What happened to the overall ninja theme in Naruto where you hid before you attacked where you used weapons like kunia and katana and strategy in every fight Naruto is becoming a downgraded dbz universe

Even in the original it wasn't all hide and attack. There was open battle too. This massive war isn't uncharacteristic of the series.

That is not even close to being a definition of a theme.

I think the last interesting fight was Itachi vs Sasuke.

Havn't seen anyone perform any cool hand seals anymore either, it's all instant ;/ so really it wasn't a big deal that Lee & Gai couldn't perform jutsu when hardly anyone does anymore.

Because back then naruto was weak
now he is strong and dosent need to carefully attack his enemy

OT : JUST BECAUSE IT HAS EPIC FIGHTS DOSENT MEANS ITS A DBZ RIP-OFF

both anime/manga have something special of its own

Oh really now?! Nobody dies and talk always solves the problem. Nope, still has its theme.

OT: Yeah, I miss when Kunai's made a difference.

The running themes in naruto are even more prevalent now than ever
It's like saying water is not as wet as it use to be
Now as far as the typical archetype o ninja naruto has never been that

I understand where you're coming from like the fight between team 7 and the demon of the hidden mist zabuza. Yeah those fights were astonishing and well thought out.

But you must understand naruto as a series is transforming into a more action like anime which is pretty cool in itself. As the characters develop so does the show. i'm not exactly 100% sure why you said tactics and strategies aren't important anymore.
If i recall it took a lot of tactics and strategies to defeat six paths obito. And they also needed a strategy to distract rikudou madara so obito can reach naruto in the other dimension.

That required strategy for obito,kakashi,minato ect...naruto got a big upgrade. besides when your enemy is rikudou madara a lot of jutsu won't effect him and if naruto and sasuke didn't upgrade they would have been goners for sure. So ordinary tactics don't work on enemies like madara. That's why naruto and sasuke are so OP

But hopefully we'll see some hand signs sooner or later.

when you first learned that naruto had a fox demon sealed inside him which was said to destroy mountains with its tails alone, how powerful did you think the characters would be by the end?

naruto has never been a typical ninja manga and look at dragon ball the series you just compared naruto to, dragon ball went from a martial arts manga to action sci-fi and don't act like part 1 never had its grand battles like gaara vs naruto and the sannin battle to sasuke and naruto they was all beyond what you would think of as a ninja manga
