I have taken an interest in Naruto part 2. (I warn you my post contains spoilers)
One thing I love about Naruto 2 is that the art has improved. I could read just on the character design alone. Alot of things have changed since the last two years of the first part of the series. I like how Naruto is now trying to depend on his own power. Instead of Kyuubi. I never seen that coming, kudos to Masashi Kishimoto for bringing that to the plot line.
I thank you, honestly. The girls look like grown women at the age of fifteen even though they are cute. Especially Hinata, she is now the cutest girl. No questions asked. Although Temari and time skip Sakura are potential rivals. Ino and Ten Ten never really looked all that great. Although their looks have improved in their own light.
Cool characters have been introduced also. Deidara is one of the best Kunoichi of the female gender skill wise. I like her "artistic views" if you wish to call them that. Her explosions rule too, I got a lil pokemon feel when she blew herself up though. But it was a fake. Too bad both her arms are gone. Thanks to Kakashi and Gaara.
Time jump Sasuke is also a wierd one. His skill has increased sharply and has only appeared for a short time. But his clothing is weird. I see he adopted an orochimaru like style clothing. Thats all I can say about him.
One of the most improved characters, is definatley Sakura. Shes an nomination for most improved. She has finally become useful. She is now a medical ninja plus she posesses Tsunade's super human strength. Sakura is a killer now. O_O, Even though her fight with Sasori was way too long for its own good. It was interesting in its own right.
Even though there is more I wanna say I am going to stop now. I'll spoil it, lol.
It was worth every second to read from chapter 1-271. Then pick up from 271 to read the latest chapters.
