Masashi Kishimoto loves character development more than anything and the theme is prevalent even in his villains. The backstories of characters like Itachi and Obito were what made Naruto iconic.
The author loves to draw out characters bit by bit, but unfortunately, his ideas did not receive enough appreciation from his editors, causing him to cut his ideas short. Regardless, he still came up with some memorable characters.
Masashi Kishimoto’s Original Idea for Naruto‘s Classmates
Chunin Exams Prelims | Naruto Fandom
According to an interview, Masashi Kishimoto had never intended to create the 4 people teams out of Naruto’s classmates. The original plan was to focus on various missions that Naruto would venture out on. Thus, Naruto and his team would meet teams from other villages, who would serve as rivals.
However, this idea was not approved by Kishimoto’s editor. :

With only five episodes under its belt, Kaiju No. 8, featuring Kafka Hibino as the protagonist of the series, has made a big name for itself in the anime world. The series was awaited by fans for a long time because of the popularity and reception that the Kaiju No. 8 manga got, which has been going on since 2020.
Kafka Hibino – Kaiju No. 8
While fans are happy with the story, animation, and characters of the Kaiju No. 8 anime series, the one thing that the fans were not happy about was Kafka’s physical appearance in the series.

Goku, the protagonist of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball, has received multiple power-ups over the years. From Super Saiyan 1 to Ultra Instinct, Goku’s strength has significantly grown in the series as he unlocks new forms every time he faces a strong rival or antagonist in Dragon Ball. These forms are the result of his extreme training and the need to save everyone.
Goku Ultra Instinct
However, there is one power-up of Goku that may have taken inspiration from another popular anime series. This power-up is called Perfected Ultra Instinct (Giant Form), and it looks like for this ability, Toriyama took inspiration from Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto. Toriyama’s taking inspiration from Naruto is a big achievement for Kishimoto.
The Giant Form of Ultra Instinct looks a lot like one of the strongest Uchiha techniques, called Susanoo. It made an appearance in Dragon Ball Super on two separate occasions, and...

If you were asked to name the most complex characters in Naruto, surely you would recall Kakashi, Itachi, Orochimaru, or even Madara. As it turns out, author Masashi Kishimoto’s opinion is far apart from any fan’s expectation.
It’s not the intense background-wielding characters that scare the author; it is the stubborn yet complex personality of a Team 7 member that gave him a run for his money. By now, you must have guessed the character already, yes it is Sasuke Uchiha, the deutraginist to Naruto who will be discussed in this article.
Which character was the most difficult to maintain in Naruto?
Masashi Kishimoto claims that depending on how he wanted his characters to work, there were no particularly difficult characters. However, Sasuke was the one who bothered him the most, because he he didn’t act until given an appropriate enough situation.

Fans always like crossovers, which – whether they are official or fan-made – show us a hypothetical scenario in which our favorite characters meet our other favorite characters they would usually not meet. And while in-universe crossovers are not that uncommon, inter-universe crossovers rarely happen officially, but fans are often there to create a great crossover event that other fans can enjoy. One such recent event happened when YouTube user 牙牙的包裹 (Xiaozhangdeaoliao) combined two fights from the most recent season of Jujutsu Kaisen with some scenes from the Naruto series, creating a very believable crossover fight which we are going to show you here.
Of course, this is just a fan-made video, as there is really no chance of an official crossover between Akutami’s and Kishimoto’s series, not because the two authors would be against it, but because their universes are completely different and a crossover wouldn’t really make much sense.

Naruto is one of the most well-written manga in the history of anime. Masashi Kishimoto’s magnum opus began in 1999 and ended in 2015. It became a pillar of the anime and manga industry and guided it to its boom period. Naruto Uzumaki’s journey is pretty emotional and inspiring, but initially, Masashi Kishimoto had thought of a different plot for his magnum opus.
The initial plot was nothing like the one the fans experienced today. It was simpler and had no fancy stuff. It has been almost a decade since Kishimoto sensei revealed this fascinating fact about Naruto’s original plot. The idea was discarded by the editor, but Kishimoto sensei did include the idea in Naruto and carried it on throughout.

