Remember Naruto was about Outsmarting your enemies instead of some dragon Ball Z shit?

There were times when Watching Naruto was enjoyable.
1. Naruto transforming into a large shuriken for Sasuke to throw at Zabuza.
2. Shikamaru using his jacket as an extension of his shadow.
3. Shikamaru using Kakuzu’s blood as a decoy for Hidan to swallow and kill.
4. Naruto and Kakashi trying to hit Obito in both dimensions .

Now it’s all, Kamehameha your enemies and destroying the environment on the process.

>Deidara sacrificed his arm to put bombs inside Gaara's sand

Made me hype as fuck

why they had to kill the Akatsuke so early and so fast with cold blood, it's sucks bros

>Deidara, Kisame Killed himself
>Obito and Navajo sacrificed himself
>Itachi succumbed to his illness
>Kakazu, Sasori, Hidan were killed by Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamru
>Zetsu is sealed
>Orochimaru is alive

Still is. You should try boruto

It never stopped doing that kinda of shit like, Naruto disguising a shadow clone as a rasenshuriken to hit the ninjustu absorbing Pain for example. You're just stupid.

>Sasori killed by Sakura
Basically killed himself desu, dude just wanted all of it to end. Shame too, I was looking forward to more Sakurai voice lines.

Did he do that against Madara, Kaguya, and Sasuke?

>outsmarting your enemies
Not so fast

No? It was always about transformations and cool attacks. Naruto was inspired by DBZ you dumb fuck.

>Naruto literally beat Pain by outsmarting him

OP will now begin explaining why that doesn’t count

>Madara, Kaguya, and Sasuke
Not sure if it counts as outsmarting but against Kaguya he pulled a reverse harem jutsu.

Nine tails power weakened him and then Nagato kill himself because talk no Jutsu

>Shikamaru
Motherfucker jobbed to a circle

>then Nagato kill himself because talk no Jutsu
He was already beaten at that point.

>Shikamaru using Kakuzu’s blood as a decoy for Hidan to swallow and kill.
this was nonsense

Yes I remember the first 8/10 of the manga

>jobbed to a circle
Is this something from Boruto?

Boruto Shikamaru is canonly more stupid than a kid.

No, in the manga, during his first encounter against Hidan.

Sasuke was pretty smart here

Oh that's what you meant.

>either use your arm cannon on me or my pile of bugs
>jk doesn't matter I shoved a bunch of bugs in your arm pipes
Shino was hardcore

blame LEE vs gaara

I wish Sasuke had used his wings to fly more.

>Team 8 never learned a genjutsu
>Got their sensei stolen by Shikamaru
>Shino didn't get to fight in the Sasuke rescue arc
>Kiba got the worst fight in the Sasuke rescue arc
>Team 8 never got to beat an Akatsuki member
>Both Kiba and Hinata weren't allowed to win a fight
>Both Kiba and Shino don't have kids
>Shino is still single
Why does Kishi hates this team so much?

I always laugh my ass off when people say that was the best fight then complain that everything after it is DBZ.

The average person is a hypocritcal retard, what else is new.

desu they're usually talking about the pre gates fight

>Shikamaru using Kakuzu’s blood as a decoy for Hidan to swallow and kill.
Fuck off, mate.

Naruto peaked with Pain. The following arcs were just a slow degrade

Just remember, it could always be worse

Why does that kid looks like a wannabe rapper?

Peace or war?

Fights that have nothing but hand to hand combat can be interesting, the problem here is that Kishi barely can draw an well choreographed fight, most fights in Naruto are closer to showcases of the characters' abilities than actual combat.

I choose a dictatorship

It pretty much took up the whole of Shippuden to kill them all
What are you on about

Peace under God-Hokage Sasuke’s tyrannical rule

Why would they be talking about the part where nothing happens? No one says that someone punching sand is their favorite fight. People suck off the part where Lee takes off his weights and literally uses the Kaioken to finally do damage by going retard mode and punching the sand harder. Meanwhile, they ignore all the amazing strategic stuff later in the series because there were too many explosions and giants.

The better animated fights fix that
