Sakura finally is far beyond just competent and a meat shield...her expert control of chakra was good for something...Naruto isn't too bad himself... :wink:

I'm a little surprised at Sakura's vast improvement. And a little surprise at her initial check out of Naruto.

I kind of thought Naruto would of progressed in strength and skill a bit more. Even though he did almsot get kakashi back for his special finger jutsu.

What do you expect from the person who houses the nine tailed fox. It's like watching Gokou go through so many transformations in DBZ and wonder "Will he ever stop?"

Which is one of the main reasons I don't like the Naruto character...he solves every problem by using the fox chakra or his large chakra reserve. Like making 100 clones...or needing to learn a hard tech...or needing to beat up Gaara, add more chakra...everything is solved with chakra...

If the word 'chakra' was replaced with 'money', Naruto would be basically fighting all his problems in life by throwing 'money' at them.

Which is why I want Rock Lee to be the main character...or atleast Shikamaru...but that's just me...

Fear not.

Like every good series, the main character (Naruto) should die at the end

:wink: :shock:

Actually they all use chakra, its the power behind their Shinobi skills. So that is an issue. As for his kyuubi chakra, he has only used that in maybe 6 occasions (not episodes) out of the many many battles he has had. He used it most in his last battle against Sasuke. Naruto solves most of his issues with his big heart. He ends up inspiring people he meets and helping them defeat their foes. Abit cheesy, but its nice. His Rassengan move was just used in the fillers alot, just for kicks....even Naruto joked about that move being used too much.

Be careful not to compare him to Goku blindly just cos' he is the main character. Goku is an alien with immense power that develops in a different way. Naruto characters are abit more down to earth.

Naruto has improved in shippuden, evident just from that little sparring match. More of his skill will show in the rest of the series. His personality is still the same, but he didnt waste 2 years worth of training with Jirai.

Just note, he IS the lead character and he WILL always win, even if it takes many episodes to get there. Its just how things are with most tv shows.

Naruto already has a naturally large chakra pool. The nine tail fox chakra is just thrown in for good measures once in awhile. And while everyone uses chakra, no one seems to have the same pool to work with as Naruto. Sakura only started to rock what I asume is storing her chakra like ... what's her face ... the fifth Hokage. Shikamaru doesn't have much chakra. Rock Lee has access a lot only by putting his body through extreme strain. Choiji works off his fat reserves.

Naruto beat the kid with the ice mirrors by...going somewhat insane and using the nine tail fox chakra. Naruto beat Neji with a lot of shadow clones and fox chakra after Neji sealed Naruto up (though I admit...he showed some intelligence in that fight). Naruto beat Gaara be using his large amount of chakra to summon the big toad (which most people can't do cause they just don't have the reserve availible) and though I guess he did touch Gaara's inner emotion (but without the chakra, Naruto would have been a smear on the ground).

Naruto's best techniques are often effective because he has enough chakra to back them up (cept the Rasengan but he sure uses it a lot...asuming his chakra reserve means he didn't have a 3 use limit like Sasuke).

[spoiler]And then there's how me mastered his new move in the new season...way too many clones...even Kakashi said Naruto is the only one that could do it because Naruto is only one that can make so many clones.[/spoiler]

As for using his big heart...meh...I think that only worked on Gaara and Neji. And that was after he kicked Neji's ass and crippled Gaara.

I personally find Shikamaru's detailed battle plans and Rock Lee's general going for broke style more entertaining and less cheesy.
