/nsunsg/ - Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm General

More like Neji was too right for us. Also That picture makes me feel things.

fucking Nips man...

>"Naruto, you have no idea what secrets the Village has been keeping from you," Mizuki said.

>"N-No! Don't!" Iruka shouted.

>Not like this. Naruto can't find out this way.

>"12 years ago . . . you know about the Nine-Tails being killed by the Fourth Hokage?"

>Iruka couldn't move. Shurikenjutsu had always been Mizuki's specialty, and although he had missed Iruka's vitals, he pinned several chakra points and restricted Iruka's movements.

>Run, Naruto. Get away.

>The boy stood there, frozen, staring at the white haired Chunin, perhaps too shocked to properly understand everything he was hearing.

>But even as Iruka hoped Naruto would escape, a small part of him was feeling . . . what was it? A small sense of relief. A burden that had been weighing on him ever since the day he took the Academy Teacher position and Naruto became his student lifting.

>It wasn't right for Naruto to learn this way, but it wasn't right--

>--"Iruka sensei, can I have another bowl of ramen?"

>"What's that?" he said.

>"Hey, you promised me another round of ramen. As a graduation gift," Naruto said.

>They were sitting at Ichiraku Ramen. His treat. Two empty bowls were in front of Naruto and the smell of fresh pork filled the air as other civilians and Shinobi walked by into the night.

>That's right. It's over. Naruto is safe.

>They were no longer in the forest. Iruka's wound had been treated, Mizuki was in custody, and Naruto, amazing Naruto had defeated him with a forbidden Jutsu and a power Iruka had never seen before.

>He took a deep breath and considered his options. More importantly, he considered what he owed Naruto.

>"Naruto," Iruka said, turning to face his student.

Continued

>Naruto's eyes were bright and jubilant, nothing like the hardened determination Iruka had witnessed when the young boy faced down a Shinobi on his level. If anything, they were almost messy. Naruto's round face was covered with Ramen broth, even his whispers were dripping.

>Iruka sighed.

>"Huh? You okay, Iruka sensei?" Naruto said.

>"Eat up, Naruto. You'll need your strength as a fully active Genin, so the next three rounds are on me."

>Naruto laughed. "You can count on me, Sensei."

>He couldn't tell him. No matter how badly Iruka wished to tell Naruto the whole truth, he knew he couldn't. It was too dangerous for Naruto.

>It's just too dangerous for the Fire Country.

Alright. I guess this is the first taste of autism I mentioned last thread. Did this spark anyone's curiosity?

are you the user who's planning on doing an entire rewrite of Naruto with something altered? Was it that Naruto doesn't find out about his demon fox? Can't remember. Anyway it looks really interesting. Just two things:

>and Naruto, amazing Naruto had defeated him with a forbidden Jutsu and a power Iruka had never seen before
not sure what's going on there, obviously you're saying Naruto became genin and Iruka was amazed but some words were dropped

>even his whispers were dripping
Obviously meant to be whiskers

But those are just minor details, overall it's well written and it's nice to get a fresh new look on the series

bump

...

Yeah, I'm that user. I didn't give away the "plot" yet. What I'm working with from this part is:

>Cover story: The Nine-Tails was killed by the Fourth Hokage.

General public outside of Konoha more or less accepts it, though there are suspicions. The Nine-Tails appears like a disaster in its territory and disappears for years or decades at a time without a trace.

Where Tailed Beasts and Jinchuuriki are concerned, Naruto is the fourth Jinchuuriki and the first Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.

>Classified #1: Everyone in Konoha Chunin+ or 18+ was told that Naruto is the Nine-Tails without his memories or power.

>Classified #2: Only the Heads of The Land of Fire and Shinobi personally involved with Naruto (teachers) are aware of his true (canon) identity.

^I wonder if I should separate the civilians from Shinobi or keep it as is. I'm still bouncing that around.

>Top Secret: This was decided by the Governing Body of the Land of Fire, The Fire Daimyo, The Third Hokage, Danzo, Homura, and Kohura in a 3 to 2 vote, within days after the Kyuubi attack.

Also,

MD1: Yeah, I was saying Naruto, that coolest guy Naruto, pushed Tony the Tiger's shit in with a new Jutsu and strength.

MD2: Yeah, I feel stupid.

