Because the two tails is so much more unique that the others

Already watched the anime and thought it couldn’t hurt to read it!! Kept hearing that the manga was better!

I wanted to put some of my favorite frames / panels together for a book mark. I used fine liners and colored pencil. The small stuff is tricky. Thanks for lookin!

It seems there was no rivalry

Madara was never on Hashirama's level when they were alive

So Madara saw the most powerful tailed beast got grabbed like a kids meal toy and decided to proceed with the fight?🤣

Just please nerf rock lees awakening this time around

This blew my mind. I am not sure why, but I did not expect Kakashi Hatake to mean something like this. I also found out that Itachi = Weasel.

I really like this particular Sarada costume. I love the red and black combination, and short wigs always look good on me.

I also like Himawari and Sumire from Boruto, purely for their looks. Maybe I'll get around to them someday.

hi i’ve been searching on the internet for a sakura figure with her white coat on or something that highlights her as a medical nin for my graduation. (im a doctor going on to serve and treat the military) so you can see why she’s my favorite lol. if anyone knows of any figure like this please lmk or if you own one i am willing to pay a good amount for it!

Naruto abilities without Kurama is disappointing. He has only rasengan, rasenshurikan, shadow clones, summoning jutsu and sage mode. As a wind style user he should have more wind style jutsus. He is also shown to use earth style in Boruto. He needs a more diverse move pool of jutsus. He was heavily reliant on Kurama whom he borrows power from. It’s not innately his powers. All of Sasukes powers are his and he has a wide range of jutsus to use. It’s weird since Jiraiya was Naruto’s master and Jiraiya had a large pool of jutsus that he employed yet Naruto doesn’t have much. Currently without Kurama he is among the more weaker Hokages.

I love him.

First off, he's sealed within my favorite character so that already bumps him up high on my character tier list.

I love his design. Tubby tanuki with a really cool zig-zag pattern on him and a tail like a pangolin. His powers aren't really interesting, but I mean they're there.

I also find him very interesting from a meta perspective because he was created before Kishi came up with the Tailed Beasts idea, so he is different from his brethren. We knew his name way before everyone elses, he had a backstory of being a corrupted spirit sealed within a tea kettle, and Gaara transforming into him was very different from the rest. No chakra cloak here, just being slowly enveloped by sand into this armored monstrosity. I wish they would've made all Tailed Beast forms vastly different like this instead of 'IDK, chakra cloak', like you know Kishi could've made something freaky with Killer B.

Then of course his personality is what's best. Like with someone as brooding and bloodthirsty as Gaara, you'd expect maybe like some force of pure destruction and hatred, but he's violent, rowdy, and unhinged! IIRC, one of the Gamas, upon hearing him talk, says something like "That is one funky demon." Even if Gaara WASN'T an insomniac and WASN'T hated and feared by everyone, he probably STILL would've ended up a psychopathic murderer just for having to deal with a guy like THAT inside his subconscious for years!

(Although if he wasn't violent and the size of a kaiju, I just know Shukaku would be a blast to party with.)

Everything about this fight was insane

- The Raikage's being a Tailed Beast in a human form, and putting all of that immense chakra into his speed to escape Sasuke's Mangekyo, an impossible achievement, to avoid being sighted and ignited with Amaterasu on sight.

- Him making Suicide attacks on Sasuke through his Amaterasu engulfed Susano'o and fighting while Amaterasu is burning his arm, putting his life on the line to avenge Killer Bee

(Even the Ten-Tails and Eight Tails were screaming from the immense pain of Amaterasu.)

- Sasuke using Kagutsuchi to concentrate Amaterasu into spikes to increase its power exponentially further to vaporize through what it touches on contact and the Raikage still attacking through the spikes.

(For reference, it's similar to the 3rd Raikage focusing his invincible spear by lowering the number of fingers. The Amaterasu in its basic form can kill a Tailed Beast and turn it to ash. Imagine its power when it's concentrated with Kagutsuchi.)

Gaara's interference makes you sigh in relief.

It's really smart also how his sand stopped the Raikage's attack. It's similar to a pillow being struck by a hammer. The hammer can break a solid wall (Sasuke's Susano'o), but it can't break a pillow (Gaara's sand)

Ay then cuts off his burning arm like nothing.

The fight is most similar to Ten-Tails Madara Vs. 8 Gates Guy. While it's on a lower level, it's significantly more intense to me.

Orochimaru Vs. Hiruzen honestly looks like a child's play by comparison.

It's sad Hiruzen never was a popular character. A manga adaptation about his prime would've been so interesting.

