I'm kind of disappointed by all of these transformations and power ups. I know its the same old argument, but I would rather see the characters rely on skill, techniques, and strategy rather than power ups from "alternate sources of power". That is what made Naruto such an appealing series to me in the first place (remember the shadow shuriken that they used against Zabuza? That, IMO, was much cooler than seeing Naruto transforming into a beast, or Sasuke and others transforming into monsters, because it was smarter and more creative.)

But, I'm a fan of the series. I'm not going to complain too much, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy whatever twists and turns it takes.
My friend, I now place you leaps and bounds over the majority of Naruto fanatics here, who only want to see Naruto tear shit up with his "power." Thank you having some standards for this fresh series. Thank you, for not being so shallow, like everybody else here. You rock, dude.

And I couldn't agree more. All this leveling up shit is getting lame. And predictable.
I have to agree guys. The techniques, strategies and skills were what drew me to this series in the first place. I really miss those days. Although don't get me wrong, I'm still enjoying the series.
