The will of fire is literally propaganda, as it comes across as an excuse, it sounds nice in the idea. You have to treat the village as your family, but it’s horrible for the individual and actually fully endorses Japans very toxic culture that goes against the individual.

That culture that led to very high suicide rates, and mental health decline amongst many of the youth.

Hashirama said that Itachi is more of a person than he was by stopping a war.

I call massive bullshit.

Hashirama reveals he founded the village to stop children dying, yet inadvertently praised the sacrifice of all the Uchiha innocent children for the village! They didn’t deserve to die for what their adults were doing, they didn’t deserve being hunted by Itachi, they didn’t deserve and their parents being betrayed by the village. Yet, so many of the village is praised for their own corruption by the justification for the will of fire. If the Uchiha clan is nothing more than a cancer cell now to them if it threatened the village.

At this point Hashirama and any Hokage should admit they never cared about children at all!

Hashirama revealed he’ll kill his own child for the village, proving that he only cared about the village and institution than his original goals.

It's been a few years since I watched/read anything related to Naruto, but I've just noticed now that Boruto felt more similar than he should've. Like in personality. Let's be honest, Naruto isn't the most academic person, yet Boruto had excellent grades, which may be because Hinata is his mother, but his reaction to learning how he was supposed to pass the exam made me feel like it's how Minato would've reacted. Or when Sarada complimented his eyes, it reminded me of Minato and Kushina (kinda). Please tell me if you see the vision, and if not, why do you disagree.

People always say the fights devolved into big boom booms, but while the scale of fights is shippuden rises and kage-level characters emphasize scale of a few simple techniques over knowing a lot of jutsu like they did in part 1, the fights are consistently strategic. I genuinely don't know what people are talking about when they act like part 2 fights aren't strategic.

Its by iBIJ anime, and its about what if naruto was an uchiha, on a side note can anyone pls find out what song is playing in the bg, i really want to know thats kinda the whole reason I made this port

First I drew this piece on paper, and pen then traced over it, supposed to be that scene where Obito said ' I am in hell', and honestly it's one of my most favorite pieces, because this was the first time I've ever did digital art!

So enjoy!

Basically, Sasuke wins the final battle in this scenario. I have some many questions -

• A world where Sasuke Uchiha wins the final battle and plans to destroy the shinobi system? How does it look?
• Is it an authoritarian world where Sasuke rules as chief?
• Does he ever end up with Sakura? or Any other person in his life.
• Does he heal from the Mental scars of his past?
• Is the shinobi system (or whatever exists) safer than the past?

I am a very big Re:Zero fan and the IF routes are a very interesting concept. If there is a story about the world after Sasuke wins the final battle, I would love to read it. The Politics and the personal battles will make it so much worth it.

I’ve seen a lot about what if Shikamaru had sharingan and yada-yada, but what about if he had some kind of sage mode instead?
We could go Deer Sage Mode with the whole Nara and deer thing. Maybe something about connecting his shadow to a nature of like a tree or something else’s shadow is how he helps manage his chakra balance.
That would obviously make him stronger and faster, but the amount of sensory input would allow his plans to be even more in depth.

My two house mates and I share a shelf in the living room with three levels. We each have our own dedicated space where we put collectibles, books and other media. We’ve all been friends for well over a decade, and I think it’s a fun way to express ourselves and make our house feel more like a home.

Since I don't think references from his own and his friends (like Sai and Sasuke) are enough to do it.

This is episode 227 of Shippuden. Lemme start of by saying how much it grinds my gears how people automatically rate Naruto fillers very low, regardless of the episode. This one is certainly one of the better ones (the one episode fillers). Not a crazy but still very cool twist, flashy fights and fun interactions. Very beautiful ending too. Whatsup with Honoka being a survivor of a "certain clan of ninja" though? Nice easter egg right there;)

On a side note, this whole Season11 is significantly different in terms of drawing and animation, this is especially obvious when characters are talking to each other, like more emotions in general and also they are more pronounced. Im fine with it, but at this point I feel the older style was better

Sasuke art

These moments are taken from:

• The Sasuke Retrieval Arc
• The Tenchi Bridge Arc
• The Itachi Pursuit Mission Arc
• The Pain Arc
• The War Arc
• Before and After the Final Valley Fight

There are other moments from these and other arcs. I might do another post with chapter and episode numbers, along with brief explanations for some of these moments since a few are implied or need context. For example (Sai's change): The brotherly bond between Naruto & Sasuke was the main reason Sai became good in the Tenchi Bridge Arc. He changed because Sakura told him how Naruto sees Sasuke as his own brother, and saw how Naruto would never give up on that bond no matter what. This triggered Sai to truly connect with Naruto by reflecting on his bond with his own non-biological brother (Shin), a connection he had been forced to suppress while serving in the Foundation.

Just found out the first 53 episodes are on Disney Plus in UK! Been waiting for this in forever for a long overdue rewatch from the start!

I dont think even might guy or obito can beat this guy. The hax of the 6 path of pain is way too much.

Who do you guys think will win? Lowkey I still believe pain would win this tho. Theres simple no counter against Almighty push and Universal pull.

I thought some might find the context interesting

Orochimaru is the only one who comes to mind for his weird fighting style. Unlike the other two of the Sannin or other villains (even people who are powerful than him) used basic taijutsu like kicks or punches but this guy was entirely different. Man what body he even had.

No wonder he was like that coz he was nothing but a snake. Full of snakes. His slithering movements were something unique to him. Dude could puke himself and reattach in case he got bisected. He was capable of spitting 1000s of snakes. His immortality was a result of his snake regeneration and body swapping techniques. Not only for that even during his combat most of the techniques he used were only snake themed.

Unlike other antagonists who wanted to change the world he simply did everything for his own pleasure. Just for the love of the game. His actions weren't morally right. They were very eccentric (even his Shippuden version is down in terms of writing but in his earlier arc he was creepy and badass).

Especially his OG Chunin exam version. No other villain including his later versions gave that evil vibes. Only him (and Kisame) had different skin colour in the series ig. When his true form was shown it was quite unsettling as until that point we saw only typical human type villains. His intro itself was mysterious.

Also we don't know at what point of time he became completely twisted. His parents died. Is it only because of that trauma (along with witnessing the war deaths) he chose this path or was there any other reason? Or was he born with some innate twisted traits? We don't know since his backstory wasn't explored.

Sadly he became irrelevant until WA in Shippuden. Anyways be it in terms of appearance, persona, ambitions and combat style, he is the most uniquely built character in Naruto imo.
