Hobgoblin2099 posted:Maybe Kakashi will come up with some special exam for him. I mean, the Chuunin Exam is supposed to be taken on teams and, aside from Sasuke, no one else on his team is even that rank anymore. Maybe he'll be on Kurenai's kid's team.

They make it to the combat round and get their asses handed to them by some new super prodigies. They're are denied promotion under the grounds of getting curb-stomped by ten year olds.

You say that negatively but picturing Naruto being a teacher is actually pretty nice. In accordance with the official Viz translation of the last chapter, it makes me all warm and fuzzy

PiedPiper posted:That is the best worst ending ever. It is SO disappointing, it's actually genius. No the best ending would have been if they ended it like 20 chapters when that guy said "Thank you Naruto and Sasuke for saving the world" Last panel of 690 http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Naruto/Naruto-690--Ninja-s------?id=206440 I really wanted it to just end there, it would be some 80/90s videogame poo poo ending.

Lets ignore that 2 out of the 5 Kage's were women, Kishi doesn't hate women, he just can't write "lol kishimoto hates women" just seems so lazy Also godfucking damnit Kishimoto, If you don't have a bonus chapter where Naruto just Killua's the poo poo out of the Chunnin exam I'm going to be pissed as poo poo. That's been the one thing I've been looking forward to since part 2 loving started.

Naruto could just use the shadow clone to split himself into normal Naruto, sage Naruto and Kyuubi Naruto and just do the entire exam himself for extra giggles. I hope that spoiler ending isn't the actual end, that is some Reborn level "welp, story is over I guess!" poo poo. Plus, just keeping the five Kage, chuunin exam etc ninja system is ultra retarded and goes against the themes of the entire last 6 years of the manga. If Luffy doesn't actually become Pirate King too, I'll flip my poo poo!

I can't recall if there are any teams with more women than men.

Whenever it's convenient he's "dumb" and he didn't listen in school or whatever, trying to make him out to be an underdog. But then all the rest of the time, he's mastering insanely difficult techniques, has a ton of power and wins literally every fight he's in through outsmarting his opponent. Honestly, aside from the Naras and Kakashi he is pretty much the best tactican in the leaf village. It just comes across as lazy and inconsistent characterisation.

Yeah, Naruto is only dumb when the audience needs to have something explained to them. Naruto is book dumb, but is one of the better battle technicians in the leaf. Like if I wanted something plotted out ahead of time I would go to Shikamaru, in the middle of the Fight Naruto is far better at improvisation.

I wish we'd gotten more stuff like Naruto disguising himself as a Fuma Shuriken/Akamaru/a rock. Those was probably some of the smartest things I've seen Naruto do in the series.

That ending doesn't have the callback to Itachi and Sasuke so it's infinitely better even though it's still bad.

He has things significantly more useful than those, clones of himself. Like it's not unique like those special events, but almost every single Naruto fight uses distractions and misdirections, via his clones for him to land or at least attempt to land his attacks. That's something I did like about the series as it went on, Kishimoto rarely stops and felates his characters(Besides Shikamaru) for doing even the slightest tactical move, It's treated more as a normal thing.

Wait a second wasn't Naruto was already given the rank of Chuunin after his test against Kakashi along with Sakura at the start of part 2 or was that a mistranslation.

Yeah, Naruto and Sasuke are still Genin while pretty much everyone else is a Chunin. The exceptions are Neji, Temari, and Kankuro, who are Jounin, and Kazekage Gaara. You'd think Shikamaru would be a Jounin already, but eh.
