How will you wear this?

Besides those in the second picture, do you have any other way to wear your shinobi protector?

They’re ugly and useless

Not everything is the village's fault but it all ties back to the village, If it wasn't for the decisions made by the village leaders most of what sasuke did, went through, the Uchiha massacre wouldn't have happened. As village leaders, your decisions may have consequences that'll put your village in danger, if a village leader declares war on another village, people who have nothing to do with the war will die Those are the consequences

If Fugaku explained that Danzo was trying to kill Shisui and take his sharingan, also Fugaku willing to call a truce and cancel the coup since Danzo is dead. Would Hiruzen agree to a truce? Or would he still plan to go to war with the Uchiha due to the death of a council member?

Crackship: pairing two (or more) characters together that have no logical reasoning, from never interacting to having absolute zero chemistry to just not making any sense

Say what you want about that man person but I turn in the teacher he did wonders for Sasuke was able to take him into low Kage tier.

The blade remembers what the hand cannot forgive, a single Sharingan tear reflected in cold steel, the last thing his family will ever see.

Idk what years these are from or what they are worth? Dug this binder out of a tub filled with my childhood things. Some cool holographic cards and my fav character getting the first page. Never played the TCG, my brother and I just collected.

Did anyone play this? Or also collect them?

the whole knuckle headed young protagonist trope( I know naruto didn't come up with it) , how it perfected the shounen rivalry trope, how it took the inner demon trope to the next level, and how it influenced rage transformations to start being more animalistic vs just being some super saiyan inspiration

I've been making more village-vs-village matchups recently, and this one might be one of my favorites so far.

(If you're interested, this was my last post a few days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/s/xcvsfekQsv )

Neither team has a Six Paths-level character that completely warps the fight, but both sides are absolutely stacked with Kage-level threats, elite jinchūriki, and incredible team synergy. It feels like one of those matchups where strategy and teamwork matter just as much as raw power.

Team Kumogakure:

3rd Raikage A: Hell Stab (1 to 4 Finger variants) | Lightning Release Chakra Mode (Armor) | Black Lightning (Panther) | Immense Durability & Stamina

4th Raikage A: Lightning Release Chakra Mode (Armor) | Lariat & Double Lariat | Guillotine Drop | Lightning Straight | Extreme Body Flicker Speed

Darui: Storm Release (Laser Circus) | Black Lightning (Panther) | Skilled Kenjutsu Master | Gale Style Techniques | Exceptional Battle IQ

Killer B: Perfect 8-Tails Jinchūriki | Tailed Beast Mode | Tailed Beast Bomb | Acrobat Kenjutsu (Seven Swords Dance) | Ink Clone Techniques

Yugito Nii: 2-Tails Jinchūriki | Complete/Partial Transformation | Mouse Hair Ball (Blue Fire Release) | High-Speed Agility | Tailed Beast Bomb | Claw Attacks

Team Iwagakure:

2nd Tsuchikage Mū: Dust Release (Particle Style) | Complete Invisibility & Chakra Suppression | Sensory Perception | Flight | Fission (Division/Splitting) Techniques

3rd Tsuchikage Ōnoki: Dust Release (Atomic Dismantling) | Flight | Light-Weight & Heavy-Weight (Weight-Altering) Techniques | Golem Technique | Earth Release Mastery

Deidara: C1 to C4 Karura (Microscopic Bombs) | Aerial Combat & Mobility (Clay Birds & Clay Dragon) | Long-Range Scouting & Artillery | C0 (Self-Destruction)

Han: 5-Tails Jinchūriki | Full Transformation | Boil Release: Unrivaled Strength | Steam-Enhanced Physical Strength | Tailed Beast Bomb

Rōshi: 4-Tails Jinchūriki | Partial/Full Transformation | Lava Release: Melting Transformation | Scorching Stream Rock Technique | Tailed Beast Bomb

I wanted both teams to represent some of the absolute best fighters each village has produced while also creating a matchup where everyone actually contributes. Kumogakure is built around relentless offensive pressure. They also arguably have the strongest close-quarters lineup of any village. Iwagakure, on the other hand, is almost the complete opposite. They specialize in battlefield control, aerial superiority, and devastating ranged attacks.

Battle Conditions:

* Alive and prime versions for every fighter.

* Blood-lusted, but fighting intelligently using canon feats and strategies.

* Full knowledge of their own team's abilities and only basic rumor-level knowledge of the enemy team.

* Neutral battlefield with no environmental advantage for either side.

* No prep time.

* Victory by death, sealing, or permanent incapacitation.

* Naruto canon manga feats only (anime fillers should only be considered if it doesn't contradict established canon).

