early naruto
was so good conceptually. I mean, you could be all powerful but there was always a price. Gai and his gates? Unimaginable pain afterwards. Kakashi and Raikiri? Out like a light for a week. Itachi and his prowess? Feared by the whole village, not to mention eventual blindness. Tenzo’s wood style? Illegal experimentation.
Later Shippuden had so much God Mode power-ups but none of the earlier fallout *sighs an endless sigh*
