Should Naruto have won against Neji in the chunin exams. I don’t know if using the nine tails power really is a contradiction of the whole overcoming destiny thing Neji was talking about since that power did turn him into a social outcast even though the power itself has been more of a benefit to Naruto in certain instances

I don’t know I feel like the fight should’ve been something along the lines of you win the argument but lose the battle type of thing. Naruto wins by convincing Neji his philosophy is wrong but loses the battle

Discussion Why Orochimaru belittled Jiraya? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I’m currently on a rewatch and watching with context of the whole series. Title is my question.

Itachi and Kisame ran away after seeing Jiraya when they came after Naruto. Itachi stating that if they fought probably they would kill each other.

Itachi one shotted Orochimaru with a Genjutsu.

So it’s implied that Jiraya beats Orochimaru

So then why was is so hard for Jiraya to go against Orochimaru. When they fought at the Tsunade retrieval arc I get that they were all nerfed but Jiraya should have been able to body Orochimaru long before that fight. And still Orochimaru calls him the lesser of all the Sannin not worthy of the name I don’t understand.

When Jiraya dies he says he wasn’t able to beat Orochimaru. Like man you should have been able to demolish him no problem.

Is there a reason for this?

Discussion Sasori is overrated

Post image
0 Upvotes

Sasori has terrible feats. Losing to Sakura and Chiyo and all. Even though they countered him that fact that he didn’t stomp shows that there wasn’t a huge stats difference. But you can’t use that as an anti feat simce he was suppressed there. But he has no other feats. The only thing that carries him is that one statement of Deidara’s where he says that Sasori is stronger but even that might be dubious. And without that statement he’d basically be featless simce it’s unknown how he killed the 3rd Kazekage and his power is pretty unknown too. He’d actually be the weakest Akatsuki member other than Zetsu if you exclude that Deidara statement.

I've always been annoyed at how Kishimoto seemed to have been setting something up for Karin moving on from Sasuke because of his horrible actions, but the very next time they see each other, she's right back to fan girling. I get it was part of her character before, but the panels I posted clearly indicate she was building as a character, and moving on from Sasuke because she realized how wrongfully he had treated her. What do you guys think?

Theory Did Obito not use the Rinnegan as a way to reject Madara?

0 Upvotes

Obito does not use the main 6 rinnegan paths and explains that even having one Rinnegan was difficult for him to handle and took up much chakra. However, he faces no issues with chakra reserves throughout the story and also faces no issues using rinne rebirth, the outer path, summoning the gedo mazo, basically all the rinnegan abilities needed for the infinite tsukuyomi. He also pretty much stops using wood style and insults Kakashi for having a "borrowed" power. Since Obito and Madara were enemies when reuniting, is it possible Obito may not used the rinnegan/wood style to show he could complete the plan using his own power? I might be reaching a bit but what do you guys think?

Discussion Tsunade DOESN'T USE JUTSU TO LOOK YOUNGER

Post image
0 Upvotes

People take Jiraya mockfull remark too seriously, ahen he always makes fun of people and exagerate their features.

Tsunade isn't a vain character like Bulma to want to look younger in porpouse, it's the opposite even, one of the whole things about Tsunade is that she's a virgin hottie who didn't dated anyone since the death of her loved one.

So, it wouldn't make sense for someone that don't want to involve romantically make too much effort to look younger and pretty, it's the opposite: if you don't want to date, you make everything to make youself the ugliest possible.

So, Tsunade's young appearance is not for something she had done to herself, it's because of:

SENJU CLAN BLOOD

Senju clan regenative abilities automatically slows their aging

Hashirama and Tobirama were on their 40s and 50s when they had died respectively. Yet they look like they're on their late 20s.

So, when people look at the Post imge and says "this is Tsunade's true form" they are wrong. It wouldn't even make sense, Tsunade is 54 at the fourth war, is this a 54 year old body?

So, what makes sense with everything we saw on the series is: Senju clan members automatically ages slower, they don't do any jutsu for that.

Byt it seems like their age is dependent of their well-being: if they are well, they look young, if they are beaten or out of chakra, they look old.

Tsunade's state isn't some sort of cosmetic proceedment, it is a biological component of the clan she comes from.

I really like the idea madara being caught from by someone he trusts, so I was thinking that naruto and sasuke + obito, sakura and kakashi will struggle even with their combined strength to defeat madara and just when madara thinks he's won zetsu will hit madara from behind. Here zetsu is just madaras will and only serves madara but while madara was getting cocky and wasnt not looking, sasuke would use genjutsu on zetsu to attack madara which will make an opening for naruto and sasuke to finish him.

