Wonderful Nafan <3 And no, you aren't lonely, Baldy is here

To be honest, people, WHY can't you understand that action is nothing compared to the plot? Why can't you understand, that you guys are being selfish, and you have no idea how the entire story would suck, if there were no flashbacks to clarify missing blanks, and to reveal more about a character.
It is essential. Character moves Plot. Plot moves Character. Action is nowhere in there. Action merely gives a thrill in reading the manga, but what is the main contributor to the fans of Naruto? Plot and Character. Face it, lets say we take out all the flashbacks, all the useless talk, how would the story be? Hmm...Boring, unclear, and I wouldn't understand half of it.
One of the things that set Naruto above many others is its plot. Please understand that, and stop requesting for action. Kishi is taking his time, to prolong the story for US. If you want the action so much, I'm afraid, Naruto isn't for you U_U
Not only that, if Naruto continues, we will continue to read Naruto, unless you don't want to read it anymore. Izanami will be revealed in a couple chapters. I personally found the flashback, and the background story of Kabuto rather interesting. It revealed the meaning behind his name, his glasses, and basically his overall personality. It was interesting, only fools will think it is boring, as they only want FIGHTS, fights, and fights.
