Don't forget ninja weapons managed to actually corner Ootsutsuki momoshiki during his battle vs naruto and sasuke in Boruto ! So yeah they still have !
@@connorclemmons8698 Agree, Boruto is a rushed character with little to no character development and given hax with no explanation at his current state
@@estebanboudet9523 You're probably the manbaby who lacks basic thinking ability and confuses it with "strategy". All the so called strategy in OG is "You thought that was me, but I actually transformed into a dust particle under your foot". Original Naruto is one of the worst shows I have seen and that's objective.
the creators of boruto for some reason thought it was a good idea to just give the kids all the abilities of their parents with no training or reason other than they are their kids.
Naruto was always a prankster and mischievous (it’s actually a pun.....kitsune are known as mischievous pranksters who turn into beautiful women). So Naruto planning unpredictable traps is in character
@@MrKingYuji facts. Narutos brain is underrated because of how dense he is outside of battle. But I'd say naruto has one of the highest battle iq's in the show.
@@calisthetics One of my favourite high IQ naruto moments was when he parries the cloud ninja's sword, and then blocks the other ninja from unsheathing his sword with his elbow, and then summons a clone to catch the counter attack from the first ninja. It was so smoothly done lol.
Momoshiki fight had strategy. Just included some power boosts, I mean the tailed beast shown in the beginning of Naruto was a clear sign that there are gonna be nukes here and there.
The fact that Naruto and Sasuke have referenced this one strategy in multiple different ways in multiple different fights without evenbeingg together in some of them is amazing. Sasuke used a modified version against itachi, Naruto transformed himself into a rasen shuriken against pain. This one scene is incredibly important to their characters.
This is easily one of the best fights in Naruto. Despite all of the flaws and being drawn out, the fight is very well done. That final combo with the shuriken is, at the same time: - A character point for both Naruto and Sasuke, as they work TOGETHER instead of fighting or trying to one-up each other, dividing a plan that requires both of their strengths combined; - As said above, a combination os both characters main strengths: Naruto uses shadow clone and transformation, while Sasuke has his mastery of shuriken. It also shows Naruto's smarter side, as he is able to think of this technique, and shows that Sasuke is capable of team work, which is a suppression of their past weaknesses; - Their victory isn't defeating Zabuza, but rather freeing Kakashi. There was no way they could beat a jonin, even if he had his hands tied, however they could annoy him just enough that he could make a mistake and loose hold of the one guy in that place that could be a real threat for him. This solidifies the power levels and the disparity between a jonin and 3 genin; - Their combo is very well thought and never leaves the realm of possibility. Everything used is either well known at that point or within the expect for the series. There are no asspulls, there are no last-minute power ups, no new abilities, no hidden training; - The combo is also very well presented. When you see it at first the visuals on the fuuma shuriken being deployed seem like just a special-ish intro for a new weapon, but when watching it a second time you can see it is actually foreshadowing their tactic: the slow-mo effect isn't just an effect, it's the second shuriken being deployed behind the first. The pose with the shuriken at a clear angle to the camera and so on, it all works as a sort of "magic trick", pulling your perspective and attention away until the final reveal, for us and for Zabuza.
What do you mean his smarter side? Naruto wasn't smart academically, but his battle tactics were always extremely good(although not on shikamaru's level) The english dub made him sound and look so stupid
To be fair at this point Sharingan was only some Hipnosis and crazy kinetic seeming (the copy is nothing more than training to make some real time body language reading and decodification). He couldnt notice something Naruto and Sasuke did while making use of blind spots with this type of Sharingan from the early days.
@@williamkirklin6120Kakashi did say he doubted Sakura the most as far as being ready; he thought it was highly likely that she wouldn’t show up for the exam registration.
You know what angers me the most with late Shippuden and Boruto? It makes past ninjas feel weak in comparaison. During early Naruto, there was a definite scale of power and Zabuza was a very powerful shinobi that team 7 was only able to take down thanks to a great strategy. Nowaday, because the power escalation went way too high, Boruto could easily one shot Zabuza with his bullshit distance rasengan.
This is what got me the most as a kid. Seeing Naruto actually experiencing real fear before charging in with his naive but strong will to push himself beyond the limits of what others, but most importantly he thinks hes capable of. It made Naruto the most relatable protagonist to me growing up. A shame a great sense of that was lost over time in the series. Especially after the fight with Pain.
especily after suddenly they got reincarnated and destined to be a god by god, then suddenly there is a rabbit god who is more powerful than the sage of god. but actually the rabbit god is weaker than the new fucking god name isshiki. then what? isshiki is actually the weakest by god clan? or what? there are more powerful god? i remember og naruto is about ninja, strategic jutsu, not fucking god who is immortal and can't be damaged.
Naruto didnt feel fear no more during shippuden as hes already a full fledged ninja, the first encounter with zabuza gives him a reality check to what a ninja is and defines his ninja way.
Lol that’s different, they were lied to about the scope of the mission and ran into one of the former top dogs of the mist while being fresh out of the academy
