In hindsight, not really a very advanced sounding move. Seems like most jounin with decency at ninjutsu and chakra control could prolly easily learn this move. why didnt everyone and their mother in the ninja forces of the hidden leaf learn it?
>>
Kishi is fucking awful at everything he does

>considered a great master technique
It was an incomplete technique that Minato didn't even thought it was worthy of passing to someone else, because as said, it wasn't complete.
>>
Remember when Naruto had strategy, people actually used weapons consistently, the Konoha 12 were relevant and notion of "working hard" actually meant something?

Ahh good times. Part 1 will always blow away the craptastic Part 2 in everyway shape or form.

>>135626265

No. The show just had too many plot holes, reverse characterization, shitty deaths, zombies and one of the worst final villians I seen in a manga in years in Koguya.

Part 1 is leaps and bounds better than Part 2. The only reason so many people finished Part 2 was because Kishi sucked in so many readers with how great Part 1 was. Hell even the Naruto vs Sasuke fight in Part 1 was much better than the shitty Part 2 fight.

I think he gave up writing in the 4th world war arc. Reviving old characters like Zabuza or Asuma is a lame move.

>>135625976
it was still a completely decent attack. I mean this incomplete technique could compete with chidori. Still no reason why so many more people couldnt/wouldnt benefit from learning it.

yeah yeah. Jiariya knew it from Minato and taught it to naruto. kakashi picked it up, cause why not he is haxy at stealing moves.

I know most people dropped the manga during the asshaterry that was after the timeskip, but this is addressed.

Kakashi eventually says to naruto, that rasengan is piss easy to learn and he has to infuse his own elements into it.

The reason why others don't learn it is because it was essentially considered an incomplete technique. Original Rasengan is no more powerful than a Tsunade Punch.
>>
>>135627242

Naruto never even became a fucking Chunin yet this guy becomes the Hokage?

What is the point of having ranks when the Hokage himself bypassed all the other ranks? Really shit on the whole ninja ranking hierarchy.
>>
>>135627242
point is, naruto's world building is fail that they have such a shitty and underdeveloped promotion system thats as simple as "Wow some judges on one of 2 specific days of a year"

and the fact that if thats the case, half the genin cast prolly shoulda been promoted after the chuunin exams saga.

like nobody can recognize you and your talents beyond those two days.
>>
>>135627345

Hokage is an elected position, meaning even thought it is normally the most powerful ninja in the village it can be anyone.
>>
>>135627404
And yet naruto became it. not, say, Shikamaru who was a talented ninja, and a genius who in a political position as such could have thrived even more, and is just lazy enough to prefer such a desk job.

>>135627302
because kunai < punching in the world of naruto. Kunai and shurikens only existed to remind us they were suppose to be ninjas.
>>
>>135627345
Hokage isn't a rank, it's a title, they are chosen by their recognition. Stop being retarded, from all the things that you could complain you had to choose something that makes perfect sense.
>>
>>135627516
Naruto is the hero of the village who gained everyone's respect. Shikamaru didn't do such things, the people want Naruto, not Shikamaru.
>>
>>135627516

Naruto was the hero of the leaf village, father was hokage and the most powerful ninja in the village.

By the time Kakashi gave up the position naruto had matured enough that they were willing to pass the position onto him with shikamaru as his advisore.
>>
>>135627568
wasnt it some old elders council who votes it in though, not the citizens?

Because even though senin are great legends in ninja arts, no fucking person outside of some inner circles seemed to know who they were, especially not enough to elect Tsunade.
>>
>>135627568

So fuck smarts, rankings and best for positions but be a hero and you can be a Hokage. Grade A writing Kishi.

>>135627658
Well he is quite strong and all the politics are handled by shikamaru (I'd assume).

Chidori was an incredibly shitty attack that in no way was worth the massive chakra cost it had.

It's a fucking melee thrust. A fucking sword can do the job just as well.

The Narutards are actually trying to convince themselves that Naruto would be a better Hokage than Shikimaru.

Unbelievable. Everything besides power Shik beats Naruto pretty handily.

