| free power ups is not the way to go. I was hoping shippuden would revive the series but not... all the fights were so boring and then kage bunshin training ruined the whole series for me. he fights the same but instead of making naruto do crazy things, they dumb down the enemies naruto fights.
example: the akatsuki guy with 5 hearts. wtf? he just expects naruto to be straight forward and not expect him to go from behind? is this not the guy that fought toe to toe with the 3rd hokage and live to tell the tale? there's a team of ninjas fighting him including kakashi but they got trashed. naruto comes and kills him in 2 chapters. the whole fight was just not satisfying. the thing that pissed me off the most is when yamato said naruto is different. wtf. why cant he do shit like everyone else? shikamaru, chouji, neji, shino, sasuke, gaara, etc are so much more interesting than naruto.
i was also about 13458829fd33asdfsadf times more interested in watching Team Gai fight. I also wanted to watch Gai VS kisame and not same old sharingan vs sharingan. the last part showing gai owning the kisame clone was more satisfying than anything i've seen up to that part
i have to say, the peak of the anime/manga is when naruto fought neji and won. he fought tactically and was believable. in fact, the end of the fight surprised me so much. |
