I personally like "Izanagi and Izanami Philosophy".

It's a philosophy expressed in fictional anime where it teaches people not to dodge outcomes and defending oneself with ego, but to accept that it may be your fault and accept who you really are. A important step towards self-discovery.

Many people are actually in the side of Izanagi where they go out and try to control circumstances to feed their ego, only to find themselves unsatisfied, so they go and look for bigger things to achieve. But the answer only lies within, which is acceptance. Once they do they will immediately break free from the endless search for satisfaction and find "inner peace". And thats what I think will happen to Kabuto in later chapters. (This is an analysis I have written before Kabuto's death and haven't deleted this part so as not to lose its originality :) )

But anyway, there are many other philosophies that are interesting as well. Like when Itachi spoke about reality are simply perceptions and also Tsuchikages "stone will". So I will leave the rest for everyone to discuss.

You are welcome both to discuss what I have written regarding Izanami/Izanagi philosophy and to say your favorite philosophy in Naruto :)

There is so much great philosophy in Naruto. I think that's why I love the series so much.

Very nicely said about Izanagi and Izanami. I have nothing to add on that.

Itachi's point of view on the other hand is they way one should think in order to break "Izanami" and when I say Izanami I mean the repetition of one's mistakes, that were based on selfish motives. You can't stop making those mistakes unless you change your perception of reality and of what really matters in life.

Exactly. Indeed Naruto is an great work from a philosophical point of view. The most obvious manifestation of it is the "power to belief in self" philosophy by Kierkegaard
