>>171037871
Never forget that there were literally no sources posted with these 'leaks'

>>171038146

>>171038332
I'll have you know I'm actually Kishimoto and I shitpost on here for 23 hours a day.

>>171036249
wtf Jiraiya you retard
Don't wear sneakers with that outfit

Gaara showing these cucks how its done

How would you guys react if Kishimoto announced that his new manga is a remake of Naruto, except that the gender of every character is reversed?

>>171039117
Instantly know he's pranking everyone.

>>171039117
No reaction, I just wouldn't read it.

>>171039117
I'd rather he just remake Naruto only cut out all the filler and the bullshit and bloat that his editor and publisher made him add.

>>171039815
But we will only get the Zabuza arc from that potential remake, anon

>>171040318
He wanted to stop at Zabuza?

>>171040454
No, editors forced him to do tornament style arc early, so we got the Chunnin Exams.

>>171040714
They just made him rush into it then? I'm sure he would have gotten around to it because it's a fucking action battle shonen, got to have a tournament arc eventually.

>>171040947
Yeah, but Kishimoto wanted to have more arcs before the Chuunin Exam to actually show Team 7 BEING a team, but the editors said no.

>>171040714
I wouldn't say "forced", but it was heavily suggested.

>>171041074
Well that sounds perfect then. Looking back i think the Chuunin Exams were a bit early, that whole thing started as soon as they got back from Zabuza, right? I'd like to see more of team 7 actually becoming a real team.

Or hell maybe even being friends for fucks sake like we're supposed to believe. A little time with the other cells would have been great too.

>>171041287
That's what Kishimoto wanted to do, but his editors pressured him into running the Exams early. As a result, we don't really feel like Team 7 is a team, just a mishmash of people who hate each oher.

>>171041287
>Only went on one canonical major mission together.
>Spent most of their time being dicks to each other.
>One of them fucks off.
>"Oh the good times we've had!"

Kishi should have dropped the nakama angle right after he knew he couldn't develop it at his own pace.

>>171041670
> let's reminisce on the times we've had together
> there was the time Sasuke introduced himself by straight-up stating he was going to murder someone
> then the bell test, where 'teamwork' translated into 'giving a retard some food', apparently

> and when Sasuke literally ripped a guy's arms out of their sockets

>>171042272
At least the new series will spend some time forming relationships before everything turns to shit and DARKNESS

>>171042895
Will it, though?

>>171043507

If any of you were wondering what Boruto is saying in the trailer, someone did a translation. It's not much, just some more perspective and him shilling his own show.
>Boruto: The modernization of the village of Konohagakure continues to advance, and it’s as peaceful as can be. Ninjas might not be needed in this age, but still, I decided to attend the ninja academy. But everyone only looks at me as the “Hokage’s son.” I’ll escape from that label as fast as you can blink and have everyone recognize me for who I am! This is my story! BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS begins airing on April 5 at 5:55 p.m.!

>>171056615
> Ninjas might not be needed in this age
Not when the average joe can load up a scroll in a wrist rocket and launch it anyone. And before 'well you still need a ninja to seal the scroll', they clearly came up with the technology to UNSEAL the scroll without being a ninja, so it's reasonable to assume there'd be a way to create a scroll without being a ninja.

>>171057009
All they need are a ninja to do the jutsu they seal, and that's only until they find out how to copy jutsu.

>before Naruto Ame was a battleground for the greater villages to fight which wrecked the place and left it poverty stricken

>>171059275

Will Tenten be an arc miniboss as the head of a massive arms smuggling ring in Ame?

I wonder if Kishimoto had already come up with the idea that Kakashi had killed Rin the exact same way when he did this scene. I don't think he had, because if that were the case, I feel like Kakashi would've have a WAY bigger breakdown

>>171063050
Kakashi probably killed multiple people that way after Rin.

Is it just me or was early Naruto just a bit too edgy? I mean, take the Chuunin Exams for example. Who'd condone such a thing as the fucking Forest of Death? The parents must be assholes. Furthermore, just look at the basket case that was Gaara. By all rights he should have been executed for his behavior, jinchuuriki or not.

At least nowadays when shit like that happens it seems deserved. Of course, I was too young to really think about this stuff when I was watching it, but looking back, my outlook has changed.

>>171067269
> Is it just me or was early Naruto just a bit too edgy?
It was an excellent showing of what the universe was originally created to be - showing that even in times of 'peace' there were still child soldiers, combat and death.

> Who'd condone such a thing as the fucking Forest of Death? The parents must be assholes.
The people who'd make Ryo hand over fist on it, I guess. I mean, nobody HAS to do it - the Genin know going in that they could die, it's why they all need waivers.

> Furthermore, just look at the basket case that was Gaara. By all rights he should have been executed for his behavior, jinchuuriki or not.
I don't think anyone wanted to invade Sunagakure over something like that, especially considering the defences that Gaara had. He would've wiped out dozens of shinobi - BEFORE he went One Tailed Form. It just wouldn't be worth it.

>>171067269
They're the military.

>executed
Gaara is a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't case. With the consideration that he's a walking WMD and that Suna depends on his continued existence for balance of power, and also the fact that since 4th Kazakage and 3rd Hokage is dead there's basically nobody capable of handling Gaara anymore?

>>171067487
>I mean, nobody HAS to do it - the Genin know going in that they could die, it's why they all need waivers.
No offense, but they're like middle schoolers. I don't know if they're the most responsible.

>>171067487
None of that makes sense to me, anon. Child soldiers only exist in the worst shitholes on the planet, they'd never be viable as any kind of long-term program. If they were going to have something like that, it should have been when they were older.

>it's why they all need waivers
There's a reason we don't let kids enter into binding contracts. They have no idea what the fuck they're doing.

The Land of Waves made sense: it was an A-Rank mission disguised as a C-Rank. That was the entire point. But the Forest of Death was just fucking dumb.

As for Gaara, it doesn't matter. After causing that much senseless death he deserved to be put down. Letting him go because he dindu nuffin was stupid. If they wanted to make him a good guy later, they should have stepped it back a little with the violence.

>>171067567
> there's basically nobody capable of handling Gaara anymore?
Naruto is.
Gaara stood down rather than fight Guy
Jiraiya spooked Itachi AND Kisame into fleeing rather than fighting
Tsunade would likely defeat Part I Gaara.

There's a large number of people who could if not kill, at least disable Gaara during Part I

>>171067567
>They're the military
They're fucking 12.

>>171067335
Man, a lot of people were willing to join the evil guy who looks like a snake and sounds like a pedophile.

Anyway, it's funny because Sasuke didn't kill any of them. That's why his character was still somewhat likable before the Kage Summit Arc.

>>171067567
>and that Suna depends on his continued existence for balance of power
Actually, they would have loved it if someone could off Gaara for them, given how often they'd tried and failed in the past.

>>171067773
And furthermore, the Forest was the only place where killing was condoned. Not in the first stage, and not in the preliminaries or finals. It could happen, but the teachers stepped in before it did. Hell, when Neji was about to kill Hinata, all of the Jonin jumped in to stop him.

The more I think of it, the more stupid it seems.

>>171067890
>They're fucking 12.
What's your point?

>>171067819
>Naruto is
Naruto is also a moralfag and Gaara dropped where nobody could recover him before Kankuro and Temari evac'd him.

>Gai, Jiraiya, Tsunade
Tsunade was a drunken gambler at the time, I dunno where Jiraiya was and Gai was busy in the actual village.

>>171067975
Offing Gaara only makes sense when it's done within Suna so they can recover the 1-tails. If it were done within Konoha, Konoha would have two beasts and Suna would have zero.

>>171067770
I wonder if the parents had a say in it. I mean, the ones that HAD parents would likely impress upon them the importance and seriousness of it.

>>171067773
> Child soldiers only exist in the worst shitholes on the planet
Like the entirety of the Narutoverse before Boruto, basically.

> they'd never be viable as any kind of long-term program
I guess space magic changes that, especially when you have anomalies like Kakashi, Itachi, Zabuza, Madara, Sasuke, Naruto, Gaara, the list goes on.

> They have no idea what the fuck they're doing.
Which is why it's up to the Jounin to put their name up. If the Jounin doesn't think they're ready, they can't even enter.

> But the Forest of Death was just fucking dumb.
The only dumb part was putting people like Gaara in with the group, and also somehow completely missing Orochimaru.

> After causing that much senseless death he deserved to be put down.
Reminder that Gaara was literally a tool and a weapon that was being ordered around by someone who wasn't even his dad, and he couldn't sleep for more than a few hours a night, every night of his life, because if he did he'd go ballistic and murder everything. If you're going to blame anyone, blame Rasa.

