Forgot about this one.

 

Summary Time: Chapter 5. The Third Choice... to the stupid, 'which hot springs,' we should go to. Damn it. They are going to be still on that this chapter.

 

Cover Page is an annoyed Mirai, a tired Akamaru with pup, and the two love birds from last time.

 

Chapter starts with people declaring their animal statue is going to win. Kiba and Tamaki get into another spat. Then the people of the festival recognize Kiba as a famous dog ninja master. So, apparently Kiba is the closest ninja hound master ever got to becoming hokage, knows every walking trail in the country, is good at training dogs, and has his own brand of dog food that he eats himself.

 

 

...Good News Everyone. We FINALLY found a change to the ninja system under Naruto, their dog food is better. Clearly poor dog food was one of the leading causes to the cycle of hatred, people to be made into tools of war, stripped of their humanity, and general corruption in the ninja system as well as society as a whole. Thank god that was solved. So, they put Kiba on top of the dog statue. This upsets Tamaki as he is ignoring her or something, so she walks off. As he sees her walk off, he feels guilty because he wanted to enjoy the festival with her. The people at the festival fight each other.

 

Kakashi notices Mirai is worried about those two, she wants to mend the bridges between them, and she recommends finding something that is both cat & dog. 

 

 

Also as she heads off he asks her to find Guy because they lost him somehow.

 

Her answer is to set fire the the festival. Bit extreme. She uses genjutsu to make a third fire god. The chapter is over.

 

4/10. Too short and the conflict between Kiba and Tamaki is not that interesting. But thank god we finally found a reform to the ninja system the Naruto cast did; better dog food.

 

Merry Christmas everyone. May you spend time with your love ones and be jolly on this joyous day.

I'll be fair. That plot point actually wouldn't sound so terrible if there was actual focus on ninja dogs and Kiba's clan particularly. I've said the slice of life stuff wasn't  abysmally unsalvageable levels of bad but they seem to be unable to make the audience give a S.H.I.T. And that is mostly because Naruto is a shonen battle manga. If there was any effort put into these characters being passionate about these career changes and not only because they are throwing ideas at the wall and see what sticks because they HAVE no more ideas it wouldn't be this unengaging.   

 

P.S. Merry Christmas to you!!

The thing is that this is the first change I have found that can be attributed to Naruto or his generation. One) its by Kiba the ignored rival of Naruto, and two) its just better dog food.

 

Scene Naruto and his friends in a circle

 

Naruto: We need to reform the ninja system so the tragedies of the past do not happen again.

 

Me: How are any of you going to do that?

 

The entire cast sits around stumped until Kiba goes: I know better dog food!

 

They all applaud as they have nothing else. 

 

Naruto has barely been hokage for 5 years at best has done kitten all.

Sakura opened up a hospital for sick children...no wait they keep forgetting about it. So nothing.

Sasuke just wanders around being Naruto's Danzo.

Sai runs the ANBU.

Shikamaru the one who really runs the village but still does nothing.

Chouji, no clue.

Ino runs the sensory department all she seems to be is a psychic hotline for the cast to use.

Tenten runs a useless weapon shop

Lee had a son.

Hinata raise two spoiled brats did nothing about the hyuuga clan caste system.

Shina became a teacher whose students don't respect.

Kiba better dog food.

 

This is all I have seen them achieve.