Most Shonen heroes are missing a mother, or at least one who shows up in the series. It happened with Bleach, Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, and countless other series in which parents are no-shows. So of course, One Piece did not escape the curse either.
While Luffy’s father, Monkey D. Dragon, is an essential part of the storyline, his mother is never seen or mentioned. Any normal person would think about their mother once or twice, but not Luffy!
This led fans to think that either Eiichiro Oda sees no value in discussing Luffy’s mom or she is such a strong driving force behind the plot that she must stay hidden until absolutely necessary.
Did Eiichiro Oda accidentally hint at Luffy’s mom in One Piece?
Chapter 1057 of One Piece contained an extra story called “Where the Wind Blows.” It featured a short story about Uta and Shanks and...

The Uchiha clan in Naruto has probably suffered the worst fate in the entire series. They were massacred by one of their own to save the Konoha village. However, this doesn’t change the fact that the Uchiha Clan is considered to be one of the strongest clans in the series.
The clan has given the series some of the strongest characters like Madara Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha, and more. Although they have a plethora of strength and abilities, the power of Sharingan is the one that makes them one of the strongest.
Tobirama Senju
Aside from being one of the strongest clans, the Uchihas were also subjected to a lot of hate from many other members of the village. One particular character who had a deep hatred for the Uchihas was Tobirama Senju, the second Hokage of Konoha and the younger brother of Hashirama Senju.

Naruto is one of the most popular anime of all time. Masashi Kishimoto began writing the manga in 1999, and in 2001, it was adapted into an anime. The anime ended in 2017 after Naruto Uzumaki fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming the Hokage. It is one of the Big Three of anime and had a massive role in turning anime mainstream.
Naruto ended seven years ago, but people still prefer it over new-generation anime. Even though the Naruto franchise is regarded as one of the greatest, initially, the creator had thought of a not-so-engaging plot for his magnum opus. Masashi Kishimoto was forced to change his story and create a new one. It proved to be a generation story and his greatest work to date.

Masashi Kishimoto created one of the greatest pieces of fiction to ever exist. Naruto reached its peak of popularity, and even after ending in 2017, it remains one of the most popular anime ever. It is considered one of the Big Three of anime, along with One Piece and Bleach. Naruto Uzumaki’s journey from being an outcast to the Hokage is an inspirational story.
The fans were happy to see their favourite hero getting the recognition he deserved, but they were also sad since it was all coming to an end. They wanted a sequel, and Masashi Kishimoto was against that idea. He created an empire with his magnum opus, and there was nothing left to do. Even though he was against the idea of a sequel, he put forward a condition that was to be fulfilled for a sequel to happen.

You might know Kakashi as the dashing sensei of Naruto and Team 7. Because of his blunt and laid-back attitude, many forget about his bruised past. Masashi Kishimoto has perfected the art of traumatic character backgrounds and Kakashi is no exception to the rule.
A recent theory points out the subtle hints of Kakashi’s recovering mental health. He might be strong and arrogant, but even he needs companionship. Unbeknownst to all, his ninken serve the exact purpose.
Do the Ninken help Kakashi recover from trauma in Naruto?
Ninkens are dogs that shinobi can summon to work alongside them. Kakashi also keeps a pack of eight ninken who arrive when summoned. He mostly uses them to track down targets, train other characters, and combat villains. However, a fan theory suggests that the dogs might serve another purpose: as therapy animals for Kakashi.

At times, Naruto fans are reminded why the franchise is a masterpiece and considered one of the big three in the industry. Masashi Kishimoto not only created characters with heartbreaking backstories but also went to the extra length of creating lore that runs deep through the Shinobi world.
In fact, the plot runs so deep that fans come up with theories even years down the road. Just like a recent theory that suggests an Akatsuki knew about Shinigami and the Reaper Death Seal and even had his own version of it!
Which Akatsuki member knew about the Reaper Death Seal in Naruto?
According to a fan theory, Hidan, the Jashin worshipper Akatsuki member, knew about Shinigami and the Death Seal. While he may not have known about the sealing technique in particular, he did develop something very similar to it, and it is because of his Jashin worship.