Anyway, it's not like the series has a history of punishing people because they do bad things
> Hashirama just let Madara walk away after he explicitly states he's going to work against Konoha
> Orochimaru is free
> Kabuto runs an orphanage
> Itachi was apparently never a bad guy at all
> Sasuke. Enough said.
> Obito

>>171068058
> Tsunade was a drunken gambler at the time, I dunno where Jiraiya was and Gai was busy in the actual village.
I didn't think you meant at the EXACT point Naruto beat Gaara. I thought you mean just after the Invasion after everything had calmed down.

>>171068049
The Forest is a live sim of what's going to happen. Remember that Chuunins are squad leaders. They're commissioned officers. We're looking at Lieutenants and Captains. Genin are basically NCOs and footsoldiers. Jounin are actual elites, they're the colonels and the lower generals, there's not supposed to be a lot of them.
Captains and Lieutenants you would imagine need to know how to fight in actual battles. The FoD exists as a way to simulate 'get information and get to the evac point'. You don't NEED to kill anyone, but nobody's going to stop you.

>>171068331
After the invasion Suna and Konoha were at peace, executing Gaara would require another declaration of war or some sort of elite hit squad going undercover.

>>171068058
Okay, stupid. I'm going to explain the "military" cycle for your typical genin. They start out as a literal child, around 6-8, and join the ninja academy. In the academy they learn the bare basics of being and ninja and become genin when they graduate.

Then, to pass into the NEXT FUCKING RANK above them they have a) complete some kind of written/mental test, b) survive a FUCKING FOREST OF DEATH despite being full-fledged ninjas for barely a year or so by now, and c) compete in a series of non-lethal (it can happen but it's discouraged) 1-vs-1 bouts. Those who meet the necessary criteria (which is stupid since even losers at this stage can get promoted) become Chuunin.

The Forest of Death should have been something that was required to become a Jonin. Giving kids such an obscenely dangerous challenge after a simple quiz is stupid and out of place.

>>171068379
> Suna and Konoha were at peace
Only because Konoha basically said 'You're our vassal now - we fucking OWN you' and Suna just sort of shrugged and said "Yeah, that's fair"

>>171068407
>stupid
Epic.

>They start out as a literal child, around 6-8, and join the ninja academy. In the academy they learn the bare basics of being and ninja and become genin when they graduate.
Genin are just normal soldiers who do recon work, fetch quests and some light fighting against other genin-classes, so yeah.

>Then, to pass into the NEXT FUCKING RANK above them they have a) complete some kind of written/mental test, b) survive a FUCKING FOREST OF DEATH despite being full-fledged ninjas for barely a year or so by now, and c) compete in a series of non-lethal (it can happen but it's discouraged) 1-vs-1 bouts. Those who meet the necessary criteria (which is stupid since even losers at this stage can get promoted) become Chuunin.
Reminder that the Chuunin exams are not something you literally have to take, and that there were plenty of people who looked like they were in their twenties or late teens in that exam booth. Chuunin are already elites, Genin isn't some sort of shamefur dispray unless you're actually aiming for the top. Most of the entire village is going to be genin. Jounin? Jounin are the aces of the entire fucking country. Kakashi and Asuma are the best of the best. I'm not even sure how many jounin there are total in the village.

>>171068562
I mean yeah but at that point, killing Gaara is like shooting yourself in the foot. You do have people who are proven able to handle it, after all.

>>171068331
>Like the entirety of the Narutoverse before Boruto, basically
Konoha was prosperous, get the fuck out.

>If the Jounin doesn't think they're ready, they can't even enter
The exam, not the forest. My entire complaint is about the stupid forest.

Regardless, if Kishi were going to make Gaara a good guy, he shouldn't have went so far with the killing because it makes the character irredeemable.

>>171068338
>applying real military categories to nardo
You have autism. Their chain of command has 4, maybe 5 positions, the gaps in skill between each being massive.

>The FoD exists as a way to simulate 'get information and get to the evac point'
There are better ways to do it than a death forest.
>but nobody's going to stop you
And that's the problem. Hell, your point of using the real world as an analogue is even more retarded because no sane military has a death forest or anything similar as a test to pass its training program.

>>171068338
> Jounin are actual elites, they're the colonels and the lower generals
If Generals led green privates on the front lines.

>>171068407
> b) survive a FUCKING FOREST OF DEATH despite being full-fledged ninjas for barely a year or so by now
Reminder that their Jounin decide if they're ready. If the Jounin doesn't think you're ready after four years, guess what, you're still a fucking Genin until your commander thinks you're ready. There were people in Naruto's Chuunin Exam who were fucking 30 years old or older

>>171068407
Gai's team took an extra year so they were ninja for 2 years. You can wait as long as you think you need.

>>171068636
>Genin are just normal soldiers who do recon work
They chase cats. That's the typical mission befitting of a genin.

>>171068636
>and that there were plenty of people who looked like they were in their twenties or late teens in that exam booth
Then have the age limit be, oh I dunno, 18 or so? Why does it have to be kids? Why the extreme leap in difficulty between the first and second rounds? Nobody died in the third round, and that's supposed to be the hardest.

It makes no sense.

>>171068636
>Jounin are the aces of the entire fucking country. Kakashi and Asuma are the best of the best. I'm not even sure how many jounin there are total in the village.
How blessed were the main characters considering damn near every single member in the Konoha academy under Iruka's tutelage in the Naruto years went on to become Jounin.

>>171068693
> Konoha was prosperous, get the fuck out.
And got invaded, attacked, or had an internal issue no less than SIX times before Boruto. NONE of which were during the Shinobi World Wars.

> The exam, not the forest. My entire complaint is about the stupid forest.
The Jounin would know that the Forest makes up part of the Exam, and would be aware of it. Not to mention that clearly the Forest isn't in EVERY Exam, and the Jounins would be made aware of the Exam makeup before they submitted their Genin

>>171068694
>Reminder that their Jounin decide if they're ready
For the exam as a whole. In fact, don't the tests change between each cycle to prevent cheating? Or do they repeatedly use the murder forest after cleaning the child skeletons out each time?

>>171068897
The exact tests change, but the Jounin would be aware of the layout before submitting their teams for the Exam. And even if they didn't know the details, they WOULD know that there would be live-fire combat, and would know if their team could handle it.

>>171068715
Yeah, but irreverent psychopaths like Kakashi might say you're ready when you're not. There should be an age limit.

>>171068845
And they didn't mention a thing to their genin beforehand, which either means they weren't aware, or they were and decided that these kids who'd spent the last few months catching cats and doing paper routes were ready. Furthermore, nobody's screened beforehand to make sure they aren't, oh, I don't know, FUCKING OROCHIMARU, or some other kind of psychopath - like Gaara.

The more and more I think of it the dumber and dumber it seems. Nothing else was like that in part 1.

>>171068694
>If generals led
Well yeah that doesn't make much sense but then again their command structure doesn't really work in the way you'd expect an actual military to structure it.
Also, Chuunin are normal squad leaders, apparently, so I'm guessing most of the squads we see are just special cases. Gai and Genjutsu Jobber's team (the latter isn't even a legit Jounin) have hyuuga in them, Asuma leads the Ino-Shika-Cho, Kakashi leads the last Uchiha. You'd expect these teams to get special treatment.

>>171068798
Well those teams ARE special.

>>171068793
>They chase cats. That's the typical mission befitting of a genin.
Chasing cats are miscellaneous requests for the greenest genin, you can easily take genin squads out for recon work as a chuunin, that's what chuunin do and genin follow. Obviously you can't do it on your own as a genin.

>age limit
Why? A genin is a soldier. They and their officer are responsible for knowing what they can handle and backing out if it's too much.

>first and second rounds
The first round was an exercise in information gathering. The second round was an exercise in live espionage against opposition squads and escape / stealth. The third round was just a plain bout under supervision so parties could display their skills fully in controlled settings. Battles, though, are not controlled settings.

>>171069068
There should be plenty of shit, but that's not how it is. You have your answer, stop moralfagging.

>>171068897
Also, do they notify the parents if their kid got eaten by a giant snake or something? Wonder how those visits go.

>>171069161
Parents who didn't want that to happen shouldn't have made them go to ninja academy then, we're told there's a lot of people who aren't proper shinobi.

