), then I don't see any reason why with Naruto's help, Hinata can't beat AL.

BUT HINATA IZ TEH POWERFUL BECAUSE SHE'S A HYUUGA AND HAS JYUUKEN AND BYAKUUGAN WHICH IS SUPERIOR TO ALL EXCEPT THE CRUDDY SHARINGAN… Oh wait if I take the Hyuugatard side then the Byakuugan is superior to the sharingan but that's just laughable since even Sasuke said nothing is superior to the sharingan. XD
Anyways yeah Hinata can't seriously beat AL but we all know the Hinata fans are going to say she can.

She can't by herself. Hinata is no Neji. Shikamaru and Neji are both Jounin at the age of 15… as such, they could probably take out most A-S class Ninja with a little effort on their part. Look how easily Shikamaru trapped and defeated Hidan in their rematch.
But Hinata is needed for AL because of his Genjutsu. So far, the only move we've seen him do is the ability to use a percentage of a person's chakra to create an illusion which not only recreates the physical appearance of that person onto another, but also their abilities, even their bloodline limits. If AL is as powerful as they say, he could create a whole crapload of 10% or even 5% copies of himself and replenish his Chakra to create more while Hin/Nar/Yam waste their time fighting the fakes. If Hinata can spot the difference between a person under Pain's Genjutsu and Pain himself, then she would be important in defeating him.
But by no means could she defeat him by herself. As likeable as a character she is, she's too weak and timid to do any real damage on her own. That's where Naruto and Yamato come in.

Not saying she can though. I'm just saying that I have no doubt that there are people who actually do believe that she could just on the basis of her being a Hyuuga, and to you know "protect her lover Naruto" and "prove her theme about getting stronger."
Basically that sort of stuff. I for one seriously believe Hinata is about as much of a jobber as Lee is. Except Hinata can't even put up a fight the way Lee can. I refer to her as a human punching bag for a reason.
Oh and Shikamaru isn't a Jounin and Shikamaru's win was still BS no matter how you look at it.
-
Wasn't Pein the one who used that sealing dragon technique on the jinchurikis? I mean, now they are 5 members with the strange Tobi¡s dissapearance, the process for seal bijuus will be too slow. It took five days seal the Nibi and the Sanbi and two more for the Yonbi. Should they get some new member?
Shikamaru's win was still BS no matter how you look at it.
I disagree, it's because Hidan was strong but with the same intelligence that a mosquito

I don't even want to talk about Lee's last fight. The Sound Five fights, except for Neji's fight were stupid. The Sand Trio coming out of nowhere was a total DEM, as was Lee and the Sake ordeal.
As for Hinata, we haven't seen what she can do in so long. Hopefully she's gotten a helluva lot better. Just because she's still timid around Naruto doesn't mean she hasn't learned a few tricks.
Especially with Kurenai teaching her, I wouldn't be surprised if she was trained to recognize certain Genjutsu on the spot. I doubt it's a coincidence that Kurenai and Pain have the same eyes.
Oh and Shikamaru isn't a Jounin and Shikamaru's win was still BS no matter how you look at it.
Oh, I thought Shikamaru was a Jonin as well, but when I rechecked, it looks like only Neji became a Jonin. Ah well.
As for the Hidan fight, It's not so unbelieveable that Shikamaru could outsmart the guy. After all, he didn't seem to be a rocket scientist.
-
Not to make a point here, but if you replace Zoro with Ussop, than Luffy did cry for him leaving him.
And he got over it quick. None of this 150 chapters long bullshit.

Because that would be terrible, terrible writing. Even with Naruto's help I don't see why Hinata, whose list of accomplishments include:
1. Getting the living hell beaten out of her by her cousin.
2. Serving tea to said cousin and father.
3. Stalking a person who has a huge man-crush on a traitor to their village.would even be involved in taking down who could possibly be the most powerful villain in the series. Let's face it, the Akatsuki leader A) Is effeminate and B) Has spiky hair. That just screams powerful in the Naruto world. Plus, there's no proof that he does genjutsu; we already have Itachi around for any world-class mindfucks anyway. We don't need two of them. If she does anything, it's going to be cheering Naruto from the sidelines like any good shounen woman.
If she does fight someone it'll probably be Zetsu. Why Zetsu you ask? Because while Zetsu does fill the requirement for having Spiky hair, his design of a half white, half black, half swallowed by a venus flytrap makes his look intriguing. He'll be dead in the next fifty or so chapters, mark my words.

