Cost too much preparation time. Thats why theres so many filler episodes. To buy time for the work that takes more effort. Bigger battles. With tv, you really have to hit the time lines. Now with subscription services it doesn't matter at all. We'll wait an eternity. Just like metroid prime 4. I could have had a kid and that kid have a kid at 18 between the time of metroid prime 3 and 4. I could be a grandpa by now.

There's dinosaurs in Naruto!??? Since wheeen???? This is NOT One Piece, Kishimoto can't and should not do that😭 he didn't have that kind of freedom privilege as writer since his universe only about Ninja, supernatural, and Alien from start to end Now suddenly out of nowhere dinos still exist in Naruto??? While in Kaguya and Hagoromo era they even didn't exist?? How??? 😭
Yeah they portray the hyuga clan as awesome during the genin period and later they really dont get to display how strong they actually are other than a few scenes here and there doing that barrier thing 😅
@@marvinchunter1518I do not agree, Jiraiya's death was very emotional and important for the development of Naruto's character, and Jiraiya does have many more stories in his youth which can be told.
the actual reason that he killed himself is that Danzo has a curse mark placed on all Anbu agents that will make them kill themselves if they are ever placed under Genjutsu so that they couldn't potentially give up information
Lmao, what? That's a huge weakpoint isn't it? So even if he got put under some weak genjutsu that he could break out of, he would instead just kill himself?
@@DiamonDust well I would assume that Anbu are trained to resist genjutsu, so it would at least take a skilled user to put them under one, but is also a bit of a plot hole as we see Itachi put Kakashi, a former anbu, under genjutsu, but Kakashi doesn't off himself
@@amythistxue1 "Trained to resist genjutsu". That makes sense logically, but the thing I dislike about that explanation is that genjutsu resistance is very uncommon in Naruto, and even that resistance we have seen seems to only apply to visual genjutsu rather than sound genjutsu. IIRC the only ones who have been stated/shown to be resistant to visual genjutsu are Deidara (through training), Sharingan users, and Rinnegan users. Everyone else seems to get hit by the genjutsu first, and then dispel the genjutsu using the "release" handsign or disrupting their chakra some other way. If there was some easy way to train to resist genjutsu, you would think it would have come up with the Jiraiya training Naruto got to dispel genjutsu. Deidara's case is very weird writing wise. It's almost as if Deidara is the sole person who has been able to gain genjutsu resistance though training since that topic is never discussed much, but it's not like Deidara is that special. He's strong, but there are many characters who are stronger and more experienced, too. I guess you could say he was special because he hated Itachi and knew he had to train against genjutsu specifically very hard to win vs him... but you could say that for anyone who would train to fight Uchiha which should be many people in history. But yeah, I don't buy that there is some ANBU genjutsu training that even someone like Jiraiya or Kakashi who both trained Naruto in preparation for fighting Itachi would have known. I feel like in in universe genjutsu training consists of being able to sense a disturbance in your own chakra cause by the genjutsu to first identify you are within a genjutsu (if it's not obvious), then dispelling the genjutsu with your own chakra. Lastly in Kakashi's case that actually checks out that he would not have the mark. We have already seen Kakashi showing the skill needed to suppress Orochimaru's curse mark (perhaps the strongest curse mark ever), so I wouldn't be surprised if Kakashi had the skill to completely erase Danzo's curse mark (a far weaker one). Or if not him, Jiraiya or Minato would be up to the task and are both even better at sealing ninjutsu than Kakashi. Honestly I would just bank on Minato having erased it after Kakashi left the ANBU.
@GoldenNoKami Itachi was already an ANBU Jounin at the time, it's even implied he was already superior to Fugaku and Shisui, that kid could humiliate many adults, a true genius.
The fact one of the most important bodyguards of the leaf feels the need to sell info for the village he works for knowing they won’t help should be enough to know who was really evil in this tale
@@Mandosetit's not stronger than sharingan but Byakugan visual prowess is also amazing Byakugan has some nice hax like seeing through things and X-ray something sharingan has to a degree
One thing I didn't like about the Sharingan, the goal post kept moving. Every. single. time an Uchiha starts to lose a fight, "ohoho, but you didn't count on my Dojutsu that's supposed to let me mimic your body language but also on the DL cast genjutsu to rewrite reality itself!"
