So many Naruto characters want to be immortal.

[BishamonSama]

This isn't really a prediction thread or a debate thread... just a nice little discussion thread

SO MANY Naruto characters are consumed by their attempts at finding the secrets to infinite life, or at least by their attempts to prolong their lives.

1. Kakuzu. He steals the hearts of his enemies and incorporates them into his own body. He was something like 150 years old, if I remember correctly.
2. Hidan. He's the only "real" immortal, gaining this power from his worship of his "Lord Jashin".
3. Orochimaru. Need I say more?
4. Sasori. Turned himself into a puppet with a core of living tissue.
5. Nagato. Nagato went BEYOND wanting to be immortal and went on to wanting to be worshipped as a god.
6. Tsunade. She modifies her appearance to look young. That way, she can maintain her own self-delusion of eternal youth.
7. Madara. It's not quite clear how he's managed to live for so long, but it's obvious that he wishes to live forever.
8. Sasuke. Sasuke wishes to immortalize himself by recreating his clan. He wants to father future generations, passing his DNA on to a new Uchiha clan.
9. Gai. Gai wishes to be young forever, and he attempts to perpetuate this delusion by constantly training himself and convincing himself that he still possesses the "fire of youth". Inside, he is nothing but a scared, immature child.

So what's the significance of all this, if any? Anyone have any comments?

 

[TOBI!]

Nobody wants to die or get old:| So odd isnt it?xd

 

[JiraiyaSensei]

heck, if I could, i wanted to live forever too

 

[BishamonSama]

Well, it makes sense that they'd want to do this. I just find it interesting to look at their personalities by thinking about them like this

 

[Sonne]

heck, if I could, i wanted to live forever too

Believe me you wouldn`t,not only you couldn`t stand the pain of your loved ones aging and you being the same,you would feel pain

 

[Uchiha Riyo]

some of it isn't true,sasuke doesn't really want to be immortal i think,he just wants revenge and madara just wants' to destroy konoha

Interesting comment you made. People Dream of Eternal Youth. Once they attained it, they do not know what to do with it. That is why they are Humans.

Welcome to the forum...and know that people dont like philosophers,just try to be as simple as possible

[missing]

man just say one person who wouldn't like to be young, strong, beutifull for ever? just name one....anyone that participated in this treath name one.......i can't.....because i would like but if only my soul mate would be imortal as well if not...when se died i woul cut my head of....it's the only plausible way to do it XD

This could turn into quite an intersting philosophical debate, so I'm going to start it (bratty as I am):

Imagine that scientific research suddenly found the solution to the problem of 'aging'. At a chosen age, you can thus take a pill/shot/undergo cell therapy etc.. that stops your body from 'aging' when your cells reproduce. Would you say yes to this? Once you start treatment, you cannot go back. That is, you will stay the way you are (at whatever age you were when you started treatment), and live forever (unless mortally wounded). Forever. Time will change, and you will, of course have to deal with these changes. Cultural, social, political, hell; biological for that matter. You cannot die.

Would you do it? Why? Why not? What could be the implications and benefits (except for the obvious one, as Tobi! so eloquently made clear for us) for doing this?

Would you really want to live Forever?

I'm currently doing research on this, and would much appreciate your lengthy answers, my dear new friends and foes.

(Apologise for the scrupulously rude non-Naruto interruption of topic..)

Ah. Excellent point.

More! (uhm.. if you please.. thank you)

madara is the only true immortal. he doesnt have to do anything to stay immortal all the others do

Welcome to the Forum, Toruna, and know that I do like philosophers

 

[kisamexRocks]

Kakuzu was 91 when he was defeated not 150.

But I think Hidan was actually the true immortal, but so far Madara seem's to be the oldest living character.

But if you had the option to be immortal I think people would take it.

 

[JiraiyaSensei]

Believe me you wouldn`t,not only you couldn`t stand the pain of your loved ones aging and you being the same,you would feel pain

that's probably true

then let's say: i could live forever, but when I decide it's time..then I can end it, if i wanted
