Why do people say Kishimoto's writing is horrible? I'm pretty sure if that was the case then none of you would be here and NARUTO wouldn't be this popular.

Simply put, kishimoto had other plans for your favourites whereas you'd have liked them to solo everyone else's favourites and be the kage of all villages at once.

Kishimoto is an excellent write. Don't hate children (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)​

He sucks at writing females. Other wise he is not too bad.

I know Kishi originally intended on Tsunade to fight Pein, but the idea was tossed my SP I think

He doesn't suck. He has made one of the most famous mangas known WORLDWIDE, for 15~ years he has been successful.

People complain about particular things they dont like it and so it adds up over the years and they unleash the hate all at once.

The story wasn't bad until it neared it's ending.

Look at Kaguya as an example.

Kishi is more of an artist than a writer.

Multiple reasons, my main grievance is that Kishi is lazy with his writing. Some things need to be explained but the manga never does that nor tries to. I understand this is fiction and all, but I would like explanation to somethings. Going to ignore Kishi's development of female characters in the story.

Agreed. He's just fine. The whole thing was awesome but it got mediocre in the final arc. Overall it's a great manga.

He rarely dares to deal with gray areas, doesn't give women more chance, and very often it seems that he likes to ask good questions without knowing how to answer them, or he answer them with in stupid way - for example, when he drawed Naruto punching Obito and saying that he (Obito) don't speak badly about Minato, because he didn't become Hokage.

In fact, most of worst answers were from character Naruto Uzumaki.

Look for Naruto in the link.



However, the hardwork part is completely false. It was never a theme.

naruto started off as a great manga and so thats why we're here because we finish what we start. kishi was doing real good until the start of part 2 where he just started changing things with no explanation and kicking all the other characters to the side and just focusing on narutos inability to control the nine tails and his hard on for sauce. he introduced this dope organization of S ranked shinobi that nobody can 1v1 while their at full power apparently and then he shoves them to the side only having them appear in some random order to be wiped out by ninja much weaker than them and then apparently he forgot the akatsuki work in pairs and has them all fight alone against a group.

also crap ton of plot holes that he created in order to squeeze in some extra bs to power up nardo and sauce so they can actually stand a chance against people who trained and earned their fame. not to mention the whole hashirama cells bs that he came up with to explain why anyone can become OP.

also manga stopped being about ninjas and doing ninja things and became about who could make the biggest explosion with a single strike

People just too critical about Naruto.

For example, people often whining that manga isn't about ninja anymore, while manga never was about ninja.

I do believe it's not as bad as what people say, and is pretty decent. However, Kishi's writing of female characters, and the Kaguya arc are not the best.

Those people are just fans in denial because they named lots of characters from the show