I think it was all pretty fair game for the most part, there were plenty of other equally OP powers that existed after all. The only Uchiha powers that I think went way too far were Izanagi and Izanami. They are just way too OP with little to no way to counter them unless you are light years stronger than the Uchiha using it. Obito basically cheated Konan out of a win through Izanagi, and Itachi used Izanami to solo Kabuto like he was trash lmao. Poor Kabuto thought he could compete with the Uchiha by blocking his own eyesight completely to avoid Magekyo genjutsu one shots, but then we get the Izanami asspull that doesn't even need visual contact to affect the opponent. He just had no chance at all from the beginning no matter what he did.
@@DiamonDustWhile your right in the both being OP the down sides and consequences are why their users don’t or can’t spam them like with Kotoamatsukami, Shisui has to wait 10 years to use it again and with Izanagi and Izanami you immediately go blind and lose your sharingan and access to its abilities including Susanoo if you had it. Tsunade’s Byakugou seal needs majority of the users chakra poured into for 3 years with the user having to keep a little for themselves to use to fight decently and Pain had a cooldown on most or all of his powerful abilities.
@@kosh3r-topic70 That 10 year cooldown is only for when the eye is transplanted into a person or creature that has neither Uchiha or Senju DNA. As we saw with Danzo, having the right DNA makes it so it can be used once per day (he blatantly says this). We never are told how often a Uchiha or Shisui could use it, but I would estimate that it is once per day - or perhaps even more often. Not much of a restriction at all for an ability that can win a fight instantly vs 99% of the verse. Yes, you go blind in one eye from Izanagi and Izanami. However, what are the consequences of that in the long run? Literally nothing. Obito used Izanagi, the eye went blind, and then he just slotted in a new eye lmao. In fact, it was a Rinnegan so he actually got an upgrade. The eye going blind is only a drawback if it was a sharingan eye that had a very powerful ability linked to it, but as we saw with Obito and Danzo you can just sacrifice random sharingan eyes rather than your own. Also, Uchiha that want EMS need to lose their original eyes anyway. Even if eyes couldn't be replaced that easily, those abilities are still horribly OP. Being able to beat almost anyone, just for the measly cost of one eyeball? That's stupid. Something that OP should be life sacrificing like the 8 gates. Izanagi should only be able to _delay_ death. an Izanami user should die after using it. If you make an OP jutsu that has little to no counterplay, it should gave that kind of death drawback. There's also the additional fact that someone like Guy trained his whole life to unlock the 8 gates, but Uchiha are essentially given these abilities through genetics rather than just hard work. It's not the best writing choice IMO. I'm pretty sure Kishimoto agrees, and that's why Izanagi and Izanami were never used by characters like Obito, Madara, or Sasuke or anyone in Boruto (to my knowledge).
@@kosh3r-topic70 Also, it's unclear if an EMS user retains their unique sharingan powers... but it seems like they do. Sasuke's Susano'o did not change to look like Itachi's when he took Itachi's eyes. What this seemingly implies is that if someone lose both eyes to Izanagi, they can just transplant two new eyes to unlock EMS and then get all of their specific sharingan abilities back (things like Kamui). There's also sage mode which can let you fight without any eyes at all while still using Susano'o as Madara displayed. There are so many ways to circumvent that "drawback", and in many cases it ends up not even being a drawback at all. It's never actually acted as a detriment to the person who used it, they always just got new eyeballs. I think unlocking Rinnegan also restores the blindness, too. Otherwise Madara's eyes would not function.
@@blacklungs6508 either way it's the only record of an Uchiha awakening the Dojutsu at such a young age, younger than anyone else so that has to mean something right
At least brothers have "childhood") I mean they have time to communicate and help each other. On the other hand, Itachi and Sasuke. The only common thing they have - moments when Sasuke asks to train him and Itachi makes his "forehead gesture". The rest time Itachi works in Anbu, I guess. 😅
Technically Hiruzen was the most corrupted hokage. And Tsunade is an underrated hokage. She managed to keep the standards of the village even though that much of invasions. Pain's attack is the worst invasion of all time. It's scarier than the nine tails
No, no, the only reason the village remained intact was because of Minato, without Minato there, Kurama would have destroyed the entire village with 1 bijudama, a destruction that Pain wouldn't even come close to hahahaha, not to mention that Pain needed a whole plan to invade the village, and conveniently everyone who could be a risk to him wasn't around or didn't go to fight for whatever stupid reason
Sharingan been overrated, I wanted to see more Byakugan users in action Hamura fought alongside Hagoromo without any Susanoo or crazy sharingan amp and I bet he put in work against Kaguya!!! N you you wanna mention MS, fine I’ll say Tenseigan
@@redskinsftwBecause kidhi always focused on the sharingan for the whole of Shippuden not showing any other good thing about the Byakugan. The fact is The Byakugan was supposed to be stronger then the sharingan.