>>171068693
Gaara killed three rain chumps who were admittedly in the wrong place at the wrong time but were likely dicks anyway given how easily their leader took to lethal force, two guys that were hired to kill him, and one guy who sought him out to kill him

Compared to some characters, calling him irredeemable is a joke

>>171069224
Kind of unrelated, but wasn't Temari relatively soft on him even when he was an unstable nut?

>>171068338
I'd say Chunin are closer to NCOs

>>171069131
Just admit that the forest sucks and makes no sense as a method to train young ninja.

>A genin is a soldier
A child soldier. This isn't Somalia. And most genin never even see combat, that's kind of the point. And if genin aren't barred from going on chuunin-level missions because of their squad leader, that's a mistake and needs to be changed.

>>171069083
>The second round was an exercise in live espionage against opposition squads and escape / stealth
Where you can die and people can kill you with no recourse even though the entire thing is under surveillance. See the problem?

In fact, what do you think they do with all the child snuff films they record? Sell 'em on the shinobi black market?

I don't care about the rain fuckers. It was all the other people he murdered for no reason.

>>171069068
> And they didn't mention a thing to their genin beforehand
Of course not, that would be cheating.

> or they were and decided that these kids who'd spent the last few months catching cats and doing paper routes were ready
Catching cats, doing paper routes, awakening the most OP eye power in the series at the time, and defeating a Kiri Hunter Killer (or someone on that level).

> Furthermore, nobody's screened beforehand to make sure they aren't, oh, I don't know, FUCKING OROCHIMARU, or some other kind of psychopath - like Gaara.
Orochimaru clearly looked similar to the shinobi he murdered, and just stashed the bodies of the other two. As for Gaara, there would've been a fucking UPROAR if Naruto was able to enter but Gaara wasn't.

Then that Village that implements those rules is at an immediate disadvantage to those that don't, as that Village will receive less missions, make less money, and will have less soldiers to replace losses or should they come under attack

>>171069326
>but wasn't Temari relatively soft on him even when he was an unstable nut?
That was because her and Kankuro were constantly fearing for their own lives around their psychotic little brother.

>>171069468

So nobody that didn't attack him first

>>171069468
> It was all the other people he murdered for no reason.

> two guys who were going to try and make him throw the fight by force
> his uncle, who was ordered to kill him
Pretty sure that's literally everyone we see. We don't know that any others are 'for no reason'. If they were enemy combatants while he was on mission, that'd be fine

>>171069332
I'm trying to slot stuff into a modern military and it honestly isn't working very well, either way they're officers and need to earn their rank.
Chuunin are educated, right? There were all sorts of convoluted questions on the exam that chuunin supposedly knew how to solve. But we've never seen anything like Chuunin school.

>>171069365
>Just admit that the forest sucks and makes no sense as a method to train young ninja.
It doesn't make sense, but not for the reasons you think. There's too much dropout, you can lose like 50% of the hopefuls. Then again though, the Chuunin exams are highly political in nature, they're like the Olympics but have a direct impact on your military might.

>A child soldier. This isn't Somalia. And most genin never even see combat, that's kind of the point.
No, most NEW genin don't see combat. Genin are the faggots who follow chuunin into their missions. You can easily be a genin at 20.

>And if genin aren't barred from going on chuunin-level missions because of their squad leader, that's a mistake and needs to be changed.
Why? Chuunin are LEADERS. Why would you send out a squad full of people qualified to lead instead of a squad of regular led by one qualified to lead unless you're trying to build some sort of strike team?

>See the problem?
No.

>>171069468
>sorry you sent your kid to grade 3, we conscripted him for military service and he got blown apart by a mortar
>grade 3
You mean West Point? Because that's what the ninja academy is. There's plenty of fucking farmers or seamstresses or some shit, send your kid to a military academy, don't be surprised when he fucking dies.

>>171069494
>Orochimaru clearly looked similar to the shinobi he murdered
No, Orochimaru had some special jutsu to steal a guy's face. It's honestly not surprising that they couldn't find him when Orochimaru is presented as a living legend.

>>171069562
No, Kankuro was only soft in his presence but was extremely abrasive when out of earshot.
Temari didn't really seem to be pissed at Gaara even when he wasn't around, she seemed more sorry than anything.

>>171069494
>As for Gaara, there would've been a fucking UPROAR if Naruto was able to enter but Gaara wasn't
A fake one maybe. The only argument Konoha would have to make is that their jinchuuriki isn't an unstable nutball who killed scores of his own countrymen.

>>171069494
>putting soldiers through live fire exercises is a bad training method
Yes, it is. That's why modern militaries don't do it.
>People IRL get killed in training exercises
As accidents. It's accidental when it happens. If you stab your bunk mate in the throat during a training exercise, you go to jail.

>>171069494
>Then that Village that implements those rules is at an immediate disadvantage to those that don't
In the short-run, but they'll have more ninja who didn't die as children in the long-run. Of course, this is the same series where all the uniquely gifted individuals are either hunted down and killed for being abominations or treated with open hostility despite being the equivalent of a walking nuke.

Intelligence in Naruto is in short supply.

>>171069851
>A fake one maybe.
No, a real one. Learn international politics.

>Yes, it is.
It isn't. It was phased out because too many people died during it and they decided sims were more efficient.

>That's why modern militaries don't do it.
And motherfucking Naruto is stuck in the literal feudal era with mercanary groups setting up private villages, what's your fucking point?

I agree, but you certainly aren't all that intelligent either.

>>171069747
>It doesn't make sense, but not for the reasons you think. There's too much dropout, you can lose like 50% of the hopefuls
And then another 40% to giant snakes and dickbags from other villages who, since this is the time when villages were at each other's throats, would be encouraged to kill the other village kids to secure a future advantage in shinobi.

So not only is it stupid to have, it's even more stupid to leave unsupervised and invite the assholes from other villages to.

And this is in a village that seems to only have around a dozen new shinobi every generation.

>>171069747
>Why would you send out a squad full of people qualified to lead instead of a squad of regular led by one qualified to lead unless you're trying to build some sort of strike team?
Because they shouldn't be supported by fucking children.

But to be fair, they kind of do that. Genin can only accept D and C-rank missions, while Chuunin can accept C and B-rank missions. To my knowledge a chuunin leader can't bring their genin squad on a B-rank mission.

>>171069747
>You mean West Point?
Once again, you're stupid. That is a college, for adults. Not a primary school, which is what the ninja academy is.

>>171070118

>Learn international politics
So like I said, a fake one.

>>171070016
>It was phased out because too many people died during it and they decided sims were more efficient
Exactly. Thank you for proving my point. That's why they phased out the forest for Boruto and replaced it with ninja capture the flag.

>>171070016
>what's your fucking point?
Except they have televisions, and methods of employment that aren't solely agricultural. The technological advancement in Naruto was always a bit fucky

>but you certainly aren't all that intelligent either
I'm smarter than you.

>>171070128
>So not only is it stupid to have, it's even more stupid to leave unsupervised and invite the assholes from other villages to.
It's unsupervised and you invite other assholes in specifically BECAUSE you're not stopping them from killing your kids. They can't stop you back after all, and the entire thing is like some sort of demented joint military exercise where you can show off your new generation, leaving fewer secrets.

>Because they shouldn't be supported by fucking children.
GENIN ARE NOT ALWAYS CHILDREN
THEIR AGE IS IRRELEVANT
THEY'RE SOLDIERS

>Once again, you're stupid. That is a college, for adults
No, it is a military academy, which is also what the ninja academy is.

>>171069851
> A fake one maybe
Not from Sunagakure's end. They'd call bullshit that Naruto, a Jinchuuriki, can enter, but their own Jinchuuriki couldn't. Konoha could say that Naruto hasn't killed anybody from that Land of Fire, but Suna can just say that that is irrelevant when it comes to the test, and that things like that are for Sunagakure to investigate internally. Not to mention that Konoha WOULDN'T KNOW that Gaara is a psychopath.

But if you stab an enemy combatant, you don't. Which is what all of the teams are during the Forest of Death. Enemy combatants.
> inb4 muh court martial rules of engagement etc etc

Hello Chink

>>171070118
That's probably why they changed it to blue, because it was confusing since Kurama's chakra was orange/red

>>171070291
Wow, you are really, really stupid.

>>171070291
>No, it is a military academy
For college-aged students that provides bachelor degrees. Yep, not a college at all.

>>171070471
The ninja academy is not a fucking public school you send your kids to to get educated. You send your child there to be trained to become a soldier. The purpose is the same

>>171070290
>So like I said, a fake one.
If that's what you call fake, then whatever, but it'd effectively be a real one.

>Exactly.
You said it's a BAD training method, when it isn't - it's a less optimal training method.

