...from Akatsuki in just 3 chapters.
Pain and Konan are laughable. They make me think of them as fillers.

Seriously, I am a hardcore Akatsuki fan, and I had very high hopes for BH and especially AL (I called them this since I had great respect for them until their names were revealed).

Itachi and Kisame are so much pwnage when you compare them to the pair which is Konan and Pain. Actually, every single pair is/was much better. Zetsu alone is better than those two.

Akatsuki now seem like shit to me. Both in power and in their goal.
Sealing all those Bijuu's seemed like a badass thing to do to me, and the mysterious statue was pure win. Now we understand that the statue will actually be used as a nuke. I am sorry Kishi, but that's just bullshit to me. Mixing modern world with Narutoverse is such a fail.

Why would Kisame want wars to stop, again? Deidara? Itachi? Hidan? Anyone? As we understood in the first place, Akatsuki wanted to have a monopoly on war, not to cease wars.
How emo is of Pain to call himself Pain and a God.
I saw AL and highly intelligent and reasonable individual with a mysterious goal. I saw BH as his partner who actually organizes stuff and kicks some ass.

Tobi was pure win until he was revealed to be Madara, which is utter fail. Introducing a character like that just reduced the quality of many other characters in this story. We didn't need another Uchiha.

Hidan and Kakuzu were such a great pair, and they served as fodder.
Sorry to say, but Pain and Konan are lame for someone like Kakuzu or Hidan was. Even though Hidan had one jutsu, no background at all, was stupid and retarded, he was still much better character.

God? Angel? "That's cool." I though, until I heard Pain's speech in the last chapter. He is a real comedian, just like J-man said.
Such a lame excuse for an Akatsuki Leader.


Now, even when I know Pain will kill Jiraiya, I want Jiraiya to be awesome until he dies.
GO GO JIRAIYA! Kick some Akatsuki ass.

uchiha madara=tobi, a bad move.

and pain's AL goal is just lame just like shrike said. im expecting something more of a conspired,sinister,and badass answer from him rather than that because-of-the-death-of-a-friend-cliche thing. we've been there and done that so many times.0_o

I don't think so.

Pain looks lame and weak to you but only 'cause he's holding back. He didn't even used the rinnegan yet. Ok, AL using summonings was a bad idea, but let's wait and see.

Konan on the other hand is a lame weak bitch. The only reason she's teamed up with Pain is 'cause he knew her since they were kids.

Honestly, stop complaining. You choose to follow the series, if you don't like it, don't read it. People are too intolerant. All I ever see on this forum anymore are people complaining about "too many eye kekkei genkais," and the manga not going in the direction you hoped it would go. If you have so many ideas on how to make a great manga, start your own. People always complaining about how Jiraiya has ties to Pain and Konan. Why is that surprising? He's over 50 years old and the Ninja countries have been in several major wars in that time.

There's numerous threads on the topic of people being unsatisfied because they're not seeing what they assumed they might see and hyped those ideas up, only for them to not come true. Go post in those threads, and stop starting new ones. I don't know what the mods think, but it has gotten to the point that a thread like this is spam. Someone should make an "Official bitch about Naruto" thread.

I have to agree...Pein thinking of himself as a god and have world domination has been seen in many other anime...he utterly fails.

Hopefully Tobi/Madara will have better plans than the boring goal Pein has.

I hope Kishi is taking this shit seriously, hopefully he recieved thousands of petitions to not fuck up the story and kill off Akatsuki members too fast.

Yahiko's goal was to end all wars by causing wars. Kishi doesnt want to end all wars, Yahiko did and apparently Pein does. I havent read the new chapter yet so I'm just going off u. Kishi wants Naruto and the gang to stop Pein from doing this.

Even if Akatsuki just monopolized the war market, there would be no need for other shinobi so who is there to go to war with, unless all the remaing shinobi from all of the other villages go up against Akatsuki, otherwise there will be no money in being a shinobi. Not many would want to be one. Shinobi still have to eat, support their families.

the introduction ofGuns really killed off the ninja era. The governments with their guns, quickly killed of all men with swords and such weapons. Akatsuki are like the guns. They plan to be the need that noboby in the other villages need any shiobi, why so many shinobi are dead, and why noone wants to become a shinobi anymore. "If u cant beatem, joinem" "If u cant joinem, just quit.

