In Narutoverse, there seems to be a afterlife when the people there die.Or it is subly hinted at. An example is that for the Impure World Ressurection jutsu to work, the to-be-revived soul needs to be in the Pure World, Naruto's Version of the afterlife.

Madara aims to put everyone in the world under a huge genjutsu where everything is nice and dandy. But this Genjutsu only applies to the world they are currently in.

So..if Madara happens to be too powerful and it is too late to stop the Great Genjutsu from taking place...killing their current physical selves and going to the Pure World is an option if they still desperately dislike being subjecticated.

Thoughts on this?

For the same reason YOU don't kill yourself. Hell, nobody knows what's in the afterlife, not even the Naruto characters. Obviously they're scared of dying.

But on earth , we do not have relistic evidence of the afterlife. In the NarutoVerse..there is. I was mentioning this as a last resort and if they really will not be able to stop it in time.

I mean there is a WHOLE NEW WORLD waiting for them where their old friends/family and parents have gone.

so the answer to not living in a dream world is to kill yourself huh .........................

now i'v seen it all, accepting defeat and choosing the "afterlife" is not the point of this show + they are still fighting.

this all breaks down to your understanding of the "afterlife".

But in the NarutoVerse..there does indeed have a afterlife. To me..the afterlife in the NarutoVerse does not seem to be that scary..as shown when the edo tensei jutsu was done. The dead seemed glad to return.

People logically do not want to die when they have things in this world that they still want. Friends,Family etcetera. However, Madara is threatening to take that ALL from them.

If it was ever too late to stop the genjutsu..they would have already lost everything.

To me, it seems more appealing to move on to a whole new world where everybody you know is there , having a fresh start and being able to make your own choices and your consiousness is not tampered with instead of being stuck in a genjutsu on earth forever =/

I dont kill myself beacause the IS NO AFTERLIFE, this is not a manga, this is real life. But in the manga there is, so why not kill your self indeed, Thread creator has a good point.

When Nagato was revived he admitted that 1 second passed since he died until he met Naruto again. So that kinda proves that in the afterlife it's like how it was before you were born. I'd gladly prefer an eternal Genjutsu of love only and happiness instead of death. Tsukuyomi applied in the real life wouldn't be that bad.

How do you know there is no afterlife? You don't. For the same reason you don't want to die, the Naruto characters don't want neither. Also, what afterlife is there in the Manga? Nagato said clearly when he met Naruto again, that because of death "it's like just one bit of time passed" which means that eternal darkness that you had before being born is after death.

I have only mentioned the probrability as a last resort. I really hope i am not coming off seeming like some suicidal idiot when i made this thread XD

But if they were ever too late in stopping the genjutsu.Would you rather have the characters have everything taken from them including their free will or have only some things taken from them and their free will still theirs(Plus all their friends are still with them)

Thanks for acknoledging my point :)

[SUB][/SUB]-Survival instinct.

- even for certain religions in our world, there are certain afterlives are 100% going to happen (for those who believe; they would not believe if they think it is incorrect) yet they don't kill themselves, not just because suicide is a sin for some they don't risk themselves and care for their life.

-that would be giving up; which contradicts represented themes of manga.

Hmm, you got me there..I just remembered that Nagato once said that.

But there is a possibility that this is just a effect of transition from one reality to the other. Just compare this with lucid dreaming for example. I am maneuvering in a entire world.But when i wake up..it stills feel like a instant has passed.

There is also a scene in the manga with kakashi talking to his father during the brief period he was dead. A plot hole maybe ? :shrug:

I agree with your points about survival instict and contradicting represented themes in the manga..but still to me it stills seems like a possibility that could happen at this point of writing.

I do not get what you mean about "for certain religions in our world, there are certain afterlives are 100% going to happen" though. Care to elaborate or rephrase?

There is no after life in naruto i believe zabuza said it when he came back.

Can you pinpoint me to the manga page please?

my bad :p

If the point of your thread is :

- Death.

OR

- losing free will/living in a fictional world.

then i would pick death but, dying WHILE fighting for that "free will" is the right way to do it.

suiciding is the coward's way out :yeah: and like i said bro it all breaks down to your understanding of the afterlife.

I agree with you on all points. It does indeed break down to the understanding of the afterlife too it seems.:)

That's what I'm saying. Nobody really knows how the afterlife is in reality, or in the Narutoverse. Everyone fears the unknown, it's normal.

Good point you raised. It is indeed natural to fear the unknown.But i cannot help but think and feel that the characters can just pop around any currently edo tensei hokages and just ask them.=/

This just raised another thought..technically Naruto and Sasuke can just go die..and get revived via edo tensei from a reliable guy like the 2nd Hokage. They can get their free will back from the edo tensei just by asking the 2nd to tell them the secret handsigns.

The only disadvantage is that they cannot be a jinchuriki.

Error! Kakashi died and meet his dad before rinnei tensei. And What about Minato saying to Naruto "i and Jiraiya have been watching you, we know whats going on". There IS a afterlife in Naruto. And Kishi is a religious ***** and uses alot of religion in all of his stories and arcs.

You gave me a fresh perspective once more.Thank You. Perhaps when Nagato said the phrase about only a second seems to have passed, perhaps that was just a figure of speech.
