He only taught lee. He didn't do anything about tenten. Kurenai apparently didn't even teach genjutsu, her specialty. Kakashi taught Sakura nothing. Asuma taught his team nothing. etc.

Tsubagakure wrote: Another thing I don't like is how the Uzumaki Clan exists just so Naruto can be related to Hashirama. Nah that part is fine. What bothers me to no end is that Naruto was made part of apparently a legendary clan, but then it didn't do anything. Naruto didn't go on a quest for relatives, didn't learn any clan jutsu (despite the Adamantine Sealing Chains being a very appropriate jutsu for him to learn), it didn't add anything. I really wish this part would've been fleshed out more.

He's kinda a shitty person. Sasuke's story is mostly a case of values dissonance. The whole family and honor thing is much much more important in Japanese culture than in the western world.

Kishimoto knew he sucked at romance, which is why he did so little with it. It's also probably why Hinata as a love interest wasn't explored further, since Kishimoto probably thought he'd screw it up.

Gaara is the first to be captured, and so there's drama. Hidan and Kakuzu capture the 2-tails offscreen to set up their next move as in the Manga.The Three tails is IMHO where the last straw should have been, with the villages on alert and the other 6 jinchuriki being aware of the threat.

I would've given all biju a kekkei genkai. Kurama is by far the most boring Biju. He has more power than the rest (yay, more dakka) and can sense negative emotions (which, by the way, is the lamest power in the Naruto series.) IMHO Post-pain should've been about Naruto learning to control the red chakra (The whole 'giving in to kurama' thing should've been a huge deal with long-lasting repercussions, not something to be ignored).

Also, Naruto's 4th war version is so boring mostly because Kurama is boring. Controlling Kurama doesn't give Naruto anything new really, other than "everything i did before but with more firepower". A new element, a new technique would've been great. I feel like the Rasenshuriken set up other elemental forms of the Rasengan and i still feel cheated by never seeing them. Naruto learning to control Kurama's abilities would've been great. Learning the Uzumaki clan jutsu would've been great. He already got his abilities gifted by others, why half-ass that theme when it's already a running theme?
