FIRST POST!!! I use to like Naruto but the ending ruined it.

Naruto sucks

Sounds like a nice idea, Tricks!

I keep wondering to myself, does anyone else think the whole idea of Bee taking pride in being a Jinchuriki is only partially true? I bring this up because when you think about it, he was shown to be willing to abandon the Hidden Cloud when he tricked Taka into getting one of Gyuki's tentacles instead of the real deal. If he did take pride in being a Jinchuriki as much as it was said, he wouldn't have bailed like he did. It makes me think Bee only puts on a facade because of his respect for Ay, but he hated being a Jinchuriki years later when Ay began to see him as just as a tool, because of Ay losing faith when his dad, Ay the Third, sacrificed his life to protect others like a Kage would do.

 

Plus the way Bee and Gyuki's relationship was written it makes a guy wonder if Bee even knew Gyuki's name or even CARED to learn it. We saw Roshi knew Son's name, but he was just too obstinate to want to be polite enough to call him by his name. That's what I wonder, considering that Naruto seems different with his ending up continuously calling Kurama by his name when he learns it, and how he treats him better during the way, as well as his real determination to help Son get free from Obito. Not to mention Naruto's chakra cloak with Kurama being different from Ay and the others. It makes me wonder if Naruto and Gaara are more unique given how they had different chakra cloaks from the other Jinchuriki, even one in "control" like Bee is with Gyuki.

 

My friend Gil theorized perhaps even as close as Bee and Gyuki are, it's still give and take, which is why they don't have a cloak similar to Naruto and Kurama do. And the fact Bee, as experienced as he is, tends to be the muscle of the duo while Gyuki's obviously the brains (sometimes I wonder if Bee is dumber at times than even Naruto can be), and that's why even as close as they are, they still don't got that kind of level of trust Naruto and Kurama, fast as it was, had developed, even when Kurama was trying to break Naruto's spirits because of his own hate toward humans for how they mistreated him and stole his freedom.

Naruto sucks

The only characters I like are Deidara Kakashi and Pre-693 Sakura.

Can't argue with that.

Naruto used to be one of the biggest things in my life.
Now it's just a piece of kitten that I'm trying to erase from my mind.

[FireFox]

kitten this manga I want to piss and kitten all over it  .

[RedFaction]

I agree. But I still like Shikamaru, Lee, Neji (Poor Neji...), and Pre-699 Naruto. Also I like all the Akatsuki members they were such great villains.

 

Oh and I almost forgot about Minato, Kushina, and the J man. Thank god they weren't ruined by this kitten ending.

Yeah Rock Lee's a good character! And so it Minato and Kushina. Basically I don't dislike any of the characters except for the retconned Team 7 and Hinata-sama of course.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Those who got a lot of focus ended up being the worst characters.

My language is clean since the moment I came from my mother's womb  .

cheating fanfics makes perfect sense,becuase Naruto is canonically a liar. It’d be in character.  Since Sasuke is out of the village so much, Sakura can't get pleasure from her husband so she would have to go to Naruto for that. Hinata doesn't care since she is just happy she is married to Naruto with kids. Also people like to say leesaku is the same as Naruhina. It's not lee doesn't stalk Sakura. He actually understands that she loves Naruto. He showed more concern over neji's death that Hinata did and they were related. Hopefully that kid is Lee's and Tenten's.

I always said that Sakura would always be my favorite anime/manga character no matter what happened. She still is, but I will forever curse the ending that was handed to her. She, and a lot of the others, deserved so much better.

I still can't get over that blushing face she made when she asked Sasuke to take her with him. It was truly awful.

[Metalhead87]

I'm really not sure what the plan is for Naruto after the New Era Project concludes. I mean, if we can say anything about what has happened so far, it's that there is a large amount of negativity directed towards the series throughout a lot of the fandom. Should the New Era Project fail, then what? What's next for them? Do they go back in time and continue to milk off of Part 2 through releasing more movies? Additional anime arcs like "untold stories from Naruto's youth"? Do they attempt to pander to the groups that they shunned through alternate realities and continuities? What about the games? From what I've seen, the games follow the manga's story, so what now that it's concluded? Just tell it over and over again?

 

Sorry if I'm rambling or if any of these questions have already been answered lol. These are just things that passed through my mind momentarily.

Awfully drawn too. Sakura looked horribly off model in that panel.

I agree I still like Sakura, but my favorite character in Naruto has to be Minato. I'm just glad he got a proper send off and his character was put to rest for good.
