The turtle showed up for Gai to do a double jump off of a while back when he beat up Kisame.

It was pretty great.

I think all of Tsunade's slugs are just Katsuyu. Which is weird, since we've seen a ton of toads and snakes.

They are all varying sizes of her depending on the chakra spent to summon her. Multiple times when running low on chakra she exclaims variations of "this is as large of katsuyu as i could get?".

Also, that turtle was so pissed at guy it was awesome

The fact that Katsuyu is just one, giant organism and every summon is just variations on how much of her you can call up makes Tsunade's summon animal at least a million percent more interesting and fleshed out than any save the Frogs. So naturally, Kishi doesn't give them any focus or screentime at all.

Slug summon is the best summon and the fact that Sakura can also use it just makes how pointless Kishi made her that much more disappointing.

Treat it like Mt. Rushmore and pretend they always intended to only have the first 6 Hokages there.

If the last chapter is any indication Naruto and Sasuke may be about to die from blood loss. So the answer is hopefully, I guess.

Since Kakashi is Hokage, it means that even after this near-apocalyptic war people thought 'Nah, let's stick to the old ways, no need to unite or anything'. There is literally Ninja Jesus living next door, and the world's as lovely as it ever was.

By the way, do ninjas have retirement funds and unions?

Naruto's failing makes absolutely no sense because while we've been told that he failed multiple times he's also the same age as everyone else. So I guess he somehow passed the entrance requirement a year or more before all the other kids, including the two genius eye hackers, or repeatedly failed the exit exam which is open to any student to take and is administered at set times in the year. But then if there's a way to either enter ninja elementary early or leave early then it once again makes no sense that he was classmates with Sasuke who would have been chomping at the bit to become a ninja, avenge his clan, and then rebuild it.

Entry tests and exit test that can be taken at any time by ninja kids does explain both Itachi and Kakashi being full ninjas before they were 10. Of course then you've got team Kakashi who were clearly all the same age and were formed after graduation with the same character make-up of Team 7. Maybe ninja school was both started earlier for kids and ended earlier back in the day, and anyone mentioning how young Itachi and Kakashi were when they graduated falls flat on it's face in universe, like bragging about graduation High School at 18.

Jesus never ruled an Earthy kingdom. It's his followers who would go on to become kings and presidents and dictators and poo poo. The world is united in it's belief in friendship and ramen, the Kages are just there acting as district managers in this new world of Ninja Orange and Believing It.

Can attempt the test whenever there is a test, and Naruto just decided to attempt the test a few times before anyone else. Why who the gently caress knows, but yeah.

Also, Kakashi was a child during a war, the requirements were probably lessened, especially due to his parentage. He was just a special talent. Kakashi graduated from the academy at 5 chunnin at age 6 and created the Chidori at like age 10.


Itachi was 7 at graduation, and 10 when he became a Chunnin. And Led ANBU at like 13.

It's probably just more that anyone who showed any sort of talent and skill at a young age got promoted especially during Kakashi's childhood since they were at War, and Itachi grew up while the war was winding down or almost over.

But then, of course, the peace eventually crumbles as the world splits into factions at bitter war over one, simple, driving question: What is It?

I suspect the Third Hokage probably threw him into ninja elementary at a young age either because he thought he'd be good at it or to keep him the gently caress out of trouble.
