So how much of the series do you guys think Kishi had planned out and how much do you think was just asspulled as he went?

Levi James
Why does every post so far but one have an image?
Are these the end times for /nsunsg/?
Juan King
This is the NARUTO general. Nobody here wants to read a book without pictures.
Thomas Rogers
Yes, thank god.
Grayson Carter
It's almost like we are on an imageboard or something.
Brayden Gomez
God fucking damn, I had almost forgotten about that, user. Why did you have to remind me? What that shit canon? I think that might have been Naruto's biggest canon feat of mental retardation in the entire fucking series. Bigger than not noticing Hinata for a decade. Bigger than . I want to believe what said and just go with the idea that he somehow thinks only married women can get pregnant but I just highly doubt that's the case. He was most likely a genuine 15/16 year old who thought pregnant women were just fat.
Poor Hinata. She probably had to explain all sorts of shit to this super powered retard. And then she let this retard impregnate her. Twice. That must've been horrifying. I mean she wouldn't have seen it that way because of her narusexuality but still, realizing that you're basically married to and reproducing with Lennie from Of Mice and Men can't be a comforting thought.
Evan Wilson
Yes, and I'll do it again. I like antagonizing you
Gavin Collins
Then i just won't respond, faggot.
Jacob Nguyen
So on a completely unrelated note, Temari is CLEARLY worst girl.
Jackson Williams
>Hinatafag being a retard Wow it's like retards are drawn to hinata or something.
Brody Turner
>temari is worst girl >hinata image user, please don't bait this hard. /nsunsg/ actually falls for this shit.
See?
Brody Cruz
Best girl. Right here.
Julian Wood
>Implying i fell for anything I'm responding to bait with a fact.
Ryder Clark
not today, friend.
William Gray
>Implying it's not a fact She is literally married to a retard, how is it not true?
Connor Myers
I know, It's so easy. I shouldn't have done it but I'm trying to bait a specific user, not all of /nsunsg/ I actually really like Temari.
Carter Hill
i love her hands
Isaiah Wilson
But that's not Kagura.
Austin Sullivan
Temari's shit though, Sakura is easily best girl.
Oliver Harris
I should put them to work knitting me a sweater.
Luke Barnes
>he somehow thinks only married women can get pregnant Well, look at it from the perspective of someone who clearly doesn't get romantic relationships. He doesn't know her that well, hasn't heard about her being married to anyone or in a relationship. She hasn't done anything at all since telling Hinata in the preliminaries to go ahead and give him the healing balm, and we all know how irrelevance like that worked out for Anko.
Plus everyone in that generation ended up as wizard mode, so it's feasible he's never seen a pregnant woman IRL.
Really, the series being aimed at a pretty damn young audience likely hurt it more than anything else, even worse than Kishi's writing. Reading Team 8 has me very annoyed with canon Kurenai, the character in that fic has me emotionally invested, but the canon character does fuck all, interacts with Shikamaru more than her own damn team, and at most she sends Kiba and Shino off to get her rare booze.

Madara sure had fun.

Kevin Gonzalez
You mean Kisame? This one had fun too, though being partners with Itachi was probably the most boring shit. He probably got cockblocked by him when attempting to do anything fun off their course.
Owen Williams
>he's never seen a pregnant woman IRL I find this highly unlikely because of the population size of the village, but even if that were the case, he's never even seen one or heard about pregnancy in a magazine or on TV or something? Or even just people talking about it?
I just don't see how anyone growing up around a whole village of people for 16 years couldn't know this. I mean yeah I get that he was hated as a child and no one talked to him or whatever, but clearly he had some interaction and he definitely had a shitload of people to observe at the very least.
It seems more like something I would except from Luffy than Naruto. I mean Naruto is retarded, but Luffy is next level retarded, even by shounen manga protagonist standards, and it's constantly played for laughs, so it would be more understandable coming from him.
Camden Harris
It is good that Luffy's dream is not to become a politician, and by politician I guess I mean dictator
Ethan Rodriguez
Well, he WAS a pariah, so it's hardly as if he had a good perspective at what normal people did. Does the setting even have TVs? I know by the Last they have a shitty ninja Skype set up for the Kages and feudal lords, but do normal people have similar stuff?
And it's one thing to hear or know about it than actually seeing it. As is I actually know at least one woman who has a really weird gut that makes her look like she's five months or so pregnant all the time.
Maybe he met a fat woman, tried to be nice and asked when the baby is due, only to be shouted at, resulting in him not wanting to make the same mistake again (and being a retard, mentioning it upright that the woman in sight may just be fat)? Honestly we're far overthinking a silly one-off joke in a children's manga.
Brandon Roberts
Zoro looks too much like kakashi here. Has it been revealed what happened to zoro's eye yet?
Colton Fisher
Itachi honestly seems like a cool guy if he wasn't so autistic.
Gavin Adams
>Honestly we're far overthinking a silly one-off joke in a children's manga. we definitely are. it just seemed so out of place and over the top so I just kind of got baffled, you know? I guess my autism was triggered.
Jaxon Brooks

