>I've had this idea going around in my head on making a fanfiction called "Boruto Remade" which is pretty much me redoing the story of Boruto so it's better.
I've done it, the first chapter is up (but it's in spanish so…)
Do you want me to pass the link or you don't care?

>>2450
Post it for sure, It'll be a good way to practise Spanish anyway, and maybe someone will translate it into English when you're done.
I also suggest reposting this in the fanfiction thread on >>>/hobby/8063

>reminds me of some of the older dark Naruto fanfictions from 2008 or so.
So?
How were them?

>Rather dark and quite grimy…
That was kind off the intent tbh.

>>2457
Those fanfics were generally quite good, not a lot like them being made today, I reckon it's cause the 90s and 2000s were when being edgy and emo were really popular and so people were really into making gritty works
>that was the intent
I have no complaints.

>>2458
what do you think about the writing btw?

>>2459
Fairly good. I cannot give criticism as to the grammar or style since Spanish grammar and speaking mannerisms are quite different to English ones (English has the unfortunate handicap of lacking el/ella/usted which makes written dialogue much different when translated. It is why the English version of Don Quixote is quite different to the original work.

Konan, Mei, and Tsuande were the only good female characters in Naruto. More proof that anime is for incel losers since the writers are incels who can't write women.

>>2487
>forgetting Temari
>forgetting TenTen
>forgetting a whole bunch of others
&ltIf it's not about de wymyn it's incel!!!
Ok simping faggot. You do realize that Kishimoto wrote Sakura and Kushina as being inspired by his wife and she approved right? And that she was actually unhappy with Naru-Sakura NOT happening because of this right? And somehow people who are married and with children do not sound like incels to me.

>>2190
> all sort of god-shit would be awesome
Also given the insane technological progression of the Rinnegan's Asura Path (weapons dude) and the way that it updates its weaponry, Naruto and Sasuke could probably bring their world to the Space Age pretty quickly.

Speaking of Boruto. Several fillers have actually been decent, comparable to some of Shippuden's more mediocre arcs. The various jutsu and small-level fights Boruto goes through are EXACTLY what I was talking about, where-in instead of Boruto "fighting the Otsutsuki too!!" he's going on minor, but still necessary missions.

The various new jutsu shown (pics related) are also pretty interesting, such as the pyramid barrier used by Konohamaru and other such fuinjutsu. It really throws me back to old Naruto, when shit was more mystical, especially with the several new other-worldly demons being summoned and various kinjutsu/fuinjutsu being used.

As a side note someone had a pretty messed up, but interesting idea for Boruto that mixed the Otsutsuki Plot with the plot of The Last film and ended with the dissolution of the Shinobi era: https://archive.vn/8MKd5

>>2487
Hinata had a good arc, before she became a lampshade.

>>2649
>pic 3
The Haze Brother's Suicide techniques was an interesting touch, but the Tentacle Pit was a bit useless since it's first victim is the user and thus means the enemy may escape later. The Final Red Flower technique was literallly just "exploding clones" with the real body and to zero effect on Deepa apparently. How lame. Also while Boruto losing is interesting, the fact that they LIVE is idiotic and the fact that Konohamaru for some fucking reason didn't use the Wind-Rasengan to literally blow these Kara fuckers away. It feels forced AF… but then so is Isshiki beating Naruto and Sasuke like Genin while they don't use most of their best techniques (sage sensing, boil-release, 6-paths of Rinnegan, frog kumite etc.)

>>545
>Time-travel arc
I fucking rewatched some of the arc to see some jutsu (because I'm looking for where pic related is from) and because I want to know where Jiraiya used the following jutsu.
https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Fire_Release:_Fire_Dragon_Flame_Bullet

It's fucking horrible. Episode 134 has so many things that are downright stupid I feel like facepalming a dozen times, in fact I just might break down a few moments of absolute trash of the Time Slip Arc, simply for how much it fucked up the original (since most of Boruto's main content does not directly involve original Naruto series).

