Little maps like OP does sometimes would be nice for sure. Hard to gauge how long someone has travelled and how much time has past, how far people are from each other etc. But Id say its not meant to be important I guess?🤷‍♂️

Leo

You can skip 123-124. Give us 125-128

Shoutout to my goats that are always waiting each week with me: G, Lydia, Beautywillsavethisworld, Billie, Bambina, Ordinary Guy, Vixen and everyone else!

More Naruto Reactions

I CANT WAIT ANYMORE

More Naruto Reactions

Omg soon 😭😭😭 💥🧨

JAN NARUTO

Back then, waiting for the next Naruto episode/chapter was a special kind of suffering. Now, waiting for the reaction videos feels just the same

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Please let it be an early drop so we can watch it on Friday and not Saturday 🙏

Ordinary Guy

2 days left?

McKay Carter

Idk something about that guy just pisses me off

JayCnY

thanks for the spoiler mckay :(

JayCnY

so true.

S0uL YgR

Shalllowww? Art is his passion and makes him feel he will become immortal through it. Shallow to me would be oh it's so pretty but I still want to kill because everyone else is ugly or something like that. There's artists in real life that feel passionate about their craft and use it to help the world become better. His twist is just darker to the same sentiment IMO

Billie

literally came here to say that 😭🥰

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

And he still didn't unlock his mangekyou. They can't even imagine what he went through later that triggered it😢🥹

More Naruto Reactions

Omg same 😭💀

Bambina

3 days left 🔥🔥🔥

Vixen

@bambina me like 5x a day 💀

Hector

Trusttt me we get get of jack every show 😭😭

Marcus

You can still be a bum and strong. Deidara has the most immature and shallow motivations for such heinous acts/intentions lol.

Lydia

😂😂😂

Bambina

He’s just annoying

Bambina

I occasionally open the app to see if a miracle happened and somehow we got early upload

Cannon Andrus

We didnt forget any of that lol

Vanesa

My poor Kakashi

Yoshi Go baa

I was thinking jack was talking a lot too in this one… I love hearing more from him tbh

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Don't forget the wait after episode 138 😭

Lydia

the wait shall be worth it

Ordinary Guy

Bruh, for me the wait for the something push is agonizing

Lydia

💀💀💀💀💀

Lydia

The wait after 130 and 134 is actually going to kill me lmaooo

S0uL YgR

🤭🤫

S0uL YgR

Quick question...remind me again why McKay hates Kabuto so much? Actually 1 more, does Jack talk this much in other shows too or is Naruto that special he can't hold back? I enjoy Jack's curiosity and gives me hope Naruto can become his fave🤞

S0uL YgR

I think they forget a lot 🥲 but maybe they refer more to his bummy attitude, hopefully that's what they mean

TrueCrisp

We got like 4 months of solid oozing peak

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

🙋Same, I should just uninstall patreon app so that it won't be too unbearable. We are in the peak teritory 👀

Vixen

🙋‍♂️ and the waits only gonna hurt more as we progress 😫

Lydia

Im legit counting down the days yall lol anyone else??

jessiefungirl

i love tobi and i still think you haven't watched shippuden if you haven't clowned tobi AT LEAST once

JAN NARUTO

same, cant wait to see the next hundreds of eps, ngl their reaction is addictive

jessiefungirl

nah nah let him cook Bellaa

jessiefungirl

he just feels like a bum

Ordinary Guy

Yeah, I know. I just can't wait til it's Shippuday for the next arc 😂

Juan Avila

It’s Fridays

Ordinary Guy

Is it not ShippuDay yet? 😂😂😂

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Man of the world... 😭 One of my favourites

Kesendo

And did they forget that Deidara was able to defend himself against Team Guy in close combat, with no arms and while being exhausted lol

Sun

it doesn't matter what scene it is, playing certain naruto soundtracks (30:55) will have me sobbing non-stop every single time

JaJa

Remember Naruto's clone will transfer all the damage and fatigue they endure to him. So if his clones chakra network gets severed it gets transferred to him afterwards.....so hes still screwed

Cookie

thank you

GooberM

whats with calling deidara a bum lol, are they forgetting he beat Garra? even if it was because Garra had to protect the village, deidara is pretty damn strong man

Audreyldo

Obito is my goat

Osvaldo

I love Tobi.

