Hey everyone! So yesterdays video got flagged for no reason what so ever which makes it so I can’t earn money from it! So we made a couple of changes and re uploaded, sorry for the confusion

The biggest plot hole in Naruto is how Tenten got those mirrors on the ceiling to cheat during the chunin exam without the proctors noticing.

[@maalikserebryakov]

[@redbool1115]

They probably only negated points from people who used zero intelligence or ninjutsu/genjutsu to cheat. Basically the ol fashion way we mortals cheat

[@tempo634]

The point was to be clever with your Ninjustu/ Kekkei Genkei to cheat. That's why when you see others just straight up look over to cheat they get a point taken even if it was more subtle than TenTens mirrors on the ceilinf

Hiruzen not taking care of Naruto like his own child is the biggest and most glaring plothole that Kishimoto retroactively created by going down the "muh protagonist is related to the most awesomest characters" trope.

[@p2Mallassa]

The anime kinda explains that by showing hiruzen as a bad father and a not so involved grandfather

[@madster01]

I still don’t get why Hiruzen didn’t make it official that Naruto is 4th’s son

[@Kaiser_MHA]

@@madster01It was stated that it was to protect Naruto from being targeted as the son of a Hokage on top of being a Jinchuriki, which already makes him a target. Naruto being a Jinchuriki was actually ordered to be kept secret in the village. If Naruto being Minato’s son was made public knowledge, enemies of the village would easily be able to figure out who the Nine Tails had been sealed inside I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

A plot hole you missed was obito placing a perfect jinchuuriki under genjutsu for years with base sharingan. They say its impossible for perfect jinchuuriki to be under genjutsu because of the partner method. Even more, if obito's genjutsu was that good why not use it on naruto and killer bee instead of spending like 100 episodes fighting them.

[@Glitches_Aint_Shit]

@@user-fs3rp3qv8e they're talking about Yagura, the fourth mizukage.

[@Kaiser_MHA]

I wouldn’t jump straight to calling it a plot hole for a couple reasons: • ‘Base Sharingan’ is not true. Obito has MS, but the series always shows it as base Sharingan until the fight just before he’s unmasked. They had to do that to avoid revealing that he had Obito’s eye before the intended moment. So nah, Obito has MS. • Yagura is indeed a perfect Jinchuriki who has full control over his Tailed Beast, but having control isn’t what prevents Genjutsu. We see that Perfect Jinchuriki CAN be placed under Genjutsu but the Tailed Beast can then snap them out of it. A simple explanation is that Yagura (who we know was a cruel leader before he was even under Obito’s control) simply didn’t have a good relationship with Isobu, therefore Isobu didn’t help him break free. So I don’t think we can say it’s a plot hole, since there is a valid explanation. The only times we’ve seen a Perfect Jinchuriki breaking out of genjutsu is when their friendly Tailed Beast actively chooses to help them. Yagura was most likely not on good terms with Isobu so Isobu chose not to.

Why no one in the village ever figured out who Naruto was is always going to be infuriating to me. The fact that common sense could tell who Naruto's parents were and somehow the village never figured it out. Did the villagers have tunnel vision or something?

@@Axel-ye8tt Even still, Uzumaki is a pretty unique name. There was only one person in the entire Village with that name, and she just so happened to be married to the Fouth Hokage.

Even if Kushina was a nobody, people would still remember her as the being Hokage's wife.

​@@NinjaCman1Well considering that Kushina and Minato died on the day the nine tails attacked, someone could just spread the news that the Hokage's child dies along with them and Naruto could just be said to be another unknown Uzumaki who happens to have blond hair.

I definitely agree with the Danzo one being a plothole. Not only would Danzo have been the most obvious choice even without use of hypnosis, he should have been a much better-seeming choice than Tsunade.

[@OctoAri]

The Kurama helping Naruto one never felt like too big of a plothole to me. We find out that only 1/2 the Kyuubi was sealed in Naruto, with the other half being sealed in Minato with the Reaper Death Seal. It’s possible imo that Kurama wasn’t entirely certain if he would reform if Naruto died because no other tailed beast had ever been split in half like he had. Hence deciding that his best bet was the slow & steady method of “full possession + manifestation”

[@furiousgamerxz5141]

Yeah but the whole split into Yin and Yang thing was so dumb and didn't make sense

[@Ruffy611]

also using Naruto as vessel would help him being hidden because he surely knew people were after him and until he was ready to come out it was better to help naruto to survive instead of trying to escape from the moment he could, also you can see kind of a sympathie from early on because if how Naruto was treated

[@atharvabhosale3529]

Yesss exactly

[@christianpalomino9968]

Not sure if this is a plothole, but the fact that Neji was told he was completely wrong about life being fated by naruto and how your circumstances at birth dont matter, hard work prevails, etc. , only for us to find out Naruto inherited the genes of a clan with one of the craziest Chakra reserves, has the strongest tailed beast sealed inside him by his hokage father upon birth, and is the reincarnation of A. LITERAL. DEMIGOD. Edit: I just learned what a retcon is lol

[@creamsodaluvr]

Then Neji died for the Hyuuga clan…

[@ItApproaches]

It was showing that people love to bullshit themselves into thinkin there's no such thing as Fate, when their is lol. Fight as hard as you want, try to outsmart Fate all you want, plan something out as much as you want, shit is always going to go, EXACTLY as it was always going to. Whether you like it or not.

[@TheCrackerSeal]

Naruto defied his fate and proved Neji wrong. All incarnations of Asura are fated to battle Indra for all eternity. Naruto ended that cycle.

[@ItApproaches]

@@TheCrackerSeal No, the cycle ended because Zetsu's plan reached it's end....lol, his plan wasn't meant to go on forever, if Kaguya's return wasn't till two reincarnations after Naruto, you would say that person broke the cycle. Everything ends eventually, Naruto was destined to be the one who got to end the eon's long plan of Zetsu lol. Even prophecies are bound by Fate.

[@TheCrackerSeal]

@@ItApproaches That is literal head canon. Just because Zetsu triggered the cycle does not mean his plans conclusion also ends it. It could have very easily gone had Naruto not been the one to end it.

[@alexanderlowton4552]

At least with Itachi not curing his illness I would theorize he wanted to die after the massacre and in his depression contracting an illness that would slowly and painfully so going through with finding a cure for his disease is something Itachi saw as undeserved on the likes of him for his deeds.

[@dexter123423]

That’s pretty much exactly what I was thinking too! Just keeping himself alive long enough for Saskue to take him out.

[@bronsjefjer]

That makes far to much sense.

[@DannyKim101]

I thought it was pretty clear why Itachi didn't cure his illness. His whole plan was essentially to have Sasuke kill him, take his eyes to fain eternal Mangekyou, and return to the village. He took medicine (eyedrops) just enough to live long enough/to fight sasuke but just weak enough to give Sasuke a fair fight perhaps also as a way of atonement for what he did to his clan as well as Sasuke himself.