It’s cool to know that there are still strong shinobi in the naruto verse that weren’t mentioned or seen in the main story sometimes it’s feels like we have seen every shinobi that ever mattered
They were, and obviously mukai wouldn't have survived the grown-up versions of these two but it's worth noting that shisui and itachi, even as children were beating ANBU level shinobi. Plus, danzo sent two kids on a mission to subjugate a full grown adult shinobi, so he must have known that they could hold their own (he was incorrect, but still). The fact that he defeated those two, even back than, says a lot.
@@jugalnaik2298I'm seeing it being mentioned that Mukai went into this battle with information about these two, whereas the duo did not have this advantage. And given how vital information is with fights like this that is a massive lean in Mukai's favor. Is this true on him having information prior to the battle?
Didnt naruto beat pain at the same age im confused wouldnt then being younger means they were better lighter, faster, more agile , more energy , and didnt they more info on him
I hated what they did to this whole clan, they were supposed to be the only other other few with special eyes besides itachi and Sasuke, once MFs started stealing eyes on the battlefield they lost me…. Madara, pain, obito, all ran the gimmick into the ground
Minato saved the village and Put the 9 tails in Naruto and all he asked was for the third hokage to care after him. Danzo isn’t the only one who is to blame for all these atrocities
Hiruzen was forced to lead through 3 world wars and rebuild after the 9 tails attack. Despite this the leaf remained the strongest village under his reign. Idk if id say he sucked
The byakugan is such a strong dojustu. Not only can it counterack the genjutsu techniques of the sharingan, it can also neutralise ninjitsu using the gentle fist technique. I feel like we were robbed by not seeing more of the Hyuga clan in the series.
Exactly why I said for years why the hyuga absolutely SHOULD be the most powerful clan in the verse. The issue is that they are side characters, don’t bring in the money and would make the story very boring if they are just one shotting everyone. They are bred from birth to be taijustu specialist and can dispel ANY chakra based substance. That’s includes all your nature releases, all your susanoos, and basically all justu that isn’t some otutsuski bs. Plus they are immune to genjutsu💀(ocular) Only if kishimoto didn’t forget about them😂
They completely shelved Neji after the arc with the curse mark people. He should’ve had a way bigger part in the main story as talented as he was at such a young age. Huge missed opportunity to kill him off so dishonorably in the War arc.
It's sad how they forgot Rock Lee and Neji in Shippuden, they were strong characters with good lore. They all deserved the Shikamaru treatment, but Kishimoto was obsessed with the Uchiha and then the aliens arrived...
No,. Mukai wasnt trained in the hyuga compounds. And poor as hell unlike the rich Hyuga. Mukai only used Basic Gentle Fist to defeat the 2 uchiha prodigies . And to thi k that mukai is a drunkard
"as strong as Hiashi" That's really nothing to brag about lol. He would have had to be way stronger than that to have Shisui + Itachi on the ropes, even their younger selves.
@@DiamonDustnot true lmao… Mukai used regular gentle fist on them ) not even 1 uchiha can beat hyuga if they doesn’t have mang sharingan ) hyuga will demolish any uchiha with 3 tomoe
@@ahilesahilesov2112 That's such BS. Post timeskip Sasuke would annihilate Hiashi with base sharingan. So would 13 yr old Itachi lol. Hell, those 2 would annihilate him with no sharingan. Idk what made you think Byakugan users are all that OP... they're not. Also, Shisui did have mangekyo at that point it sounds like?? So "without mangekyo" is irreverent in the first place.
How many badass leaf shinobis are there? Weird that other villages a still exist. And weird that they allowed the Uzumaki clan be destroyed by a combined force. There's no way they didn’t get any intels on such a largescale operation when they have the best shinobis in the world.
The leaf since Hashirama has always been an advocate for peace. To the point that he gave the other villages the tailed beasts hoping they would work as deterrents.
