Naruto Chapter 529

[Showtimedr]

Not to sound overly negative... but this whole chapter was fucking retarded

This. Kishi clearly doesn't give a fuck anymore. This is filler for the manga. Can you imagine how painful this shit will be when it gets animated?

There really hasn't been much interesting that has happened since Naruto fought the 9 tails.

Shark man's death was cheap. The whole island thing is cheap. The war is so one sided and worthless since none of these fights matter at all. Theoretically Kabuto can resummon all these guys again since he has summonned Deidara twice. No big loss.

Nothing is worth a damn until either the kages or the beast hosts start fighting.

And honestly I would rather see the previous ninja war compared to this b.s. The little perspective we got of the last war through Kakashi Gaiden was way more interesting than any of this 80's sitcom war bullshit.

I just think it's ridiculous that Shikamaru is the default go-to guy in the series any time a strategy that requires half a brain is necessary.

It's because Shikamaru has a full brain. Double the chance of success.

Shikamaru has been known for the complicated ideas. But nearly everyone has shown some good strategies at times, from Jiraiya to Konohamaru. The only character that hasn't really used much in the way of strategy is probably Rock Lee, he just kicks ass, that is his strategy.
