When the show first appeared...it really looked like a NINJA type of show.. shuriken.... shadow sneaky stuff...missions..... now.... its just a scratch off of dragon ball z. Ninjas don't summon meteors..... bring people back from the dead.... glow bright yellow when he is powered up. Ninjas are suppose to kill from the shadows.... not light the whole forest up..

In a way.. I think kishi forgot that this is actually a ninja show... and got too involved in making flashy moves and battles.. I kinda wish he kept up with the ninja theme. Like for example, come on, naruto and sasuke is only fifteen or sixteen... they should not be killing hokages and expert ninjas that have been around for many many more years than them.


what are your thoughts on naruto ball z?

obviously I need to edit this quick. I am not complaining, I am just discussing about something I was thinking. I didn say anything was bad with the show. so relax people. this is not a bashing thread. its a DISCUSSION

Now they are super powered ninjas, and the only way we can tell is because once and a while they uselessly throw a shuriken or kunai.

They were never realy ninjas they were always very flashy
Kishi's way of describing a shinobi was not by style or tools but for their codes of honour and principles
Plus this is naruto ball z thread number 6848294 so get ****ed

Because summoning giant frogs and turning your hand into lightning is ninjaish.

Hahahahaha oh good times! Then you realize how sad it is when the only person who ACTUALLY acts like a Ninja in Part II is Zetsu!!!!!

And we know where Zetsu fits in the combat listings U.U

To be honest.. it's only really the main characters with the fancy powerups... and there's not a lot of them.

When you look at all the jutsu's kishi thought of, and the fact that he puts intricate logic behind every type of combat technique, its clear that his originality with this stuff is pretty good. Of course Chakra itself isnt a new concept, but the time kishi put in to explain almost every jutsu is amazing.

So as long as he keeps everything logical, im fine with the power scaling.

Once, on one of the TV programs that Naruto was running on, I heard that it was a story about Ultimate Ninjas. . . . . . . . . so, they are not ordinary ones. :dunno: :yeah:

In part 1:
- Gaara transformed into the 1 tails
- Naruto summoned a huge toad
- Orochimaru brought people back from the dead
- Kakashi caused a mini tsunami against Zabuza
- There was a guy who suffocated people with sand

They never were ninjas to begin with.
