5 Absorbing Facts about Narutoverse

By: Heikal Suhaili

If you're new to Naruto then these are the 5 interesting facts that'll give you a head-start in Naruto as an anime and manga. For me, Naruto is like a role-playing game where you develop a single character to make him stronger and beat the ultimate enemy. These are the facts that surrounds Naruto in his growth to fulfil his dream to become the hokage which is presume to be the strongest ninja in the world of Naruto and is responsible to protect the village from any adversities and war.

So here are the facts about Narutoverse:

1. The Jutsus

The ability to perform various ninja techniques and works in proportion to the user's chakra which simply is their stamina. Jutsu also depends on user's chakra level in ninja rankings and their elements like wind, earth, lightning and fire. A mix of chakra elements would create a user's bloodline limit thus enable them to create a unique jutsu of their own. Take mangekyou sharingan as an example. Naruto is typically a ninjutsu user who possessed a wind element chakra.


2. The Ninja Rankings

The ninja rankings are at ascending order:

Genin
The lowest level of ninja achieved by graduating from the ninja academy which marks the beginning of Naruto's journey to become the hokage.

Chuunin
Similar to Genin but slightly tougher. This time, Naruto has to compete among shinobis from other villages and need to pass all 3 stages to become a chuunin:

a. Multiple Choice and Subjective Test

b. Survival in the Forest of Death

c. A knock-out tournament

Jounin
Is the elite ninja who normally plays a role in protecting the village and train their students. Jounins are typically like Kakashi, Asuma, Gai and Kurenai.

Hokage
The most prestigious position that Naruto strives for and still is. Is what motivates and drives him to achieve the Hokage title so that people acknowledge his strengths to protect the village from possible wars. It came from the word Kage and varies from village to another village, for instance, Kazekage controls the sand village.

3. The Villages

Hidden Leaf Village
The largest village of Konohagakure where Naruto resides and also where the chuunin exams are taken place. Undoubtedly has a significant influence among the five great villages. Founded by the first hokage by the end of the first war at the Valley End.

Hidden Sand Village
The Sunagakure plays a major part as an associate with Konohagakure. The relationship between the third hokage and the fourth kazekage broke down due to disagreement and mistrust. The Sunagakure also influenced by the Hidden Sound Village, also known as Otogakure. It is Orochimaru who plot this conflict and created a war between these two villages, Konoha and Sand. Though in the early part of the anime, Naruto's influence was less significant however as the anime develops, he become an increasingly important for relatonship of both Konoha and Sand.

Hidden Mist Village
Located in the land of water where most ninjas posses water ( suiton ) jutsus. Notoriously known as the bloody mist village with seven strongest shinobis came from the village like Momochi Zabuza and Hoshigaki Kisame. Naruto and Team 7 involved in a mission in an attempt to save an old man from the hidden mist village. Both Naruto and Sasuke fought against Zabuza as part of their early obstacles.

The other villages play less significance in the world of Naruto such as Lightning Country and Earth Country.


4. Hotspot Locations

Ichiraku Ramen
Definitely Naruto's most visited place where he energises before and after intensive training. He eats and lives with his favourite ramen and in fact, he even kept a few packs in his room for breakfast and supper.

Ninja Academy
The school of ninja academy is where Naruto's life begins. It's where he learn and educate about ninja techniques, jutsus and even strategies. Though Naruto is not the type of person who likes to sit down and study instead he perceives ninja as the ability to perform powerful jutsus and winning the battle hands-on.


Forest of Death
One of the toughest place for any ninja to be in. Yet, it's the ultimate challenge for Naruto and other ninjas to prove themselves against the best. It's by means of survival and through perseverance and hardwork.

5. Key Characters in Naruto's Growth

Iruka
Went through the same pain as Naruto. Probably the one who understands Naruto's loneliness courtesy of the Third Hokage's advice. He's the one who graduated Naruto to become a Genin and accompanied treat Naruto some ramen at the Ichiraku Ramen.

Hatake Kakashi
More commonly known as "Copy" ninja Kakashi. Famous for copying other ninja's techniques and counter it accordingly in most situations using his sharingan. He guides Team 7 including Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke. He's typically cool, calm and ruthless among his students and especially on Naruto where he suffers the most during the Team 7 journey. Kakashi may be a quiet character but his analytical ability is top-notch and understood Naruto's background.

Uchiha Sasuke
His eternal rivalry since at academy level. As they grew up, both became more attached and at once Naruto started to treat Sasuke like his own brother. Naruto has always looked up on Sasuke as a yardstick therefore working extremely hard to achieve Sasuke's level. Both have similarities but different ninja abilities. Sasuke's aim is to revive his clan whereas Naruto aims to become hokage of Konohagakure.

Jiraiya
Naruto normally calls him perverted hermit which defies who Jiraiya is. His ability is to summon toads and perform fire techniques. He is the one who taught Naruto important and powerful jutsus like the Rasengan and unlock Naruto's Kyuubi power.

Yondaime
Also known as the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure who prevent the kyuubi's attack by sealing into Naruto's body. Former Jiraiya's apprentice who entrusted his remaining jutsus to Naruto. His spiritual presence remains in most elite ninja's memory namely Kakashi and Jiraiya. Naruto's fierce determination and courage reassures Jiraiya that his potential might surpass Yondaime himself.

Uchiha Itachi
A rogue ninja perceived as a wanted criminal, who voluntarily works with Akatsuki organisation. Has a strange yet interesting personality especially when fought against Naruto. Itachi's purpose remains questionable to all Naruto fans.
