Naruto

They didn't. Haku and Zabuza have been sealed, then Kakashi is saying he's gonna go on a rampage, then nothing. Cocktease manga.

There should still be 6 swordsman, and those two ninja with bloodline limits, around Kakashi and his group.

I don't even remember Zabuza getting sealed, but I'm sure he was since Kakashi had his sword at the end. I'm sure that fight must be over at this point though since they showed kakashi during the night. I don't see why the swordsmen would stop fighting them at night since they dont need to rest or anything, so they must've been sealed off screen.

[Salodin]

They better have not been...those swordsmen held more potential for epic fights then the jinchuruki -_-.

[Uzor]

My guess is that he will save them for Sasuke's shark boy, since his brother is among them.

I don't see why the swordsmen would stop fighting them at night since they dont need to rest or anything, so they must've been sealed off screen.

Fixed the quote to add a more plausible elaboration.

I'm hoping that Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo allows him to change Susano'o into a tank.

Seriously, we saw some good shit from Gaara, Shikamaru, Chouji and pretty much no one else. The only two random ninja that I really liked were the ones from the cloud whose names I can't remember off the top of my head. One was in the ambush group with Sai and another was leading a division and fought off those two brothers who had 9 tails chakra. The samurai versus Danzo was pretty cool as well. But really, why haven't we seen anything cool from Neji, Lee or any of the seemingly forgotten ninja from the leaf? Oh cool, they fought some Zetsus, now lets watch Naruto buttfuck everything that moves!

Well, on some level I agree with how things have progressed a fair bit on the basis that it makes more sense. It doesn't make sense for that one class of ninja to be the key to winning every fight in the war. Though some of the characters should have more to what they have been shown doing. It also can be seen as bringing a sense of strength to other characters if some of the Konoha 11 are still just another number compared to other ones. It's logical even if it's not generally best for storytelling.

Oh, I definitely agree since this is a group war effort with all five countries coming together. I just find it odd that, post-timeskip, we've seen less stuff from Lee, Neji, Kiba and Shino than we've seen from random ninja from other countries. Though I have to reiterate my point that the Cloud ninja have been pretty fucking cool so far. I just wish we could see some solid stuff from the Leaf, since I don't know where this manga is going after this arc or how much longer it would even go for.

[Odin'sLaw]

Kishi said he's working towards the end of Naruto now so i'd say from a guess this is the last arc

[The_OG_Nelta]

haha, after beating Madara, naruto loses his powers and tries to gain them back to protect konoha and friends.

[Vandole]

naruto then meets a stranger that wants to get his powers pack for him. suddenly his friends start becoming target of attacks

[arus2001]

S'all good, Naruto loves ramen!

[Eurell]

Eventually, all Naruto's friends start to help his enemy. Hinata thinks back to the time she told this new enemy that she loved him, right before he saved Konoha from Pain.

Chapter 555

Spoiler: show

Sage mode go

[vadre]

Meh chapter imo, the pace seems to be slowing down a bit.

I wish they'd bring it back to some of the better fights like Kakashi + the swordsmen, and Sai's team vs. Chiyo etc (did that ever happen or did they run away?). Kabuto seems pretty keen to mess Naruto up and bring him back in a body bag as long as he's alive.

[The_OG_Nelta]

Stupid chapter.

[Eurell]

Idk, Im a fan of any fights that show how smart Naruto can be, so I really enjoyed the chapter.

[vadre]

Whilst I'm a fan of showing progression in him, you know he'll go back to being totally retarded next chapter.

[Eurell]

Idk, he seems to be getting smarted and smarter in every fight aside from him/bee/itachi vs. Nagato. Thats the only real fight he was in recently where he acted like a moron that I can remember.

[Lucavi]

I liked it because it showed a little intuition, plus it showed that he can still switch between both modes, and that both modes have pros and cons. While K9 mode is far stronger, Sage mode still has uses thanks to its increased senses. Its one hell of a spare battery when the first one runs dry.

[vadre]

I thought Sage mode was impractical because he had to stand still and store energy? I guess that got thrown out the window in the end.

[Cleverness]

Yea showing Sage Mode is still relevant in certain situations is nice, plus it's nice to see a ninja fight with Naruto that involves tactics(like his fight against the Pains).
