Art from better times.
I can't believe it's sunk this low, ever since the timeskip this manga has progressively gotten worse and worse. Now it's all about who your dad is that dictates where you stand, excluding Lee and Gai. Oh? You're mid twenties, spend day and night trying to train to be your best? Well that kid's sixteen and has a body like a Sumo wrestler, but he's related to god, therefore you lose. There's no substance; all that this manga is comprised of is a lotta super Emo Zenkai, with some mass deep throating of Biju thrown in for good measure. That's it. The Kekkei Genkai are awesome, but if you don't have one, or aren't blessed with platinum chakra levels you may as well go crawl to a farm and pretend to be a sheep - because as far as the writer's concerned you're a fodder, and he's already forgotten your name as soon as he's put pencil to paper - similar to how he once forgot Konohameru ever existed.
SUSANOO !!!! MOKUTOOOOOON !! BIJUDAMASASKECOMEBACKTOMEENGAAAN !!!
It was at least cool when you had characters like Hashirama who had Kekkei Genkai, but could also use other techniques, not characters that only have as many as three barely diverse techniques to save their lives. But even now Kishi seems to have retconed the possibility that Hashi ever used anything that wasn't Mokuton.
Elemental ninjutsu is pointless. Genjutsu that isn't Uchiha branded is pointless. Taijutsu that isn't amped by gates is pointless. 'Raw' Ninjutsu is pointless. Just get a big blue rib cage and it'll solve all your problems.
Clan of a thousand skills? Mastered every Jutsu in Konoha? Copied a thousand techniques? Jutsu knowledge that's leagues above any living Shinobi? You'll never sniff fraction of it, because before borrowed power and Genetics, it's nothing.
This isn't even going into plot, or how he's ruined the characters of folk like Orochimaru and Kakashi.
