I'm curious what exaclty is the "Start of the new era project" that will begin with the upcoming Naruto movie. If it's not part three, then I wonder what else the project could be?
Naruto GT.
Re-watched the Hidan and Kakazu arc earlier today. The feels still got me good. Doesn't help that "Closer" and "Long Kiss Goodbye" are so fitting. Just hits you like a truck when you know what's going to Asuma, and Kurenai will be left a widow. When Shikamaru does the final blow to Hidan, that was such an awesome character development. Everything about this whole arc was perfect. Well, the manga was better, but the anime portrayal wasn't that bad. Kakashi and Yamato teaching Naruto Rasen Shuriken, character development for one of the best Konoha 11, and you even cared for Asuma and Kurenai, even if they were side characters. When the manga/anime actually focuses on trying to create character development, that's what the story gets so good, IMO, and why I've been following the series for over a decade now.
Actually, I think that's the main reason why it's hard to give Shino credit; he's done very little in the series to outshine the rest of the Genin 12, regardless of what they may have said/thought about him during his few battles.While it's true you can't really say who's the best, you can say which ones have done the most impressive feats for people to say that this guy or girl is a good ninja.
That's essentially a Part III.Naruto GT.

Same with the akatsuki cloak, it makes no sense to have a coat with red clouds, but he makes it work.
-Raiga- might have just been suggesting that it red clouds don't sound like they would look appealing on a black cloud even though they do in this case. But to add to what you said, before her death Konan told Obito that the red clouds "are a symbol of the wars that rained blood down on the Hidden Rain village." Although that could have been added much later, so I don't know if it was Kishi's original reason. But it makes sense because the original Akatsuki were fighting for "the rise of something greater," like you said.If you think about it, it kinda does. Akatsuki when translated to English is Red Dawn. I don't remember if they did explain why they are called that, but typically a Dawn means the beginning of light in the morning. However it also means like the development or the rise of something greater. Like when people say "Dawn of a New Age" or "Dawn of an Empire". Red could mean love or anger or aggression (Itachi joined Akatsuki to protect his beloved little brother, Obito was a member because he hated Kakashi for letting Rin die, Kisame just wanted to kill people, etc), which is what the members of Akatsuki are all about. The black cloak and red clouds could mean the night when Obito attacked Konoha and unleashed Kurama on them, taking the life of both Minato and Kushina, Hiruzen's wife, Iruka's parents, and many others. The Madara vs Hashirama fight also started at night, and led to Madara's death. Or even the black doesn't matter. The red clouds could just mean a bloody day is coming, and someone will most likely die.
Except the whole reason for this debate was that the first time wasn't proven anything more then him just telling Obito what he wanted to hear: Sasuke didn't like Obito, and wanted little to do with him beyond what he could gain. Sasuke also had a history of lying to villains he partnered with. More importantly, Sasuke had no reason to lie to Team Taka. The entire fight with Kirabi was to show that Sasuke did actually care for his teammates at that point in time. And not only would they not have cared about him killing innocent people (heck, they wouldn't have had any problem joining in), but they would have listened to him had he told them not to interfere, as they had already proven in the past. Throw in the fact that every chance he got, he choose to do something else instead of going after the village, and it's clear he was just feeding Obito a line in order to get what he could out of him.Anyway, I'm done with this debate. I have nothing more to add beyond what I've already stated. Sasuke planned to kill everyone in the village. That's not my opinion, it's a FACT. It was proven several times in the manga by Sasuke himself and that makes him a villain for that time. Not a anti-hero, a straight up villain. If you don't want to believe that then just read the volumes. They finish my arguments for me, because you're pretty much arguing against what the volumes set up. So I'm done. I have nothing new to add because I'll just be saying the same thing over and over again.
Pretty sure Hinata was always treated as a Naruto fan-girl. The only difference was that Hinata had more going on then just that, unlike Sakura who's sole focus was her crush.Now to everyone on Sakura vs Hinata. How did we get to this point? Now we're arguing who was more clinging to Naruto or Sasuke. They both are. The difference is Hinata did not start off as so Naruto centric as she is now. In part 1 Hinata actually had a life and Naruto just inspired her to be better at it and this is where the crush came in. Somewhere along the lines in part 2, Hinata simply became a Naruto groupie and whatever story she had beyond that was lost in her popularity and shipping. Hinata's the most popular female in the Naruto series so I'm not surprised it bit her in the butt in the end. To everyone who says all she ever thinks about is Naruto...well yeah. I have to agree with that. The only thing I'll argue is she wasn't always like that. Popularity and her shipping did her in.
I also like Naruto's Sage Mode design. Jiraiya looked strange yet powerful, but Naruto mastering it made his eyes look cooler than I could have imagined myself.

^ loving their outfits would just mean you love the war outfits, since everyone, except Naruto, Sasuke, and the enemy are wearing the same exact outfit. Like, no difference at all. Not even different colors.
Anyways, I like RTN Hinata. She's the exact opposite of canon Hinata. She's wearing lipstick and makeup, she's feisty and approaches Naruto like he's hers, wearing short shorts, zipping down her jacket, and just showing off to everyone her stomach and fishnet bra. I still like shy Hinata more though. Tobirama Senju is also great. I've always liked characters with jackets that have the fur by the neck. He specializes in Suiton, so it makes sense for him too. If only he didn't die young, he could have created so many more jutsus and might have even perfected Edo Tensei and Space-Time jutsus. And wouldn't want to leave out the Akatsuki cloak. So simple, yet so effective.
