My Story

I was introduced to Naruto when I was 4 years old by watching the Sasuke Retrieval Arc for the first time. After that, I would watch and not watch the anime, but I started watching the anime again with the Sasuke Reunion Arc, and from there I started collecting the books! The opening song I heard when I first met Naruto was "distance," and I still remember those days when I hear this song. I have a connection with Sasuke Uchiha in some way. I collected and read 16 volumes of the manga when I was 7 years old, and I first encountered Sasuke's real brother "Uchiha Itachi" in episode 81 of the anime I rented and watched, and I have loved him for almost 20 years since then. I later found out that the day he first appeared was my birthday, so it was inevitable that I would meet both Naruto and his brother Itachi. When I was a student, I had a tough time in club activities, and even now that I am a working adult, Naruto, Itachi, and everyone else is having a harder time. I should not be discouraged by such things! He also taught me the importance of not giving up. Naruto and Itachi are indispensable in my life!

Favorite scene / line

The scene in volume 44 where Naruto is crying with ice cream after Jiraiya's death. Naruto crying quietly comes to my heart. And Iruka-sensei is the one who saves Naruto. I love their relationship. In volume 61, Uchiha is the Itachi's dialogue. "No matter how much darkness and contradiction my village may have, I am the Itachi of Kinoha." This line is a personal interpretation, but he alone bears the stigma instead of the honor of his family and disappears into the darkness. His immeasurable kindness and love for his village, his brother's life, and his love. I think it is because his favorite word is peace. I will always love you" in volume 62. Itachi's first person is always "Ore," but this is the only time he says "Ore." Maybe it is just a coincidence, but I personally love that he uses hiragana when he says this to Sasuke!

Stories I'd love to see

I've been waiting for the anime adaptation of the novel "Xunraiden" for a long time! Brother Itachi's hobby is visiting sweet shops, so I want to see him forever searching for sweetness...
