You know how your parents teach you about life. You can learn about life through Naruto. For people who don’t know Naruto is an anime and it is one of the best animes ever created. It has more than 600 episodes, and I know that sounds a lot but once you start watching it, you won’t stop. You’ll fall in love head over the heels with the characters.

In this article, I wanted to share the things which I learnt from watching the series. And trust me, this anime teaches you a lot, no matter what age you are, I definitely recommend watching Naruto. I won’t go into the details explaining about the character because it will take ages if I start rambling. So, here’s my take on some of my favorite characters and things which you can learn from them.

  1. Kakashi Hatake
Kakashi Hatake

Kakashi, one of the best ninjas of The Leaf Village. His character teaches you why you shouldn’t even bother about the rules of right and wrong when it comes to saving a comrade or a friend. You have to prioritize the ones you love and care about over everything in life.

2. Jiraiya

Jiraiya

One of the three “Legendary Sannin”. Although he has been portrayed as a perverted character but there’s an episode which shows his true nature and his true love for Sunade. He teaches us how it is okay to love someone with all your heart even if the other person doesn’t reciprocate your feelings. His depth of love and hope is truly one of the most inspiring things. It shows that if you truly love someone, then you can wait for them until the end of time to love you back.

3. Itachi Uchiha

Itachi Uchiha

My favorite character in the whole series. The true meaning of love and sacrifice is shown by him. He shows how strong a desire to love and protect someone you love is. If you truly love someone then no matter what the consequences are, you have to do everything in order to protect them and keep them safe and happy.

4. Gara

Gara

Gara’s character shows the power of love an friendship. Gara shows that with love, we can change anything and anyone.

5. Sakura

Sakura

Her character teaches patience and will. He character shows that you might be bad at many things, you might not be strong as your friends but if you make up your mind and put your heart into something, you’ll achieve it sooner or later.

6. Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke Uchiha

Brother of Itachi and best friend of Naruto. He teaches us why love and friendship should be the things around which your lives should revolve, not power and fame.

7. Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto Uzumaki

What can I say about him? He teaches you everything. The importance of friendship, promises, staying true to your words. It doesn’t matter from where you start, you can always change your destiny. Why it is important never to give up and let go of a friend no matter how bad things get. He shows that you can’t reach to the top without the help of your friends.

There are a lot of other amazing characters in the anime like Lee, Pain etc. from whom you can learn a lot of things but the most important thing which this show teaches you is the importance of friendship.

Honestly, I want to apologize to my readers because the words which I have written above for the characters doesn’t do justice to the nature if the characters and the things which they teach us. There’s so much more to it than my shitty writing can comprehend. Please, watch the Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden anime. I assure you, you won’t regret it.
