Naruto has more chemistry with Sasuke (and vice versa) so they're my ship lol. Hinata should have moved onto a better man.

Like Kiba.

I've never met a NaruSasu shipper, I just hear it being shipped crazy.

Hi.

Or Ten Ten. Konoha's men got issues get with the women and be done with it.

A ship of two highly underutilized women. Though I never understood why Hinata wasn't on Team Guy like Neji. Neji and Rock Lee both use Taijutsu so I can understand, but Tenten is a weapons expert and Guy only really used nunchucks himself.

Hinata was being wasted on Team Kurenai. Though Tenten was great in the spinoff.

That shit that makes my soul burn slow. I pretty much just zoned out after that and just left the show running in the background. After they made Danzo the sixth Hokage I don't have a fucking clue what else happened in that episode, it's all just a haze. I'd rather be a sacrifice in the Eclipse from Berserk than deal with that shit again. Godhand fucking take my ass, I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

At least those two would appreciate each other. Naruto couldn't find a clue even if it was at the bottom of all those ramen bowls he scarfs down.
 
The Hyuga dude that screamed Hinata's name after she ran off had ample time to tell the two Katsuyus beside her that Naruto was in trouble and was about to be captured. The original message would be moot at that point because clearly Naruto couldn't handle Pain himself, so they'd spread the message to all the other katsuyus.

And you can bet your ass that anyone worth their salt would have gone to Hinata's aid, reducing the risk of her getting jobbed and having Naruto subsequently activate the 8-tails.

I bet you even Inoichi and co. would have stopped locating Nagato's location to deal with the Deva Path.

So the Hyuuga dude was the one relaying? Well I guess he was made not to relay the info so Hinata can her moment lol

Uhh, he did say Hinata jobs though, in the worst way possible.

And Kakashi does job.... Know 1000 jutus and spam chidori brehs.

I've watched the entire series. Believe Kakashi is not a jobber.
Raikiri is his signature move and its a damn good one so why not.

How can I claim she jobs when I clearly state she gets the shit beat out of her constantly. If she ain't jobbing to prop up her man than what the fuck else could she possibly be doing? But she really didn't ease his pain though. I honestly think it just made Naruto feel more guilty for losing control and tail smacking her.

I said that was her intention and like Yamato says thats what matters. Naruto knows how much Sakura cares about him but also naturally feels guilty whenever he loses control of himself as it could result in his friends dying.

On top of that he's one of Orochimaru's secret experiments, still jobs. Those Anbu dudes are pretty much just red shirts from OG Star Trek or those nameless CTU mooks that constantly get killed off in 24.

Edit:

Just started 175...Nagato did a Deus Ex Machina jutsu. Shizune should've popped up like, "y'all let that motherfucker take my soul? Fuck you people!!!"

YO HINATA WHAT THE FUCK PUSH THAT BITCH OFF YOUR FUCKING MAN ALREADY!!!!!!!!

Thats not Hinata's call. Thats Naruto's decision and he is clearly appreciative of the gratitude Sakura gives him.
 
Come and worship the true otp.

Crazy thing, I don't even knock that ship. Hell, i might actually read a fic. But, most of the Naruto fics are trash(no offense to any Naruto fic writers) due to how large the fandom is and I don't have the patience to wade through the garbage to find the gems.
 
Sasuke and Naruto's bond is the most focused relationship in the entire manga. Although them being into each other romantically is a joke. They are brothers.

Literally metaphysically brothers
 
Sasuke and Naruto's "bromance" is probably the least convincing bromance in anime considering how much the show likes to focus on it. They did a piss poor job at showing why they care about each other. It's especially apparent when they need tons of flashbacks later on telling us how they were friends since they were babies, even though we never see any of it when it mattered.

Now Gon and Killua, that's a real bromance.

You know what fuck it I'm not even going to discuss it I'm just not. I'm honestly just at the point where I think the love triangle plot line has reached it's natural conclusion, it's not even written well. If this is what Kishi or his fucking editors wanted then they're too stupid to realize that they're beating a dead fucking horse by now. It makes no sense. I have never seen a woman step up for her man like that on more than one occasion only to get knocked the fuck down again and pushed to the periphery of the show. Hinata should've hit Sakura with a 64 Palm attack while screaming "bitch get the fuck off my man!!" but nope nothing. I'm not even blaming Sakura for this, I'm blaming Hinata. Her sacrifice was like clubbing a baby seal only to not use the pelt for clothing, it was fucking useless.

Ep 197:

What the fuck? It's Anko! Where the hell has she been hiding? I wonder if Kishi even remembered how to draw her when he brought her back in the manga. Anko finds out her village was ransacked and she barely even reacted. Nice another good OP, they've been pretty decent lately.

Ep 198:

Naruto gets his ass kicked by a woman for Sasuke, must mean he loves him.

Sasuke and Naruto are not Guts in Griffith. Griffith believed Guts to be his bae, "you're mine" Sasuke and Naruto never had possessive Yandere moments.

I ship these two more than I ship NaruSasu. KilGon shits on them character/personality wise too.

Speaking of OPs how did you like Sign and Tōmei Datta Sekai?

Diver's a really good opening too. I love how CC2 gave an homage to it in Storm 4 (would this be considered a spoiler?)

The next opening, Lovers is probably the last opening I really enjoyed.

Ehh they don't have a bromance. Its more of a budding rivalry. And actually in the Anime there is alot of filler with Sasuke/Naruto before he left. The reason they needed flashbacks is because of how long of a break they took between the sasuke versus naruto stuff when all the other arcs started happened.

Sasuke and Naruto have a funny relationship. Always jealous of each other and unknowingly pushing each other to their limits. But when they fight together they've always have had perfect team work.