Gyt

Kabuto spitting

Kaibur

tobi slander will not be permitted bro is funny as hell

Kaibur

we are steadily approaching peak we gotta get another binge for this surely

Ordinary Guy

Bro, tbh I am not sure. But all I can say confidently and religiously is that the Leader is my number one fav character. He's my goat.

Leo

Liam, nah itachi won't win in his dream against akatsuki's leader. I will explain to you when the time comes.

rohan

next week gonna go crazyyy

Matt Haloostock

We're reaching peak Naruto!

Lydia

finally seeing the Yellow Flash of the Leaf 🥶🥶

YourGuy

It was a joke

Bellaa

woah woah leave sakura out😞🙈. especially if u have seen the whole show

Bellaa

yeah that comment makes me confused. did u have issues with erwin?🤔😅

Ali

I love how the guys were clearly touched by the death scene. They all went quiet, with a well of emotions on their face. And when Carter finally broke the silence, his voice cracked. And jack was holding back tears, the "I loved her" line got him in the end. It's what makes Naruto goated; the character arcs.

bondbond53

Brig either doesn't clarify stuff that's been already revealed in fear of not spoiling or spoils details 5 minutes before they're revealed in the story. Never change Brig haha, but I get it Naruto is such an extensive story that one sometimes gets lost in what's been revealed or not

Niffol

I made the same prediction as Carter when I met Obito as well. However, I got cooked by all my friends for it too, your friends are more nice.

Niffol

"Carter mark her with the death." I want this to be a thing now.

Cannon Andrus

? I don’t see the comparison at all

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Lowkey, a lot more of them too

Storm

Why would anyone want them to rush the best parts of Naruto lmao. The wait sucks but The 4 episode format is the best way to experience especially this part of the story

Karlsefni

Obito in 2/720 episodes > Tenten, Choji, ino, Shino, Kiba, konahamuru, sakura

Dakota

lmao we knew that only 4 episodes a week would take a while, but its so brutal when you know whats coming

Mahti

They all do this not just Jack. Like they have to hold eye contact in order to talk to each other which I never understood why, must be a cultural thing

Lydia

Yes not cool but so cute 🥹🥹

An

i wonder if brig or mckay watched it with or without filler the first time? then they might not have watched those episodes or other “filler” backstories

SIIver

Kakashi lore got me crying every time😭😭

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Yes!! It's quite silly in a way - it's not cool like Kakashi's fit but it fits his personality. It's perfect for him

GreetswithJudgement

😂

David Ambroson

In 3 months

David Ambroson

Peak is coming

Lydia

yess that part is so heartbreaking "ill become your eye and see the future for you"??? like come onnnn

Lydia

I LOVE obito’s drip 😭😭😭 it’s unique and it reminds me of Naruto’s in OG. Kakashi gaiden is just as good as I remembered it. Mannn the wait for episodes each week is going to be unbearable now. Yall have no idea what’s coming!

Patriicia

It gave me chills when Obito said he wanted to give his eye to Kakashi 😭😭 they finally became closer and it ended like this. So sad, this show really hits you when you dont expect it

Patriicia

Jack just memorize what you want to say in your head and say it later when there are no dialogues 🤣🤣🤣

Fatipapi

Who tf is talking to you? 🤨

Patriicia

I respect him, he is a good character but rn I find him a little bit annoying 🤣 I dont know why, I liked him more when I watched it for the first time

Yugi Umuto

Shippuuden saturday is here europe gang

Storm

Respect Deidara???

Yerr

I agree, should have just given him a good death and called it a day. The only reason i feel like he isnt more of a focal point is bc the plot gets thicker as shippuden goes on and the pieces moving at that point dont really have anything to do with rock lee or his character. So the eps around his development would just have felt like filler. Drawing away from the main story. And the writer does give him a whole arc of filler later in shippuden so it seems he did try to give him some screen time. Timelines between manga release and anime airing also prob played a part. Cuz the issue with pacing is common throughout the show. Theres also the fact the show was supposed to end after a certain arc and then Jump made him write more because of the success of the show so the entire finale of naruto was supposed to be like 200 eps earlier than it actually was. Overall i think there was a lot of back and forth between the story kishimoto wanted to write and the story that Jump thought would bring the most money bc of its massive success.

