The author of Naruto is Masashi Kishimoto. He was born in 1974. By the way, let's talk about the ages of several major anime authors. The author of Death Note was born in 1969. "One Piece" author Oda Eiichiro was born in 1975. The author of "Grim Reaper" was born in 1977.
After all, by this year, Masashi Kishimoto will be 37 years old. And already married. Are the people who draw cartoons all children? Because he is in his 30s, and even Kobata Ken is in his 40s, he can continue to draw juvenile manga.
Closer to home, what do you want to say about what is left after the original chapter of "Naruto" is removed?
Initially, Kishimoto wanted to talk about Naruto's bravery and fearlessness. Of course, this is not the same blood as Luffy in "One Piece". Because Luffy is not as eager to gain recognition from others as Naruto. By the middle, Kishimoto should have achieved success, so he forgot his original intention of drawing this manga in the first place.
That is, during the battle of the Valley of the End. I remember it clearly. That is the part where Naruto persuaded Sasuke to go to Orochimaru. After all, why did the author want to spend so much time telling the story?
I don't know if everyone found it. There are two things that stand out in the Battle of End Valley. The first is Sasuke's reluctance to take revenge. Why can't Sasuke give up his hatred, this hatred is so profound that he absolutely cannot give up. And for Naruto, the emotion that he had been expecting to be recognized by Sasuke also reached its peak at this time.
I think that if Naruto is seen as Kishimoto's personal experience, then this strong desire to identify with him is his long-term emotional manifestation.
In fact, if you look closely, Kishimoto himself was probably in his 20s when he painted this passage, and he was not very famous yet. That's why he has the feeling of urgency that we 20-year-olds have to be recognized by others. Hence the existence of this kind of naruto.
But what about hatred? I don't know if anyone has noticed that Kishimoto himself likes Gaara very much. Gaara represents the lack of love, the concentrated representation of hatred without hope. Ironically, Gaara has the word love written on top of her head.
I believe Gaara's emotions are also a reflection of Kishimoto's. Perhaps most people simply don't understand the loneliness and despair that cartoonists wait in solitude to become famous. In a way, a manga artist is another kind of otaku. The so-called otaku is a group of people who are separated from society as a whole.
Before these cartoonists became famous, I believed that there were not many friends. This can be seen from the state of Naruto. All that surrounds Naruto is ridicule, sarcasm, and being seen as an outlier. You only need to think about the life of an unknown cartoonist in real life, and it is understandable.
I believe that Kishimoto has two diametrically opposed ideas. That is the hatred of society and the faint hope of being recognized by others. The so-called hatred is just the wording of the feelings that Gaara and Sasuke talked about that do not need other people's care, and then become the pursuit of life. The so-called Naruto model is the pursuit of recognition at all costs.
Fortunately, although Naruto may not have real friends at first, although he is always regarded as an imbecile in Class 7. But Naruto succeeded. I think it also represents Masashi Kishimoto's ultimate success. And luckily, Kishimoto got married.
Because he is married, there are so many topics about his parents. Look at the mother-in-law Chiyo and Scorpion, Jiraiya and Nagato, the four generations of Hokage and Naruto, Jiraiya and Naruto. In a way, it's the feeling of love.
But the manga cannot end there, because although Kishimoto is in his 30s, he still has to draw manga to make a living. So he chose to continue the problem of Naruto and Sasuke.
From this, Naruto no longer represents personal progress, but love and understanding. Sasuke represents people's hatred and unwillingness. Why Sasuke should give up revenge is an unsolved question. Whether love and understanding can resolve hatred and unwillingness. This is a traditional issue of Buddhism. As a middle-aged man, Kishimoto also went to explore classical themes.
Although it is a classical theme, it is constantly mentioned because of its long-lasting significance.
Speaking of this question, I always think of the Iraq war. The 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. Whatever the real purpose of this war is. I think this war had an impact on both Kishimoto and Oda.
Kishimoto's perspective on this war is at the national level, that is, the hatred between the two countries. This is very reminiscent of China and Japan. Here I first state my position that I am a Chinese who resolutely does not forgive the Japanese. I always think that forgiving what the Japanese did in the war of aggression against China, in the name of love and understanding, are just nice words. As a Chinese, I can't accept it anyway.
Like Iraqis should hate Americans. Koreans should hate Japanese. Palestinians should hate Americans. Arabs should hate Jews. Africans should hate Europeans. wait wait wait. The world is a web of hatred. Why should we let go of hatred, why. Why. Westerners have always looked down on Chinese people, white people despised black people. The rich bully the poor. Why should we victims give up hatred, give up our feelings, and throw ourselves into the arms of the enemy, just for the so-called beautiful love and understanding on the surface? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
I can't forgive, I just want to keep this attachment. I don't know if everyone remembers the dialogue between the blind Dongxian in "Death" and the dog-headed Kashiwa Village. Toxian wants to say that he wants to protect peace, so he needs strength. And Dong Xian also said that if he joins the Guardian Team Thirteen without doing anything, he will treat the death of his beloved woman as nothing. That in itself is a betrayal.