Danzo is hardcore...how the fuck does he have a sharingan? Lol Karin is Sasuke's Soliton Radar.
He stole one from one of the clans most gifted members and one of Itachis mentors/friends, Shisui. This is largely overlooked but there is a nice filler about it.
 
Danzo may be an asshole, but he's not messing around. The guy is Kage level material.
 
You're at the point where the fanbase went wild with speculation about hidden dojutsu.

My personal favourite was the theory that when Naruto took off his bandages he would reveal he unlocked the rinnegan.


everyone with hidden eyes was suspect back then.
 
SHARINGAN TANK

Holy shit lol. I think I went back to my first post. And well it took me a little over a month to go full on salty. And that was while skipping filler hell and I haven't even hit the dumber parts of this series. I'm still at the beginning of the Kage Summit arc and Sakura is already annoying while she's crying about Sasuke. Grow the fuck up woman!!
 
If you think Sakura's reaction to all this is annoying, just wait until you see
I'm sorry I can't spoil this, you have to see it for yourself.

Am I going to have another meltdown from this or am I just going to laugh at Sakura? Hinata not knocking her ass off of Naruto nearly broke me.

Eh, I saw that more as something to show how their fates were alwyas intertwined rather than showing why they have such a bond. Thats what part 1 was about.

Last time I checked, Naruto is his own person not some property, who can speak and act for himself and its clear what decision he has made.

Sasuke
 
Thats entirely Naruto's choice and opinion. I've already told you he's closer to his team. Thats like his dream, to have Team 7 together again.
As I said I just want him to take Hinata out to go get some ramen. Acknowledge the damn woman, it's not back breaking labor. He just beat some OP as fuck dragonball Jutsu dude. Everybody loves him, this woman verbally stated it and out of a village full of people tried to pull some bars out of your fucking torso, take the woman out to go get some god damn food. Shit at least say, "thanks Hinata."

This is a shonen manga. The only way Naruto and Hinata is happening is if the writer feels he needs a character with Uzumaki DNA + the byakugan to move ahead the plot. And even then all the romance will still happen off screen.

So far the only Shounen show I've seen where the woman gets no focus is Jojo. Keiko isn't really a large portion of YYH, but it's quite evident that Yusuke cares for her, a lot actually and he does show it when he actually has to. Same goes for FMA. Even Kenshin and Kaoru don't get fucked over like this? Why is "This is a Shounen manga" such a valid excuse for Naruto?

Because everyone has low expecations for Naruto.
 
Kishimoto is just not very good at writing romance or female characters.

I actually think the best "romance" in the series is between Jiraiya and Tsunade. She cares about him, still won't date him, has feelings for him that are complicated. Temari and Shikamaru are pretty well done, too.

Oh, and you have yet to meet the best female character, JW. Hint: it's the Mizukage.

I met that crazy ass woman this morning actually. I actually like Temari and Shikamaru, Temari's just rarely on the damn show. She's my favorite, please tell me she doesn't get fucked over like Shizune? That shit was just cruel. I think when it comes to Jiraiya and Tsunade they knew a long time ago that a relationship between them was just never going to work. They like each other, but they were just never going to try to pursue anything.

Yeah... A powerful female character in the Naruto universe. Of course she can't shut up about not finding a man. But she's as close to a good female character your going to get from Kishimoto.

Also fuck that the forced and contrived Naruto Sasuke "friendship". Killer Bee and Rock Lee and Sakura have all been 10 times better friends then Sasuke was ever to Naruto. He's obsession made no sense.

I have noticed that during that "engagement" "Shut up or you die" bit. How many characters does Steven Jay Blum play? It's like Viz had his ass on speed dial.
 
In a weird way. The extent to which Kishimoto underutilized every other character besides Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi is the reason I don't mind the Anime fillers.

The Filler episodes are the only place where the side characters get any screen time or character building.

I like shikamaru and temari. Its never mentioned, but you always just knew something was going on. They are way too cool to show it though. They fit each other.

I honestly wish there was a filler guide that tells me who is in what filler episode.

I think I got a pretty good bead on those two in Part 1 when Temari saves his ass during the save Sasuke arc.
Tsunade is arguably Kishi's most well-written female character.
Given how he treats them that's not too hard. But Tsunade cares a lot about the village and I loved Tsunade in her introductory arc.

Sigh.

I try to tell people this. This current arc is just about everybody you can think of that were left out in the canon.

Honestly there was mutual respect. It took a while but Sasuke definitely noticed Naruto. He respected Naruto enough to gauge himself against him. That panel in the chuunin exam where Sasuke told Naruto that all the strong fighters are here and he's one of the ones that he wants to fight the most probably meant more to Naruto than anything else that's happened in his childhood.

Its more like a budding rivalry, the classic ying-yang relationshi. Sasuke is just emotionally awkward. You can't really blame him.

Naruto is Guts and Sasuke is Griffith, just minus the depth and the Yandere moments. They bring out the best in each other, Sasuke's just too goal driven to stop being a revenge machine to chill out and lead a simple life with his friends. Sasuke honestly could've had the perfect life in Konoha. He'd have the girl, he'd have his best friend and he'd have his respect. He just wanted to fulfill whatever journey he thought he needed to do for revenge. I honestly think Sasuke's quest was in the long run the last thing Itachi wanted of him.

Edit:

At what point did Liam Obrian stop doing Gaara's voice? Or is sane Gaara just too boring sounding?

He knows that. He even calls it a dream but he's not doing things for his own happiness. Ever since his family died that was his only reason to live. If said reason was ever becoming unattainable then he would become desperate. The power gap between him and Itachi is ultimately the catalyst.
