JayOtaku: Naruto

First post on JayOtaku tag! Yay! 

Cue cricket sound.....

Well I cannot consider myself as an Otaku because I do not have an obsessive interest with manga, anime and games. My interests are quite moderate but enough to cause me to distract me from anything I was suppose to do. Tee-hee!

As to an honor of my first post of the JayOtaku, I will be posting about my all time favorite manga:-

NARUTO

For every bold words/phrase with * symbol with them, please refer to Naruto basic 101 below. Wink!

Naruto Shippuden or just Naruto is an adventurous plus action story of a boy name Uzumaki Naruto who dreams to be a *Hokage.

Naruto parents, sacrifice themselves to install the 9-tailed-fox beast, *Kurama, into his body to save the village from the beasts rage. Unbeknownst by anybody but the highest members of the Konohagakure's governments, Naruto's father is actually the ...(spoiler. so can't tell. Tee-hee)... Naruto's mother, in the other hand, was from the  Uzumaki *clan, the only clan that able to become Kurama *Jinchuriki.

Naruto was hated, or rather, the beast inside him was despised by the villagers for its destruction on the village. However, the hatred was soon change by Naruto's carefree, optimism, courage as well as Naruto's ability to save the village from one after one destruction from multiple enemies.

Naruto is a story of love, friendship, team-spirit and family. There are some comical here and there but mostly action. Definitely not your regular childish cartoon. Both manga and anime is not really suitable for child under 12. Unless you like you 8 year old staring at some busty chick and perverted toad!

*Naruto basic 101:  
Hokage is a title of the village head of the Konohagakure or Village of the Leaf in English.

Jinchuriki is a human vessel to seal, hold or trap a powerful mystical monster. Most Jinchuriki are either feared or hated but not Jinchuriki him/herself, rather than that, it was the monster that was sealed within them.

Kurama is the 9-tailed-fox. It is currently sealed within Naruto. Only the Uzumaki clan was known to be the Junchuriki of this beast: Uzumaki Mito, Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Naruto.

Clan refers to a house, a family or probably and ethnicity. Every clan have their own unique appearance and ability as well as certain role in their village. 
For example, the Uzumaki clan is known for their Fuinjutsu, a powerful sealing technique, which the Uzumakis use to seal objects, living beings, *chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object. They are also known for their longevity and life force, thus being the only clan to seal the powerful Kurama within them. Sealing a powerful beast, especially Kurama within an inappropriate or weak candidate can lead to death for the jinchuriki and then cause havoc if Kurama is to be released. Most Uzumaki clan are red haired. Their roles, of course, to become the candidate of the next Jinchuriki. Other than that, they can become a *shinobi to protect the village by using their fuinjutsu at times of war. Their clan's symbol is spiral, ironically, Uzumaki means whirlpool. 

Chakra is an energy force that is used even for a basic technique like walking on the water, exhaling fire or creating illusion.

Shinobi for men and kunoichi for women are both refer to ninja.