This is because very few details about Hatake’s family have been revealed in the saga, with the only known person from his family being his deceased father. But who is his mother?

Orochimaru was one of the most evil shinobi in the Naruto verse. He was the most talented out of the three Legendary Sannin, and Hiruzen Sarutobi expected great things of him. But instead of walking down the right path, he chose to seek vengeance on the Leaf Village and tried to destroy the village on multiple occasions.
He experimented on several human beings and created a faction from the Sound Village shinobi to carry out his missions. Orochimaru was fond of forbidden jutsu and was always on the lookout to decode those jutsu using experimentation. But later on, he left his evil ways behind. Fans believe him to be the prime reason why Jiraiya was not reanimated during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

Naruto has conquered the hearts of millions of fans worldwide. When the anime industry was slowly growing, Naruto made a massive leap towards worldwide popularity. While two-thirds of the Big Three of anime were making a name within the boundaries of Japan, Masashi Kishimoto’s name was sailing over the entire world. Naruto Uzumaki’s journey from a village outcast to a hero is quite commendable.
But when fans watched the anime for the first time, they could not control themselves from getting angry after seeing the treatment he received from the villagers. Even though the evil spirit of the Nine-Tails Fox was stored inside him, he was the son of the Fourth Hokage. He never got the respect he deserved. The fans believe it was all due to the third Hokage’s fault for not fulfilling the promise he made to Kushina.

Kakashi Hatake is one of the most popular characters in the Naruto verse. He was the son of the White Fang of the Leaf, Sakumo Hatake; a student of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze; sensei of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, and his most famous identity was his Sharingan. With his Sharingan, he was able to copy any ninjutsu he saw.
Due to this, he came to be known as the Copy Ninja and could use more than a thousand jutsu. Even though he was known throughout the ninja world, no one knew who his mother was. Sakumo Hatake died pretty early, and Kakashi stayed all alone. One of the fan theories suggested that his mother belonged to the Kirigakure, and so he always hid his face as a homage to her.

Kakashi Hatake is one of the greatest shinobi in Konoha’s history and later went on to become the Sixth Hokage. Even though he was a generational talent and the son of the legendary White Fang of the Leaf, Sakumo Hatake, he had a rough childhood. He lost two of his dearest friends and was directly involved in their deaths.
Apart from being his friends, they were also his teammates. The trio was under the leadership of Minato Namikaze. After their deaths, Kakashi was disheartened and lost interest in doing things. It was at this point that Minato Namikaze was appointed as the Fourth Hokage. Seeing Kakashi’s state, he sent him to join the Anbu Black Ops. But if he had taken him under his wings, he would have grown up to be a finer shinobi.

Apart from being his friends, they were also his teammates. The trio was under the leadership of Minato Namikaze. After their deaths, Kakashi was disheartened and lost interest in doing things. It was at this point that Minato Namikaze was appointed as the Fourth Hokage. Seeing Kakashi’s state, he sent him to join the Anbu Black Ops. But if he had taken him under his wings, he would have grown up to be a finer shinobi.

Destin Daniel Cretton is leaving the world of superheroes and comic books behind for a land of ninjas and manga. The “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” director will write a live-action adaptation of “Naruto,” one of the most popular manga series of all time, IndieWire has confirmed.
Created by mangaka Masashi Kishimoto, “Naruto” is set in an unnamed world where ninjas act as the primary warriors and political forces. In the Hidden Leaf Village, main character Naruto Uzumaki is a loudmouthed, hyperactive, and boisterous orphan who dreams of becoming the greatest ninja, or the Hokage. His attempts to grow are complicated by the fact that he unknowingly serves as the host of the Nine-Tailed Fox, a dangerous beast that grants him enormous power but makes him a target for rival ninja clans.