Madara on that age was a trash and when he got older he can't beat hashirama and when they are older still can't beat hashirama the only time he beat hashirama when he bit his flesh and acquired hashirama cells or dna...still hashirama cells plus madara beat hashirama...he was a looser ever since so stop comparing to a real genius
@twanc156 True, the major issue is that the Hyguas are always looked up as the most powerful clan in Konoha. They even mentioned in the show a couple of times. Then Kakashi also mentioned that Byakugan is superior to the Sharingan, which is the biggest cap coming from someone who has access to the mangekyo. Even base Sharingan is good, and with the ability to help with Genjutsu, it is in on par with the Byakugan. We have never even seen Kage level hyugas. If they were powerful, Madara would have been a spooked seen the Hyugas when the alliance came to help Naruto. Hyugas are overrated and unecessarily praised. The only thing going for them is they are the decendants of the Hamura, that's it. They should have given the Byakugan some evolution like Sharingan but without the drawbacks of the mangekyo to show why they are more powerful than the Sharingan and on par with Mangekyo like this guy who can cut ninjutsu could be a byakugan evolution that Neji gets in Shippiden and maybe control their chakras system to easily break out of genjutsu like killer bee did against sasuke.
Both shisui & itachi was indeed still young back then,, but u need to remember tht either of them already joined anbu,,,, don't you recall back when itachi defeated an kunoichi anbu by himself? He was way younger (perharps still on chunin level). So yeah in this novel version both itachi & shisui were already at their prime. And mukai gave em a hard fight, using mangekyou to win a combat is a heavy toll,, so yeah we all can consider that this so called mukai was an A ranked shinobi
Ohh so when they get clapped theyre "children" but i seem to remember those " children" dominating in war and one of those " children" murdured his whole clan before finishing puberty
One aspect of Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto that has disappointed some people is the lack of explanation for some plot points, leading to confusion. For example, the true abilities of the Byakugan, inherited from the Otsutsuki, and the disappearance of the Senju clan, supposedly the strongest and most feared clan, are still unclear, etc.
I love the perigrin falcon dive helicopters from wolfenstein. The rotors retract in mid-air for more aero-dynamism, and the go into silent dives for bombing runs. Impractical as fuck, but no less cool
The story of the creation of the Leaf Village has always been about the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan, with no reference to the Hyuga Clan, despite them having been repeatedly described as the strongest clan in the Leaf Village. They have often been set aside, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Back then, the title "Jounin" actually meant something, remember the 4 Sounds? Two Hidden Leaf Jounins actually gave them a run for their money, one spit out a toothpick and that toothpick clashed and killed the momentum of a kunai being thrown
I've always believed the byakugan is stronger than the sharingan. We never got to see its full potential in the anime because the hyuga were just a side clan to the main story line. Even in the infinite tsukuyomi there was that alternate story where a byakugan user was behind the akatsuki and he could teleport using his byakugan.
We need a one shot of this, we need a oneshot of Tobirama-I feel like his abilities and IQ is still slept on we def need to showcase just how terrifying he can be, we need a oneshot of Shisui just like Minato got
Mukai cut himself because of a jutsu placed on him by Danzo. If he were to fall under a genjutsu, he has to do it. It’s to ensure Danzo’s secrets don’t get out, kind of like the seal placed on ROOT members tongues in Shippuden. Also the fight revealed hyuga could’ve broke through tangible jutsus with their fists; kinda crazy it was never utilized in the main series.
Its eas the fact he worked for Donzo that is the reason he died. Donzo puts a seal on the ninja that works for him that if under genjutsu they immediately kill themselves to keep village secrets safe
The novels weren’t even written by the original writer. These are just novels and not associated with the manga or story. The light novels were more than entertainment purposes.

@@DiamonDustWhile your right in the both being OP the down sides and consequences are why their users don’t or can’t spam them like with Kotoamatsukami, Shisui has to wait 10 years to use it again and with Izanagi and Izanami you immediately go blind and lose your sharingan and access to its abilities including Susanoo if you had it. Tsunade’s Byakugou seal needs majority of the users chakra poured into for 3 years with the user having to keep a little for themselves to use to fight decently and Pain had a cooldown on most or all of his powerful abilities.
@@kosh3r-topic70 I agree with this. For as OP as people say that these abilities were, there were trade offs that made them balanced.
@@kosh3r-topic70 That 10 year cooldown is only for when the eye is transplanted into a person or creature that has neither Uchiha or Senju DNA. As we saw with Danzo, having the right DNA makes it so it can be used once per day (he blatantly says this). We never are told how often a Uchiha or Shisui could use it, but I would estimate that it is once per day - or perhaps even more often. Not much of a restriction at all for an ability that can win a fight instantly vs 99% of the verse.
