* The moderators will flair the post themselves after a period of time has passed (30 minutes) with it being left without a flair. Multiple instances of not flairing posts will be kept track of and result in a rule violation.
4. Tag Spoilers
- Absolutely no spoilers in titles!
- Spoiler tag anything beyond the Boruto anime, such as previews, schedules, and the Boruto manga. Spoiler rules do not apply for the Naruto series.
- Comments in threads that are already spoiler-marked do not need to be hidden in spoiler tags.
- Use common courtesy and spoiler tag major events when referring to spoilers of other series, not necessarily limited to just manga/anime either.
5. Limit low-effort submissions
- Absolutely no memes, image macros, or shitposts are allowed. Use /r/dankruto. Any low-effort posts which do not even belong in dankruto shouldn't be posted at all.

- Incorrectly sourced work will be removed. To link directly to the source, copy-paste the url of the work into the url space that's available when making a link post. Uploading said work as an image and leaving the link in the comment thread is the incorrect method.

Tsunade's Correct Bodyguards for Five Kage Summit
I have seen this post before, but in those posts, their seem to be a lot of people who don't get the obvious pattern at work. So, I wanted to point it out. That Tsunade would not bring Shizune or Shikaku, but Kakashi & Naruto along with her to the Five Kage Summit.
As a refresher the Kage & Escorts when as such,
Ay: Darui, Cee
Gaara: Kankuro, Temari
Onoki: Kurotsuchi & Akatsuchi
Mei: Chojuro, & Ao
I excluded Danzo for obvious reasons.
As should be readily apparent, each Kage brought their eventual successor.
Three Kage brought their heir apparent(s): Ay brought his “right hand” as he calls Darui, Onoki his grand-daughter as he was grandson to the First Tsuchikage, Mei brought her clear favourite Ninja Swordsman. Gaara, the current Kazekage, brought Temari & Kankuro, who according to the Gaara Hidan novel were considered Gaara’s presumptive heirs at this time.
So each Kage brought their successor, more or less.
A tradition of sorts, apparently, as we see the first generation of Kage do the same thing during the inaugural Kage Summit. Each of the First Kage(s) bring the eventual Second Kage(s) as their seconds, except the First Mizukage who brings the Third Mizukage: knowing, Gengetsu, I think we know why.
This tradition makes sense, as witnessing a Kage summit & being exposed to the other kage and their likely successors would be invaluable experience for an upcoming Kage.
So, of course, Tsunade would select Kakashi & Naruto. The eventual 6^(th) & 7^(th) Hokage. Her first & second choices to succeed her as Hokage, which she explicitly states to Jiraiya in Chapter 367.
The argument she would bring Shikaku or Shizune is ridiculous.
Shizune might be her assistant, but none of the other Kage brought their assistants, and unlike the Raikage, the World’s Greatest Medical Ninja wouldn’t need to bring a medic along.
Shikaku might be her second in command, but none of the other Kage brought their seconds. Gaara left Baki behind, and Ay ditched Dodai as well. Maybe, Ao is Mei’s second, but that is very unclear. Also, Mei is a relatively new Kage, where as Tsunade is far more established.

help me recap Shippuden!
About 6 years ago, I stopped watching Naruto Shippuden (at about episode 120.)
can someone catch me up on up to episode 110 of Naruto Shippuden so I can pick up back at episode 110? I half remember which Akatsuki members did what or died or who killed who and what abilities are revealed or what the resolve of some characters are. Please do not suggest I start over. Dm's are open!

How to improve suna village?
If you were a suna kazekage or Jounin how would you improve the village money and other problems?
In my case the only idea i have is to steal all of geto's assets in the Land of waves.
Does the village have water? Drinkable ones? Built wells?
How difficult is it to create a barrier around the village to protect against Deidara eventual attack? Do we need to know fuinjutsu? Does the sand village have people like that?
Matter of fact why was there no barriers? Or surveillance system or ninjas on lookout?
How to increase the strength of the ninjas?
What would YOU do to improve the village? Discuss!