>capture the flag
That's training for an entirely different mission at this point. FoD was training for tracking, search, elimination, and escape. Capture the Flag is training for stealth, stalling, and escape. Poor comparison.

>Except they have televisions, and methods of employment that aren't solely agricultural. The technological advancement in Naruto was always a bit fucky
Who the fuck cares about the technology? I'm talking about the societal makeup. And do you think feudal societies were entirely comprised of farmers or something? Merchants and artisans were big deals back then.

>I'm smarter than you.
This is coming from someone who doesn't understand the difference between societies and technologies.

>>171070467
No. I'm Chink.

>>171070471
>For college-aged students that provides bachelor degrees
Whether or not it is a college is fucking irrelevant to the fact that it is a military academy that turns out full soldiers. That is ALSO what the ninja academy is, canonically.

>Wow, you are really, really stupid.
Coming from someone who quoted the same post twice because he doesn't understand how greentext works?

>>171070467
>I don't think we see Chuunin leading Genin. It's always a Jounin leader.
The manga says chuunin are squad leaders so you expect they're leading genin. They can't be leading other chuunin or jounin after all.

>>171070467
>I don't think we see Chuunin leading Genin.
Shikamaru and the Sasuke recovery squad is one, even if it's an emergency.

>>171070665
Chuunin could definitely lead other Chuunin. Just because they're the same rank doesn't mean the couldn't be a squad leader.

>>171070692
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. But yeah as you said, it's pretty ad hoc

>>171070715
I mean they're squad leaders. I don't think it makes much sense for someone to be a squad leader, only to lead other squad leaders around.

Please, stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

Which defeats the purpose of it being a training exercise. A training exercise is by definition, an exercise to simulate actual combat. If there's enemy combatants, it becomes actual combat.

>I don't think we see Chuunin leading Genin
Apparently they can, we just never see them doing it. The Chuunin Exams is a test to determine who's fit for squad leadership, hence why Shikamaru was still promoted when he lost the match.

>international politics is fake
It kind of is. That's why the U.N. has no real authority.

>implying people couldn't be killed during that
But where they explicitly allowed? No. They were told to capture the enemy flag while defending their own. Otherwise, Inojin would have slit that Grass genin's throat when he had him pinned.

>>171070598
>The ninja academy is not a fucking public school you send your kids to to get educated
I mean, where else do kids get educated? And nigger, they're like 8. They learn to throw shuriken, which is dangerous, but not nearly as dangerous as something called the Forest of Fucking death.

Hell, we teach kids to do archery and hunting, and while that shit has inherent risks, it's not nearly as dangerous as actual combat, simulated or not.

>>171070871
>nigger
We don't say that here.

>>171070871
A fucking regular school or something, by their parents, who gives a fuck? We never see it because it's not important. But the vast majority of people aren't ninja, and their kids aren't sent to the academy. The ones who are are trained to fight and kill. They are soldiers. What is so hard about this?

>>171070780
>Because theirs is an unstable psychopath who its own village tried to put down on numerous occasions.
Konoha wouldn't know that, and it's an internal matter. It'd be like the US being banned from the Olympics because the governor of New York is a fag or something.

>A training exercise is by definition, an exercise to simulate actual combat. If there's enemy combatants, it becomes actual combat.
Yeah except that's what the Chuunin exams lowkey are to every village. Other villages, for prestige, have sent their new flocks over. If you could just nip them in the bud...

>It kind of is.
Retard detected.

>That's why the U.N. has no real authority.
It's also the cause behind the First and Second Great Wars,the Franco-Prussian War, the end of gold / silver standards, the decision to force Japan to boost the value of its currency nearly threefold causing it's economy to fucking obliterate itself, and so on. It's anything but fake.

>They were told to capture the enemy flag while defending their own.

>>171070970
>IT'S THIS GUY AGAIN.

>>171070871

>>171070601
>it's a less optimal training method
Which is just another word for bad. Because if there are better methods, why not use them? Why put genin at unnecessary risk of being killed during what is effectively a training exercise?

Christ, I feel like Mr. Plinkett dissecting the Star Wars prequels.

>Poor comparison.
Apparently not, Captain Autism, because it was the FoD's replacement in Boruto's age, which means it was deemed effective enough a teaching tool by the instructors. You gonna say that one's bad too, when nobody died?

>the difference between societies and technologies
Technology changes society. A more technologically advanced society will usually be a less barbaric one. Unless it's Muslim.

>Whether or not it is a college is fucking irrelevant to the fact that it is a military academy that turns out full soldiers
And this is why I call you dumb. If you can't tell the difference in mental faculties between an 8 year old and a college student (but I'll admit it's getting hard to tell the difference these days) then I'm afraid I can't help you.

>because he doesn't understand how greentext works?
You post so much stupid shit I sometimes get caught up. Sorry. Try to go easier on me, okay?

>>171070780
>They were told to capture the enemy flag while defending their own.
During the FoD, they were told to get the other scroll and fuck off to the middle tree. The entire thing could've ended, theoretically, with 0 deaths.

>>171070970
Shut up, nigger.

>>171070759
Unless it's a mission that a Chuunin and three Genin couldn't handle.

>>171070780
> Because theirs is an unstable psychopath who its own village tried to put down on numerous occasions.
Konoha wouldn't know that. Suna wouldn't go around saying "HEY OUT JINCHUURIKI IS A PSYCHOPATH, DON'T LET US INTO CHUUNIN EXAMS". They'd keep that super close to the chest.

> Which defeats the purpose of it being a training exercise.
Then...the Forest isn't a training exercise, it's a graduation test? You're not 'training' anyone to improve skill, you're seeing who already HAS the skill to move on.

> Apparently they can, we just never see them doing it.
Then why are they wasting people like Kakashi and Guy who can SOLO A-rank missions on teaching retards?

> It kind of is. That's why the U.N. has no real authority.
The shinobi world isn't the UN though

> But where they explicitly allowed? No.
Were they explicitly told NOT to? No.

> They were told to capture the enemy flag while defending their own. Otherwise, Inojin would have slit that Grass genin's throat when he had him pinned.
Why would Inojin have just slit his throat for no reason? You're assuming that just because someone CAN kill they WILL ALWAYS KILL.

>>171070989
>The ones who are are trained to fight and kill
As little-ass kids.

>What is so hard about this?
If you can't see the difference between the academy's lackadaisical classroom environment and a forest filled with giant monsters and murderous classmates a few months to a year later, I can't help you.

This is like asking "if the tercio is better than just normal guns and pikes seperately why didn't people use it?"
They didn't fucking think of it. That, and it served a politcal purpose.

>because it was the FoD's replacement in Boruto's age
The FoD isn't used 100% of the time in the chuunin exam you dumb fuck, and neither was the written test.

>Technology changes society. A more technologically advanced society will usually be a less barbaric one.
That's complete bullshit. The Imperial method of rule lasted fine in BC eras and worked fine in the 1700s too. Societies and technologies have a certain level of ties, but they're not the fucking same otherwise why the FUCK would you have literal mecernaries and no professional army or police force and why would the Hokage be chosen by appointment?

>If you can't tell the difference in mental faculties between an 8 year old and a college student
It's completely irrelevant. They're soldiers.

And I'll generally assume that not murdering each other in cold blood was also mentioned. Or maybe the kids in Boruto are so mentally-well adjusted by not being led by a psychopath that they didn't even have to ask. God, what an improvement!

>>171071387
>Gai leads Neji, a genius even by Hyuuga standards
Also, worth noting Guy-sensei was leading Neji when he was still a Jonin at the beginning of Shippuden when they were rescuing Gaara

>>171071091
I was just remarking on how we've never seen a non-ninja school in Naruto. Who knows, maybe Boruto will be flipping through a bunch of brochures and decide to enroll in the academy. Or maybe the rules have changed, since he seems older than Naruto was and likely already finished regular school. In a time of peace when ninjas aren't a necessity, that seems like a distinct possibility.

>>171071091
> A normal school.
We never see any. You either become a ninja, or learn the family trade, whatever that may be. I mean, you could probably enter the Academy to get an education and just flunk out on purpose if you don't want to see combat, since they clearly still teach topics like advanced mathematics to 12 year olds, considering the type of questions Sakura was solving in Exam 1.

>>171071120
> Why put genin at unnecessary risk of being killed during what is effectively a training exercise?
It's not a training exercise. It's a graduation process.

In an age where ninja are becoming a relic of the past. Of course you dumb down the test if literally everyone on earth is friends. Not just at peace, but literally best mates with each other.