https://www.cbr.com/naruto-chunin-exams-no-sense-trivia/
https://archive.is/vn6Jv
>1
&ltdoesn't make sense in Naruto as the Hokage is the one who chooses which ninja take what missions
The Hokage has final say however the point is
A) show off the potential of the newest generation of Shinobi of X-village as well as the teaching skill of predecessors
B) richer customers may make specific requests, such as Asuma being part of the 12 Guardian Ninja
>2
&ltnon-consecutive exams removed
The referred to round was the preliminary round which was unplanned for. They did it because the finals would already be a long event and they needed to eliminate excess candidates, SUCH AS those who made it through the Forest of Death through luck, riding the coat-tails of their team or on the barest of margins.
>3
&ltgive the ninja who wins the trial overall a guaranteed spot as a Chūnin.
Wrong. If that were the case then any ninja with brute force can be chunnin… except that's idiotic. Shikamaru became one because of his balanced abilities in combat skills, strategy and level-headedness (outsmarting his enemies and giving up when he was essentially done for to quit wasting time in later rounds of the finals). Everyone else fought well but in terms of technical skill displayed very little. Naruto was hot-headed and Neji caught up in his hubris. Gaara was a total psycho and Sasuke was focused on revenge and power even before the Curse Seal.
Rock Lee, was brave and powerful but didn't know when to stop, resulting in him getting cripplingly hurt by an opponent with no mercy (pre talk-no-jutsu Gaara). Participation medals are not an option in a society of literal child-soldiers.
>4
&ltTenten beat offscreen
A) The anime expanded the fight and pointed out how much of a mismatch she was against Temari
B) The manga versions of Kankuro, Neji, and others opponents are reduced as well. It's a constriction of the medium
>5
&ltChange The Second Stage
I don't understand what is being said here, the Chunin exams in the manga and anime are THE ORIGINAL exams.
A 3 v 3 match is a good idea but not exclusive; each exam is different as shown with the OVA's, fillers and Boruto examples.
>Orochimaru marking Sasuke could have been avoided
'Hurr lets ruin the plot because somehow the Hokage is omnipotent about Orochimaru's interests!'
Orochimaru was introduced in this arc and showed no influence prior to this. He is also a ninja who casually defeats people on the level of Kakashi, let alone avoiding Anbu guards.
>6
&ltmany of the smaller villages like Takigakure and Otogakure only had single-digit participants!
Field promotions, individual exams, etc.
>7
&ltIt just doesn't make sense for so much emphasis to be put on testing information gathering skills when it can be skipped over entirely.
It's said outright look underneath the underneath outside of gathering information the test is to gauge your ability to judge the worth and true point of something. This is taken to the extreme during a filler arc wherein a single quietly disguised ninja set up explosives in the entire village while diverting attention, only to intentionally let himself be marked by Anbu to distract from this as well as pre-planning his faked death and REVEAL of faked death while taking into account military movements of a neighboring country and many other factors. He was playing 4D chess and despite being a dying old man, lead Konoha by the nose. And in the end it was all a big 'Treasure Hunt' he created after letting go of his intent of vengeance. (honestly it's a great arc IMO).
https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Konoha_Plans_Recapture_Mission
A good fanfiction that really plays on this aspect is https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4590441/1/Cheaters-Prosper

>8
&lthow they'd be able to locate the tower in such a short amount of time doesn't add up
A) They have a literal psychopathic jinchuriki steamrolling anyone in their way with bloody force.
B)Kankuro and Temari are also shown to be highly skilled and grew up in a literal desert and as the Kazekage's children likely received top-notch training, their tracking skills are very plausibly skilled.
>9
&ltwhenever Naruto and the others are standing around waiting for the second stage to begin, he's approached by Konohamaru and friends who ask for his autograph
This is the OUTSIDE of the Forest of Death and in full view of participants and staff. This is equivalent to family approaching their competing members before a match starts. He didn't wander in when there were no obvious restrictions.
>10
&ltgambling on the games doesn't make much sense
LOL what? It's literally a blood sport, which always has gambling on it. Horse-racing, soccer, boxing etc. are literally easy spots for 'whose gonna win/lose' betting matches.
>It's creepy
It is a society of CHILD SOLDIERS who are taught to suppress their emotions and be TOOLS. This is pretty standard behaviour, literal bread and circus a la the Colloseum of Rome.
>that outcome be the only one that's bet on
Where is this stated? We see an example of A BET, but it is not implied anywhere to be the only bet going around.
>observers will often try to sabotage the participant they want to have lose, which is something that straight-up just shouldn't be in the exams at all.
Who says they're intentionally allowed to? The mooks who tried to off Gaara for example were obviously hired goons and were an example of outside interference, and clearly not legal. This is like saying people who try to sabotage horse races means that the race itself is wrong… as if the race legally allows this.

Reminder this is by a person who at time of writing has done 138 articles on CBR…

A good review of the exams (comparing it to the BnHA Sports Festival) by MathWiz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7xnwgjkPlQ
I don't agree with everything but the overall ideas are good.