@@Joshua_N-A If I remember right Team 7 was hired to guard the bridge builder from common thieves and bandits, no one was ever informed that actual ninja were trying to assassinate him. I think Kakashi said that it was given to them as a Rank C mission but with the true circumstances it was actually a Rank A mission which is supposed to be reserved for jonin.
Naruto felt like a completely different series back then. Zabuza and Kakashi, two Jonin, were considered to be among the best ninja in their respective villages. But when Kakashi got careless and Zabuza trapped him, his pupils had to work together to free their sensei, and it worked, because Zabuza underestimated them. Even the fight between Zabuza and Kakashi was very tame in comparison to the feats we see later on in this series. I remember how impressive it was when we saw Sasuke learn the chidori or the kage level combat between Orochimaru and Hiruzen. None of these fights from part 1 and early shippuden fit with the crazy shit we see later on in the series.
@@She-Devil94 I would rather watch that than this garbage pretending to be "strategy" which is all "Haha transformation Jutsu" "Look that was a fake clone so strategic". Original Naruto is complete garbage which was saved by Shippuden.
4:43 Back in primary school, all of my friends watch naruto and during recess we would like to play naruto. The rule is simple anyone can do any jutsu in the naruto world but they need to be able to say the jutsu name in japanese. I remember watching this episode back to back just so I could try to memorize what sasuke is saying and then when the time comes I take 4 pencils, stack em together, hold it in my left hand say "fuuma shuriken kagehousha" then slowly with my other hand I'd move the pencil so it will look like that the shuriken is opening. Then of course I throw it at them.
This is the kinda shit that got me I to the show. You didn't need a big ass power level, just some tools, a few ninja and a plan. It felt like I was watching actual ninja instead of Naruto ball z. Everything from the music, to the animation style, to the fighting. Boruto can't come close.
Well what actually got me to watch naruto although I am not so much of a huge fan of it as in I dont watch it as much was back then you felt like you were watching the equivalent of real ninjas something of this show back then was that it was special and it was mostly based on real ninja techniques and strategies I also loved how the balance was there with no insane power ups but I loved the jutsus but still I love the way the fights are animated till today because at least you can actually see them fighting and not just moving insanely fast you barely see thier hands although its really my brother who watches the show more I am not that into it as much as brother or cousin who also liled the show back when not that many people knew about naruto aka when it was new
look you can hate boruto and naruto shippuden all you want. But in Shippuden it was established that they were all training like hell, then gained massive power creep during the war. Obviously from a shounen series there will be power creep, and compared to literallly every other shounnen series it's powercreep was the most fair and still tried to keep it at a equilibrium to how strong the enemy is, while keep some level of tactics with art. Boruto is good, most are just to big of a fanboy for naruto to like it. They are kids with genuine talent, they have learned and are able to learn form the best, cause the best are still alive to teach them. They are inexperienced, even if their powerful. It has shown time and time again, how weak they really are even if they have all these amazing skills and jutsu. People hate on Boruto, cause they feel like he hasn't earned shit. That is literally the point of the series, he doesn't know anything, he is extremely talented and need to go on this journey. in retrospect, Naruto was a obnoxious kid who whined and whined, then did amazing things. Boruto is the same, except with a different personality and story. He is a kid who just doesn't understand what it means to be a ninja or the hardships that come with/from it. it honestly is a work of a art, for a sequal, a brilliant way to innovate a story and continue. It is by virtue the most accurate definition of a perfect sequel. It builds on the previous content, it creates its own story, it expands on the subject, it re-breathes previous established lore through character driven motives, previous content also shapes and builds future plot points and character development. If you don't like it, then your not a naruto fan, just a shonnen fuck boy.
Baba Jani so u saying naruto guy kakashi and bee vs obito wasn’t tactical Kakashi vs obito Naruto and sasuke vs madara Naruto and sasuke vs obito The entire 5 kage summit I’ll even go into boruto too
I miss the times when naruto was dark. Naruto classic did well at that, while naruto shippuden didn't do much about that. The Kakuzu and Hidan arc did very well being dark. Boruto on the other hand...
Just to highlight why I like this fight so much : It really put the training you undergo at the academy into action . We see Sasuke throw his Shuriken perfectly because he trained with Shuriken alot . We also see naruto throw his kunai perfectly ,highlighting the target practice training they did at the academy . Of course the shadow clone jutsu is a literal graduation test tool . And the best thing is showing how ninja fight with deception. This is seen in how Zabuza captured Kakashi and how Naruto and Sasuke freed him . It was simple but so much was going on
Oh my goodness the whole badassery that came with the original Naruto. Everything from the story down to choice of music during battles. This is how Naruto will always be remembered.
That wasn't totally his power. It's because of Naruto and Sasuke as well. But anyway, I still think Boruto series is shitty and can never be as good as this.
No he didn't kill him it was by naurto that gave him that big ass rasangan sorry if i spelled it wrong but bourto overall is just bad I like mommoshki vs naurto and sasuke that fight was clean