YourGuy

Sasuke is like the Erwin of Naruto for Cannon

Studio Geck

That makes even less sense to me. I don't understand why that means he couldn't be written into shippuden. He was such a fan favorite that we are gonna keep him alive but not do anything with him and he will just disappear. I don't feel like it would be that hard to find good ways to include him. Shouldve just given him a good death scene in OG if thats the case

Secretly

To answer Carter, they are in the Land of fire right now, which is where the hidden leaf i located. Think if the leaf as a city and the land of fire as a country. Sasuke was outside of it in the rocky area at the beginning of the ep, but then went to the uchiha hideout which was in a town in the Land of fire.

S0uL YgR

Omg please Jack PLEASE 🙏 listen to Karlsefni 😅🫠Naruto details are 🤯

S0uL YgR

😭😭😭😭😭💔❤️‍🔥💔🖤

Secretly

To be fair, I guess he tried to include one squad every mission. So Guy squad for Garaa retrieval, Asuma squad for Hidan and Kakazu, and now Kuranai squad for this mission.

S0uL YgR

Poor Jack he gets so excited he forgets to pay attention cause he's analyzing everything out loud 🤣 it's crazy how i use to think he was the most quiet but apparently it was because he had no mic by him 💀

Secretly

In Deidara’s defense, in the manga he really didn’t have much clay left when fighting Naruto and Kakashi, and only had enough for 1-2 more creations. In the anime he said that and spammed like 20 attacks. He was super gassed after fighting Garaa and sealing him.

Secretly

Should probably delete this no ?

Secretly

I think Brig is a little excited cause he keeps saying things 5 seconds before they say it in the show lol.

Ordinary Guy

Nah, I'd win 😂😂😂

JAN NARUTO

In addition to the fillers, there is also the first Shippuden movie where Neji and Rock Lee are rocking.

Yerr

Writer planned for him and neji to die in sasuke retrieval arc. They were huge fan favorites so he tried to write them into shippuden where he could. Kinda hard to fit two characters in to a plot that already has so many moving pieces when you werent planning anything for them bc they were supposed to be dead.

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Sadly yes, I didn't know If I should say that. Same goes for Neji. The original plan for both of them was to die in Sasuke retrieval arc

Yerr

I dont believe this is spoiler, but the reason rock lee isnt very prominent in shippuden is bc the author/mangaka originally planned for him to die in OG naruto. So he didn’t really have a role/place in shippuden. However, he was such a fan favorite after OG that kishimoto kept him alive and tried to fit him in in places in shippuden. Theres a filler arc in shippuden with some amazing rock lee scenes.

idcjayyy

for real 😭😭

Michael H

Wow…

Liam

Itachi wins low dif

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

👀

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Yes, definitely not 12 hours. Max 4-5 if they feel like it because there will be peak back to back

Liam

Shut up brah

Kesendo

Nah, I think it's better to stick with four episodes per week, with maybe one or two extra whenever they feel like it. Watching 12 hours of anime straight would be too much for anyone, and they'd just end up being burned out & zoning out during peak moments, like they did during their 12 hour marathon for og naruto.

jrnoodles

Thanks Geks! Sasuke vs Deidara/Tobi up next. I can't wait!

Ron Jackson Jr

hahaha lol

Ninjinzo

it's a dragon ball reference u munch kishimoto literally worked under him

nima lama

I love you guys but Jack why tf u talk too much, and Brig just tell them the whole story. No need to watch the show.

Yo Dani

There it is! I kept refreshing the page last night after work, but because im from Europe, it was only afternoon for you (depending on which coast you guys are from). So i didnt realize that i actually have to wait until saturday lol. But its cool, today i get to watch Naruto, Sakamoto and Solo. Thank you guys o7 Lord Brig xD

Richie Sour

120 is such an amazing episode, we’re in peak now

Richie Sour

This is how the shippuden manga starts, so it’s technically first in the story, hence why we wanted it to start first

Richie Sour

100%

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

I would pay milions 😭

Tom Berlinerblau

Episodes 125 to 175 is close guys

cade-carter

Deidara is my favorite Akatsuki, and this is one of the coolest fights in the series

Fatipapi

I did laugh at the “the rock made him acoustic” 😂

Fatipapi

Agree, i think Danzo makes more sense because we KNOW he definitely is fishy and was trying to destroy the Leaf. Plus, i think it would be very stupid for a writer to make the names so similar if its supposed to be some plottwist 😅 we don’t even know how many one eyed ppl there still are in the naruto universe 👀👀

