Masashi Kishimoto’s masterstrokes in Naruto

Masashi Kishimoto’s strength lies in his ability to create complex characters. He has spoken many times about his obsession with characters and their personalities and admitted that he can’t make a character do something that goes against their nature. Of course, the mangaka has created gems like Itachi Uchiha, Gaara, Rock Lee, Jiraiya, and many more.

When Naruto defeated Gaara, he never had to fight his opponent, but instead won by connecting with Gaara on a deeper level. Gaara was abused as a child and had to deal with a lot of pain and hardship. Naruto was able to understand Gaara’s pain because he too survived without anyone to care for him.

Rock Lee, on the other hand, only uses taijutsu because he doesn’t know how to use ninjutsu. He had to work harder than anyone else to be on par with the other shinobi. His legendary fight against Gaara proved how hardworking he was. Jiraiya, Naruto’s perverted sensei, was the only one who cared for Naruto as a father figure. However, his death was orchestrated to give Naruto a chance to grow and come out of his cocoon. It was after Jiraiya’s death that Naruto made the difficult decision to let go of his rage and pain, immediately differentiating himself from Sasuke.

Of course, there are several characters in Naruto who have the most beautifully crafted yet tragic stories. Fans love Naruto not only because of his fight choreography, but also for his unique way of solving things via Talk-no Jutsu.

You can read Naruto on Viz Media and watch the anime on Crunchyroll.
