So I just rematched Lee vs Garra, the forest exams, and the whole hunt to rescue Sasuke, and the action was even better this time than before. There was great action and nothing too extreme, basically everyone was on the same level. There was GREAT taijutsu and non-OP ninjutsu, but some fancy ass shit! For me personally I miss see some actual regular ninja fighting, now i dont know what the hell in looking at!! With this condition, i doubt the 3rd Hokage would have even been considered the strongest Hokage/shinobi the existed, he was a real ninja.

So does anyone else miss see actual ninja combat? or are you loving this monster vs monster extreme action goin on lately??

With this condition, i doubt the 3rd Hokage would have even been considered the strongest Hokage/shinobi the existed.

I'm in the same boat as you. I miss when the fights were awesome and there was some parity in powers and it was all up to strategy, tactics, and skills to come out on top. Now its just monster vs monster like Kabuto said during Naruto 4tail mode vs Orochimaru. Completely boring, watered down DBZ shit.

I like the current fights as much as last time. Remember, the ninja we see now are supposed to be powerhouses.

Yeah there was never a who was best of all time...

well you get what i ment, being considered the strongest Hokage or whatever and nickname "God of the Shinobi" that pretty much stamped him the greatest

This. The ninja who were considered amazing are slowly realizing their insignificance in comparison to Lord Sasuke. Because of his advancements, they've all become inferior. I don't mind it though. :)

oh yes, i do remember him saying that now. That was still pretty entertaining, and still reasonable for others to match or come close to matching

Naruto was never ninja-like.

you cant be serious, the intro of Haku was pure ninja like, forest fights were ninja like, Orochimaru vs. 3rd was ninja like, etc.

You cant compare Ninja's with Gods. Hiruzen and Hashirama are high level ninja, but will never be considered Gods like Uchiha Madara.

Ninja don't wear jump suits, operate publicly, summon animals, make real clones, have public clans. What I'm saying is, Kishi never followed the traditional way of ninja, he instead made his own version by altering what ninjas are believed to be.

You kidding?

Susanoo, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Izanagi etc. = Japanese mythology
Bijuu = based on japanese fiction
Rinnegan six paths = Japanese samsara

Pretty sure no other anime goes this deep into the Japanese culture.

of course there were a few added feats, most realistic additions for pure entertainment. It's all about the action in which im most focused on. Using sneaky tactics, Haku's intro, ninja kunia, hand-tohand, taijutsu, strategy needed in even match.
