Generation by generation nins are becoming weaker and weaker

[thebunkofthebrave]

Recently I started to reread Naruto and considering the points like:

In old-times:

- So6P was the beginning of every thing (though I don't know his age);

- Hashirama and Madara established the village, both had a monstrous ability;

- Great Sannin (eternal Oro);

- Minato sealed Kyubi fighting alone (though he died);

- Creatures like Itachi (slaughtered whole clan, actually I see him as a killing machine(regardless clan massacre) almost every intent to kill was successful, which always had a definition "massive corpse"), Nagato (found Akatsuki, killed one of the Sannin, destroyed Konoha).


but NOW:

- the village was destroyed wholly on the first day of the invasion ;

- no Sannin;

- K11 still lack some power, already one of them died; the only one who has is Naruto but still not complete, too much TnJ; Sasuke, his plans often fail

- there is still no medic nins like Tsunade and Shizune;

- Anbus are enough weak. They exist to be killed.

-Konohamaru is the strongest character in the next generation, and he is also weak compared to Naruto, Sasuke and the others.

I wonder is it me or things are so, that generation by generation Konoha shinobis are becoming weaker and weaker?

Do you think the next generation of Naruto will be even more weaker or not? your thoughts.

I blame the education system.

 

[Optimistic]

Konohamaru is weak which is kind of disappointing since he's the only decent one as well as Hanabi.
Naruto in the first ever chapter can beat him using his 1000 clones.

 

[Fodder#5]

I blame the education system.

Haha. But that's a good thing since there won't be a need for ninjas after this war

 

[Draphsin]

I blame the education system.

I blame the community for not giving them places to lift.

 

[Cosman]

I blame the education system.

Iruka and the other instructors can't teach for shit.

 

[Ōkami]

Iruka and the other instructors can't teach for shit.

No it was Hashirama deciding that learning was more important then killing.

Thus weak ninjas are born.

Imagine if things never changed, Sakura could have been useful.

Actually, she'd probably be dead U_U.

I guess you're right. Brutality over teaching lessons...

Makes for great ninja.

Give them more time. Everyone's still young and can still grow in ability.

 

[Narutoarchive101]

The thing is that the new generations of ninja basically grew up in the time of peace so it is not much of a big hurry to up and they are not assign much dangerous mission so they don't get to build up much experience on till they advance more later on back then ninja where born defending themselves they did not have time to be a kid thus they where busy mastering there ninja skills just to survive now its not much on that level now it's just trying to be betters than there classmate not much real world experience . So that's why the present generation of ninja or not as rootless and dangerous like the past generations

 

[ToruneNamikaze]

You forgot Tobirama, created Edo Tensei, FTG, and is very proficient in Suition. BTW Nagato is older than Minato and the new generation are still kids and Sasuke is Top 10 while Naruto is Top 5, everyone who is stronger than them weren't as powerful when they were 16.

 

[Ōkami]

They're still teens, don't compare them to adults until they reach that age.

/thread

When Hashi and Madara were teens they were constantly fighting each other to the death.

 

[0jordinio0]

The likes of Itachi, Gai, Minato and Kakashi were all Jonin/Anbu level before they were 16. The only two out of the Konoha 11 besides Naruto with that kind of strength was Neji, and Lee.

Even then, Naruto without Sage Mode or Bijuu Mode is about as strong as a low leveled Jonin.

Naruto should have had his other abilities focused on before the power-ups, then they'd atleast make sense.

 

[tripol]

True talk..shinobis from Konoha become more useless as the generations go by.

 

[Prime Rib]

reason why hashirama,tobirama,madara etc are so strong is when you grow up in war its all about power they most likely train alot more than any shinobi

 

[Nous]

Really? Sasuke and Naruto are Top 10 and are only 16 years old. Hashirama, Madara and even Rikudo Sennin weren't that powerful when they were still teenagers. And Itachi? He was only 21 years old at death which is really young. He is also Top 10 and I doubt Madara etc. we're that powerful at the age of 21. Now Obito Uchiha - he has Gedo Mazo, Kamui, Rinnegan, Mokuton and Six Paths. He has clearly surpassed Madara and could fight neck and neck with Hashirama. How bout that? Sasuke, Itachi, Naruto, presumably Kakashi all surpassed the Sannin. As did Nagato and Nagato could have arguably surpassed Madara as well. The generations aren't getting weaker - this generation is too young to compare. When Sasuke and Naruto are in their prime they'll be able to single handedly challenge Hashirama and Madara and may surpass Rikudo Sennin at the looks of their progress.

 

[Retsu]

This isn't true, Choji mastered his butterfly mode, something none of his family has done, Ino linked all the shinobi on the battlefield, something that made her fathers nose bleed even when he had a machine on helping him, when that was said it wasn't supposed to mean everyone from the k11 would be stronger than the sannin, I think it was more in general.

 

[Narutoarchive101]

You know the thing that upset me in naruto the fact the Madara is bragging about being so strong that he wiped the floor with the five kages he needs to remember he is a edo zombie with unlimited chakra plus the first hokages jutsu and in the fight with them most of the jutsu he uses are not his where is this great Madara Uchiha what would he say if he was in a fight with the five of them alive and don't have the first's jutsu

 

[Sacrosanct]

Only if Tobirama never died, none of this would have happened.