Yes, you go blind in one eye from Izanagi and Izanami. However, what are the consequences of that in the long run? Literally nothing. Obito used Izanagi, the eye went blind, and then he just slotted in a new eye lmao. In fact, it was a Rinnegan so he actually got an upgrade. The eye going blind is only a drawback if it was a sharingan eye that had a very powerful ability linked to it, but as we saw with Obito and Danzo you can just sacrifice random sharingan eyes rather than your own. Also, Uchiha that want EMS need to lose their original eyes anyway.
Even if eyes couldn't be replaced that easily, those abilities are still horribly OP. Being able to beat almost anyone, just for the measly cost of one eyeball? That's stupid. Something that OP should be life sacrificing like the 8 gates. Izanagi should only be able to _delay_ death. an Izanami user should die after using it. If you make an OP jutsu that has little to no counterplay, it should gave that kind of death drawback. There's also the additional fact that someone like Guy trained his whole life to unlock the 8 gates, but Uchiha are essentially given these abilities through genetics rather than just hard work. It's not the best writing choice IMO. I'm pretty sure Kishimoto agrees, and that's why Izanagi and Izanami were never used by characters like Obito, Madara, or Sasuke or anyone in Boruto (to my knowledge).
@@kosh3r-topic70 Also, it's unclear if an EMS user retains their unique sharingan powers... but it seems like they do. Sasuke's Susano'o did not change to look like Itachi's when he took Itachi's eyes. What this seemingly implies is that if someone lose both eyes to Izanagi, they can just transplant two new eyes to unlock EMS and then get all of their specific sharingan abilities back (things like Kamui). There's also sage mode which can let you fight without any eyes at all while still using Susano'o as Madara displayed. There are so many ways to circumvent that "drawback", and in many cases it ends up not even being a drawback at all. It's never actually acted as a detriment to the person who used it, they always just got new eyeballs. I think unlocking Rinnegan also restores the blindness, too. Otherwise Madara's eyes would not function.
We're lucky Shisui unlocked his MS at 4 cuz that legit was the only thing that saved them supposedly 😅

On the other hand, Itachi and Sasuke. The only common thing they have - moments when Sasuke asks to train him and Itachi makes his "forehead gesture". The rest time Itachi works in Anbu, I guess. 😅
Getting owned.
That's pretty fuckin sick!
Technically Hiruzen was the most corrupted hokage. And Tsunade is an underrated hokage. She managed to keep the standards of the village even though that much of invasions. Pain's attack is the worst invasion of all time. It's scarier than the nine tails
Indeed that the Hidden Leaf did kinda deserve it....But with Tsunade in charge is kinda horrible the that happened to her and the Village
Tsunade gets way too much hate hiruzen was a truly terrible hokage
Yep hizuren essentially let danzo do his thing with no consequences and Tsunade had to do cleanup it only went better when danzo and elders died.
No, no, the only reason the village remained intact was because of Minato, without Minato there, Kurama would have destroyed the entire village with 1 bijudama, a destruction that Pain wouldn't even come close to hahahaha, not to mention that Pain needed a whole plan to invade the village, and conveniently everyone who could be a risk to him wasn't around or didn't go to fight for whatever stupid reason
And she managed to keep everyone alive during that attack as well. She was actually a very impressive Hokage

Sharingan been overrated, I wanted to see more Byakugan users in action
Hamura fought alongside Hagoromo without any Susanoo or crazy sharingan amp and I bet he put in work against Kaguya!!! N you you wanna mention MS, fine I’ll say Tenseigan
Sharingan is one of the most most powerful abilities , how is it overrated ?

The Danzo era really messed up the Shinobi world
In Naruto there are so many characters
That we can't remember many of them
It’s cool to know that there are still strong shinobi in the naruto verse that weren’t mentioned or seen in the main story sometimes it’s feels like we have seen every shinobi that ever mattered
A half breed Hyuga beating the breaks of Itachi and Shisui is kinda hilarious.
Damn i gotta read the light novels
Yes you have to, they’re really good
@@melonking8253he wa dead
Moral of the story-
If you wanna trust someone with high level secrets, maybe pay them enough for medical bills??
Mukai almost saved the Uchiha clan 💀
Epic! I love how you included the source that made me enjoyed this more rather than those fake fans who rad wiki or fan fics
Itachi contolling his clone from school..
