How strong are the ninjas?

I think that the parents and shit probably went through just as hard of times as the kids have been through. Look at Kakashi, remember what he said to sasuke before sasuke left on his revenge thing? he talked about how that everyone he ever cared for was dead and gone- he got his sharingan in weird way so he must have been through some messed up shit. Also look at the lady that oro bit that has the cursed seal- she was one of the jounins doing the chunin exams- she had to go through some bad stuff if shes been with oro or even just got bit with that seal- we see everything these kids go through, so we are just going to automatically think they'll be stronger and better, but i think its not so much out of the norm for a ninja- just my 2 cents

It's fairly obvious that the parents of the Ino-Shika-Cho genins went through tough times. Just look at their scars. As for Kiba's mom(s?) the way they carry on, I doubt they had it easy either.

I'm pretty sure none of the jounins had it "easy" growing up. some, like Gai probably trained like mad. We know that aside from having his friends get killed off, Kakashi was quite the genius even before he got the sharingan. The Hyuuga clan has serious training regimens with their children. Just look how Hinata was booted for being too weak.


The 3rd, 4th, and Sanin were strong because they trained hard and had good teachers. Hopefully, the same will be said of the current genins by the end of the series.

good point... but these basic things all ninjas goes thru... all the genins in the story arc now goes thru much more than they can handle
but what i'm interested in are the new sick experimental technique/genetic modification/hidden monster extravaganza that one day the new generation of genins unleash and destroy all the ninjas and blow everything to smitherines(i hope i spell it right)... yeah that kinda stuff...

you can see that is a possibility in the future, but with the kages and sannins generation it wouldnt happen