Sounds genuinely interesting user, it'll be fun seeing what you come up with for how these changes impact on the story. As for the things I pointed out I wouldn't worry about shit like whispers instead of whiskers, people don't really care, but yeah that other sentence was pretty confusing. Just decided to point it out if you're planning on putting it up somewhere else or needed a hand proof-reading.

I'm getting a PSP soon, and I figured I'd get one of these as a lighter alternative to the plotty games I'm getting. Are there many naruto games for PSP? What's the best one? Why?

I''ve heard of Dragon Ball and even Bleach games on PSP but never Naruto so idk. Will you be getting a PSP that you can install custom firmware on? If s it's a great platform for playing PS1 games. I've got over a thousand hours out of my PSP through PS1 JRPGs alone.

Did you find any good Neji doujins?

Can confirm that cracking the PSP is great. I had FFIX on it as well as like half a dozen pirated PSP games.

According to Wikipedia, there are 6 or 7 naruto games on psp

Guess who's birthday is today?

A M E R I C A

he was too good for this world
;_;7

happy 4th of July Americans, happy birthday Neji ;-;

>he never got to see NaruHina happen

youtube.com/watch?v=bIX5VQukWP4

Neji is like the one dude that I would be ok with Edo Tensei being asspulled for in the Boruto manga. Even if he doesn't stick around, just so he can meet his niece and nephew and see that his sacrifice wasn't for nothing.

would you be ok if Neji look like in the pic related?

I don't really have a choice with the art style, do I?

nope
unless Kishi says fuck it and takes charge of the things again
btw he was supposed to be releasing a new sci-fi manga
what happened to it?

Dunno. I haven't kept up with Kishimoto at all. I remember him saying he was looking at releasing a new one, but I didn't hear any more about it than that.

Will he have time if he's still supervising Boruto?

Also, why do you think Boruto was made monthly? To give Assistant-kun time to practice, or just because people might not be as into Boruto as they were into Naruto?

>To give Assistant-kun time to practice
probably because of this, but i can see they will make it bimonthly in future if its still milkable

I'd prefer bi-monthly if I'm honest. More to talk about. When's this month's chapter coming out, do we know? We need more poorly arted memes.

either this month's 6th or 7th

uhhh g-guys?
is this might be official concept art of Neji for Boruto

Got any source other than a picture with a tumblr filename?

sadly no

Devo. The picture doesn't look bad enough to be done by Assistant-kun. Lines are too confident and thin.

what i meant is looks like this concept art is done by SP's movie team
i mean just look at the similarity of the artwork

This looks good, but would neji even be in the Boruto manga?

>if its still milkable
The Naruto franchise is huge. They'll make cash no matter how poorly it's done

>shangai exhibition

You know, just watched Zootopia last night. Actually hell decent, for a generic bright and happy Disney movie.

You mean Nephew.

It was only ok really. I'm a big Disney guy though, so maybe I was just disappointed. Still better than Pixar shit.

Frozen was better

>this looked way cooler in the anime
I think they also dropped the silly ones like this for the anime

You know it

Man, these pages do not have good setups for comedy at the moment.

As well as the one in the very centre, and his hand up at the top left as well. The only actual one is the centre bottom, which is I, or boar.

>Chakra and the history of ninjutsu is fully explored
Thrown in explanations/excuses at the very end to allow Kishi to do whatever pottery he was wanting to do is not an exploration of a concept.
Earlier ideas regarding it are thrown right out (spiritual+mental enery, rotation type as told by your hair's 'rotation', enough chara being used for it to be visible being a big enough deal that the veteran Zabuza lost his shit over it, hell, even the elemental shit loses relevance pretty damn quicly). If the Sage, Kaguya etc were ideas he'd have had earlier, then he was again showing how poor his world building skills are by not subtly hinting at it (i.e. word usage, paintings, statues of the great figures of legend, thoughts of how their actions would impact the world even generations later).

>the history of villages, much of how villages interact
We've seen two Gokage meetings, one in a flashback. Tsunade once called in for reinforcements from the Sand and sent Nardo et al to their rescue one other time. Hardly the deepest look into their interactions.

>we should discover this information naturally
There's nothing depicting how the villages interact with their respective Nations beyond the Land of Wind fucking Suna over, how missions and contracts are handled. Because there are barely any real, proper mercenary type missions, we never get to see the world and the mechanics that make the wheels turn. We get an incredibly basic idea from the beginning of the Wave mission sure, but not much beyond that. The result is a world where missions might as well grow from trees, where we barely know anything of the Land of Fire, or even the more intricate details of how the clans within Konoha work.

