I've been a Naruto fan for almost 4 months now. This is the best anime series I have ever seen, if I came to this world for one thing, it was for Naruto. I was thinking about the message Naruto is trying to send. I noticed that this is a series of not only jaw dropping fights, and cool moves, but of acceptance, friendship, the ability to overcome obstacles. I believe their message is that it does not matter what your background is, either you were the lazy Shikamaru, the rejected Chouji, the hated Gaara, the prankster Naruto, the lonely Sasuke, the cursed Neji, you can all fight for what you want and achieve your goals. I believe that everybody can deeply identify with one of Naruto's characters. In the end Naruto is trying to say that we must confront life with everything we got, protect our own beliefs, dreams, and most importantly our friends. But then, I can be very wrong too, so c'mon guys share your thoughts about Naruto, (we all know that Naruto is the best anime series ever, so tell us something only you know).

I'm like Zabuza. Or, who I wanted to be like. When I was young, I probably felt like murdering everybody I came into contact with around my age.

Cool post, though.

Well, its a start, Zabuza, makes sense, we all have those moments in our life. Any1 else identifies with one of Naruto's characters? Forgot to mention that I myself identify with Shikamaru, I'm just lazy, too troublesome.

Hmm.... I guess my choice would be between Sasuke or Kiba... probably more to Kiba's side. It's fun to have dogs!

im a mixture of 2 characters...
I would have to identify myself as Rock-Lee(determined and prettyboy)
& Sasuke(Lonely one)

I would say Shikamaru, I am lazy and troublesome too ooooh. I think that the message of Naruto is just like you said.

Excellent and well put post bro, and I agree with the message. But, is there one for Hinata? (My guess, shy Hinata?

OK well thier is a message in naruto. If you look really cloose you will find the message. Also this topic is in the wrong section it should of gon to naruto general.

its my favorite tv show ever

Wow, I never did read the first person who made this topic. I think that you have a great idea of what the message is.

You are absolutely right. Naruto is not your average shonen series. Most focus on fighting as the primary motivation for all the characters, and you rarely see character progression or character flaws in other shonen series. But "Naruto" strives to not only show beautiful fight scenes, but addresses each character's immaturity and shows growth at each turn. Wheither it be Laziness, Loneliness, Acceptance, Infatuation, Social insecurity, Failure, Shyness, whatever, every character flaw is destroyed by the dreams of youth, striving to become better, and to show everyone their purpose in this world. Striving to be a Taijutsu specialist, destroying the bonds of destiny, catching the eye of a certain someone, saving someone from the depths of despair, or....Yes, becoming HOKAGE!!! Naruto is one of the best anime for children (and young adults like myself) to come along in years. Though it is quite annoying, hearing children shout, "Believe it!", is a way to aid children to strive for their heart's greatest desire. Giving hope to the hopelessness, and causing the weak to become strong. "Naruto" is truly an anime for the people.

Or, you can just say that Rock Lee Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicely put Hwillis, I think that you have a great idea of where you are going in life, bleh . Rock Lee, hmmmmmm, No.

I would say I identify most with Naruto always striving to be noticed and accepted by everyone
