I feel like Kishinev writing has taken a decline

[NaruSasuRival]

I'm just gonna name a couple issues I'm starting to have with this manga.

First, you may start to show us your references in matter of manga, literature, and your level of intellect. You may even consider to tell us your age, because we are starting to have issues with children who spent the entire series starring at cool picture, then suddenly get mad when their characters are taken out.

1)seems to me like naruto and sasuke are the strongest ninja alive after all these power ups. Considering the whole sa got kod by madara. So now down the line if kishi decides to make another arc he's trapped himself in as far as introducing new good guys. Like how naruto met bee. When bee and aye were first introduced it was like hell these guys are strong.
Now to be strong you either have to be naruto, sasuke, or dead. And if he did introduce another character my first thoughts would be ..." Hey....where were you when the world was getting taken over.

You ask where the character was when the world was taken over? Well, do you remember how Hagoromo was introduced? Do you even see how Kaguya is introduced?

See, you need to admit that Kishi has been introducing character from day 1, and he knows how to introduced them so well, that you have eaten the manga for more than 10 years. Why would you second guess his ability to introduce a character. You need to understand that in writing, there is something called trigger. Find a good one, then you will introduce something new, even something other than a character.

I bet guys like you are the one who hear that Kaguya is looking for soldiers and never ask a question until another planet is shown. Then, they make thread to say they have an issue. See, Kishi only need to take the manga on the moon, and you may have millions of new characters. Can you see how it looks like Yu Yu Hakuso, or so.

2) my understanding was that naruto was based on teamwork. Not two kids holding it down while everyone else gets fodderized

What does it mean? Teamwork means you do certain things in a team, but some other things are done alone. Besides, teamwork is necessary so that skills can be complemented. This tell exactly that fodders are pair with gods. What I am saying is that Naruto was put with Sasuke when he was said to be a fodder while Sasuke was a genius. The concept has not changed at all.

Just like Sakura was caught by Gaara, and Sasuke incapacitated while Naruto was fighting Gaara and Tanuki, Sasuke and Naruto are fighting Kaguya while their teammate are caught by the tree. Fighting to free your friend is teammwork as opposed to Madara who got taken out without help. He was with BZ, but they were not a team.

3)kishi ruined naruto and the kyubiis relationship. It used to be this dark evil thing locked inside of him and his fight to either suppress or control it. Now for some reason their relationship reminds me of digimon... Not cool.

Like I said, you have problem with concepts and progress. Besides, you are either confused, or mad because you are contradicting yourself without even knowing it. See, you don't even realize that if Naruto used to fight Kyuubi to suppress it or control it, a day has to come when he achieve that goal once for all.

4)naruto and sasuke couldn't even beat madara, why swap him for something god like?

Really? Don't you remember that Madara was the one who ran away during the fight. He created boulder to hide and ran away to cast his IT. He thought they would be caught, but failed. See, Naruto and Sasuke have not even shown what they are capable off because they have never been in danger against Madara. The reason Madara was taken out is that he is too weak for the two of them.

5) kakashis character is ruined.

Really? Why speak as if Kakashi was the star of the series. He was their teacher, and he had his time to shine. He knew he would be surpassed. In fact, Kishi did a great job so that Kakashi does not get in the ways of Naruto and Sasuke. Kakashi and Tsunade are the one always asking Naruto not to do this or that. Now they are out, and the kids can grow to their full potential. Just wait and see if you don't see it as the right turn of event.

6)almost 700 chapters and Sakura is still useless. Yes she has regimentation but what good has that done except heal her after she got fodderized

Again whining. Sakura was useless for most of the part 1, and her major role was to fuel the rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke. Sakura's character was for simple Japanese fanservice, but these days are over. I am even surprised that Sakura was able to make it this far, and you should praise Kishi for that. She is neither Senju, nor Uchiha, nor Uzumaki, nor Huyaga. If you expected her to be more than what she is, I would say you are not reading Naruto.

7)I have to reiterate this. It really really REALLY bothers me that naruto and sasuke are now the strongest shinobi alive.

Well, I am disappointed that you did not notice they have always been the strongest shinobi alive. See, Hagoromo and Hamura, Indra and Ashura, Hashirama and Madara, and now Naruto and Sasuke. This is the very basis of the manga. This is why Konoha is Konoha.

Aaaaaand 8) the whole darkness feel to the story has been pretty much destroyed . The story line almost doesn't even make sense

So how do you think Madara was? How is Kaguya? Aren't they dark?

Well, I guess you want the heroes to be also dark and kill without asking questions.

You don't have to agree but i have to say this last arc is squeezing the last drop out of the lemon. There's no way there's gonna be another arc.

Well, I disagree with your rant. I think you should check yourself before checking the manga. Do you really understand the series?

 

[battlestatio]

In an interview, I believe Kishi once said that all your favourite characters are going to shine right before the Juubi revival. I guess he assumed that everyone's favourite characters are either Naruto, Sasuke, Madara and a few other OP characters.

TBH, it is tiring to see Naruto and Sasuke fight together since they did so against Juubito, then Madara and now Kaguya. There is little to no originality and the cycle repeats itself. The War Arc had potential but even then, once Madara was revived and Naruto acquired BM, the power levels skyrocketed so high that most shinobi became fodders in comparison.

I don't believe in making everyone powerful and most kage level shinobi and below should remain at their current power level. However, recently in One Piece, Usopp, who is supposed to be the weakest strawhat, managed to knock a vital enemy unconscious while he himself was unconscious, releasing all the toys and turning them back into humans. This was just comic relief but a fodder like Usopp managed to upset the plans of a veteran like Doflamingo.

The manga would have been even better if we saw more low tiered fights along with the high tiered fights.

The story isn't over. You can't be impatient, problems will be solved.

A story tells the solution to the problems, you just see the problems, not the solutions or their foreshadowing