I remember watching The Chunin Exam OVA from the Blood Prison movie and being mad AF that Naruto was disqualified for a bullshit rule. FFS he didn't even FIGHT with sage-mode, he just entered it after Konohamaru landed a solid set of hits.
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5ycxcd

It really ruined the filler for me, TBH, cause I like original animation of Naruto, just for the fun value. FFS Kakashi makes jounin as a kid before completing his chidori. And yet Naruto is still a genin after defeating enemies that the hokage should have taken care of. That is some serious bias against him.
"Not fair." I always laughed at that stupid filler. They are fucking Ninja. Come on. Will an enemy not use sage power against his enemy because it's not fair? Shouldn't Ninja do anything in order to get an advantage over an enemy? If they are going to nerf Naruto in the chu in exams, then that means they are well aware of his power. Why not just give the dude a field promotion if you're just going to nerf him for the laughably stupid excuse of "not fair"?
A fic that really takes the piss out of this is https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9913124/1/Rage-to-Chunin
the points made are summarized as;
1) Why nerf sage mode but allow the use of Kekkei Genkai?
2) Weren't there fucking adults/old teens in Naruto's first chunin exams? Look at the scene before the written exam. A lot of those guys look like they are older than shippuden Naruto. And I don't think they were fucking nerfed.
3) Why place a genin on a Kage retrieval mission? and a S-rank hunt of rogue ninja (Gaara, Kakuz & Hidan, Itachi).
4) Helped Take out Kakazu, Pain and got a lot of people that we're killed in Konoha revived. He basically helped revive a shit ton of Konoha's ninjas back to life.

Another fic that does the premise of a Shippuden Naruto Chunin exam is World's Greatest Chunin Exam Team: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/TheWorldsGreatestChuninExamTeam

Naruto really should have been promoted in the first Chunin Exams, or after the Pain fight. He showed great strategy and leadership skills. If not after first two events then at the very least after the War. I'm still lowkey upset that Naruto never had a Genin team. Would've been a great way to create 3 new, super powerful characters, but instead it just feels like wasted potential. The haha, super-strong eternal genin joke got turned into something annoying.

The newest Boruto chapter (51) is hype as fuck with Naruto's new suicide jutsu/chakra form It's really awesome, but at the same time I'm pissed off because it makes Sauce and Naruto so fucking weak beyond measure. Where is the epic planetary scale dimension hopping struggle like with Kaguya. Obito, Sakura and Kakashi didn't fight for the most part, so it was Sasuke and Naruto against Kaguya whose techniques they beat time an again, even temporarily holding her back while using powers they'd only recently acquired (Rinnegan, SPSM etc.). Naruto shouldn't NEED a suicide technique for an opponent whose chakra absorption is the only reason he isn't a smear on the ground.
Fuck, even early Shippuden didn't nerf Naruto this much.

People keep saying Naruto as a show wasted potential and that's true, but frankly the true wasted potential is Boruto, because Naruto at least had way more redeeming qualities than it did problems, even with the 4th War insanity Boruto has been good idea after good idea crushed under idiocy one after another.

It's like I'm really on /v/!

>>3909
>>4764
>Kodachi is stepping down from Boruto after Chapter 52 comes out with Kishimoto coming back. Too bad it's far too late for Kishi to save the story.
FFS Naruto's new "Baryon Mode" is somehow using nuclear fission to be more powerful and kill Isshiki by taking his lifeforce too. Naruto doesn't understand it - (though somehow the chakra beast living in the wilds does) - because apparently along with flight and TSB, his SPSM has lost the "universal understanding" he was granted by (and apparently the Retsudan photonic guns and The Last's moonbusting cannon from Kumo are forgotten by him). The concept of a suicide technique doesn't really have a problem (though I don't get why they can't just pull an 8th gate Guy while they're at it), but the depiction doesn't make sense: he's not really hitting harder just stripping away life-force somehow and it means the nerfing of Naruto and Sasuke is strong as ever. Seriously, Isshiki is shown to even have the regeneration of Juudara or Kaguya yet he's stronger than both of them somehow? Kaguya was the one who apparently took Isshiki by surprise and tore off half his body (and chronologically speaking she pulled this off before eating the Shinju fruit), and Naruto managed to get the jump on her and tear off an arm, yet he can't do shit to a dying Isshiki in an imperfect vessel? FFS at least show Sasuke trying one of his genjutsu or Naruto tearing off a limb and him regenerating, at least then we'd at least see that the dude has other things up his sleeve than antman powers. Also if Naruto dies before he gets to meet Kashin Koji or learn who he is cloned from I'm gonna be annoyed AF. At least we could have Kashin Koji maybe teach Boruto or something FFS

