[it's 2020 and I'm shitposting about naruto]
Quinn Angstrom
so, as has been discussed at length
Quinn Angstrom
in the boruto's son setting
Quinn Angstrom
hard work is basically completely meaningless and everything comes down to birthrights and bloodlines and inherent natural gifts
Quinn Angstrom
with Naruto repeatedly winning because he's a reincarnation of a god and has another god inside him who's also the son of the coolest ninja in history and another god vessel
Quinn Angstrom
if you're born with superior ninja dna, you can wage and win wars by yourself and will be stronger and better than everyone else for the rest of your life no matter what
Quinn Angstrom
if you aren't, you're cannon fodder who will be useless from birth to death and at best can stand around talking about how strong other cooler ninjas are
Quinn Angstrom
so I guess what I'm saying is
Quinn Angstrom
Sakura spending the whole series trying to get Sasuke's dick was really good tactical planning
EsperBot
I suppose so
GAY TENNA?
honestly yeah
Quinn Angstrom
she knew that she was born a side character
Quinn Angstrom
the only way to ensure a happy future for her children would be to give them god reincarnation super genes
Wild Child
i was wondering where this was going and was not disappointed
MundersOWundus
goddamn it
Usagi
i'm so glad i opened this
Quinn Angstrom
the main thing I think about when I think about the nonsense that is Naruto's setting is the Rinnegan
Quinn Angstrom
has history ever produced a more stupid, absurd special power than the rinnegan
Quinn Angstrom
if you have this specific magic eyeball, you can:
Quinn Angstrom
- See chakra and chakra points (Negi's entire powerset)
Quinn Angstrom
- See things that are invisible
Quinn Angstrom
- Learn any technique instantly
Quinn Angstrom
- Use all five ninja elements
Quinn Angstrom
- Read indecipherable languages
Quinn Angstrom
- Control gravity
Quinn Angstrom
- Extract human souls
Quinn Angstrom
- Absorb chakra from all attacks used against you
Quinn Angstrom
- Summon kaiju
Quinn Angstrom
- Raise the dead
Quinn Angstrom
- Create indestructible chakra receivers
Quinn Angstrom
- Summon god's corpse
Quinn Angstrom
- seal gods
Quinn Angstrom
- Teleport
Princess Emily
sounds like somebody's middle school OC
Quinn Angstrom
- Create corporeal shadows
Quinn Angstrom
- Absorb and redirect attacks while also making them stronger
Quinn Angstrom
- Turn people into snacks
Quinn Angstrom
that's what the rinnegan can do
Quinn Angstrom
also it's always on, for free
Quinn Angstrom
downside: none
Quinn Angstrom
oh no that's not true it can drive you crazy if you're not strong enough to use it
Quinn Angstrom
but the only way to fix that is to be born stronger

The Rinnegan is hilarious. Like, the Sharingan got a bit bloated but the Rinnegan just has no defined power set.
Quinn Angstrom
Naruto is a story about how hard work can triumph over natural talent
Quinn Angstrom
the main character is a hybrid god-king and vessel for another god, trained by a host of gods and kings
Princess Emily
also the reincarnation of something something I didn't actually read the end of naruto
Quinn Angstrom
he's literally the reincarnation of the son of god
Quinn Angstrom
Naruto is the second coming of christ
Beans
but y'know, he's the underdog you gotta cheer for
Quinn Angstrom
when Negi fights Naruto, he insults Naruto's ideals by saying that only people born with gifts can become Hokage
Quinn Angstrom
Naruto proves him wrong by using the god chained to his soul to overload his chakra points and continue fighting long enough that Negi gets real tired and Naruto beats him with one lucky punch
Quinn Angstrom
I just realized I said boruto's son instead of boruto's dad
Quinn Angstrom
boruto's son, naruto
Quinn Angstrom
Naruto is an insufferable jackass because everyone ignored him as a child so he had to act out to get attention
Quinn Angstrom
Boruto is an insufferable jackass because it's genetic I guess
tutorials georg
Boruto's dad's son
Quinn Angstrom
I mean Naruto is absolutely a terrible dad
Quinn Angstrom
basically the only thing I know about him in Boruto is that he sends shadow clones to his daughter's birthday parties
Princess Emily
I mean Salad is the only kid that's not a direct clone of a parent, so
Quinn Angstrom
is she not hinata
EsperBot
Salad is Sakura’s daughter
Quinn Angstrom
oh I'm thinking of himawari
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
remember when the byakugan was stated to be even better and cooler than the sharingan
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
and then
Usagi
and then
