It's Official, this manga is solely about Powerups

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

The last 10 chapters have all been about introducing characters and having them do cool poses and new attacks to make the retards and the 10 year olds go WOAahaahAHHHHhHhH

But i'm not impressed, there's no substance or plot anymore. Kishi's just showcasing jutsu and showing off with characters now Minato has KCM, InoShikaCho have a new move, Shino can summon, Kiba can add one more head to his current jutsu (woo), Hinata took up 2 pages with some lame attack we've seen before, The Hokage use the barrier, Minato is given more feats with FTG and now to just top it off everyone can use summonings.

WHY. Why would these abilities only be unveiled now? All at once? You think if they'd used them in the actual bulk of the war itself all those people wouldn't have had to die? Neji could still be here. Kishi's just pulling all these techniques out of his arse because he's forgotten about them all so he thinks in 2-3 chapters he can just throw it all at once. The summonings don't even make much sense to me as I just assumed the reason Naruto stopped using them is because things got too intense since Pain and they'd just end up needlessly dying, so they'll just be fine now? suddenly the Sannin comparisons are suddenly important again? how many years has it been since people gave a sh*t about the Sannin? We're still comparing Sasuke to Orochimaru?

Ugh, whilst it was nice to see Kishi hasn't forgotten about the K11 (except for Sai but hey thats a rant for another time grrr) the manga has gone completely the wrong way about it, in a way that I have no reason to care...at all. This manga isn't about plot or character progression anymore, it's a competition to see whose favourite character gets the most flashy lights and feats. And I do not care about it.

 

[Acid Ace]

Noooooooooooo it's the logic loop!

 

[phylos]

It's been like that for years. Nothing new under the Sun.

 

[chopstickchakra]

Yes you are so right. These klast 10 chapters completely nullify the previous 620 chapters that have such depth of story and background and relationship among it's characters. Never has a wiser statement been stated o grand stater.

Sai wasn't part of K11 so eff him.

 

[Imperfect]

The manga is building up to the climax and the Juubi and Madara have been hyped to the max.

Now all the other characters are getting their due power ups because otherwise the SA doesn't stand a f*cking chance.

Nice read though, good try

 

[take it easy]

disagree with you

 

[Hipster Madara]

I agree it was out of nowhere.
As for Sai, Kishi doesn't like him. His editors forced him to create Sai.

 

[Optimistic]

Yes i agree(Mainly cause i'm waiting for a new EMS move) but there's been power up after power up every chapter.At least if Kishi does it now then all this bs will be out of the way for good.

 

[Shura]

I agree. The plot was better when the Akatsuki was still alive.

 

[Baka Sennin]

yeah this whole arc has been one nonsense move after another

It's sad because there was so much potential, the last good chapter was when Sasuke headed out for the battlefield and when Obito kidnapped Kakashi, both of these were much more interesting yet are we cutting back to their emotional conflict that is literally the cause and heart of this war? No. Because the stupid people who read this manga and use the word 'soloking' whine whenever they get one chapter with any depth and not even one sharingan jutsu light show (example: Kabuto's flashback was fantastic and gave a layer of depth for the fight & the comparison between Itachi & Kabuto yet people just complained because they were 'bored')

 

[ItachiStillSolos]

Sorry, but I disagree or at least partially, I am glad the Rookie 9 got some screen-time. I have been waiting for this for quite some time now U_U

 

[Sir Blades]

Agreed, when ever they were powering up i felt nothing, compared to when i was younger and was reading part 1, and saw someone power up i would stare at the page for minutes. =D

 

[GenKiDama]

you'll notice the smarter people will agree with you, the people who support naruto just because they see the name will say no. Myself I agree completely.

 

[YowYan]

The show Naruto has been dead to me since early 2012

 

[Retsu]

The thing I don't understand is when kishi had a chance to showcase everyone's strength during the war, he spent his time bringing a certain dead ninja back, and let them do all the heavy lifting...(coughItachicough). and now since his plot device is once again dead, it's like Kishi has lost all pacing on how to power ppl up, it does indeed suck.

 

[andrewperez]

I like it idk what you guys are complaining about .... we havnt seen anyone push to there limits yet ..and now there all at there limits with some hope left ... minato can go beast mode cuz he has half ninetails chakara in him and now naruto and kuruma are friends dont see anything wrong with the chapter.. no one really has a big power boost just saskura

 

[Blaze Release]

The amount of nonsense and contradictory shit is over 9000.
Just sit back and lol, thats what i do now anyway

I'm only reason i'm still reading this is to make it seem like all the time i've been reading this was worth it in the end, somehow.

And this all had to be done in one chapter? If Kishi wasn't just pulling these out of his arse then we would've seen triple cerberus or the bug summonings during the battlefield, especially with how far pushed they were (Neji was pushed to his limits) The fact that we had to get 15 straight pages of flashy lights means that he's all just shoving it in at the end as he forgot about them for so long.

There's no room for character communication or progression because theres literally not enough panel space left. I mean... SASUKE'S BACK. The Hokages are all here! Wheres Obito & Kakashi? Their story must be ending soon. This isn't something that should just be glossed over. This is just my opinion but still.