@@mehmetcemalbaranaltunal6702 thats because boruto is written like shit lmao, the theme of naruto was to overcome weaknesses and change destinies, being the underdog and rising to the top, not being the hokages son and being given the thickest obvious plot armor
@@notcomingbacktoEarthsome characters in Boruto are interesting... such as Shikadai, Inojin, Sarada, Himawari and Konohamaru's future... Still, the plot, new characters, current fights/battles, missions, the drawing of the characters itself is kinda shitty compared to Naruto. And oh, as well as the plot line sooo booring!

@@folliblanc2447 yeah but now boruto is, no u cant do that to isshiki he is a god, no ninjutsu can damage him, and u throw him a fucking kunai? lol u screwed boruto.
@@queueshit5137 yes throwing a Kunai at Isshiki works. It just depends on who’s throwing it. It has to be a full power Baryon Mode Naruto level character throwing because then it would be too fast for Isshiki to react to
Zabuza showed us that the world outside the leaf village was brutal and dangerous, crawling with deadly ninja and missing-nin. Back in the days before Naruto stomps everyone and the other villages are cool friends.
Naruto: Actual fights with ninja tools and strategies Naruto Shippuden: Strategic deployment of God level monsters and spamming a million jutsus Boruto:Heya ya aliens this is my rinne-Sharingan God mode Pro max super duper ultra Instinct final extreme kami chakra
Actually, the usage of strategy in Naruto Shippuden was even present in the war arc, like when Kakashi figured out how Kamui works, or like when Tobirama and Minato used Flying Raijin jutsu to teleport Naruto to Obito. It's just that the strategy wasn't used that much like in the first part, probably because the villains in War arc were so OP that they didn't even have to use it at all.
@@gabrielfarkas257 No, that's just how they justified it within the story, but it's still a far cry from what we'd seen before. The power level of the 'average' jonin was established quite well with the display of might from Zabuza and Kakashi. Then later on there are hundreds of dudes who can use mooncrash vaporization no-jutsu because their grandfather had a frog who had special eyes or something. Regardless of the explanations, it's still asspull bullshit.
I feel how nostalgia filling up my veins, warming up my heart by the memories from the time, when you breaching through the whole town from school and rushing in to your house on full speed to your tv and putting down yourself on the floor hearing this amazing voice of the first opening... And it feels awesome...
It’s sad to see that this fight is never considered one of the best Naruto fights in the series, since it wasn’t just a clash of brute strength, and the villain had a great backstory along with a good arch. This fight holds up as one of the best anime fights all time (in my opinion). Although this is early in Naruto I think it was the peak of the show, and really cemented the series as great.
This was the part where I fell in love with this anime. When Naruto says like write my name in your book that gives me goosebumps Everytime. Best anime for me.
To this time one of my top 5 favourite fights in the series. Just few things to appriciate: 1. The tension of Zabuza treat 2. The quick thinking and teamwork of Naruto and Sasuke 3. The fact that two kids wet for straight up kill ons Zabuza, you see that when Naruto aim for a HEAD of Zabuza, and i know they are kids but still point blank throw of knife from 2-3 meters in HEAD.
I thought that the Land of Waves arc and the early Chūnin Exams arc had a feel that got lost later on. Kinda like how One Piece lost its special feel after the East Blue Saga.
Boruto, where a mere genin fresh out of academy can tank a kage level threat. Amegakure being the antagonist would've been great, as to remind Naruto of his broken promises. Disclaimer, I haven't Boruto properly yet but 200 episodes is kind of a drag.
Naruto and sasuke vs zabuza, a jounin Goal : freeing kakashi because they know they don't stand a chance Boruto, sarada mitsuki and kawaki vs boro, someone on the same level as hokage naruto Goal : saving naruto by killing boro, cause why not
Naruto lost to Jigen (who is far more powerful than him) and Boro was smashed by Borushiki which was actually Momoshiki that took control over him. What’s your point here?
@@mohammedhussain6585 "Who is far more powerful than him" Do you realize what you're saying? Lol. These characters just show up out of nowhere, suddenly being more powerful than the protagonist, then when asked how, no answers are said because there is no answer. The characters exist SOLELY for the protagonist to fight. Plot doesn't even matter anymore. This reminds me of Dragon Ball, when it was said that Frieza was the emperor of the Universe, then suddenly, more powerful characters just show up for some goddamn reason. Fuck Boruto. Boruto isn't canon because it isn't written by Kishimoto and that's a fact.
I was 15, when i began to watch naruto. I had tried many times in childhood to run like a ninja. Later it turned to be a awesome memories. Now I'm 24 still watching this wonderful strategic fight episode.
This is actually one of my favorites arcs, this really make it look like the character were growing and becoming closer by facing difficulties together. Naruto always had a well defined power cap all the way up to the "Sasuke leaving the village" arc, after that it just went all the way to the moon, quite literally, at the end of the anime the previous kages were actually looking pretty weak and Naruto/Sasuke to op
I think this kind of fights catapult Naruto into worldwide success, since most of the Anime at the time is about power-ups. Naruto is the only anime that use surprise tactics and strategy. I wish they stay consistent.
People here be like "ah the good old days of ninjutsu rather than literal kaiju", somehow forgetting that this wasn't that long before Naruto and Gaara fought using literal kaiju.
It doesn't matter if they do But still that felt like ninja fights using summoning jutsu. But in war arc it becomes DBZ and spirit bomb attacks which ruined naruto originality And I think instead of tailed beasts.. there should have evil spirits which is sealed inside naruto I mean evil spirits of ninja which tried to destroy whole village this would be even better than tailed beasts (my opinion)
The time where kakashi panicking, where naruto is naive and weak, where sasuke still scared, where sakura still a young lady, and now we have boruto.. how old am i?
Gotta love how kakashi emphasized teamwork and playing to one's individual strengths and Naruto boy here went and demonstrated both. He used his penchant for pranks and tricks to decieve Zabuza as well as his teammate Sasuke's insight and shuriken skill all to come up with an off the cuff plan not to defeat Zabuza as he might expect with the boastful talk but to free the Jonin that could(a ninja must see through deception). Its genuinely a damn good strategy and totally in line with what a real ninja would do in such a situation. Moreover it demonstrates that Naruto is not a loser or incapable of growth. But rather that he just needs someone to believe in him and he can do incredible things. Kinda sucks how the series devolved into "my dyed energy nuke is stronger than yours" but ehhh. Can't win em all. I guess the series was never really about the fights themselves
I watched few minutes of this exact episode on TV when I was little. Then I had to go to a hostel in a different city for 7 years and there was no TV, no internet there. I came back, did engineering, got a job and I see this exact clip on youtube. I got a feeling that I've seen this somewhere. So I download the whole 900 episodes, 5 films of naruto and Shippuden. Best goddamn decision I ever took.
This is what drew me to Naruto so much the fact that he was so outmatched and he knew it yet he would never give up. Man the headband scene still gives me chills
You know, while I'm a more recent fan of Naruto (I introduced myself to the series back in December of 2019), it's moments like this that made me want to see more of how the Naruto storyline would play out, since unlike DBZ for the most part, battles weren't just about having a higher power level or punching the hardest---you actually had to OUTWIT the enemy, as if a war was being fought. In other words, I felt as though the battles were generally more intelligent than one of the fathers of Shonen anime, as great as it was.
If Naruto were to follow video game mechanics, jutsu like the suiryuudan and Sasuke's goukakkyu would consume a lot of chakra and they would be used cautiously due to being advanced jutsus.and team 7 would resort to tactics, basic ninjutsu and genjutsu and doing a lot of taijutsu.
Okay, I will join the people saying THIS is what got them into Naruto. This is what got me into Naruto. I hadn't read the manga and knew nothing about the series and honestly, I like it how back then you had the feeling that some important character might die, like when Sasuke was almost killed by Haku. You knew they had the superpower of being a main character, but there was still some type of tension that made you wonder "but what if they DO kill them off?". But then they added "main character resurrection no jutsu" and it took away a lot of the series' charm, not to mention how it all became about flashy, colorful jutsus and brawn over brain.
this episode has been in my head through every series of this anime, even compared to other's from its time, i don't think the hype i got from this as a child can be beat
Watching this scene makes me remember all the training Naruto did in throwing kunais. He sucks at it and always miss, but because he keep training without giving up he become good at it. Whatever ability you want to learn you can, and it doesn't matter if you aren't good if you train you will become good.
This was the find of fight that made Naruto special (for its time) these sort of quick shadow boxing matches of wit and fortitude, which I loved, much more than the giant Kaiju battles we would get towards the end, still good but this was PRIME
Naruto: has a demon fox who destroyed the hidden leaf in him Hidden leaf: we hate you for something you didnt do! Boruto: has alien god who can solo all the kage inside him Hidden leaf: Hello lord 7th's son
@@unreal4good367 tbf Naruto has an order to kill boruto if he gets out of hand plus idk if the whole village knows abt boruto being a vessel for momoshiki
Stuff like this was why I loved this series because it made every character have to actually be strategic. Not like later on when it just became DBZ and they could spam giant attacks.

