Before I begin there's something I'll say first.If anyone has a problem with what others have to say then don't be a ass about it.

I want this thread to be civil so no rude and dickish remarks,and to all those who can't handle different opinions I suggest you don't bother commenting then.

Second since I was neg repped twice for speaking my mind in the past I will respond in kind.If what I'm about to say makes you butthurt then that's your problem.

I've made my thoughts on the storytelling perfectly clear in a previous thread that was made to poke fun at the "BZ was behind everything in order to revive Kaguya who is his mother" plot twist.Sorry,but it was dumb.There was no foreshadowing of BZ being a secret third son of Kaguya and it came out of nowhere.

BZ who was revealed to be Kaguya's will is suddenly her son now?And not only that but he was the one who created the shinobi system to start with?Come on....

The random switching of final villains has gotten tiresome as well in my opinion.First Obito was the final villain,then Madara,then Kaguya,and now it turns out BZ was the true mastermind.It's very rare for a story to have multiple final villains in one arc and the manga is one of them.Whatever happened to having one Big Bad and sticking to it?

In conclusion the storytelling has gone down a bit but is still good,the random plot twists(and yes they are random) however have hurt the manga somewhat.

(To all the jackasses who will predictably come in jumping down my throat,this is not a complaint thread but one where people can share their opinions on Naruto's story telling and how they feel about it's direction.So none of that "don't like it,don't read it" or "or why are you still here then?" BS.)

BZ is not an actual son tho.

You know how in fiction a creation refers to their creator as a mother/father.

It turned to poop after he stopped copying hxh. The only two good arcs in shippuden are sasuke vs itachi and pain arc... Pain arc heavily "inspired" by the matrix and sasuke vs itachi rode off the previous hxh "inspiration" and pretty much every revenge story ever U DIS ONA MAI FaMULI!!

Yes,but the point still remains.The entire plot that revolves around bringing Kaguya back is because of Black Zetsu wanting his "mother" to return.

It's hilariously random and that's a problem.

The story has been sh!t since the war started. Kishi did so well untill the war. He simply didn't think things through and rushed. Him saying he doesn't know how Madara will be defeated doesn't help either. It's proof he's making thing up as it goes. Naruto's story has become no better than DBZGT.

BZ just through me off entirely. Was he not Madaras will and created by him? Kaguya coming back makes no sense. I have a headache now

black zetsu didnt create the shinobi system, all it did was he kept trying to have someone gain rinnegan by manipulating them, which might have resulted in more senju-uchiha fight

the rest of teh shinobi system stayed as it is, black zetsu also didnt create the village system

as for black zetsu not being madara's will, it was always fishy how madara can create a sentient and intelligent being just by waving his hand

Black Zetsu said shinobi was a lie he concocted to help revive Kaguya.So yes he did create the system.

Because he changed Uchiha's monument , he thought everything has gone according to his plan . But that is not true .

Here are some examples :

Uchiha will hate Senju no matter what .

Madara will look for power no matter what , and Madara is not the only one who is looking for power .

Yahiko founded Akatsuki not BZ .

The Ootsuki family is rather striking me as a case of plot device, 5 chapter old cardboard cuts being more relevant, effective and important than any character who are not Naruto and Sasuke is irksome.

It went downhill to me, but will see what happens.

Agreed,they have hijacked the story and made it about their family problems imo.

I'm a DBZ and I don't hate Naruto's anime,but the animations have been average in some episodes.

I didn't mean all of them hate Naruto's anime , and the animations in some episodes aren't just average they are also really bad .

True,the Pain/Six Tailed Naruto fight is a huge example.

Naruto still has some holes but I agree it went down in quality after Kishi. stopped using HxH as a template. The start of the TS wasn't that great but it's just my opinion.