For this reason, Naruto said that he had the consciousness of death and wanted to fight Sasuke decisively, thereby changing Sasuke's mind and accepting hatred.
I don't know how many people understand this sentence. Naruto wants to endure hatred through violence. This is the only way I think to defuse hatred. To use a fashionable saying, when you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back. So Dong Xian said that only violence can create peace, and from this perspective, it is correct.
In fact, what Oda experienced from the Iraq War was different from that of Kishimoto. Oda sees it from the point of view of justice. As for this, since I'm writing about the connotation of Naruto. So it is not explained.
Mention a peaceful solution. The scriptures retrieved by Tang monks in Journey to the West are useless.
Why Germany and France will reconcile in the end. Because the Germans beat the French hard, and the French beat the Germans hard.
Speaking of which, many people say that Masashi Kishimoto is plagiarizing Yoshihiro Fuki's "Full Time Hunter". I don't think that's the case.
Because I hate Xiaojie, I have never read "Full-time Hunter", but from the hunter test chapter and the Hakka-beating chapter. At the beginning, it is a type story of passing one level at a time.
I admit that Kishimoto may have plagiarized Yoshihide Tomimoto.
The first is that they all start with the exam mode. In particular, the second level of Naruto and the free sparring mode can be seen as plagiarized from "Full Time Hunter".
Second, the exam requires a team fighting mode, which can also be said to be completely copied from "Full Time Hunter".
Third, there is a particularly awesome character among the candidates, and this person is very fond of killing people.
Fourth, a lot of psychological warfare is employed. For example, I often suspect that Shikamaru's character is derived from Karakupi.
Even so, Hokage has achieved great success based on the transformation.
Strictly look at the manga "Naruto", and firstly introduce the main characters who appear in the mode of the ninja exam. Then, based on that, the characters are refined.
For example, it is said that there are five major ninja villages, so we have to arrange the first task to introduce the seven people of ninja swords. Then let the reader know about Wuyin Village from the side. Then pull out the sand hidden village through Gaara and others. After introducing these. I think it's not good to have five countries alone. This assumes an Akatsuki who resembles a terrorist organization.
Of course, the introduction to know the mode is introduced through the reverse BOSS Orochimaru. Thus, it is also about Sasuke's enemy, Itachi.
In fact, about the setting of the three protagonists such as Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, as many people have told me, it may be plagiarized and borrowed from the model of Sakuragi Flower Road, Rukawa Kaede and Akagi Haruko.
As for the so-called Sannin, this is Kishimoto's deliberate reference to Naruto Sasuke Sakura's replica. Some people once joked that the so-called Sannin is pornography, gambling and drugs. Although it is a joke, it is conceivable that Kishimoto created it according to this idea. Jirai is Huang, Tsunade is gambling, Orochimaru is poison.
After talking about the main characters? Obviously, Kishimoto wanted to portray Sasuke as a villain, which is why Sasuke turned to Orochimaru.
It's a pity that Kishimoto didn't want to rush directly to the plot of the final battle between Sasuke and Naruto. That's what pulled the Xiao organization out to talk about it. Let's lengthen the plot.
So looking at the second part of Naruto, it is no longer the compact mode of pulling everyone out in one thing like the first one. Instead, using the mode of capturing the tailed beast, Akatsuki and the people from the five hidden villages appeared one after another. Until the Fourth Ninja War.
It seems that Kishimoto learned it, or the second part copied the model of Eiichiro Oda. But it can't be said so badly. Because Oda Eiichiro's model is also copied from the model of "Water Margin".
Let's talk about ninja's ninjutsu and themes (revenge and love), I believe anyone who has seen the film "Koga Ninja Post" should know it. This Kishimoto Masashi is "plagiarizing" the author of "Koga Ninja Post" again. The author serialized the novel in 1958.
No matter how much plagiarism I say. At least for the Naruto plot until now, the structure can be said to be a masterpiece of genius. Of course, the production of the animation simply ruined the work.
Maybe someone is going to argue with me about the achievement of peace. I'm here to mention an anime to discuss this issue.
I don't know if you remember what Kakashi said to Sasuke, he said revenge or something, let's just give up. Because the Avenger never ends well.
This is the price of peace. From a certain point of view, I am more in favor of Payne's view. Natural mutual understanding is also very important.
Here I want to mention the anime "Rebel Lelouch". To be honest, this work is too childish. I really don't want to mention it, but because of its popularity, I will give this example.
In the same way, force can only be quelled by force, and only understanding can bring lasting peace, and only revenge can quell all resentment. Maybe Penn and Naruto are right.
