Before he had killed 10 genin, now with all that training he went through and all those strength increases he had that was much greater than before, he says that before 20 genin he will retire? His strength seems to regress with training or the author does not know how to reflect the increases in power...

I don't understand, you gave him high statistics but it has the same uselessness as if he didn't have them... I also don't understand how it is difficult for him to keep up with his statistics as much as if he didn't. In other words, to recover, you need to go through that process as if you had never learned anything, as if what you learned resided solely in your memory. It should be much easier and faster to recover, because your body already contains it. That's why I find it too incongruous that Yamato is progressing faster. I don't understand your reason for making such a useless MC but putting him in the guise of one who isn't. Furthermore, Yamato does not have that talent that you say, Hiruzen is more talented and not to mention that he should progress much faster because he already has the statistics in his body.

An average mc like this is the same thing you suggested about a weak mc fighting for every fragment of power...

Oh a useless and weak mc, step...

Updates??

Good chapter and translaction, thanks...

Why does he have to teach his successor? The beauty of the fic and the premise is the uniqueness of the character, not even his successor should have any of that. Also, everything that involves Qi is its unique factor, not just harmony as you say, so since he started teaching Tsunade about it he already bored me. That type of mouthy character with hero complexes is very stressful.

It sucks when the character loses the unique factor they have... The funny thing was him using something different from the others, I don't understand why authors use that cliche of extending what the character has, if that makes it lose originality. One of the worst clichés there is....

What needs to be answered here to finish the matter is what the author offers and not the consumer's preferences, because then when talking about it one could say what is discordant here, if it is someone who is asking for an OP MC in a fic where the author established a premise of a weak MC with only hard work ahead of him or if instead someone asks for a weak MC in a fic where the premise is a character with great potential, a genius who started with a high bar. In Naruto, we were established with the premise of an MC with a weak beginning as you say and who actually had great hidden power but is nevertheless very different from a character like Itachi who was established as a genius from the beginning, someone with great potential which is not hidden to the point of making him a weak or very powerless character. In this case, the author of the fic made these points more from the beginning, Itachi has been represented as an MC with great potential, that is why this image must be realized with results, a kenpachi using only a small part of his power is something which should be yes or yes among Itachi's possibilities at this point. And as I said, I'm not saying that he has to beat everyone now, but he does have to overcome these obstacles, which in the long run are nothing compared to the future levels, including Kenpachi himself. All this in order for power to be consistent with his image of great talent and with what is expected of him in the future. What I don't understand is why the idea is not captured that it was only a small part of this kenpachi's power without the name of his zampakuto, it is really very infuriating and disappointing. In any case, no story is perfect, there are many things that can disappoint you, the author can make mistakes or the viewer can perceive something in a bad way. Even so, I already planned to continue with the story even if that part dissapoints me, I will only leavit when it becomes a repetitive patterns. Also thanks for the debate, it was valuable for me.

The answer in which you talk about preferences and needs does not really say much, just like when you answered me that an MC does not always equal a good story, in this case the variation is greater because there are many types of preferences and needs to cover and it's impossible to follow a story with many varied tastes intermingled because one group or another will dislike it. Although I can understand the reason and what you were aiming for. In reality, I don't see why it is a necessity to cover needs or for the sake of the diversity of preferences, that is, if the author writes about weak MC it is simply because he wants to, not because of any need or because he should write about it since he can do it any way. In another way, this to satisfy what he does it for, for that reason he does not have the need. Futhermore, if there were a need it would not have to be reasonable, preferences sometimes dont make sence.

That's why I say giving as a reason that an OP MC doesn't always equal a good story, was not really saying anything to justify a weak MC story. Now say say that a weak MC can equal a good story if it's a good reason. It's just that as I said I don't understand the need, you already gave me the reasons but any of the reasons you gave can be achieved with an OP MC, another thing is an invincible MC, but an OP MC can improve, prosper and we can see his level compared to how he started. I'm not saying that As soon as Itachi starts he beats everyone, I rather think that he can't beat a character with very reduced power compared to his peak, he is a very weak and hopeless character, the MC has to offer something, the story when presenting the increase in power well has to give a result like that. Especially because Itachi was portrayed with great potential, so making him unable to achieve such a feat feels contradictory. For example, in Naruto, to give conviction to the representation of a character with great potential, an MC is made doing very surprising feats, the same. with any other fiction that features these characters. So now imagine a shounen fic where we already know the power peaks there will be, seeing an Itachi unable to achieve that becomes disappointing.

Bro give rae name please

Then, saying that an OP MC does not always equate to being a good story, is the same as saying nothing because one could also say that an OP MC does not always equate to being a bad story, so it is a redundant sophistry that does not reach nothing. Anyway, you could make a good story out of an OP MC so what would be the need to make one with a weak MC, especially when it's a shonen fic about battles and power struggles.

At no point am I underestimating Kenpachi, I'm complaining about how weak the MC is rather, they are very different things. That Itachi had defeated or surpassed him would not have to mean that Kenpachi is weak or underestimated, rather I said that Kenpachi is only using a small part of his power and without being his version of shikai, so how does that mean that I am underestimating him? ? The MC is very weak, that is the problem here.

The same author said that not everything about power is about the amount of reiatsu. Your analogy is not right either, they are very different opponents, Kenpachi and the new tails, it is not equivalent to defeating the nine tails. Also, this Itachi is supposed to have reiatsu and was a reincarnated soul with abilities, he should have large amounts of it. But it doesn't matter because this Itachi is not the same.

He did not beat Kenpachi who was only using a small portion of his power as the author says, not even when it is this version of Kenpachi that does not use shikai and bankai. It's quite disappointing, as tired as he is that he can't beat a very limited kenpachi, it's quite pathetic and weak. What hope does Itachi have for the future no matter how hard he trains? I don't understand why they make such weak MCs.

Why can't he control flames and launch concentrated flame attacks like he did with his Sharinghan? That way the ways that others have to stop them would be almost null, or are you deliberately nerfing it? I don't understand why the authors give powers that sound magnificent but they immediately put buts everywhere. At least we should be told what will be the way to eliminate its disadvantages in order to take it into account and not be left blind and deflated after the dramatic presentation of a power. That way the author doesn't conveniently change the impact of a character's power in a fight.

I hope you are aware of the construction of Itachi's power level. Long ago it was said that he had the level of the lieutenants and that he could even defeat most of them, now that his power has increased so much it would be very foolish to continue saying that he only has the level of a lieutenant...

Although I would like it to be Rangiku because of the difference in personality, one stoic and the other very jovial fit quite well. Also, I'd like to see Gin wanting to kill Itachi for that haha
