Why is he so underapreciated?

This, I hate Sakura like every sane person but the fight was pretty cool, soon before Naruto turned into a dragon ball powerlevel fest

Now that you put it that way. It was the last technical fight that used strategy, skill, and tools. Everything after that was just shooting beams at each other and DBZ punching.

>I hate Sakura like every sane person
Only the sane lover her and realize she embodies the raw talent Naruto himself abandoned in favor of prophecies and alien genetics.

>It was the last technical fight that used strategy, skill, and tools.
Shikimaru fight had strategy, skills and rules.

I half remember liking a few of the war fights like the Raikages brother fighting two people.

Retard Sasuke vs Deidra is the most tactical fight in the series and it came 100 episodes after this. Naruto never went dbz.

Sasuke vs Deidara was not a good fight. In fact, I would go as far as to say all of Sasuke's fights after the timeskip were not good fights.

Naruto had so much underused characters. Rock Lee should have been a main character fuck Kishimoto.

The puppet fights were always boring to me

>Loses to his Grandma
If I had to fight my grandma id fucking kill her

I think the prophecie had potential, but yeah why a manga about self improvement and hard work would talk about destiny? I expected a twist at the end...but nothing happened

Are you guys retarded, Minato vs tobi is the most tactical fight in the series and it came 200 episodes after this fight. Naruro never went dbz.

Naruto was never about raw talent if it had been Rock lee would have actually mattered.

Only good Akatsuki were Kisame & Itachi
Wish they could've lived and retired together

Tobi was cool. Obito a shit.

Are you guys retarded, Sasuke vs Itachi is the most tactical fight in the series and it came 200 episodes after this fight. Naruro never went dbz.

I never cared about Kisame, did he even do something important at some point in the anime? He fought against killer bee but failed and Guy killed him like a little bitch

>Sasuke vs Deidra
Fuck no, That's when the asspulls stopped being subtle.

I liked Kisame as the guy who just went along for the ride. Never expected him to outlive Itachi and every other member including the figurehead leader. He also truly believed Obito's cause.

what said
Also you can't not be emotional when zombie Itachi mentions Kisame once noticing Samehada on Killer Bee

The writer was fucking retarded and wanted his little insert to have it both ways.

There's no coming back losing to Sakura, even if it was intentional.

my favorite akatsuki member,sad that he didnt really get any spotlight

One of the more balanced Akatsuki members who relied on poison to win. youtube.com/watch?v=UZjQWSHCky4

His powers required constant care, intelligence, craftsmanship and hard work. An interesting character used for Naruto and Gaara's gay honeymoon reunion, unfortunately.

>Guy killed him like a little bitch
Literally the opposite of what happened holy shit

Died in his first appearance AND his first fight.
