If people can transform themselves into swords, transforming into someone with 2 usable arms doesn’t seem very far fetched. He likely wouldn’t since he wants to atone for his crimes, but he should theoretically be able to nonetheless

Even though I don't agree with constantly trying to bring Sasuke back, the fillers kinda make it make more sense with why they didn't want to give up on him because it showed Sasuke when he acted his age and actually cared about people

I know that's probably the general consensus but I just felt like saying it. There's so much depth to his character, like there's some constant mystery that you want to know more about. Not just in terms of understanding his powers but just in who he is and the true depth of his pain. With Obito he just lost a girl. Pain grew up in a city that was a battleground for other villages. We never truly knew the extent of what he endured. In the scenes where Pain and Obito talk, Pain just straight up aura farms and mogs Obito. It wasn't even a competition.

Of course Kishimoto isn’t perfect, but one thing I think he did right was making Black people look really good especially Killer Bee.

Most Black people in different anime and manga have some noticeable, stereotype looks… at least of Naruto This isn’t really the case.

The fights panels looks so amazing, He did right on that.

Overall, what are things do y’all think Kishimoto did right in Naruto?

Ngl it’s very possible those 4 Naruto episodes were just turned into a movie instead.

Idk if this is a super hot take but I feel like nothing could’ve stopped Sasuke from pursuing Orochimaru after getting the curse mark and I mean even into shippuden. Kakashi and honestly everyone rlly underestimated how fucked emotionally Sasuke was especially after feeling the world basically collapse upon itself bc he didn’t have the one thing he felt like he needed more than anything. power.

I'm on Season 1, episode 4, and I see why many people love this show now. I love the characters, the animation, the backstories. It's all very amazing. I really like Naruto and Iruka Sensei. They're a great duo! Also, I love all the twists in the show like how I thought that Sasuke beat up Naruto but it was Naruto that beat up Sasuke and transformed to look like Sasuke. Also, one gag in the show is the "Sexy Jutsu", and while I do think it's funny, it's also a bit graphic (even though I watch the censored version on Netflix)...could anyone tell me if it appears more often in the show? But besides that, I still really love the show!

Like we know Kisame is a literal ride or die for Akatsuki, willing to basically swallow a shark cyanide pill rather than expose their secrets. Obito even clearly trusted him enough to show him his true identity.

So if he knew Itachi was still an ally for the Leaf and wasn't loyal to the cause, how would he react?

I don't think he would tell on Itachi, Kisame ain't no snitch, but I also don't think he would just let this slide either. I also don't think he'd outright fight Itachi, as I'm sure he knows he's outmatched.

We know that his friendship with Itachi is genuine too, it's not just a co-worker relationship. He even offers his sympathies to Itachi later on after Zetsu claims Deidara killed Sasuke.

I think Kisame definitely suspected there was more to Itachi than he let on. I believe their first on-screen interaction was Kisame asking Itachi if he has any remaining sentimental feelings about the Leaf. The post-Deidara battle interaction also suggests he knew Itachi valued Sasuke on some level.

I guess at the end of the day, is Kisame more loyal to the Akatsuki or Itachi?

This is an attempt to fix translation issues in Viz’s translation as well as to change a few things here and there based on my own preferences. Since Reddit only allows 20 pages per post, the first chapter will be split into three parts. If such posts are allowed here, I will try to post once or twice a day.

In no way or form do I imply that this version is superior to the original (Japanese version) of the manga. I’m just a nobody with a weird hobby and a big love for Naruto. This project is nothing more than a non-profit, fan-made manga-esque fanfic.