Shisui probably from his home 😂
Itachi and Shisui got bodied leave it alone.
@@pzychzerothis was itachi without MS. With MS he would have bodied him. Also prime shisui with MS bodies 99.9% of his verse in his alive era
@@hugoa9818 He would’ve lost with or without the MS. Byakugan negates Genjutsu.
Bro they were young back then
They were, and obviously mukai wouldn't have survived the grown-up versions of these two but it's worth noting that shisui and itachi, even as children were beating ANBU level shinobi. Plus, danzo sent two kids on a mission to subjugate a full grown adult shinobi, so he must have known that they could hold their own (he was incorrect, but still). The fact that he defeated those two, even back than, says a lot.
@@jugalnaik2298Those two were anbu level low balling them getting them to mid jounin at that time have you forgotten how powerful Itachi was?
@@jugalnaik2298I'm seeing it being mentioned that Mukai went into this battle with information about these two, whereas the duo did not have this advantage. And given how vital information is with fights like this that is a massive lean in Mukai's favor. Is this true on him having information prior to the battle?
Okay?
Didnt naruto beat pain at the same age im confused wouldnt then being younger means they were better lighter, faster, more agile , more energy , and didnt they more info on him
Did you know that a ninja beat Itachi & Shisui?
Ninja:
**dies**
Na fr
I hated what they did to this whole clan, they were supposed to be the only other other few with special eyes besides itachi and Sasuke, once MFs started stealing eyes on the battlefield they lost me…. Madara, pain, obito, all ran the gimmick into the ground
not really, it made the gimmick less predictable and characters like kakashi having 2 different dojutsu eyes is crazy
The one Sharingan Guy: Kakashi
The one Byakugan Guy: This goat
A moment of silence for the itachi fans that still go on about him never losing
At the end his opponent died and he didn't
Would've been interesting to see Mokai vs Kakashi.
I mean how difficult it would have been to heal a child when u have the best medical ninja in the world .
Everything cost money I’m assuming even in this fictional world much like the real world.
This lol medicine isn't so hard. He must be not cool with it
Makes u wonder why the leaf couldn't help em 🤔
Minato saved the village and Put the 9 tails in Naruto and all he asked was for the third hokage to care after him. Danzo isn’t the only one who is to blame for all these atrocities
Third hokage and danzo era really sucks! Medical advance and tech really happen during 5th hokage.
Because the 3rd Hokage was the worst Hokage.
@@jasontan7920 nope, Tsunade was making major breakthroughs and changes way before she was hokage
Hiruzen was forced to lead through 3 world wars and rebuild after the 9 tails attack. Despite this the leaf remained the strongest village under his reign. Idk if id say he sucked
The byakugan is such a strong dojustu. Not only can it counterack the genjutsu techniques of the sharingan, it can also neutralise ninjitsu using the gentle fist technique. I feel like we were robbed by not seeing more of the Hyuga clan in the series.
It's too bad the Huga lacked talent during the naruto era. Would have been cool to see a top tier byakugan user in action.
Imagine he had 2 Byakugan 💀
Yes iv imagine. Now what?
And he only use the basic of gentle fist . No advance technique. What if he was living in the Hyuga compounds?.
Tenseigan > EMS > Byakugan > Sharingan
Exactly why I said for years why the hyuga absolutely SHOULD be the most powerful clan in the verse.
The issue is that they are side characters, don’t bring in the money and would make the story very boring if they are just one shotting everyone.
They are bred from birth to be taijustu specialist and can dispel ANY chakra based substance. That’s includes all your nature releases, all your susanoos, and basically all justu that isn’t some otutsuski bs.
Plus they are immune to genjutsu💀(ocular)
Only if kishimoto didn’t forget about them😂
They completely shelved Neji after the arc with the curse mark people. He should’ve had a way bigger part in the main story as talented as he was at such a young age. Huge missed opportunity to kill him off so dishonorably in the War arc.
It's sad how they forgot Rock Lee and Neji in Shippuden, they were strong characters with good lore. They all deserved the Shikamaru treatment, but Kishimoto was obsessed with the Uchiha and then the aliens arrived...
To be honest, they made neji and thus the hyuga clan kinda lame by beating on hinata who I've always liked but weak(?)