Speaking of, Boruto episodes 174 and 175 has Orochimaru just become OP AF, and nonchalantly dismissing the miniature god-tree. The motherfucker vaporized a jonin-level kunoichi with some wind-jutsu and has a regeneration jutsu that puts the hashirama clones to shame, literally regenerating an arm he had blown off like nothing. (The animation detail for the muscles and skin with that was pretty good tho). While I like Orochimaru as a powerful character this is fucking retarded TBH, because this implies a regeneration level comparable to Juubi-Madara. Like I get Orochimaru is doing experiments and took over a Zetsu body but damn if that isn't OP. Makes me wonder how powerful Jiraiya would have been had he survived longer… then again Kashin Koji's abilities are a good example.
The way Boruto, Mitsuki and Sarada beat Deepa was pretty idiotic pulls a DBZ beam-battle. Meanwhile the compressed rasengan makes no fucking sense, a normal rasengan is as compressed as it gets FFS. Episode 176's previewed idea of a blockade also makes no fucking sense, but what else is new

>>4798
>Isshiki is shown
*isn't shown

>>3909
> Kaguya
I'm gonna be the next Hokage.

>>4810
At least someone else thinks of that joke other than me.

>>4798
The newest episode (176) played with interesting ideas about forced enclosing of the city due to the threat of spies. However it stumbles on a single stupid problem; Naruto's sensory abilities. His Negative emotion sensing and sage mode ought to let him be able to sense every single person in the elemental nations and discern who is a traitor or not through that method. He proved he could do this by
A) Discerning the Zetsu copies from real people
B) Sensing the entire war simultaneously from a far
C) Sensing and discerning the attacks of invisible Limbo clones on another dimension.
The whole thing about the Balloon used for radio communication extension is interesting, and hopefully that chekov's gun is used.

Victor's abilities are also pretty decent, though a lack of absorption hax means that a single rasenshuriken ought to take him out. His regeneration (pic related) is similar to Boro's so it likely means he has a core somewhere in his body, thus a large scale attack like rasenshuriken (which nullifies most regeneration techniques by disabling cells themselves) would take out the core and any other regeneration. Moreover, given that a hot enough flame could nullify it, I would reckon that it functions a bit like a mythological hydra - burning the wound stops regen.

>>510 (OP)
Find it quite funny that a meme/shit post thread from /roulette/'s trial period of /a/ garnered actual responses and discussion. Time to add in some mems agen.

Anyone else like Naruto’s ongoing theme about just how badly warfare can fuck a person up? Like, as a kid, even as a teen I could understand in broad strokes why Nagato was the way he was; but it wasn’t until adulthood and getting a full understanding of reality that I realized, in-universe how truly horrifying the Great Ninja Wars likely were. Like, hypothetically all we get shown are one-off fights, but if we take it and compare it to the real world you know there must have been frequent civilian massacres, brutal war rapes, mass death, etc. We already know that there were legions of torturers and maniacs such as Orochimaru who would experiment on fucking children Mengele-style that fought in the wars. Not to mention extremely powerful jinchuriki alongside their tailed beasts being controlled by the various villages. Then you finally come to tiny-ass countries like the Land of Rain which were explicitly battlegrounds not because the people or the government wanted involvement, but because they were unlucky enough to be the buffer between the large countries; like, the Land of Rain was a brutal warzone and Yahiko was basically like Ho Chi Minh trying to BTFO all the imperialists so his people could finally know peace.
Honestly this ties to the other thing I love about Naruto, is the fact that there actually are people who objectively want the world to be a better place despite being the antagonists, honestly in another story Pain really could be the hero giving Konoha their just desserts.

>Rightoid weebs try to relate to shippuden and fail utterly at understanding it (like with Tanya the Evil)
Itachi is whirling in his anime grave right now.

Seriously how do you misunderstand a quote this badly? (Not to mention the context* of the situation in general). Itachi is literally the embodiment of "sacrifice yourself for the greater good". Moreover, the main hero of the series, NARUTO, is all about the pain of loneliness and the need to rely on and fight for others as well as yourself. It's a more nuanced 'we live in a society'. Itachi was differentiating this idea from the obsession that Kabuto had.


*They live in a semi-feudal world with military-dictatorships and super-human warriors with various elemental and energy-based attacks on top of insane physical stats, societies constantly at war and subsequently having child-soldiers (LIKE ITACHI) having to sacrifice themselves for a greater good, sometimes unnecessarily. Comparing this society and it's values directly to people today is like trying to compare feudal Japan with modern Japan.

