Which Character do you think has the most potential

**Shadow** · Wed, 07-07-2004, 10:17 PM

to anybody who says haku has t he most potential, haku this, and haku that, its OBVIOUS that thats ur favorite charachter like Rock Lee is Rock Lee69's favorite character. haku may be strong yea i agree wit that, but just cuz he has his advance bloodline. For those that say that haku was gonna beat naruto if it wasnt for that kyubi shit, well think of it like this, who would win, haku w/o his advance bloodline or naruto w/o kyubi. Think of kyubi as narutos version of an advance bloodline, haku may have that ice advance bloodline but against naruto with kyubi, he stands no chance.

Not saying they're weak, just saying they're done growing.

You realize that kakashi is closer in age to the genins than he is to jiraiya right (genins 10-12, kakashi 26, jiraiya 50. Do the math). Also, it's my theory that no one ever reaches they're true potential, and I think it holds true for the ninjas in naruto. So, it's possible for every single ninja out there to get stronger, meaning, they still have potential.

oh yea, rock lee i would have to say has the most potential, think about it, he's the hardest working person there, he even works harder than naruto. For God's sake he had a broken arm and broken leg and was out there in the blazing heat sweating his ass off doing 1 handed push ups. Also, remember the flashback when we was a lil kid wit his funny lookin hair cut, when gai saw him training in the very morning and at night came back and he was still there, and he did that for days and thats hardwork. And plus, his hard working will increase his potential and we already know wat he can do. Rock Lee has the most potential cuz of his hardwork but seriously, he is the most underrated character in the anime, but of course naruto will end up wit the most potential since it IS his anime, just read the name of the anime.

i don't think a lot of you even know what potential really means (i'm not just pointing at shadow). rock lee doing push ups with broken leg and arm has nothing to do with potential and has more to do with stupidity and determination. lee working hard at anything is just determination.

excluding naruto, the one with the most potential is obviously sasuke. he IS gonna beat itachi. and don't give me crap about how he hasn't mastered his bloodline like neji has with his and how that makes sasuke with lesser potential than neji.

EDIT: response to below:

i do mind. =D

If you don't mind my asking, what do you consider potential to be?

edit: heh.

**Xein** · Wed, 07-07-2004, 11:57 PM

Potential has nothing to do with how much work you do... Yeah lee is like "a genius can be beaten by hardwork" This is very true, because if the genius is lazy he hasnt reached his potential, but this doesnt mean he has more potential he has just used what he was given better...But in time the genius will surpass him, That's why lee can never compare to someone like sasuke or naruto in the future...

**thundrakkon** · Thu, 07-08-2004, 01:07 AM

Potential, from my understanding on this topic, is the probability that a fighter has to become stronger and more powerful. From that same line of logic, you could have potential if you are a genius and gifted with natural abilities. However, if you work hard enough, you could have the potential to surpass geniuses who do nothing to improve themselves.

Besides Naruto (which I think is unfair to list since he has unlimited potential with the nine-tail's infinite chakra), my vote goes to Haku, since he displayed more ability at such a young age than the others. He was both intelligent and strong. He also had a good heart and was caring. Those feelings could lead him to become even stronger, like Naruto did against Gaara for Sakura and Sasuke.

Btw, way to go ShinobiNeko! 186 posts so far for your topic!

shikamaru!!!

**kakashi_gurl** · Thu, 07-08-2004, 01:21 PM

obviously naruto...but of course..i didnt vote for naruto cuz thats cheap...even tho sasuke isnt my fave charc..and i absolutely dispise him...and think he's juz a stupid ass show off..i voted for him..cuz he's smart and strong..

i personally think HARUNO SAKURA HAS NO POTENTIAL WHAT SO EVER!!

**Rock_Lee69** · Thu, 07-08-2004, 10:19 PM

Honestly, i'm against Sasuke because he's way too head strong in battle, and, come on; do you honestly think that he could beat Gaara or Neji? Neji would knock the $hit outta him, and Gaara's already proven that he's MORE than a match for Sasuke! The only possible hope i see for Sasuke is if he learns those 3 (2 known so far) bad A$$ moves that Itachi knows. Than I'd say he's definately near the top.

**Rock_Lee69** · Thu, 07-08-2004, 10:22 PM

P.S. Naruto's not a genius, he's a hard worker like Rock Lee

**AngryGumball** · Fri, 07-09-2004, 07:34 PM

I agree Sakura has the most potential just because we have not seen her do anything, she must have potential otherwise she wouldn't have been suggested by Kakashi to take the middle exam. He is smart enough and cares enough to not willingly just risk her life for nothing if she did not feel she had potential.
We have just never seen it.

