(If we ever have a de-aging event in , expect a sulky tenten over the whole "You're literally 12, you aren't an adult" thing. At least she won't be obnoxious about it, though. God, I hate that kind of character, ahaha.)
Dude wants to graduate, so a teacher backstabs him and has him steal a secret scroll. so dangerous that multiple teenagers in the series end up mastering it without an issue.
It's not that ninjas are more durable than normal people, it's that they can take more and remain functional. Dude gets stabbed multiple times, including with that stupidly huge ninja star, and he can still operate.
And the fact is, chakra's an alien energy in Naruto, and genjutsu works by manipulating the chakra flows in people's brains. Folks outside it don't have it.
Tenten's a chunin! And yet she's been on rank A missions and even a single rank S mission, which is on the scale of, like. Assassinating a nation's leader.
I've been writing Naruto fic lately and my favorite thing to hurt people with is that the end of the warring clans era/founding of Konoha was in their 20th century equivalent.
I'm looking more at, like. Liquid batteries and them not having cars or trains (until Boruto anyway) but already having miniature wireless radios and computers.
Well, we don't really know about cars or trains but that they have the tech, but a good chunk in that case is probably besides roads and rail being expensive and easy to destroy is probably due to the fact that giant animals the size of buildings are normal along with the repeat war situation. 🤔
i always thought of the tech disparity as like. different kinds of things are gonna be at different levels of advancement based on what is needed by this particular setting
i remember reading about something similar in evangelion way back in the day, it might have been a lil author's note in the manga or smth idk, talking about how they imagined the tech levels to be kinda wonky because the focus went towards defense and shit to make a semi-post-apocalyptic world habitable while things for entertainment didn't advance as much
so the word translated as "village" in the full name of konoha, the "sato" of konohagakure no sato, does mean "village", but by the definitions set forth when that term was clarified after the meiji restoration a "village" is either only 2 and a half miles wide or numbering 50 houses
so dangerous that multiple teenagers in the series end up mastering it without an issue.
his head looks like a duck's butt
I wish we knew more about the Shinobi Code, but that's just my desire for more worldbuilding.
lee over there mean mugging like he's not the softest guy of the bunch
introducing the pig with more screentime than tenten, tonton.