Uh, considering that Shino is the bug guy, it stands to reason that he'll fight Zetsu. Venus fly-trap head, bugs… you know.
Anyway, just because Hinata sucked pre time-skip doesn't mean a thing. After all, pre time-skip Sakura couldn't do a thing... but look at her post time-skip. She duoed Sasori, who was no pushover by any means.
And Pain DID use Genjutsu... remember? He gave two random goons 30% of Itachi and Kisame's Chakra, which gave them the appearance, abilities, and even mannerisms of the two. On top of that, the Itachi clone had all the Sharingan abilities that the real Itachi had.
Before you judge Hinata, wait and see how much she's improved, why don't you?

I made a mistake on my last post. I meant that the entire Hinata team would face Zetsu, not Hinata herself. I'll agree on this point as I don't see anyone on that team getting their own battle.
@Fire Fist:
Anyway, just because Hinata sucked pre time-skip doesn't mean a thing. After all, pre time-skip Sakura couldn't do a thing… but look at her post time-skip. She duoed Sasori, who was no pushover by any means.
Sakura was trained by Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin. Even then it was the old lady doing most of the work in that fight. Still, because of her teacher it is assumed that she'd at least be capable, though we haven't seen her do much lately.
Hinata's sensei's resume includes:
1. Getting bitch-slapped by Itachi
2. Getting knocked-up by Asuma
Not exactly stellar. If Kishimoto wanted to imply that she's powerful or 'good at anything' he's done a poor job of it.And didn't Sasori kill himself or something to that effect? Kind of takes away the medal for that victory.
@Fire Fist:

Where is this stated? I assumed that Itachi and Kisame were doing that themselves. And in any case, I thought the subject was revolving around AL not Pain or Pein or whatever her name is. I never mentioned anything about Blue Hair.
Besides, the clone thing is more of a mark on the characters being cloned, not the ability to clone them. Hell, Naruto does that all the time and in greater numbers.
@Fire Fist:
Before you judge Hinata, wait and see how much she's improved, why don't you?
Because the author gave her nil screen time compared to other, who could be considered major, side characters, why should she get any this time around?
Sakura was part of Team 7 and has connections to Sasuke so it's obvious that she'd still be part of the story. Hinata is barely connected to Naruto, who has been getting the shaft himself lately. Suddenly Hinata, who has no connections to powerful characters and is the poor-man's version of her brother, fighting the characters who are supposed to be the most powerful villains in the series would be terrible, terrible writing.
-
Having Hinata suddenly swoop in and Akatsuki Leader would be terrible, seeing as how her only other real fight in the entire series was her getting her shit ruined by Neji.
Instead of showing each character growing and becoming more powerful, Kishimoto decided to do a time skip and let us assume/guess at how much stronger the kids have become.
Didn't Luffy cried during +100 chapters for Robin to return with the crew? Robin come back!!! Ajem…
Uh, no. Luffy spent +100 chapters totally stomping face to get Robin back; he assaulted Enies Lobby alone.
Do you even read One Piece?
-
@Cyringohn:

That's the same:getlost: He didn't stop to shout her name during all arc. Naruto wants Sasuke to come back, yeah, but we'll see what will be his reaction when Sasuke refuses.(punch to the face)
Yeah, I read OP until the lastest chapter.

-
I mean punch to Sasuke's face, not his face
Lets see, Kishi has created lots of characters, develope all in one arc is almost imposible, so he chose the main team with another team for each arc. The fights will probably be a 2 vs 1. Lets leave him doing his work. Naruto's time will come soon.
-

Thing is, he went because she sacrificed herself for them, and he still made her say that she wanted to live before engaging CP9.
and with Ussop, he cried, but didn't hesitate to drop him off the crew if it meant the keeping the order, as well as listened to zoro and would have left him if he didn't apologize for being a dumbass.
Naruto on the other hand, got rejected twice and still obsessed over him and making the only thing that matters in his life, getting sasuke back against his will. Imo not only is that selfish, its rather gay.
Enough of this one piece/ naruto comparison.
-
This post is deleted!
-
Concerning Hinata. Considering that the AL and Bluehair are probably on a direct path to Naruto, who is in a three-person group with said Hyuuga, I have a distinct feeling that she will do something. Fighting the AL and fighting him to a standstill would certainly be poor writing, but there is no evidence that she wouldn't at least be able to damage bluehair to a degree. With Kishi's lack of focus on secondary characters, it's kinda just left to the imagination.
-
Two different stories with their good and bad moments but both are pretty popular despite if you like or hate a character. Yes, enough with the comparison, both are equal.
-

Yea, but instead of skipping, he could have had them appear in new missions and such with new techniques and such. Kinda like the sound 4 arc. There could have been more joint missions too before jumping straight into the akatsuki thing. Like gai's team investigating a lead or whatever.
It still would have gotten pretty stale, but It's not like naruto isn't right now. At least the other way would have been better writing than a 3 year skip in which everyone becomes the strongest ninja's in the world.

