Naruto is the Twilight of the manga industry. It wouldn't be so bad if Sasuke didn't get so many asspulls and plot armor, Sakura isn't such a waste of manga pages and have a stupid obsession with Sasuke, and the plot didn't make you go "What the hell just happened"? My only drive left for that series is finishing it. Oh Pre-Shippuden Naruto, where did you go?
Before, it was a nice little series about aspiring ninjas. Now you have EMOSUKE butting heads with everyone he comes across and almost dies because his enemy is vastly superior only to suddenly have a victory handed to him at the last minute by some convoluted asspull that doesn't make sense even by Naruto's standards. Want a great example of this? EMOSUKE somehow summoning a giant snake, controlled it to let it enter it's mouth, and avoiding a POINT BLANK EXPLOSION JUST AS DEIDARA EXPLODES WITH ENOUGH POWER TO BE A NUCLEAR BOMB NO LESS THAN 2 FEET AWAY. NOT ONLY THAT, SASUKE WAS CLEARLY OUT OF CHAKRA. HOW DO YOU SUMMON A HUGE ASS SNAKE WITH INSUFFICIENT CHAKRA? HE'S NOT NARUTO HE DOESN'T HAVE A BACKUP RESERVE NOR INSANE STAMINA.
I really want him to just die because he's the plague of the series. Sakura is no better, but taking out Sasuke also takes out Sakura's stupid obsession. It's terrible when Sakura tries to tell Naruto that she loves him, when Naruto clearly saw through her lie and tears it apart. Honestly, Sasuke is why Naruto sucks.
One Piece, now there's good shyt.
