everyone in leaf village is so good average is pretty freaking good
It's as rhetorical as "are you never wrong?"
this is getting way OT, but i'll answer it and i'll be done with it.
of course it's rhetorical. just look at my sig dude. it says it's a fact.
if you got more obvious things to ask me, just PM me, buddy. i'll be glad to answer your questions.
I am a 'n00b', by forum-terms. What is PM (post menstruation?? just kidding)?
EliA stop mouthing off to ppl plz and stop changing the subject topic as u being a n00b has nothing to do about 78 & 79.
Should I open a "what is a PM" topic? Rather not right, could you please tell me how to PM Mut@t@??
I ask this very kindly.
I will admit, Naruto's definitely not Chuunin level. Of the people that took the exam, only Shikamaru and maybe Temari deserve the rank. At least they plan their way through things in fights (although Temari was a rather cocky B**** when fighting Tenten.)
Did anyone else catch when Naruto said "I must protect everybody"? Just relate that quote back to when the 3rd Hokage said the same thing, Naruto is starting to grow and is beginning to have more and more hokage traits.
didn't see 78 or 79 yet, but I also think that naruto is getting more 'responsible'. I have a question, do you see the fifth in above mentioned episodes? I friend told me it will be a woman, is this true?
AHHH!!! shh shh shh! my poor ears...i hate spoilers! no one verify that plz! i dont read the manga, i dont want to know untill i see it!! gurr EliA...you cant say things like that! =(
absolutely no spoilers allowed in the anime forum.
and if you really wanna pm just click on that button
if it's gonna be something stupid...just don't bother.
First of all, Naruto is at a good genin level. He has the power for chuunin rank, but lacks the experience, instinct and brain. So why is this show called Naruto? Because a show without any character development is boring like hell.
To the gamabunta summoning.... Naruto says it himself, he used up his chakra for the mass kage bunshin. In the manga it is clearly shown that he summons bunta with direct kyuubi chakra. Being inside desert funeral is a life threat situation like when he felt off the cliff or even against Haku. Kyuubi's survival instincts kick in at those times without the need for Naruto to explicitly request chakra.
I know he talked to kyuubi in the clii scene, wakattemasu, but believe me on this one.
The things AssertnFail talked about, increased stamina due to a life with the demon fox, are basically results from the manga/open section that we got in endless discussions. Please trust us on this one too, there were a lot of people with a much bigger informational background involved (due to the manga).
Guess ELiA won't make his 30 posts bfore his 1st warning.

Hey! I reacted on the same thing. I think Naruto is the only one with "heart" enough to become the nr 1 ninja in Konoha village.Originally posted by: itsgalf

Everybody talks about him not being a great ninja, but is he all that bad? Is he any worse than Chouji, Hinata, Rock Lee, Tenten, Sakura, Neji or even Sasuke?
The show is probably called "Naruto" because the creatore likes fish cakes so much [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] Oh, probably not... In the end, I think this show is about understanding and growing up as a person with good moral values and other stuff like that. Naruto has been chosen as the person to learn this to the others in this anime. Sakura couldn't have done it, she is to selfabsorbed, Sasuke couldn't do it, he's to vindictive, Rock Lee could have made his own show, but then it wouldn't be Naruto, and it wouldn't be about these things.
This is what i think, and i don't care how weak or strong anybody says that he is, he is the strongest at heart, and that matters more than shit load of crap that comes out of the lot of your mouths.
How do you measure what level somebody is at? Is it documented somewhere? Can you show us? is it even tangible?Originally posted by: Mut@t@
haha look at all these experts come in and speak their minds.
listen guys...i'll address a lot of things.
do i always have to straighten you guys out...? cmon...
naruto is not chuunin worthy or jounin worthy. he is a genin right now for a reason. he has a lot of power, yes it's chuunin/jounin power, but the thing is...if he really did an A rank mission, he'd not only fail but get slaughtered. naruto did not complete a rank A mission, sasuke, kakashi, sakura, AND naruto did. obviously naruto is strong (whether it is hokage's or gamakichi's strength or whatever) but he doesn't have the brains and skills to become a chuunin, let along a jounin. he sucks. i'll say it again, he sucks as a ninja. his ability to fight isn't gonna help me when he runs into someone like haku, zabuza, or orochimaru. naruto will get killed. his ninja skills are border-line mediocre.
