Orochimaru was labeled a traitor because he abandoned the Akatsuki. Kakuzu wasn't labeled one because his partners were way less important to the group than he was, so Pein gave him more leeway.

What this guy said. The Atatsuki valued loyalty above all else. Kakuzu achieved his missions well and used his partners in order to achieve those missions putting profit above all else. Orochimaru on the other had completely went against the akatsuki so they disadvowed him.

>Kakuzu killed a bunch of his partners
Those were friendly fire, it's their fault for not surviving AOE attacks.

Because Orochimaru got his ass kicked like a bitch and Kakuzu wrecked shit and stayed loyal proving he's a valuable asset.

Did anyone get as blatantly and repeated shafted by the plot as Kakuzu did? There's a fucking dozen coincidences screwing him in 30 chapters and characters randomly surviving unharmed after getting hit by TWO explosion attacks.

Explain this
>Orochimaru wants immortality
>Never does any research on Hidan and Jashin

What the fuck was even the point of giving Kakuzu's background as some random ass village we never heard of before (yes, I know Hidan is even worse). The same waterfall village also had the fucking seven tails but we never learned shit about them by the end of the series. Would've been nice to have an arc dedicated to them.

Kakuzu was said to have fought with Hashirama. Then jobs to Naruto.

Fuck off Narutard

Hashirama and Tobirama PLUS Orochimaru lost to Hiruzen. I think that's even worse. At least Kakuzu just fought Hashirama and lost, and was old and already weary from fighting Team 10 and Kakashi.

You sure are desperate to keep your spam threads alive

Rent free, thanks for the bump btw

>Implying you didn't bump your dead thread yourself

>Hashirama and Tobirama PLUS Orochimaru lost to Hiruzen
Tobirama explicitly states that Orochimaru didn't bring them back at full power that time.

Kakuzu's cool, Orochimaru's a fool
/thread

how the fuck did this guy fought against the first hokage and not died?

Attached: fuck you I win no jutsu.gif (280x158, 855K)

Can Hidan die from old age?

Hashirama probably wasn't serious/or even didn't want to kill him.
But the right question to ask is how the Hell did Hashirama died?

We don't know, that's what Orochimaru would want to find out.

Ahhhh, I remember this scene

>Itachi somehow traps Orochimaru in genjutsu without looking at him

Thank goodness this scene was fixed in the ninja storm games

>we never get a penis size estimate for each akatsuki member
Ecksplane this

Has ANY piece of media that wasn't porn ever given a penis size estimate of all the characters?

That’s because Kakuzu is basically black. It would be racism if they expelled him.

he quit because he could not capture Itachi, what is it about these threads of people not understanding the simplest of plot points in Naruto

He did it before power creep really set in.

old age is a bitch.

Read somewhere that repeatedly regenerating after near death exhausted his natural life force.

probably some shit like heart failure

Orochimaru was a white man and thus was punished because Pein gave in to the left-wing society for attacking an innocent Japanese male. Kakuzu is a black man and thus gets a free pass no matter what he does because he's just trying to get his life together.

Kakuzu's partners didn't have a useful bloodline trait.

Did they ever give a definite answer on whether Hidan is still alive dismembered under all the rubble?

Why didn't Itachi kill Orochimaru when he had the chance? He had the perfect excuse: self-defense and the fact that Orochimaru was planning on betraying Akatsuki, and that's one less terrorist that Konoha has to worry about.
For a supposed double agent, he really sucked at his job, he never did anything that helped Konoha during his entire stay at Akatsuki. He in fact helped out this organization that threatens the Leaf quite a lot. Why did he even bother joining them?

Regenerating from Near death lessens life expectancy~T'snuade

Hidan is still alive.

Because he choose not to.

>t. Kakuzu

Kishimoto has to submit weekly, there's bound to be made shit up along the way in every shonen because of this.

I’m starting to think that Itachi lied.

Heart broken because the death of his girlfriend (male).