I like Peins plans and goal. If the whole "Nuke" thing is tru, then that is a studid idea for this shinobi world, but I liek the idea of killing off all shinobi, literally and figuiretively, to bring peace. I did believe that it was the only way but now that I think of it, times are changing. If there are more Lords, princesses, prince's, like the ones Naruto has met and influenced on his travels, and more "NEW GENERATION" kages like Naruto eventually and Gara, and village relationships like the Sand and the Leaf, then Wars will eventually end. Pain has only known the Pain and cannot see what is already taking place in the shinobi world. He cannot let go of the Pain from his own life, and own past.

I knew this would happen all along. They were never going to live up to the hype... Cliches abound in most head-villain characters... 'I feel bad so I'll make others feel bad'. I think they need to read Daniel Goleman's book on "Emotional Intelligence"

bah. killing all shinobis so all the world will be in peace. bullshoot. gato and his badasss samurais were not shinobis yet they make the world suffer. Pain is likely an Emo masochist.

Look at the thing he summon, a chameleon, right, i bet that peircings on his chameleon was also done by him.

I bet that he used it to make the chameleon 'get used to Pain' so it wont be clinching when fighting. i bet that's also his piercings do, to make him get used to pain, to prevent him from clinching.

what a total emo masochist asshulz

Shriek i love that post it's amazing lol you are right al and bh are lame i rather have itachi al and kisame his secondary man.

Konan is useless peice of shit with her paper absoulutley the weakest member in aka not need to argue with anyone who can't understand that,they killed people like deidara sasori kaakzuzu hidan just for these 2 shits they should have ganged up in knocl them on their ass pain is telling a guy who is older than him roughly 23 years you are still a kid i can't even say nothing to that.

Pain and konan major failed characters and it would be a shame if kishi actually makes jiraiya go against them in this battle jiraiya is far to goo of a character strong,funny,caring,grwat teacher for him to lose to such lame ASS people is an embarassment at least let him die against madara or itachi i rahter that happen then him die against some lame loser who is sealling up all 9 bijju to stop war but what does anone from aka gain from this.

MajkY

i think Itachi and some others from Akatsuki have a plan against Pain in the end

smalec12

i think we should forgive kishi this chapter.if somone wait about 100 chapter to see aka leader that was introduce as a god and ubershinobi, ther is no way that this expectation will come true.And stop complaing about how weak pain and konan is.IN compare with jiraya all aka members are weak.If deidra would fight jiraya in his first fight no one would be impressed.Im sure konan would beat up gaara, sasuke and kakashi.She hadnt have a chance to show herself.I think that summoning skill is lame as well , but we must wait till pain stop to holding himself back and go to close combat.

I didn't say Pain is lame because his fighting style is shit, I am saying that his character and ideals as a whole are a huge disappointment.

Read the post again. I mentioned their goals and the idea of the Bijuu hunt more than their battle prowess.

Forum is made so people can discuss the anime/manga and share their opinions with others.
This isn't the place for everyone to praise and worship a manga/anime.
Everyone has their likes and dislikes, and, as I said, those people want to express their view.

Besides, saying shit like "Official bitch about Naruto" shouldn't be coming from your mouth as I saw you always bad mouthing Shippuuden, never saying a single positive sentence for an episode.

While your post is good, you should really read the chapter, because I made this thread because of it.

I don't think so. There would be no need to even capture the Bijuu if that's the case. They just have their own agendas.

-------

And guys, I didn't say Pain and Konan are weak, read the post please.
Mixing modern world wars with Narutoverse is just a failure in my eyes, that is all.

Thats why I only like Itachi in Akatski and....anyway if you think,kishi kill the first Akatski by his wish(Sasori)to made us believe Akatski is not unbeatable.....
but I really hate Tobi even he is going to be the strongest one,he is just an idiot for me!
but don't worry voices tell me Tobi/Madara trick Pain,to think that way and actually Tobi/Madara along with Itachi and maybe Zetsu(I doubt about him) have another secret!
but if kishi going to Nuclear things(lets kill him)
