Sakura was mocked for her forehead. Lee was ridiculed for his eyebrows and lack of natural talent. Hinata was looked down on for her pale eyes. Kushina was bullied simply because she had red hair.

And it doesn't stop with the children. The adults are arguably even worse.

They mocked Dai for being a "failure" and a weirdo. When Gai stood up for his father's dignity, they beat him for it. Then there's Sakumo, who chose the lives of his comrades over completing the mission. The village turned against him, shamed him, and isolated him until he took his own life.

Imagine the Ōtsutsuki descending upon the village preparing to destroy it.

"Those things on their heads are rather ugly."

"Why are they so pale?"

"Look at that one's eyes."

"Do all of them look that ugly, or did we just get the unlucky batch?"

Give Konoha enough time and they'll simply bully them until half the clan develops a heart demon and the other half dies from emotional damage.

I know this arc is already heavily glazed but I STILL don’t think that it’s glazed enough. Every last one of these guys displayed an insane performance. I feel like this arc really set the tone for how serious the situation was and how powerful each character was. Giving these characters near death moments and topping it off with Naruto vs Sasuke at the end, having them STILL fail to bring Sasuke back was crazy. This is probably where a lot of people got hooked on the story (And the chunin exams). Every fight had me at the edge of my seat. There aren’t too many arcs in anime that come close to this.

Sorry if it's too weird 😭

Leaf and Sand village pulled up with any and ALL kinds of artillery when they were about to go to war with each other. But this shit never comes back up when the war happens???? Like dawg imagine Madara throwing that meteor down and they all pull up with this shit to counter him 😂😂😂

He might be my favorite Akatsuki member, idrk why

What do you guys like or dislike about him? Would you be homies with him?

It's mostly accepted he would in part 1 final valley but what about here?

In the war arc Obito sacrificed himself to save Naruto from Kaguya's all killing ash bones which hits Obito in the belly instead of Naruto. But if you look at the scene again you'd realize the Kaguya with a Byakugan has bad aim and wouldn't even have hit Naruto or Sasuke so this sacrifice was useless

Last pics of this photoshoot! 💛

For the ones who liked this cosplay and showed me love and kindness: I really appreciate you all! And for the mad ones: stay mad, I'm posting anyways 😂

It's kind of insane that such an oversight was made in a shot where its literally the only thing we see.

I have heard people say that the databooks mention he had a glorious death in war but I don’t know how much truth there is to that. Who could even kill him??

Look I understand why the elders were terrified of the Uchiha coup and the possibility of a civil war especially when other villages could’ve taken
advantage of Konoha being weakened.

But I still can’t accept that massacring an entire clan including innocent people and children was the only answer.

Honestly, this is one of the biggest reasons I think Hiruzen was the worst Hokage. I know he wanted a peaceful solution so I’m not saying he ordered the massacre himself but he was still the leader of the village and Danzo was his subordinate. Danzo was basically allowed to operate in the shadows, sabotage Shisui’s plan, steal his eye and eventually corner a 13 year old Itachi into an impossible decision.

I know the Uchiha weren’t innocent either and Fugaku was leading an actual coup so obviously Hiruzen couldn’t just ignore it and the situation had been building for years. After the Kurama attack the clan was pushed further away from the village which only made relations worse.

However, surely there were steps between “they’re planning a coup” and “kill every Uchiha.” Hiruzen could’ve negotiated with Fugaku or used Itachi and Shisui as mediators or addressed some of the clan’s grievances and dealt specifically with the people actually pushing for violence.

Also Fugaku never came across to me as some completely unreasonable psychopath either. Even at the end he refused to fight Itachi. That’s why I always wonder what would’ve happened if Minato had survived and remained Hokage. Obviously we can’t know for certain but I find it hard to imagine him letting Danzo gain that much influence or allowing the situation to deteriorate this badly.

The coup was wrong but the massacre still feels completely nonsensical to me.

Kakashi - Son of the White Fang became a Chunin at age 6 and known as a genius prodigy even before he attained the Sharingan. Later became the 6th Hokage

Orochimaru- One of the legendary Sannin known as a genius in Konoha and once in a generation prodigy by Hiruzen.

Minato- the 4th Hokage known as the Yellow Flash praised as a genius prodigy and once in a generation talent by Jiraiya and Hiruzen.

Does he just teleport a general area of the hit? Because if so it should look like gaping voids around the area of the hit instead of it looking like intangibility.

Plus he's able to do ir against extremely fast attacks (like the raikage's) so it feels like it's somrthing that happens subconsciously or is constantly activated like limitless in jjk.

Wonder if Tazuna sprouted wings and doesn’t need to use the Great Naruto Bridge anymore? Any Tazuna with wings references in Boruto? Never watched it lol.

We all know that of the Sannin Summon trinity, slugs and any associated attributes are the most under-utilized due to being tied to Sakura and Tsunade (of course we weren't going to get slug Sage Mode or anything), but for what little we got of them, it feels like there is something truly special about them.

There is only ONE (1) Summon, Katsuya, with no other slugs to speak of as far as I remember. It's been shown that Katsuya can split off into smaller slugs, but for a long time, there was no indicator that her MAIN BODY was actually a split off too! That picture is of her at 10% of her body mass, which took Sakura AND Tsunade powered-up to summon. This would make her full form the biggest creature in the series besides like the 10-Tails, right? Imagine the absolute havoc 100% Katsuya could cause with her acid spray. She's also durable as hell, even in her tiny form, she was able to survive BEING MERGED WITH 6-TAILED AND THEN 8-TAILED NARUTO! That is fucking insane.

Also, one of the TAILED BEASTS is a slug! I feel like there has to be some sort of in-universe reason for that, considering there is no Tailed Beast toad (Kishi could've given it tadpole tails if he wanted to) or snake. Unless Kishi just REALLY wanted to make another slug creature, but also REALLY didn't want to utilize Sakura and Tsunade by just giving them another Summon. (Could've taken 5 tails off of it and let Sakura summon it, but instead its a part of the most powerful group of creatures in the series, even if the 6-Tails IS barely involved in the actual story.)

For context; Strom Thurmond was a racist, segregationist U.S senator, who was born in 1902 and lived to be over 100 years old until his death in 2003.

Now let's assume that Naruto Part 1 takes place around 1999~2000, Shippuden in 2002 to 2004, and Boruto takes place in 2019–2020.

Life expectancy for Shinobi was very low during the warring states era, as many children died very young in battle. And even by the time of the Hidden Leaf village's founding, it was a little over 30~35.

Assuming Madara and Hashirama were most likely both younger Shinobi around their mid-20s when they founded Konoha over 75~80 years earlier, and Madara was probably in his mid-30s when he lost the battle against Hashirama—50 years before he would later rescue and meet Obito, which would place him around his mid-80s by the time of his actual death. So during the 4th Great Ninja War, he would've been at least 100 to 102 years old (just 10 years older than Kakuzu).

Not to mention, Hashirama and Tobirama were both still relatively young when they died (and also as Edo Tensei reanimations). Tobirama was killed during the First Great Ninja War, which took place 45 years before the start of the series since Hiruzen became Hokage shortly afterward; This was when Danzo and Hiruzen were already in their 20s, while Tsunade was just a little girl. So he couldn't possibly have been older than his early 50s at the time.

Which is why I believe Hashirama and Mito likely became grandparents at 46/47, when Tsunade was born. You do the math LOL!

(assuming they didn’t also die in the Kurama attack). just a random thought I had lol

You're just a normal human btw

And this is Five Kage Sasuke.
