I can respect that answer, honestly I wasn't expecting an articulate response. [@The 42nd Gecko].

Cause I just re-read my shit and it's totally standoffish when I didn't mean it to be.

Also, Zabuza should have been later in the show. Like right after the chuunin exams. Because the animation quality got a bump, and Zabuza's story is genuinely good. Not like, oh this is the best thing ever. 

No, Naruto isn't known for it's storytelling. It's story is kinda jumpy and gets really dumb. But Zabuza and Haku was a literally heartwrenching subplot that had writing that stood out like a sore thumb in early Naruto.

Though I'll be frank, I watch Naruto for the moments when they hit MY favored range of power and just decimate landscapes with their abilities. Coupled with the higher quality animation of those episodes, mmph. Beautiful.

[b]Edit:[/b] I did it again, this isn't meant to sound standoffish, it's just 12 in the morning and I haven't had any sleep since yesterday.

Hah, no problem, that's fun too. It just isn't what I liked about Naruto. Though, I can appreciate some of the later fight scenes, I just feel it lost some of the essence of trickery when so many times it comes down to "My Jutsu is bigger." 

[@Tasuke] If your question is about when I mentioned a ninja with bouncy balls, I was offering myself for the "two players send their messages to the GM, and the GM acts as a go between to describe what each player sees" game. If it's about Naruto, a question was asked, and I gave my honest answer.