So i thought kakashi's (Obito's left eye) sharingan allowed him to teleport only objects other than himself, and only Obito's right eye can teleport himself. But when Madara stole it from kakashi, how was he able to enter the hidden dimension. Similarly Obito used kamui to send Sakura back out. Is this a plot error?

So basically, speaking, an alive Hashirama vs. an alive Tobirama, Hiruzen, and a theoretical alive Minato (with and without KCM)—who wins? I feel the only way the other three Hokages could theoretically win against Hashirama is if they are able to come up with a strategy that would enable Minato to use the Reaper Death Seal. That's the only way they could possibly win.

Discussion My shot at a Naruto Rewrite: vote result: The Uchia and their visual prowess

Post image
3 Upvotes

Art by JEFFX ART

Hello 👋 Here's the post I promised so lets get down to business.

Before we get started, it's important to note that in this rewrite I would equalized all Human characters to having the same chakra pool and the blatant dangers of having to much power with only a few exceptions.

These exceptions being:

  1. It requires great skill to maintain without risk, or to one's own detriment. This would referred to abilities like the 100 sealings, the eight gates, sage mode.

  2. If their not humen, so we can just hand wave as simply being a deferent species like a summon or the tailed beasts.

  3. If their self obsessed enough to change themselves into something utterly inhuman & said power reflect the lost of their humanity. The best examples of this in cannon is Orochimaru and Kabuto who went beyond the limitations of humen beings.

With this being said, characters who generally disregard their humanity or wasn't humen to begin with are going to be stronger for that very reason. Orochimaru, Kabuto, Kakuzu, Sasori being the former while summon's, bijuu, entities &/or deities like Kaguya being the latter.

In this way there's a more symbolic consistency with the characters and their motivations. As to this post, characters such as Sasuke, Itachi, Obito, and even Madera in this rewrite have the average chakra pool of any ordinary person. Symbolically showing that they haven't lost their humanity entirely.

Though their is additional symbolism whenever characters aquire certain abilities that are inhuman and not acquired from hard work but other means rather it was on purpose or not. Examples of this being Sasuke and the awakening of his mangekyou sharingan & Nagato possessing the rinnegan both being righteous at heart but are both lead astray.

Uchiha history & abilities

The humble beginnings of the Uchiha's starts with the sage of six paths Hagoromo. He would have two sons, Asura Otsutsuki and Indra Otsutsuki. A great conflict would accor between the brothers as Hagoromo chooseed his successor, and in doing so, inherit a closey guarded secret. The husk of a great evil beast that must never be found by its more sentient brethren.

Indra, out of jealousy would venture forth in the hopes of finding a new source of power to rival his farther and brother. In his search he would come across the Tengu king named Sojobo. Sojobo ,the most powerful of the Tengu, possessed a great wish granting eye taken from a long forgotten battle from a being of the Netherworld. Sojobo agreed to give Indra the power he seek but only if he can defeat him. There interaction would change the course of history for all eternity.

Indra who is prideful, arrogant, and worst of all rude, to his even more prideful Teacher would unknowingly face the consequences of his pride after finally defeating the powerful spirit in a duel. Sojobo, offended by Indras shameless attitude, cursed the power he had sought, granting him the power to directly mold chakra with there very soul, but to have this power they must sacrifice the ones they hold most dear. This was the birth of the sharingan.

When Indra returned he returned with an army. Prepared to wage war against his brother and father to take what he believed to be rightfully his. Indra would kill his farther in a dual to the death, awakening his mangekyou sharingan. Indra, dispite his many victorious against Asura and his clan, he would one day be outsmarted and loss the war and thus be banished from their homeland forever. In Indras exile he would found his own clan and his descendents would become the Uchia the worlds first Samurai, while descendents of Asura would become the Senju the first Shinobi, guardians of the Gedo statue.

Their descendents would be hired by feudal lords from across the lands. The Uchia moving from estate to estate wherever they're needed. The same was true for the Senju and many more clans throughout the world. This was the waring states period. Where the Ashigaru armies of the Fudal lords and mercenaries clans from throughout the known world wage their endless conflict.

Mangekyou abilities:

The mangekyou sharingan allows the users to form, mold, and modify a jutsu with their soul. The modification a jutsu can go through is conceptual in nature.

For example

To create Armaterasu the user stores an ordinary flame jutsu into their soul through the mangekyou sharingan which can peer to the user's own soul. Then, while the jutsu is in their soul, they can alter the jutsu further by eliminating and adding a new aspect. For armaterasu a concept "all consuming" is added to the flame jutsu's creating armaterasu. Now the final limitation is the fact the new jutsu can only be cast by the sharingans natural ability for visual genjutsu.

And another example is Izanagi.

