Did you miss when someone posted the link to that a couple threads back?

Xth for more shitty art. This time from 2005. I was 12.
Logan Green
No, but I didn't click the link, because I love myself.

12 year old Hinata is best Hinata

So how many pictures of my asshole do I have to post to prove I'm not a normie?
Kayden Morales
All of them.
Daniel Edwards
Well as of right now none exist. So I guess I've already posted all 0 of them.
Samuel Cook
Normie confirmed.
How does it feel to be one of the crowd?
Robert Morales
Pretty good now that I think about it, actually.
Benjamin Ross
Being a normie is nowhere near as bad as ACTUAL retards make it out to be.
We get to still be fucking weebs online, but get to avoid the worser aspects of being fully window-licking autistic.
Ayden Green
Does being a wageslave also count as normie?
Oliver Barnes
Probably. But I'm also one, and due to BEING a wageslave, I was able to buy a new laptop for myself after two weeks of not-even-really-saving. I don't mind being a wageslaving materialistic piece of shit if it means I get nice things.
And since my boss died several weeks ago, and his brother doesn't want to run the business full time since he's retirement-age, I'm on track to become editor at the end of the year, meaning woo pay bump and woo less people to answer to
Leo Bell
Goddamit it's cute... My inner 12-year-old is going crazy.

> tfw I'm pretty certain Hinata was like one of my first crushes
Matthew Harris
Not the worst choice if you ask me. There was something appealing about her, even if she was underwritten.
Angel Bennett
Underwritten is the best thing to be if you're a girl in Naruto.
More screentime means more chance to wreck your character, since Kishi can't write females to save his life. It's truly a sin that he can design them so well, but can't do them justice.

Xavier Russell
It's good at this point. It's most dead at this time, but I think that's because most shitposters are either asleep or at work.
It is very nice at this time. Even better because it's night for me, so I just unwind, play vidya and keep half an eye on this.
Robert Ortiz
Was a reason ever canonically given for Kakashi wearing the mask, or is it just his design?
Dylan Wright
Again, you are not wrong. Also, the more I look at this the more it reminds me of Sealab 2021, and I have mixed feelings about it.
Grayson Adams
So is Kaguya's teleportation tilt even worth using? I think it would be better if the other person couldn't see where you would be teleporting to.

I can't believe how shit my taste was back then. At least highschool me was able to identify Saske as a stupid shitty edgelord at the time
Cooper Reyes
You'd have to be blind, deaf and retarded to not be able to pick Sasuke as an edgy shitlord.
> haha alright tell me about yourselves > I don't have likes or dislikes > hopes and dreams are just words > I have determination to kill someone > look at me everyone I'm so dark and soulful, to want to kill someone at age 12
Parker Wilson
Never really liked Sakura. She just was there but had nothing noteworthy to add. No skills, no interesting gimmick, nothing. She honestly could not exist in part 1, and nothing in narrative whould have changed. Also I never understood the appeal of Sasuke as a character. He was just... bland. Shino and Kiba had less screentime and still managed to be more interesting than him (conceptwise at least).
Ayden James
>that kid that wore a ninja headband to school
Grayson Martinez
> Sasuke was never matched up against Shino because without horrific plot armour, he'd lose It's great.
Bentley Wood
I wonder if any of the bile that people write online about the series ever reaches Kishi, and if he ever considers any of it, or just puts his fingers in his ears and goes 'la la la my series is perfect Uchiha are the strongest in the Leaf la la la'
Levi Cruz
Opposite for me I don't dislike Hinata at all, but I'm way past the point of looking for any more
I also hate the Jesus duo This series needed more stupid sexy Kakashi
Hunter Walker
Also, as much as I like Naruto as a character, I really think he should have lost to Kiba during their match. The fart was not funny. I hate that Naruto was written as the "Idiot Hero". I can dig that he is unpredictable, or (let's say) street smart, but it could be shown in much more constructive way than what we had.
Andrew Ortiz
What? The bugs drain him, until CS mark activates, and then it's GG for Shino. That's only in part one though.
Part 2 Sauce pares him at any point in time.
Once you factor in Kishi plot armor all it means is that Shino lost in a genjutsu and was never in a position to fight at all.
Jaxon Cruz
Ditto, hey. To me it was pretty much the first (or near-first) of a long line of asspulls that resulted in Kishimoto getting too carried away with the strength of the opponent and having an 'Oh shit, hang out, how will the protagonist actually win?' moment.
Julian Bennett
>Nardo >street smart Pick one He is consistently shown to be next level dumb in everything until he became buddha
Lucas Sanders
> CS activates > the bugs are now hyped up on Natural Energy-imbued chakra This is not a winning scenario for Sasuke. Especially since that he'd be in immense pain when the Seal activates because he'd be critically low on chakra due to bugs.
Adrian Scott
Bugs turn to stone They don't have the CS to filter it like Sauce or training to manually filter it like Nardo.
Aaron Jenkins
Granted.
Although the alternative is the bugs simply drain his normal chakra until he either drops unconscious or draws on the Cursed Seal, which - since there no normal chakra to swap with - just causes immense pain to the point where Shino could safely fight defensively until Sasuke just drops.
Even in the battle at the Valley of the End when he goes Level 2 he wasn't drained of chakra, and so was able to sustain L2 without crazy pain.
Jaxon Mitchell

