This page is my own personal thoughts and musings on the story and prospects of Naruto. Some of these ideas will be obvious, some perhaps not so obvious, maybe even a couple downright stupid. Nevertheless, feel free to post your own ideas or shoot mine down.
NOTE: Before I get into any of my own personal theories and general thoughts, please understand that I will not reveal any spoilers, nor tolerate spoilers. Comments that reveal more of the story than already has been revealed according to the Japanese Schedule will simply be ignored and deleted.
Naruto the FOURTH Hokage?
So we really have no idea where Naruto came from. We know that he has no family at all whatsoever. As far as we know, Naruto was a test tube baby made in a laboratory. Is that why he was chosen to carry the burden of the Kyuubi? Or is it something else?
It’s certainly unavoidable noticing the similarities between the Fourth Hokage and Naruto. However, we know from the battle of the Third Hokage and Orochimaru that the technique the Fourth used to capture the Kyuubi was something that took the life of the user, sealing the enemy inside the user. Or at least something like that.
So the theory is this: The fourth Hokage used this deadly technique to save the Village from the Kyuubi, sealing the Kyuubi inside himself. What normally would have been a fatal technique was lessened by the healing power of the Kyuubi. So instead of death, the fourth Hokage was reborn. Come on, at least it’s plausible.
Legendary Sanin to be replaced by Team Kakashi
The legendary Sanin, three Ninjas made famous for their quirky behavior as well as their incredible talent as ninjas. All together they make up Jiraya, Tsunade (the current Hokage), and Orochimaru. Team Kakshi has found themselves being more than just trained by these three ninjas. They have also taken up their personality traits. To be more specific, Naruto is turning into Jiraya with his wild personality as well as “perverted” habits. Sakura has learned not only Tsunade’s strength, but her temper as well. And we all know that Sasuke has followed the likes of Orochimaru, letting hatred take him over. These similarities should be unmistakable and clear by now. Even so, let it be said that Team Kakashi will most likely become three legendary ninjas.
Naruto Will Never Be Hokage
No really, I believe this and can back it up too. Remember how I said Naruto is turning into Jiraya? Well, perhaps you can also remember when the episode after the third Hokage died and the village was looking for a new leader. Their first choice was one of the legendary Sanin. It was, first and foremost, Jiraya, not Tsunade. Only after refusing did they settle with Tsunade. So here is the theory: Naruto will eventually be offered the title of Hokage. And he will refuse. Why? Because he will have grown up and learned that having the title is not everything. After all, Naruto wants the title so that he can have the recognition and acceptance. He won’t need the title anymore, I speculate, after the story is finished.
Sakura Loves Naruto
This should pretty obvious people. I shouldn’t even have to write it out. But, nevertheless, it’s too fun to ignore.
So why does she love him? Well, recall that Naruto’s particular ability is not being a great ninja, but rather getting people to like him, and create bonds with him. He’s motivated a lot of people to do a lot of things just by his own conviction and energy. How can Sakura ignore this? In fact, she doesn’t. Remember how Naruto went “four-tails” a few episodes back? Well, when Sakura was healing Naruto, Yamato was saying something about how she was looking at him. It was pretty clear that he was going to say that she had feelings for him. At least I thought so.
Pretty good theories!
Except the first one! Naruto is actually Yondaime’s son (also known as the FOURTH Hokage) he just does not know it. Jiraya is his godfather and was Yondaime’s sensei.
Dang it… It was my favorite one too. I suppose that this is revealed in the manga? I don’t read the manga, preferring to watch the story than read.
Very interesting theories and very insightful too. They only made me imagine more. Things like will Sasuke become the new bad guy. Or if Sakura now has feelings for Naruto, what about Hinata? How about Naruto being a playboy since he assumed the personality of his teacher. Anyway, I’m really excited how the stories will turn up.
Well these are interesting theories and all and I really like the idea about Naruto not being Hokage. 1) he is way too immature 2) while he is strong, he has no finesse and in my opinion isnt educated in politics or espionage to be able to ever take up the position. Because face it look at all the politics going on in Naruto, he says that he want to live a path “with no regrets” but ninja’s are people who kill to obtain peace and advance themselves. And 3) the one thing that he wants is recognition but will he be able to take care of the entire village? He can’t even clean his room or remember to throw out spoiled milk. (sweatdrop) But the series evolves around Naruto and his dream of “Hokage” so it probably will end with him being Hokage. Then again I’ll never know because in the manga it turns out that Itachi was actually sorta innocent and a pacifist by nature. I didnt see that one coming. And I’m thinking that Naruto and Sakura will get together because Hinata is probably going to have to marry inside the clan. (ewww….) And you’re right about the whole pattern “Sannin” thing, cuz in the manga its pretty evident that Tsunade began to like Jiraiya but never admitted it. The difference between them and Sakura and Naruto is that S&N act on thier emotions, because Sasuke isnt there they support each other even more. So there.
