what if this manga was called something else

[mayibongwe]

what is this story was not called "naruto". what if was "shinobi(shinobi shippuden)" or team 7(7 shippuden) or something else you can think of. dont you think we would not be complaining about how one character gets the most hype or whatever... things would probably be even.
Disclaimer: i still think kishi regrets naming it Naruto.

Kishi should have named it "The F**king Tree Shippuden"

 

[Raekwon26]

The name is the name.

If the characters still act and behave the same way, people will still have the same problems they have now with the Manga.

A different name wouldn't have changed the content/story line.

A different name wouldn't have changed the content/story line.

uhm,this story has been changed, in a way. because it is no longer about a lonely boy who struggles and has no support.
its now about a boy who is supported by everyone including a guy who kicked his a**. naruto is literally being spoonfed ryt. the kyuubi, his dad, sasuke, kakashi actually everyone(except the bad guyz ofcos)

I think the series could have pulled off "Akatsuki" or "The Tale of the Gutsy Ninja" as alternate titles, as one involves the central plot to the manga and another "the story of Naruto Uzumaki".

kishi should have named it "power of flashback"
everyone in this manga saw a flashback and gets a powerup.

I'm pretty sure there are stories out there called "Shinobi" (I think there was a movie..). I'm okay with it being "Naruto".

 

[wind charmer]

Nooooooooooooooooooo Naruto is just fine i love it as it is
he is the hero anyway =D

 

[Kurama2012]

why name it anything else? the story is about naruto he is the guy who started it all of also the story wasn't originally going to be about shinobi it was going to be about demons and magic heck if it wasn't for kishis editor sasuke and sakura would never have come into the story so at the time it wouldn't have made sense to call it anything but naruto

Generations and Parallels , all come into one true

 

[FireBird Marco]

I do agree with you. Kishimoto definitely regrets naming it Naruto and making Naruto look the way he does, and the the recent 100 chapters clearly show his regret.

They should have made it more of an ensemble cast. I hate when everything is about one character. You can only stomach so much "I'm gonna be the hokage, that's my ninja way, believe it!"