Does anything else think its flat out wrong that Sasuke simply learned to move as fast as Lee? Are their any limitations to Sharingan copying abilities, and how does Sharingan simply copy fast movement thats not a technique thats just work, and becoming as fast as Lee in one month, no way do I buy that. I hated that part of the creative development process with sasuke. If he was able to move so fast why didn't he use it against Itachi, its like it was forgotten. Sasuke does not give me the feeling that he earned his powers or uses them well enough to make me go wow for him. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

**Uchiha Barles** · Fri, 07-09-2004, 07:52 PM

I think it's fine that Sasuke got the speed and the techniques. He used his sharingan to copy the techniques, which is rock's fighting style. The speed though came from his own training. Because of who Sasuke is (one of the main characters, sharingan user, brother of Uchiha "badass" Itachi), I find it acceptable that he obtained that speed. Oh, and it also serves to show that Sasuke is more than just his sharingan. Even without it he probably would be able to mature to a ninja that's way better than average (assuming everything else about him stayed the same.)

i don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. fortunately, uchiha barles explained it clearly and did a pretty nice job.

**jing** · Fri, 07-09-2004, 11:06 PM

However, Naruto is no where near the level of Lee's hardworking.

Naruto ain't a genius, but he got kyubi in his stomach and alot of chakra. thats why he has potential. lots of chakra=badass in the world of naruto.

**ShinobiNeko** · Fri, 07-09-2004, 11:54 PM

I think sakura has the least potential, with all the other characters out there, they are much more interesting and have more potential. And I kind of agree with what Rock_Lee 69 said about Sasuke

**Rock_Lee69** · Fri, 07-09-2004, 11:56 PM

AngryGumball, I'm totally with you. Sasuke, as i mentioned before, is too head strong to use his abilities correctly. I have to disagree with you on the statement you said saying "how does Sharingan simply copy fast movement thats not a technique thats just work" Well...one of the sharingan's abilities is to copy Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu. That's how Sasuke was able to do those fairly decent combo's in the Preliminary matches. Rock Lee said "Sasuke copied my movements when we were fighting". Though, i still agree, in a month, they really over did his speed. Like Lee Said "He's got my speed, but doesn't have the stamina to keep it up". So in other words, he goes all out, only to leave himself helpless if the battle ensues long enough. That's why i say he's headstrong and i don't consider him a high ranking quality fighter. Sure, when he takes the time to think, he actually pulles of successful stategy's, but most of the time, his vengeful rage towards his brother takes over, and leaves him only to fall into someone else's power.

**Uchiha Barles** · Sat, 07-10-2004, 12:17 AM

Sasuke, headstrong? I'm not going to deny that, but I have to say that so far, it's had absolutely no effect in any of his battles. He's a calculating fighter, measuring up the opponent's abilities, finding ways to counter and attack. Actually, that goes for pretty much every ninja (including Naruto, who is the truly headstrong one). I just don't see how you can say that Sasuke doesn't use his abilities correctly. He lost four fights, one to naruto (early eps, not even a real fight), one to Haku (which he it looked like he was going to win, until Haku went for Naruto), one to Orochimaru (and he was able to show his brilliance in that fight, even if he did lose) and one to Gaara (because unlike Naruto, Sasuke simply doesn't have anything that can compare to the power of a demon.) Except for first "fight", Sasuke showed that he's one of the best genin around. His "headstrongness" has never played a factor. Oh, and about that hatred thing...It saved his life against gaara by bringing out the cursed seal. I almost wish Naruto didn't show up to just to see how far Sasuke could've went.

About the speed. One of the reasons Sasuke probably can't keep the speed up for long is that he's so new to that type of speed. With more training, his body will get stronger and he'll be able to make better use out of it. Even rock was tired from all the fighting after awhile. Also, him acquiring the speed in a month is an amazing accomplishment, something that had nothing to do with his sharingan (although the taijutsu did), and something that few, if any of the other genins could've done. Sasuke owns, and is definately one of the top genin. About beating neiji, I'm pretty sure it would be an awesome matchup that could go either way.

**Masakari** · Sat, 07-10-2004, 12:38 AM

Barles, not that I disagree with you, but when Naruto fought Gaara, he very rarely used the nine-tail's chakra. He forced Gaara to reveal his true form before he even touched the nine-tail's chakra. (And when he summoned, you don't see his chakra color because he's covered in sand, and we don't see him outright asking for chakra like he has been doing, and near the end of the fight while fighting on top of gamabunta. Basically speculating that Naruto may not need the nine-tail's to summon the frog boss, though he still needs that dire situation giving him the pressure to do it).

I doubt Sasuke could've gone further than he did though, when Naruto was in danger of being crushed by Gaara's sand (right before he summoned) Sasuke tried to move and save him but he couldn't. Now I know Sasuke isn't the most upright fellow, but he would at least try to save Naruto.

And about Sasuke's speed, yeah if I remember right Rock Lee made a comment on how Sasuke probably couldn't hold the speed for very long, but he was still amazed how quick he had gotten.

**Mut** · Sat, 07-10-2004, 12:50 AM

naruto used the kyubi chakra couple of times during the gaara fight. naruto cannot summon gamabunta without kyubi chakra.