[@rayan3754]

This is exactly why I really wanted to see how itachi dealt with the consequences of the massacre on himself , similiar how we saw kakashi crying after he killed rinn and kept washing his hand at the sink

[@maxiarg7412]

Problem is that we never shown Itachi really struggle with what he did or something like that because he just being in such a pit of self loathing he never reached for help beyond what was needed to keep himself alive would make sense taking into account he is the one who killed every adult in his clan and did nothing to stop the death of the children. Like it makes a lot of sense but also its never even implied, like kisame respected Itachi enough to probably say at least "hey you should get that checked" and man just getting ignored or something but i did not read any of the novels so maybe there is something else there?

[@PeterGriffin11]

From what I've seen of Naruto in the earlier episodes when he still couldn't control the Nine Tailed Fox whenever he would get really angry he would start turning into the Nine Tailed Fox. If the people in the hidden leaf village knew that if Naruto got too angry the Nine Tailed Fox would start to emerge you'd think they try to treat him a little better. I'm not sure if that would count as a plot hole.

[@SparerYahya]

Nah not a plot holes, just Stupidity from the Villagers

[@christianmcmillan6075]

In defense of #8 Madaras insane Rube Goldberg revival plan, he seemingly lived in isolation for over 50 years after his fight with Madara. With his later years being completely alone in dank & dark cave with black and white Zetsu as roommates. You’d probably start having some weird ideas too lol

[@zedoniusrulerofflame4675]

Yeah, fighting yourself does sometimes end that way.

[@briamartin4475]

Still want to address the plot hole that Obito didn't need to declare the 4th Ninja war, he could've used the Zetsu's to transform into ninja from other villages , since it was said that their transformation was perfect, even down to replicating the same chakra as the person they transformed into. With that, the Zetsu clones would then attack other ninja villages and have all the villages declare war on each other. Then in the confusion Obito could then capture Naruto and Bee.

[@MintyCoffee]

To do that they had to actually get some of the chakra of the person they wanted to transform into, though. That's how they used this same tactic during night 1 of the war (And on day 1 you can see a white zetsu trapping and siphoning chakra from Neji, who is then the most important person impersonated in the night-raid of the medical ninja area)

Their genetic material was collected before they died. Kabuto was using Orochimaru’s materials to create the reanimations. The same Orochimaru who tried to take Itachi’s sharingan and failed. Stealing genetic material in comparison would be relatively easy.

If you could get genetic material before death, then why not also re-animate jiriya....?

[@megasean3000]

Why didn’t Madara use the Six Paths Jutsu to make six puppets for himself to enact his plan? If he really was “Madara”, wouldn’t Chakra range be laughable to him?

Not only did Naruto fail the graduation exam multiple times, meaning that he had the opportunity to take it. An opportunity that I'm certain, if a student could request a graduation exam when self considered ready, Sasku would have requested one years before. Plus, Naruto was in the same class, same students that he graduated with, from the beginning.

[@jaybronx98]

You can’t prove that😂 only flashbacks we see are him in his konoha 11 class and most of those flashbacks were filler anyway. It’s very reasonable to assume he entered the academy earlier.

[@trorisk]

I came across the other kids' graduation years. Itachi without sharingan 7 years old. Izumi (with sharingan)11years old. Obito and Rin 9 years old. Kakashi 5 years old... The golden generation and Neiji "the Hyuga genius" all 12 yo... It's incomprehensible that Sasuke, with his desire for revenge, didn't choose to take the exam earlier around 9-10 years old when he was already quite talented.

[@Icezoot]

One thing that has always bothered me is that Edo Tensei is supposed to grant ‘infinite chakra’, and yet Tobirama complained that he was only able to make two shadow clones (shouldn’t you be able to make infinite?), and claimed that he couldn’t teleport to Naruto and free him from Madara’s woodstyle because he was “out of chakra” 🤨 Edit: Sorry, it was Edo Tensei Minato who said he was out of chakra because his last flying hirashin drained him of his last reserves. How do you run out of infinite chakra?

[@KartonRealista2]

I always imagined it to be a pool of chakra that refills itself all the time, but you can't just use infinitely much chakra in one go. Otherwise you could just win by using the simplest jutsu infinitely many times, and that would be stupid.

[@Icezoot]

@@KartonRealista2 That’s true. But then kishimoto really a shouldn’t have called it “infinite chakra”, since if you can run out, it is by definition not infinite. He should’ve called it enhanced chakra recovery or something. I guess that doesn’t sound as cool.

[@BlueBoboDoo100]

I think it depends how you define "infinite." I'm not sure what word is used in the original Japanese. You can think of it like this: edo tensei also grants you infinite limbs. Not all at once, but if your arm gets destroyed, it will re-grow infinitely. There's no reason to believe Chakra acts any differently. It regenerates once it's gone.

[@Icezoot]

@@BlueBoboDoo100 That’s how chakra normally works though. When it’s used and the reserves are no longer full, it recovers over time. Albeit the speed differs between people. By that logic, couldn’t just normal chakra regeneration be said to be “infinite” too? That, and limbs don’t normally regenerate. But as edo tensei they do. So the comparison isn’t quite the same.

[@RiderofGary]

@@Icezoot yeah i think infinite chakra is a bit of a weird thing since he did run out, i imagine its as was posted a limited pool, but their chakra regeneration might just be buffed, so whereas normally if someone is out of chakra they need to eat drink and get some rest, Edo Tensei's just need to wait a little bit

[@quanqued]

I still think Naruto should have been secretly adopted by the Yamanaka clan instead of made an orphan. I don't think having one more blond kid in their clan would have stood out and they're literally the best choice for finding out what's going on in Naruto's head with Kurama.

[@ivello]

This is a very cool idea! But i think it could work out in world and also have some fun narrative potential if he was "adopted" by Jiraiya, since most likely he actually does have some kids around with all his activities.

It always bothered me how all these powerful ninjas were friends with Naruto's dad but still let him be neglected as an orphan. I think that's one of the biggest plot holes in this show.

[@jhesterrayfaco7921]

It's probably due to the political check and balances in the shinobi council. Simply put, this is better explained as: "if Danzo can't get the weapon, then no one can."

[@Vince_lac]

The actual biggest plot hole in Naruto is the hashirama cells being used to create white zestu, (we even see a white hashirama coming out of the wall when obito explains the white zetsu) only to be explained that the white zetsu and black zetsu is kagaras creation. Even though Naruto’s chakra used to respond to white zetsu to creat trees because there hashirama cells, we literally see evidence that there hashirama cell, yet later they scrap that entire plot point just to say there kaguyas creations. The same with black zetsu when we literally see madara create him with our own eyes but gets explained a way as kaguyas creation. And if they weren’t hashirama cell, then madara shouldn’t have gained the renigan because that was what was used to create white zetsu as well as give madara the renigan

[@Jed.Blazer]

I always assumed the reason Itachi never did anything about his illness was because keeping it made it more believable that Sasuke could beat him, which is what he ultimately wanted. I'm sure I remember someone saying he had to go all out in that fight so being full strength he probably would've won. Just more convenient to keep the illness to improve Sasukes chances.