One aspect of Sasuke's interesting psyche....
That I don't see discussed enough is that how Itachi made him feel extremely helpless in a situation. People may fail to realise why Sasuke's quest for power is so adamant if they don't notice the fact that Itachi made him feel like a powerless spectator to his parents' death for multiple days in a row, two times. Then if it wasn't clear enough, told him upfront that he is weak.
One interesting thing about trauma is that to actually hold on to mental stability, people need to feel like they have power over their lives. Traumatic incidents are in one way so traumatic because we feel powerless and unable to act when such incidents happen. This lack of agency over our own lives and things that could go wrong in it makes people feel very, very, very scared. So scared sometimes that they may physically be unable to move, and any reminder of such traumatic incident may send them into an episode where they feel like they are once again in the place where they were traumatized.
What I'm getting at is....Sasuke's obsession with power and 'doing it all alone' is that he wants to regain agency in his own life. He wants to feel like he has power over what happens to him. Which is why Itachi's reveal completely shatters him, because he once again realises that he could have done nothing. Why he goes so mad at the 5 Kage Summit is because he is extremely scared, confused and traumatized in his life.

Was Obito holding back to Naruto?
Do you think Obito wasn't fighting seriously? His actions, even kakashi said he's trying to change Naruto morals. What if Obito was fighting to kill, do you think he can beat them before kakashi can figure out his kamui? I wonder how terrifying Obito could be if he go all out.

If there was a switch up among the Akatsuki groups, which pars would make good teams and who would be the worst?
Deidara and Hidan would definitely be the worse. Not just with each other, but anyone else who partnered with will quickly get sick of them.

Your favorite Naruto opening lyrics?
The rising tide of cheers will give me courage
Getting back up this time will be tougher than ever
But I know we'll end up smiling
We'll get everything - victory and the cheers
Everybody stand up!
Rise up, todays your best shot
Youre a speed hunter moving at lightning speed
Everyone's spellbound, a headliner. Yeah! (Come on!).
This is from Hero's Comeback by nobodyknows. For context in the opening its the scene where everyone is reaching for Gaara's hand. I didn't know what was being said for a while and couldn't get the propper translation for years but now I know I feel more inspired than ever! Just wanted share with you guys. What d'you think and whats your fav lyrics from Naruto openings/songs?

Opinion: It would have been better if Pain's Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth brought back Hinata
Rewatching this, since Naruto convincing Pain caused him to give his life to bring everyone back to life and heal them, why didn't they just have Hinata die and be brought back by Pain? Would have made the fact that Naruto stood by his beliefs despite his pain even more powerful. Was there any reason for the choices made? The Pain Arc is my favorite, but I feel a great opportunity was missed, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

Unpopular opinion: Konan never stood a chance against Obito and she only got her spotlight cuz Kishimoto dumbed down Obito
We're talking about the same Obito who only in his teen was capable of performing a genjutsu powerful to the point he could control Kurama. He could've easily done the same to Konan, learn Nagato's location and then kill her without any actual struggle but nah Kishimoto decided to dumb him down which gave Konan her spotlight and led to the rise of all dumb headcanons such as "Obito only won cuz of Izanagi"
Further clarification: In case anyone thinks I'm against Konan having her moments, I'm not. She can have her epic moments but this one doesn't make any actual sense. Sure it's understandable she used her prep time to create counter-measures but those said counter-measures wouldn't have worked in the first place when Obito could've easily used genjutsu on Konan at the start of the battle

During the chunin exams, Gaara was really the only one killing other shinobi and he didn’t have to. He gave 0 fucks.

I know this has been said before but its still really really odd me that Kakashi is nowhere to be seen in the Boruto Manga, like idk if I missed some details in the manga, but is there a reason why Kakashi is nowhere in sight in Boruto despite being shown in the Anime frequently?

Susano-why is it so strong, even kages can be pretty weak against it
By ending so many people had susano, kakashi susano make no sense, contextually, initially even raikage could nt keep up with rib cage susuano, Did it used to be common in uchiha
