Three most inspiring qualities of NARUTO


 


Uzumaki Naruto is the most beloved character in all anime world who inspires us through his positive life views, his principles in friendship and finally his determination. These qualities have captured the hearts of fans worldwide. His journey of life starts from being lonely, heated, being shunned in the village and being misunderstood to becoming the most beloved person in all the five villages. In his elementary school he was the weakest boy in the class and barely managed to survive in school, his classmates treated him as a monster and so did the whole village. Despite being oblivious to the reason of receiving such treatments and being feeling unfair, he never let them get the best of him; he always saw good in people and served the best he could. His principles about friendship is fascinates the audience; how can a boy dedicate his life for bringing his friend to right path who was blinded to seek revenge. Last but not the least, his determination teaches us how we can achieve anything- all that is needed is hardship and not giving up.

 


Naruto’s character shows an unwavering positivity throughout the 27 volumes of manga which is 26 seasons of anime which is inspiring for real life situations too. From an early age, orphan Naruto had to face rejection and isolation in his village Konoha. He was seen as a monster as he had the presence of the nine tailed fox within him sealed by his own father in order to protect the village. Despite facing all the cold shoulders, he always stayed cheerful and was seen playing around doing mischievous acts to entertain the villagers. He had an unbreakable spirit to confront the adversity with smile and love. From fighting the most powerful enemy to counter any personal drawbacks, his optimism remained unshakable. In the anime many characters were shown who had similar past as Naruto and almost every one of those characters got frustrated and went to the wrong paths and were shown as negative characters harming and exterminating innocent lives. These characters portrayed the imagery of what could happen to Naruto if he somewhere along the way lost his optimism and positivity. His unwavering belief in the goodness of people and his belief that even the worst man in the world has some good in him and can change if given effort. His life mantra “Dattebayo” (believe it) portrays his idea that with a positive attitude, anything can be achieved. This positive attitude works as a guiding light to the audience who are lacking hope and optimism in life.

 




Naruto when it comes to friendship is not just any abstract concept, rather it serves as one of the central themes and drives the whole plot. Naruto has an incredible sense of strong, unwavering friendship which he demonstrates by constantly going great lengths for his friends. As a child, Naruto was a child who was an outcast in the society thus being lonely all the time. So to an extent, all he wanted in life was approval of the society, family hood and friendship. A huge amount of the audience believes that, he wanted to become the Hokage of the village because he thought that a Hokage is someone who is loved and acquainted by people all the time. He believed that if he succeeded in becoming the village head, he will manage to make friends. The theory is heartbreaking yet connects the dots perfectly. Time and time again, he showed that he does not have to achieve a certain position to make friends. He formed deep and lasting friendship with ninjas his age like Sakura, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Kiba, Shino, Rock lee, Gaara. Naruto’s friendship does not follow any boundaries when it comes to making friends. He formed a great companionship with everyone around him characters like Kakashi, Iruka, Jiraiya, Konohamaru, Killer B although not the same age as him they also shared such a relationship with Naruto that can best be described as loyal and unbreakable friendship. With his power of friendship, he countered many antagonists and eventually influenced them to change for the betterment. Whenever any of his friends fell in any discomfort or problem of any sort, they would always find Naruto by the side even in a life or death situation, Naruto never let go of his friends. He was ready to lose everything and dedicated a major part of his life just to bring his friend Sasuke back to the village. Such an optimistic character was only seen broken once when his friend was declared an international terrorist.  His principles of friendship are an inspiring testament that impacts sympathy, empathy, loyalty and support in facing adverse situations which makes it the most cherished aspect of Naruto.

 


The most attracting and inspiring quality of Naruto is his determination specially the quality of never giving up. This is the best defining quality of his character as we see Naruto work day and night to become the strongest shinobi of all five villages from the weakest kid of his class. From an early age Naruto repeatedly faced several overpowered enemies and insurmountable challenges. However, his unbeatable will and relentless pursuit of goals brought him success every time. Throughout the seasons long and intense fights are shown but all those fights had one single thing in common, that is Naruto’s will to win. Naruto always acknowledged the ability of his opponents in every time, however he knew that he could not afford to lose any fight as that would risk the life of the innocents. The major demonstration is seen during Naruto’s fight against Pain. Pain was the character who was definitely ten times if not hundred times more powerful than Naruto at the time. The discrepancy of power, techniques, experience were clearly visible yet, he managed to survive and with his willpower, he defeated the enemy. In the fourth shinobi war Naruto managed his determination to every shinobi fighting in the war and helps then stay persistent against impressive power of Obito, Madara and the most powerful Kaguya. Definite failure was the obvious expected result of the war, but their will to protect everyone drove the war to the winning side. The long and persistent fights are the embodiment of- ‘’It is not over until I say it’s over” and “I didn’t lose until I give up.” Naruto expresses these by using his catchphrase- “I am not goanna runaway that is my ninja way.” His character serves as an enduring source of inspiration for fans, reminding us all that with determination and persistence, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve our goals, no matter how challenging they may seem.



Naruto’s firm principles of positivity, friendship and determination is not only a compelling part of the fantasy Naruto universe rather it is inspiring for real life as well. His unbeatable spirit, unwavering belief in friendship and strong stand against giving up is a timeless reminder for his audience that with the power of positive attitude, genuine friends and indomitable will can take someone towards success. In Naruto’s case, it helped him to get everything he ever wanted. Naruto’s journey from an isolated orphan to a revered ninja and leader is a testament to the enduring strength of these principles, resonating with audiences around the world and offering a message of hope and resilience that extends far beyond the realm of anime and manga.