The fact that Naruto and Sasuke have referenced this one strategy in multiple different ways in multiple different fights without evenbeingg together in some of them is amazing. Sasuke used a modified version against itachi, Naruto transformed himself into a rasen shuriken against pain. This one scene is incredibly important to their characters.
Yep ⚡
And the one in the momoshiki fight which was a combination of both
I never realized the pain and Itachi parts so thank you. My appreciation for this series is deepened
This is easily one of the best fights in Naruto. Despite all of the flaws and being drawn out, the fight is very well done. That final combo with the shuriken is, at the same time:
- A character point for both Naruto and Sasuke, as they work TOGETHER instead of fighting or trying to one-up each other, dividing a plan that requires both of their strengths combined;
- As said above, a combination os both characters main strengths: Naruto uses shadow clone and transformation, while Sasuke has his mastery of shuriken. It also shows Naruto's smarter side, as he is able to think of this technique, and shows that Sasuke is capable of team work, which is a suppression of their past weaknesses;
- Their victory isn't defeating Zabuza, but rather freeing Kakashi. There was no way they could beat a jonin, even if he had his hands tied, however they could annoy him just enough that he could make a mistake and loose hold of the one guy in that place that could be a real threat for him. This solidifies the power levels and the disparity between a jonin and 3 genin;
- Their combo is very well thought and never leaves the realm of possibility. Everything used is either well known at that point or within the expect for the series. There are no asspulls, there are no last-minute power ups, no new abilities, no hidden training;
- The combo is also very well presented. When you see it at first the visuals on the fuuma shuriken being deployed seem like just a special-ish intro for a new weapon, but when watching it a second time you can see it is actually foreshadowing their tactic: the slow-mo effect isn't just an effect, it's the second shuriken being deployed behind the first. The pose with the shuriken at a clear angle to the camera and so on, it all works as a sort of "magic trick", pulling your perspective and attention away until the final reveal, for us and for Zabuza.
You brought up good points. This battle showed naruto and Sasuke overcoming their weaknesses (battle smarts and teamwork respectively)

