An Overview of Naruto: a Japanese Anime Series
My chosen story is an anime called Naruto, invented by Japanese manga writher Masashi Kishimoto so that`s what we will talk about in the paper "Anime Series Of Naruto Essay". The story talks about a ninja called Naruto who wants to achieve universal acceptance and become a Hokage, which entails the position of the head of his village and the strongest ninja. The main character of this story is Naruto a young kid who is noisy, restless who wants to become the Hokage but is rejected by everyone because he as a great evil demons sealed inside him. He has no family member alive to take care of him. So he grew up on his own but still seeks everyone acceptance. His story is not as easy as it seems since he has to overcome thousands of obstacles: ninja exams, various missions, and battles. Is journey begins with 2 teammates Sakura and Sasuke with his captain/ Teacher Kakashi Hatake who will help him become an official ninja and help him reach his goal of becoming the head of the village.
The plot of the Naruto series begins with Naruto who lives in a village called Konoha with the socio-political setting just like our lives today. In this ninja world, there are several small size states that live and develop as standalone units. They all have their unique way of deferring form each other. The states have at their disposal hidden villages, which are ninja settlements, headed by an independent ruler, Kage which resembles a lot to the Hokage. There is many supernatural phenomena that happens in the story, but the story roles over 9 Supernatural beings. They are often called by different names like demons, Destructors of villages but their real titles are the tailed beasts. There is a total of 9 tailed beast, which have great amount of power within them. Their power is calculated by their number of tails, so if a demon had more than one tail there power were greater. Which can bring many conflict which I will mention in the next paragraph.
Furthermore, the tailed beast take form of different animals and insect. These beast have great amount of power. In the Naruto story they are seen as demons or weapons to cause destruction where ever they go. These Supernatural beings are evil and have a great hatred toward humans or ninjas in general. They often bring destruction or attack people that confront them. To control these beats they have to be sealed inside a human body with a special seal. The sealed demons are used to take use of their power. When a demon is sealed inside you gain power from it .But not everyone is capable of having the demon inside them. Human’s who have the sealed demon inside them are called Jinjuriki had they have to be strong and will and power because the demon will always try to take over their body and get out of their seal. They try to convince you and hit every point in your life were you suffered to take control of the hosted body. These demons are also sealed for their power, villages use them as a way to protect themselves from enemies or even attack other villages that they are in war with.
Furthermore, the Naruto series is a great series that provides many social and psychological benefits to its viewers. The main character Naruto always has this saying” I won’t run away anymore… I won’t go back on my word… that is my ninja way” – Uzumaki Naruto. This is the quote that many people can learn from in there daily lives because it teaches people to not run away from their fear and face it even if it seems impossible everything can be done if the work is put into it. The series also shows us to never give up in our dreams even if people judge you for it believe in yourself and not what other say. Just like Naruto who never gave up and at the end got what he wanted with hard work and dedication. This story brings hope to people because it tells them no matter how hard life is, you must not give up. Thrive forward with your hard work irrespective of the outcomes you expect just work hard and everything will be alright. (Everything Naruto is about) even if you came out of nothing and you don’t have everything that everyone has everything is possible if you have the guts to fight for it.
In conclusion, the series of Naruto shows us many super natural beings are seen has demons. It also shows how like in different beliefs demons are the worse things you can get because they lead to destruction. It also, shows us how in the series the ninja s don’t see the demons as creatures you can worship but only as weapons of destruction. In the end the main characters shows us that’s if you fight the demon inside you that makes you think that you can’t achieve something and make peace with it and tell yourself you can, by putting the work into it you can achieve greatness.