No, from what i've seen, itachi did not even have the intention to fight properly. From the very start, i think itachi already plotted his death to be killed by sasuke, no matter sasuke strenght, so even if sasuke still weak, the moment they properly fight, itachi just act and let sasuke kill him.

[@Jed.Blazer]

The amount of plot armour that sasuke had especially against deidara always tilted me like really hard, everything was convenient for sasuke in that fight

[@cheese9466]

What NCH said is correct tho. Deidara made the false assumption he was out of chakra because he deactivated the sharingan and thought it was a forced deactivation and thats kinda how the anime presented it. In the manga deidara says that he still has chakra left but willingly deactivates the sharingan because sasuke isnt taking him seriously and already decleared the fight to be over which pissed him off even more

Obito staying out of the hidden leaf because of “jiraiya” is hilarious

[@imthebestmayne122]

To be honest, the Akatsuki's plan was terrible at rip. Two man teams? Bro. One member literally crippled the leaf. Imagine if every time the Akatsuki wanted to capture a Jinchuriki they literally all went. No village stands a chance against every single akatsuki member at once. Now perhaps this would have forced some sort of allied Shinobi Forces way earlier in the series, or a different plan from Itachi. But to be honest, when they started losing members to literally only the leaf, it's pretty obvious that they needed some more manpower for some of these operations.

[@awesomedude10121]

I'd like to add onto the Leaf Academy Graduation one. How did Rock Lee ever pass? Naruto says he failed three times because he couldn't perform the Clone Jutsu. It's well established that Lee can't use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu and the Clone Jutsu is ninjutsu. So again, how did Rock Lee ever graduate from the Academy?

[@mikedimarco1889]

Regarding Naruto failing the final exam, I always thought it was a matter of him getting a second and third chance a relatively short time later. So the way I interpreted it, it wasn't a year between each time he failed the exam, but maybe something closer to a month where he was given a little more time to figure it out. As for Madara being revived, my theory is that with enough chakra a person can bypass time limits on Rinne Rebirth and even restore a body to youth, but the chakra required would be massive.

The plot hole that infuriated me the most by far was Madara breaking the Resurrection Jutsu because he knew the hand signs. Tobirama invented the jutsu, and yet doesn't break the contract from his end when Orochimaru resurrects him during his attack on Konoha. Also, I admit it has been quite a while since I've watched Naruto, is it ever stated when Madara (or Orochimaru for that matter) ever picked up that knowledge? And idk if you'd call it a plot hole, but the massive contradiction between the messaging of the beginning and rest of the series on destiny bothers me so much. Look at the Naruto vs Neji fight at the Chunin Exams. Neji talks about how your birth defines your role, and your role defines your destiny. Naruto disagrees, and when he wins you're supposed to take that as his worldview winning out. Then Kishimoto spends the rest of the series saying that Naruto is wrong. Every single kid in Naruto's class in Konoha grows up to be just like their parents, including Naruto. In the world of Naruto, who your parents are is literally all that matters when defining your destiny. The lack of consistency frustrates me.

[@MasquedJustice]

I mean, Naruto's destiny was to kill Sasuke and perpetuate the cycle of Indra and Ashura. He broke that cycle, defying his destiny. The theme of destinies is still at play to the very end

[@bhirnerful]

I don't think Kishimoto does enough to justify the view that Naruto is destined to kill Sasuke. IMO the story directly contradicts that. Indra and Ashura is the only major pairing that ends with one killing the the other. Hashirama didn't kill Madara (I guess you could say he did on a technicality since Madara stayed alive by taking some of Hashirama's flesh). They're also paralleled to Jiraiya and Orochimaru, and that didn't happen with them either. The cycle had already been broken at that point.

[@pieth68]

Why does that not bother you that hashirama instantely break the edo tensei without even handsigns? Then the REAL theme of naruto is not overcoming your condition but rather is about understanding between one and another hence why the so called " talk no jutsu " is one of naruto's best and most efficient technique since he used it the first time on zabuza. Hence why is has to know pain ( rip jiraya 🙏)by defeating (going through ) the six path of pain to really be to understand the sufering of the world , being able to endure it ( that's what ninjas do ) and overcoming it and become the bridge between people and even bijuus. After all naruto is a story heavely rooted in budhism. Overcoming your Destiny is just a subtheme in naruto and part of his character arc but its not central

[@South8i]

20:45 Based on what I've heard, the theory behind Naruto being able to fail the test three times while remaining in the same class as everyone else is that schools in Japan often conduct tests every three months. However, this is mere speculation since the series was created for a Japanese audience, and perhaps they could relate to it more.

[@simbadg13]

That's what I was thinking. Is it stated that they only do exams once every year at the same time with no special retakes? If that isn't stated then naruto could've taken the exam like 3 times in like one week. we see the graduations and naruto being on the swing but correct me if I'm wrong we don't know how much time is between those graduations. The academy could have a rotation of students graduating at different times throughout the year

[@network9568]

For the second plot hole (Kyubi lending his chakra to Naruto before the 4th Great Ninja War), I remember reading that Kyubi could weaken the eight trigrams seal sooner by providing more chakra (and the weaker the seal got, the more chakra he could provide). By the time of Part 2, Kyubi was confident that the seal was about to break soon (eg. the fight against Orochimaru and the fight against Pain), likely much sooner than it would take to regenerate if Naruto died. Furthermore, Kyubi was bored and putting his strength on display allowed him to flatter his big ego. However, Minato had outsmarted Kyubi through redundancies (sealing some of his and Kushina's chakra so they could restore the seal in an emergency, and entrusting the key to Jiraiya). I guess that bestowing his chakra to Naruto when he was falling off a cliff and all the times Kyubi held back from hurting Naruto's comrades would still qualify as a plot hole if we consider that Kyubi's only goal was freedom. For the third plot hole (Madara using kamui), it was seen before Obito became the ten-tails jinchuriki that the long-range kamui could work on the user (Kakashi once used kamui on himself to escape the kamui dimension). Even earlier, Kakashi almost succeeded in using long-range kamui on the Gedo Statue's head (and the Gedo Statue is a part of the ten-tails). My guess is that ten-tails Obito only lost the passive "phasing" effect of the short-range kamui, although that explanation is not stated outright in canon. Here's another plot hole you could mention if you make a part 2 video: during Haku's fight against Naruto and Sasuke, Haku says that chakra is supposed to be invisible at all times. And yet there are many cases where characters with normal eyes can see the "concentrated chakra" used in certain jutsu (to name a few examples: rasengan, the chakra threads used by Suna's puppeteers, and the Akimichi clan's butterfly mode). Thus, Haku's skepticism is arbitrary.

[@luiszx1385]

[@network9568]

​@@luiszx1385 If you're talking about my last paragraph (chakra that can be seen without a dojutsu), then I'll concede that in some instances the chakra is highlighted for us watchers (eg. Naruto practicing walking on trees), but the rasengan and butterfly mode are visible since they are noticed by characters without a sharingan or byakugan.