Bro even Kakashi who HAS THE SHARINGAN was like "what the hell did my genin just DO???"
To be fair at this point Sharingan was only some Hipnosis and crazy kinetic seeming (the copy is nothing more than training to make some real time body language reading and decodification).
He couldnt notice something Naruto and Sasuke did while making use of blind spots with this type of Sharingan from the early days.
Remember when there was blood? Boruto hasn't even seen blood.
well yes but if you see a fight between metal and r. lee metal coughs blood a bit.
Shin Uchiha fights had blood
Not tryna protecc boruto but the whole point of naruto being the hokage was that no young ones would have to see blood🤭

Facts 🔥
You know what angers me the most with late Shippuden and Boruto? It makes past ninjas feel weak in comparaison. During early Naruto, there was a definite scale of power and Zabuza was a very powerful shinobi that team 7 was only able to take down thanks to a great strategy. Nowaday, because the power escalation went way too high, Boruto could easily one shot Zabuza with his bullshit distance rasengan.
@*Floofy shibe* We like it or not, they made Boruto stronger and smarter than part 1 Naruto. So he might have given Zabuza a run for his money.
*Floofy shibe* boruto would clap zabuza
*Floofy shibe* boruto would clap because boruto would honestly clap any1 in the seires
Think Zabuza lost cause his heart wasn't in it anymore. Haku seemed to be holding back vs Sasuke and Naruto.
Prof. Toast just like Naruto shippuden, sudently they are all god like people, I missed old Naruto
This is what got me the most as a kid. Seeing Naruto actually experiencing real fear before charging in with his naive but strong will to push himself beyond the limits of what others, but most importantly he thinks hes capable of. It made Naruto the most relatable protagonist to me growing up. A shame a great sense of that was lost over time in the series. Especially after the fight with Pain.
especily after suddenly they got reincarnated and destined to be a god by god, then suddenly there is a rabbit god who is more powerful than the sage of god. but actually the rabbit god is weaker than the new fucking god name isshiki. then what? isshiki is actually the weakest by god clan? or what? there are more powerful god? i remember og naruto is about ninja, strategic jutsu, not fucking god who is immortal and can't be damaged.
Naruto didnt feel fear no more during shippuden as hes already a full fledged ninja, the first encounter with zabuza gives him a reality check to what a ninja is and defines his ninja way.
Kakashi: RUN!!!
Also kakashi: those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum
Might be a test again
Lol that’s different, they were lied to about the scope of the mission and ran into one of the former top dogs of the mist while being fresh out of the academy

@@Joshua_N-A If I remember right Team 7 was hired to guard the bridge builder from common thieves and bandits, no one was ever informed that actual ninja were trying to assassinate him.

@@kiko8787 sure-I-Can
Naruto felt like a completely different series back then. Zabuza and Kakashi, two Jonin, were considered to be among the best ninja in their respective villages. But when Kakashi got careless and Zabuza trapped him, his pupils had to work together to free their sensei, and it worked, because Zabuza underestimated them. Even the fight between Zabuza and Kakashi was very tame in comparison to the feats we see later on in this series. I remember how impressive it was when we saw Sasuke learn the chidori or the kage level combat between Orochimaru and Hiruzen. None of these fights from part 1 and early shippuden fit with the crazy shit we see later on in the series.
Thank god they don't fit with these fights, because these fights are complete borefest unlike what we saw later in Shippuden.

