    See, the hammering of pain by kyubi naruto is symbollic. Kyubi represents the collective hatred of the Naruto fanbase by frustratingly hammering Pain, who represents the potential awesomeness of the story's setup, in a pre-emptive measure against Kishimoto inevitably ruining yet another arc like he has with so many others as he continuously writes himself into corners.

    You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie

    Found this on another site and thought it was funny. I have to admit though, the animation for this episode was awful.

    This is news to me. Which other arcs have been collectively hated by the community?

    I haven't disliked any of the canon arcs so far.

    Some say every arc except the Zabuza Arc, others say every arc after the chuunin exam. I myself am a bit more generous, though, and would probably say everything after Gaara vs Kimimaro excluding Shikamaru vs Hidan.

    Don't be mistaken, I'm not saying there's nothing good in those arcs. In order to "ruin" an arc, it has to start out with promise. Most of the shippudden arcs manage that, but something dissappointing always seems to happen near the end to ruin it.

    Hmm, the only arc I would describe like that is when they went after Sasuke the second time.

    They had this giant battle between 4-tails Naruto and Orochimaru in the middle of the arc, and then they end it on Sasuke just curb-stomping the whole team in a total anti-climax.
