Grinding Experience in Konoha

Author, you wouldn't want to go through this book without reading it every day, would you?

Speaking of Naruto, the skill ceiling for swordsmanship isn't low, right? Swordsmen like White Fang and Mifune, even in the later stages, could be considered minor bosses. If they also had Sage Mode, they wouldn't fall out of favor until Kaguya appeared. If I had to name a few, the only abilities that could be used in the later stages of Naruto are Sage Eyes, Sage Body, and Sage Mode.

The beginning was so well-written, with all the buildup—efforts, developing new techniques, and even a system possessing him—but in the end, he still can't escape the Sharingan? What a vicious cycle. I specially ordered a chapter to vent my frustration.

The whole thing was awkward when they came out as a unit, even with the Twelve Little Strongmen among them. It felt like an army of elementary school students, led by a few exceptionally talented ones, who managed to pull off a mission by sheer luck, and then they actually dared to give them official positions. And the parents of those elementary school students actually accepted it?

It was so awkward to watch. The plot felt like a forced attempt to imitate anime, trying to create some kind of bond or something. In anime, the background music helps to mask this, but just reading the text made my toes ache. There was no emotional buildup; the whole book was just about training. Do you really think a few lines of dialogue constitute foreshadowing?

May I ask, why are so many people praising this book? It seems like only people who haven't read the original work or any high-quality fanfiction are doing it. I don't understand.

Chakra itself is a fusion of body and spirit; prolonged extraction and cell division will shorten lifespan. Generally, ninjas extract chakra only when needed. Chakra extraction techniques aren't that mysterious; adding a little skill might speed it up.

There's an implicit setting in Naruto that reflects the reality of Japanese society: xenophobia, extreme xenophobia! Without this setting, ninjas from Konoha and Kirigakure would have long since fled to other places! Japan, after all, is an island nation and hasn't experienced close-quarters competition like in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, where talented people could easily escape.

I feel there are two major flaws so far. I won't go into the minor ones, but one is the poorly developed storyline involving Shisui and Sasuke. Sasuke left with his clan; frankly, it would have been better if he had been the only one left alive. The portrayal was weak.

I can't understand why they'd bring all the students as a large group. They say it's for their own benefit, but the protagonist has feelings for them, and they say it's for their own good... This is war! How strong is the protagonist now? Even if he can activate Susanoo, so what? Minato couldn't save the students. Bringing so many rookies on the battlefield? They're guaranteed to die. I don't know what they were thinking.
