General Discussion Rules
Rules regarding spoilers
Despite NARUTO’s widely recognizable orange main character, there are many readers who have neither read nor watched any part of this series. Avoid giving accidental spoilers by using Blur [spoiler] [/spoiler] or in a dropdown box using Hide Details [details="Summary"] [/details] for predictions, plot discussion, or story-revealing panel images.
Please treat memes as spoilers and hide them. 
When asking language-related questions, please include the volume number and/or general context surrounding the sentence. This will make it much easier to answer questions without confusion.
