[Debate] Has Kishi lost his creativity

[Simple Math]

what'd you expect anyway

 

[Words of wisdom]

I know what you mean in part one I felt like I was watching ninjas but now I feel like I'm watching people who can use magic.

Agreed with the OP. The fights in the chuunin exams were very technical and strategic. It actually felt like watching ninjas fight. Even some of the fights in Part two were like that such as Kakashi + team 10 vs Hidan and Kakuzu or Team Asuma vs Hidan and Kakuzu. But ever since Naruto went into sage mode and then started unlocking BM powers, the show turned the fights into a joke. If its not a Rinnegan or MS move or TBB then it is a weak attack. The strategy aspect got taken out of the fights and now its just all about whose OP moves are at a higher power level, rather than a clever usage of whatever ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu you had.

theres not that many dbz explosions its just that with having full control of a bijuu would not be anything less then power based fights and i dont think he has lost his creativity

In relation to your examples, I also found the sudden relationship swing between kuruma and naruto to be very weird. I just cant buy the fact that kuruma is so goody goody after years of hatred. I guess that Naruto's talk no jutsu for ya. In relation to the Uchiha's and the eye swapping, I like the dark history of the clan were power comes at a price. Kind of represents the fact that the eyes are a blessing and a curse at the same time. However, as you said it does seem that power can be gained very cheaply, but I guess that's because the story is reaching its climax.

Good Point. But let me ask you which character has been silent to kill since the war started.

white zetsus transforming....

To be honest, I think he has.
After the Pein arc, the only thing that managed to keep interest in Naruto, was Tobi's identity. That's it. As I was saying, after Pein arc, I consider his writing style a bit flawed.
For people to guess that Tobi is Obito... now what type of writer ar you since you're that obvious?
I wonder what he'll bring up after the War arc...Naruto Part 1 was badass, I have to agree.
Part 2 is undeniably weaker as in quality fights and stuff like that than Part 1.

9 tails is practically naruto's foster parent...he's been with him since a day old just watching everything in naruto's life even his lonely times...it is not that far out that they would become friends when they need each other the most... Well naruto more than kurama...

 

[asdeiro]

yes plot no jutsu is very usual now :\

 

[Gooner4life]

Except Eiichiro Oda.

I was just about to say that xd.

On a serious note, this was going to happen because of the way the Bijuu were hyped from the start, it was said the Kyuubi could create tsunamis etc.. With that level of power, and the necessity of Naruto controlling that power, it ended up on a massive scale. Furthermore with addition of the sage and the rinnegan, things were going to get to a OP level.

The fights have had a bit of strategy, Naruto's plan to free the tailed beast and him getting Son Goku to spit him out with clones is typically Naruto. The thing with Kakashi and Naruto against Tobi was strategical as well as Sasuke's fight with Danzo. I agree the story is more predictable and the incredible powerups have dwarfed out other characters, so it isn't as creative or fun as it once was but it was always going to get to this level.

A ninja is silent but deadly he/she uses weopens such as kunai's in missions. But now they start blowing shit up.

This ruins the who ninja concept.

Ninjas dont wear orange either -_-
