After being told countless times to watch the anime Naruto, and constantly denying it, after finally watching a bit of it myself, I realize my mistake in not watching it before.
I now admire Naruto Uzumaki, who is the main character of the anime “Naruto”. The show covers the journey of an eleven year old boy, Naruto, who is an underdog that desires to become the strongest of his village. He has several characteristics that make him a worthy role model for people chasing a dream unimaginable by most people. Naruto’s undying perseverance inspires many others that their dream is achievable, both inside and outside the show. His extraordinary determination allows him to always persist, even in hopeless situations. This had led him to be able to do the “impossible”, and pull through many times. Another important quality he has is being able to chase his dream, no matter how foolish others believe it to be. He followed his goal until the very end and proved everyone that he could become the best. Everyone has dreams, but most people drop the journey due to others telling them that it is not possible or that it is too childish.
In the anime, you can watch his character development from beginning to end. At first, he is a loud-mouthed, boisterous boy who causes trouble and is hated by almost everyone in the town. However, later on, you get to see his change of heart and who he truly is, deeper than the first impression. Mental growth seems to be a strong theme in the show, and this is proved through the many instances where Naruto truly outdoes himself, and surprises many people, including himself. Even if he is a bit ignorant at times, he tries his hardest to learn what he is not good at or does not know. He is also very humble and down to earth. He never brags about his strength or power, and his story is truly of one of rags to riches. Nobody respected him and everyone ridiculed him, but in the end, people began to look up to him and admire him.
Naruto also has energy and a never dying spirit. He is always optimistic and never tells himself that he cannot accomplish a task. If he has an opportunity, he will seize it and do whatever he can to carry it out. Although his attitude is not perfect, it allows him to attain many new skills and he also is willing to change his attitude to make himself a better person. I also admired his teacher. He never told Naruto that he could not execute a task or goal and was the perfect teacher to him. He played a huge role in Naruto’s success, and he always supported him throughout his journey.