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Ngl, Carter’s theory would be hilarious—Obito somehow surviving without getting crushed and then joining an evil organization where he’s constantly cracking jokes in a goofy voice. 😂😂When you put it like that it sounds funnier than it is. I liked the Danzo theory more, even though it has baseless assumptions. In the next drop, we’ll finally learn something 👀

Fatipapi

1:29:25 😂😂😂

cade-carter

they really should have started with this :l

Fatipapi

Were getting closer to PEAKKKK YALLLLL

Sandi

Datebayo

Karlsefni

It would also suck if the geks were worn out/tired during the later hours of the binge & that effected there viewing experience/reaction - maybe a 6 hour binge at most would be best

Billie

never noticed some of this :(((((

Leo

Obviously it's Akatsuki's leader by a mile.

Chrisiyyi

Different bioms is possible, new zealand where they filmed lord of the rings is like that, one moment can be at at the sea then a glacier and a swamp or a open plain, its actually crazy to experience

Karlsefni

12 hour binge would be great but if they were only to do one more binge for the entirety of Naruto - think it would suit better for the last arc as it can get dragged out at times - next few months of episodes will be well paced so it’s not neccesary right now

Zu

I got rid of it as soon as I saw the comment about the gap

e riv

These little details are the reason I love Obito ❤️. He was the best for just a couple of minutes 🥹.

Karlsefni

@Zu, thanks for deleting your other spoiler comment - didn’t mean to be dramatic with the all caps- just thought a comment written in all caps would get your attention quicker if you were to get a notification 🙏

AA

U can literally google it, just because its in DB doesn't mean its a reference.

andy

goated

Karlsefni

this time it wasn’t intentional - the person wrote a spoiler warning which is fine - unfortunately it’s just the case that when your scrolling on a laptop/computer the spoiler below is visible without manually having to click the “show more button”

Bellaa

😧

Bellaa

stop spoiling pls

kuza

can finally be excited for every single naruto drop

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

I don't know if you guys noticed, but Obito's grave at the end was the same one Kakashi always visited. Also, I’m not sure if you remember, but in the original series, whenever Kakashi was late for Team 7 meetings, he always used the excuse that he was helping the elderly—that was a habit he picked up from Obito- to help old people when he can. And that famous line about abandoning your comrades; Kakashi used to teach Team 7 the same lesson about ethics.

MermaidMan

Guys okay I calculated how far you would get in a 12 hour marathon and you’d end up at the end of a very good arc 😏

Ordinary Guy

The debate whether who's stronger. Itachi or Akatsuki's Leader (whom we shall not say the name until revealed)

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

He is just alright hahah I never hated him. But we should wait for the next drop 👀

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Obito reminded me of Naruto—he had that spirit, the will to protect his comrades, and a lack of natural talent. He was willing to do anything to protect the people dear to him, which made it even more heartbreaking to see him meet such a painful end because of his choices. He died saving Kakashi, someone he had always been jealous of and never fully understood until that moment. That alone shows how pure-hearted he was. "I'm the only one who didn't give you a gift for becoming a Jonin." That line always hits hard. This is the first time I truly cried while watching Naruto. Even though we only see him in flashbacks, I love his character more than most of the main cast. Like Carter said.

Vallll

That’s a Chinese mythology called Journey to the West. It’s quite well know in Japan as well, but it’s not Japanese.

Mima

PEAK

Patriicia

I must admit I liked Deidara when I 1st watched Naruto but now I agree with Cannons "bum" nickname

Zu

Pin this comment lmao

Leo

This is also the arc where naruto's character is peaked.

idcjayyy

Brig and Mckay are those 3 really ready?! 😈🗣️🗣️

Alex Ramirez

No way you're gonna spoil the name... SPOILER ALERT FOR THE GEKS: The Jinchuriki's (the ninja) name is ROSHI. Kishimoto picked the 4-tailed Jinchuriki as a Dragon Ball reference because the 4 star dragon ball is the most iconic dragon ball due to it belonging to Goku at the start of OG Dragon Ball. Gohan wears it on the top of his hat at the beginning of Z. Thats why he chose the 4-tails to be a monkey. Yes everyone knows that OG Dragon Ball was inspired by Journey to the West and gives Goku (Kakarot) the Japanese name for Sun Wukong. Not only that, you spoiled the name of the tailed beast which is a huge spoiler because it's revealed in a big moment of the story.

