INTRODUCTION
I was asked to write about my favorite anime. To be honest, this is really unfair to me, reason being that I have so many favorites and it’s very hard to choose, but I guess I am left without much choice on the matter. I thank @@@bestofindia for this contest.
So if a gun was pointed to my head and I was asked to choose, I would dwindle a bit obviously, but I would go for Naruto! I know you may think that is obvious because of the popularity and whatnot, but trust me, it’s so far from it, Naruto is an anime that presents the world in its reality and also presents it with the hope that with love and companionship, every pain or evil can also be overcome.
Words can’t express how excited I am to write about this. Well since I am talking about my Favorite anime, allow me the Honor to present my Favorite characters.
Don’t get me wrong, they all have a role to play, all the characters I mean, but these ones have special places in my heart, and anytime I am called upon to talk about Naruto, they always come first, so here they come, the shinobi of the hidden leaf, the Akatusuki and the best of the fucking Hokage’s:
1. Jiraiya Ero-senin:
Just mentioning this name brings tears to my eys, I am sorry I have to start with tragedy but his death remains the most painful death to me in the whole Naruto series. While investigating the Akatsuki he ran into pain and had to fight the 6 paths of pain and died in the process, but Jirayai didn’t deserve to die in my opinion, but what does it matter tch.. well well, also known as the Pervy sage, and his overwhelming indulgence to peeping on beautiful women having their baths, he always ran into problems with Tsunade, his crush at the time, and a lady with exceptionally big Opai(Breast).
Jiraiya was one of the Legendary Sanin and his companions Tsunade and Orochimaru. He later became the |Mentor and teacher and a father figure, to the main character Naruto, and he passed on his pervy ways to him. He ws always gregarious and happy and fun to be around, He also was a writer and his novel The tale of the Gusty ninja would remain the main motivation for his student Naruto.
2. Tsunade:
Her big boobs are a beauty to behold, and she has the best healing magic in the whole series, so breassst helps in good health. Also she is very strong and when she enters the sage mode, tch it’s a sight to behold.
3. Minato(4th Hokage):
Also known as Konoha’s Yellow flash, yes, you heard right! The yellow flash, he used a teleportation jutsu that allowed him travel instantly to wherever his shuriken was thus making him so formidable. He doesn’t have a long role in the early parts of Naruto’s life as he sacrificed himself and his wife to save the village from the 9 tails by sealing it into there son Naruto. He was also a student of Jiraiya and was later reincarnated during the 4th great ninja war to help in fighting off obito and Madara.
4. Kakashi(6th Hokage):
Also known as Kakashi of the sharigan and also the copy ninja, this dude received a very sad birthday gift, in that obito, his teammate who was an uchiha, sacrificed his eyes for him as he met an untimely death while acting the hero to save kakashi and Rin. During their escape ie Rin and kakshi, rin revealed to him that she was marked and was a ticking time bomb and asked kakshi to kill her, but kakashi couldn’t, during his fight with their pursurers, rin jumped into one of kakashi;s attackes and was killed, Tobi(obito) saw this and harbored deep hatred for kakashi withought knowing that it was a manipulation of the actual truth.
Kakashi suffered from the trauma of that day and also the darkness of his fathers past and struggled so much as a shinobi, but he was a genius and helped in the teaching of the new generation of Shinobi.
5. Itachi:
Itachi may look like a villain to most people, but to me he remains a hero, taking on the weight of a whole country on his shoulders, just to avoid conflict and war. He was very talented and played a very big role in the shadows of the konoha, eventually been ordered to kill every member of his clan, which he did while sparing his only brother ie Sasuke. This resulted to Sasuke breeding hatred and trying to get stronger in other to kill his brother. Itachi remains the ultimate Gengetsu user and he always have this cool demeanour when he was fighting. Moreover you had to be thoroughly skilled for him to waste time fighting you.
6. Shikamaru:
A born genius, after the death of his sensei he swore to avenge him which he did, he is the most intelligent of all the shinobi of his age grade, and always have a way to come out of any situation.