If they mentioned that killing was forbidden and not allowed Gaara to participate, then yes, 0 deaths. Except to the assortment of giant, man-eating animals they threw in for some reason. Because you know, ninja encounter a lot of THOSE while on missions. Eh, maybe it was to simulate fighting a summon. Well in that case they should have used actual summons and had them poof away when they beat a kid.
I could go on for hours shitting on the Forest, it's that bad.

Because Kishimoto is not a very smart man. And neither are you.

>>171071748
> After all, if you're allowed, why go at someone with anything less than killing intent?
Because you're not a fucking psychopath and it's not your primary mission goal?

>>171071862
> Yeah but they're implied to exist because Kishimoto said that most people aren't ninja.
Which is exactly why I said most people would likely just learn the trade of their family. Your dad makes weapons? Guess what, odds are you're going to be working the bellows as soon as you're old enough.

>>171071614
>Of course you dumb down the test if literally everyone on earth is friends
Or it produces the same caliber of ninja without any extra risk. And you get more ninja per exam and less entrails to mop up after every round.

>>171071346
>The FoD isn't used 100% of the time in the chuunin exam you dumb fuck
Then you'd think anyone smart enough to see that it was being used this year would wait until next year to take the exam. Parents who actually cared about their kids wouldn't let them participate in those years because of the inherent risks.

>>171071905
>hey, we can test these kids for the exact same skills and the risk of death is significantly lower. Should we use it in our next exam?
> implying a low-risk 3v3 Capture the Flag searches for the exact same skills as a five-day battle royale in a 10-kilometre radius forest
HAHAHAHAHAHAAH ARE YOU FOR REAL

>>171072003
> Or it produces the same caliber of ninja without any extra risk
Considering nobody became a Chuunin out of that Exam, clearly not, since at least Shikamaru was promoted at Naruto's one.

>>171071905
>hey, we can test these kids for the exact same skills and the risk of death is significantly lower. Should we use it in our next exam?
Why don't you fucking understand that killing enemy shinobi is also the fucking point? Yes, they're ENEMIES.
And anyway the idea is that if you're not ready to face death in the eye, you're not ready to be a chuunin. There's plenty of martial societies where advancement, at least partially, came by way of a duel. To death. Imagine that, isn't it a waste to lose a master to another master? But that's just how their society works.

>Take your pick.
I'll take "you're retarded and a moralfag".

>Because Kishimoto is not a very smart man.
Yeah this is completely irrelevant because he is God in that setting and what he says goes. You can apply all sorts of interpretations, but they're a feudal society and this is canonical. It's not a stretch to think they also have feudal values.
Anyway, there's no real reason they can't be a feudal society. In fact it seems to me exceedingly likely because they live in a setting where the gap between the powerful and the weak is extremely large - much like, in fact, feudal society with a ruling warrior caste.

>And neither are you.
Mhmm.

>>171071614
>A. GENIN. DOES. NOT. NEED. TO. TAKE. THE. EXAM. AT. THE. NEXT. POSSIBLE. OPPORTUNITY.
Yeah, but pretty much all of them do so it's irrelevant. Just have a fucking age restriction.

>>171071642
I mean, he thought the FoD was good, he's obviously an edgelord.

>>171071674
>to a fucking fictional setting that explicitly has different morals
I'd be fine with it if it were somewhat justified, but it's not.

>>171072092
> Then you'd think anyone smart enough to see that it was being used this year would wait until next year to take the exam
The Genin wouldn't know in advance what the Exam would be, and if the Jounin knew, it's likely they wouldn't be allowed to give the Genin details.

>>171072221
> Yeah, but pretty much all of them do so it's irrelevant.
What's your point? Just because they can, doesn't mean they need to. If they're arrogant enough to think they can become Chuunin, they face the consequences.

>>171072221
>but pretty much all of them do
WRONG.

>>171071846
>It IS if you kill more of an enemy Village's children than they kill of yours
Well I guess Konoha got lucky all the important characters were from their village. Maybe they read the script.

>>171071642
Morality is not an argument simply because everyone has different moral standards and different societies have different moralities. Use other arguments such as "people die and I think this is bad". He uses this argument, and it isn't valid here because killing rival hopefuls is actually a political purpose.

>>171072221
> but pretty much all of them do
We saw how many literally whos were in Naruto's class.
Canonically, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM passed.
Canonically, only Teams 7, 8 and 10 entered the Exam. No other team was showing having entered from their year level.
Assume that their class had 30 students. That means that nearly two-thirds of the possible Genin from that year level alone chose - or weren't allowed to - enter.

>>171071642
>telling someone to kill themselves
This is immoral.

>>171071862
>Neither an argument nor relevant
So you ARE pro-EU?

>To being soldiers, that they can't even shoot someone anymore?
Yep. Because the new era isn't a constant bloodbath of stupidity and greed.

>every soldier is a psychopath
No, but Hiruzen certainly was. Or at the very least grossly criminally negligent.

>They're just there and live in the forest
Then fucking kill them.

>>171072221
It's a fictional setting that has a completely different history than our own. Less than one hundred years before the beginning of the story, shinobi were all separate clans for hire, going to war with their own children in tow, ones that were literally raised on the battlefield. To the people in the setting, the fact that they now have a ninja academy at all is a huge step up

>>171071978
>Because you're not a fucking psychopath and it's not your primary mission goal?
But the proctors said it's okay.

>implying a low-risk 3v3 Capture the Flag searches for the exact same skills as a five-day battle royale in a 10-kilometre radius forest
It was to the instructors, so yes, I am very real. Try again, dummy.

>>171072421
>So you ARE pro-EU?
I said it's not relevant, didn't I? You're coming off as being extremely pro-EU though so I dunno why you'd use it as an insult.

>Yep. Because the new era isn't a constant bloodbath of stupidity and greed.
I'm not asking for your personal values or your personal judgement of good or bad. If a soldier can't pull the trigger when he's needed to, then he's a poor soldier by definition. Now, whether or not the Chuunin exams is a place where it'd be good to, that's another argument.

>No, but Hiruzen certainly was. Or at the very least grossly criminally negligent.
Hiruzen had severe neglect issues with respect to Naruto despite being entrusted by his predecessor (and successor) but I don't see much else psychopathic out of him.

>Then fucking kill them.
>then fucking kill all the bears and lions in the wild because they can eat you
Look bitch, the FoD was obviously basically a natural preserve.

>>171072154
>Why don't you fucking understand that killing enemy shinobi is also the fucking point? Yes, they're ENEMIES
Then why have the exam at all? Why not just kill all the enemy kids in their sleep?

>There's plenty of martial societies where advancement, at least partially, came by way of a duel
Not anymore, and I'm pretty sure we're to assume that the world Naruto takes place in is at least somewhat modern.

>and a moralfag
I mean, if not digesting the shit an edgy 13 year old with no critical thinking skills does makes me a moralfag, then yeah, I guess I'm a moral fag.

>>171072280
>If they're arrogant enough to think they can become Chuunin, they face the consequences
They're 12. That's my point. Smart societies don't let children make these kinds of decisions because they're unable to appreciate the consequences or have enough perspective or brain power to think things through.

>>171072356
Nice moral relativism my man.

>>171072421
> Because the new era isn't a constant bloodbath of stupidity and greed.
From what we've seen, yeah it is. It's just gonna come from outside rather than within.

>>171072510
> But the proctors said it's okay
Who cares? Just because it's allowed doesn't mean you MUST do it. Why aren't you getting that? Just because Inojin might've been ALLOWED to kill the ninja he had by the throat doesn't mean he ABSOLUTELY HAD TO if he didn't feel he needed to. If he felt he had the shinobi subdued, and he didn't want to kill him, he wasn't forced to.

> It was to the instructors, so yes, I am very real. Try again, dummy.
But it wasn't? The skills needed for those two tests are completely separate? You can't say you know what the instructors were looking for because it's a fucking fictional setting and you can't ask them.

>>171072697
> They're 12. That's my point. Smart societies don't let children make these kinds of decisions because they're unable to appreciate the consequences or have enough perspective or brain power to think things through.
Which is why adult Jounin need to make the decision to even allow them to take the exam haha. We always manage to get back here because you can't seem to understand that the Jounin would have a greater grasp on the Genin's abilities than they would, and would be able to decide if the team can handle what would reasonably be expected in an Exam.

>>171072398
A third entering the exam with a death forest is still a lot of people to jeopardize pointlessly for political expediency.

>>171072462
>Less than one hundred years before the beginning of the story, shinobi were all separate clans for hire, going to war with their own children in tow, ones that were literally raised on the battlefield
So they're like niggers before coming to the U.S.?

