Transcripts

did you know that boruto's Dad has his

own anime yeah as a matter of fact

boruto's dad is named Naruto and his

real name is not just boruto's dad I

mean damn who would have thought that

boruto's Dad has his own animeone to

watch it if you haven't I think it's

pretty good or did you know that Naruto

used to be way different in the early

drafts of the show how about the hidden

reference at his chakra color and what

this actually represents or how about

Naruto's hidden disease that almost

killed him or can kill him in the future

these are 25 facts about Naruto uzamaki

that no matter how big of a fan of his

you are you probably never knew about

okay let's start with something kind of

funny we all know about the 1,000 years

of death technique that Kakashi passed

on to Naruto through a well let's say

not the best way to teach young students

I suppose but have you ever realized how

many times Naruto used this technique

himself he used it on three separate

occasions two of them being successful

his first use of this lethal technique

was against aisu with the latter was

passed out the second time Naruto used

this technique was against the partially

manifested shukaku in Naruto's fight

against gar I mean imagine fighting a

tailed beast and trying this move

against it and finally the third and

unsuccessful attempt was made against

Kakashi in Naruto shapin as Kakashi

stated yeah that was indeed pretty

dangerous now this was just the

beginning and each fact gets even more

interesting as we move on like the video

subscribe to the channel and let's keep

going all right we did mention Naruto's

fight against shukaku and gar that was

indeed an incredibly difficult Mission

especially considering the fact that

Naruto was just a genning at this point

however as a matter of fact this mission

was not actually an official one you see

official missions are assigned to

shinobis through a very formal way only

after after being approved by the Hokage

as a result many times Naruto

participated in missions that would

otherwise be classified as a rank and

even sometimes S rank and Beyond without

actually getting recognized for it

although he completed many missions the

official ones are very few he completed

seven d rank missions one C- rank

mission two B rank missions and six A-

rank missions Naruto did not complete

any s-rank missions bringing his total

total of missions completed to just 16

oh yeah I suppose saving the entire

world from a maniac alien that intends

to turn the entire planet into a white

paste does make up for it a bit right I

mean Naruto did save the world as

ginning so I'm pretty sure this makes

him the most powerful ginning in the

history of not just koha but the entire

Shinobi world having said that what if I

told you that Naruto actually lost

against Konohamaru in a 1 V1 battle you

see there is an OVA episode that takes

place before the final war Ark in which

Naruto participates in the tuning exam

among the contenders there is Konohamaru

as well after some trials Konohamaru and

Naruto are put against each other in a 1

V one and as it turns out Konohamaru won

this battle technically at least he see

the people in charge of the competition

set as rule for the shinobis to not use

Sage Mode a rule that would basically

ensure Naruto does not accidentally kill

someone as this one mean Goen completely

overboard against ninjas that are

clearly weaker than him Naruto being you

know Naruto was not even paying

attention when the rules were being

announced so during his fight with

Konohamaru he actually destroys him but

as Konohamaru kept coming back he

finally managed to land a lucky punch on

Naruto what did Naruto decide to do use

sage mode to wrap things up but as the

rules stated that he could not use Sage

Mode Naruto was disqualified and thus

Konohamaru technically won against the

strongest gen in history but even like

that with Naruto being the strongest

Shinobi in history as you know he wasn't

really all that good of a student in

reality his Academy grade for

cooperation and classroom attitude was F

his Academy grade for positivity was a

his grade for tautu was B and his grade

for Ninjutsu as well as genjutsu was F

definitely not grade you would expect

from a future hok but here I would like

to speak about a potential plot hole

hear me out Naruto was stated to have

failed his Academy graduation exams a

few times and what's the issue with that

think about it if he failed his exams a

few times that would mean he should be

older than the other kids in his class

when we are shown the events on episode

one rather all of Naruto Sasuke and

Sakura are stated to be between 12 and

13 years old at the time so what really

happened did Naruto enroll in the

academy earlier than the other kids so

that even after failing so many times he

was still their age when they joined I

mean if that's the case then I don't

think the term fail applies that much in

the case of Naruto since he was indeed

trying advanced classes Beyond his age

group oh well which of the two do you

think is true let us know in the

comments down below okay since we

started with OG Naruto facts let's speak

about this next one as you know in the

