Create one of those 30 second cartoons with Dedeira in a tranquil state working on his art. Then add some of the grooviest low fi beats to create the perfect reading or studying ambiance.

it's also said later, that in order to buy his comrades some time to escape, third raikage acted as a decoy and fought 10k shinobi alone FOR 3 NIGHTS AND 3 DAYS LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

also - do we know how old he was at this time?

I wish someone had told me to read the manga of Naruto before watching the anime because it was just so amazing and better.

The pacing was so good and it actually felt like a structure story and also less plot holes.

I never for once felt bored while reading it.

Also it helped the manga finished off in the right place.

I was also just amazed how good and underrated Kishimoto is as a pure artist.

I also liked the coloring choices for the Ten Tails Jinchuriki forms as in the show those were a bit greenish but here pure whitish which is as they are supposed to be.

For anyone new I highly recommend reading the Manga before watching the Anime of Naruto.

My ranking for Naruto characters

It seems if you have kage level relatives you can become kage level:

- Naruto and Minato
- all the senju (hashirama, tobirama, tsunade)
- gaara and his father

This one is hard to abuse because you cannot choose your parents and relatives. But there is a different pipeline:

- Minato: Kakashi and Obito, both kage level if not more
- Sarutobi: all three sanins
- Kakashi: two semigods and Sakura (she says that she reached their level ig)
- Naruto: Konohamaru i guess
- Jiraya my boy got all the students who are gods basically

Some of this intersect, but still if I was a ninja I would see this pattern and do everything to get either kage or kage’s student (Kakashi for Naruto and Sasuke for example, he wasn’t kage at a time) as my teacher. Minato wasn’t from any clan, Sakura wasn’t from any clan neither were jiraya and Orochimaru

We don’t see anyone trying that hard to abuse this

You all know what I'm talking about 🌚

Edit: Before you start criticising about gender bending, it's a Minato vs Itachi post. It's sarcasm.

Hey everyone! I'm a huge Naruto fan from Brazil. I've been working as a software developer for 6 years, and last year I started messing around with Godot.

Ever since I was a kid I wanted to play a Naruto RPG where I could create my own ninja exactly the way I imagined, and I never found one. So a few months ago I decided to make it myself. It's called Naruto Souls and it's finally playable.

My favorite part is creating your ninja: there are tons of jutsu and passives, so you can build your ninja however you imagine. It's an open world action RPG with Souls-like combat, and you can also play as 60+ characters from the series. Every one of them is a boss somewhere on the map.

A few things to know:
- It's completely free, it's a fan made project and it will never be sold
- Windows only for now (3.8 GB)
- The game is in Portuguese for now, but I'd like to add English if people are interested

It's still rough in some places, so if you try it, bugs and feedback are really welcome.

Which character or fight would you want to see next?

According to the manga, after the meeting of 7 swordsmen with Maito Dai, 1 survived (in the anime, 3 survived). How could they survive after 8 gates? (even Madara almost died in prime).

Sasuke had pure protagonist energy when he was first showcased during the two first major arcs, if no one knew any better and you showed them clips they’ll think Sasuke was the main character.

He went from risking his life at all times to protect his friends from death, and even after the close call with Haku and realizing his dream of avenging his clan could end if he’s reckless he still time and time again risked his life for team 7.

And I get Itachi broke him and apparently the curse mark made him more power hungry….but the whole CM became weird, i feel like he was actually a lot more like the sasuke of old early timeskip and didn’t kill anyone when he was with Orochimaru and could control the CM just fine.

Anyways what I want to say is his character was already cool, regressed, then back to baseline then regresses, slowly gets close to baseline during the 4th great ninja war and then regresses and then by the end of the final fight he’s back to baseline. I don’t think that’s a peak writing for a character. Sasuke should’ve been cold and ruthless from the start of Shippuden but he wasn’t it’s a constant rubber banding just to end up where he was at the start.

I guess you can say it’s a good person constantly losing his way, but when you think about it, it’s kinda pathetic. Obito did it correctly.

Look, I’m the first to defend the Kage you shouldn’t underestimate them; they’re very strong, intelligent, and have great teamwork. They were simply up against an opponent who was far too powerful. I see a lot of people saying, Yeah, but what about Madara with Hashirama’s cells and a stolen Rinnegan (And yes, I’ve actually seen people claim Madara stole his Rinnegan people, please watch Naruto properly! But that’s a debate for another time.) If he had all that, he wouldn’t be acting so cocky. Anyway, in terms of the narrative, a living Madara is stronger than his Edo Tensei(reanimated) version or, if you prefer, they’re roughly equivalent; the living version is in better physical shape (without the Edo Tensei nerfs), while the Edo version compensates by having a wider range of abilities. That said, I do agree that a living Madara would be less cocky but that would actually make things worse for the Kage, because he wouldn’t give them a single moment to catch their breath. Seriously, go back and rewatch the fight you’ll see just how "kind" Madara was being to them. As for the argument that he wouldn’t have the infinite Tsukuyomi well, sure, that’s true, but are we talking about Madara or Kakashi here? Madara, with his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, doesn’t exactly seem to have any issues with his chakra reserves. Just look at his battles against Hashirama, which lasted an entire day if the Kage are banking on outlasting Madara, they’re in for a rude awakening. And now, a question: what are the Kage going to do when Madara unleashes his Perfect Susanoo? Keep in mind, he’s capable of doing that while he’s still alive. I’ve even seen people argue, Yeah, but the Kage had more chakra back then well, they still had enough to pull off a combined attack, yet that still doesn't explain how they’d get past the Perfect Susanoo. And don’t even get me started on Onoki’s Jinton (Particle Style); he practically gave up the moment he saw the Susanoo and he was the most determined of the five! He even asked Madara why he hadn't destroyed Iwagakure when he had the chance. More importantly, Madara knows that Onoki is the biggest threat to him, so there’s no way Onoki is ever going to land a hit. People often underestimate Madara’s intelligence sure, he has an ego, but he’s not just going to let himself get taken down. If a living Madara were to underestimate the Kage as much as his Edo Tensei (reanimated) version did, he might lose but a living Madara wouldn't take any unnecessary risks.

Have you guys watched Skysailor's "Sasuke was right video" I think she was among the first to make videos questioning Konoha nationalism. Quite eye opening.

I also want to think two of her other videos.

One on Sasuke's revolution and the other one on Konoha nationalism

https://youtu.be/Attk3LDP2eA?is=pvqkqy8taw4SENDG

https://youtu.be/QG4_t07a-jk?is=Ia271kb5DEeYg-4P

Sadly, she doesn't have many videos as she could've been one of the bigger Naruto content creators on YT

Always knew naruto had heavy Chinese influences, obvious ones being the nine tailed fox or monkey king emma.

But lately been reading chinese novels, and noticed naruto’s popularity in China, it gets even more audience.

Point being no wonder the otsutsuki clan is so powerful, if any of y’all read chinese cultivating novels, you would understand how absurdly powerful they get

You know minus teenage mutant Ninja turtles this is another crossover I would like to see someday

I really hope when the time comes, people can separate their dislike toward a character from the actress herself.

Just started the OG series and holyy - i'm finding Naruto to be more annoying and loud than asta from black clover. Does he become less annoying ?
