<p>Yes a very few out of 1000. And to be honest most of Kakashi's moves aren't even that good discounting Kekkei Genkai moves. He has Lightning Cutter (albeit needs Sharingan), Lightning Beast Running Technique, Lightning Clone, and that's about it. The reason Kakashi has come so far is because he relied on the Uchiha's power. As for the Senju clan, it could just mean in general that together they have 1000 jutsu, not each. </p><p>Also @Kill, please do not pyramid quote.

<p>Ten Tails - He was supposed to wreck everything. What we essentially got was some decent action but nothing to show why he was so feared in the first place. When he came on board I expected a couple of major characters to get the death nail(Tsunade, Kakashi) but we got a couple of deaths from semi-important characters and Ten tails was treated like another monster of the week. </p><p>Hinata - In my opinion they should of killed her off when she tried to save Naruto and Pain pushed her to the side. That was her epic moment of clarity to say she loved Naruto and we finally got to see her resolution. Yet she survives and does nothing of significance after but it's already been touched upon how Kishi is weak with female characters. IDK it just felt wrong as it seemed using Neji was a way to bring her importance back up. </p><p>Naruto - 2nd half of Shippudden. I saw someone mention this already but his reaction to having Sasuke go to the dark side was just sad. He was going to give up being Hokage because he couldn't save someone who didn't want to be saved. That was my biggest gripe about his character as it seemed he should of been more focused on the village and its people but he went through all the pain for Sasuke. </p><p>Kaguya - Same thing as ten tails. Was supposed to wreck people but what we got was a rush job. Her powers were cool but it just seemed her character came from nowhere considering she wasn't spoken heavily about until the war arc. </p><p>In my opinion I believe Kishi rushed the ending when in reality he could of took the story longer if he wanted to. </p>

<p>Rachin123 </p><p>B.S kakashi is a powerhouse even with out the sharingan. he was a prodigy as a child and a genius as an adult. his intelligence was said to be more than that of Shikamaru and he only needs Sharingan to safely use lightning cutter. he can still use it but he would have to develop it differently or develop an impermeable body like Third Raikage, or go another rout and learn sage mode which would mean he wouldn't need sharingan anymore </p><p>had he not had the sharingan he would have still been the same old kakashi all be it with out the sharingan he would still be a genius and still be an elite jonin as well as a former kage </p><p>as for the senju name senju means The clan with a thousand skills because unlike other Ninja Clans which specialise in one skill, the Senju were prodigious in all skills, from ninjutsu, taijutsu, Genjutsu and so on. </p><p>DaisukeDivine </p><p>the ten tails is not a He its an It </p><p>there was no reason to kill of hinata </p><p>Naruto was obsessed with saving sasuke because sasuke and naruto are the transmigrants of indra and asura as such they are chakra brothers </p><p>the need to save sasuke is a carry over from indra and asura's personalities naruto and sasuke always had a connection and it was because of them being transmigrants </p><p>you can like it or not it doesn't change anything </p>

<p>Actionmanrandell </p><p>Still stand by the ten tails statement as broad perspective because it is still a character even it is only an "it". </p><p>& I get the reason why the Sasuke and Naruto relationship had to happen, I was referencing back to before we knew about the indra and asura connection. In the grand scheme of things I liked the way everything turned out as a whole. I referenced the ending as just a think out loud nothing more. </p>

<p>•Obito- compared to Madara yet doesn't come close to being the "unstoppable wall of death" as mentioned by other users. •Konoha 11 (minus Naruto): thought they would get more development in part two •Kakashi- underutilized imo and spams lightning blade as opposed to using the other jutsu that he supposedly knows. •Mei- personally, i don't care for her general widespread fighting style. Also wish they would focus more on her clout than the fact that she wasn't married. •Orochimaru- we barely saw his fighting potential but i do like that they never showed his full power, it adds to his mystery just wished they had shown a little bit more. •Minato- turned out to be a Naruto rip-off w/FTG •Hiruzen- the very definition of overhyped. •Tailed Beasts- underutilized and didn't really show their special abilities except for Shukaku, Gyuki & Kurama •Allied Shinobi Force- seemed to only be there to show how many ppl the edo could slaughter •Anbu- like ASF, only used to show how strong somebody else was despite the fact that they were supposed to be exceptionally skilled. </p><p>After writing this you would think that I hated it, but despite how it looks Naruto is one of if not my favorite series ever. </p>

<p>I think it's because we like the series that we're so disappointed... some things had a lot of potential but were left un(der)explored </p>

<p>Maybe because exploring those things were never relevant to the plot to begin with. </p>

<p>Well there always is only a limited amount of space, and time. </p><p>I do disagree with Minato, the hokage with certainly the most powerful combo we've ever seen. Well, performed by a normal human without dozens of Kekkei Genkai or tailed beasts and such. </p>

<p>Agreed, but then Kishi definitely introduced too many characters and plot lines </p>
