I'm screaming at Hinata and Sakura's hairstyles.

I had many good memories of Naruto but that god awful ending + The Last Movie made me STRONGLY dislike this series. Part 1 will forever hold a place in my heart though. So without further ado my rant:
The Last Movie is trash and had to make a bunch of filler stuff to make NaruHina happen and none of the stuff happened in the manga. Hinata was never the first person to acknowledge Naruto as it was Iruka which the manga specifies but "The Last" made it out to be Hinata who was the first person by making up filler stuff rendering all of the facts in the manga useless. This story is full of massive plot holes and Uchiha wanking.
Sasuke and Sakura relationship is trash and Sakura is trash for going with him. Naruto is disgusting for ignoring his son and treating him no better than how he was treated when he was a child. Hinata is trash for allowing Naruto to do this. I mean girl grow a ****ing back bone.
Also, Hinata was never anything in Naruto's life. She had maybe three genuine conversations with him in the manga and her biggest moment was when she stupidly rushed a foe who was way out of her league and found herself immediately shut down in hilarious fashion. She's a bizarre anomaly in fiction in that she's the "victorious love interest", yet she not only did little to nothing through the course of the manga, but she had little real development and even less time on panel. There was no set up at all. They had to go so far as to use an entire anime film - the final one, even - to try and sell a relationship that, if you read only the manga, does not work.
She's like if Kazumi ended up with Yuji in Shakugan no Shana instead of the titular character. Actually, that may even be too generous a comparison. Kazumi was a similar "satellite love interest", but she at least had plenty of screen time. She couldn't really DO anything for most of the series and as such she just kind of orbited the greater goings on, but she was there and she had focus.
None of this should be a shock, though, because Naruto as a whole is awful at romance. Which... well, yeah, it was a shonen series, so that's not exactly a focus. But it still went to the well, so it's fair game. Hell, in the end it wasn't even any good at telling a grand action story, so...
Everything about the ending and post that is ALL around garbage.
To think I used to like Sakura(vomit) because she was so human and had tons of faults which could have been easily rectified but the author gave up on her because a lot of people hated her. When you're an author you don't give up on your characters and give into fan pressure. Hence why OP is still going strong. Naruto was subjected to the fandom's terror.

They really had something good with Gaara. The powers, the backstory, and all around good character, and then they ruin him.

The fact that his "perfect" defense has been breached more times then I can counted has always annoyed me  .

Since we're letting all out
I dislike weak depending always saved by someone or something out the blue like save me Tobi or Karing Sasuke ass.
So overrated.
I'm mad that it is seen like he could handled the Raikage, and I'm mad that his weak ass killed Deidara.
His eyes were nothing special til' he robbed Itachi's ones

@Notorious MINAJ > Oh, yes, lol. But like someone mentioned, the fact that a Naruto speech is all it took to make him reconsider his entire life purpose will never cease to impress me for how ridiculous it was.

Oh, and while we're at tell me how this story is supposed to be one with morals YET Naruto of ALL people let Orochimaru live long enough to be able to transfer into a female and give birth. How is he still alive? Tell me someone? It's like when he got married all sense went through out the window.

Right? She should have at least gotten the sage mode.
I fear for Sarada's life. She better be treated equally to Boruto and Mitsuki.

Anyways Gaara>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the lessors.

No. Weak personality, terrible policies informed by his weak personality, the only Kage not to really do anything of note other than let his village slowly get more ****ed. Compared to the other Hokage, what is he really known for? Hashirama had Wood Release/control of the tailed beasts/setting up the village, Tobirama had great Water Release and made lots of jutsu, Minato is well-known for his speed/tragic end and probably would have done more if he had the chance, Tsunade is a fantastic medical ninja, incredibly strong, and one of the Sannin...
What is he known for? Letting his student **** him over, letting loads of people in his village die, failing to keep them safe, and having to leave office because he let a war end with all the deaths being in vain? lmao okay. He's a nice person, but needed to grow a backbone and realise that some people are just ****ing horrible.

Outside of Team 7 she's strong but with Team 7 she doesn't measure up. If Kishi really cared about Sakura or any female she would've at least had something to keep her on par. In the end she never caught up to them like she wanted.

For a main character, Sakura was done horribly wrong and her "big" moment in the war should've happened ages ago.
She should've been given the Yin Seal at the beginning of Shippuden and from there, we could've seen her create new techniques and differiante herself from Tsunade more, like Naruto & Sasuke respectively.
I mean...we could've saw brand new medical techniques from her, more Genjutsu, her own personal summon (as much as I love Katsuya, I found it cheap how she had the exact same summoning as her master), and through her, we could've explored more on the home of the slugs and learned more about the background, thus her learning sage mode. Theres no reason we saw Sage mode for the Toad & Snake, and yet, the slugs are just sitting on the sidelines. Like...there was SO much he could've done with her.
Monster strength + Medical Ninjutsu + Summoning + Genjutsu + Yin Seal + Slug Sage Mode. I mean...what kind of force?
I will never forgive Kishimoto for ruining my favorite character and the MAIN FEMALE PROTAGONIST of the series.

I would've made Sasuke a good character who is trying to fight against his evil instincts, and made Sakura the main evil villain tbh. She clearly had problems, they should've gone down that route more instead of playing it for comedy and basically dropping it.

Hell, she had potential back in part 1. The moment he mentioned she had a natural affinity for Genjutsu, she should've became proficient in that particular area. That would've gave her a good advantage, and it would look good cause she would be the only one on her team (and of her class) to be skilled in that particular area.
Ugh. **** Kishimoto.

Oh my Last mini-rant:
Naruto said he was going to be hokage and change the way things are but if you all realize he never did ANYTHING as Hokage. Kakashi became Hokage and made small changes with Shikamaru as his adviser. According to the novels that were released, Shikamaru does all the work, while all Naruto does is nothing basically.
Then according to the "Hokage Inaguration" one shot manga he didn't even give a proper speech or actually show up at the event. Hinata let's him sleep in on his big day, his daughter knocks him out, and Konohamaru was in his place as a clone.
I thought Naruto would've made some heart felt speech but noooooo the whole one shot was a joke.

Maybe I'm biased because I love Sasori and was convinced he was Gaara's long lost twin and was responsible for killing their mother in childbirth despite all of the evidence against it, but I hated that entire arc apart from the whole thing with the explanation for his shield which was absolutely adorable

Which is why this story is horrible. Kishimoto has so MANY abandoned plot lines. We never found out about Naruto's OWN clan but instead it became all about the ****ing Uchiha( Itachi deserved BETTER) and Sasuke. The Uzumaki Clan and Senju needed more focus.
