The Yamanaka clan serves as Konoha’s primary interrogation unit; furthermore, its members are invaluable to the village's security, thanks to their sensory abilities.
The Nara clan is highly useful when it comes to paperwork and the administration of the village they are among the most reliable and effective ninja the Hokage could ask for. In fact, this clan holds the distinction of being one of the few to have produced a Hokage.
But what about the Akimichi? Beyond their physical strength and their ability to grow in size, what else do they offer? What makes them so special earning them the status of a "noble clan", that other prominent clans, such as the Nara, Yamanaka, or Sarutobi, do not possess?

Seeing that music was also a big part of what made the anime series so endearing and impactful, who are your top picks for the composer of this upcoming live action Naruto?

Imagine we get a collab from Hans Zimmer and Yasuharu Takanashi...

So I went home to collect a bunch of my belongings to bring to my permanent new home and came across this guy here. It turns out it's in pretty damn good condition still too. I am flabbergasted and little shocked. So I thought I would share it and also ask if anyone else still has their old copies?

In episode 78/79 when Naruto is fighting Gaara Gamabunta tells him to transform into something with claws and fangs. Did he know Naruto had Kurama inside of him? I haven't read the manga or watched in Japanese so I don't know if the translation is exact but I'm curious. I'm rewatching Naruto after a couple of years and I can't remember if that gets explained later.

Would you have liked if there had been some more arcs in the manga focusing on them, with some of them dying to the Akatsuki while others are saved by Naruto and the good guys? Then during the war, Tobi could have relied more on using the Bijuu he had captured and less on zetsus and reincarnations.

Nagato was 100% right about the ninja world. Smaller places like the Rain Village were basically just punching bags for the big nations and that whole cycle of revenge was built right into how the system ran.

When Naruto talks him down, he doesn't actually give a real solution or prove Nagato wrong. He basically just asks Nagato to trust that he won't give up. Naruto ends up bringing peace later because he becomes a living legend everyone respects but Pain's point about the big villages stepping on the little guys was never really answered.

Personally I want it to be around 50 or so chapters and a biweekly one .

Seishi Kishimoto himself confirmed this on his Twitter/X account. Link to Seishi's actual post

Did they build a Naruto Sasuke statue with both of them doing that infinite tsukuyomi undoing handsign ?? Representing the fact that the reincarnations of Indra and ashura aren't against each other in a battle stance anymore BUT are with each other in unity ??

One of the reasons why I am so excited for shadow rising is that we can see what happens to Vally of the End , we see Naruto and sasuke fighting on water from the previews so it's definitely Valley of the End

I honestly think the Chinoike clan had SO much wasted potential, and here's how I'd have incorporated them into the main story:

1. I'd introduce Chino much earlier in Shippuden, during the Hebi/Taka era. She'd join Sasuke's group while secretly planning to kill him to avenge her clan, the Chinoike, who were historically persecuted and exiled by the Uchiha. In the original story, the Uchiha were hired to force the Chinoike into the Valley of Hell, so I'd expand on that history and turn their past conflict into a much deeper rivalry. Chino would still be one of the last surviving members of her clan, as in the original story.

1. What makes this even more interesting is that Chino and Sasuke actually seemed to get along pretty well in Sasuke Shinden, despite their initial conflict. That's why I feel like their friendship was wasted. They already had the foundation for a genuinely interesting bond, but it barely went anywhere after that story. Imagine if their relationship had been developed throughout Shippuden and continued beyond that instead of being limited to a side story!

1. Eventually, Chino would give up her revenge and become one of Sasuke's closest and most loyal friends, alongside Naruto. All three experienced loneliness in different ways, and both Sasuke and Chino witnessed the destruction of their respective clans. I think Chino could've become one of the few people capable of truly understanding Sasuke on a personal level, someone who could relate to his pain in a way that was different from Naruto.

1. I'd also make the Chinoike another distant branch of Indra's descendants, with their bloodline having diverged over generations through intermarriage and other changes. That way, the Uchiha wouldn't be the only clan with a powerful dōjutsu connected to Indra's lineage.

1. Konoha's five most prominent clans in this version would be the Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, Hyuga, and Chinoike. I would've loved to see the Chinoike become an established part of the village's history rather than remaining a relatively obscure clan introduced so late in the story.

- And finally, I would've loved to see three major dōjutsu stand out as the most powerful in Naruto/Naruto Shippuden (instead of the Byakugan, Sharingan and Rinnegan in the og story): the Tenseigan as the ultimate evolution of the Byakugan, the Rinnegan, and an evolved version of the Ketsuryugan that combines its unique abilities with Ōtsutsuki chakra. Imagine the potential of that!

Honestly, I feel like Kishimoto could've done SO much more with the Chinoike clan. Chino could've had a much bigger role in Sasuke's character development, their rivalry could've added another layer to the history of the Uchiha, and their dōjutsu could've become one of the most fascinating in the series.

I didn't know how to title this properly lol

I have a question. When Naruto said this about the Uchiha clan, was he aware that they had been wiped out? I ask because this comes off as very insensitive.

If you have a chapter where we are told he is aware, can you please cite it? Thanks.
