You’ve gotta understand that among Shinobi, education was very very important. Shinobi literally means “to sneak” refering to their traditional functions of infiltration, intelligence gathering, and diplomacy. An elite Shinobi was well versed in reading and writing as well as the politics of...

Might Gai with 7 Gates open using Asakujaku against an immobilized opponent would be enough if you ask me. Kisame forced Gai to use 7 out of 8 gates and no way is Kimmimaro beating Kisame.

Seriously though. Using Taijutsu alone Gai nearly killed the literal GOD of Naruto. You’re gonna give him a Sharingan now? Gai uses Genjutsu to immobilize Kimi which leaves him a sitting duck for Gai’s most powerful attacks. Gai wins. No contest.

Narutobase has a fanfic section?

I can't remember the last time I started a thread here... Curiosity got the better of me though. As many know, the Boruto OVA was released on July 27th alongside Ultimate Ninja Storm Legacy. In that time we've seen multiple Spanish translations but not a single English sub. Anyone know if...

Without it obviously strong enough to be considered for the position of Kiri's Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Arguably they're all insanely strong even without their swords considering we see some of them fight without them. Kisame also killed and stole Samehada from Fuguki who during his time was a...

Hey kids. I'm nowhere near as active as I was back during the Minato/Itachi flame wars but I had an interesting thought that merited my coming back to the forum. It's been said that Japanese culture was heavily influenced by the dropping of the atom bomb during WWII. It's shown in cinema...

I'm assuming you don't live in the US, otherwise you wouldn't make such an ignorant statement and call into question my intelligence. I'm full aware various African and Mesopotamian cultures practiced slavery centuries before it arrived in the west. However, America is the only culture that...

I was honestly waiting for you to quote Hume... Or Schopenhauer for that matter. I myself prefer Kant's view on religion, that it serves as a necessary imposer of ethics on a species that is intrinsically prone to corruption

Im curious as to what the Muslim opinion of a 'Zionist' is anyway...according to Muslim scripture both are Abrahamic in lineage, and Saladin at least seemed to tolerate them as did Ala ad-Daula...

Well yeah... Thats why I said its been a cesspool since 1456 after it fell to the Caliphates which would eventually form the Ottoman Empire. My point was to reiterate the OP's sentiment that global powers have a history of censoring their misdeeds and you can find examples everywhere. How...

Do you doubt there being a reason for that? Perpetuate any groups past mistakes and you effectively cripple them. Slavery and Racism in the US, Nazism and Anti-Semitism in Germany, Imperialism in the UK, African Colonialism and the French... Take your pick.

True. Its also said the British Empire allowed the Irish Famine to escalate by blocking trade. Prior to the famine Ireland produced enough flax and cloth to feed and clothe its population nine times over but relied heavily on the British for trade.

Ehhhh idk about that... The Ottoman Empire is the reason we have "Crimes Against Humanity" for their genocide of the Armenian, Assyrian, Greek, and Romani people during the early 20th century... We wouldnt see genocide on this scale until the German Holocaust and later ethnic cleansings by the...

Got some bad news... Turkey has been a cesspool since 1456... They've never been known for their tolerance, though their EU seat keeps them cordial. Its interesting though since the Armenian Genocide is almost globally seen as a gross violation of human rights and state sanctioned cleansing on...
