Naruto Chapter 553

[Kenco]

in just 3 years you've accomplished about 75% of what I've done over 8 years. Keep it up bro, you'll win the internet soon.

10,006 * .75 = 7504.5 ~ 7831 ... this computes.

I enjoy math.

their is too much going on at the same time. They are cutting details to make the fight seem more real timeish. It's hard to really get the full scope of the war with so many powerful characters in it.

Kishimoto might have bitten off more that he can chew on this one. It is a bit to rushed. What happened to the other Kages? I think he has spread Naruto too thin and neglecting the other characters. It's a dumb move, Naruto is supposed to be dealing with the clone army, isn't he? I thought he was key in dealing with this issue.

Basically what I am getting here is the other 80,000 characters or so are useless in this war and it's a one man show.

edit:

I do think Naruto vs the previous Rikage is a good match up there a lot that can be done with it. Yellow flash's son vs Rikage's father. It's a good opportunity to showcase Naruto's growth in strength.

What I don't get is why bring out the EMO Saske now? Isn't there enough going on?

I look forward to see how all this come together not because I'm excited but because it's curious to see how it will progress.

Think about it, its only a matter of time when it starts to catch up, this is a great opportunity to do filler with the details of the fights, etc.

I hope they do fill in the blanks in the anime there is a lot of material for them to work with. But the manga seems sparse, rushed and chaotic. I honestly have no idea what the intended point of all the mess is (not counting the fact the Madara want to control the world, blah blah blah and such).

[DB_Hunter]

I think Kishi has bitten off more than he can chew, there are too many uber powerful fighters to deal with. Each Kage would probably deserve a mini arc of their own to explain the backstory but we are just whizzing through things. Sasuke being shown was a surprise, as it feels forced due the story already having a lot to deal with.

[Confused_Yamato]

This will just give them a way to drag the anime out another three or four years, putting in filler there to cover what the manga isn't doing. They could have kept Sasuke gone another year or six, I'd have been ok with that. Still wondering what Kabuto's "trump card" is. Where the hell is Bee, anyway?

And I have to say, personally, I've been lurking on this forum for most of the past five years, and I always look for what Assertn has to say. So he wins the e-peen contest in my book. Archangel says a lot of good things too, I just don't look for his posts. Not that I really have to, with as many as he's throwing out there.

.Pfft....my post count owns u both. Now kneel before my 279 po....nvm >_>
Anyways.
I think that that with sasuke joining the fray that this giant war might end abruptly.

He is posting at that speed to make up for the rest of us from 8 years ago who are slacking off. </one post per year>

I actually enjoy this kind of pace. There were so many new characters introduced recently, that I really can't give a damn about any of them really. I'd rather see focus on old main characters while simultaneously quickly wrapping up loose ends around. As said before, more details can and should be churned in in the anime, which is a plus compared to crappy pointless fillers.

Regarding the Rasengan variations, I've come to accept them already and not give a damn about them. It's become Naruto's main attack so it would be boring to just see the exact same rasengan over and over. Plus, I guess the game makers need some sort of official new moves to put into their games, lol. Of course, I'd like to see Naruto develop some sort of unique different technique(s) by himself, but I figure there's still room for that. I am ready to be disappointed though.

Also, with so much "darkness" being mentioned around Sasuke, It would be such a shame if Kish doesn't grow a pair and shows Sasuke slaughtering ninjas left and right. He already did Danzo, but Danzo was portrayed as an "evil man" himself, so that doesn't count. Sasuke is sooo evil, "wooooo", yet he hasn't really killed anyone by his evilness. This of course, makes me believe that he'll turn all goody goody sometime down the road, which sucks.