>>171072603
>Then why have the exam at all?
This is why I say you don't understand international politics. It's a semicontrolled setting where you everyone shows off their up and coming military might to build a semblance of trust by being more transparent have hold a mock """war""" in the form of the chuunin exams with relatively minimal death tolls so nobody goes to actual war but they still compete and 'battle' anyway.
It's like how the Greek city states had a period where their 'wars' had death tolls of like 5% or the original intention of the Olympics, a location where you could compete and go to 'war' without actually going to war.

>Why not just kill all the enemy kids in their sleep?
Because that is an act of war.

>Not anymore, and I'm pretty sure we're to assume that the world Naruto takes place in is at least somewhat modern.
Evidently, the existence of the chuunin exams, the gokage, the by-selection appointment of the kage, the existence of the villages as mercenary camps, and so on show that you're fucking stupid because their world ISN'T 'somewhat modern'.

>if not digesting the shit an edgy 13 year old with no critical thinking skills
But you're the one that isn't thinking. You're literally just saying 'because people die it is bad'. I don't care about 'bad' because those are personal values. You said the FoD is "stupid". I'm explaining to you that it serves a purpose and that the existence of the chuunin exams and 'child soldiers' as a whole is perfectly logical in-setting.

>>171072576
>You're coming off as being extremely pro-EU though so I dunno why you'd use it as an insult
Yep, you are definitely pro-EU.

> If a soldier can't pull the trigger when he's needed to, then he's a poor soldier by definition
And 8 year olds don't exactly make the best soldiers.

>>171072697
>Nice moral relativism my man.
Look bitch, without that clause every fucking argument turns into political shitflinging about how this and that is literally hitler or whether X or Y has the moral high ground in discussions between people with different moral values. Bring a logical argument to the table or fuck off.

>>171072917
>Yep, you are definitely pro-EU.
No, I'm anti-EU. That being said though, you're almost certainly pro-EU without knowing it. A "constant bloodbath of stupidity and greed" is exactly what the EU purports to stop.

>>171072809
I don't care what kind of retarded simile you come up with, their morals are logical and consistent within the setting

>>171072806
>Just because it's allowed doesn't mean you MUST do it
But you should, to maximize your chances of victory. That's the argument I'm making. A kid shouldn't have that kind of power in the first place.

>>171072806
>The skills needed for those two tests are completely separate?
Either a) they do actually test the same skills and you're wrong or b) they don't and the skills the Forest tests aren't important enough to be replaced by a second stage that tests the same exact skills

So either way you're wrong.

>>171072806
>Which is why adult Jounin need to make the decision to even allow them to take the exam haha
The entire exam, which brings us back to either a) the Jonin don't know that the Forest is being used and therefore aren't qualified to make the decision because they don't have the necessary information or b) they do know and decide that risking the deaths of their entire squad is fine and dandy.

>>171072917
>And 8 year olds don't exactly make the best soldiers.
The age just keeps dropping.
1. They're 12 or more
2. They should know when they're ready, and if they don't, their CO is there to give the OK.
3. Their age doesn't matter. They're soldiers.

>>171072659
Doesnt really look like a "science" lab

>>171073104
Except they're not, because Naruto lives in happy-go-lucky Konoha, not Mogadishu.

>It's like how the Greek city states had a period where their 'wars' had death tolls of like 5% or the original intention of the Olympics
2000 years ago. And correct me if I'm wrong, they didn't have death matches at the Olympics. That was more the Colosseum's thing.

>>171073108
>But you should, to maximize your chances of victory
No? Simply grabbing the flag / scroll means you've won.

>So either way you're wrong.
If you're using the canon in support of your argument, we're also shown that canonically nobody cares.

>or b) they do know and decide that risking the deaths of their entire squad is fine and dandy.
That's what they do EVERY FUCKING MISSION YOU RETARD

>>171073173
Depends on what your definition of "science" is.

>>171072898
>show that you're fucking stupid because their world ISN'T 'somewhat modern'
Except there's a bunch of other contradictory information that suggests it is. Hence the whole thing being fucky, as I've described.

>'m explaining to you that it serves a purpose and that the existence of the chuunin exams and 'child soldiers' as a whole is perfectly logical in-setting.
And I'm saying it's not because it comes out of nowhere and none of the other stages of the exam are like that.

>>171073191
Did you not read what I just fucking told you? Less than a hundred years ago, ninja brought any kid old enough to hold a kunai to war. Hashirama and Tobirama fucking went on about this. To them, they have advanced a damn great deal. You don't get to say "they haven't advanced enough, they're supposed to be more modern". That's not how it works

>>171073016
I think you might be literally Hitler.

> A "constant bloodbath of stupidity and greed" is exactly what the EU purports to stop
Yeah, and it's a fucking lie because everyone had nukes. But the pre-Naruto period was a constant bloodbath of stupidity and greed - even though everybody had nukes.

>>171073114
They're 8 when they enter the academy, numbnuts. Or possibly younger.

>They should know when they're ready, and if they don't, their CO is there to give the OK.
I explained that they don't.

>Their age doesn't matter
It does, otherwise we'd let kids be soldiers since it doesn't matter. Genin are only soldiers in name. Most of the time they're chasing cats.

>>171073224
>Simply grabbing the flag / scroll means you've won
And killing the enemy team guarantees success because nobody's able to interfere.

>That's what they do EVERY FUCKING MISSION YOU RETARD
I didn't know that catching a cat or delivering mail could get you killed. Those must be some sharp claws then.

>That's not how it works
Yes, it is.

>>171072809
> A third entering the exam with a death forest is still a lot of people to jeopardize pointlessly for political expediency.
But not everyone who enters dies. Not everyone who enters the Exams even MAKES it to the Second Exam. 51 teams (153 shinobi) entered the Exam, and only half of which passed. 26 teams (78 shinobi) took place in the Chuunin Exams, and we clearly see that not everyone who fails dies (we see the team open the scroll and get knocked unconscious, we later see Karin get saved by Sasuke, but she failed), so the number who die are probably usually pretty minor.

>>171073108
> But you should, to maximize your chances of victory.
But Inojin's team had already won by that point?

> A kid shouldn't have that kind of power in the first place.
We're talking about a setting where a 13 year old is canonically as wise as a Kage.

> Either a) they do actually test the same skills and you're wrong or b) they don't and the skills the Forest tests aren't important enough to be replaced by a second stage that tests the same exact skills
Or c) they test different skills at different years so that Genin can't predict what's coming and simply train they skills they KNOW will net them an easy pass.

> a) the Jonin don't know that the Forest is being used and therefore aren't qualified to make the decision because they don't have the necessary information or b) they do know and decide that risking the deaths of their entire squad is fine and dandy.
Or c) they know it's dangerous, because they went though a similar experience and can judge based on the relative difficulty of average Chuunin Exams

>>171073191
>because Naruto lives in happy-go-lucky Konoha
>happy go lucky
Congratz on missing the entire early tone of the story. It's the same even later, actually.

>2000 years ago. And correct me if I'm wrong, they didn't have death matches at the Olympics. That was more the Colosseum's thing.
You forgot to quote me.

>2000 years ago
This literally isn't a fucking argument, are you trying to invoke CURRENT YEAR? It's why ninja do the chuunin exams. Death tolls in modern militaries are far fucking higher actually, because you have people to spare.

>they didn't have death matches at the Olympics
Because the entire point of the Olympics was that they wanted a way to solve things without even the 5%. They didn't go to war for land after all for the most part, it was some sort of retarded prestige shit and a payment of gold so they figured that letting your best show off their martial-related skills, like running, spear throwing, and discus chucking was a good enough substitute. That's not the purpose of the chuunin exams, though.

>>>171073268
>Except there's a bunch of other contradictory information that suggests it is.
There ISN'T, that's the fucking problem and what I've been saying. You have this strange notion that technology = society when it simply isn't the case, especially in a setting with superpowers so that the ruling 'warrior caste' is far fucking stronger relative to the common farmer than even knights were relative to peasants. In such a setting, it's highly concieveable for feudalism / absolutism to persist strongly far past the invention of modern-ish technology.

>>171073501
>so the number who die are probably usually pretty minor
But they're significantly higher compared to the other stages and methods of doing the second stage that we've seen. That makes it the worst, which means for the purposes it's set out to achieve, makes it bad.

>We're talking about a setting where a 13 year old is canonically as wise as a Kage
More like 7, anyway it's fucking stupid, like I said. Thanks for agreeing.