Would’ve loved to see this purely so I could see the overhyped duo of Shisui and Itachi be humbled
Still not as overhyped as Obito and Kakashi
They weren’t humbled, they stepped on that Hyuga just like obito and Madara did to the entire Hyuga clan
@@crashpal🤨 where tf you be hearing folks say “Obito & Kakashi are overly hype”. Never. Bc that’s bap
We need anime of underrated characters like this
Damn and I read and watched Naruto I missed this. Great work, mad respect
Mukai was as strong as Hiashi Hyuga. I'm starting to think where Ao from the Mist got his Byakugan from.
No,. Mukai wasnt trained in the hyuga compounds. And poor as hell unlike the rich Hyuga.
Mukai only used Basic Gentle Fist to defeat the 2 uchiha prodigies .
And to thi k that mukai is a drunkard
Ao defeat a member of hyuga clan in the war, he took it as a spoil of war
"as strong as Hiashi" That's really nothing to brag about lol. He would have had to be way stronger than that to have Shisui + Itachi on the ropes, even their younger selves.
@@DiamonDustnot true lmao… Mukai used regular gentle fist on them ) not even 1 uchiha can beat hyuga if they doesn’t have mang sharingan ) hyuga will demolish any uchiha with 3 tomoe
@@ahilesahilesov2112 That's such BS. Post timeskip Sasuke would annihilate Hiashi with base sharingan. So would 13 yr old Itachi lol. Hell, those 2 would annihilate him with no sharingan. Idk what made you think Byakugan users are all that OP... they're not. Also, Shisui did have mangekyo at that point it sounds like?? So "without mangekyo" is irreverent in the first place.
If there was no shisui itachi wouldn't be in the show😢
Shisui the goat 🐐
Overhyped so much.
How many badass leaf shinobis are there? Weird that other villages a still exist. And weird that they allowed the Uzumaki clan be destroyed by a combined force. There's no way they didn’t get any intels on such a largescale operation when they have the best shinobis in the world.
The leaf since Hashirama has always been an advocate for peace. To the point that he gave the other villages the tailed beasts hoping they would work as deterrents.
Other villages also had badass shinobis, otherwise they probably would have gotten conquered.
@@PolarBearVolcano nah the leaf were constantly led by powerful shinobis who sought peace despite their great strength.
Bro was built different
Kakashi of the Sharingan & Mukai of the Byakugan.
Because,
byakugan >>>>>>> sharingan full power.
byakugan
Ahahah ms sharingan way more powerful
Source?
The light novels
And yet people will say that itachi can solo characters like madara and even goku
Madara on that age was a trash and when he got older he can't beat hashirama and when they are older still can't beat hashirama the only time he beat hashirama when he bit his flesh and acquired hashirama cells or dna...still hashirama cells plus madara beat hashirama...he was a looser ever since so stop comparing to a real genius
Man, i really wish they would make hour specials for a lot of stories like these, not evem just Naruto. So much lore they can draw or animate.
Kudos to this 1 eyed byakugan user way back then 20 shinobis are no joke. Even 2nd and 3rd Hokage struggles when outnumbered.
Never made sense how a person of a distant relative of the hyugas was more powerful and talented than any of the hyugas we have seen
still have the byakugan.... look at Sakura.... she has no special clan but she trained and look how far she got. A mix of luck, skill, training
@twanc156 True, the major issue is that the Hyguas are always looked up as the most powerful clan in Konoha. They even mentioned in the show a couple of times. Then Kakashi also mentioned that Byakugan is superior to the Sharingan, which is the biggest cap coming from someone who has access to the mangekyo. Even base Sharingan is good, and with the ability to help with Genjutsu, it is in on par with the Byakugan. We have never even seen Kage level hyugas. If they were powerful, Madara would have been a spooked seen the Hyugas when the alliance came to help Naruto. Hyugas are overrated and unecessarily praised. The only thing going for them is they are the decendants of the Hamura, that's it. They should have given the Byakugan some evolution like Sharingan but without the drawbacks of the mangekyo to show why they are more powerful than the Sharingan and on par with Mangekyo like this guy who can cut ninjutsu could be a byakugan evolution that Neji gets in Shippiden and maybe control their chakras system to easily break out of genjutsu like killer bee did against sasuke.