[@xdragoonzero0]

If Naruto using Kyubi Chakra weakened the seal then it'd be beneficial to Kurama to give Naruto Chakra in ways the reinforces his continued use of it. If Naruto accidentally killed his friends he'd be less likely to use it.

[@network9568]

​@@xdragoonzero0 The explanation would work when counting only the times Naruto was in control (eg. the entirety of Part 1) plus maybe the Part 2 fight against Orochimaru (Kyubi's chakra poisons Sakura during this fight but this could be counted as accidental). But two events contradict that explanation. During the time skip, he caused Naruto to attack Jiraiya during a training session just after Jiraiya had used the key toad to weaken the seal (an event which directly made Naruto and Jiraiya more reluctant to use Kyubi's chakra during Part 2). Later, in Part 2, Kyubi caused no additional casualty (according to Katsuyu) during the fight with Pain even though Kyubi thought he was just about to free himself. The absence of Kyubi casualty during the Pain fight and the reveal that he wasn't in control of himself during his rampage on Konoha were likely intended to foreshadow Kyubi's redemption. This is the Doylist explanation. But Kyubi attacking Jiraiya (during the time skip) and Kakashi (during the Kazekage rescue mission) yet avoiding harm to Sai and Yamato (during the Sasuke Retrieval arc) or to Hinata (during the Pain arc) is a minor plot inconsistency.

Personally, I think the Tailed Beasts simply reforming sounds simple and painless, but we don't know for certain what they experience during that process. As such, Kurama might have an aversion to allowing himself to die alongside his host even if he knows it's temporary. The alternatives are either that Kurama and the Tailed Beasts, for all their apparent hatred of humanity for sealing them away, sympathize with the majority of their hosts on some level for one reason or another and can't simply allow them to die in good conscience. Another theory is that the transfer of Tailed Beast chakra is not fully within the Tailed Beast's power or their conscious control, and that their Jinchuriki can forcibly tap into that power when in a state of extreme emotional distress or are otherwise in sync with their Tailed Beast's emotions for the transfer to be possible. However, these latter two possibilites hinge on one key factor; does the Jinchuriki actually die if the seal wears down enough to let the Tailed Beast out, or is the death of the Jinchuriki tied, not to the breaking of the seal itself, but the Tailed Beast escaping and not remaining connected to its Jinchuriki or returning to the seal before they expire? Because to our knowledge, Tailed Beasts like Shukaku HAVE gotten loose from their seals without killing their hosts, because Shukaku fully manifests every time his host falls asleep because of the shoddy seal work being used to bind him, yet Gaara lived after this presumably happened several times over the course of his childhood.

[@Brutalyte616]

@@DisplayDefenders I'm not talking about JUST Kurama though. Or are you somehow implying Kurama is the only Tailed Beast? I gave a list of reasons as to why the Tailed Beasts would give their chakra to their Jinchuriki even if death had no consequence to them, and compassion and sympathy was only one of the three reasons I gave. And on that particular topic, let us briefly discuss Kurama's feelings throughout the series for a moment. Even though Kurama is consumed by hatred and resents Naruto as his prison and jailer, most of that hatred is directed towards people other than Naruto because in his moments of relative calm and lucidity, Kurama recognizes that Naruto himself isn't to blame for their current arrangement and, while Naruto is a convenient outlet for his anger and frustration, Kurama CAN sympathize with Naruto, even if that sympathy can only be expressed by the two both being full of hatred and rage, because Kurama DOESN'T enjoy how Naruto is treated and the things that piss Naruto off piss him off as well, mostly because it validates his hatred of humans in general, but also because he knows the things happening to Naruto are wrong based on his own experiences and the moral philosophy taught to the Tailed Beasts by Hagoromo. Kurama encourages Naruto to get angry and lash out at things because it weakens the seal and brings him closer to freedom and revenge; that much is true, but it's also because, in those moments that Naruto gives in to his own rage, the two are truly on the same wavelength and able to cooperate with one another in their mutual hatred. However twisted that may be, that is STILL sympathy and compassion for another innocent being made to suffer and rage against the injustices of the world, and it lays the groundwork for Kurama's later friendship with Naruto, because Naruto understands and appreciates Kurama's pain more than Mito and Kushina did and helps him work through it.

And if he isn't needed for the infinite tsukiyomi then he could've had Obito do it since he didn't have an issue with it when he became the jinchuriki and was in his prime's body during it because of the reanimation.

I always thought that Itachi's sickness and how he couldve just cured it and delay it so that Sasuke could kill him, was just a way of atonement for him. He killed his family, and every other Uchiha (obviously with Obito's help) but when he got that sickness he couldve not only simply use it as a way to atone for what he had done, for him to suffer and not cure it so that he wouldnt just have simply waited for a way for him to get killed by Sasuke.

[@donovan4222]

I don’t get why people think he could of been cured, is it not possible for him to just have an illness that he can’t cure himself from?

[@Shuyin128MK4]

I'll take a swing at the plot holes and see what happens 1.For the Izanagi thing, I think Itachi didn't use it to prolong his life because he wanted Sasuke to believe he was at full strength. If Sasuke showed up and Itachi only had 1 eye, to Sasuke it would have been fighting with a handicap. On top of that, I believe that Itachi knew that after he died his eyes would likely end up being implanted into Sasuke, and because only the activation of the Rinnegan can reverse the damage to the eye by Izanagi, he would have only had 1 eye to give Sasuke instead of 2. 2. I think there is a reason for why Kurama did not allow Naruto to just die, and that reason is there is likely a cost to the tailed beast. It might be that whenever a tailed beast dies with their host, they lose a portion of their total chakra capacity. Kurama is already at half his maximum capacity thanks to Minato ripping half of it out of him, which in turn made him smaller. So maybe Kurama does not want his total chakra reduced further, likely because of his personal standing among the other tailed beasts. This is only a theory though that there is likely some form of cost to the tailed beast being revived through their host's death. 3 & 4. I've got nothing about the Kamui thing. 5. Nobody really thought of using it, especially because they did not know they would be coming up against nature chakra. I don't believe the stick would have done much vs 10 Tails, and while it could work vs Madara, they would have to strike Madara with it first. Madara being the enemy that he is, he likely would turn the stick around and beat tf out of Naruto with it (lowering or removing his own nature energy) or straight up destroyed the stick. It's not like that stick is a battle grade weapon after all, it's a stick. Plus, the Hashirama attachment can just constantly re-absorb more nature chakra. 6. I do not believe Donzo was being allowed to. The elders at the time likely would not have backed Donzo knowing the kind of man he was, but the Hyuga thing is also a good reasoning. 7. Yeah I got nothing for the Renne-Rebirth thing. 8. Black and White Zetsu were pulling the strings on things. So even if Madara did not end up reviving, Black Zetsu would have just moved on and made another new plan to revive Kaguya. And it's likely that Zetsu was watching over both Obito and Nagato to push the plan along, and would have ended up manipulating them to the point of Madara's revival knowing that Madara would have won in the end with how powerful he was. 9. I've got nothing about Naruto being the same age as everyone else. 10. I've got nothing about why they hid Naruto's identity. 11. I've got nothing about why he did not kill Donzo except knowing that Donzo was the head of Root, which helped Konoha from the shadows. So destroying Root at the time would have caused major issues, on top of losing the entirity of the Uchiha clan in stopping the revolt. 12. Yeah it's likely them loosing their seals could be why he lost his healing ability. 13. It's possible that the reason Obito left Naruto alone for so long is so his organization could build up. He went after Kurama at the time because of how easy the seal would have been to break (as he did) and use his Sharingan to control Kurama like how Madara did. His plan at the time was likely to take Kurama and use him to get his hands on the other Tailed beasts, but because Kurama was sealed into Naruto with a sealing Jutsu that very few knew much about because it was custom made by Minato himself, he figured it would be fine to just come back for him later. Plus he had to recover for getting his ass beat so hard and likely learn to refine his fighting style to take on tougher opponents in the future. 14. Yeah Sasuke surviving the explosion was a bit of an ass pull. 15. It's possible the rain washed away the genetic material from the blood. The arm likely sank in the water, and later it's possible Amado could have figured out a ninja tool to reach Jiraiya's bones to use as genetic material to clone him. But would not have been genetic material available to Kabuto at that point in time to revive Jiraiya for the war.

