The manga didnt care because they werent as important or as strong. If they were then stories would be told of their predecessors causing damage the way they did and Hashirama/Madara wouldnt have been considered the people who rival one another No, the manga didn't care cause they were useless to the story, we have people like Onoki and Mu who could create the same valley with a shot of their jutsu, power is relative

Their strength wasnt predetermined, their beliefs and a few personality traits were. There were so many factors and outside influences that it is impossible to say that being reincarnates made them as steong as they were. And their belief and personality traits guided them into the power they got, along with the capability of their body to adapt to that power, cause you know, they were reincarnates

The prophesy actually had nothing to do with the reincarnation Yeah, but had something to do in being the chosen one, as I said

So now you are using double standards in the opposite direction? I'm just saying what I disliked, surely I'd have preferences, or were you expecting that a thread on "did you like/dislike this concept of Naruto" would be objective?

Actually no. In the chapter Orochimaru summoned them characters were talking about how tgey were toted as the best shinobi ever. Wood release was also called legendary and used to stop anarchy. Orochimaru was also toying with Hiruzen Yeah and the ones toted as the best shinobi were the ones who can summon water without water, I don't see the problem, the anbu were even like: "so that's how a kage level figth is!"

Kishimoto would have had to had a plan long before that. Authors dont go wing the story week to week. He at tge very least had an outline for the story. Sasuke was present in the first chapters so his inclusion and general story direction as well as Sakura's were planned long before the end of part 1. Surely he created the outline at some point, but we don't know when (tho for sure before the VotE fight)

Thats not actually true. The series was going for a mix of ninja fights and kaiju fights

The series' inciditing incident was a giant monster fight with Kurama and the Shukkaku vs Gamabunta fight happened less then a 3rd of they way into the series Was the preference I expressed not true? Am I insecure of myself? I just said I would've preferred if the series didn't go for kaiju fights, not that the seires wasn't going for them

Yeah, already stated in my preferences that I would have said no to big bijuu
