Someone asked if this drawing means alot to me, so i typed like a crazy white boi and before i knew it, i couldn't stop. I could have continued, but that forum did not allow more characters in my post :hurr
I hate seeing Naruto sad, but then again... He looks so human, so hurt and yet still so strong. His speeches are often called "gay", however if i see one person saying that, i would like to punch those words right back where they should be.
His speeches have inspired me, in some way. Never to give up, a fool can outsmart a genius, friendship means more then yourself,... There where moments in Naruto where i could have cried, just because i felt so sad for Naruto. I never experienced this for any other character in any other anime. Maybe it's the cute face that i do not want to see get hurt. Maybe it's just the suffering he went trough, the shunning and such. Not being acknowledged must be extremely though. Yet he pulled himself trough that one, and fought on like a beast. In my eyes, he is a genius and not some average/low class ninja. He isn't a genin or a chuunin, nor is he a jounin. To me, he holds enough wisdom for a kage. His wisdom is not about techniques or raw battle experience, but about friends, bonds and making people smile.
Ahhh~ I feel like this is going to be a long, long rant. So get yourself a cup of coffee/bottle of lemonade or something. Maybe even some food.
Got it? Okay.
From the beginning, Naruto was pretty much ignored, hated by the majority of the villagers. Even though their beloved hokage begged them to respect Naruto and to hail him as a hero for the difficult task of being the vessel for the Nine-tailed fox, they ignored their beloved hokage's request and decided to shun him anyways. Woah, loyalty is not the new "cool" in Konoha. I felt sorry for Naruto everytime he got those cold looks thrown towards him, because he was "different". The only people who accepted him, where Iruka, Sarutobi and the ramen shopkeepers. Now, everybody called Naruto a dropout. How ironic. He proved them wrong in the first episode. A kid, learning the kage bunshin in one night. One bloody night, that's extremely fast! He even had enough energy left to save Iruka, and to create that mass amount of clones. Damn, one tough, gutsy ninja.
Later on, we see his love for Sakura, the girl that dislikes him, but worships his rival. Uchiha Sasuke, one of my less favorite characters, to be honest. God, how i laughed at Naruto and Sasuke kissing. The most funny blooper ever, and never shown in other anime's that i saw before. That's when i realised that this wasn't no ordinarely anime, no. It was something original, something... Incredible. As team 7's training progressed, Sasuke was clearly stronger and less hesitant than Naruto. Oh well, i thought to myself. I still love the character, my all-time favorite. Even a main character should have his ups and downs, flaws,... That's also something that makes this anime so realistic and you can recignise alot of things that happen to us in real life, too. Frustration because somebody is better then you, and you striving to overcome that person.
Hmm... I guess you deserve a potty break after this. Go ahead, I'll wait here.
Ah, you're back? That sure was fast. Okay, ready for more?
That's what i'd like to hear!
Good, where did we stop... Ah yes, the striving.
We see a young, hesitant yet gutsy ninja named Naruto. He looks weak, but when his friends are in danger, you can rely on him. 100%. That's what i like about him. He's funny, clumsy, kind, cute, and above all, a best friend for life. As soon as the Zabuza arc was in my possession, things changed dramatically. Both for my interest in the anime, as for Naruto. Naruto saw his best friend "die", and i saw the raw emotions, the feeling that Naruto was hurt. I felt allmost the same as him, in a way. Those words, those final words that Sasuke and Naruto shared with eachother gave me a mental blow that i can not even comprehend nowadays. I felt... sad. For a character. I was freaked out. how the hell did i like an anime THIS much? Was it... just a random feeling? The music? Yeah, the music helped. Alot. The most divine music, mixed with Naruto's words, and a hint of pain, death, loss, frustration. How i enjoyed it all. How i kept watching that episode, time and again. How i kept feeling incredibly sorry for Naruto. Strange. I thought to myself: What happened to the old, indifferent me?
Something "broke" inside of my mind. For the first time, i cared about something. I could actually visualise my best friend dieing in front of me. I could feel the cold breath of the person most dear to me. Oh well... I ignored it for a while.
Damn. Guess i couldn't ignore it anymore. Episode 17 and 18, even 19. Those episodes where so full of drama, emotion... Naruto's speech touched me. Seeing him so worked up and saying such wise words inspired me. I know, i know. It's an anime. But, the words still touched me.
"Did you really not think anything of him? He fought for you! He really liked you!
He really, really liked you!
And here it comes, the moment where i... (Not believing i'm gonna say this...) cried. the very words that opened my eyes and my heart. My heart felt like it was torn out, like Naruto's.
He could not even see his own dream. Dieing as a tool,... Is just... Too painfull!
Damnit. After watching the episode again, and again... It's still the same. The words do not leave my skull untill i go to sleep or i focus on something else. I learned that it is important to have a good friendship, but that you still need to see your own goals.
Naruto has inspired me, given me a reason to pick up this old pencil, given me a reason to feel excited again, given me a reason to... feel alive.
That's kinda the story... That's why this drawing means alot to me.
hey, i gotta give you credit! You actually read this while bunch of text.
Got more coffee? Okay, give me a sip, i'm all out of talk juice.
Thanks.
That's kind of it. Thanks for reading. I kinda put most of my emotions and thoughs about Naruto in this post, so i'd appreciate it if you repped me (IF you like it)
