Just have to say naruhina is the single worst pairing in existence.

Wow I think that's the FIRST fight naruto didn't get his ass kicked on!

Um kumo already knows what happened to kyuubi right? So is it particularly SANE or even all that BRIGHT to let hatchibi out? Wouldn't it just be inviting it to be EATEN TOO? KINDA DUMB.. (considering it's CONSIDERABLY weaker then the one ALREADY EATEN)

"who would have thought he'd breach the Chunin Exams".. How about ANYBODY that's supposed to be omnipresent, anyone that's able to predict the future, ANYBODY that has ever known him AT ALL in their entire lives? It's the ONE time the village is at it's WEAKEST and ALLOWS ALL KINDS OF UNKNOWN NINS IN, when else exactly would he ever do it?

Also think of this, orochimaru is TERRIFIED of death, absolutely, positively, BEYOND in HORROR of it, beyond RATIONALLY afraid of it. Naruto and the other girls ALL are getting patronage from BEINGS beyond death, they are ABOVE IT, PAST IT, he would want NO PART OF ANY OF THEM, he's scared of the akutski for heaven's sake, and their patrons make the akutski look like SPEED BUMPS! Orochi should want to avoid ALL of them like the BLACK PLAGUE! He has essentially become UTTERLY IRRELEVANT, all he SHOULD be doing is trying everything he can to KEEP ANY OF THEM from even noticing his existence!

The one problem with making naruto weaker then everyone in the earlier stages of the story, is NO author (that I've ever seen on here) ever has the patience to stay around and WRITE to when he's the B.A. It makes no sense to write a story that you want the hero to be powerful but IT TAKES TOO LONG to get there! You might as well START him off stomping kages and only write a few chapters, then peter out while trying to keep him toned down for later.

Again with the screwy ranking system? He beat kushina right? Well she's s-rank and that MEANS kage level! SOOOOO... And again with the "naruto getting his head handed to him"... First kakashi, then zabu, now orochi.. This power level thing of your seems to KINDA BE ALL OVER THE PLACE. As was stated previously, naruto seems to be the WEAKEST ONE out of his group which as an "avatar" makes very little sense. And orochi has NEVER extended his ARM, only his neck and tongue seem to be able to do that. (think about it, if he extended his arm, why wouldn't people just CUT IT OFF? Although in that same vein I never understood why nobody just BEHEADED him).

Is negji suicidal or something? He's gotta know with the elders terrified, that he has NO prayer of beating hinata, so is he in a hurry to die or what? I got no idea what's going on with most of these people, I mean I get "pride" but there is no sense in COMPLETELY ignoring REALITY (considering none of these people even REMOTELY look like someone that ANYONE in the village can take on).

And seriously, with the LACK of thought on, well... EVERYBODY'S part in the leaf, along with the in general lack of strength and CREATING their own worst enemies, I'm not really sure how it got to be known as the strongest village. It seems ALL these things would have brought it down LONG AGO. I mean saruboti is an IDIOT, but also Kushina? AND kakashi? PLUS Gai? How did they SURVIVE their generation? Weren't they supposedly IN A WAR or two while those people were growing up? So... How did they LIVE THROUGH IT? When they can't even seem to move fast enough to stop their own gennin from shooting off at the mouth, (and regular civilians are more then they can handle) I mean luck and even minato can ONLY ACCOUNT for so much. Did EVERYONE'S BRAINS ooze out of their ears when he died? If so, maybe he just should have let the kyuubi burn down the village, since it seems already kinda gone!

Three teams? nine GENIN.. This is your idea of a "slaughter" huh?... Hmmm Also BASICALLY nobody that mattered in canon either. Yeah, not really gonna call that a "slaughter"

"maybe he should have thought this through"... You know I'd think the hokage would be getting tired of saying that to himself, he really doesn't THINK at all, when it comes to naruto, I'm not sure if he's TRYING to get the village obliterated or what... But it seems rather dumb.

"the slaughter will begin"? And yet they don't really kill very many people... Not really a "slaughter" at all actually.

I'd THINK it would be get RID of: the council (as in the elders, the civilians, maybe even the clan heads), the hokage, the uchiha, the namikazes, ROOT, sakura, kakashi, Maybe even the diyamo. You know AN ACTUAL slaughter. Something that brings all of the land of fire to it's knees (if not permanently CRIPPLE it).

So the angel girl takes out an entire BATTALION of angels alone and she should only be considered "low jounin", yet five measly, worthless, weak thugs beat kakashi and he's considered "high jounin"? I think your ranking system is a little screwed up!

See? Just dropped him and threatened him again, also that whole "I will do to you what I did to kushina".. You know he ALREADY USED that threat! He didn't DO anything of course, just like I doubt he will now, but he ALREADY USED IT! It's no good now, loses a LOT of the intimidation power to keep playing the same record over and over. Unless you break his mind OVER AND OVER again, until he's little more then a drooling item in the "produce isle" at the grocery store!

Also how did five NORMAL thugs beat a JOUNIN and shino? That's really PATHETIC! a CLANLESS GENNIN (sakura) is more then a match for 10-20, if you hadn't noticed human life, is PRETTY CHEAP in the naru-verse. Lets put it this way.. In canon, zabu (the weakest of all the swordsman), WITHOUT his butter-knife killed almost the ENTIRE group of gato's people ALONE and injured, without his arms. That SHOULD demonstrate exactly what kind of THREAT normal civilians pose even EN MASS to ANY NINJA!

I'm not really sure why naruto and crew always get so mad over sakura's mouth and inari (a little child who's never even BEEN to a ninja village)'s comments and yet that TWIT of an uchiha never gets REALLY punished... It makes NO SENSE. I'd think the first two idiots would be a LOT easier to just IGNORE... After all They are are just CHILDISH MORONS (sakura) and childishly NAIVE (inari)They both can GROW out of their problems (if they are permitted to grow older), sasuke is NEVER gonna grow out of his, the brain damage is too severe. In HIS case, you can't "fix" stupid! Other then just END IT. (of course, this might have the secondary effect of snapping sakura out of her idiocy).

So HINATA can fly, the other oc can fly... BOTH girls seem to have absolutely NO problem in dispatching their enemies, yet every fight naruto STRUGGLES like mad, and also CANNOT fly... Um naruto is SUPPOSED to be the title character, so why does he seem the weakest? Especially with all the upgrades.

How did zabu draw blood just by slicing across naruto's chest? I thought Naruto's armor was made of the kyuubi's bones... There is no WAY that overgrown butter-knife cut through those! Even Orochi's sword can't cut those!(that's CANON, orochi's sword can't even pierce naruto's SKIN in three-tailed state) In fact I don't think ANYTHING in the naru-verse can! And AGAIN how did regular senbons get through that armor (that makes even LESS sense)

Also not much of a weapon for the "champion" if number one it can be stolen and number 2 can be used by someone so WEAK as zabu! Pretty PATHETIC sword all in all! (considering he loses it on his FIRST ATTEMPT at using it).. Talk about letting "children run with scissors". Just NOT impressed with this naruto AT ALL.

There IS such a thing for all theses idiots as "too little, too late". They kinda should've figured that out!

I love the halo wars arbiter line when Naruto is fighting zaku
