[Amikami]

Loosing my arm was just a part of my plan, yeah.

 

[Man God]

Talking about jobbers, the sand village is the Sunday Night Heat of the Naruto world.

Velocity. Mist is Heat.

KABOOM!

 

[B-Dubs]

 

[BatDan]

Jeez, even at One Piece's 1:1 pacing in later episodes, the fights aren't that long.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Naruto will always be a poor college student at heart.

 

[BassForever]

Gaara just got bodied

 

[Shard]

All of a sudden it is that one episode of Space Dandy all over again.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

seriously, why does he have mouths on his hands

 

[Levyne]

flashback no jutsu

 

[Beelzeboss]

I feel like he pulled that plan out of his ass.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Becoming a genin has been Naruto's only achievement.

 

[blitzwolf215]

seriously, why does he have mouths on his hands

Had to make something weird about him.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Velocity. Mist is Heat.

KABOOM!

Mist has the legendary swordmans IIRC.

 

[UltraGunner]

Flashbacks within flashbacks

 

[foxuzamaki]

We know this because the characters said so. Not because of what he's done.

We know he's cool from the sasuke retrieval arc, we know he started redeeming himself, we dont need a whole arc covering it either.

 

[MikeMyers]

Becoming a genin has been Naruto's only achievement.

He also kissed Sasuke, every fan girls dream.

 

[VariantX]

lord i forgot the beginning is full of these flashbacks.

 

[Moaradin]

Jeez, even at One Piece's 1:1 pacing in later episodes, the fights aren't that long.

I don't remember any other Shippuden fight dragging as much as this one did. The pacing in the beginning is just so fucking slow.

 

[BatDan]

It's weird, Naruto has never made me want ramen
Yet Space Dandy did more for me wanting ramen in one episode...

 

[BassForever]

2 years of filler and Naruto somehow still has worst pacing then Bleach

 

[Amikami]

I feel like he pulled that plan out of his ass.

Don't worry. He did.

 

[Mik317]

Jeez, even at One Piece's 1:1 pacing in later episodes, the fights aren't that long.

tbf One Piece's pacing issues come from FLASHBACKS TO 2 SECOND AGO, REACTION SHOTS, RECAPS TO THE RECAPS, EXTREME STARING.

 

[Man God]

Becoming a genin has been Naruto's only achievement.

Besides the whole Ninja Jesus thing, sure.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Had to make something weird about him.

like, was he born that way?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Naruto regrets not getting his ninja GED.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

He also kissed Sasuke, every fan girls dream.

Not Ino's.

 

[Shard]

Naruto is in for a LONG wait, isn't he.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Forever a genin

 

[789shadow]

Naruto, that is literally an irrelevant formality now.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I should punch you for critiquing me.

 

[Seda]

I don't remember any other Shippuden fight dragging as much as this one did. The pacing in the beginning is just so fucking slow.

The (light later current arc spoilers)

Spoiler

Sasori fight drags too

 

[blitzwolf215]

like, was he born that way?

maybe it's a kekkei genkai or something

 

[Mik317]

uh....Naruto....

 

[BassForever]

Forever Genin may be worst then forever alone

 

[Amikami]

Don't worry Naruto. Sasuke is technically still a Genin too.

Genin are the real powerhouses of this show.

 

[Moaradin]

The (light later current arc spoilers)

Spoiler

Sasori fight drags too

stuff actually happens in that one though.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

The (light later current arc spoilers)

Spoiler

Sasori fight drags too

That shit was unnecessary.....

 

[MikeMyers]

Not Ino's.

Hers was to get a golden shower, and Naruto gave her that.

Good guy Naruto.

 

[Man God]

That one doesn't drag that much, more that it is crazy long.

 

[Shard]

The actual reason for his outfit change is more merch needs to be sold.

 

[commanderpepper]

Gaara is just better.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Naruto making this casual ramen dinner so dramatic.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Rewatching the InuYasha+boulder scenes, so hilarious.

 

[blitzwolf215]

No Naruto, being special does make you Kazekage.

 

[BassForever]

No Naruto I'm pretty sure being special is what makes you Kage

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Hers was to get a golden shower, and Naruto gave her that.

Good guy Naruto.

I thought it was Shikamaru who would do that?

 

[mightynine]

The actual reason for his outfit change is more merch needs to be sold.

It is a better outfit, though.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Yes Kankuro, that's his name

 

[Mik317]

Hers was to get a golden shower, and Naruto gave her that.

Good guy Naruto.

So that wasn't just a fever dream then.....

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

What happened?
What do you think happens when things explode.