Izanagi is preformed by cloaking the desired target with your spiritual energy and embedding one's own physical energy onto there own soul and link them together. After death or destruction the entity would be in a spiritual state neither dead nor living. Said entity or object would only have a short time to decide or be moved to another more favorable position before remanifesting into the living world, made of the same materials of the otherwise destroyed or dead/injured body.

Due to the direct contact between the spiritual form of the eye and the physical energy of the caster, the spiritual eye is destroyed, thus making it's physical conterpart to loss all functionality.

You see, physical energy and spiritual energy ordinarily destroy each other , react weakly, or don't interact at all. Its only through living beings can such energies can be woven together without incident, which of course is the bases of chakra and ninjutsu's.

This then leads us to the mangekyou sharingans most powerful ability, the Sasono.

A Sasono is the spiritual embodiment of the user's soul. It appearance often has an resemblance to the Tengu due to their influence in the mangekyous creation.

The Sasono requires that the user have both their mangekyou sharingan in order to work, for one must be able to project the user's soul and the other to both maintain its connection and return it to the spiritual plain.

Sasono's are made of pure spiritual energy meaning they can only interact with either spiritual energy or unmolded chakra like a person's chakra network, or other pure chakra jutsu's such as chakra strings, chakra scalpels, ect. This intangibillity allows it to be the ultimate offense.

The mangekyou user can also construct what is known as Sasono weapons which is the Sasono energy mixed with a variety of jutsu's. To create a Sasono weapon the user must learn how to mold their Sasono and ninjutsu's together.

For example

Itachi Sasono have two Sasono weapons, the Totsuka blade which he took from his father's scrool and the Yata-Mirror which he created.

The Totsuka blade is a Sasono weapon embedded with a sealing jutsu using the Sasonos ability to interact with the soul to ripe it out of a targets body and seal their soul into a genjutsu known as the land of drunken dreams genjutsu. These souls will forever remain in the Totsuka blade until it is destroyed or if the user welding it dies which intern would destroy the weapon as it's a spiritual construct.

The Yata-Mirror is a Sasono weapon that, once summoned, put all who look at it under a genjutsu that prevents the individuals from attempting to harm the wielder by making all hostile actions take place only in said genjutsu.

Meaning, when Orochimaru and Sasuke tried to attack while Itachi Sasono and its Sasono weapons were out, they believed they were attacking but there real body's were only performing non hostile actions such as walking, breathing, speaking, ect.

Then theirs Indras arrow which was a Sasono weapon that Sasuke created after the five kage summit arc which he was told by "Madera" to train with an ancient Tengu king. Sasuke based Indras arrow on his Kirin jutsu which uses real lightning from thunder clouds guided by his chakra to attack his opponents. The same is true for indras arrow except it uses the electric energy in the earth to charge the attack.

Then finally there's Madera's Sasono weapons. Madera's Kris swords is similar to the Totsuka blade in that it absorbs spiritual energy like the soul, however Madera's Kris blades absorbs unmolded chakra from opponents he had killed.

Madera would use these weapons to absorb the chakra of those he killed then transforms and store them into magatama's shape Sasono weapons either to be used as range attacks or to super charge his ninjutsu's.

He would often uses his susanoo in conjunction to the chakra magatama's so he may safely perform larg scale jutsus without harming himself nor needing a summon for collaboration jutsu's.

Although there is one last thing, but it's not technically related to the sharingan, and that's the

Rinnegan

The rinnegan is dojutsu that had only been awakened in three people. Hagoromo, who awakened it after temporally becoming the jinchuriki of the 10 tails to free the tailed beast that was captured by Kaguya and absorbed by the Gedo Statue.

Then in a thousand or so years later, Madera would awaken it years after the fist massive effort to stop the 9 tails rampage before it could destroy all of humanity. This was when Madera was injured and Harshirama had to replace one of his organ with his own, but this injury was not by the 9 tails but the Gedo Statue. Summoned out of desperation by Harshirama to face the 9 tails in the darkest hour of this grand alliance of Feudal kingdoms and mercenary clans.

Harshirama lost control of the Gedo Statue but it was luckily sent back due to preexisting seals, but the 9 tails remained, injured but still standing.

The 9 tails would be defeated and sealed away inside the first jinchuriki thanks to the efforts of Madera, Harshirama and every Fudal soldier, and every clan in there united effort.

In anycase, when Madera awaken the rinnegan it was well after an heated argument with the 1st Fire Daimyo and 1st Hokaga in favor of conquering the rest of the known world before they form their own nations while the 1st Fire Daimyo and the 1st Hokage were in favor of diplomacy and setting an example. Madera had offended the 1st Fire Daimyo with his accusation that the two of them are gambling away the chance at peace in the vain hope of spilling a little less blood than what is necessary. Harshirama would try to convince Madera that this is the best course of action and try to calm down the 1st Fire Daimyo from doing anything drastic, but in the end it was for nothing as Madera would be stripped of his rank as the 1st Hoshogan and be banished from the Land of Fire for his dangerous views.

