Im REALLY not liking the way Naruto's going tbh. This will DEFINITELY sound like a rant, but the story is going NOWHERE. Every episode, someone seems to be getting some sort of powerup. Sorry to say, but I really think Kishi has run out of ideas.
At the beginning, Naruto was a fresh, brand-spanking new, original story; now its just turning into a HUGE fight fest. In my mind, I think Kishi is trying to buy some time so that he can DRASTICALLY improve the storyline, and so is giving us this bullsh*t for a few weeks.
Naruto is, at the moment, moving towards a completely fight-based anime, with no other facets to its overall storyline. Characters CANNOT just whip out powerups of this scale every now and again; if someone like Kabuto can master Sage Mode, how can Jiraiya not??? Kishi is just powering antagonists as his protagonists are clearly way ahead of their counterparts.
I feel Kishi is losing control over the relative power of characters at the moment. I mean, judging by the recent fights and powerups, Sasuke, Kabuto and Naruto comprehensively overshadow the God of Shinobi, Hiruzen Sarutobi. These powerups make Orochimaru seem very weak, in all honesty- considering what we saw from him in a fight. They completely dwarf Jiraiya's greatness.
I'm sorry to say this, but Naruto, the anime/manga that I loved at the beginning, is clearly going out of control...






What do people think? Is it okay for characters to receive ridiculous powerups every now and again, or is it time people accepted Naruto is going out of control???
Seeing the first few powerups, I was in awe. Now its becoming repetitive, boring, and frankly annoying...
I understand that people love action (so do I), but epic fights can only add so much to a story lacking depth right now. Where is the character development? Do any of us actually connect with any of the characters truly (like we did in FMA/FMA:B)?? Most importantly, where the **** is the story going??
