Naruto as an Anime

Naruto is an anime and manga created by Masashi Kishimoto about a loud, hyperactive ninja, the young man who is in a constant search for both approval and recognition, and with a great aspiration to become Hokage. First published as a manga series in Japan by Shueisha in the 43rd edition of Shonen Jump magazine in November 1999, the Naruto series has grown in popularity exponentially and has since been approved in the U.S. (Becoming the best selling title of VIZ Media), and nearly two dozen other countries, with the anime series currently airing in 18 countries.

Twelve years before the start of the series, a Kyuubi (nine tailed fox demon) attacked the Hidden Leaf Village. A swing of one of its mighty tails could raise tsunamis and flatten mountains, chaos reigned throughout the town that killed many people, until the leader of the Leaf, the Fourth Hokage, defeated it by sacrificing his own life to seal the demon inside a newborn child is Uzumaki Naruto.

The Fourth Hokage would always be welcomed as a hero for sealing the Kyuubi and saving all the people. It was his wish that Naruto also be respected in the same way he would, however, this was not the case. Everyone in the village avoided Naruto, regarding him as nothing more than the evil demon fox. The Third Hokage made a rule within the village that other villagers were forbidden from mentioning this event to anyone, even their own children, however due to the way their parents treated Naruto, they mistreated him as well for most part of his childhood.

Sasuke Mangekyou Sharingan Contacts - The Story Behind The Lenses

Sasuke Mangekyou Sharingan Contacts - The Story Behind The Lenses

Sasuke is the youngest boy of Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto. Apart from being the captain of police his dad Fugaku was also the head of the Uchiha clan to which Sasuke belongs.

Similar to any other family where the youngest son is nearly always looking up to his older brother, Sasuke learnt to grow up in his brother's, Itachi, shadows.

To make matters worse, Itachi was always seen as the special one by both the members of his clan and people from the village. Although he tried hard to shine, Sasuke quickly realised that his accomplishments were only measured to those of this brother's even by his own father.

As the years went by, the rivalry between the two brothers grew and this was acknowledged by his elder brother when he compared himself to a wall which Sauke had to climb over to get any recognition.

Fortunately for Sasuke, Itachi's behaviour began to change for the worse which brought his father closer to him and away from Itachi.

It was his father that taught him the great Fireball Technique which is seen as a rite of passage within the Uchiha clan. However when Sasuke tried to perform it for the first time, the results were less than impressive resulting in his father mentioning that his elder brother was able to accomplish the same feat on his first attempt.

This served as great motivation for Sasuke and after practising hard for only a week, he was able to perform the technique in front of his father. This finally gave him the recognition that he had long for. He could now stand tall and out of his brother's shadows.

As a reward, his father allowed him to wear the clan's emblem on his back and warned him not to follow in Itachi's footsteps.

Things got out of hand when one night, all the members except for Sasuke were slain by Itachi in a feat of rage. Sasuke also learnt that the reason why his brother did not kill him was because he was according to him, not even worth killing.

Itachi also mentioned that he knew that his actions on that night will make Sasuke hate him enough to want to kill him. He also revealed the secret location where the clan would meet and what he should do to awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan.

As far as he can recall, Sasuke's recollection of events that night are a bit blurry but he later remembered that he found out how to finally awaken his Sharingan and pursue Itachi. After killing his brother, Sasuke learnt that Itachi was under strict orders from the Konoha Elders to murder his own clan members and that he in fact loved his younger brother. This resulted in Sasuke vowing never to stop until the Elders and their last child had been destroyed.

Uchiha Sasuke's sword made its debut in the popular manga Naruto Chapter 308 and the blade's name was highly debated among fans worldwide. In that chapter which was titled "Sasuke's Strength", Yamato Taichou tried to stop Uchiha Sasuke's sword with his kunai but failed. Instead his kunai was cut in two by Sasuke's sword. Sasuke later quoted "You see, the sword of Kusanagi I hold here is a little special. It's the kind that can't be blocked". This caused some confusion because readers who have followed the manga since the beginning would know that Orochimaru also had a sword of Kusanagi when he battled it out with the 3rd Hokage, only difference is Orochimaru's Kusanagi looked more like a katana.

Sasuke's Sword of Kusanagi is a chokuto which is a straight Japanese sword. The chokuto's design was originally from China and Korea. It was developed before the Japanese blacksmiths discovered differential heat treatment which later gave birth to the best martial arts weapon ever - the Japanese katana. The chokuto is easily distinguished by its straight blade which is a rare feature in most Japanese swords these days.

The Kusanagi or more popularly known as Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (Sword of Kusanagi) actually had its origin from a Japanese myth. Legend has it the Japanese god Susa-no-o had an encounter with Ashinazuchi, the head of a family with eight daughters. Ashinazuchi previously lost seven of his daughters eaten by a giant eight-headed serpent called Yamata-no-Orochi. The serpent was coming back to feast on his last daughter Kushinade-hime. The desperate Ashinazuchi begged Susa-no-o to save his daughter which the Japanese god agreed in exchange for Kushinade-hime's hand in marriage.

Susa-no-o devised a plan and instructed Ashinazuchi to prepare eight vats of sake, each placed separately behind a wall with eight gates. The giant serpent came and took bait, slithering each of its eight heads through each gate. In an instance, Susa-no-o emerged and severed all eight heads before turning to the serpent's tails. Susa-no-o later found a sword inside the Yamata-no-Orochi's slain body which he named Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi or "Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven". He then presented the sword to the goddess Amaterasu to settle an old grievance. The sword's name was later changed to Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.

In the Naruto manga, Orochimaru calls out the Kusanagi sword from a snake's mouth (the snake's head juts out from Orochimaru's mouth). Orochimaru's character which is skilled in snake jutsu is actually drawn from the serpent Yamata-no-Orochi. In chapter 392, Orochimaru broke free from Sasuke's control and used his Hydra technique to reappear as an eight-headed giant serpent. But unlike the story in the myth, Susa-no is the name of the ultimate jutsu that Uchiha Itachi used together with the Sword of Totsuka to seal Orochimaru in an illusion genjutsu for all eternity. The jutsu Susa-no took on the form of a giant spirit with sharp nose, jagged teeth and three hands - one holding a shield, one carrying a container and the remaining hand wielding the Sword of Totsuka when it is released from the container.