I went to otome road earlier but yaoi's not really my thing so I didn't look for it. I will next time, though.

...

>Kishimoto
>creative
'Creative' is a funny concept. A lot of creativity is about twisting existing cultural shit or the wors of others and presenting it in a new way, and sure, Kishi does plenty of that. But like I said, that is surface level. I'm not asking that the man go full on Tolkien here, but at the very least spare a thought before spouting ridiculous things like SIX HUNDRED BILLION EXPLOSIVE TAGS or indeed the Kote, to think through what preparations would be needed, how the world would react to it.

If Kishi was the kind of genius you seem to regard him as, with the kind of clarity of vision needed of an auteur, he'd know immediately what is where it is and why, how it interacts with everything else.

As is, like I said, Kishi just thinks of shit he thinks would be cool and contrives things so that they can happen. Then when inevitably he writes himself into a corner, he retcons, blatantly ignores parts of lore, invents new powers for the Sharingan at a dime.

>A story is driven by the overall plot and the characters are just there to service the plot.
Well, I could not disagree with you any more either. A plot without characters is a meaningless chain of events that might as well happen to unidentifiable gray blobs.

Characters, individuals are the key in any story, otherwise that story will inevitably just devolve into a mess of contrived events with no weight, driven by pure, unadulterated "It Just Happens, Okay?".

kek

Any good writer will have no trouble combining the plot and story they want to tell with characters whose motivations are grounded in the world and fit where the story wants to go, and if you are claiming Kishi is somehow some big genius, he too should be capable of living up to this standard of bare-bone competence.
But he is not only not a genius and an auteur, but a talentless fucking hack, so of course he can't.

>I see no obligation to explore characters thoroughly that don't service the plot.
Again you have it backwards. Characters are what make a plot happen and give substance to any story, so the introduction and handling of both main and secondary cast is extremely important. If you are introducing someone, their appearance should make the appropriate impact on the plot, otherwise you are wasting people's time. It does not have to be big by all means, I've no problems with the introduction of, say, Kiba, but if you decide to have as much focus away from the protagonist(s) as Nardo did, at the very least you should center that time on the established secondary cast, instead of coing up yet more throwaway characters.

Chouji's Chocolate Waifu and her team are completely pointless, for instance, and any creative writer would have found a way to tie in the existing cast to the minor conflict they brought, making the story a bit tighter.
Alternatively bring in the new team, but make the tensions they brought more significant, involve them later on, fucking make something of them if you've bothered to create them in the first place. At the very least killing them off could have had an impact and made the war feel more real, as semi-known characters.

Why should that matter?

This series is aimed at shonen, and they don't even care for explanation that go beyond seeing flashy shit happen.

So in closing I must completely disagree with the idea that plot is above all.

But even if that were the case, Kishi's plot is nowhere near solid or coherent enough for it to make sense that it somehow subugates everything else, when characterisation of ey players like Itachi is clearly all over the place, going right against what should have happened if all was in service of some grand, pre-conceived plan of the story.

>go away
>don't hug me
Is that unedited? I forgot how hilarious some of these lines were on their own. Could it be time for me to reread?

Also I really want to buy these erasers for my little 14 year old cousins because I'm sure their burgerland public schools would find gun shaped erasers hilarious. But I also don't want them getting expelled.

...

Because that user was claiming that Kishi was an auteur and a genius storyteller.
If that is the case, there are standards on that level to live up to, which is obviously not something he manages to do.
He's a hack, one whose garbage I happen to enjoy, but let's not go overboard with praising it.

Damn son.

>more shy ino

Imagine all the shenanigans there could be with someone like that in possession of the telepathy/Psychonaut powers of a Yamanaka.
I really wish Shy Ino was a thing in the real universe of the series.

Yeah, that one is unedited.

Yeah I'm a hinatafag all the way but damn son if shy ino were canon or if we saw more of her I think I'd have to reevaluate my life.

Man, I barely needed to touch this one.

...

>I thought that stone was a generator when I read this chapter for the first time ages ago.

It's something that should've been in the actual series, since multi-person three-handed seals for crazy-strong jutsu would've been cool as fucking shit, especially for established teams like Ino-Shika-Chou