Back in primary school, all of my friends watch naruto and during recess we would like to play naruto. The rule is simple anyone can do any jutsu in the naruto world but they need to be able to say the jutsu name in japanese. I remember watching this episode back to back just so I could try to memorize what sasuke is saying and then when the time comes I take 4 pencils, stack em together, hold it in my left hand say "fuuma shuriken kagehousha" then slowly with my other hand I'd move the pencil so it will look like that the shuriken is opening. Then of course I throw it at them.
that’s badass mate
Real badass lad right here
What a mad lad
Pro gamer move
This is wholesome bet youdont do it again with the tail beast bomb and throw a fire work at your friends
This is the kinda shit that got me I to the show.
You didn't need a big ass power level, just some tools, a few ninja and a plan. It felt like I was watching actual ninja instead of Naruto ball z.
Everything from the music, to the animation style, to the fighting.
Boruto can't come close.
Back than when Ninja is all about technique and not just some power clash ...
Did you fuckin say Naruto Ball Z??
That’s pretty accurate
Boruto can't come close bc it's all about who makes the most powerful jutsu without proof of training
Well what actually got me to watch naruto although I am not so much of a huge fan of it as in I dont watch it as much was back then you felt like you were watching the equivalent of real ninjas something of this show back then was that it was special and it was mostly based on real ninja techniques and strategies I also loved how the balance was there with no insane power ups but I loved the jutsus but still I love the way the fights are animated till today because at least you can actually see them fighting and not just moving insanely fast you barely see thier hands although its really my brother who watches the show more I am not that into it as much as brother or cousin who also liled the show back when not that many people knew about naruto aka when it was new
look you can hate boruto and naruto shippuden all you want. But in Shippuden it was established that they were all training like hell, then gained massive power creep during the war. Obviously from a shounen series there will be power creep, and compared to literallly every other shounnen series it's powercreep was the most fair and still tried to keep it at a equilibrium to how strong the enemy is, while keep some level of tactics with art.
Boruto is good, most are just to big of a fanboy for naruto to like it. They are kids with genuine talent, they have learned and are able to learn form the best, cause the best are still alive to teach them. They are inexperienced, even if their powerful. It has shown time and time again, how weak they really are even if they have all these amazing skills and jutsu.
People hate on Boruto, cause they feel like he hasn't earned shit. That is literally the point of the series, he doesn't know anything, he is extremely talented and need to go on this journey. in retrospect, Naruto was a obnoxious kid who whined and whined, then did amazing things. Boruto is the same, except with a different personality and story. He is a kid who just doesn't understand what it means to be a ninja or the hardships that come with/from it.
it honestly is a work of a art, for a sequal, a brilliant way to innovate a story and continue. It is by virtue the most accurate definition of a perfect sequel. It builds on the previous content, it creates its own story, it expands on the subject, it re-breathes previous established lore through character driven motives, previous content also shapes and builds future plot points and character development. If you don't like it, then your not a naruto fan, just a shonnen fuck boy.
The Zabuza arc is entertaining as hell. The thrill, excitement and suspense hooked me up with the show in the first place.

Perfect 😂
Just to highlight why I like this fight so much :
It really put the training you undergo at the academy into action .
We see Sasuke throw his Shuriken perfectly because he trained with Shuriken alot .
We also see naruto throw his kunai perfectly ,highlighting the target practice training they did at the academy .
Of course the shadow clone jutsu is a literal graduation test tool .
And the best thing is showing how ninja fight with deception. This is seen in how Zabuza captured Kakashi and how Naruto and Sasuke freed him .

