“Because you lack… hatred”

That jounin single handedly caused Shippuden

Okay this is interesting. I’m not sure if this is unique to this translation, but I went back to check the anime episode where that conversation between Jiraya and Kakashi happened, and the anime never stated that that conversation happened before the ”real chunnin” exams started. So I was...

Obligatory “Kurenai used genjutsu on Itachi” meme

Its a shame we don’t ever see that anbu kunoichi again, she was really pretty.

One of the times Naruto is legitimately cool is this fight, even Sasuke is awestruck.

Chapters like these show that nobody understood anything about Sasuke. Kakashi and Sakura just impose their own view of him in the hope that he’ll turn out fine. Its that negligence that contributed to the outcome of the first part of the story.

Its actually refreshing that Shino’s has terrifying techniques. You had the Sound, Sand, Orochimaru having terrifying techniques so its nice having one of the good guy using creepy techniques too.

One of my favorite techniques, it’s just a cool concept with the reaper and exchanging the users life to seal someone/something.

Scenes like these are what solidify Shikamaru as one of the best characters in the entire series. This whole chunnin exams he’s been extremely reliable, the most surprising out of the rookies. You first see him as just a bum but he’s the most mature and level headed out of the rookies. Kishi...

In hindsight, this is actually a really advanced jutsu Sasuke learned at this age from what we learn later on in the story.

Nice to see Kakashi neglected his student for an entire month

Great, now that Sasuke has arrived, Sakura can finally start to focus on… Sasuke…?

Naruto almost perfectly executed the legendary Yamcha pose.

The anime definitely executed the thriller part of this scene so much better.

Yes, because girls are not allowed to try hard. Like is this seriously the best Kishi can do with girl characters? And I was actually wondering what impression Lee’s fight had on Sakura, she just doesn’t understand. Its really hard to defend Kishi from being accused of being misogynistic when he...

As I read through this, I realize that Naruto is so incompeten. Holy shit, Naruto is striving to become the best ninja in the village and he can’t be bothered to understand such basic concepts. Like I know Naruto was designed to be a moron so that we can get exposition on the power system, but...

Oh yes… the clown… What a reliable substitute Kakashi. This is will be the start of how Kakashi becomes a not so great character.

Still in the top 5 best fights in the entire series.