[@Jabeckham94]

11:45 To be fair. There are TWO scenes in the war arc were Kakashi uses long range Kamui to escape the dimension. He had to crouch or curl his body into a smaller space. Then use his hand to block his vision from any further point. And was able to create the long range portal directly ontop of himself and escape the dimension.(Long range Kamui creates a portal on the target of his vision.) And he only did this after years of using the ability. And the first time he did was clearly a hail marry attempt. Which explains why he never did it before. Using kamui on Minito's rasangan before it fully crushes his chest. stopping the nail pain shot at him before it pierces his eye. Are all clear examples he's able to create a portal close enough to himself. And he did put Killer bee in full transformation state into the dimension and then back out again when they initially fight the first stage of the tentails. So if Kakashi can use long range Kamui to send other people entirely whole into the dimension and he can use it to escape it. There's no reason to assume he can't use it to travel into the dimension. Madara using it with zero prior experience and not using anything to focus his vision directly infront of or ontop of himself however is most definitely a "Because Madara" Plothole.

We saw how Sakura was treated in the parallel dimension from the Road to Ninja film where her parents were dead while Naruto's were alive, and she got a glimpse of how Naruto lived for years since Kurama attacked Konoha with the help of Obito. And while Naruto was treated like a hero after the Pain arc, he certainly should have been treated better in his childhood like Sakura probably was in that other dimension. The fact that nobody realised that the lone Namikaze clan member and the lone Uzumaki clan member in Konoha, who were living together as a married couple with a child on the way, were the two ninja that Kurama killed because they sacrificed themselves to protect their only child from being killed by Kurama astounds me. Everyone saw what Naruto looked like, what his hair and eye colours were, and should have either figured out that he was Minato's son (seriously, how many adult ninja in Konoha had hair as yellow as Naruto and Minato?) or have seen photos of Minato and Kushina throughout the village. Another plothole in regards to Naruto himself was how he and Karin had no idea that the other was a member of the Uzumaki clan (Karin had Kushina's red hair, though Naruto didn't know that because he unfortunately was too young to remember Kushina) or that they were both the only living members remaining from that clan. Even Kakashi, who knew Kushina back when she was alive, should have seen Karin's red hair and been reminded of Kushina. Same with Sasuke when Karin first introduced herself to him. He should have gone "Uzumaki? So you are from the same clan as him, then?" while being reminded of Naruto. And even in a flashback to the Forest of Death part of the Chunin exam where Sasuke first met Orochimaru, Karin was also participating in that same Chunin exam and was infatuated by him (much like every girl in the academy because Sasuke was the mysterious bad boy type who no longer had a family and became a lone wolf of sorts). She at least should have also heard the name Naruto Uzumaki once during that part and began questioning if there were other members of her clan out there somewhere (though Naruto inherited more from Minato than Kushina, he was still the child of an Uzumaki which keeps him connected to that clan).

[@iRazenrak]

I have a headcannon for why/how Jiraiya wasn't reincarnated. He learned a sealing jutsu from Minato, Kushina, and/or Mito for sealing his soul preemptively, expecting to die fighting Pain and prevent himself from being revived. As for why Minato or Hiruzen never did this, it's because they died unexpectedly. And this is a high level sealing jutsu not many people can perform. But it would explain why there were no Uzumakis revived despite their sealing jutsus being some of the strongest.

[@ItzShiki_]

it’s explained why he wasn’t revived by kabuto…. His body was too deep underwater to retreave and in that same chapter obito said he’s not giving kabuto danzos body because he didn’t want Shisui getting revived bc he would have too much power

[@nousername191]

While very solidly in headcanon territory, I can invent an excuse if I were in Kishimoto's shoes: Kurama can't reform because half of him is sealed with Minato in the Death God. If the half of him inside Naruto dies, he stays in limbo until the other half, at least, gets out. As far as Kurama knew, that could be forever.

A few plot holes that anoy me beside those you already mentioned. 1) Madara knew about a way to release himself from the edu tensi and rescind the contract but Tobirama who created the justsu had no idea about it? 2) The third coffin Orochimaru summoned 3) The fact that Minato was a perfect sage and know one on mount myoboku knew about it. 4) Minato learning to become a perfect jinchuriki while he was sealed in the ripper death seal

[@ItApproaches]

- How do you know Tobirama didn't know about it? He never said...Maybe he did but didn't think anyone else knew? - What about the third coffin? It was empty...it popped up but the fourth wasn't inside so it failed. Or some half summon happened. Either way it failed as it should have. - That was because he was learning that while inside the reaper death seal....(silly I know, but he wasn't a sage in his actual life time) - He never was a perfect jinchuriki....he tames the half of the nine tails in him, but he was never a perfect jinchuriki.

[@darkinuyasha06]

I thought Izanagi was like a small time reversal tech. You could rewrite a certain amount of time from where you activate the ability. Madara activates it so he doesn't take damage from the last hit. Danzo uses it everytime he is hit so he isnt hit. It could only redo a minute of time or so. From what I recall.

[@andrerodney454]

Your argument' is not making sense. If you're saying Izanagi undos the last minute that's incorrect because Madara was already buried when the technique he timed brought him back to life. While yes Izanagi does rewrite reality within a minute, that's what Nick was trying to say. Itachi could've gotten another eye from obito's lab, let the disease eat away at him, rewrite it's effects, and get his other eye back.

[@BlueBoboDoo100]

​@andrerodney454 I don't see how that would be more effective than medicine. In order for izanami to cure a disease, you would have to undo the exact minute you contracted it, which is impossible to know. And if it's genetic or congenital there's no way izanami could help at all. At best it could only help you undo a specific coughing fit. Plus, it's clear that Itachi wanted Sasuke to take his eyes to get eternal mangekyo. Why else would he tell Sasuke how to obtain it? He explicitly knew how to use izanami and izanagi, but chose not to because ONLY a brother's eyes can become eternal.