idcjayyy

I'm not ready for episodes 125-175. Has to be one of the greatest episode/chapter runs in animanga history. And these next 2 episodes are pretty enjoyable as well. The whole story comes together at this point and defines what the next 200+ episodes of Naruto truly are. Dare I say.. We've reached the long awaited peak 😪

idcjayyy

Don't mean to spoil but the jinchuriki's name is Roshi and the tailed beasts name is literally Son Goku so it's definetly a DB homage 😭

Marcus

Kishimoto and studio perriot cooked with this. I knew what happens and it still got me teary eyed.

Marcus

Clearly you guys have been watching two piece because every highlighted character eventually gets their shine and non arc bound characters continue to as the story goes on

JAN NARUTO

"I believe the White Fang was a real hero." Damn, that line gave me goosebumps. That’s why I think Obito and Kakashi’s friendship was way deeper than Naruto and Sasuke’s at this point. Obito really knew how to hit a nerve, he was disappointed in Kakashi but still showed respect for his dad, even when touching such a sensitive topic. And all of that was shown in just two eps. It’s so heartbreaking to see Obito, once such a bright, energetic, and kind person, lying on the cold ground, barely speaking, dying under the rocks. Their generation was just built different.

Shadow

Yessir all caught up again. Wish we got more Naruto

Patriicia

I wanna say something but I cant. I almost choked

jblakk

I hope brig or one of the geks see this but there are later flashback arcs about Kakashi before naruto is born but after Obito that really flesh his character out. Like his relationship with itachi, guy, and yamato really helps paint the decisions he ends up making and why he does the bell test. I hope yall dont skip it when it eventually happens because its considered filler but its not really.

Karlsefni

Welcome back Shadow, it's been a while since I've seen you comment on a Naruto upload

Studio Geck

The disrespect to rock Lee is insane

AA

Bro that has nothing to do with DB. In japanese mythology, the king of monkeys is called Songoku

S0uL YgR

👏👏👏 I feel like it's become almost an obsession to figure out who's the top boss of the game ppl don't even enjoy the ride anymore

Alex Ramirez

Fun fact: The 4-tail Jinchuriki is a Dragon Ball reference. The most iconic dragon ball is the four star dragon ball. So Kishimoto made his name and tailed beast Dragon Ball references. You would know what his name and tailed beast looks like by now if you were reading the manga because they would sometimes attach character profiles to chapters/volumes.

Vallll

On top of that, he cannot turn the Sharingan off, which drains his chakra even more. Sakumo, Kakashi’s dad, never had any chakra issues. The moment the chakra blade broke was very symbolic, it shows how Kakashi has abandoned his dad’s way of fighting, and chose to elaborate his Sharingan skills to commemorate Obito.

AA

Please I'm not ready to cry 😭 haven't watched the video yet

kuza

kakashi chronicles yessssssssssssss

Marcus

😭

Alec Raatz

All I wish for is that us as a community as well as the geks that know, to not put expectations on arcs or episodes. Should let the ones who haven’t seen it experience it naturally like we all got to

Marcus

I guess it’s better the studio didn’t animate it straight away Becuase we got it with higher quality animation later.

Marcus

The reason people wanted you guys to start with Kakashi gaiden is because it was the first chapters of the manga after part 1(Naruto) had ended and then part 2(shippuden) began Immediately after it.

Ordinary Guy

We moved forward from here!

Vallll

RIP Obito.

Frizen

Not even 2 minutes in and Cannon says something ridiculous. Why is Kakashi wearing the mask? My guy, he's a NINJA LMAO 🤣

Enma

Kakashi got the sharingan, but he isn't an Uchiha, meaning he doesn't have the necessary bloodline to fully utilize the eye's abilities. This results in a higher chakra drain when using the Sharingan compared to a natural Uchiha, and limits his ability to access advanced techniques like the Mangekyo Sharingan without significant strain on his body. Which is why he is hospitalized everytime he uses it.

