My rising and falling love for Naruto

Hey guys, what's up? This weekend I was watching a walkthrough for the latest Naruto game, Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3. It made me think of all the great memories I had while watching/reading the series. Now if you're going to ask me how much I know about Naruto, it's only up to about when the pain battle ended. Yeah, I know, sad. BUT I HAVE AN EXCUSE!!! I kind of blame America. I mean with how much they censored the show, it kind of made me lose interest in the show and manga. I really truly stopped watching it and everything when Naruto Shippuden was on Disney XD. Seriously Viz Media DISNEY?! Everyone knew that they were going to baby proof it like hell. They should've just given it to adult swin to begin with. I was happy that it came off of Disney XD, but I still wasn't inspired to get back into the anime and manga. Don't get me wrong. I still think Naruto is the greatest anime and manga ever, but I just can't get back into it. I tried. I really did. But it just didn't work. I wanted to try again, but realized that I'm so far behind that wasn't even worth trying anymore. I mean I know bits and pieces of what happened after the Pain battle, but not enough to go back into the series. Naruto was the anime that kind of made me realize how much of an otaku I am. I will forever wish the series a bunch of success and I will be sad when it ends (even though it has been dragging on for a LONG time almost like Bleach and One Piece but not as bad). Ok, I'm done now. Shout out to all those fans who are very loyal to Naruto and kept up with the series. You guys are awesome!! Voice of a Gamer signing out.
