I mean, the series is on pre android saga dbz level. Continent destroyers and possibly planet busters.

The series use to be about strategy and subterfuge. Now its basically, Susano'o, Tbb, Tsb, One shot, Kamui, Instakill, Chibaku tenseis, bankais and more.


Where did the ninja all go?

They actually do still do hand signs.. And it wasn't really ever about proper ninjas that are stealthy or anything. But I think Kakashi since he wears a mask and the people In root were a lot like ninjas; hiding in the shadows.. So I'd say Sai and Kakashi and Haku and Danzo and maybe Tobi and Itachi were the most like real ninjas.

The show was never about ninja (or at least it shouldn't )

From the start of the first episode you see minato beating that huge ass monster with some flashy beam.

OT: iruka I guess

Well they obviously wouldn't show Minato or his identity fully defeating Kurama now would they? Since in Part I Minato was a legend so they had to make Kurama's defeat look flashy (Literally).

First episode made it clear that it was about NINJA having to learn deceptive techniques such as the clone Jutsu & Transformation Jutsu.. Techniques of subterfuge. And with Mizuki deceiving the hell out of Naruto & Iruka... & even the battle was Shinobi-like. It was towards the battle against Gaara things began changing.

Well there was no need to that flashy thing in the beginning they could've just showed him standing there like a boss

But I do agree with general idea of your post

Yessir xD But that would involve showing his identity which wasn't happening until Hiruzen mentioned him again... & how badly designed he was.

They might be able to scrape through Raditz, but Nappa rapes them.
