I feel like our economy has been driven by mass production for so long that we’ve forgotten just how intensely time-consuming making things by hand is. Mass production was revolutionary for a reason. It DRASTICALLY reduced the cost of things. And I’m all for making things more affordable! But the problem arises when people decide they want something handmade for the cost of something mass produced. People get an idea in their mind “this is how much x item should cost” when in actuality that’s how much a machine made version of that thing costs.

Like no one recognizes them???!! HOW MANY ninja do you think they’ve already passed??? EVEN Kakashi who SHOULD BE VERY FAMILIAR WITH ITACHI AND HIS CHAKRA doesn’t catch on until way later. SO Kisame and Itachi are in the middle of enemy territory where everyone should be able to recognize Itachi (if these ninja weren’t trash) and Kisame just goes:
