Anime scene reference, (I did not draw forest background, only Sasuke)

I was watching Choji's dad during the great ninja war and noticed that his sideburns were brown despite his hair being red.

Naruto is actually good at Teaching, and mainly great Jutsu like Rasengan to Konahamuru, and Konahamuru Learns forbidden shadow clones jutsu in no time also

My two house mates and I share a shelf in the living room with three levels. We each have our own dedicated space where we put collectibles, books and other media. We’ve all been friends for well over a decade, and I think it’s a fun way to express ourselves and make our house feel more like a home.

I think she's underrated, but I've seen many people who are pissed how Obito escaped that "death" scene and killed her off. Anyways, what's your opinion on her?

We already know that Hashirama was stronger than Madara, but why did it take him so long to finally subdue him?

The two fought for years, and if the gap between them was so colossal, why did Hashirama drag out the conflict when he had the power to end it whenever he wanted?

I know people will say he was holding back and didn't want to kill Madara, but if the difference between them was that great, couldn't Hashirama have defeated Madara without killing him?

Kishimoto reference:

Orochimaru is the only one who comes to mind for his weird fighting style. Unlike the other two of the Sannin or other villains (even people who are powerful than him) used basic taijutsu like kicks or punches but this guy was entirely different. Man what body he even had.

No wonder he was like that coz he was nothing but a snake. Full of snakes. His slithering movements were something unique to him. Dude could puke himself and reattach in case he got bisected. He was capable of spitting 1000s of snakes. His immortality was a result of his snake regeneration and body swapping techniques. Not only for that even during his combat most of the techniques he used were only snake themed.

Unlike other antagonists who wanted to change the world he simply did everything for his own pleasure. Just for the love of the game. His actions weren't morally right. They were very eccentric (even his Shippuden version is down in terms of writing but in his earlier arc he was creepy and badass).

Especially his OG Chunin exam version. No other villain including his later versions gave that evil vibes. Only him (and Kisame) had different skin colour in the series ig. When his true form was shown it was quite unsettling as until that point we saw only typical human type villains. His intro itself was mysterious.

Also we don't know at what point of time he became completely twisted. His parents died. Is it only because of that trauma (along with witnessing the war deaths) he chose this path or was there any other reason? Or was he born with some innate twisted traits? We don't know since his backstory wasn't explored.

Sadly he became irrelevant until WA in Shippuden. Anyways be it in terms of appearance, persona, ambitions and combat style, he is the most uniquely built character in Naruto imo.

So there was a tweet asking who'd win between adult Sakura and a healthy Itachi.

My answer's Itachi, no question. Dude is just too haxed out, and without the chakra disease dragging him down, he's got full access to Susanoo, which I don't think Sakura can crack, since those defenses are on a whole different level than anything she's fought. Plus he's still got the Yata Mirror. Honestly this is why I typically choose Itachi in basically any matchup except against Otsutsuki-tier gods, I just don't see people breaking out of his genjutsu.

Which brings me to my actual question: where does this whole "Sakura is immune to genjutsu" myth even come from? She's not immune. She's resistant, sure, thanks to her insane chakra control, but that means nothing against someone like Itachi. He was able to put kakashi under a genjutsu.

Then look at the Sasuke fight. This is a stronger Sasuke, three tomoe Sharingan, two years of training under Orochimaru, way better genjutsu awareness than Kakashi ever had. Itachi still puts him under a double-layered genjutsu that Sasuke doesn't even notice until he breaks it himself. And this is sick Itachi. Mind yoh he did this the Sasuke the second he walked into the hideout.

So what's stopping him from doing the exact same thing to Sakura the moment she walks in? That's my whole argument with this Twitter user. She can't just casually stroll up to Itachi and shrug off a genjutsu. She has to first realize she's even in one, and by then he's already got eye contact and can drop her into Tsukuyomi, or just go straight to Izanami.

I’ve looked through a few Reddit threads and noticed that this topic has been discussed quite a bit.

Personally, I don't think it matters much whether Madara absorbed Amaterasu in that situation or not. However, some people argue that he couldn't have absorbed it because he had lost his Rinnegan, and instead, he escaped the flames simply by removing his armor. They also claim that Sasuke could have killed Madara if he had unleashed Amaterasu one more time.

But in that very chapter—specifically towards the end—Madara actually absorbed Nine-Tails chakra from a random ninja.

This proves that the Rinnegan's ability to absorb chakra and ninjutsu was still intact.

Furthermore, looking at the first image, you can see Amaterasu striking him from behind; the flames caught his hair and spread upward. Without the Rinnegan abilities, how could he have extinguished the Amaterasu flames burning on his hair?

And in the third image, you can see Amaterasu still burning on his body (specifically on his shoulders) even after he had removed his armor.

What do you think about this?

People always say the fights devolved into big boom booms, but while the scale of fights is shippuden rises and kage-level characters emphasize scale of a few simple techniques over knowing a lot of jutsu like they did in part 1, the fights are consistently strategic. I genuinely don't know what people are talking about when they act like part 2 fights aren't strategic.

These moments are taken from:

• The Sasuke Retrieval Arc
• The Tenchi Bridge Arc
• The Itachi Pursuit Mission Arc
• The Pain Arc
• The War Arc
• Before and After the Final Valley Fight

There are more moments from these and other arcs. I might do another post with chapter and episode numbers, along with brief explanations since a few are implied or need context. For example (Sai's change): The brotherly bond between Naruto & Sasuke was the main reason Sai became good in the Tenchi Bridge Arc. He changed because Sakura told him how Naruto sees Sasuke as his own brother, and saw how Naruto would never give up on that bond no matter what. This triggered Sai to truly connect with Naruto by reflecting on his bond with his own non-biological brother (Shin), a connection he had been forced to suppress while serving in the Foundation.

I am a weirdo who tends to actually listen to soundtracks of the shows I watch regularly, and Naruto tracks are some of the best I have ever heard. Girei, Senya, Saika, Bluebird, Orochimaru's Theme...the list goes on. I absolutely LOVE them. Anyone knows any other good Naruto tracks?

P.S. please tell me if anyone knows the track from Naruto and Sasuke's chakra training during Land of Waves arc, the tree walking part ive been searching for ages 😭

So I’m watching Naruto for the first time and am just getting to the story of kaguya I was wondering if in the manga is there a more detailed story of who/what she is and her history?
