Yes, because they had a theme song.

Only Chouji and Neji beat their opponents and both of them were in near-death conditions. Kiba, Shikamaru, and Lee were bailed out by the Sand ninja. Part 1 and a sparse few fights in Part 2 were good at managing power levels and showing how character's unique power sets needed to be used to beat opponents who outclassed them in raw strength.

One of the best ones of the Part 1's openings.

Man Naruto was such a fuckin hype fest in its early stages

Chounin exams legendary

>Kabuto 1v1'ed Tsunade

Music aside, that OP's animation was pretty good.

Fuck off Narutards

They had to deal with jonin first. And then gaara, kankuro and temari had to rescue them.

Look at this shithead.

No basically any chuunin should wreck a genin in a fight. I loved the Haku fight because it showed you needed a power boost to take on a chuunin level opponent.

Fuck off cancer

Naruto was always a mess with powerlevels. It got just a bit more realistic at the beginning of Shippuden but after Pain it became even more bullshit than part 1

> protags inferior in every regard to opponent beats them in asspull
> i hope that gets old eventually
kek

Pain. The name of the character was the foreshadowing for audience reaction.

its like you didnt even watch what was going on

Tsunade was always shit-tier.

While Naruto was terrible in so many ways, I did really enjoy some of the early openings and endings.

Neiji deserved to beat his opponent. He'd been hyped up quite a bit. Chouji honestly should have died and I'll admit that was a bit of an asspull, though they had been hinting for awhile that he was actually pretty strong.

All of the other ninja ended up losing and only survived thanks to reinforcements coming in and saving them.

Naruto is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal user can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad. However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the jutsus, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole ninja faggotry and everything about the Naruto world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up. Naruto is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to Sup Forums, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every user to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Naruto threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here. That being said, AB is really great, but Nyaa.eu and BakaBT are easier to get into.

Get out

What an edgy faggot

Well either way it was still a good arc with a lot of good fights
It's something lost the longer it run, tthe strategy, from both side of the fight
Kiba retreat using his coat to lure his opponent for example
It felt real, like the characters actively trying to survive and find a way to win
Naruto was a real good shonen back in the days

Before they even reached wave Sasuke beat one of the demon brothers who were both chunin level.

ich bin ein pozzhahnrei, wollt ihr wissen was das ist

not on paper, but a lot of things go into battle. the sound 4 were cocky because they're just fighting against "Genin's". what they fail to account for was that Neiji and pills Chouji are pretty much past mere chounin level.

Honestly Sasuke retrieval arc is my favorite arc in Naruto, and easily one of the best shonen arcs ever. It has so many memorable moments and the best genin in the best fights of part 1. The sound ninja were all very interesting in their fighting styles and collaboration as well as one of my favorite characters, Kimmimaro, whose fight was one of the best in Naruto, and of course, the final fight with Sasuke and Naruto after nearly all of the crew that he set out with was on the brink of death.

The only bad thing is that everyone got healed and came out alright, some of them should have died or been seriously injured for how much they played up their dramatic "deaths".
Also, another problem was that they never built on the Hidden Sound village after this or any of Orochimaru's other subordinates and the sound ninja 4 never came back.
