he’s basically kakashi’s prodigy, except absolutely none of his moves belong to him. grinding harder? of course he was grinding how can naruto grind if he has a seal on him stopping him from using jutsu properly.
that’s the thing, who knows who would of been the better student/ninja if konohagakure wasnt attacked by the 9 tails
The same way rock grinded since they are pretty much the same character
?
what im trying to say is naruto wouldnt have the same limitions he had, or rock lee has, if the 9 tails didnt attack. if his dad would of been alive think of all the things naruto might of been able to develop (4th ended up teaching jaraiya, mind)
the 4th was an inventor. naruto might have ended up being beyond broken

There are no free handouts in the manga…like honestly.
Sasuke had to kill Itachi to get the eyes. Granted he didn’t REALLY kill Itachi, he had to train his ass off and shut himself down emotionally to even approach a level of power to rival Itachi. Just because his training was off panel, doesn’t mean he wasn’t training. Even the power of the pew pew is somethign that has to be developed. The rest of the stuff Sasuke does is high level stuff that shows and obvious SKILL (the spatial composition of chakra as well as the nature composition of it - both of which he is leagues beyond most)…nothing free about anything for Sasuke.
Naruto is no different, just like how Sasuke had to ‘gain’ the strength to use Itachi’s eyes, Naruto has to gain the strength to use the Kyuubi chakra. The focus Sasuke has had to develop thru his training is parallel to Naruto and his Sage training. Rasengan? Nothing easy about it…let alone throwing it and adding nature chakra. Does he have hacks? Of course, all main characters do, but his hacks don’t give him a boost from the start. The same way Sasuke’s boost (pew pew) weren’t super effective until he could really master it, Naruto’s Kyuubi chakra has actually been a hinderance - between what it did to his chakra and the actual act of dealing with the kyuubi chakra…its only with the obvious next ‘arc’ that Naruto will finally reap REAL benefits from the kyuubi (I’m not turning away blindly at it helping his natural chakra reserve from dealing with it, but lets be honest - sans Kyuubi he’d still be capable of doing most of what he does now).
I still don’t even see why Sasuke was brought up, the ninja wasn’t even MENTIONED in this issue outside of “boy with powerful eyes” (and I’d laugh if that WASN’T Sasuke).
the completed that jutsu will be a copleted frs while nalto is kissing saske as the uchiha pumps his amaterasu in the frs to bring it to a level that might actually do something to madara. or some other gay shit.

As somebody else said, Naruto is a manga that has ALWAYS been about a huge, sprawling and generally good cast of characters. So indeed, distilling the entire thing down to Naruto vs. Sasuke with occasional cameos by Shikamaru is disappointing. Probably the single best story since the age jump was the “Shikamaru vs. Hidan and Kakuzu” story…and it’s no coincidence that “Shikamaru vs. Hidan and Kakuzu” does not have “Naruto” or “Sasuke” in there.
Anyway…dumbest thing about this chapter was the discussion between Karin and Ibiki, which should’ve gone down more like this:
Karin: Gimme some food.
Ibiki: Bitch, you start talking now or I’ll cut off your fingers and make you eat them.
On a side note how broken is reverse summoning, its like a get out of death free card. Just get a byakugan user or someone to watch you fight from a a mile away and if things get really bad just summon you out of there
Naruto could be better, or he could have been worse since he wouldn’t have been able to train at the rate he puts himself through. Unlike Rock Lee who did that shit off of straight willpower, the Kyuubi chakra replenished Naruto’s stamina and healed him so he could train at the rate he did. Naruto with no Kyuubi would have died a long time ago from all the L’s he took. The benefits he got from the Kyuubi far outweigh the drawbacks imo.
If Naruto didn’t have the Nine Tails, Haku would’ve killed them both.
Then Kishimoto would’ve very generously saved us all a great deal of time.
um… i don’t think he was grinding harder than naruto before team 7, just grinding more effectively because he could actually control his chakra as opposed to naruto. remember naruto was practicing shit like kunai skills till his hands were raw and shit as a little kid just like sasuke was struggling to get approval from his family.
yeah it’s true naruto could of turned out worse, but the show’s called naruto so I doubt it 
come on his dad was the strongest nin across the board from what sounds like pure brain power. this is at the time the uchiha were around btw
but it’s all what if mumbo jumbo so who cares
random thought: did kikashi actually somehow receive his MS from itachi?
Well naruto is goina get the seal removed next, so we will see how broken he is when he can control both sage and the kybuu. It would seem that everyone but him (tailed beasts) was able to control it. But that didnt stop pain n crew from going pokemon hunting n shit.
“You will meet an octopus” Ok naruto will learn how to fully master the kybuu in these next chapters. I was wondering when ShogunGekomon was goina tell naruto his future.
If Naruto is going to meet up with Killer Bee next, wtf is going to happen to Kisami? lol. High volume of Chakra or not, i don’t see him faring to well against both the eight and ninetails.
I don’t recall there ever being an explanation how Kakashi leveled up his sharingan… My least favorite theory was that he somehow, after the fact, decided that he was responsible for the death of Obito, his closest friend, and that’s how he got it. I don’t buy that at all.
He was probably talking about neji :lol: Neji heard about hinatas confession and got jealous.
itachi hits kakashi with tsukiyomi => timeskip => mangekyo kakashi
at least thats how i remember it.
Think Madara can get Zombie Nagato’s eyes? Haha.
Madara/Obito already has rinnengan right?