Moreover Itachi is saying this while fighting Kabuto, an orphaned boy become medic, spy and scientist whose idol was Orochimaru and his own lack of identity and trauma lead him to essentially BE Orochimaru, whilst ignoring himself and not actually having any real connections outside of a delusional idea of "genetic relation"/abilities.

>>5500
>Comparing this society and it's values directly to people today is like trying to compare feudal Japan with modern Japan.
Hypothetically what’s the difference beyond trading the Samurai for the Yakuza?

>>5526
If you don't think there is a significant difference to feudal society and capitalist society I don't know what to tell you. The fact that you parallel Samurai and Yakuza.

>>5528
They both use swords idk

>>6244
They…They lived inside a society

>>6244
BASED and VERY redpilled. and very Anti-Feudal pilled.

>>510 (OP)
Does anyone have any personal head-canon or has read any fanfiction that attempts to explain the fact that Naruto's world despite being like a feudal warring states era japan has like electricity and running water and factory production?.
Like the place that Jiraiya finds pain and co is literally like a gigantic fucking factory facility + some houses that people are like squatting inside of since most of the city seems to have been levelled by something. Its like seriously who the fuck built all this shit and then fucked it all up to this extent?
I always sorta saw it as a nod that the setting wasn't all it first appeared and was potentially a post-apocalyptic setting with some undefined event (Like a nuke war, Just a massive conventional war with guns and bombs and shit that just dragged on for way to long) that happened in the past causing the world to look like this.

>>6256
lore-wise human technology was stuck in the jomon period until aliens came and gave them magic in the form of chakra control

>>6244
is Deidara /ourguy?

>>6285
If you think about it the goal of the Akatsuki insofar as what pain and Konan want to accomplish and is trying to guide the group towards is pretty much noble. Obviously everyone else's motives for wanting to basically stop war by taking over the known world is not really ever clearly defined but its never exactly said that any of them (Deidara, Sasori, Kisame, Hidan, Kakuza etc) want to do anything particularly evil / Madera/Tobi tier either if/when they theoretically "win".

They basically just want to put feudal lords and the mercenary warlords that use child soldiers and profit off of said war on an industrial scale in the killing fields and then take away everyone's walking superweapons that can destroy the world at anytime and basically just put them in safe keeping.

>>6256
>explain the fact that Naruto's world is [anachronistic]
The most popular and probably accurate theory (supported by various ruins and the story of Kaguya - before Boruto retcons) is that the Narutoverse originated from a post apocalyptic past, and when Kaguya arrived she introduced chakra, but otherwise society still progressed as normal. After all there are literally guns in Naruto, yes I say again, there are guns in Naruto, in the shop at Land of Waves for example. But as we can see ninja are clearly far above guns in terms of speed and what not (supersonic reaction times and superhuman speed/senses on average) which undercuts their utility. Additionally chakra makes things easier so construction and innovation is easier and allows for minor amenities and simple technology like electricity, small radios, primitive computers, etc as we learly see that more complex technology is in limited supply (computers were only available to the Hokage and shinobi in limited amounts) and no access for civilians.

>>9389
I know this is a joke but goddamn if it ain't stupid.
Kakuzu did it for money, Hidan was a blood-thirsty sadomasochist, Hidan and Deidara were "artists" and Orochimaru was one out of curiosity, Zetsu was a grand manipulator that sought to free his mother. Kisame enjoyed his work, even if he simply sought a world without lies, Itachi was there to keep Madara under control (originally he was just a psycho). Out of all of them only Nagato (Pain) and Konan, who were from the original Akatsuki, wanted >the power of the tailed beasts for peace.
to generate an illusion that creates world peace
None of them were aware of this plan Madara had other than Obito.
>No more private property, states, classes, money
Except that's not it at all, the Infinite Tsukiyomi gave every individual their own perfect dream based on their desires, and none of them that we see exclude any of the stated things. It was the status quo but idyllic. Moreover the whole point is it's a dream and it's promises a lie. It's like an organic Matrix.
>living in the utopia generated by the productive forces of their minds
That's not my utopia, when nothing is real and nothing matters, nothing is made, and we don't really go anywhere. It reminds me of that episode of Star Trek, when Moriarty becomes sentient and is sent into a program that lets him explore the world of Star Trek through a computer simulation, but
A) He is not aware of it being a simulation
B) He was never a real person able to live a real physical life to begin with.

The recent episode 210 of Boruto follows up on the Boro cult that was introduced and it's surprisingly well written (if a little rushed). It kicks you in the feels like the original Naruto did. The religious sacrifices to "meet the gods" reminds me a little of Aztec/Mayan cults.