JoLen

It really sucks he died so early on. Would have been cool to see him as a Jonin / sensei later in the show

Leo

You put it perfectly

Alec Raatz

Bro na with all that wtf lol

José Salguero

so when it comes to power scaling I feel like people always think "if this character beats that character then that means he can beat this other character" but in Naruto I always liked that its not as simple and rather its more dependent on the situation, the goal of the characters and the preparation for the fight oppose to simply being " stronger"

Enma

Kakashi just received the greatest gift you could ever get, but at what cost... rip Obito

Karlsefni

Jack, I love your insight but For the love of subtitles - I would recommend not shifting your eyes/ entire body towards the Geks when you have something to say lol - I understand your at the end of the couch so you have to do so in order for Brig & McKay to hear you but in the proccess you sometimes miss good/important dialogue

idcjayyy

Oda does that all the time 😭 Rock Lee isn't forgotten, he's a side character

Vallll

The Orochimaru that Sasuke defeated lost all of his ninjutsu, whereas Kakashi was afraid of the Orochimaru who was at full power and was able to defeat the third Hokage. Even if A defeats B, and B defeats C, it doesn’t mean that A can defeat C. The power scaling in Naruto isn’t as straightforward as shows like Dragonball Z.

Marcus

That’s just Japanese for you, isn’t it. Majority of the words Kishimoto uses for character names in Naruto are just everyday words. Minato= Port (Tobira)ma= door (Hashira)ma= Pillar Naruto= fish cake Itachi= weasel Neji=screw Boruto= Bolt Kiba=fang Just wanted to throw those translations out there 😂

AV

Writer's skill issue

Marcus

Insane glaze 😭

TrueCrisp

true but it'd still be nice to see my boy

Leo

Rock Lee is overrated. What will he do with his taijutsu in shippuden 😂

Vallll

During Kakashi Gaiden, Kakashi was 12 (jonin) , while Rin and Obito were 13 (both Chunin). To answer Jack’s question, Uchiha don’t usually start with 2 tomoe. Obito is him! Minato had a wonderful squad: Rin who could perform an eye transplant surgery on the battlefield, Obito who starts off with 2 tomoe and has a strong determination, and Kakashi the prodigy who creates Chidori at age 12 and becomes Jonin.

Leo

Shippuden is full of mystery powers. He can't do anything with taijutau ( Guy is exception).

TrueCrisp

Rock lee was shown as one of the strongest characters in OG and was a fan favorite for a lot of people but was completely abandoned for shippuden, rip my boy

Tomato

I'm sorry but I think the sensei's name is unknown at this point in the anime. So please consider hiding it!

Thomas

Obito is not just a character: he is a feeling, an emotion, a soul. Often at night, when I am lying down to sleep, I close my eyes and think of Obito lying alone on the cold, hard ground—one eye closed to the world, the other carrying his endless resolve—caught in the space between two worlds. My mind and body feel at ease, and I fall asleep. It is because Obito possesses such a love for his companions, Kakashi and Rin, his sensei, and the shinobi world itself, that he does not want them to suffer in any way. And so as his final act in this world, he sacrifices himself and bequeaths his Sharingan to Kakashi. By doing so, he does 2 things: firstly, he continues to live on as the guardian of his closest friend. Secondly, he is able to continue seeing through the fate of the world that he feels so deeply for. When I say that Obito lives on, I don’t just mean metaphorically. Obito is Kishimoto’s depiction of solipsism: the philosophical theory that one’s own mind/self is the only thing that can be known to exist. It is an idealist thesis stating that because “only my mind exists,” then it follows that “only minds exist.” In the case of Obito specifically, this is portrayed in the form of his Sharingan, which symbolizes his mind and will to love/protect the world. Even with his physical body destroyed, by giving his Sharingan to Kakashi, he continues to LIVE in this way. From this point on, Kishimoto’s pen is set ablaze, and there are layers and intersecting themes in his writing that I still cannot wrap my mind around despite having loved this show for so many years. He integrates philosophy into societal conflict on a unique level. And with the way he portrays it all through the depth of his story and characters—there is nothing like this. Obito is not just a character, he is the manifestation of pure, undying love—love that transcends the boundaries of life and death. And I love him endlessly. Rest among the stars🕊️🌌

Brig namedropping The Fourth's nickname right before it's revealed, thought he learned his lesson from the time he revealed Kurenai was pregnant prematurely 😭

Eiden Porter

Alex Ramirez

FYI this backstory happens during the timeskip of OG Naruto to Shippuden in the manga. I'm not really too sure why they decided to hold it off 100 episodes into Shippuden 🤷‍♂️