Accurate
Not even true
Actually, the usage of strategy in Naruto Shippuden was even present in the war arc, like when Kakashi figured out how Kamui works, or like when Tobirama and Minato used Flying Raijin jutsu to teleport Naruto to Obito.
It's just that the strategy wasn't used that much like in the first part, probably because the villains in War arc were so OP that they didn't even have to use it at all.
@@gabrielfarkas257 One of Naruto's smartest moments was realizing Juubito's weakness at the same time as the second Hokage. Maybe even before him.
@@gabrielfarkas257 No, that's just how they justified it within the story, but it's still a far cry from what we'd seen before. The power level of the 'average' jonin was established quite well with the display of might from Zabuza and Kakashi. Then later on there are hundreds of dudes who can use mooncrash vaporization no-jutsu because their grandfather had a frog who had special eyes or something. Regardless of the explanations, it's still asspull bullshit.
I feel how nostalgia filling up my veins, warming up my heart by the memories from the time, when you breaching through the whole town from school and rushing in to your house on full speed to your tv and putting down yourself on the floor hearing this amazing voice of the first opening...
And it feels awesome...
It’s sad to see that this fight is never considered one of the best Naruto fights in the series, since it wasn’t just a clash of brute strength, and the villain had a great backstory along with a good arch. This fight holds up as one of the best anime fights all time (in my opinion). Although this is early in Naruto I think it was the peak of the show, and really cemented the series as great.
I agree
we got the first demon fox in this arc, i was shivering in excitement when i saw it first in my childhood
“At your age my hands were soaked with blood”
Kakashi: mood
This was the part where I fell in love with this anime. When Naruto says like write my name in your book that gives me goosebumps Everytime. Best anime for me.
After all those years, still getting goosebumps. Sweet memory lane. The sole reason that I watch Naruto.
This was the moment when i realise that Naruto is not a ordinary anime...
To this time one of my top 5 favourite fights in the series. Just few things to appriciate:
1. The tension of Zabuza treat
2. The quick thinking and teamwork of Naruto and Sasuke
3. The fact that two kids wet for straight up kill ons Zabuza, you see that when Naruto aim for a HEAD of Zabuza, and i know they are kids but still point blank throw of knife from 2-3 meters in HEAD.
I used to watch this show right on the dot at 5pm daily when it first came out... Then right to Karate practice after that. 🥋👍😅

@@Salieri01 shut up redditor
Boruto cannot bring back the OG feel of the original Naruto. The music, the dialogues, this was a masterpiece.😀👍👍
I thought that the Land of Waves arc and the early Chūnin Exams arc had a feel that got lost later on. Kinda like how One Piece lost its special feel after the East Blue Saga.
Boruto, where a mere genin fresh out of academy can tank a kage level threat. Amegakure being the antagonist would've been great, as to remind Naruto of his broken promises. Disclaimer, I haven't Boruto properly yet but 200 episodes is kind of a drag.
Naruto and sasuke vs zabuza, a jounin
Goal : freeing kakashi because they know they don't stand a chance
Boruto, sarada mitsuki and kawaki vs boro, someone on the same level as hokage naruto
Goal : saving naruto by killing boro, cause why not
Lol true
Naruto couldn't have done shit, he was weak so they had to save his ass
Naruto lost to Jigen (who is far more powerful than him) and Boro was smashed by Borushiki which was actually Momoshiki that took control over him. What’s your point here?
@@brandon1234 well i mean the show is named boruto and and not naruto anymore lmao
@@mohammedhussain6585 "Who is far more powerful than him"
Do you realize what you're saying? Lol.
These characters just show up out of nowhere, suddenly being more powerful than the protagonist, then when asked how, no answers are said because there is no answer. The characters exist SOLELY for the protagonist to fight. Plot doesn't even matter anymore.
This reminds me of Dragon Ball, when it was said that Frieza was the emperor of the Universe, then suddenly, more powerful characters just show up for some goddamn reason.
Fuck Boruto. Boruto isn't canon because it isn't written by Kishimoto and that's a fact.
I was 15, when i began to watch naruto. I had tried many times in childhood to run like a ninja. Later it turned to be a awesome memories. Now I'm 24 still watching this wonderful strategic fight episode.
It's rare to find Naruto videos don't don't have 2,365 cuts in them. Thank for uploading this one
This is actually one of my favorites arcs, this really make it look like the character were growing and becoming closer by facing difficulties together. Naruto always had a well defined power cap all the way up to the "Sasuke leaving the village" arc, after that it just went all the way to the moon, quite literally, at the end of the anime the previous kages were actually looking pretty weak and Naruto/Sasuke to op
Power cap was a thing up to the Great War imo
Second that
I think this kind of fights catapult Naruto into worldwide success, since most of the Anime at the time is about power-ups. Naruto is the only anime that use surprise tactics and strategy. I wish they stay consistent.
People here be like "ah the good old days of ninjutsu rather than literal kaiju", somehow forgetting that this wasn't that long before Naruto and Gaara fought using literal kaiju.
Bro, I know I'm a little late, but just wanted to say...
THANK YOU!!!
It doesn't matter if they do
But still that felt like ninja fights using summoning jutsu.
But in war arc it becomes DBZ and spirit bomb attacks which ruined naruto originality
And I think instead of tailed beasts.. there should have evil spirits which is sealed inside naruto I mean evil spirits of ninja which tried to destroy whole village this would be even better than tailed beasts (my opinion)
The time where kakashi panicking, where naruto is naive and weak, where sasuke still scared, where sakura still a young lady, and now we have boruto.. how old am i?