The series was gradually declining since the Chuunin Exams, but the breaking point was the "Sasuke hunts for Itachi" arc. That's where all of the irreversibly bad plot points started.
>Orochimaru's anticlimactic death.
>Sharingan can do basically anything
>Itachi was a good guy who couldn't even kill his brother, despite being able to kill the rest of his family
>goofy comic relief Tobi is actually one of the main villains
>Sasuke wants to destroy Konoha for flimsy reasons

Only decent stuff after that were the parts with Pain, and even that had a weak ending to sour it.
>>
Kakashi has a 1000 jutsus but barely uses any of them in the series.

Fucking Kishi. Instead we get Kakashi getting power from a dead guy to do a Susano.
>>
>>135628827
but didn't Itachi let his brother lived because he was innocent, while the rest of the entire Uchiha family was planning a coup?

I seem to remember something like that

This has been exaggerated far too much.

A great example is the entirety of the Edo Hokages helping out the Alliance against Juubito

Or Naruto vs 3rd Raikage

Or Edo Minato, Rock Lee and Gaara setting up 8th Gates Gai for the first hit

Or Gaara beating the 2nd Mizukage by giving everyone a fucking physics lesson

Or Kakashi, Gai and Naruto finding a loophole in Kamui to finally hit Obito

Or Sasuke vs Deidara

Or Itachi and Sasuke vs Kabuto

There was a lot of strategy in employeed in Part 2, the problem was that the explosions and gay memes distracted you
>>
>>135626478
The show at that point was still about being a ninja and a teamworker. Stealth, intelligence, and leadership counted for something. Of course, this already faded by the end of Naruto 1, I recall Naruto and Gaara having a Godzilla fight.

Biggest problem with naruto story as a whole can prolly be traced to the Uchihas.

Before it was jsut a small part of things. it involved the supporting main character, sasuke, naturally. it was his motivation

by the end of it, the Uchiha substory became;
>The basis of Konoha's creation and the relation with the first hokage
>Three main villains
>Dark past of kakashi
>Sharingan became way too much.

at some point everything in the naruto universe revolved around the uchihas in some major way.
>>
>>135629367

It really only made him capable of using Rasenshuriken 3 times instead only once

And he ended up winning with a regular rasengan, after pretending to be a bunch of rocks

Also they were just normal smoke bombs

Yeah.

Shikamaru got rid of an OP villain by being super smart.
>>
>>135629814
You do realize there's a 10 year time-skip right. Just because we never saw Tobirama and Hashirama use 1000 jutsu doesn't mean they didn't know how to use them.

And there was no such thing as a requirement to become Hokage. It all goes back to the will of fire or whatever
>>
>>135629814
>Am I the only one who remembered the requirements for being the Hokage was to learn at least 1000 different techniques?

So there has only ever been two Hokage? The first two, the fourth, the fifth and the seventh all knew much less than 1000 jutsu.

I'm going to have to get you to cite your sources with the page in which it was stated as a requirement.

The only thing I can think of that is related to your point is Kakashi being known as "the Copy Ninja who has copied over 1000 jutsu" or possibly Hiruzen's stated reputation of "The Professor" for "knowing every Jutsu in the village" which I would suspect does not include Hiden jutsu.
>>
>>135629814
That was supposed to be the Third Hokage, who was also said to be the strongest Hokage. Until the First was reintroduced.
>>
>>135629172

One of the most important qualities to being a leader is to have people who actually WANT to be led by you. That's what leading is. It takes a certain kind of magnetic personality and charisma that people can really get behind to make them willingly be under your command

You can still be "in charge", but if nobody fucking wants you to be in charge, that's not leading. That's dictating

This was one of my favorite characters from part. Was bad ass how he controled sound waves from that speaker to fuck up people's equilibrium. Really like his character design and personality too.

>>135629714
So essentially what I said: hes qualified because he makes people feel good

Ill never forget that this is a childs cartoon but I'm considering shit like politics and military defense and other shit like infrastructure. Just making people feel good isnt going to handle all of that. In that sense, Donald Trump is the most qualified guy to run the most powerful nation on earth because hes going to make us feel like America is great again despite never holding any political positions. And he still is more qualified becaus hes actually intelligent and ran organizations and businesses.

Naruto basically just fights people and makes friends.

>>
>>135630201
But you're talking like Naruto is a bad Hokage because he's not a 200 IQ genius like Shikamaru.

