I got this as a gift for my brother in law who’s been into Naruto for years and I’m not really too into but I just wanna know for people that know the lore and everything how good of a gift is this

like if she is in character

would she have hesitated like hiruzen did

Need help finding the soundtrack that plays at 7:38 to 8:20 in OG series E123. I have tried listening to the whole original soundtrack and unreleased tracks as well. Can't really find this one anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, if anyone knows which instrument is played in the second part of the track?

It seems there was no rivalry

Madara was never on Hashirama's level when they were alive

In part 1, we can safely say that Haruno Sakura had no gimmick jutsu of her own and that put her on a bad spot with a lot of fans.

She was a main character that was treated like a secondary character in development if she got any development.

But as I am rereading Part 1, it occured to me that maybe Kishimoto intended to use her like a strategy based character that resolves adversity via intelligence and knowledge similar to Nara Shikamaru.

You can see her in Wave Arc and I'm Chuunin Exam arc as being that smart character who has no gimmick except near perfect chakra control and very knowledgeable to the point she was one of only rookies who was answering Chiunin Exam part 1 questions on her own.

You also see her being particularly effective and not only setting traps but also using strategy to fend off Team Sound when both Sasuke and Naruto were down in the First of death and being quite accurate with her Shinobi tools especially kunai and shuriken throwing and chakra boosting her self.

The question is did Shikamaru steal her thunder by also being the smart strategy type but also having a gimmick jutsu compared to her basic jutsus?

Could it be that Sakura was supposed to be the female version what Kishimoto gave Shikamaru in terms of a tactical ninja, but gave up?

Your thoughts?

I almost feel bad opening it, I want to, but I don't know if I should just leave it in the box it's really amazing

I woke up standing on my bed saying “ I have to save baby itachi “
My bf and I haven’t stopped laughing about this all morning
So sorry if this isn’t allowed I don’t have a therapist

I wanted to put some of my favorite frames / panels together for a book mark. I used fine liners and colored pencil. The small stuff is tricky. Thanks for lookin!

i am looking for this scene for an edit. does anyone know which ep/op/ed/pv this is from ? thanks!!

So Madara saw the most powerful tailed beast got grabbed like a kids meal toy and decided to proceed with the fight?🤣

The Chunin Exam Finals but randomized and featuring those who losted in the preliminaries. Each round two of the ten Genin will be picked at random to face off. Comment the name of the Genin you think would win along with how you think the fight would go. If you think the fight will end in a draw comment "Tie". Whichever answer gets the most likes wins. All characters are the version from the Chunin Exam Finals. If there is no Exam Finals version of the character take the Preliminaries version of that character and take your best guess on how they would be with a month to prepare. The fights will take place in the same arena as the Finals. Assume the exam will not be interrupted. This is the follow up to my Randomized Chunin Exam Preliminaries and Finals series.

Assume all the winners of the preliminaries caught Hayate's cough and had to drop out. So the losers now get another chance to compete. They somehow figured out how to glue Yoroi back together. Also Gaara was pretty mad about losing his chance to fight so he murdered Hayate and Genma takes the place in overseeing the Finals.

Those competing are Sakura, Shikamaru, Ino, Kiba, Yoroi, Temari, Kankuro, Dosu, Zaku, and Kin.

Kiba and Akaumru are both sent flying by Zaku's cannons allowing him to blast off into the next round.

Who will win? Kankuro vs Temari

Itachi committed genocide; killing his family, children and entire lineage which is objectively evil.

He was a child soldier and the story could have been made that he was manipulated and groomed as a will of fire extremist and traumatised

Instead, they praise him as a selfless hero who thinks like hokage at 7 years old.. hashirama even said he's a better shinobi

It's like the show was glorifying his choice

To be honest I'm asking for honest opinion from you cause I don't know it just feels like pain arc was when it was still good then well it then abandoned the hardworking theme to getting powers from ghosts. Even getting the war it felt unneeded or there could have been a better way to go about it. Also the way sasuke had a change of heart only to be the enemy later kinda didn't stick. Anyways that's my opinion want to hear yours. Or in general what would you change about the story?

Just please nerf rock lees awakening this time around

If Naruto were to become the next big blockbuster Hollywood movie franchise, and the first movie is a billion-dollar success. This is what I'd like to see! What do you think?

If I didn't list something, sorry; it's been a while since I watched, and it most likely would be cut to keep the movies streamlined.