> they know it's dangerous, because they went though a similar experience and can judge based on the relative difficulty of average Chuunin Exams
But how can they do that if they change things every year? I mean, if they don't even test the same skills, and those skills are important enough to make the forest a viable testing method in the first place, then what's the fucking point?

>>171073224
> No? Simply grabbing the flag / scroll means you've won.
Not really with the scroll - you needed to get it to the centre. But yeah with the flag, it was odd that you didn't really need to return it to your own home base like almost every other CtF game in existence.

>>171073398
> I think you might be literally Hitler.
Wanna know how I know you're a Liberal?

> I didn't know that catching a cat or delivering mail could get you killed. Those must be some sharp claws then.
Team Konohamaru was literally tasked with fighting a wild bear. Team 7 was literally told "Escort this guy, oh and also bandits are probably going to attack you". Even without Zabuza, it was more than likely that there could've been a full party kill (Kakashi excepted).

> And killing the enemy team guarantees success because nobody's able to interfere.
Buuuuuuuuut you could just subdue them EXACTLY like Inojin did and get the exact same effect?

>>171073398
>I think you might be literally Hitler.
Whatever.

>Yeah, and it's a fucking lie because everyone had nukes.
They haven't gone to internal war since haha! Boruto period is objectively in a similar state to the EU / effective UN, face it. You're a borutofag, I'm not. If anyone is pro-EU, it isn't me.

>But the pre-Naruto period was a constant bloodbath of stupidity and greed - even though everybody had nukes.
...yes and? The pre-Naruto period honestly resembled feudal Japan, or perhaps 1600-1800s Europe.

>They're 8 when they enter the academy, numbnuts

>I explained that they don't.
That's THEIR PROBLEM. If a baker 'didn't know' that lighting the oven when there's powdered flour in the air causes a dust explosion and this kill him, that isn't anyone's problem but his own. They have the Jounin to OK it anyway.

>Genin are only soldiers in name. Most of the time they're chasing cats.
Most of the time there's no pressing need for them so you use chuunin and jounin, but if they're needed they WILL be used.

>>171073485
>And killing the enemy team guarantees success because nobody's able to interfere.
Correct, but so does disabling someone.

>I didn't know that catching a cat or delivering mail could get you killed
>le E-rank mission are the only missions meme
Kill yourself, those are like the first or second missions genin do.

>Yes, it is.
Who the fuck are you quoting?

>>171073536
>Congratz on missing the entire early tone of the story
I never liked the whole child soldier thing early on, desu. At least it becomes less of a problem later because they're 16, and nobody cares if teenagers die.

>Because the entire point of the Olympics was that they wanted a way to solve things without even the 5%
Annnd I just beat you. Either the nardoverse is more barbaric than ancient Greece 2000 year ago, or you used a poor example to illustrate your point.

>That's not the purpose of the chuunin exams, though
It is now, though. It's basically a ninja Olympics, doping included.

>>171073730
Shoulda ran, chumps.

>>171073678
> But they're significantly higher compared to the other stages
It's clear that Jounin CAN interfere with the Forest if they need to, since they're monitoring every thing, and the Jounin in the Preliminaries clearly didn't have an issue with Neji sending Hinata into cardiac arrest.

> More like 7, anyway it's fucking stupid, like I said. Thanks for agreeing.
I didn't agree. Itachi is stated to being as wise as a Kage at age 13. Whether it's stupid or not doesn't matter. It's fucking canon. Itachi WAS that smart. Kakashi WAS good enough to be a Jounin at age 14 or whatever. Stupidity has nothing to do with it, it's canon.

> But how can they do that if they change things every year?
Holy shit you don't even fucking read, do you?
> HEY I TOOK THIS TEST
> HEY I'VE SEEN OTHER TESTS
> EVEN IF THEY DON'T USE THE EXACT SAME FUCKING TEST, I CAN APPROXIMATE HOW DANGEROUS IT CAN BE

It's not fucking rocket science.

>>171073747
>Wanna know how I know you're a Liberal?
Wanna know how I know you have no self-awareness?

>I'm not
Clearly, you like the Forest of Death. Boruto is doing the whole ninja kid thing much, much better.

> those are like the first or second missions genin do
And most of the missions they do, you butthurt manchild.

>>171073792
>I never liked the whole child soldier thing early on
Then fuck off away from the series, because you are the one making all these problems for yourself. "The whole child soldier thing" is a fucking huge part of the setting, and it's what drives both Madara and Hashirama to change the world in the first place. What you don't seem to get is that it was EVEN WORSE BEFORE. They are in fact in the middle of making progress in the series proper

>>171073792
>I never liked the whole child soldier thing early on, desu
Nobody cares if you LIKE it, the fact that it exists is actually shown to make some modicum of logical sense from an in-setting point of view, and not only because it's a holdover from a very recent shithole era when kids did go to war.

>Annnd I just beat you.
Jesus fucking christ
I chose the Olympics because it illustrated the point of miniaturizing and controlling conflicts that existed for pride and money. The lack or presence of death is irrelevant, because the chuunin exams miniaturized conflicts that existed for more than pride and money, barely at all.


>Either the nardoverse is more barbaric than ancient Greece 2000 year ago,
Are you trying to say this ISN'T the fucking case? Did you actually read the manga? The place in Madara's era only a hundred years ago made Zimbabwe look like a joke.
Also, stop fucking invoking the current year argument, I never thought I'd see it used unironically.

>It is now, though
And "now" isn't the same as when the FoD existed, politically or otherwise, so what's your point?

>>171073971
Your entire argument is based on morality, how are you not a liberal? This is beyond retarded.

>>171073971
> Clearly, you like the Forest of Death
> thanks for agreeing with me
> i'm not
> HAHA PSYCHE YOU'RE NOT AGREEING WITH ME
What the fuck?

I'm going to say that you're Pinkshitfag. You're not really making any solid arguments and have simply said things like 'You're wrong' and 'Try again', which are pretty standard.

>>171073946
>It's clear that Jounin CAN interfere with the Forest if they need to
But they never do so it's a moot point.

>and the Jounin in the Preliminaries clearly didn't have an issue with Neji sending Hinata into cardiac arrest
I mean, it's not like they can tell. They knew when he was about to kill her, though, and intervened.

>Itachi is stated to being as wise as a Kage at age 13
Check again, he's clearly younger.
>It's fucking canon
So is the Forest, doesn't mean it isn't dumb. You are helping to prove my point.

> I CAN THEN MENTALLY COMPARE MY TEAM'S ABILITIES WITH THE APPROXIMATE DANGER OF THE EXAM
Well, clearly not, because they let them do the Forest when Kakashi's 2nd test was just a team fight in a cage in front of the forest.

>>171073984
It's still dumb though, and one of the few things I liked about Shippuden.

>The lack or presence of death is irrelevant, because the chuunin exams miniaturized conflicts that existed for more than pride
It's a dick-measuring contests between villages and lets them size up the competition. Hell, had the manga said the purpose of the Chuunin Exams was to thin your opponent's ranks by killing all their kids, I would absolutely agree that the Forest is a good method to do so.

But they didn't.

>Your entire argument is based on morality
And yours is based on stupidity. If I had to guess political affiliation, I'd say you're a communist, considering how much you approve of killing your own countrymen.

>>171074173
Wait, so the navel-exposing purple long-sleeve is a uniform? I thought Karin was just a slut.

>>171074110
> But they never do so it's a moot point.
Reminder that a 'moot point' is, by definition, a topic that is open for debate, or subject to dispute.

> I mean, it's not like they can tell.
They could tell early on that she was going to end up in that situation. Because she was coughing up blood and Neji wasn't, and coughing up blood indicates severe lung and/or stomach trauma.

> Check again, he's clearly younger.
> So is the Forest, doesn't mean it isn't dumb. You are helping to prove my point.
Well there you go, it's age seven. I'm not helping you prove anything, though? Itachi was shown to be a prodigy from the get-go.

> Well, clearly not, because they let them do the Forest when Kakashi's 2nd test was just a team fight in a cage in front of the forest.
Please reread the part where I said > HEY I'VE SEEN OTHER TESTS

>>171074302
WHAT YOU LIKE DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER

IT'S NOT DUMB JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE IT

It makes logical and consistent sense within the setting, and "It's still dumb though" is not a fucking argument otherwise

>>171074086
An argument is comprised of several premises that all support an ultimate conclusion. You're inadvertently agreeing with some of my premises while rejecting my overall conclusion. It's not hard to understand.

>>171074462
What premises do you think I'm agreeing with, exactly?

