Naruto

PC introduced me to Naruto a long time ago and I’ve been hooked to the series ever since. There doesn’t seem to be much point to the whole series actually, it meanders and fights take a bit long to get to and stuff, but I suppose that’s because they’re trying to stretch the series. Still it’s a pretty cool idea, the whole fox living inside his body and shit like that, that’s pretty funky. Especially since it’s got so many tails. These Japanese think of the most awesome ideas man, they’re so freaking cool!
I saw another awesome picture on the internet. Unfortunately, I do not remember where or I would give credit where due.
I found those two montages on the internet somewhere. Anyway, everyone’s favourite is either Uzumaki Naruto, Kakashi or Gaara but I’m more a fan of Sasuke Uchiha’s way of fighting in the anime. It’s much more fun than the rest because he’s like Bjorn Borg to the Naruto’s McEnroe, cool, composed, the thinking type. Yeah, much more fun.
Sure Gaara’s cool because he never sleeps (that’s why he has those dark circles under his eyes) and you can interpret the name to mean either ‘Desert’ or even more awesome, ‘Gaara of the Sand Waterfall’. He’s sort of like Naruto actually, nearly the same backstory, he also has a beast embedded in his body and he can partially transform into it and lose control.
But Sasuke’s much much cooler, and in fact he’s probably much more powerful than Naruto himself, especially when he’s being trained by Orochimaru. The best part is he has an elder brother who is way more powerful than him but who recognises that he can grow in power and actually eventually defeat him.