That's the problem. Akatsuki is an organization of ex-S-Class nins (excuse my overuse of hyphens). Anyone in said organization should be hella strong. Hinata, who has accomplished both jack and shit during her tenure in the Naruto world, would be a poor choice to fight anyone in Akatsuki. If she does damage Blue Hair, the assumption would be that BH is really, really weak not Hinata is really, really strong. And if she does pull some kind of badass maneuver it would come out of NOWHERE with no logic behind it. And that would be terrible, terrible writing.
-
This series is about Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura. The other konoha-nins are just there for backup or to fight lesser/medium threats. If Kishimoto wanted to give more depth in any of them, he'd have done it before. If Neji, the only of the young konoha-nins that turned Jounin, didn't change much or learned any new skill, what do you expect from Hinata?
So, what are your bets for the upcoming fights? Mine are:
Itachi X Sasuke (obvious)
Evil Naruto Twin X Naruto (very likely)
Zetsu X Shino (2 "tracker" types)
Kisame X Gai (unlikely at least now), or Kisame X Suigetsu (he's interested in the seven swords, right?)
Tobi X Kakashi (if he managed to survive and the Obito theory turns out true)
Bluehair X Sakura (unless she turns out to be that disciple from Jiraiya and plays a more relevant role plot-wise).I don't see Hinata or Kiba doing anything aside from support in any of these battles. I have no idea what will happen to Anko and Yamato. :P

Not exactly stellar. If Kishimoto wanted to imply that she's powerful or 'good at anything' he's done a poor job of it.Quite the contrary. She's actually shown to be very skilled in Genjutsu. She also had the ability to seal away Yakumo's powers, which takes great effort on her own part.
And didn't Sasori kill himself or something to that effect? Kind of takes away the medal for that victory.
No, he let himself be caught off guard by the puppets of his parents. If it had been any other puppets Chiyo had used, she and Sakura would be dead (Although she's already dead)
Where is this stated? I assumed that Itachi and Kisame were doing that themselves. And in any case, I thought the subject was revolving around AL not Pain or Pein or whatever her name is. I never mentioned anything about Blue Hair.
AL is Pain or Pein. Bluehair is unnamed. And Itachi and Kisame themselves stated that it was Pain (AL)'s doing that created their "Clones". And those weren't normal shadow clones. Itachi's "clone" did Tsukiyomi, for crying out loud.
Because the author gave her nil screen time compared to other, who could be considered major, side characters, why should she get any this time around?

How has Naruto been getting the Shaft? He took out Kakuzu almost single-handedly. And I'm not saying Hinata is going to go all out or something. She's going to lend her part to defeating Pain and that will be that.
And for the record, bad storytelling isn't a minor character improving. Bad storytelling is having the sand trio appear out of nowhere and totally destroy the bad guys after the characters originally fighting with them had struggled.
-
Hey, we're talking about the upcoming fights versus team Hebi, not versus Akatsuki.
My bets:
Sai Vs Suigetsu
Sakura and Hinata Vs Karin
Naruto, Shino, Kiba, Kakashi and Yamato Vs hiper powerful CS2 Juugo.
Then:
Naruto Vs Sasuke
Kakashi Vs TobiThese are my bets.
-
@Fire Fist:
Quite the contrary. She's actually shown to be very skilled in Genjutsu. She also had the ability to seal away Yakumo's powers, which takes great effort on her own part.
Who the hell is Yakumo? I don't remember any fight she's besides the one with Itachi. Unless I missed something in some recent chapter I don't think I'm wrong. If it's a dude from the anime you can't really use that.
@Fire Fist:
No, he let himself be caught off guard by the puppets of his parents. If it had been any other puppets Chiyo had used, she and Sakura would be dead (Although she's already dead)
He let himself be caught of guard? That sounds like suicide to me. And Chiyo was using those puppets at the beginning of the fight, and it didn't seem to effect him that much. But I digress as we're now talking about two different points, and I don't want this conversation to get more convoluted than it already is.
@Fire Fist:
AL is Pain or Pein. Bluehair is unnamed. And Itachi and Kisame themselves stated that it was Pain (AL)'s doing that created their "Clones". And those weren't normal shadow clones. Itachi's "clone" did Tsukiyomi, for crying out loud.
This only proves further that Hinata doing anything to counter him would be terrible, terrible writing. If this guy is all-powerful enough to create working clones of his own subordinates out of random dudes, then I can't see how poor-man's Neji is going to counter that. She's done nothing, nor is it implied anywhere, that she's escalated in strength to that point. In all likelyhood she's going to have the same role as Ino and Chouji in the Hidan/Kakuza fight, standing in awe of her hero while fainting, the only thing she's done post-timeskip.
@Fire Fist:
How has Naruto been getting the Shaft? He took out Kakuzu almost single-handedly. And I'm not saying Hinata is going to go all out or something. She's going to lend her part to defeating Pain and that will be that.
Naruto's been getting the shaft by continually being an idiot and obsessing over his traitor ex-friend. Despite the manga being named after him, Sasuke is becoming more and more the central character.
-
I bet Sasuke VS. Everyone in Narutoverse.
Everyone will impale Sasuke, and he will fall to his knees. Pools of Sasuke's blood will cover the world, and giant Cherry Blossom trees will grow out of them. The petals from the trees will fall and erase the existence of everything they touch.
And then Sasuke's wounds will magically heal. End manga.
-
I'd be a happy camper if Hinata died protecting Naruto from Pein. Let's face it she's a completely useless character fighting and plotwise, she's only there for disturbing greasy nerds to fantasize about her rape victim antics and unpopular semi autistic chicks to identify with her. She's pathetic and honestly serves no purpose whatsoever.
As for the upcoming fights I want to see Naruto vs Evil Naruto and Shino turning into a Bug Logia and laying waste to that Team Sssssssssnake faggotry. The rest can go jump off a bridge.