The powercreep wasn't firmly established. Kakuzu was weaker than the First but wasn't considered (at the time) to be magnitudes weaker. That's why no one called bullshit when he mentions it, since Kakuzu during that arc was better than all the ninja sent to kill him...they could fathom that he was probably strong enough to at least survive an encounter with the First.

If the First was as strong as the powercreep made him rather than during the earlier Shippuden arcs then everyone would've called bullshit on Kakuzu.

He can die of malnutrition.

Hidan was the only survivor in the Jashin test,all the other people who practiced jashin died. Oro didn't want to risk it when he already is pretty much immortal.
Or maybe he was looking into it,who knows.

>Kakuzu
>Brings highest profit for Akatsuki out of all members
>Sasori
>Maintains intelligence network of Akatsuki through many sleeper agents
>Orochimaru
>Disloyal, has several side-projects unrelated to Akatsuki, suggested to Jiraiya that they should just kill Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan when they were kids, when they asked Sannin to be trained in ways of the ninja
Nagato never liked Orochimaru.

the ring.

In fairness, unlike Sasgay Itachi has ACTUAL genjutsu skill, it's not just his sharingan. He's capable of using real high level genjutsu that don't involve his eyes.


As for why Oro got booted, it's because:

1: He had clearly been planning this, he was using the Akatsuki to get closer to itachi.. Kakuzu just killed his partners in friendly fire when he got too pissed off.

2: Orochimaru left the organization entirely after his attempt failed, further illustrating that he only joined to get at Itachi and other resources and never held any sort of loyalty to them

You know Kakuzu is pale as fuck, right?

that dark skin shit is only when he's using his earth armor. his normal skin color is basically albino, and he has long hair.

Besides everyone knows all the black people in Naruto live in Cloud village

KIshimoto confirmed that Hidan died of Malnutrition in an interview.

Itachi being a double agent was set up from the start and KIshi confirmed it in an interview,Him having Amaterasu(black inextinguishable fire, which is symbolic of hate) is proof.

It's a story for kids, laddie.

Which is a pointless argument because the series lasted for 15 years. people that were 10 when they started reading it were 25 by the end.

And the series clearly intends you to stick with it from the start as it has a single continuous story, it's not like pokemon or whatever that just resets after each season to get new kids in.

Thus, by the end, it was intended to be read by adults.

First of all, that implies the hack could write a story for adults. Second of all, why change a working formula.

This. Or as is more commonly said: The Chad Kazuko vs The Virgin Orochimaru

KIshi wrote a mafia manga which was a 11/10 for a one shot. I was waiting for him to continue it after Naruto.

Mario, yea. instead we get Samurai instead of ninjas.

Kishi's creativity is dead.

Power Creep starts leaking in the next arc user.

Kishi wanted Naruto to be a Samurai manga from the beginning, so that’s even worse.

Orochimaru joined Akatsuki with the ulterior motive of killing Itachi

Kakuzu was loyal to the Akatsuki Agenda.

No. It's also bullshit because Kakuzu is one of the very few (before the power creep) truly powerful characters who are also well-balanced. He's pseudo-immortal, smart and experienced as fuck, has incredibly destructive straight-forward jutsu while also being able to pull off surprise and combi-attacks with his hearts, and between his physical strength and his threads he's an absolute nightmare in close combat. I think his defeat was the most blatant show of plot armor besides maybe Deidara and Sasori.

No, he wanted it about magicians, but editors suggested making it about ninjas with magic skills.

>Kakuzu was loyal to the Akatsuki Agenda.
He was loyal to money. He was never loyal to any kind of agenda ever since he left Takigakure.

Loyalty is to the Daimyo not your fellow nin-nins.

Ninjas are loyal to the kage and their village, they clearly couldn't give less of a fuck about the Daimyo.

>six katanas

He fought Hashirama back when the 3rd. was suppose to be considered the strongest hokage.

Nah man Kakuzu isn't pale, but he's certainly not black either. He's kind of tannish.

