Why are some people so envious of Characters having more power? Why limited a persons potential instead of embracing it? Let the series progress as the crator envision it,No one is forcing you to read it.

Yeah, I would continue to read it- i'm obsessed with naruto to be honest. I just have issues with the redundant obito/rin flashbacks and I wish madara was using the juubi's power to REALLY f*** sh** up instead of just pretty much standing there waiting for them..

I would suggest to be honest.

A lot of people in the base have promised to quit the manga for the same reason you exposed, and they keep doing destructive criticism on the forums... there are people which character could be fodderized, powerups that is not of the taste of the reader, or who knows what reason they would have to quit... ._. so, frankly, I think this thread will have with luck one or two persons that would REALLY stop reading the manga.

...because generally there is not truly honest person out there, when we talk about these kind of changes of behavior.

Well, I really don't care... Naruto is very entertaining, so I don't care about strange moves from his author. If he finishes the manga, I'm all right.

I generally read one manga chapter 2 or 3 times. maybe 4 or 5 times if more sasuke in it.

first raw version, second mangapanda .. third, *********** ... so it takes my full day :D if you include waiting time.
sometimes i can't concentrate on my work because i keep thinking who that person might be.

Apart from causing problems within the story itself, the war has also set up the anime for disaster. Everyone that had watched Bleach knows what I'm talking about. Having such a long war, Kubo forced the Anime to commit to huge, non-relevant filler arcs that don't mesh with the story. At least when there are proper length arcs the anime has opportunities to create meshed filler arcs on the tail end of manga arcs. War arcs like during the climax of the Arrancar arc in Bleach and the current arc in Naruto potentially destroy their anime counterparts. And we all know what happened to Bleach.

You would not know what talk no jutsu, plot no jutsu, or the idea of an asspull is if it was not for this site. No I would not allow the influence of others make me quit the last story of my childhood.

I can't imagine a story line that would keep my interest once Madara is defeated. I can see a few chapters after to wrap up any loose ends. But there is no way to top Madara as the final villain. So, I guess I'm saying I wouldn't read it past Madara being defeated and the war ending. I see the manga ending by the end of this year. That is more than enough time to resolve the issues with Sasuke. There is no reason for it to last longer.

There are a lot of things which are left unexplained and can't be done in a matter of year:
1- Sasuke vs Naruto
2- Who will become the Hokage?
3- How to kill madara
4- Sage of the Six Paths
5- God Tree mystery?
6- The world's redemption(power, charka, cycle of hatred)
......

I wouldn't drop it, as i like it they way it is at the moment.

Personally found it funny, when people complain about stuff these asspull power ups, i mean come on stuff like these should be expected with a series like Naruto and the fact the Kishimoto himself takes inspiration from DragonBall/Z. As i'm very excited to the new changes with Naruto and Sasuke, in future chapters of the series.

Well, yes. I'd Agree with you on some parts in regards to the whole "Talk No Jutsu", But what you got to understand is that it's the whole point of Naruto, his very destiny to bring people together. if you do not like that Naruto talks to these villains hoping to get them out of whatever they are doing and to bring peace (With the extra punch up of course). Then you might as well drop the manga right now. As Naruto WILL succeed Hagoromo, and he WILL talk to them. But if you was saying that it's all talk and nothing really is progressing and the story starts to get stale. Then yes, I'd agree with you on that one.

Personally i think there was LOADS of character development in regards to Obito, Rin and Kakashi. As all we got was flashbacks after flashbacks about them. Sure we could of got a bit more history about Rin, but i do not think it's really necessary at this point.

Well, not really. Sage Mode and the Rinnegan are not being past around like pass the parcel party game. So that's just nonsense. As so far with the Rinnegan it's been Nagato, who was chosen by Madara to have his eyes transplanted into before his death, as Nagato himself is an Uzumaki and could use it to some extent. Obito, well he kind of took the one (or two i forgot) and was also able to use it because of the Senju DNA from the zetsu thing attached to him. Madara, well he DID awaken them and also had Senju DNA transplanted into him. Sage mode well i could show panels after panels to how hard it can be to achieve it. So it's also not really being passed around.

Obito losing to kakashi in 1v1 was also complete plot no jutsu. He lost to kakashi with same set of moves they used 10 years ago , and he suddenly is unable to use rinnegan and mokuton which he had.

Well, these kind of things happen all the time, with stories, so it's really to be expected.

So that's my two cents, i'd really suggest giving it a break or just dropping it if you are really not enjoying it anymore, for me. I'll be carrying on enjoying it myself as i've found it be really good lately. War has dragged on but yeah.

I still find Naruto very interesting, and think the story line is very good. I've invested to much time to not find out how this all ends, and will continue to the end. I do think that the power-up have gotten some what ridiculous, but there still cool to see.

I actually have really enjoyed the war arc. I was bored to death with Kubo during the fullbring arc, but I am absolutly loving the current arc in bleach. Furthermore, I am really excited for when the anime gets back to canon- The face pasted action that seemed drawn out in the manga is perfect for portrayal in a anime setting.

-Instead of reading it chapter by chapter, I would suggest reading the war arc again in bundles of 10-15 chapters straight. It makes the pacing seem much more natural.

Will continue until the end. Even not liking some decisions Kishi has made.
It's not like we approve every line of all books we read.

And the only thing i really didn't like was Minato perfect sage mode, everything else was quite good until now.

I would still follow the manga. I am not the one to talk since I didn't even put a single penny into this franchise, since it is not even sold where I live. I am very grateful to Kishi for probably the most interesting world w/ all these chakra/jutsu mechanics. It is very interesting to see it being explored.

However, quality dropped SO MUCH. Remember those awesome scenes of mind games and trickery. Like when Kakashi confronts Kabuto in the hospital when Kabuto intended to kill Sasuke? Or Team 7 vs Zabuza? The Chunin exams...

It was all so intricate and interesting. Fights right now are good, don't get me wrong, but they are just power-up fest.

I also think writing aspects and characterization dropped significantly. Kishi gambles too much on what he presents. I also didn't feel anything about Rin, Obito, and Kakashi.

And this representation of "deep", "wise" stuff from 12 year old pacifist ninjas, who despite demanding peace, engage and desire to partake in the most violent profession existing in their world... It is kind of lame, contradicting, and pointless. At least, Madara address that contradiction that this shinobi world lives by, though it does not make the situation much better.