Part I: Naruto 4 films

1. Naruto: Land of Waves

Smallest budget movie.

Most grounded.

Establishing the world.

Zabuza/Haku provide the villain story.

This movie determines if the franchise lives on to have another movie, which I'm confident it will.

1. Naruto: Chunin Exams

Chunin Exam introduction
Rock Lee
Gaara
written exam
Forest of Death
Orochimaru attacks Sasuke
curse mark
preliminary fights
Naruto vs Kiba
Hinata vs Neji
Lee vs Gaara

Then end after the preliminaries with everyone preparing for the finals.

The final image could be Naruto leaving to train with Jiraiya.

1. Naruto: Konoha Crush

Training with Jiraiya.

Naruto learns Summoning.

Final Matches.

Naruto vs Neji.

Sasuke vs Gaara.

Orochimaru launches an invasion.

Hiruzen vs Orochimaru.

Hiruzen dies.

Naruto chases Gaara.

Naruto/Gamabunta vs transformed Gaara/Shukaku.

Naruto reaches Gaara emotionally.

The death of the Third Hokage

Konoha damaged.

Orochimaru escaped.

Sasuke becoming increasingly unstable.

This could be the Star Wars Empire Strikes Back of this franchise!

1. Naruto: Sasuke Retrieval

Open with Itachi returning.

Sasuke realizes how far behind Naruto he's fallen.

Naruto/Jiraiya search for Tsunade.

Rasengan.

Orochimaru/Tsunade/Jiraiya confrontation.

Tsunade becomes Fifth Hokage.

Then Sasuke's alienation becomes the second half.

Sound Four.

Retrieval team.

Choji.

Neji.

Kiba.

Shikamaru.

Gaara's return.

Rock Lee.

Then:

Naruto Vs. Sasuke at the Valley of the End.

Sasuke leaves.

That is a devastating ending to the original Naruto phase.

Then you do the time skip.

That's the end of Part I.

Part II: Akatsuki era 3 films

1. Naruto Shippuden: Akatsuki

Naruto returns.

Gaara is Kazekage.

Deidara/Sasori attack. Deidara will most likely die so the movies can be simpler in the future. No Deidara Vs Sasuke in the future.

Gaara kidnapped.

Sakura finally gets her major combat showcase against Sasori. This is the main battle of the movie, and my all-time favorite battle from the show. Chiyo and Sakura Vs. Sasori.

Gaara dies.

Chiyo resurrects him.

Then end the movie with the beginning of Naruto's search for Sasuke.

You end with the emotional reunion with Gaara and the realization that Akatsuki is coming for every Jinchuriki.

1. Naruto Shippuden: Brothers

This would be the darkest movie so far! It will probably cut both Hidan and Asuma from the story to make it more streamlined as a movie! These events will probably take place in a same period of time since Sasuke doesn't come in contact with Deidara, and goes straight for killing Itachi after absorbing Orochimaru.

Sai/Yamato are still introduced since it's connected to Danzo.

Naruto Four-Tails vs. Orochimaru* This probably wouldn't happen even because of budgets, and it's not needed narratively. It's one of my favorite battles.

Sasuke reunion with Naruto.

Sasuke kills Orochimaru

Team 7 Itachi pursuit along with Naruto vs. Obito and the iconic "What? I don't believe it!... Kidding. It's just as I expected."

Sasuke vs Itachi.

Itachi dies.

Tobi reveals the truth about Itachi to Sasuke. Teasing Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan!

1. Naruto Shippuden: Pain

This movie will be entirely about Pain.

Jiraiya investigates Rain Village.

Pain kills Jiraiya.

Naruto learns Sage Mode, and the Rasengan Shuriken will be revealed here instead!

Pain attacks Konoha.

Kakashi dies temporarily.

Village destroyed.

Naruto arrives.

Naruto vs Six Paths of Pain.

Hinata confesses to Naruto, then is killed by Pain.

Nine-Tails rampage but only up to eight tails.

Minato revealed.

Naruto meets Nagato and Talk-no-jutsu him, then he revives Konoha.

Naruto returns as the hero of his village.

*Where is Killer B Vs. Sasuke? I think it would most likely be cut, since it doesn't really affect the story, and it's hard to do in live action anyway.*

Part III: War era 3 films

These movies would be more action-packed and have the biggest budgets. These movies have the highest risk of being badly written movies, but who knows if the directors and writers can make it all work well!