You don't need that to be a good Hokage, you don't need to be a genius. Just because he's not a genius doesn't mean he's dumb as a brick and doesn't know about how to lead a country, he prepared himself for 10 years, you're literally judging a 17 y/o kid not being 40 y/o mentally.

Naruto's ideal of being Hokage was literally to just be the best ninja in the village. Not to lead the masses. not to harbor peace relations. not with ny system in mind that will better prosper the future.

naruto's plan was literally to become Hokage, and thats it. He never cared about the position. He just wanted to say he was it.

for people to actually elect and pass the title to him, even if he did save the village and become a hero, on that basis alone, are complete one side retards

I'm not sure if this is bait or you're just buttmad for some reason Naruto is Hokage but it doesn't make sense. Naruto is around 30 y/o when he becomes a Hokage, all the time before that he actually grew up. Hell read the first chapter of the manga and the last chapter, you can see he's grown up.

Just because he's goofy and not a 200 IQ genius doesn't mean he's an idiot that doesn't know how to lead a country.

You're thinking of Naruto when he was 12 years old, not the way he was at the end of Part 2

His mission was to reform the shinobi system so that it didn't fucking ruin everyone's lives

He wanted to fix what was making all the villages feel compelled to kill each other

Did you miss that existential crisis when Nagato was asking him how he planned on doing that?

By the time he fought Sasuke, after successfully helping the Alliance work together, he got the conviction to try uniting people through the common good. Sasuke, on the other hand, didn't share his faith in people to change without being forced to by a common enemy

Shikamaru was the only one to pass the exam when they were kids every step of the way.
He was promoted constantly and eventually made the equivalent of a army commander.
Naruto may be the "hero" due to circumstance, but Shikamaru is the real fucking deal. Through his own abilities and not genetic or situational probability.
I would not be surprised if Shikamaru flat out turned down the position to instead be Naruto's political and military advisor (which he did become). This scenario sounds much more believable.

That's because it's his character. He's a baka only when he's joking around, when he needs to get things done, he gets them done.

Pic related, ends the whole drama just by Glaring at onion kid. Finds them a home and thinks about making them fit for society with discipline and training.

Read the other things he tells to Sarada too.

>>135630732
The Hokage protects the country and he's the public face, he also leads lots of shit. The actual "leaders" are the feudal lords or whatever, we see them around a couple times, they don't really seem to understand shit about ruling countries nor do they seem too interested in that. So you can guess the Hokage and his advisers do that too.

Chidori is not an ambush attack, why don't you read the manga.

You literally charge head on and fuck them with superspeed and a thrust to the heart, it's incredibly powerful too(and it cuts a lot because lightning manipulation) so they can't really block it.

Incomplete technique that wastes a lot of chakra. It's supposed to be elemental, but only Naruto managed that.

Rasengan is A rank jutsu for a reason, it's not easy to learn. Also there's the fact that you don't go around teaching everyone and their mom your personal jutsus retard.

Minato probably would've teached it when it was complete, he didn't think
>Hey i'm going to die when i'm 20 something so I should just go and teach them this incomplete jutsu now
Or he maybe never planned on teaching it to anyone, who knows.

Jiraiya sure as hell gave 0 fucks about Konoha so of course he didn't teach it, Kakashi never had students before Naruto's group either.

I feel like Naruto would have been a lot better if Rock Lee was the MC.

Agreed

I think Kishi realized this himself later on, but by then he was just in too deep to undo it Much like how he didn't expect Hinata to be so much more popular than Sakura but it was too late to switch over the main female role

It should have just been Sasuke's teleportation move he got at the very end from Ninja Buddha, since it's basically the same damn thing with some tweaks

That isn't what the Hokage actually does. A top leader pretty much chooses the direction for the group, leaves the details to the experts under them, and rallies the group to do what the experts decide.

Naruto probably said, "Let's rebuild the village to be more modern and less secretive."

He didn't draw the sewer maps. He didn't organize the construction crews. He makes big decisions every now and then, spending the rest of his time keeping up relations with other villages, making public appearances, and rubber stamping everything his experts want to do.

Why am I poorly explaining organizational politics on /a/?