Joseph Brown
unlike sasuke he doesn't seem like a natural jerk
Ian Howard
>Implying sasuke is a jerk He had severe ptsd from witnessing his entire family being killed by his brother. I think he honestly had a pretty alright reason, he seems pretty cool in boruto though.
Mason Thomas
Considering he was alright until Oro offered him power, I don't think that justifies it.
Lucas Collins
I unironically enjoy Kurama and Naruto bonding and shit. Please I need more.
Gabriel Torres
>He was alright >Implying >I hate you naruto >You're useless sakura >This is all your fault naruto >Naruto you idiot >MY HATRED IS ALL THAT I CARE ABOUT >well that and revenge
Evan Murphy
Teme didn't really mean it.
Angel Gonzalez
Obito becoming a prominent character, along with most of the importance conferred upon Kakashi's backstory, was planned early on; he was always meant to be a Naruto parallel, based upon his possession of those goggles. Less certain about Obito becoming the main villain being planned early on, but probably. Using a ghost from Kakashi's past and a "not so different" villain for Naruto, seems like an obvious move, once you acknowledge the above.
Minato being Naruto's dad was a thing no later than the Chunnin Exams. His hair is really wild in this pic from Chapter 16, but it's still recognizably Minato, and by the Chunnin Exam we had an even clearer picture of him.

Parker Cruz
Weren't the chunin exams after he got orochimaru'd?
Connor Martinez
That was before the forest of death which was when he was bitten
Jacob Jenkins
I really need to rewatch part 1, anyone know where i can watch it or torrent it?
Jordan Kelly
Crunchyroll with adblock on?
Grayson Nelson
Doesn't it stop you from watching so many, i think there's like 200 episodes of naruto.
Wyatt Adams

Aiden Parker
Guys the latest episode of naruto was really fucking good. The story is so well done about Kaguyas past. Is the kishimoto actually involved? Because it feels canon
Leo Roberts
Is this general dead? Or still alive?
Owen Ross
Dead >14 posters
Connor White
It's dead, Jim. We need to shitpost for a whole month to survive for the next asspull of Ass-istant
Expect more of this as we move forward with Ass-istant-kun, but this is nothing new. Itachi filler was really good, and I was particularly surprised by how good the Akatsuki stuff in the second portion was. I enjoy most of SP's Shippuden filler, but I feel like people just dismiss it because it wasn't in the manga and because the filler from the original Naruto series was so bad, so they never even bother to watch the more recent stuff.
Tyler Fisher
>a female being relevant >generic filler looking people >less advertising than the Itachi filler
It doesn't seem like Kishi was involved in the slightest

I hope they animate the Hidden books and do some SoL to fill the blank period.
Aaron Russell
It's actually 2 months. I haven't been here in a long time.
Connor Myers
You can still run! Get out of here!
Zachary Robinson
I've only been here for a month.
It's already too late for me.

Grayson Morris
Why is there no trap in naruto
Zachary Johnson
>What is Haku
Charles Gomez
What are you talking about? Haku isn't enough of a trap for you?
Anthony Williams
What about shippuden? Haku was only for a few episodes.
Cooper Phillips
Deidara sort of counts, I suppose?
Evan Moore
Not really.
Gabriel James
Reading up to the end of the Gaara Rescue Arc, without seeing the anime (can't remember if it was even out back then), I thought for the longest time that Deidara was a woman.
Lucas Sullivan
The manga might make you think so for a second or 2. The anime is a dead giveaway though
Evan Scott
>Had a dream about Kisame running circles around heavily armed guards for a stolen Samehada.
Leo Campbell
I thought it was a weird looking Ino
Jack Young
I thought he was a man when I first saw him. He doesn't look all at that female when you compare him to Kishi's female designs.(excluding Haku).
Owen Butler
true, under the Ino hair he's got pretty masculine features
Caleb Cox

Hima is cute and Background-kun's published fanfic/fanart/fanmade manga can do nothing about it.