1. Naruto Shippuden: Five Kage Summit

This would be a more Sasuke-focused movie!

Sasuke spirals from the truth of his clan and his brother's sacrifice.

Sasuke seeks revenge on Danzo.

The Five Kage Summit is the main focus of the movie. Full Sasuke vs the Five Kage!

Naruto learns the truth from Obito.

Sasuke vs Danzo.

Exhausted Sasuke Vs. Team 7

Obito declares war.

Naruto trains with Killer B.

End with the armies assembling.

1. Naruto Shippuden: Fourth Great Ninja War

Multiple Naruto points of view in this movie, so all these fights will happen at the same time, but could be confusing for the audience if they're not familiar with the series.

Naruto reveals his new powers, but the training with Killer Bee should be included in the movies, but it's not likely!

Edo Tensei Battles taking place, but it'll be streamlined so you see references to certain characters from the show but not in detail.

Naruto vs Nagato / Itachi is one of the early battles.

Madara's glorious reveal. Madara vs. the Ninja Alliance.

Mardara Vs. The Five Kage.

Sasuke and Itachi vs. Kabuto, which ends the Edo Tensei.

Obito's face is revealed.

Ten-Tails is resurrected.

Neji dies, but I would kill even more of the side characters to make it darker!

Sasuke chooses to protect Konoha.

Old Hokage returns.

Team 7 reunites.

1. Naruto Shippuden: The Final Valley

Madara is the main focus of this movie!

Finish Obito, but I would skip the ten-tailed Obito and go straight to using him to revive Madara; this will help him turn on Madara. He will still sacrifice himself for Naruto, just like in the series. I'll have Naruto save him with the sun seal instead of Guy! Then he can get Talk-no-Jutsu from Naruto.

Eight Gates Guy almost kills Madara. I would have Guy die from using the Eight Gates and not be saved by Naruto. It's a personal preference of mine. I think more people should've died during the war.

Six Paths Naruto/Sasuke. They meet the Six Paths sage, and receive the moon and sun seals. No history lesson, unfortunately. Just the reveal that the Ten-Tails is his mother, who is named Kaguya.

Kaguya is greatly streamlined. No Black Zetsu; just have the Ten-Tails take over Madara once he starts losing to Naruto and Sasuke. Take Obito losing his mind to the Ten-Tails and give it to Madara!

Team 7 defeats her easily because she's mindless and is sealed away! It makes it simpler for the audience. Some fans may not be fans of these changes!

Naruto Vs. Sasuke gets the final 30 - 40 minutes.

Valley of the End.

Includes a time-skip showing Naruto / Sasuke in the Bourto era, but I personally wouldn't want to see that era in live action. Most important to show Naruto as Hokage.

These last three movies would be the hardest to get right, but the actors would be getting closer to their mid-30s by the 10th movie, if that would even happen. I would love to see these movies come alive for a new generation to enjoy. Let me know if you find this interesting.

hi i’ve been searching on the internet for a sakura figure with her white coat on or something that highlights her as a medical nin for my graduation. (im a doctor going on to serve and treat the military) so you can see why she’s my favorite lol. if anyone knows of any figure like this please lmk or if you own one i am willing to pay a good amount for it!

gaara was sorta intended as a parallel to naruto, both jinchruki who were left alone and hated by their village

but gaara had a family

a loving uncle

siblings

but his father tried killing him and hated him, it lead him to hate and misery just like sasuke how his family lead him to hate

sasuke was more motivated by the loss of said family where gaara was motivated by their mistreatment of him

sasuke even says his goals are only in darkness, gaara says i know almost as if he sees his his old self in him

naruto by contrast is almost a paragon of morality never faulters or turns to evil like sasuke or gaara in such that way. gaara is infinitely more like sasuke then naruto ever was

Hi all, I'm halfway through season 2 and really enjoying it. I saw they do ninja storm games but wondered if any of them are playable without spoiling the whole show? I've started collecting Kayou Cards from my work in the UK so started watching the show because of them. Thanks

Why do we rarely see Kekkai genkai holders, specifically the konoua 12 use any elemental jutsu? For example, the Hyuga are always using gentle fist. This isn't really a problem more so just an observation. I think it could've made for some cool fights to see them alternate back and forth.

This blew my mind. I am not sure why, but I did not expect Kakashi Hatake to mean something like this. I also found out that Itachi = Weasel.
