My Story
In 1999, when Rurouni Kenshin ended in Weekly Shonen Jump, NARUTO began to be serialized at the same time in an imposing manner. As if to fill the loneliness, I started reading it as a "Japanese" frame of Jump in the same vein. As I was already an adult, ninja manga was nothing new to me, but anyway, I was completely fascinated by Naruto's innocence, energy, and cuteness, and the first episode just made me cry. Naruto drinking expired milk all by himself was so adorable that I wanted to hug him, and I felt as if he were my little brother who was far away from me in age. There was a time when I had no time to continue reading the manga itself, and I became a book reader and stayed away from it, but when Naruto and Kushina met for the first time, I cried so hard! I rushed back to read all the episodes and have been reading in real time ever since. I read all the episodes again in a panic, and from then on I read most of them in real time. I have continued to enjoy Naruto as I was offered, from the last episode of the original and anime, to the movie THE LAST, to the outside story of Sarada and Mitsuki, to the movie BORUTO, to the start of the original and anime BORUTO. I have been enjoying the movies as they are offered to me. I have been a fan of Kishimoto Sensei and Ikemoto Sensei for the past 25 years.
Favorite scene / line
Naruto and Obito's exchange in the original Naruto episode 653 was the most piercing. It is one of Naruto's most famous quotes, What I want to know is not the easy way. I want to know how to walk the hard road. The line that follows is also excellent. A fire shadow is a person who walks in front of everyone while enduring pain. The path is made because someone has walked it, and the path is made because someone has paved it. I applauded Naruto's courage to continue to face up to the difficulty of the path, and I was impressed that this is something adults should not forget. In the original BORUTO story #42, Sarada's Papa...lend me your strength! Chidori! I was so impressed along with the anime. It was too cool! Sarada was the best captain who believed in himself and started running in a situation where he had no choice but to do it, even if it was incomplete. BORUTO original story #80, Bolt's 'We can't let this end with a brother-killer... we have to make it a brother fight! That's what I would have done...! Dad would! I cried when I saw Naruto's image overlap here. I was so moved by Bolt's acceptance of his own powerlessness and his strength to face the situation head-on.
Stories I'd love to see
I would like to see BORUTO's last boss fight in a movie! I hope Naruto Sasuke is back too lol.
