Naruto. (Manga) ^o^

As  I said in my last post, I started to read Naruto for my Literature class, it has been something unique and interesting!

 

So...

1. What did I learn about Naruto in these 10 chapters?

Naruto, is a history based on the Japanese culture, in the Manga there are expressions written in Japanese that I just can't understand. Also is really mentioned the word "ramen" referring as food, so I believe that ramen is one of the most famous saucers in the Japanese world. 

The names are also weird, for example: Sakura Haruno, a girl that Naruto is in love with, but she's in love with Sasuke Uchiha, a really serious character that hides his feelings. The three of them want to accomplish really important things and in some way, they want to be recognized by the rest of the people. 

 

Naruto is the main character in the history, he wishes to become Hokage, the most acknowledged leader in the entire village.  

I realized that he's a boy with no parents, that everyone thinks he doesn't fit in that world because there's a legend that says that he's the nine-tailed fox (a dangerous phenomenon than can cause a major disaster), so everyone hates everything he does, but he tries to be acknowledged by the people, he's a lost boy that's trying to find his way doing things that he may thing are correct but he ends up being a mess. 

He's really stubborn, he doesn't obey anyone but his instincts, he never gives up because he wants to be recognized by everyone and he believes that he can achieve everything he wants to. Iruka, his teacher, knows he has potential and special abilities that can make him become Hokage, and for that, he's going to be a really essential support for Naruto. 

Naruto is a really interesting history and you can learn a lot of things about the Japanese culture, this is some of the things that I learned about the culture:

*food: ramen.

*beliefs: big monsters/creatures (nine-tailed fox), chakra, acupuncture.

*clothing: headbands, long shirts, sandals, baggy pants.

*medicine: a strange way of healing people is with natural ingredients. 

 

 

2: Where do I predict the story might go after here? 

  

I imagine the rest of the story with big obstacles but at the end with a happy ending.

I think that Naruto is the nine-tailed fox and there will be a part in which he will be fighting with another enormous monster, but the only way he can protect the village from the monster is if he brings out his inner monster because is the only way to destroy the enemy monster. 

Naruto will know that there are possible risks: when he kills the monster, he is going to die too or that once he turns into a monster, he will stay like that forever. So he decides to become a monster and then the village hopes that he will save them from the enemy monster even though they don't care about Naruto's future.

 

In the crucial fight, there will be a moment of weakness for Naruto, he will think that is the end but he will realize that no matter if the people of the village don't care about him at all, at the end is also his home and he has to protect it. 

Naruto will win after all, and there will be a witch that can will help Naruto become a person again. After that, the people in the village will realize that Naruto saved their lives and their home, so he will be acknowledged by all of them, and he will become Hokage.  

Sakura will fall in love with Naruto and they will get married and have a kid, but the kid is not going to be human.
