Ask Sakura, who somehow emotionally manipulated herself to remain infatuated with Sasuke.
Because otherwise she'd have been a terrible woman and no, I will not let that go, ever.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!So...basically Naruto being raised by Eggman?
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!Hopefully it turns out as good as Seventh Horcrux.
I went back and read A Few Angry Words almost a decade after I first read it. I think the fact I had fond memories for this pretty mediocre story (which, to its credit, does do some interesting things) says a lot about younger me.
Also, I've just read about the last 60 pages. This thread is something interesting, and has really gotten me thinking of the Naruto series, its characters, the shonen and harem genres, the psychology behind said genres, Dragon Ball, and contemporary Japanese society.
What I'm getting at is, you guys make a man do a lot of thinking for a fan-fiction thread about an orange ninja.

Not sure I 100% agree but he makes a couple of good points.
Well, of course Naruto is stronger than people think. After all, people can't shatter walls by thinking at them.

Rather than smart, I'd prefer to be wise. It would let me be silly more often."Why Naruto is Stronger than People Think"
I dunno, man, I've seen people who think he can take Goku. People think he's way stronger than he actually is.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariOh Naruto only has a chance against end of Dragonball after his fight with Piccolo.
Nah, Naruto can totally take Radditz, and while difficult, he could probably take Nappa too - mostly because Naruto can and does fight smart sometimes - but he's screwed against anything onwards. That's when DBZ stops caring about having a coherent power curve.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariSeeing how most Naruto crossover fanfiction I've seen tends to have him owning any place he's sent to, all women included, I think the accusations of him being 'too weak' mostly come from Vs. debate sites instead.
Hey, better than fanfics that let him keep up with Super Saiyan Blues and Superman with a chakra boost.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!Jesus I forgot those exist.
I don't, they're hilarious.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariWait, what. I have to find these.
If I recall correctly, it was after Naruto got both Kuramas sealed into him during the fight against Madara; both Kuramas regained the level of power they had back when they were whole, then finally fused back into one full entity, turning into the Jūbi no Kitsune as well.
The stuff I said happened several chapters later, where Naruto teams up with Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta, Superman with a power boost from Kurama's chakra, and Yusuke using both his Mazoku form and his Sacred Energy, against Hades.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!Either that's Saint Seiya Hades (who, going by Informed Attribute powerlevel, would wreck them), or that person has no idea how powerful the greek gods actually were (actually not that powerful in the grand scheme of things).
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariIt's either him, Kid Icarus Hades, or DC Hades.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!It'd say when it comes to powerlevels Naruto may have the less average powerful warriors like Bleach or One Piece but its strongest fighters are very strong. Not saying they can necessarily beat the strongest in the other two, just that they're noticeably powerful.
Dead horse/mallet here, but, anyone want to explore that ancient idea about "Cell" being Orochimaru's creation and throwing a wrench into Part II solely through existing?
Basic notes were these:
- If Orochimaru can't have the perfect body, he'll just create one.
- Cell breaks out sometime after Sasuke kills Orochimaru.
- He eats people with Curse Marks - given that most of these people are dead, he can also absorb Jinchuriki, running parallel to Akatsuki's mission of bringing them in.
How do you emotionally manipulate yourself?
You gotta start somewhere.
