I identify as someone who is gender blind. Anyone who gets offended by any pronouns I use offends me deeply. How dare they point out my gender blindness. That’s not PC!

I am starting to not like this character. Willing to kill his own team. Instead of deciding to give up Persuit and go back and try to capture hidan himself, he is thinking of killing people who trust him…

I hope hiruzen puts him in charge of Hinata, ino and naruto…

Not really. I think kakashi’s raikiri uses the first 2 gates to increase his speeds .

i hope you try something to keep him alive... ask him to teach you swordsmanship... become close to him and keep hime alive. ia hate how few fics keep sakumo alive.

that means she DOES NOT have jounin level strength. at least not jounin level stamina. so the village was right in not letting her become a jounin.

probably a lot of chakra was used to make him move fast.

none of the ninja's were ninja's. only anbu were ninja's according to our standards. just because kishimoto called them ninja's does not mean that all of them were ninja's. that was just the term that world called chakra users.

edo tensei's were the perfect sages - 100% pure nature energy

i dont like itachi. kishimoto had an uchiha hard on - and most of that poured into itachi making into some genius savant. better than kakashi and minato , thinking like a hokage etc... thinking like the third hokage maybe. not any of the other 6 hokages. even tobirama would have tried to find a way to integrate the clan into the village instead of killing the clan.

i think hashi's wood was earth,water and yang. maybe e was using yang to get yin from nature

he was not that strong. the third raikage could have defeated him. maybe the only ones who stopped the third raikage were the hyuga's jyuken who injured his internal organs. could be why he never attacked konoha. and maybe even why kumo was after the hyuga. kishimoto had not fleshed out his story fully by the time he fought against the first 2 kages. by the time shippuden ends, we know that sarutobi was probably the weakest of the hokage. even weaker than tsunade. thoough he was probably stronger than all other kages of his time other than the 3rd raikage. my main crib is that due to danzo and sarutobi, konoha lost orochimaru and sakumo. and both the senju and uchiha were lost under their reign. i think konoha lost more s rank ninja's to their politicking than outside forces : sakumo, orochimaru, shishui, itachi , fugaku. maybe even minato(how did obito know where to find kuchina? and danzo was ready to send the uchiha elsewhere right away)

he could have stepped down much earlier. sakumo was older than the sannin. while they were teens, he was a very successful veteran of the second war. while his popularity was on the rise, suddenly he came back a failure, and was wither forced to kil himself or was killed by yamanaka root. either way was good for danzo(killing a future hokage candidate) and sarutobi - someone who was considered popular and powerfull was now dead. sakumo was the perfect counter to suna. and if he was alive and fighint, konoha would have lost a lot less in the third war. and it was in his tenure that both the senju and uchiha were reduced to 1 member each. danzo and sarutobi together did more to reduce konoha's power than their enemies. konoha lost 2 S rank shinobi because of them - S rank shinobi of konoha almost never died to outisde forces, but to in fighitng. sakumo , orochimaru( who left because danzo and sarutobi brought him into the research) etc.

thats actually wrong. medics were respected more than normal ninja's. in fact medics are far less likely to be killed too- you might be captured and made to heal the enemy till the end of the war when you will be sold back to your village though..

that is because danzo did not dare to usehis seal on kakashi. or put him through the complete root training which included killing your best friend.

he should atleast have taken the arm. or atleast shishui's eyes - which are very dangerous. maybe not to him, but he can use it against tsunade or his friends... killing him would also have massively changed the story...

and didnt the author say the chakra was equal to 4 tails? why did it suddenly become 9 tails?

... considering taht he gets points for changing the story... how about going to suna instead and killing deidara and sasori instead?

exactly. i have commented the same to different authors. smoke will help hide the fact taht you have substituted... used with bunshin, and you can leave 3 bunshins in your plae, with one overlayed over the log.

the number of times i have left this comment... jiraiya follows the way of bruce lee. dont fear the man who has learnt a thousand punches but the man who has trained one punch a thousand times. naruto's whole power system was based on 3 things - taijutsu and chakra control and control over massive amounts of chakra. learning to use kurama helped him control his own chakra better(as kurama kept leaking his chakra into naruto's chakra-without control over kurama's chakra, he could not control his own properly) learning the different rasengan's helped him gain better and better control over both chakra and control over larger and larger amounts of chakra. without the foundation that jiraiya gave naruto, he could not have learnt wind control or sage mode as fast as he did. without all the training to control over kurama's chakra, he could not have perfected kcm as fast as he did.
