All the characters were warlocks who have mastered the various kinds of magic, would you be able to tell that the characters were actually ninjas? Like, short of a character saying "We are ninjas/The ninja clan/etc" would you think 'hey these guys kind of remind me of ninjas.' when reading the manga today?

EDIT: I mean start reading naruto at chapter 630 without having read the other chapters

yeah I guess I was thinking unless they actually said something like "we're shinobis" or "ninja world war" I would never realize they were ninjas.

I would decline that offer and read the series in order.I will start on chapter 1 and automatically fall in love with this masterpiece and then i'll find out about the second installment and bask in its glory once more.Naruto is simply the best.

It's really hard to say!

Like, I like in a town that has parks with palaces and other buildings, i. e., tourist attractions, and I often run into people who seem to be lost in those parks, thinking them to be huge, but from my perspective they are small. And I wonder, what would it be like, to come here for the first time in your life? But I can't imagine it, having been living here for more than 20 years. It's always hard to imagine how familiar things are like from a newcomer's perspective =D

On the first episode 12 year olds had to use chakra to clone themselves to graduate ninja school
it was never about your typical ninjas
