What is the most mature moment of the series?

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

The biggest and most adult in tone moment or scene from this silly shonen manga we read about orange ninja. Because there's surprisingly a lot.

 

[Tobi98]

Probably all of the Uchiha clan incident

 

[Made in Heaven]

Most of Itachi's backstory and ideals... I think. Neji's death too; with the whole death issue .... and Pain's talk about Pain and understanding one another.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Probably all of the Uchiha clan incident

Good one, that was more just visceral and violent if anything though, dark rather than just mature.

Definitely something you'd see in Afro Samurai or something lol

 

[RedRobin]

Sasuke stabbing Karin and Danzo. Ultimate character change.

 

[Cunning Linguist]

I'd agree with that. Cept Neji's death. His defeat by Naruto during the Chuunin exams and the aftermath was probably more mature

 

[take it easy]

nagato's talk about peace.

 

[hixa kuogame]

The Uchiha clan incident. The "in hell" chapter.
A lot of other moments.
Naruto has a lot of psychological and theoretical aspects that takes a mature mind to comprehend.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Good one!

Sasuke stabbing Karin and Danzo. Ultimate character change.

The Nagato suggestion is really good too.

 

[paratise]

Neji's ideals in part 1.
Lee getting crushed and making a life and death choice.
Sasuke going ham on Danzo.
Sasori and Kakuzu's way of gaining & using their powers.
Pain decimating leaf and his speech to Tsunade.

 

[Umari Senju]

Pain and Naruto's conversation about ideals and justice during their fight.

The Uchiha Massacre

Danzo's ideals and methods in general

Gaara's past. And his reconsiliation with his father so many years later.

just off the top of my head

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Well my personal pick would be this scene. Such a powerful but subliminal exchange between two intellectuals. So intense.

Trying to find motivation to bear the current plot?

 

[HokageKid]

Naruto, after Jiraiya's death, seeing this kid who is usually happy go lucky, who keeps a smile on his face no matter what someone says to him, who shows a mass of rage and fight in him when someone pisses him off, or hurts his friends, then we he finds out about Jiraiya's death, he just sort of gives up, questions the world he lives in.

LOL good one. You have my support in this yo

 

[Cunning Linguist]

The Uchiha clan incident. The "in hell" chapter.
A lot of other moments.
Naruto has a lot of psychological and theoretical aspects that takes a mature mind to comprehend.

For every psychological or philosophical part that is deep, 5 other parts are either shallow or just plain ridiculous.

 

[Gagster]

Iruka's talk with Naruto after Jaraiya's death.

 

[RedRobin]

Well my personal pick would be this scene. Such a powerful but subliminal exchange between two intellectuals. So intense.

Without knowing the scene in question, I would guess that Shikimaru just got blown by a dude
