NARUTO―ナルト― 72 by 岸本 斉史, Masashi Kishimoto

5.0

DETAILED , EXCITING & INSPIRATIONAL ! .... contains spoilers ! duh !

AMAZING STORY WITH DETAILS
Masashi Kishimoto did an absolutely amazing work. The start/plot/end all synchronized in such a perfect way. The climax reached to the the very last volume ! This story will stay with me forever. The characters were awesome, stage was awesome, the very idea of jutsu and how precise every jutsu, every action was. That was just extraordinary ! Hats off to Masashi Kishimoto !

Where it all began

Loved the team 7. Didn't really like Sakura initially but she turned out fine.

I think I will go write about how I felt about some of the important characters in the series.

Naruto ! image: Naruto

The character had an amazing backstory ! Obviously felt bad about him without his parents and being always alone. The way he held himself and did various nuisance to attract attention. It was all inspiring. The character development was great ! Naruto having his own ideals. And some inspirational parts where he keeps failing and gets up every time ! To move on even though he lost a lot of people ( Jiraiya sensei specifically ) . And his initial struggles with Nine tails. All that was truly inspiring. He never lost a battle in the entire series, that was a little surprising ! But he failed before battles so that makes sense. All in all, a perfect protagonist !
And he does become the HOKAGE !

Uchiha Itachi !

Few 'villains' are as good as him ! What an amazing character ! Obviously my favorite akatsuki member !
" Compared to us, your pain will last for so long " said itachi's parents. The choice he had to make was so horrible ! But he dealt with it so strongly ! And of course his wisdom is incomparable ! Loved that about him. His words were amazing.
" No one who dares to raise a hang against a comrade ever dies a decent death"
"Everyone lives in their own little reality "
And his final words to Sasuke " I don't expect you to forgive me but know this , what ever you choose to do, I will always love you" The character was one of most inspiring characters ever existed !

SHIKAMARU ! MY FAVORITE CHARACTER OF THE ENTIRE SERIES !
image: description

Most relate able character in the series ( apart from 200 IQ :P ) . Everything is bothersome ! Everything dull ! Oh yes . That's just how it is ! That's not the only reason I liked him. His own battles were amazing. The best one was with Hidan and Kakazu. The one with Temari started everything of course. Can't believe they got married. That escalated quickly ! And his role in final war was vital too ! And the whole thing of will of fire was amazing. That's sort of thing I am gonna adopt in my life as well !

There are never ending characters ! Some other favorite include
Gaara ( His role in war was awesome. Brilliant backstory and a brilliant rise from darkness ! )
Kakazu ( He was awesome for no reason at all ! A great ninja ! )
Lee ! ( This character was more real than any other character because of his lack of ability to perform ninjutsu. He taught us that we have to fight no matter the circumstances and hardwork will always yield a fruit ! )
Kakashi ( FOr being an awesome Ninja and a Reader :) )
Uchiha Madara ( Simply inspiring us to be as powerful we possibly can but Hashirama taught us how not to abuse the power )
Sasuke ( This character annoyed me mostly but I guess if it ends well, it's all well )
Pain ( He was just cool alright ? )
Konan ( Her sacrifice was so beautiful ! Literally ! )

And the list can keep on going !

THANK YOU MASASHI KISIMOTO FOR THIS EPIC ADVENTURE !