@@RaggenZ Far from it

@Chris Hmmm that might be true, But Boruto still garbage ;)

Maaan I got the same feelin when I first watched this 15 years ago.. thank you
Gotta love how kakashi emphasized teamwork and playing to one's individual strengths and Naruto boy here went and demonstrated both. He used his penchant for pranks and tricks to decieve Zabuza as well as his teammate Sasuke's insight and shuriken skill all to come up with an off the cuff plan not to defeat Zabuza as he might expect with the boastful talk but to free the Jonin that could(a ninja must see through deception).
Its genuinely a damn good strategy and totally in line with what a real ninja would do in such a situation. Moreover it demonstrates that Naruto is not a loser or incapable of growth. But rather that he just needs someone to believe in him and he can do incredible things.
Kinda sucks how the series devolved into "my dyed energy nuke is stronger than yours" but ehhh. Can't win em all. I guess the series was never really about the fights themselves
OG Naruto feels...different for the lack of better word. It's just power creep becomes off the scale later on in Shippuden.
Ahh, back then when ninja tools could at least make an impact to something. Poor Ten Ten.
I watched few minutes of this exact episode on TV when I was little. Then I had to go to a hostel in a different city for 7 years and there was no TV, no internet there. I came back, did engineering, got a job and I see this exact clip on youtube. I got a feeling that I've seen this somewhere. So I download the whole 900 episodes, 5 films of naruto and Shippuden. Best goddamn decision I ever took.
Can't imagine the level of pride Kakashi must have had in his students for turning the tides on such a dangerous opponent.
This is what drew me to Naruto so much the fact that he was so outmatched and he knew it yet he would never give up. Man the headband scene still gives me chills
OG Naruto will always be a timeless classic
This 6 minutes was better than the entirety of the 4th Shinobi war arc
I like how the Water Prison reformed Kakashi's hair like the wet cancelled out
That animation and art were brutal
You know, while I'm a more recent fan of Naruto (I introduced myself to the series back in December of 2019), it's moments like this that made me want to see more of how the Naruto storyline would play out, since unlike DBZ for the most part, battles weren't just about having a higher power level or punching the hardest---you actually had to OUTWIT the enemy, as if a war was being fought. In other words, I felt as though the battles were generally more intelligent than one of the fathers of Shonen anime, as great as it was.
If Naruto were to follow video game mechanics, jutsu like the suiryuudan and Sasuke's goukakkyu would consume a lot of chakra and they would be used cautiously due to being advanced jutsus.and team 7 would resort to tactics, basic ninjutsu and genjutsu and doing a lot of taijutsu.
Okay, I will join the people saying THIS is what got them into Naruto.
This is what got me into Naruto. I hadn't read the manga and knew nothing about the series and honestly, I like it how back then you had the feeling that some important character might die, like when Sasuke was almost killed by Haku. You knew they had the superpower of being a main character, but there was still some type of tension that made you wonder "but what if they DO kill them off?". But then they added "main character resurrection no jutsu" and it took away a lot of the series' charm, not to mention how it all became about flashy, colorful jutsus and brawn over brain.
The Land of Waves arc is the only thing worth watching in Naruto.
4:28
This scene was small but I remember getting so hyped when I saw this. Can't lie, I still get goosebumps.
this episode has been in my head through every series of this anime, even compared to other's from its time, i don't think the hype i got from this as a child can be beat
This was the mission that got people to watch the series even more!!
Watching this scene makes me remember all the training Naruto did in throwing kunais.
He sucks at it and always miss, but because he keep training without giving up he become good at it.
Whatever ability you want to learn you can, and it doesn't matter if you aren't good if you train you will become good.
This was the find of fight that made Naruto special (for its time) these sort of quick shadow boxing matches of wit and fortitude, which I loved, much more than the giant Kaiju battles we would get towards the end, still good but this was PRIME
Such a golden scene, never gets old
This is how Jonin fights, Forget Konohamaru and Udon of Boruto.
When that theme played at 4:40 I know you all got hit by a blast of nostalgia. The good ol' days.

Bad situation
This fight against Zabuza was what sold me on naruto and anime in general
The most iconic combo from Naruto and Sasuke, and they still using it until now😂
I remember the first time I watched this. Zabuza was hell of a character. He gave Kakashi a run for his money
Naruto thought of the plan first. Sasuke just played along (to perfection)

Hidden leaf: Hello lord 7th
Naruto: has a demon fox who destroyed the hidden leaf in him

@@unreal4good367 tbf Naruto has an order to kill boruto if he gets out of hand plus idk if the whole village knows abt boruto being a vessel for momoshiki
Stuff like this was why I loved this series because it made every character have to actually be strategic. Not like later on when it just became DBZ and they could spam giant attacks.
Fuma Shuriken was so awesome
That fight was enough to tell you it was the start of a world of legend
Zabuza was the first time we felt what a serious naruto fight was like
I remember watching this on Toonami I couldn't wait for this show every Saturday night. Best addition with DBZ in my childhood
3:30 his Susanoo was already foreshadowed
The good times back when kunai was a dangerous weapon that could kill. Today's character literally bounce the knives with their skin

The power scale of Naruto world between first season of Naruto and the final season of NS is so un-proportional.