So he beat itachi when he was like 12 or younger , might not of had that outcome with an older itachi
We are talking about past events, b4 story. The novels are meant to fill in gaps of itachi’s life
Both shisui & itachi was indeed still young back then,, but u need to remember tht either of them already joined anbu,,,, don't you recall back when itachi defeated an kunoichi anbu by himself? He was way younger (perharps still on chunin level). So yeah in this novel version both itachi & shisui were already at their prime. And mukai gave em a hard fight, using mangekyou to win a combat is a heavy toll,, so yeah we all can consider that this so called mukai was an A ranked shinobi
Itachitards can't stand itachi getting clapped, so sad😂
@@faridcostanza4706 do you know what Prime means? Maybe Shisui was but Itachi only awakened his MS once Shisui died

Yeah but they were both insanely talented
one of those children had mangekyo 😅

Gentle fists to handle fire balls... bro that's wild!

The more I learn about The Leaf the more I wonder why we’ve been rooting for them for so long
One aspect of Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto that has disappointed some people is the lack of explanation for some plot points, leading to confusion. For example, the true abilities of the Byakugan, inherited from the Otsutsuki, and the disappearance of the Senju clan, supposedly the strongest and most feared clan, are still unclear, etc.
Hyuga was Crazy rich why no one help him..😢...
It really makes mad how there’s so much undiscovered stuff in naruto that just wasn’t really talked about at all
I remember reading those two light novels back in Middle School. So good.
I love the perigrin falcon dive helicopters from wolfenstein.
The rotors retract in mid-air for more aero-dynamism, and the go into silent dives for bombing runs.
Impractical as fuck, but no less cool
The story of the creation of the Leaf Village has always been about the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan, with no reference to the Hyuga Clan, despite them having been repeatedly described as the strongest clan in the Leaf Village. They have often been set aside, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Why don't we get this old dark naruto back? This subplots are total peak compared to what we have now in the series
Back then, the title "Jounin" actually meant something, remember the 4 Sounds? Two Hidden Leaf Jounins actually gave them a run for their money, one spit out a toothpick and that toothpick clashed and killed the momentum of a kunai being thrown
How come we never got a in anime scene of a Hyuga fighting an Uchiha, it feels like that would be an epic duel.
one of the sickest looking character imo. gives genmma a run for his money in drip
I've always believed the byakugan is stronger than the sharingan. We never got to see its full potential in the anime because the hyuga were just a side clan to the main story line. Even in the infinite tsukuyomi there was that alternate story where a byakugan user was behind the akatsuki and he could teleport using his byakugan.
I so wish that these novels like itachi, sasuke, shikamaru, etc. were turned into anime
Who is the editor of this story, note even in Naruto such a story reflected
We need a series of all the chunin exams… shi would be fire… imagine minato team vs itachi dads team 🔥🔥
I still wish this day that instead of useless fillers they just make backstory episode in naruto but they still did in the war arc tho
All these side stories need to be animated
You would think being an elite ninja comes with a good medical insurance plan.
We need a one shot of this, we need a oneshot of Tobirama-I feel like his abilities and IQ is still slept on we def need to showcase just how terrifying he can be, we need a oneshot of Shisui just like Minato got
"Never underestimate the visual prowess of the Uchiha."
-Obito
He cut his stomach because he had seal from being in root/anbu I don’t remember
Ofc they sent itachi and shsui. Bro must’ve been a godly shinobi. We need him in the next game.
Mukai cut himself because of a jutsu placed on him by Danzo. If he were to fall under a genjutsu, he has to do it. It’s to ensure Danzo’s secrets don’t get out, kind of like the seal placed on ROOT members tongues in Shippuden. Also the fight revealed hyuga could’ve broke through tangible jutsus with their fists; kinda crazy it was never utilized in the main series.
Will never forgive Naruto for not giving us back stories to these guys lives.
Forgot to mention that they were kids when they fought him
Fr though why is all the filler village so fucking dope like the hidden star village so SLEPT on bro kujaku was an amazing Ninja art
My guy knows about Naruto as much as someone who just started watching it
The amount of lore in Naruto they could have done a prequel instead of a damn sequel 😂
Its eas the fact he worked for Donzo that is the reason he died. Donzo puts a seal on the ninja that works for him that if under genjutsu they immediately kill themselves to keep village secrets safe
We need like a 3 piece fillers worth of episodes on this ninja and more. I miss the old Naruto
It’s crazy cause from lore alone, the byukugan and gentle should be the strongest, from a standpoint.
Defeating 20 shinobi's would've been impressive if i didn't watch the 4th great ninja war arc.
The fact that we could have been showed this instead of the same itachi flashbacks 20,000 times….
The novels weren’t even written by the original writer. These are just novels and not associated with the manga or story. The light novels were more than entertainment purposes.