"if he really did an A rank mission, he'd not only fail but get slaughtered" -- Just your opinion, only the author of the series knows if its right, purely hypothetical.
Regarding your other "fact", the 80% Kyuubi 20% Naruto thing, then sasuke is 80% Sharingan 20% Sasuke, Neiji is 80% Hyuuga 20% Neiji, and Chouji is 80% Korean BBQ/Ramen and 20% Chouji hahahaha!
I agree with you that Naruto's ninja skills are not the best, but he compensates that with chakra stamina and strength don't you think? I mean, against Haku he deflected the needles with chakra alone, which was quite cool. Yes it comes from kyuubi but he controls it, so its still his advantage, just like sharingan is sasuke's advantage. Everyone has their pluses and minuses I think.
PM is private message. For the question that was asked before
And Mutata should get off his "I've read the manga high horse". Things change from manga to anime. Most recent is when Naruto used Kyubi's chakra. Blue Chakra flame + lack of kyuki flame chakra startup could be a conscious decision by the animators to change around the story a bit.
No I'm pretty sure Naruto summoned the toad boss with his own chakra. At the end, right before his final head butt attack on Gaara, he summons the kyuubi chakra, and you can see that red chakra STARTING to flow through his coils. I doubt Kyuubi will be bothered to give him chakra twice, or that Naruto would NEED kyuubi to give him more power a second time.
Nah. Naruto is still a gennin. Not a Chunnin or even a Jounin.
If you ask me, I wouldn't rank Chunnin's or Jounnin's just based that they can beat strong people. I think we should look at it at a more technical level.
Naruto's basics is very very poor. So is his Chakra control. However non the doubt, he has gargantous ammounts of chakra. (Which some argue he can summon Gammabunta or full Kage bunshin without using the Kyuubi, but there's no point arguing about it).
Not only is his basic's poor. So is his Taijitsu. You look at Rock Lee fighting or even Sasuke fighting. Naruto's fighting style of jumping straight at you with his fist is like seeing a 5 year old kid. I personally think Sakura's Taijitsu can beat the shit out of Naruto. You look back at the battle vs Ino, she controlled her Chakra around her body to run faster and do harder blows.
And as for that. So is his Ninjitsu. Either than his norm (Kage Bunshin, Sexy no Jutsu.. whatever), He doesn't seem to be fighting more intelligently using the other Jutsu's. However Naruto has flashes of brilliance once in a while. If only he is more consistent.
Overall, Naruto is or will be overwhelmingly powerful. Thats why he has the most potential. But he needs to buck up really on the simpler basics. I'm sure if you give a few more years for Jiraiya to train him without disturbances, you would see a monster of a Naruto.
MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
thats just not true though, in multiple battles naruto makes incredibly smart tactical moves during the heat of battle: first battle against zabuza, battle against kiba, battle against gaara etc.
It is true that he doesnt know alot of jutsus, but hes young, and he will learn
I hate to make this comparison, but Naruto is like Goku in some aspects, for instance Goku is a complete idiot but when it comes to the heat of battle, he is ingenious strategically and the same goes for Naruto, he may not know alot of Jutsus or be the brightest, but he has a determination like no other and he is incredibly smart in the heat of battle, hes just rough around the edges
I'd also say Genin is right for Naruto. If some jounin rank guy as big as a mountain comes along and wants to trade chakra blasts, he can beat them. If they act like a ninja he'd probobly never know what killed him. He really never seems to fight that much better than Sakura unless he gets emotional or whatever and then he doesn't really fight any better either, he just hits harder. Naruto is still the man, though.