people talking about Naruto in the Naruto thread….what blashphemy is this...!!!
-
@Tokoro:

Lee just plain needs to win. One small step at a time.
-
@Cyringohn:
Lee just plain needs to win. One small step at a time.
That's why I said "isn't interrupted": he did technically have Sasuke on the ropes before Gai showed up. But of course, that battle was more to show the difference of power between him and Sasuke/Naruto…before those two get more uber due to the trials of the Chunin Exams.
-
Yeah, that was basically a spar to show how much Lee sucks when compared to people who don't work for anything.
-
@Cyringohn:
Yeah, that was basically a spar to show how much Lee sucks when compared to people who don't work for anything.
Moreso how Lee sucks compared to "people who have the abilities and help provided for them". (the Sharingan, Kakashi, Jiraiya, the bijuu)…but that isn't really that much a problem until later.
-
As much as I like Lee, are there any opponents that fit your criteria? Zetsu's instabonding teleport seems pretty hard to break. AL and Itachi are reserved for Naruto and Sasuke respectively I imagine. I don't know what to think about Blue Hair, but I doubt Lee's fighting her. Kabuto…I don't want to think about that.
Kisame is the only one left really. It'd definately be an interesting fight assuming Lee doesn't get trapped in a water bubble like last time and needs rescueing. We haven't really seen enough from him to know if he can fight at that level or not though. AAH, I want Lee to win so badly, but I can't see it happening.
-
It was more "what we wished to happen" actually. Thing is that Lee (or most of the characters outside the "neo-Sannin" and their supporters) are mostly outclassed with whomever is left but I just wish that some of them would have one more great battle before the series ends instead of just standing there as inspiration as Naruto faces the final battle. (or throw in shots that barely do squat like everyone not Gohan and Cell during their final Kamehameha battle)
-
Agreed. I could see him and Gai teaming up to do some kind of cool, tag-team maneuver. Once again, just wisful thinking but it would be nice to see either of them again.
Just out of curiosity, since they're dropping off pretty quick, who does everyone think the next Akatsuki to die will be? I've fifty bucks on Zetsu.
-
My money's on Bluehair. I can't see her being very important at all.
Then of course now that I've said that watch her being Naruto's mom.
-
I think Kisame's next to go. He'll die in the battle between Team Snake and Itachi/Kisame at the end of the current arc, probably losing to Suigetsu. I figured Zetsu would be cannon fodder at the beginning of the final arc, and Blue Hair…I don't know. She's the only one who doesn't even have a name yet, so who knows.
-
I'm expecting the 8th gate to open by the end of the series. Lee uses the 8th gate to face off with Kisame, beat the shit out of him, say " I actualy won!" 20 minute death/flashbacks/Gai Crying, Die. or vice versa with Gai and Lee switching places.
-
I'd love as impossible as it is for Kisame to kill Lee (lol) and then Gai going on a rampage of epic proportions
-
@Fire Fist:
As for the Hidan fight, It's not so unbelieveable that Shikamaru could outsmart the guy. After all, he didn't seem to be a rocket scientist.
All I'm going to say is that it wasn't about Shikamaru outsmarting him that made it BS. It was HOW Shikamaru outsmarted him.
-
Rock Lee will open the Eight Gate, but he won't die. Choji can do it, so Lee will do it too.
-
Well, if Kishi keep up with his "new generation surpassing the old," then Gai is definiting going to die while Lee does something awesome. Of course, that's if Kishi goes down that route and stays consistent–so no promises.
