Seems kind of like a downer, but I think it's fun to talk about.

What were the points in Naruto that you just found really disappointing? Also let's actually discuss these and not just say "all of it." >_>

For me, they include:

-Lack of Kakashi's rampage in both manga and anime

-Neji becoming such a minor character in part 2. I reread some of part 1 and he was pretty great after his fight with Naruto.

-Naruto The Last. It did not make me believe that Naruto really fell for Hinata. I feel like it was poorly written.

-Minato's battle prowess during the 4th Shinobi World War, especially since he had Kurama too.

-Minato somehow is immediately friends with Kurama upon exiting the the Shinigami's stomach. After all, according to the technique, they were fighting the entire time they were in there.

-Lack of any real female hero powerhouse.

-Sakura basically forgiving Sasuke after one "I'm sorry."

-Kakashi losing the Sharingan. Twice.

-Kakashi getting nerfed during fights just to show Naruto's growth.

-No Part 1 Kabuto vs Part 1 Kakashi! They hinted that they were about equal strength, but I honestly wanted to see Kakashi really dominate against a high-level opponent in general.

-Naruto's and Sasuke's Amaterasu Rasenshuriken. All it really did was make the flames hit more area. It completely ignored Naruto's jutsu, where the microscopic blades destroy people on a cellular level. Should have burned people on a cellular level too lol.

-Naruto's Rasenshuriken doing nothing against Third Raikage's armour. Highest level of shape transformation? Check. Highest level of nature transformation? Check. Elemental advantage? Check. Does it do anything? Nope.

-Guy not dying when he used the 8th Gate. This probably sounds really bad, but Guy should have been able to have his moment, then burn out. It would have been an epic end that he deserved.

-Generally the direction of Part 2. Fights became less about strategy and more about who had the bigger nuke.
