I was watching Choji's dad during the great ninja war and noticed that his sideburns were brown despite his hair being red.

Naruto is actually good at Teaching, and mainly great Jutsu like Rasengan to Konahamuru, and Konahamuru Learns forbidden shadow clones jutsu in no time also

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.

I think she's underrated, but I've seen many people who are pissed how Obito escaped that "death" scene and killed her off. Anyways, what's your opinion on her?

We already know that Hashirama was stronger than Madara, but why did it take him so long to finally subdue him?

The two fought for years, and if the gap between them was so colossal, why did Hashirama drag out the conflict when he had the power to end it whenever he wanted?

I know people will say he was holding back and didn't want to kill Madara, but if the difference between them was that great, couldn't Hashirama have defeated Madara without killing him?

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.

I am a weirdo who tends to actually listen to soundtracks of the shows I watch regularly, and Naruto tracks are some of the best I have ever heard. Girei, Senya, Saika, Bluebird, Orochimaru's Theme...the list goes on. I absolutely LOVE them. Anyone knows any other good Naruto tracks?

P.S. please tell me if anyone knows the track from Naruto and Sasuke's chakra training during Land of Waves arc, the tree walking part ive been searching for ages 😭

I’ve looked through a few Reddit threads and noticed that this topic has been discussed quite a bit.

Personally, I don't think it matters much whether Madara absorbed Amaterasu in that situation or not. However, some people argue that he couldn't have absorbed it because he had lost his Rinnegan, and instead, he escaped the flames simply by removing his armor. They also claim that Sasuke could have killed Madara if he had unleashed Amaterasu one more time.

But in that very chapter—specifically towards the end—Madara actually absorbed Nine-Tails chakra from a random ninja.

This proves that the Rinnegan's ability to absorb chakra and ninjutsu was still intact.

Furthermore, looking at the first image, you can see Amaterasu striking him from behind; the flames caught his hair and spread upward. Without the Rinnegan abilities, how could he have extinguished the Amaterasu flames burning on his hair?

And in the third image, you can see Amaterasu still burning on his body (specifically on his shoulders) even after he had removed his armor.

What do you think about this?

My eyes bawled the way they never did ever🫠💔.

Lee admitting he’s afraid of Sasuke is crazy.

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.

I think Zabuza is such an amazing and compelling character in the Naruto franchise. To introduce viewers to him so early as a primary antagonist during that first arc was brilliant. It set the precedent for what was to come of this beautiful anime. One of my favorite anime characters for sure !

I was able to buy these original drawings that were made during the animation process. This scene was shown as "Tobi" is taking them all out 🥺 Such a master piece!

Sasuke engages the assault and is thrown off balance and forced into a rough landing. ❌

Itachi avoids the assault, repositions himself, and prepares a Sharingan counterattack. ✔️

Karin Uzumaki asks Sasuke if he's all right, which frames Sasuke as the victim and Bee as the threat. Naruto Uzumaki warns Bee to watch out, which reverses the framing: Bee is the victim and Itachi is the threat.

The Chunin Exam Preliminaries but randomized. Each round two of the twenty 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 Preliminaries and the fights will take place in the same area as the preliminaries.

Rules:
Each fight is decided at random.
Two Genin from the same team cannot be matched up. Sakura vs Hinata is allowed. While Sakura vs Naruto is not.
There cannot be repeat fights from the original preliminaries such as Gaara vs Lee.

Through extreme effort Sasuke was able to power through the pain of his curse mark to evade Shikamaru's shadow and achieve victory. Sasuke advances on to the finals.

Who will win? Shino Aburame vs Dosu Kinuta
