Naruto

This section is for the rational discussion of anime on a series basis. Spoilers should be expected, but please be courteous to your fellow users.

I think you are watching a different version from the one i watch. Maybe its the subtitles or the dubbing, or maybe you are reading the manga.

Naruto just has alot of stamina, he doesnt like to give up even when hes seriously hurt. It stems form his original goal to gain approval from the town people instead of being seen as the boy with a monster inside him. he doesnt have anymore chakra than any of the others.
In fact you are looking at this from a power point of view, whic isnt what the series is about. DBZ was about power levels and accending to the next level of power and fighting more and more powerful foes. Naruto isnt about that, every fighter in the show controls their chakra in a different way and it depends on their technique to decide how that chakra is released.
Neji for example is a chakra expert, he can see it and manipulate it. Sakura's medical training helps to focus her chakra on healing and strength. Lee doesnt know shinobi skills, so his chakra isnt used in his normal routine, he uses his own physical strength and training. Lee only taps into his chakra on a last resort measure like the Gaara fight, or through meditation.

You should look back at the series and see how they explain what chakra is. Its not those powers that the Saiyans have. Also you should really watch the series over and look closely at Naruto's character and personality. He likes a fight, but its not all BANG AND WHALLOP!! His fight with Gaara wasnt all about power. He used his training and his unique personality to outwit Gaara in his blind rage and he begged the Kyuubi in him to lend him some strength. In the end, even when he couldnt use his body anymore, he still wanted to fight for his friends and that determination changed Gaara's heart.

Haha! This isnt an argument, so please take no offense.

The rasengan works in different way to the chidori, thats why he and jirai can use it many times over, but sasuke and kakashi can only use the chidori a few times. Its a matter of how the techniques tap energy from the body.

Naruto does run out of energy, even after making many shadow clones and fighting at the same time against a strong and smart opponent.

Not offended in anyway, just saying my ideas. If you convince me in the process, no biggie.

Now, I'm not saying chakra is a power level issue. Rather, I'm saying that he has a natural chakra reserve bigger than the average ninja (or atleast bigger than Kakashi which was from the manga when Kakashi explained why he can't not do the same training as Naruto). Add on the his backup chakra from the fox...and he's practically unbeatable since the fox chakra also gives him regenerative abilities. I admit...he doesn't ever give up...which I guess is a good thing...and he has gotten smarter...

But his battle with Neji would have been a total loss if he didn't have the fox chakra, since he was all sealed up.

Only reason Naruto beat the ice mirror kid with with the fox chakra.

[spoiler]Only reason Naruto can master his new jutsu was because he could make a few hundred clones to practice to jutse. Something that even Kakashi can't do.[/spoiler]

Gaara's battle is bit more complicated I suppose. A large part of it is the fact that he was able to summon the large toad because he had a chakra for it...but he was rather resource full and had a better emotional link with Gaara. Possibly I'm too cynical to buy into all that "believe in yourself and the world will be yours!" message and that's why Naruto seems so annoying to me. He is far more interesting after the time skip.

...and the true reason comes forth. :lol: So i wont try anymore to convince you. I'm a more open minded person anyway, so i tend to see beyond face value and I'm very patient.

Its all good. Just consider Naruto isnt unbeatable, he has many flaws and accepts help form his friends. Even Goku could not beat Brolly alone.

Naruto is worthy character (before and after the time skip) and deserves no hate. Sasuke is selfish and arrogant, thats who you can hate. :lol: (not too much cos' hes going through pain aswell)

Well...I think every character in Naruto is in major pain at one point or another. Just same tend to deal with it better. Personally, I like Rock Lee's back story and Shikamaru's upcoming battle. Neither of them went emo and turned their backs on their friends...though Sasuke is forming a pretty interesting crew IMO...

I thought Rock Lee's back story of being the worthless ninja was the same in both...still want to know who his family is though. As for upcoming battle for Shikamaru, manga.

Shikamaru is a perfect balancing character. Mainly because you have so many different characters bent on accomplishing one huge goal or another and then you have Him. He just doesn't care what happens as long as he doesn't have to do much.

I myself would like to more about Lee's background.He's a prety fighter,funny,but sometimes annoying,just what I need to my my day a bit better.
Sasuke is my favourite charakter,but he's starting to go on my nerves in the last time,after the battle with Gaara that is.
what the hell is wrong with that guy?
Oh,and who else hates Oroshimaru?

I'm pretty sure you are supposed to not like Orochimaru...but it is interesting that they expanded a little bit into his background...wonder if we saw the whole background...would we pity him or still hate him?

Pity? I wouldn't go as far as to say that anybody can PITY Oroshimaru.He's a crazy freak. I wouldn't pity if he had to grow up feeding on rats,probably did anyway. I pity Anko though.Poor girl,she had a freak for a sensei and then thaere are some crazed fans that say Anko is in LOVE with Oroshimaru.
If she is, go see a doctor girl!
