Characters like Danzo, Kabuto & Orochimaru sure do get a lot of hate for taking the abilities of others and injecting them into themselves, I personally don't see this as a problem.

For a show that's primarily based on stealing and people exchanging powers constantly, what is seriously the issue here? Sasuke stole Itachi's eyes, Tobi took the Rinnegan, The Cloud stole the Byakugan, Madara happily uses his rival's own jutsu which doesn't belong to him, the Akatsuki took the tailed beasts, hell- the first proper technique Naruto ever LEARNED was stolen from a scroll! He stole chakra from Kurama constantly!

Do these people ever get as much criticism as Oro, Danzo & Kabuto do? No. No they do not.

Plus they are NINJA. There is no fair play in a war. Kabuto may have implanted lots of DNA into himself but that is HIS power now.

I agree, the only thing that pisses me of is that some people are complaining about some stolen powers and others not... like they do complain about orochimaru's but not about sasuke or visa versa

As long as the user excels in using what ever power they have, i consider it there's.People just come up with excuses to degrade their power just so their favs have a chance.

No. It doesn't impair the story, in fact, it helps the story be good, so I couldn't give a f*ck if anyone has stolen powers. And I guarantee if half of those haters didn't join this forum and just watched the series, they wouldn't give a f*ck either. I've come to realize being a member of a forum can taint how you view the series.

I only complain when people say that Sasuke worked hard to get where he is now and Naruto didn't... Sure, it's not hard to 'steal' them as you say, but not everyone is capable of using them.

I don't care how they got it, if they can use it it's their power.

It annoys me that it seems that characters don't acknowledge that they are nothing without the borrowed powers.

Yeah...who needs such puny things as...hardwork and passion when you can just get silver-age superman powers via eye-transplant.

Ohh

I think it's bad, imagine you have a great great power to make girls fall for you and you can control them what ever you desire, then you died then someone stole your power what would you do???

Naruto stole Kurama's power, but no one hates Naruto for that.

He didn't stole, he borrowed it. Plus, without naruto, kurama would've been sealed within thhe gedo mazo statue like the other seven tailed beasts...

There is a difference between literally using someone's power...vs your own.


EMS in the manga is considered your own power

Using other people like Kabuto in the manga is not considered your own power

Mokuton is solely Hashirama's power. "He became stronger due to Hashirama's dna".... all Mokuton is Hashirama's dna.

BUT that is not a excuse when we do a "vs"

Nothing, cuz in that scenario, and all other scenarios like that, it doesn't matter.

Here you go with that SA Superman crap again.

SO6P with Rinnegan in his prime <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< SA Superman.

The eyes don't give ANY character ANY where near SA Superman level powers.

Kabuto w/ edos is the most powerful shinobi ever (excluding SO6P obviously).

Mad?