>>171074407
Discussing the definition of a moot point is in itself a moot point.

>Hell, had the manga said the purpose of the Chuunin Exams was to thin your opponent's ranks by killing all their kids, I would absolutely agree that the Forest is a good method to do so.
The manga said that it was a dick measuring contest and implied that killing your opponents was an open secret amongst the leaders. Learn to read subtext.

>stupidity
Logical arguments suported by canonical facts and historical analogues is stupidity, while feelgood is sound reasoning. And you accuse others of being liberal. Incredible.

>If I had to guess political affiliation
Are you turkroach or some shit? Can you make posts without dragging random /pol/ shit into the argument?

>>171074430
>It makes logical and consistent sense within the setting
Yeah, but there were other, better ways to do it. So it's still kinda-dumb.

There, are you happy? Can we settle with kinda-dumb?

Good counter. I don't believe you.

>Learn to read subtext
There was no subtext, that's some "underneath the underneath" NScuck bullshit you're trying to pull.

The Chuunin Exams were always somewhat poorly defined and didn't make much sense. Why were some methods of cheating noticed and not others, like Gaara's fucking floating sand eye or Tenten manipulating a ceiling mirror with strings on her fingers?

>>171074863
>There was no subtext
>except when there literally was and it was all but explicitly stated

>NScuck
Literally what the fuck? How is this even relevant?

>Why were some methods of cheating noticed and not others, like Gaara's fucking floating sand eye or Tenten manipulating a ceiling mirror with strings on her fingers?
Because the point of that phase was "permissible error". Do you seriously think Sharingan and Byakugan would pass unnoticed by an INTEL OFFICER?

>>171074851
Uh, I did link correctly, dummy.

>>171074760
Now list the other definitions.

I bought 4 and the season pass, Road to Boruto isn't included in that, right?

Is Road to Boruto even worth purchasing if I already played 4?

> holy shit that kids eyes are suddenly bright red
> i'm sure it's nothing

> nah nah nah, it's- HEY YOU. YEAH YOU. KID DOING LITERALLY NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. FUCK YOU, YOU'REOUTTAHERE

>>171074941
It's not and it isn't until the price drops

>>171074932
>Because the point of that phase was "permissible error"
You didn't answer my question. Why were some methods of cheating noticed and not others, when the methods that weren't noticed should be more noticeable than the methods that were?

You know what? I take it back. The whole Chuunin Exams arc is fucking dumb. It's my least favorite now.

>>171074937
No you fucking didn't since
>It makes logical and consistent sense within the setting
and
>What premises do you think I'm agreeing with, exactly?
Came from two different posts

> Now list the other definitions.
Why would I list out of context definitions? I mean, the second one is "having little or no practical relevance", but how is the fact that Jounin can enter the Forest of Death not practically relevant?

>>171075062
Oh, okay.

I don't care.

>having little or no practical relevance
Because that's the one I used. Because it's not practically relevant to the discussion, because they never do it, even arguably when they should.

>>171075160
> I don't care
Now that you got proved wrong, you don't care. Colour me fucking surprised. You cared when you thought you had did it correctly.

> Because it's not practically relevant to the discussion, because they never do it, even arguably when they should.
The fact that they didn't do it was absolutely relevant. If it was something they considered a problem, they would've intervened. The Forest of Death is specifically designed to cull numbers so that the Third Exam is small. Just because something doesn't happen doesn't make it irrelevant

>>171075042
>You didn't answer my question. Why were some methods of cheating noticed and not others, when the methods that weren't noticed should be more noticeable than the methods that were?
We are literally never told what methods of cheating the people who got kicked outwere using, for all we know they could be passing notes.

>>171075272
Yeah, because I thought I did. But since the error I made really doesn't matter, I don't. Because it's trivial.

>If it was something they considered a problem, they would've intervened
If killing is allowed and cheating knocks you out, why would they possibly intervene?

>>171075340
>for all we know they could be passing notes
You mean like how Hinata did for Naruto? Well, attempted to do.

Anyway, if passing notes is forbidden, but mirror manipulation, Sharingan, and floating eyeball made of sand aren't, then I'm sorry to say this exam is fucking retarded. All those holes in Ibuki's head must be affecting his brain.

God damn, those tits mane

>>171075341
> Yeah, because I thought I did. But since the error I made really doesn't matter, I don't. Because it's trivial.
> when I did something right it's not trivial, but it is when it's wrong
ok

> If killing is allowed and cheating knocks you out, why would they possibly intervene?
To avoid things like torture, or a forest fire, or any other number of possible scenarios that can occur when you put six dozen children that can use space magic into a confined space for five days straight?

>>171075340
The guy who claims one of the participants are cheating literally has bandages covering both of his eyes.

>>171075481
When I do something right and someone tells me it's wrong, I'll argument that it's important. But if it's actually wrong, but not important, I'll say it's not important.

>To avoid things like torture, or a forest fire
I'd bet you money those things are allowed.

It looks like she's yelling at her own tits.

I'd have to say I'm happy that Boruto plans to start out lighthearted and happy with the kids going on fun ninja adventures, then get progressively darker and more serious as they get older.

You know, like real life.

I can only imagine how many doujins this image caused. Pretty sure I fapped to most of them.

> I bet you money those things are allowed
Why would they allow torture if a team already captured the scroll off an enemy team? Within the context of the Exam, it serves no purpose. Why would they allow a wildfire to burn out of control, completely removing the 'Forest' from the Forest of Death and possibly killing 100% of the applicants?

>>171076437
>Why would they allow torture if a team already captured the scroll off an enemy team?
You didn't specify. I thought you meant torture to obtain information on the location of a scroll, which is the only real reason you'd use torture unless you're a sadistic fuck.

>Why would they allow a wildfire to burn out of control
Because the team who started it could collect scrolls in the chaos and confusion. Also, they allow fireballs to be thrown around (thanks, Sasuke) and you'd think a few of those and the whole place would go up like a tinderbox. Not to mention all of the paper bombs and shit.

>>171076690
Orochimaru is basically motorboating her

>>171075481
>or any other number of possible scenarios that can occur when you put six dozen children that can use space magic into a confined space for five days straight?
I'm pretty sure they allow sex, so long as they can record it.

>>171076579
> You didn't specify.
I thought it was implied. My bad.

> I thought you meant torture to obtain information on the location of a scroll, which is the only real reason you'd use torture unless you're a sadistic fuck.
It's shown that several shinobi clearly are just that fucked in the head

> Because the team who started it could collect scrolls in the chaos and confusion.
And then die? Or burn down the tower? Or remove the Forest itself?

> Also, they allow fireballs to be thrown around (thanks, Sasuke) and you'd think a few of those and the whole place would go up like a tinderbox. Not to mention all of the paper bombs and shit.
You'd need something more than Sasuke-tier fireballs, but it wouldn't be hard.

>>171076690
Naruto should have wore his jacket open more often. Looks quite nice i think.

>>171076818
Anko probably makes a killer side business from it.

Do...do you think she also takes part if the Genin are hot enough?
'Heh, two male teams? Come on then, I'll take you all on at once and show you the power of a Konoha Jounin!'

>>171077074
>And then die? Or burn down the tower? Or remove the Forest itself?
Hey man, don't expect kids to think that far ahead.

>>171077081
The open-jacket look is always more appealing. At least his son knows how to be /fa/

>>171077163
I wouldn't rule it out.

>>171077165
Yeah he would have looked way better, i mean still pretty silly being a ninja with a bright orange color scheme but it'd be just a bit less silly being able to see his shirt and not just running in what looks like a one-piece jump suit.

>>171077165
> Hey man, don't expect kids to think that far ahead.
No, but I'd expect the Jounin overseeing the Exams to.

New doujin where Anko thins the herd in the Second Exam by literally fucking all-male teams to exhaustion?

I remember thinking the show was going to end up with them all dealing with the death of their comrades on realistic missions involving infiltration and espionage and the like. Them being trained early to deal with death made sense when it seemed like the show was going in a direction that could be taken a bit more seriously. So looking back after how goofy it got, it does make it have an awkward contrast.

>>171077861
I can agree.

>>171077431
I'd also like to see a doujin of the boys spiking her dango and gang raping her but we can't all get what we want.

>>171078424
Can't gang rape someone that gang wants it and gang outlasts them.

What other missions could Team 7 have had after the Wave arc? Would it have really given the team the development they needed?

>>171089627
For a second I thought you said smelly.

What do you think Hinata smells like after a long mission, haha. Especially since she probably has to sleep near Akamaru, haha.