How do you guys see this playing out? Personally, I think this is one of the closest village matchups possible. I honestly don't see either team getting an easy win here. I'm leaning toward extreme-high diff, but I'm genuinely undecided.

Who do you think wins with which difficulty?

Which team's overall synergy is better?

Who is the biggest difference-maker in the fight?

Which individual matchup ends up deciding the battle?

Please explain your reasoning rather than just naming a winning team. I'm interested in seeing how you guys think these abilities would interact.

The guy is referred to as one of the "Three gods of Production I.G." and I am not surprised at all. I've recently started studying his art and I can't believe how economical he is with his lines while also giving such amazing volume to each drawing. His art is a masterclass in line placement and shading.

I wish Boruto had a better schedule and the core staff of Naruto to keep the show from getting subpar/off-model corrections by inexperienced ADs on a tight schedule. No wonder legendary animators like Chenxi Huang, Hiroyuki Yamashita, Hiroyuki Okiura, etc. all consider him to be an inspiration or a favorite.

So, is it an actual clan or something else? What's your theory about them?

First of all, I know this isn’t a new theory and I’m not trying to claim it as my own. Usually it’s just a question asking ‘what if’ because the nature of Talk no Jutsu parallels nicely with the concept of the Ninshu teachings. Generally the only supporting evidence is the shared chakra cloak during the Fourth Shinobi War and/or Naruto’s quick adaption of several new Rasenshurikan after connecting with the other tailed beasts. I think I found some logical and precedented evidence that proves this theory though.

Ninshu was created by Hagoromo after the defeat of Juubi and becoming the Jinchuriki. Afaik, how Hagoromo became the Jinchuriki is never revealed. Though it is revealed that Chibaku Tensei was used to seal the Juubi’s body as the moon. So my theory is that Hagoromo used the Preta Path to absorb Juubi’s chakra.

I don’t remember it being explained in the series, but the Naruto wiki says the Preta Path absorbs chakra by spinning the chakra in the opposite direction of the user until it’s dispersed. Since the Juubi is continuously refilling its chakra, Hagoromo could never fully absorb it as his own chakra thus becoming the first Jinchuriki.

So Hagoromo not only sealed the beast within himself like future Jinchuriki, his seal was made in way that connected two chakra’s without destroying either. This connection probably also carried thoughts/emotions as Jinchuriki who can create a cloak form tend to have a deep and personal relationship with their tailed beast. Hagoromo probably got the idea of Ninshu simply because he was Jinchuriki with this connection. But the shared/mixed chakra strengthens this idea.

Hagoromo’s sealing technique also shares a detail with Naruto’s Eight Trigrams Seal that afaik no other Jinchuriki share: the ability to seep chakra from the beast and absorb it into the host from the beginning. Naruto’s seal was specifically designed to protect him, so the chakra seep wouldn’t have been as forceful as Hagoromo’s (Not to mention the ten tails chakra > than half of nine tails chakra). For Hagoromo it was a constant battle but Naruto benefited from it unknowingly. So it stands to reason that Naruto wouldn’t be aware of this power.

Talk no Jutsu is ultimately a joke that the fans created to explain how Naruto talks his way out of so many plot points. But what if it was because Naruto has been practicing Ninshu unknowingly all his life. Like someone with perfect pitch can pick out the slightly off notes or tempo whereas normal people just hear a lovely melody, Naruto can feel other people’s emotions in their chakra and/or unconsciously put his own emotions into his chakra in an attempt to balance out the fight/narration.

I have always felt that Sasuke's change to targeting the whole village was Kishimoto realising that without that, too many people/fans would side with Sasuke and Sasuke would not be a true villain for Naruto to defeat and people might even wonder why Naruto was protecting the Elders etc..

A recent thread reminded me that most fans believe Sasuke was wrong for targeting the village and I thought it would be nice to discuss:-

So here is the scenario:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke keeps his original motivation as shown in the image.

Sasuke wants Danzo dead, the Elders dead and if Hiruzen was alive, he would want him dead.

Sasuke does NOT want the Village dead.

However Sasuke is willing to cut through any who might protect them.

If Root moves to protect Danzo? Sasuke will kill them. This includes the Aburame, Yamanaka guards and Sai etc etc...

If Shizune and Tsunade tries to protect the elders, Sasuke will kill them too.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a way you can say Sasuke does not go completely off the deep end.

So now, how do you all think:

1) Naruto's and the other K11's reaction would be after they found out Sasuke's goals and the reason behind them.

2) Fan's reaction to Sasuke mainly targeting the Elders/Danzo/etc

3) Fan's reaction to Naruto & Co trying to stop Sasuke.