OG Naruto series The konoha Villagers

wanted to kill Naruto or in the very

least kick him out of konoha and because

of that they were organizing rallies and

marches against Naruto with the fact you

probably never knew is that in the manga

even choji's father was among the people

that wanted Naruto dead damn talk about

a dark turn right there but something

even darker was what Kishimoto

originally intended to do with Naruto

you see in the early Naruto drafts

Naruto was originally a demon Fox the

nine Tales that attacked the village was

actually Naruto's father because of this

there was no Mino or cusina in Naruto

yeah I think it's safe to say that

whoever suggested this change to

Kishimoto is surely the real MVP here

but speaking of the early Inspirations

and thought process of Kishimoto did you

know how ichiraku ramen came to be hear

this Naruto's favorite Ramen Shop

actually exists in reality it's a small

restaurant Kishimoto used to attend

while on his way to University for

anyone ready to say that they want to

visit the real life ramen restaurant

well I'm sorry to break it to you but

it's ly unknown if the restaurant still

exists but the chances are that

unfortunately this small local store is

not currently operating and yet that was

not the only thing that Kishimoto

adapted from his life into Naruto

because as it turns out Naruto is after

all based Loosely on kishimoto's

childhood self Kishimoto even stated the

following when Naruto was born it was

more like he somehow came out rather

than me creating him from some

inspiration the only image I had in mind

was a character who was a naughty boy I

was a poor student but unlike Naruto I

was the type of poor student who gave up

easily and pondered things that weren't

worth pondering I wanted Naruto to be

different he was created based on my

self-image of my own childhood but

different from how I really was but the

next Point Kishimoto stated about Naruto

is equally not more interesting than the

previous in an issue of Shonen Jump

Kishimoto revealed a bit of his writing

process for Naruto he intended for

Naruto to remain isolated due to never

knowing his parents but once he himself

became a father his views changed

kishimoto's relationship with his own

children made him want Naruto to have a

relationship with his parents as well he

decided to find ways to introduce Naruto

to Mito in Kushina and in some cases

that involved time travel other story

lines used remnants of their chakra to

allow Naruto's parents to speak with him

up next a kind of scary fact many fans

will not want to hear in the Sasuke

retsuden novel it is stated that Naruto

was suffering from an illness called

chakra virus or chakra illness its core

reason was that Naruto had the chakra of

all tailed beast sealed within him for a

long time due to which his chakra

pipeline was totally Disturbed causing

this sickness to happen haaro also

experienced the same illness though he

was able to find a cure for its

particles from a certain meteor it

stated that the only way you can get

these particles is by splitting the

meteor with chakra so Sasuke Sakura and

Kakashi started traveling to find Clues

on the illness later in the novel Sasuke

and Sakura are able to capture the

remaining particles and give them to

Naruto so for now let's just hope this

disease does not return again okay now

let's speak a little bit about his name

first of all did you know that Naruto

was actually the reason aota changed the

name of one of his characters yeah as it

turns out Sanji was originally named

Naruto but since Kishimoto already

published his Creation in the same

magazine as one piece with a protagonist

named like that Oda decided to go for

Sanji instead but what does Naruto's

name really mean or better put where

does it originate from you see Naruto's

name is based on the food Naruto Maki

which is a topping for ramen that has a

pink or red spiral design in the middle

Naruto Maki spiral-shaped patterns are

supposed to represent the Naruto World

Pools found in the street but speaking

of ramen we all know Naruto's insane

appetite and love for this food what if

I told you that Naruto does not hold the

record for the most Ramen bols eaten in

a single goat no for anyone thinking the

character that must hold this record is

Choi well not quite while Naruto's

record number for ramen Bulls eaten is

30 hinatas is a whopping 46 damn this

girl can surely eat yeah Naruto and

Hinata did end up together but many

people including kishimoto's wife did

not believe this was what was going to

happen kishimoto's wife believed Naruto

would end up with Sakura Naruto had a

crush on Sakura during the early years

of the series while Sakura had feelings

for Sasuke and Hinata had a crush on

Naruto it was even stated that

kishimoto's wife was disappointed with

his turn of events up next let's speak

about Naruto's birthday did you know

that his birthday day the 10th of

October is a Japanese holiday in Japan

the 10th of October is Sports and Health

day not sure if this was random or not

to be honest but it is what it is which

of you watching this video share the

same birthday with Naruto moving on

let's talk about Naruto's orange themed

