“I cried during the chunin exams, got hooked, and still follow it every month on V-Jump.”
(Auto-translated from Japanese)
My Story
My first encounter with NARUTO was when I saw a book in a bookstore. I remembered that my classmates were talking about it at the time and thought I should read it. I cried and got hooked on the chuunin exams, especially the battles between Neji and Hinata, and Gaoira and Lee. Not only me, but my family also liked Naruto, and I continued to buy the book with my father and siblings, and we enjoyed it as a family. I was so excited to be able to experience the final episode in real time, that I even bought Jump just before the final episode! After the last episode, I continued to enjoy the development of NARUTO Exhibition, THE LAST, and BORUTO, and now I follow BORUTO every month in V Jump. I am so grateful that I am still in a situation where I can continue to enjoy NARUTO and BORUTO with continued content. I hope to continue to enjoy it. ......!
Favorite scene / line
There are so many to choose from, but if I had to choose now, I would say that Naruto and Hinata's episode 98, "The Proud Failure! is my favorite. It is actually almost entirely about Naruto and Hinata, and I was very impressed with the way the entire episode depicts their interaction. I think the essence and strength of Naruto, who still tries his best even when things don't go well, is something that runs through the foundation of the work from the beginning to the end. I love Hinata's words of encouragement to Naruto. I was an adolescent at the time and was also encouraged. I also like the fact that Hinata is the one person of his generation to whom Naruto can express his feelings of weakness. Hinata is someone who recognizes Naruto's strength from early on, and here we learn that he is also weak in a way, but I think he is a strong person including that. Because he is such a Hinata, Naruto was able to be vulnerable and Hinata was able to accept it. I also love the fact that Naruto's hard work and his smile have influenced Hinata enough to make her want to change herself, and Hinata has also influenced Naruto through her hard work in the chunin exams and her encouragement to the proud and failed Naruto.
Stories I'd love to see
I would love to see another BORUTO movie. The next generation's exploits on the big screen! I would also like to read more episodes that delve into the relationship between Naruto and Hinata and the Uzumaki family.