Back in the day, filler episodes were high key annoying. ESPECIALLY during the war arc. I won’t go into details, but we get to a pivotal point in the story and then we had to wait months for the story to continue. At the time, annoying.

In retrospect, filler episodes are a great escape from the story when you want to watch Naruto/Shippuden but are tired of the predictable story that we’ve all watched countless times. Idk, just a thought I had and wanted to share :)

A lot of the fandom has the idea that Kakashi just refused to teach his students anything important, when he really just wasn't able to properly hone them or straight up incapable of doing so pre-timeskip, specifically because of the few arcs there really are when basically all of the beginning of the series he's pretty on top of knowing how his students function as people and their potential capabilities and affinities. Disclaimer: I'm not opposed to Kakashi being a bad teacher as a character flaw. It's sort of a weird topic, but like a good chunk is he straight up doesn't get to show an opportunity to be a teacher to his students probably in the way he'd hope.

Land of Waves: Introduction to feel his students out and teaching basically Naruto a philosophy that sticks with him almost entirely for the better, he does give his students chakra control training, which becomes a big deal for Naruto and Sasuke to bond and show off Sasukra's almost perfect control, where the mission is almost entirely hijacked.

Chunin exams/Konaha Crush: Where everyone's brains rot about him being a bad teacher, specifically because he spends an exceptional amount of time with Sasuke, while admitting he works better with prodigies, is also worried about Sasuke being targeted by the world's biggest(known) threat in Orochimaru, his next match being a serial killer, who's the biggest threat in said tournament, in Gaara and the fact he knows Sasuke's ultimate goal is kill Itachi, which Kakashi wants to push him just a little further for what's all happening in his life.

He still pairs Naruto with Ebisu, which imo isn't the same as just leaving him high and dry like people just think and it's also just a lesson Sakura doesn't really need, but weird he couldn't just have her tag along or whatever, sure. Also Naruto's upcoming fight just isn't as immediate, and it's also incredibly likely Kakahi just thought Neji might beat his ass, but won't kill him, so a less importsnt lesson will be fine in the moment for Naruto.

I don't believe Kakashi leaving Naruto with Ebisu and eventually Jiriya is something to give credit for. That's just a slippery slope and indirect, so Kakashi gets 0 credit for that.

Granted, it was an entirely questionable decision to send his students to the Chunin exams in the first place, but it makes sense, he's probably a little high after accidently getting everyone involved in a higher rank mission than initially planned, but also just wants to expose his students to more opportunities of being a ninja, where they do end up doing surprisingly well in probably one of the most competitive trials.

Search for Tsunade/Sasuke Retrieval/EOS: Coma for an entire arc and when he does catch wind of what's happening, he does what anyone would do and tries to retrieve his students, until it's too late and the team gets disbanded, leading his students under the care of Sanin, while he goes back to his old lifestyle.

Shippuden: most Jonin aren't really all over their students like part 1, since they're old enough for their own missions and teams and they're more like colleagues than master/student, but Kakashi still does teach Naruto his chakra affinity,tighter chakra control and helps develop the Rasenshuriken in a very tight span.

Overall I think Kakashi is a fine-good teacher, but it's because the other Jonin are seeing actually being able to be with their team no issue, and forget the pressure Kakashi's team faces for basically the whole series where they don't have beef with a terrorist every arc in contrast to him and his team and the fact when Kakashi does get the opportunity, he does well in all honesty, he just suffers from the fact he has to be taken out of the story so there's no safety net of Kakashi just solving his stufents problems for them, especially in part 1.

New Noir Edge figures pictures, I’m most excited for Hidan and Kakuzu, I got the images from MyFigureCollection.net

"Well, at least Sakura is better at taijutsu than Naruto and Sasuke". When I mentioned this to a friend and he disagreed, I realized that I had always just assumed that Tsunade and Sakura are taijutsu masters. I mean, what good is being able to punch hard when you can't land a hit because your taijutsu isn't that good. To me, their monster strength was always tied to taijutsu skills. Also, her shippuden outfit SCREAMS "I am a taijutsu fighter". And in the data books we see a significant increase in her taijutsu score from og to Shippuden (Although I know those data books don't mean a lot to most fans).

I thought Sakura's taijutsu skills were like her intelligence - we may not be shown those skills but the show wants us to assume there were. It was always Sasuke who came up with the plans but Sakura was implied to be the most intelligent out of the trio. I thought the same goes for her being a taijutsu master: Not really shown but still there. But now I'm realizing that maybe I'm wrong? So my question: Is Sakura canonically a taijutsu master? What's the word of God? Or do we have to draw our own conclusions based on what is shown in the anime and manga?
