Kakuzo hyped to have fought against the 1st hokage and lived. Gets defeated by mostly chunin.

Kakuzu's hype wasn't that much. He had all 5 elements and it took a bunch of people to bring him down. Naruto is above chunin level even if he didn't graduate.

Kakuzu was a great character.

"fighting against the 1st hokage" was barely hype. It was more to show how old he was than anything. They even said that the first defeated him. Not hype.

Hiruzen and the Anbu are the first ones that come to my mind.
One is supposed to be the strongest Hokage the other is an organization who's apparently just a bunch of fodders who're supposed to be stronger than the average jonin.

If you are hoping/expecting to see a certain character display his abilities/strength and you do not get the chance to see them that does not mean they are weak or cannot perform the task.



Its kishi's not yours.The outright stupitidty of some of you people sometimes is just staggering.
If kishi states something it is true.
If kishi has a character say something it is true unless stated otherwise or proven false in the future.

Dumbasses like to point out a line one character might say as false if it turns out to be false.
This is a story not everything mentioned is the words of kishi but of the characters.


Kishi is not going to modify his story to please your little fantasties.If it does not fit the tone,or pattern the series is on it will not be included just for the sake.That is shoddy story telling.

It goes to Hurizen in all honest. Aside from his feat of deduce skills and mastering the 5 elements, he is nothing more than a washed up group of fodder.

You'll regret saying that. Kishi took out 3 of the Hokage for a reason while he left him still intact. He will have a big role and WILL show his feats.

Some liek to think your in control of the manga.
Its kishi's not yours.The outright stpiidity of yopu people sometimes is just staggering.

Here's the problem with the whole "it's my story so screw you" argument people like to trot out as a way to negate criticism.It usually falls apart when the author needs to get payed.
