Greatest Naruto Arc

[AJT014]

Hello.

I have watched a lot of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, and I always think what is the best arc in the show? The one that really stands out and has it all. I don't think that ANY arc compares with the Chunin Exams arc. It's got everything! The introduction of a ton of new characters including (arguably) the greatest villain, Orochimaru. It's got suspense and just a storyline that keeps you on edge the whole time. The forest introduces Gaara as this frightening monster who cannot be touched. Sasuke has an awesome fight with Oro, it's just great material. Then the one on one fights (Lee vs. Gaara is one of the best to date) and the introduction of Jiraiya! It was when everyone still had their own personality and they hadn't been molded into another Naruto....having Gaara as an evil character added darkness to the story....Neji before changing his mind was that arrogant cocky bastard that every show needs. It was just a quality arc that I always come back to. Name an arc that is truly better. Although this is just opinion of course. haha Thanks for reading!

My favourite is the Sasuke retrieval arc, you feel a true connection to each of the characters, the fights are great, everyone gets involved, you actually feel like there is a threat and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I mean when Neji nearly died I was nearly in tears. I think each fight was a point of development for each of the characters and IMO is the best arc hands down although I really liked the invasion of Konoha arc and the chuunin exams too.

Ahhh,the Chūnin exams.Good times,good times.It was all yoi.said and more.Yes,it was an incredible arc.Fond memories.
In Shippūden, the arc in which Jiraiya and Itachi died and the Pain invasion of Konoha arc were the standouts for me.

Man you are right! That is an amazing arc....I remember watching that and I couldn't stop...I ended up going through the whole damn thing in ONE sitting. Ridiculous. But you feel the desperation and especially at the end when Shikamaru almost gave up on being a shinobi....that arc gets to you haha very good point! And it also marked the loss of the Sasuke that I really liked...this would have to be number two for me....another post could come from this. Part 1 vs. part 2. I think part 1 takes it.

pain arc and the sasuke retrieval arc

In shippuden, I particularly enjoyed the Hidan Kakuzu arc...the way it focussed around team 10 was a nice breathe of fresh air. And the fight between team 10 and hidan/Kakuzu was incredible. Kakashi pushed to his absolute limit.

I liked the Sasuke retrieval arc and the chuunin exams arcs the best.... Oh, and the arc in shipudden where they try to get Gaara back.

[nj tandi]

Ahhh,the Chūnin exams....good times,good times.It was an incredible arc with everything one could ask for,great fights,emotions,introduction of new characters and techniques,darkness.Fond memories.
In Shippūden,the arc in which Jiraiya and Itachi died and the Pain's invasion of Konoha were the standouts for me.Especially Nagato's backstory and the truth behind Itachi and the Uchiha massacre.

I must agree the Chunin Exams Arc has been the best to date but i still think the save sasuke arc was good too Neji vs Kidomaru was my favorite fight to date Neji showed heart
