It said only 10000 shinobi died in the 4th great ninja war, but in the manga, already half of the 80000 shinobi were killed off in the first day of the war.

Where the f*ck would Konoha even get 10,000 shinobi?

I don't recall even a hundred ninja fighting during the Invasion by the Sound in Part 1, and Pein + 5 bodies + Konan managed to wreck the village no diff before he shinra tensei'ed it.

10000 shinobis from Konoha...
No it was 10000 shinobi from the alliance.

The Five Great Shinobi Countries had lost roughly 10,000 shinobi…

10,000 shinobi were the victims of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Naruto could perform the shadow clone jutsu by twisting his fingers, and the Blood Prison is apparently "real" in the novels.

Inconsistencies are bound to happen when the main author did not write them. They are just supposed to be fillers on pages.

A location such as Blood Prison was not confirmed to not exist in the main story so it being part of the novel doesn't contradict any manga facts thus you can't say it is a contradiction from canon. This however is a blatant falsity.

The movie however was stated to not be canon. So there goes the contradiction ~

The Blood prison movie not being canon doesn't mean anything that happens in that movie is impossible to be included as part of the canon plot.

Do you want me to bring all the problems with the movie itself?

The movie isn't the novel so the movie not being canon doesn't mean the novel isn't canon.

When the novel was created from information of the movie? Alright.

Well the novels are not canon anyway. OrganicDinosaur already confirmed it, but we knew this already from the get-go.

These are not the first Naruto novels mind you, and none of them have been canon before.

Sasuke used Rinne Tensei as an act of repentance. He didn't die because he's the original wielder of the Rinnegan and he used Naruto's chakra

It's basically filler, only it's not on Krispy Kreme's level.

I'm not actually arguing that they are canon but that particular evidence you used to discredit it was weak. If it wasn't stated to be canon than it is up for your own interpretation. Who owns the Trademark Naruto anyway?

How could that not be enough to discredit it when the information is based of non-canon material?

Another thread derailed by Indra.U_U

A lot of people seem pressed with this canon talk.
