When do you think Naruto's power scaling should have ended?

Basically, when do you think Kishi should've simply said -STOP- and no longer create more powerful techniques / villains?

Honestly, the fights in Naruto are no longer about smarts but rather who can pump the strongest attack. Bijuudama, Perfect Susanoo, Amaterasu, Shinsuusenju, Totsuka/Yata, those are proof that it doesn't matter how smart you are but how hard you can hit.

I liked Part 1's fights and villains a lot more. Personally, Kakashi vs Zabuza and Lee vs Gaara are my favourite fights in the manga, tied to Pain vs Naruto.

Pain was the ideal bad guy to me. He had the eyes of God and could take on the whole Konoha. Nowadays, Pain/Nagato looks like a weakling compared to the top guys.

Well Naruto characters are nowhere near DBZ level so thats a plus...
I hope the manga ends before it gets to that point.

Well Naruto is Shōnen style so everything will keep power scaling until it ends, that's how those mangas work.

No, I think Kishi was being very fair with his warnings of the power scaling. When Naruto fought Orochimaru in 4 tails mode, I already knew we were going to enter godly stuff.

So technically he should have ended it before that happened, but since it did I was already prepared to see epic godly stuff. Kishimoto did not trick us people, he foreshadowed this a long, long, long time ago. And I'm very excited to see them break stuff. When you throw the notion of ninja out, it is actually quite fun! :D

Maybe Madara takes it too far, but I felt that when the juubi was talked about it was already a done deal in terms of power scaling. Anyways I actually really like it. I know I'm in the minority but whatever :D

things went bad when susano was revealed imo :| part 1 > part 2

should have stayed with part 1 power scaling where the term ninja could still be used to describe them :|

theyve been using all kinds of strategy still in the war like how kakashi sealed haku and zabuza and how gaara used gold dust to stop second mizukage,ino-shika-cho sealed kinkaku,how naruto took down the third raikage there's a lot more
and i think the powerscale should stop after someone becomes the juubi's jinchuuriki

IMO...
Pain being god should have been the last power rating in NV...

In that case, Rinnegan's hype would have preserved and the greatness of being a sage would also be better...

I actually like the way it is. If it is a 10 tailed demon there that with help from it chakra could create a moon then I defiantly expect some good jutsus from the main characters. It would be so pointless if it was etc Juubi vs Part one characters, good luck with that.

And if Juubi wouldn't exist then it would be boring about the background story of Rikudou Sennin. So in my opinion it all goes hand by hand.

Your sig scared the poop out of me, but made me laugh lol

OT: Your right about the battles no longer being about tactics, but I used to find those fights a bit boring. I like having some godly powerful techniques all over the place. So I think the power scale should keep rising

Nope. It's cooler than part 1's power scale.

Power scaling in part one was perfect, with Summons and Gaara's Shukaku being the only "big" jutsu's with massive destruction.

After Sasuke pulled a bolt of lightning from the sky THEN a susano'o tanked it. IMO, He also shouldn't have given every Tailed beast a tbb. Only 9 tails should've had it. Too much exploding shit now

They should stop at the moment of ****ing susano and rinnegan.. Because of that kishi screwed up. The main charachter ''naruto'' did not have enough power at the moment so he gave another power up. Then he revealed Madara who need a
power who only a tailed beast can compare with.. Perfect susano.. And that was the moment it went way to far. he had make someone on the same level so made Hashirama On the same level as madara.


I miss the old times were frogs can beat a tailed beast.
and where hidan beated the 2 tails :(

Well, Naruto was destined to be insanely powerful from the beggining.

Back when Naruto fought Haku, he used only the tiniest fraction of the Kyuubi's chakra and dispatched Haku a (Low Jonin Level Ninja) with ease and was even hyped to be more dangerous than Zabuza. Back then When first reading those chapters, we had it in our head that Zabuza and Kakashi were two of some of the strongest Shinobi in the NV.