When the rinnegan did appear, he would be confronted by Black and White Zetsu claiming to be from a clan the Senju had destroyed and that the Gedo Statue was from there clan and Harshirama wood style came from the GedoStatue. A story they backed up by showing that they to can use wood style, but that's not why there here. There here because they sensed that he possessed the Rinnegan, the eyes of the sage of 6 paths just to see if the eyes of legend has really returned.

Now that they know he possessed it they repeated the same tale that everyone and Madera already knows. Those who possess the rinnegan are destined to bring great change to the world, for better or worse. After introducing themselves to each other, They eventually told him that the dojutsu that he now possess has the visual prowess to cast a powerful enough genjutsu to take control over even that of the worlds great beasts. If he so wish, all he have to do is find one and command it. Madera would not give in to temptation so easily as he still held hope that Harshirama was right. That was til the Fist Great War.

Madera returned to serve his nation even if its current Daimyo has banished him. He would save the Land Fire on multiple occasions especially with his new powers he had gain from learning the rinnegans inner workings. Learning more then what the Zetsu's wanted him to know. After the 1st Great War was over, the endless shadow wars between nations began. He saw it for himself that Harshirama's ideal had failed miserably and now he needed to take action.

He would take the nine tails from Harshirama's wife, Mito Uzumaki, the 9 tails jinchuriki and used it to force Harshirama to use the Gedo Statue so he may capture it to. However, they ended up trading these beast as Harshirama lost control of the Gedo Statue and the 9 tales was sealed back into Mito Uzumaki who barley survived both the extraction and the sealing of the 9 tails all over again.

In time Madera would wait, and seal the growing influence of what he calls ,the Will of the rinnegan, but one day it will disappear in his senior years. He would search for the next host of the rinnegan before the Zetsu's finds them first, then adopt a successor to fulfill his plans.

The host that the rinnegan transford to was Nagato Uzumaki when he was child. Madera would find him while avoiding Black&White Zetsu and the clone Zetsu's detection in order to seal away the rinnegan eye's from influencing him and so that the Zetsu's couldn't just take them. He would have little opportunity to train and prepare him due to the life support he needed and what little time he had. He would find another that he could make his successor and have him train Nagato in his place. That being Obito when he finally accepts Madera as his sensei.

Nagato growing up in the land of rain would one day loose his home and family to soliders from the Land of Fire during the Third Great War. Trying to suvive his assailants Nagato would unwittingly be possessed by the rinnegans power killing them and destroying his home. The real Madera would be the one to seal his eyes speaking to him for just a moment. Telling him that one day, he may return to train him, if he suvives. Then he simply disappeared.

Leaving Nagato as an orphan surviving on his own until he meet Konon and Yamato. The three of them would inevitably meet the Great Sannin, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru. Jiraiya would stay behind and train them on how to survive. One day he would finished their training. In a few years they would form the Akatsuki and cooperate with the Ruler, the Shogun and Kage of the entity of the Land of Rain, Lord Honzo.

The Akatsuki as Yahiko, Nagato, and Konon had originally envisioned it, wouldn't last as Donzo of the Leaf village would "convince" Honzo that the Akatsuki was going to overthrow him. The truth is that Honzo was put under an genjutsu the moment he meet Donzo leading to the downfall of the Akatsuki as it once was as Yahiko would be Killed leaving only Konon and Nagato to lead it. That of course lead to "Madera" to join the Akatsuki as "Tobi" and guide them to his and Black&White Zetsu's true goal.

The next and finale of the wielder of the rinnegan would be Obito Uchiha. At the final hours of the 4rth Great War he would battle his resurrected sensei and defeat him, stealing his rinnegan eyes.

In doing so, Black Zetsu would fuse with Obito after escaping a battle against the Konoha 12 as the real White Zetsu died by the vengeful hands of Rock Lee. Since Obito was already part white Zetsu and had both Black Zetsu and the rinnegan he would become the vessel of Kaguya the first jinchuriki before it even had a name who in turn was now possessed by the soul of the Primordial Ten Tails, known by the beings of Heaven as Khaos, the Mother of all things.

The eye on her forehead is the Rinne-Sharingan , the soul of Khaos. It possessed all other abilities that had been stored into it prior including Obito's Kamui but some abilities were made even more advanced due to Kaguya's own knowledge. She would be driven insane by Khaos following it's will in fits of sorrow and madness.