Sebastian Baker
Happy birthday, user.
If I had a picture of Naruto being told it was his birthday on my phone, I'd post it. But I don't.
Ian Allen
The entire time I was working I kept remembering Pain tripping and calling introducing himself as god. So I probably had a stupid grin on my face all night.
Nicholas White
With the way it was presented in the series I agree. However, I blame it on the author and editors who took the "Idiot Hero" aspect of the character up to eleven. He was smart, the first battle with Zabuza showed that he could come up with the plan on the fly. Or the scene where he came back to save Inari and his Mother because he saw a boar cut with the sword, and realized that something must be going on. Book smart he was not, but his instincts were top notch, but were criminally underused in favor of "naruto does something random lol, and gets hit by sakura, ha 10/10 comedy" .
Lucas Perez
I always wondered how Naruto could communicate to Sasuke the plan of 'Alright, so I'm gonna charge Zabuza with Shadow Clones, but we'll get knocked back, so I'll transform myself into a Demon Wind Shuriken. I'll have one of my Clones throw myself to you, at which point you'll spin around and draw a second one, obscuring me. You'll then throw the REAL shuriken, followed by me in the blind spot of the first. Zabuza will likely grab the first one and jump over the second, allowing me to attack him from behind, forcing him to free Kakashi!' without a single word.
Nicholas Lee
Some will say "Asspull". Some might say "Power of Friendship" (although I will be damned if Sasuke and Naruto were really friends. No indication of that whatsoever if you ask me). There might be voices mumbling something about homolust or somesuch. All we know, is that we will never know for sure.
Mason Brown
It's almost certainly 'asspull'. In the FIRST FUCKING ARC Kishimoto couldn't think of a coherent way to get his two main characters to work together apart from a convoluted plan they couldn't have POSSIBLY worked out together without talking.
Chase Martinez
That's what I said. For the whole manga run I could not get why we are forced to believe those too are best buddies. Every single character, that is not Sasuke (or Sakura to some extent), is a better friend to Naruto. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. It's not that I hate the SS duo, not really, but for them to make believeable team and friends with Nardo they should have been written differently
Gabriel Barnes
They didn't have to even be written differently, just have more canon missions of them working together and - for lack of a better term - bonding. Like when Sasuke helped Naruto stagger home from the tree-climbing exercise, and they stumbled in at like fucking midnight, Naruto's arm draped over Sasuke's shoulder, both exhausted as fuck, but both grinning because they both mastered the training together.
I actually like to think Sasuke mastered it first and still hung around to help Naruto, but let's face it, that probably wouldn't have happened because Kishimoto has trouble writing real friendships when it comes to his MCs
Matthew Hall
So I guess it comes full circle to the point - Kishi had some good ideas, but because he could not write them properly, or because some higher ups wanted him to take a different route, we ended up with a lot of asspulls and not believeable friendships. And than they wrote theselves into the corner with stupid powerlevels. Goddammit Japan!
Robert Green
That's pretty much the long and short of it, yeah. Imagine Kishimoto's art with a writer that actually knew what they were doing.
Well, imagine Kishimoto's art before Shounen Jump started rushing him, anyway.
Christopher Evans
This is from 2014-2015 tho.
Logan Campbell
Design and "what's under that mask" joke. Kinda like Edd from Ed, Edd & Eddy
Adam Jones
Actually I did not have a problem with artstyle shift. It still was great, with some weaker spots here and there, but nothing that would hurt the eyes.
Matthew Perez
I like the fanfic theory of the Hyuuga having latent skill in perception and reading body language - even without the Byakugan active - and so Kakashi, being paranoid - started wearing it so that no Hyuuga could tell what he was thinking from subtle visual cues.
I mostly meant at the end of the war arc, where the detail dropped RIGHT off because SJ wanted Naruto done and dusted by chapter 700.
Luis Wood
>dat pic sauce?
Ryan Adams

Gavin Sanders
He appears to be surprisingly well informed of Naruto's perception, and is actually aware of Naruto's popularity abroad.
>Kishimoto wanted to raise Sakura's popularity and decided that the primary barrier to this was that she needed to be drawn more beautifully
Although the conclusions Kishimoto comes to are truly misdirected. Kishimoto is sort of like that.
Joseph Sullivan
I think Kishi simply lacks any real understanding of humanity. If whatever conspiracy theorists learned of his existence, he'd rapidly become Exhibit A in their evidence of weird reptilians living among us.