[@lmpnizkit]

I was gonna say the same thing. But yeah.. he was way wrong on that one. And it’s only the first one.

[@t_g_gamerftw5075]

For the Madara using Kamui, I always viewed that as a chakra control issue. That is Obito never had a massive amount of chakra near that level and so had never developed a level of chakra control that could properly manipulate the amount of chakra that the ten tails had. Madara on the other hand even before he had Hashirama's cells had a massive amount of Chakra, and had a fairly long time to get used to controlling such a massive amount of Chakra (This man died of old age and has surely got decades of training for using large amounts of Chakra). As such, when Madara became a ten tails and had Kamui, he could still warp because he has a far higher skill level of manipulating huge amounts of Chakra. Furthermore I don't believe Obito was ever depicted as being a skilled Chakra manipulator. So just like Naruto who used to be unable to use even basic techniques because he couldn't control Chakra well (despite having arguably massive amounts of chakra to do so at the time), Obito who couldn't control his Chakra well anymore couldn't pull off a seemingly basic Dōjutsu that he was used to doing for decades. However Madara using Kakashi's eye to get into the Kamui space makes no fucking sense.

[@kreshar]

Kakashi was able to get himself out of the kamui dimension when they were fighting masked obito, kurama said he gave kakashi some of his chakra when he threw him at obito, and he could come out whenever he wanted, then he did. I always figured Obito could phase his body effortlessly with it just because he was an uchiha and could control it better though.

[@xburgerpanzer6741]

So obito could use country destroying jutsu like that 4 ways ten tails beast bomb tree, or crazy barrier techniques but not the one jutsu he is best at? Nah kishimoto needed him to lose that’s why he couldn’t use it!

For Sasuke Surving Deidara's C0, the main problem is the time frame. Sasuke is 10-20 feet away from the C0 and summoned Manda, used genjutsu, jumped into his mouth, and then used reverse summoning jutsu all before he was disintegrated by a bomb the size of an atomic bomb that explodes at thousands of MPH minimum. If Sasuke already had something prepared in advanced, then it wouldnt be a plot hole, but he doesn’t start doing anything until AFTER the bomb already explodes.

[@johnwaggner9143]

On Madara's Resurrection plan: I think it was Black Zetsu's plan entirely. Based on how Black Zetsu talks about his part in Shinobi history, I firmly believe that he has some kind of Kotoamatsukami-like ability to inception ideas into people's minds without leaving a trace or a breakable Genjutsu, so long as you have hatred in your heart. So I think most of what Madara, Obito, Nagato, and Kabuto in the war arc do is actually Black Zetsu's plans. But why did he needlessly unplug himself and make a super convoluted revival plan? Because Black Zetsu fucked up. When Madara was killed by Hashirama, Black Zetsu hid himself inside Madara's corpse, presumably because he knew that Madara had successfully taken a bite of Hashirama and therefore was Black Zetsu's best chance to produce a Rinnegan in over 2000 years, so he wanted to keep a close eye on that. And Madara did indeed create his Rinnegan at the end of his natural lifetime, which makes the decades Black Zetsu spent in hiding worth it, but then he realized he's trapped inside the body of someone who doesn't actually know he exists. So he has to come up with a plan reasonable enough to release himself from Madara's body without raising suspicion in Madara that he was an outside force. That plan was Madara's revival plan. It makes enough sense that Madara would go through with it for the chance to reclaim his younger body, but more importantly it would cause Madara to "create" Black Zetsu as a "manifestation of his will" for Obito and Nagato to draw from. This not only freed Black Zetsu from hiding within Madara, but also cemented him in the minds of the Akatsuki's leadership as an extension of Madara, meaning NONE OF THEM would ever question his true loyalties and he could exist in the open as a member of the Akatsuki without drawing suspicion. Black Zetsu NEVER cared about Madara. He only ever cared about creating the conditions necessary for Kaguya's return, and Madara was never an essential piece of that plan, only his Rinnegan were. Creating the situation were Madara was dead but his Rinnegan still existed gave Black Zetsu freer reign to diversify his approach to making the Eye of the Moon plan happen, and the only reason he probably manipulated Kabuto into Edo Tensei-ing Madara back in a younger body was he wanted a backup in case Obito got Talk-no-Jutsu'd, which he did, and so all the pieces were in place for Black Zetsu to spring in and bring Madara back as the vessel for Kaguya. Tl;dr Unfortunately, we gotta realize that Madara wasn't the actual mastermind of the Eye of the Moon plan; it was Black Zetsu. So all of the convoluted plots that crop up have to be looked at as if Black Zetsu was the one planning them, not Madara, Madara's Resurrection plan included.

[@dustinlewis4948]

You didn't even have to say all that. People think it was Madara cause that's all they cared to think about. Madara thought it was his plan and black zetsu after being alive for so long was definitely gonna make it happen some way or the other

Even the part of creating something that is the "manifestation of your will" is so weird and no one in the show ever did anything similar. You can argue it's the yin-yang release similar to the creation of the tailed beast, but it's such an ass pull ability. "I am barely alive hanging to the Gedo Mazo, but I can use a technique that the peak sage of six paths used to create life" I know Madara didn't actually use it, but he could not simply be that dumb to not notice right?

[@endopoth7]

Thank you for mentioning the Naruto’s graduation test. It never made sense to me.

[@brrosskiee]

I think there might be 2 reasons why Madara was brought back in his prime. 1: I think a reason why someone would be brought back in their prime is if their original body had decomposed already. we saw in the pain attack that most if not all the people who died still had their body intact which is why their spirits just returned to them. Madara, by the time the war arc rolled around, his body would just be a pile of bones. so maybe he was brought back in his prime because the closest thing he had to a body was his reanimated body which we know that you can bring whoever you want back in whatever form you want. and since Kabuto had reanimated Madara in the form of his prime, it could make sense why he was brought back in his prim. it could also explain why when Madara was getting revived, all that happened was that his reanimated body started steaming and lost all the paper looking layers that you can see on regular reanimations. 2: I think another way Madara could've been brought back in his prime is through the use of the abilities of the king of hell. we saw in the pain fight that when any of the other paths of pain would get heavily damaged, the king of hell could bring them back in their best condition aka, their prime. so its plausible that black zetsu could have influenced the was Madara was brought back combining the ability of the king of hell with the renne rebirth to bring Madara back in his prime. although the only fault to this theory is that the king of hell wasn't used to bring Madara back in canon. then again the king of hell could just be an embodiment of the abilities and not actually required to use them.

I think Kurama was just bored in most cases and just helped Naruto for entertainment. If I can recall as long as Naruto knew he existed and could’ve asked him for his Chakra willingly or not,the seal would’ve weaken in time anyway as he got older.