7. Madara:
one of The main villain of the story, a formidable opponent and one of the greatest Shinobi ever, he is as strong as much as he is skilled. He takes on thousands of shinobis and none would harm even a hair on his head. This guy created shadow clones and used it to beat the Hokages. His only matching opponent Is Hashirama, his childhood friend and rival. People claim that Itachi would be able to beat him, yes itachi is good but its going to be a duel to really watch.
8. Sasuke:
Motivated by the betrayal of his brother and killing of his whole clan and parents, little sasuke pursed strength and power, he never had any time for weak people and this made him mad watching Naruto trying hard at little things one ought to know, he often called him a failure, which motivated Naruto to always work harder to get to him, but each time, sasuke drifts farther away from him. In his quest for power, he sorts out orochimaru and offers his body as a test vessel for new powers, Power he gains quite alright, but was never able to really defeat Naruto. After the 4th great ninja war, due to some circumstances he decide to work as a shadow for the hidden leaf village. With Naruto as the Hokage. He later became the mentor of naruto’s son, Boruto.
9. Hinata:
Lovely and resilient hinata, after being taunted fro being weak, she met Naruto who she fell in love with and tried so desperately to protect whenever she could. Even at the cost of her own life.She is cute.
10. Naruto(7th Hokage):
The main character of the Anime, Uzumaki Naruto, His spirit and companionship and passion coupled with his unwavering determination to become the Hokage was what made this anime worth watching more than anything. He was so whimsical, very humble and loved his friends to death. His motto remained that he could never watch a comrade or a friend die, and he tried his best to keep up to that.
Despite been isolated during his younger days and seen as a devil, he never stopped at making sure that the village was protected even until his grand goal was accomplished. He would face many difficulties which would be resolved by his faith in his teammates and his love for sasuke led him into countless battles to win his old friend and rival back from the den of the Akatsuki.
Naruto was the vessel for the feared 9 tailed beast and as unrealistic as people thought it was, he made friends with the 9 tailed beast aka as Kurama. This bond would enable him fight and win many of his battles. Naruto demonstrates the kind of love not very commonly seen. The unwavering love of friendship and brotherhood. He got married to Hinata and gave birth to two children. Boruto and his sister.
Whew, that was an exhausting one right? Well, it was the little justice I could do to this very interesting topic. They are so many fascinating characters in the anime, but they are not things I would start to exhaust at this moment.
CONCLUSION
To bring this to conclusion, I would drop some very deep lines by Madara Uchiha.
“Man seeks peace, yet at the same time yearning for war…Those are the two realms belonging solely to man. Thinking of peace whilst spilling blood is something that only Humans could do. They are two sides of the same coin…to protect something…another must be sacrificed.”
And another by the copy Ninja Hatake Kakashi.
“The hole in ones heart gets filled by others around you. Friends wont flock to someone who abandons the memory of his friends and gives up on the world just because things didn’t go the way he wants them to. That wont help fill the hole in your heart. People don’t help those who run away and do nothing. As long as you don’t give up, there will always be salvation.”
And this brings to conclusion about my Favorite anime. Thank you for reading
Hey @kingmyke, Thank you for participating in the #animecontest organized by BOI community.
I eagerly was waiting for someone writing about Naruto. I am currently waiting it too.
Yeah that would definitely a case. 🤣 As there are so many anime that are amazing. Naruto is also in that list.
You have described all the important character of this series for example jiraiya and tsunade. But don't you think orochimaru can be in this list too. I was hoping to see all three legendary sannin in this list. 😅 But that's okay.
Also you have described my favourite two persons here, madara and Itachi. Don't you think what Itachi did was okay by wiping out the uchiha clan?? Just asking.
And I would like to ask a question. Who do you like more and think is powerful, Naruto or sasuke??
Well done mate, you have done a commendable job here..
Thank you and best of luck

Hi there. I am really happy you enjoyed my work. Naruto is an anime that I really love and have followed the flow of events for as long as it came out till this very day.
To come to really think of it, orochimaru should actually be on this list. I 100% agree. No problem about that, I would include him in a subsequent one.
I'm hppy you enjoyed my post.