Attached: Kakuzu's going Over.gif (400x226, 933K)

Kishi seriously wrote himself into a corner

Nah he kept hyping up Madara further and further and so he had to make sure Hashirama was strong so it would be feasible that he beat Madara.

That definitely smells like some shit to cover up the horrendous powercreep.

Nah it was stated during their fight I'm pretty sure too. Hiruzen mentioned they weren't as strong as they were when he knew them. Although, this was also when Hiruzen was called the God of Shinobi and considered the strongest Hokage.

Reminder that the series never explained why Madara, Tobi, Nagato and Sasuke were wrong about the ninja world and instead relegated everything to the "Circle of Hate" meme that made Naruto correct by default with no evidence required. Naruto then goes onto do nothing but live out his childish fantasy of being the Kage of a deeply corrupt system that has been responsible for nothing but war, genocide, death, poverty and child soldiers, and everyone is okay with this for no reason.
Boruto only further proves that Naruto is a sociopathic egomaniac that is happy as long as he gets to live out his childhood dream.

Why didn't Orochimaru ever bring up the Rinnegan or "Yahiko" having it around Jiraiya? He could have screwed Akatsuki over by dumping that information.

By then he wasn't in contact with Jiraiya.

They fought when Jiraiya and Naruto were looking for Tsunade.

>could have screwed Akatsuki over by dumping that information.
How so? Why would anyone care that Pain and Konan were orphans from Rain village and had friend named Yahiko?

Jiraiya would definitely care.

>tfw we never see prime Hiruzen

I doubt Orochimaru was thinking about the Akatsuki while he was busy trying to kill his former teammates.

It's a mark of old Naruto fan

Destruction of the Sept of Baelor was an accident

based hackshimoto

I need the compilation of Naruto's promises that never came into fruition like promise to Neji to change the Hyuugas

His main promise was to bring peace to the shinobi world. He failed miserably, or didn't even attempt.

I just want an Akatsuki spinoff like the Kekashi Gaiden thing but for each member/pairing.

Probably this or cancer.

it's old German for Pain

Orochimaru left because he wasn’t strong enough to steal Itachis Sharingan

how does the ring help?

How so? The Boruto universe is peaceful and that's why it's boring

>Orochimaru is free
>Elders that helped plan the Uchiha genocide still in power
>Child soldiers still a thing
>Kabuto free
>Sasuke free
I'd say that it's peaceful in the sense that nothing major is happening, however he brazenly doesn't try to change anything that caused all the problems in the first place

>>Elders that helped plan the Uchiha genocide still in power
Fuck, this is true? I wish Konoha had King's Landing treatment via Sasuke

Yeah they're still there. Naruto doesn't listen to them in decision making, but they're still very much alive and present.

Sasuke got really cucked

It’s his punishment for being a cunt.

You just know that Naruto would be carrying that many because he thinks it would look cool.

>Uchihas confirmed to be psychotic power-hungry autists that were planning ANOTHER coup
>somehow the people that stopped that were at fault
I wonder who's behind these posts.

Friendly reminder that if we keep all the hype canon, the strongest character is Hype Prime Hanzo:
>Hiruzen was the strongest Hokage
>Hiruzen was the strongest of Five Kage
>Hiruzen trained Jiraiya, therefore Jiraya knew Hiruzen's strength
>Jiraiya said that Hanzo was the strongest shinobi he has ever met
>Nagato killed Hanzo that was out of prime and his blade dulled

>Elders that helped plan the Uchiha genocide still in power

You say that like its a bad thing

Senjews were the true villians.

I'm pretty sure the Hyuga did change though.

He had it all in terms of hype.
>cool look
>cool weapon
>good voice
>unique summoning
>poison breath
Just got shafted because he was dead by the series beginning. I'd love to see a prequel filler about the fight he had with the Sannin and the other Konoha ninja in the area.

It was never addressed. The main family just got more power via Hokage position

Hiashi stopped being a cunt though, and I doubt he'd keep enslaving the branch family with what he learned from his experiences with Neji.

Prequel gaiden series about various characters is what we should get instead of a sequel.

I agree.
