sai had issues, but he was willing to put in the work to deal with them instead of dedicating his life to acting how he thought was cool when he was 12 years old

unlike naruto, bort is just a naturally gifted ninja. however, there have been several 'normal' ninjas who were completely ridiculous.

also, you'd think that maybe the indra and ashura bloodlines reuniting might be some big special thing, but that's not what happened thanks to an in-continuity movie.

HitTheTargets posted:I'm sure the plan was that there'd be at least as many Eyes as there were Tailed Beasts, but Sasuke needed to stay special so in the end he gets the only two that matter. that's the supposed natural way to get a rinnegan, but not a single person ever met those requirements. sasuke got his from the sage, madara got his by swapping spit with hashirama, and pain's were just madara's hand-me-downs.

orochimaru is impossible to kill, and at the end of the war all sins were forgiven so why not try to make peace with him?

orochimaru is a weird gross child molester but he is still a better dad than sasuke. he saw the biggest douchebag in all the land get a pass because beloved hero naruto vouched for him. any kid of his would have a hard time being accepted because their dad was a weird gross child molester, but if mitsuki latched on to someone like naruto he might have an easier time. it totally worked.

uh, he could quasi-teleport new clones to the office if something happened. for important meetings and such, sure, he should be present, but for paperwork, why not use a clone? it's not like anything dire would happen if he was delayed by 5 minutes every time his clone sat on a thumbtack or some dumb poo poo. the real reason is that naruto has to be an absentee father because otherwise kishi's story about absentee fathers wouldn't work. it's a really important subject to him.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:I think, on top of it being a good set up for the story, you gotta consider that Naruto can't possibly be a 9am to 9pm Ninja President *and* a 24/7 father. Shadow Clones aren't infinite stamina, and both roles are a massive burden. He's already shown to be constantly burnt out with being Hokage, which is the job he has to do, so i'm guessing it's more of a failing to find the right balance of sending out clones to spread himself all the time, and not being able to afford messing up with clones in the office. he can be in far more than two places at once, so why couldn't he be in exactly two?

RealFoxy posted:Thankfully we'll get the Naruto/Sakura ship we never wanted via proxy of their children. Unless Boruto and Mitsuki develop a relationship. oddly enough, naruto's motivation was never becoming friends with everyone. he had some really weird hangups about friendship, and despite being much closer to many of his other peers he fixated on his one true friend (who he never really spent much time with and didn't like him very much). instead, his primary motivation was gaining recognition and respect from a town where everyone without a name and face hated his guts. it worked, even. naruto's really popular among the nameless, faceless crowd now.

chakra gatling guns are basically mass-produced narutos. it's not like naruto ever used stealth, so the world is just following his lead and focusing on brute force instead of traditional ninja poo poo.

Mymla posted:Yeah, this team 7 so far is much better than the last, which basically worked by Naruto and Sasuke kinda just doing their own thing while Sakura watched and got scared a lot. well, the old team 7 ran a few errands in town, had a single mission (while sakura contributed nothing), took an exam (while sakura contributed nothing), fought a giant sand monster (while sakura contributed nothing), and then years later fought a moon god (while sakura contributed nothing). also, i'm pretty sure that sasuke and naruto fought against each other more times than they fought alongside each other. i don't see how bort & co could possibly be worse than the previous team 7.

her 'holding her own' was the most pathetic poo poo imaginable. she could only use the most basic ninja elementary school poo poo, like not even an exploding tag. sakura definitely needed that year of low-danger apprenticeship most kids took before attempting the chuunin exam, unlike every other kid in her ninja elementary school class. i guess no one thought they needed to explain to her that she needed to learn new skills and improve since sakura was supposed to be the smart one.

Larryb posted:True, if you think about it Sakura in part 1 was actually lower on the totem pole in regards to fighting than even Tenten was. She has no actual skills beyond the very basics and what she does learn later all comes from Tsunade's playbook (which Sakura still never really uses quite as effectively). sakura barely managed to reach a draw against ino via her undiagnosed mental illness. but then, even though ino was the second weakest person in the exam that's just because she wasn't terribly suited for 1 on 1 matches. that's a world of difference from sakura, who was equally useless in both team and solo battles.

another problem with bleach filler is that they had to cut into that ridiculous single arc that lasted for years in real time and like a day in the story repeatedly. so on top of the filler arcs being terrible, they also couldn't fit into continuity because there were no openings for them to happen.

kakashi as a versatile and tricky opponent would only work if he had more stamina than an asthmatic 10 year old. he only lasts for like 5 minutes, max, so he always had to go for the big one-shot move.

it'd be better if it was because he was in a fight somewhere instead of doing deeply important paperwork that he couldn't possibly leave for an hour, along with the clone popping in the dumbest way imaginable.

the real reason naruto alone spends his every waking hour on paperwork is because he is barely literate. it turns out chucking an orphan baby into an apartment with a box of instant ramen and shrugging isn't so great for mental and social development.

uchiha go nuts because they care too much . the subject of their affection doesn't need to be another uchiha. so, sasuke isn't protecting sarada from uchiha bullshit, just the fact that the village still low-key hates his guts with good reason. that, or sasuke assumed that no one could love sakura, not even their daughter.
