I guess the best thing about naruto is it's story, its sad, beautiful, happy, spirit raising, true ... etc
the best thing that I find in naruto is how everything is connected and explained(some plot holes but still), and i remember when I was watching naruto's anime(didn't like to read manga at the time) and when Zabuza was dying it made me cry(literally) I was 14 at the time and now i am 15.
The story itself is based on friendship and how one should care for one's comrades which i think is one of the most beautiful aspects in naruto and how one must always not judge people based on their bad actions because we are not them, until we reach a full acknowledgement between each other we should never judge people and people change all the time what he or she has done is the past where the person that you observe is his current self.....
its characters have influenced me in different ways, from how one should care for others(Naruto), how one should put aside their personal feelings for a greater cause(itachi), how you should act badass(tobirama)...
believe me if it wasn't for Itachi and rock lee i would never have exiled in everything, I study hard and observe the nature around me and sometimes when i talk and present my thoughts people think i am an old man who has lived more than any human, but inside there is still that 15 years old childish boy.