[@EskChan19]

I always thought of Izanagi more of a way to rewrite causality ratherthan complete reality. Something like you can change "I didn't dodge" to "I dodged left" and therefore the attack didn't hit you. But since illnesses are a natural cause I don't think you could just say "Oh no I didn't get that sickness actually" Also Itachi was planning to die to Sasuke to begin with, he never had the intention to survive so I don't think it's a plothole that he didn't seek a permanent cure to his disease, when he never cared to survive it anyway. His goal in life was to survive until Sasuke could kill him, thereby redeeming the Uchiha clan. So seeking a way to permanently survive when you are planning to die would make no sense honestly. But yeah everything around Madara was pretty much bullshit. Kishimoto just wanted to make someone super broken, rules of the world be damned. Also one thing you missed that I kinda HATED, even though I guess it's not TECHNICALLY a plothole is that pretty much ALL of Nejis arc and Narutos interaction with Neji was "Fate doesn't matter, you make your own destiny", just for the finale of the show to reveal that Naruto and Sasuke have been the chosen ones all along and it was always their destiny to fight and seal Kaguya and then fight again. I thought that was really cheap and devalued Neji as a character immensely.

With Itachi not killing Danzo, I could easily forgive it for his age, were it not for ALL of the times his genius was specifically remarked upon by how skilled and brilliant he was as a child. I am generally against using "did this crazy feat while super young" as a primary proxy for genius intellect because it fails to acknowledge social learning and maturity and experience needs for a lot of things, BUT, if you're going to make Itachi a brilliant leader and tactical genius in Anbu as preteen, you can't ALSO justify him being easily manipulated because he was a child.

Wasn’t Manda reverse summoned after Sasuke climbed in? I always figured that, the reason they both weren’t obliterated by Deidara’s last explosion was that they were only caught up in a bit of it before Sasuke could barely manage to unsummon Manda at the last second. Then, there was the fakeout of Karin saying that she could no longer sense Sasuke’s chakra, when, in reality, he was just somewhere far away. From here, Jugo summons them back to their location, which I think was what was leftover from the battle.

I think why Kurama doesn't wanna die with Naruto and him saying it would be troublesome could be tied to how the Tailed Beasts are said to be weaker in intelligence without a human host. Or maybe that being reborn leaves them in such a primal state without higher intelligence they have to regain first. Before the concept of tailed beasts were written its likely reincarnation was not on the table and they could actually die, or their return was not certain as the archetype they had back then were either spirits or demons. Remember when Kurama was kind of scared when Kabuto almost killed Naruto and the inside world became dark?

I have two for you: Why did Minato not solve the Rin problem? He could have teleported to her before or after the sealing of the 3 tails, teleported her away, fixed her seal, teleported her back to Konoha and gone back to whatever he was doing at that time. 3 minutes to an hour depending on the complexity of fixing the seal, he saves his former genin and gets Konoha one more Jinchûriki, thanks Kiri for the free gift and avoids all the drama. Why didn't Minato and Kushina adopt? Just because they wanted to reproduce their genes, they went against all the responsibilities of a ninja and Minato was the Hokage, he was supposed to put the village first. Yet with one unnecessary and egotistic decision, they completely threw the ninja code out the window and caused the most disastrous event in Konoha since its' founding and until Pain's attack came to dwarf it (and still managed to leave less casualties because he revived everyone...). There were thousands of war orphans to adopt, but no, they HAD to make a baby and weaken the seal in a period of unstability (right after a war, while the Uchiha issue was far from solved...)...

[@gaoaibai6243]

Hmmm I can easily answer these two, tbh ANYBODY who watched the show and well-versed in anime can easily answer, from an Eastern perspective: 1. IIRC Minato was fighting a hundred enemy ninjas or sth while Rin and Kakashi were being attacked by the Mist ninjas. There werent any chances for him to interact with Rin and Kakashi, let alone do any sealing techniques there. Also Rin is seriously weaker than Kushina she would die if given a seal. The whole reason why Naruto managed to survive was because of the Death Seal jutsu IIRC BUT that required Minato to commit suicide, and there aint no way he is gonna kill himself for a random like Rin. That would make no senses and bad writing. 2. Simple if your wife can give birth would you adopt a child? Being Hokage is one thing but your family matters more than anything. The village is your family also, true, but your wife and kids should take prio above any other random village because they are your blood and kin. Why would he adopt a child when his wife is perfectly capable of giving birth? Think about it okay? Also IRL women DO NOT like to adopt children when they are capable of giving birth, because that would show a weakness and in a fictional settings like the Leaf, I highly doubt people will go easy on her. Kushina will be bullied to hell should they adopt a child, and all manners of issues like rumors, discrimination and the likes also the child will be the heir of a Hokage, and just like Konohamaru he will be under extreme scrutiny there aint no way Minato is willing to let a random go through all that... Also the theme of bloodline and family is very prominent in the story like is this your first time reading a manga or sth? Bloodline is more often than not, a MASSIVE plot element in any manga see One Piece, Bleach and many many other old gen shounens for details. The Uzumaki bloodline was the whole reason for Naruto to fix Kurama's immense hatred and managed to become a Jinchuuriki, a random ass child adopted from a random family would absolutely DIE immediately the moment Kurama starts one of his rampages.

@@gaoaibai6243 Kishimoto wrote himself in a corner by making female Jinchûriki when giving birth is one way to weaken the seal. If Kushina was a Jinchûriki she should have been sterilized for security reasons, just like any female Jinchûriki should in-universe (Yugito never got close to anyone as far as we know so she wasn't at risk, Fû should have been sterilized too...). They're ninjas of the village and village security matters more than their wish of having a family. Minato somehow is never available when important things happen somewhere else and the meme of "fastest guy alive who's always late when it counts" kinda pisses me off. If he's never there when it counts, what's the point of giving him super speed and teleportation as his main recognizing elements? If it's just for him to stalemate A and B but is never used to actually progress the story in any way, then it's pointless. He could have used anything but teleportation and it would have made him much better as a character in-universe because it wouldn't give the reader expectations of him saving the day, because in the end he doesn't save the day with his teleportation and the Kyûbi fight could've been written in thousands of ways that don't require teleportation or a warping barrier to send a Bijû bomb away (Bijû bombs themselves are the death of creativity in the Narutoverse, on one hand you have Shukaku using sand and wind techniques on a bigger scale, on the other hand you have the Kyûbi, the main tailed beast, who's just a mass of chakra with no innate ability, the most boring of all the tailed beasts who gets much more time to be expanded upon). He could literally have used the transposition technique to save Kakashi in the gaiden chapter when he wwas close enough, but since he'd have to rush to them he'd have been too late to save Obito, to intervene against the Kumo jônin and he doesn't need tp to hit a rasengan on a fodder. With this, his lack of knowledge an intervention in the Rin crisis would be much less of a letdown because he could really not have intervened at all in a timely fashion even if he had known before Kakashi fought the Kiri nin. As for his skillset, he's a sealing master, invented the rasengan (which could have been completed to make up for the loss of teleportation, if he can throw it he doesn't need to get anywhere close to his enemies anymore and the elemental rasengan are all S rank techniques, most likely one hit kills with AoE damage). He also had sage mode, which was completely disregarded (he's "bad at it", yeah, sure, he managed to get KCM in the stomach of the shinigami but he couldn't master sage mode? please...just respect sage mode already Kishi...). Bloodlines, bloodlines...the most overrated overfocused part of a manga in which the magic system literally allows anyone to do anything as long as they figure out how it works and managed to put it in practice. There are 5 elements, there's yin (spiritual aspect of ninjutsu) and yang (physical aspect of ninjutsu), I bet you that 99% of the techniques can be categorized in one of these or simple shape manipulation (basic rasengan), and if not then it's a space-time technique and Kishimoto decided to make it not bloodline related (despite limiting it to two Hokage, Minato's lineage being unknown and to the MS/Rinnegan). Anyone with a knack for yang chakra and a way to increase their regeneration or to create new cells to replace the destroyed ones could replicate the Kaguya clan's busted bone release, and anyone without as much regen could at least work out the basic one (expanding bones, hardening them, shaping them to make a bone armor, all the basic aspects that are directly connected to yang nature transformation and shape manipulation, it's just like Sasuke making 5+ variants of the chidori with shape manipulation, he could teach it to his kids and say it's a clan technique, but it could be replicated).

