Definently not what I thought my first post to the commmunity would be about. XD

Anyway, how many of you watch/read Naruto for.... Naruto?

And which do you prefer - timeskip Naruto or pre-timeskip Naruto?

Possible spoiler warning.

I do. I'm one of the rare ones.

I don't really differentiate, although I do like timeskip Naruto. He *is* more mature, no matter what anyone says.

I read/watch for Naruto and Sasuke both. I just can't decide between them. >>

I liked pre-timeskip Naruto better for the first few chapters post-timeskip... but then he started to grow on me, I guess. *shrugs* I still kindof like pre-timeskip better, just because I'm one of those people who's really reluctant to change and whatever.

I do like both now, though. =3

I do!!! I love Naruto!

I don't think he's really changed that much between pre- and post- timeskip personality-wise, although he does seem more and more obsessed with Sasuke, which is more than a little worrisome, considering that Sasuke is a revenge-obsessed freak...

>_>

Yeah I really like Naruto, he's so funny.
I haven't decided yet about the pre/post timeskip. I think he was cuter pre-timeskip but he's more mature now too which is interesting to see :)

I don't read Naruto for any one character. I read it for all the characters (even the ones I dislike), plot development, and dur, NINJUTSU. >:D

I think timejump Naruto has grown quite a bit on me. :3 That is, after I got over the fact that he wasn't a kid anymore.

There are actually no characters in Naruto I dislike, but Naruto's probably my favourite – after Kabuto, but he's in it rarely enough that, on a week-to-week basis, yes, I do read it for Naruto :3 I love him to pieces, he's a darling and a lovely and ... nheeeh ♥

I don't like either pre- or post-timeskip!Naruto more than the other. I mean, they're both Naruto and there are moments before and after the timeskip that make me want to wibble and bundle him up in hugs and love. That just happens more often since the timeskip because his eyes have got so much more sad since then and one remembers what he used to be like and just ... *flail* I WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY.

Gah.

Stop it! My heart's crying enough as it is; don't make it any worse! ;_;

Timeskip Naruto makes me want to teleport Sasuke to him, just so Naruto can beat the crap out of him. To feel better and all!

though i ♥ sasuke too, sadly enough.

Me too D: Beat the crap out him and then give him a HUG. It's what's best for both of them, damnit.

*pulls knees up to chest and wibbles*

I read Naruto for the sake of everything in it XD It's not just Naruto (though he is pretty awesome), it's for the plot and the twists in the storyline and the comedy and... yeah, everything. X3;

Pre- and timeskip Naruto both have their good and bad points. I'd like to think I like them equally but.. I think timeskip Naruto's squirmed his way into me heart more >_>; There's something about maturity that makes you like a person better. He still rushes into things a lot, but it's not like it used to be.

So yeah XD I like it ALL. *huggles Naruto manga*

Y'know...when I first started on Naruto, I didn't really like Naruto himself. It's almost set up so that he gets on your nerves like he does to the rest of the village, but along the way he grows on you like a limpet and you can't help but love him to death.

Yet recently I've found that in the manga he's coming off as completely stupid, as in unintelligent. He evolved so far but suddenly he's seemed to revert and grow clueless. I don't know if I'm the only one to get that vibe, but it's really annoying me and I kind of want my old Naruto back. :/

I love Naruto, but I love all the characters. Even without Sausage, I'd still read the manga.

I read/watch Naruto for all the characters. Even for Oro-kun. He's so evil... yum. And I prefer time-skip Naruto. Seems more mature...

I really disliked him at first, but then he caught me off guard with how much I ended up adoring him. He really is - if not my favorite - definitely one of my favorites, and I will read or watch something just for him in it.

I like post-timeskip Naruto more, maybe just because of that look he gets. He knows so much more now. When he was younger there was so much of a "if I keep going and trying and smiling and believing, everything will be fine" mentality with him. He didn't realize how much it would hurt when that philosophy doesn't work out. But he knows now, and he keeps living his life that way because he's Naruto. That's why I like post-timeskip more, there's another dimension to him that I didn't see before. He's not as much of a blind believer.

And I just love the post-timeskip character design, heh.

I love Naruto, he's one of my favorite characters. I'm afraid to say how much I dispise Sasuke's heart and soul. Too bad he has to be in it for the story to work.

But overall, I watch the series because I like it, and I like almost all the other characters!

I was one of those people who read it for Sasuke. Then I read it for Kakashi. Now I read it for Naruto. Because he's the coolest guy ever, and I love him! :D And I definitely prefer timeskip Naruto, it's then that he really started to rub in on me and when I started to like him more and more :D