It has been many years since Naruto ended, but fans are still not willing to move on from the past. Being an anime fan means creating many theories about your favorite characters, and one new theory has started to gain momentum among the Naruto community, which is based around Kakashi Hatake.
Kakashi Hatake
Kakashi, also known as the copy ninja, was one of the most prominent characters in the Naruto series; however, he faded away in the Boruto franchise. However, according to one popular theory, Kakashi Hatake could be getting his Sharingan back, making him reach the peak of his powers once again.

It's not unusual for the movies to come out of manga and anime series to feel a little off. The stories are often non-canon or otherwise abridged adaptations of ongoing story arcs, and the best thing you can hope for as a viewer is that a given movie captures some hint of what you enjoy about the series. While the movies may not hit the heights of the series, they can still deliver excellent character moments and action.
Whether or not the "Naruto" films deliver on that is up for debate. As the manga and anime series focused on the growth and development of its title character, a young ninja in a fantasy world on the path to glory, the movies give him and some of his coterie of allies non-canonical missions on which they can prove their mettle. For a series weighed down with a large number of "filler...

Out of all the classic monsters that pop up in costume shops around the Halloween season, there’s one that I believe has always been criminally underused in scary movies. Unlike witches, vampires and undead ghouls, the lowly Scarecrow is usually relegated to the background of mainstream horror media despite serving as an instantly recognizable (and genuinely eerie) harbinger of Autumn.
That’s not to say that we haven’t seen memorable examples of these ever-watching fiends in scary movies before – I just wish that there were more of them! And now that we’re fast approaching the spookiest night of the year, we’ve decided to come up with a list highlighting six of the scariest scarecrows in horror films in the hopes that future filmmakers will make use of this underrated monster.
As usual, we invite you to comment below with your own favorite scarecrows if you think...

In the vast world of anime and manga, characters play a pivotal role in shaping the narrative. While protagonists often take the spotlight, there are characters like Kakashi Hatake from “Naruto” who leave an indelible mark despite not being the central figure. Let’s delve into Kakashi’s personality, development, and significance, unravelling the layers of this enigmatic ninja.
Personality and Enigma:
Kakashi’s persona blends mystery, composure, and sometimes the trademark Naruto-style comedy, often concealed by his ever-present face-covering headband. His tranquil façade belies a mind forged in the fires of experience and hardship. Kakashi’s wry sense of humour and calm demeanour shroud the intricate layers of his character. But beneath that calm exterior lies a vivid tapestry of emotions, fears, and motivations waiting to be explored.

"Naruto" fans know a few things for a fact: Naruto Uzimaki always comes through for his teammates, Sakura Haruno will forever swoon for Sasuke Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake is a certified badass. The popular, long-running anime series typically focuses on the lives and antics of Team 7, but occasionally their sensei steals the show. But Kakashi is one of the series' most beloved characters, so a lot of viewers welcome his intrusion and the chance to learn more about the mysterious ninja.
In the beginning, not much is known about Kakashi except that he always keeps half of his face, and his left eye, covered, which adds to the mystery of the character. Throughout "Naruto," Kakashi's backstory is revealed, and we learn more about his past, as well as his Sharingan eye, but his face remains hidden. Reportedly, "Naruto" manga writer Kishimoto Masashi believed perma-masking Kakashi communicated his dedication and accomplishments within the ninja world,...

In the vast plethora of shonen anime that seem to spawn in perpetuity, the ones that stand out are those that manage to offer something different from the usual recipe. A number of titles that achieve this goal have been released during the latest years, so it is time to check if the latest sensation, which won the “Anime of the Year” at the 2021 5th Crunchyroll Anime Awards falls under this category or is just another shonen.
The protagonist of the story is Yuji Itadori, an unnaturally fit high school student living in Sendai with his dying grandfather, who spends his days at the hospital. Although many sport clubs are pursuing his talents, Itadori has chosen to deal solely with the Occult Research Club, which includes only two other members, both because he is enjoying the atmosphere but also because it allows him to leave school early to attend to his grandfather.