chakra color did you ever realize Why

this color was given to him yeah I know

it was because of kurarama but in

reality Kishimoto made this intentional

color selection because this was always

meant to reference the combination of

his parents AKA Kusha with the red hair

and Mito with the yellow hair even more

than that once Naruto became Hokage was

actually called the Orange hok okay

something Epic on the other hand when it

comes to Naruto is the following

worldwide record he holds you might have

Dragon Ball one piece bleach or whatever

anime you want as your all-time favorite

show However the fact remains that

Naruto was actually voted the most

famous anime character in the entire

world surprising not so much in my

opinion because even though Some people

prefer other series like one piece or

Dragon Ball even the fans of those

series watch Naruto while there are many

Naruto fans that just refuse to watch

One Piece so yeah this kind of makes

sense for Naruto to be the most popular

anime character as pretty much every

anime fan has at least tried watching

Naruto once in their life something a

bit secret on the other hand is this did

you realize that after a point onwards

Naruto stopped wearing the goggles he

used to wear at the start of the show

yeah these goggles right here didn't

last long once Naruto achieved gaining

status he swapped his goggles for a koha

headband the reason might seem obvious

since Naruto wanted to show off his new

status but there was also a practical

reason Kishimoto found drawing the

goggles to timec consuming and

eliminating them saved him time while

drawing his manga Pages the goggles

design was later adapted by K hamaru

instead next let's talk about Naruto's

voice actor did you know that his

Japanese voice actor also played young

Sabo in one piece not only that but

junko takauchi AKA Naruto's Japanese

voice actor also voiced gone freaks in

the first Hunter Hunter adaptation next

let's just mention a small change

between the anime and the manga you see

Naruto's sexy transformation Jutsu is as

you understand meant to be sexy but the

two versions actually display

differences in the way they show it

transformation as a matter of fact the

Manga version is way less censored than

the anime as in the anime much more

smoke is present in order to censor the

scene for the 20th fact let's just

mention how Naruto evolved through the

series he went from weighing 40 kilos or

88 lbs in part 1 to weighing 50 kilos or

112 lb in part two while in boroto we

don't really have a confirmed weight for

him as far as height goes Naruto went

from being 1.46 M or 4' 9 in tall in

part 1 to being 1.66 M tall or 5'5 in

part to and finally 1.8 m or 5' 11 in

tall than boruto for the next part I

would like to speak about a

misconception many fans believe that

Naruto never actually killed a person

well this couldn't be further from the

truth Naruto actually killed well over

1,000 white zetus during the war well if

someone does not consider those to be

people still Naruto did kill someone

else you see Naruto killed one 100% real

human a Sand Village Jon named Ura Ura

was used by pain as a sacrifice for the

shape-shifting technique becoming a

replacement of Itachi uch and soon met

combat with giio and team Kakashi Naruto

not knowing that who he's fighting is

just a cheap replica of Itachi he

ultimately uses a pretty big and

powerful renon that actually proves

lethal on Europe but talking about

Rasengan we did see Naruto creating and

using a bunch of incredibly overpowered

variations of this technique he used

among others normal renon Russ and

shuriken and even a bunch more renon

variations infused with the chakra of

various tailed beasts but even like that

and with Naruto basically being the

first person people think when imagining

Rasengan we still do not know if Naruto

can use two variations that his son can

use these being Vanishing Rasengan and

Rasengan uzoho when it comes to the

second one Naruto probably cannot use it

but when it comes to the first one we

never saw him use it but did Naruto

attempt to do it and fail did he attempt

to do it and succeed did he never

attempt it at all well as of now we

still don't have a proper answer to this

question speaking of boruto a scene that

was very misunderstood when it first

aired was the following on this scene

Naruto was not considering killing

boruto like some people think instead he

was actually having a panic attack

because of the thought that there was a

possibility of him having to kill his

own son in the future if he turns out to

not be able to hold noo Shiki without

losing control of his body yeah it is

true that Naruto is no longer the

protagonist with boruto but well all I

will say is that fans definitely still

love him he was featured 11 times in the

boruto manga covers and whenever that

happened all I'll say is that fans were

more than happy with that I suppose

whenever the sales were low The

Producers knew what they could do to fix

it just bring my boy Naruto to the cover

and the money will start rolling back in

check out this video next where I am

creating the strongest character that

ever lived in the world of Naruto go on

give it a go