On the long range vs self kamui thing, is it officially stated somewhere that they are different? I always just kind of assumed it was different applications of the same power and that's why Madara could kamui himself with Kakashi's eye.

Izanagi can pretty easily be explained as not being able to rewrite things up to a certain point. Like if something happened X Years Ago, you can’t Izanagi it away. Or more likely it only works during the period the jutsu is cast.

[@ohhellwhereami2574]

Izanagi is genjutsu as said by karin, she said real danzo is there which means it's not gonna work

[@EskChan19]

I always thought it's more about changing causality rather than reality. Like you can rewrite how you dodged therefore you didn't get hit, but you couldn't rewrite something that "just happens". Like if you die by being crushed by Susanoo you can just say "No I dodged before you grabbed me actually" and thus you weren't actually hit. But a disease just happens, you can't dodge it or anything. So you can't just say that you didn't get it because there's no logical way of causality to make it so.

[@florinalinmarginean1135]

​@@EskChan19That makes sense. And even then, Itachi wanted to make sure his eyes got to Sasuke. Using Izanagi would put a dent into that plan (assuming Izanagi cannot create more sharingan eyes)

Small correction, after sealing kaguya the sun and moon seals were taken back by hagoromo, they weren't destroyed during the valley of the end fight

Its so lazy that instead of finding a creative way for the main characters to overcome impossible odds he just weakens them or kills them off.

All I'm hearing is that Kishimoto was the real villain of the story. He MADE SURE there was war and strife💀💀

I was always under the impression that Kurama recognized that he could reform after dying inside of Naruto, but his pride as "The strongest of the tailed beasts" would not allow him to die like his kin, even if he would reform. Kurama is immortal (was) and therefore thinks on timelines much longer than the paltry extent of a human lifetime. Now, his rage and indignation at being leashed for 100 years is great, so great that a supposedly nice being became evil-incarnate after only 100 years of imprisonment, but I took that as a sign of dented pride, a pride so great that Vegeta himself could acknowledge it as practically Saiyan-like in strength. And prideful beings will do many things to avoid damaging their pride, even if it means using underhanded means to get out of situations with their pride intact. There's also another component to it... even though they can reform, who's to say that they're the same person when they do? What if it's more like reincarnation? Isobu has died twice, the most out of any tailed beast, and he's a very demure personality when we see him in the war. Who's to say that's how he was originally? When we saw him in the Three-Tails capture arc (anime-only filler, I know, but lacking any other context, I'm going to use it) he was aggressive, reclusive and just wanted to be left alone in his lake. And he didn't speak once, but what if he didn't remember how to, yet? Who's to say that the Isobu we see now isn't just a reincarnation twice over of the original Isobu? There's got to be some reason that Tailed Beasts are scared of death, and this seems like a perfectly reasonable explanation why. Why WOULDN'T dying and having their brains scrambled mess them up, even if they'll regenerate?

[@UniGya]

I think Kurama helping Naruto would be because reforming probably isn't easy and possibly takes a long time. It might take Kurama decades to reform, plus by helping Naruto he would be loosening the seal. He weighed his options and decided helping Naruto would be faster

[@carboncrystal619]

around 23:00, if i recall he wasn't named a namikaze because his dad not to long ago killed over 1000 people in one battle and with him dead wouldn't his son be the target of all those families which would also fit into the whole revenge and justice cycle the show brings up sometimes

[@ColdFuse96]

28:07 Shizune??? Where did that come from???? I mean no offense, but I dont remember Shizune (not Tsunade) ever being mentioned to have the ability to recreate lost organs. When was this mentioned?

[@trey6485]

If taking in too much sage Chakra turns you into an animal then why didn't Hashirama just continuously gather Chakra while Madara was sucking it out of him

[@mawandembatha6622]

Well Madara wouldn't just continuosly take his Chakra until he turns, he just took what he needed. Doesn't matter if Hashirama gathers more energy if Madara stops when he needs to. The only reason it worked on Pain was because Pain was trying to suck ALL of Naruto's Nature energy without restraint so that got him killed

[@trey6485]

@mawandembatha6622 if im fighting hashirama, I would want all of it so he doesn't get to use it. It's not like Madara knows about the consequences

[@MrThisucks]

Wasnt there something about kurama being split in half and naruto had the yin version of kurama and minato or someone having the other yang half? Or am I misremembering something? Wouldn’t that mean that the kurama in naruto be the “good” kurama and possibly just started liking naruto too much to let him die to free himself?

[@cynmaru]

Isn't Kakashi meant to be younger than Rin, Obito, and Guy? People assume theyre the same age for obvious reasons, however, he became a genin at age 5 which means he graduated before them and should've been put into a different platoon. Obito and Rin graduated at age 9 iirc. According to the data books, Kakashi is 3 years younger than Obito. Unless Obito and Rin graduated at age 9 at the same time as Kakashi at age 5 (soon after being promoted to chunin at age 6) then it makes sense.

[@mwtoZP]

Obito was 31 by the time of the war and so was Kakashi. They’re the same age.

[@cynmaru]

@mwtoZP Yeah but the thing is Kakashi became a genin at age 5 so shouldn't he have graduated and been put in a different team that was older than him and not with Obito and Rin?

[@Fume.N78]

@@cynmaru He was actually I don’t remember if the episode was filler but Obito had a flashback and it showed how Kakashi had older teammates complaining about how he was difficult to work with before he was part of team Minato

[@daleklover1234]

itachi was probably just too depressed about killing his whole clan that he didnt care about curing his disease

[@Dastardly-qd9fb]

Funny thing about the long range kamui plot hole is they could have done a rough workaround that may not be perfect but would be SOMETHING which is this have him look into a reflective surface and saying that works for long range kamui. Better than nothing imo.
