It’s preposterous to write an article on a famous show that had already established its enormous fan-club which will never disappear from society. Another reason to ‘NOT’ write an article on this show is due to the worldwide popularity of the prime protagonist named NARUTO UZUMAKI.

I know most of my relevant readers and peers might be wondering the same that ‘why am I writing an article on a show like Naruto which was once quite popular among the young generation? It’s nonsensical to write a blog on a series that has been watched by most of the population during their childhood days.

Anyway, I started to watch Naruto on Netflix and decided to write a blog for a specific percentage of people who are nescient to this universal show. Many didn’t even know about Naruto (even I used to belong to the same category). So fasten your seatbelts coz the Blog will be a bit long and detailed.

In this article, I will sum up three different seasons briefly so that you guys will get an unmitigated idea about the substance of the show.

NARUTO (SEASON 1): AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CHARACTER OF NARUTO

It’s that point when you dive into the fictional world of Ninjas meticulously. You will have a brief idea about the fictional ‘NINJA’ education system but most notably you will plunge deep into the character of Naruto Uzumaki. His inner predicaments and aspirations will give you a brief idea about his dispositions and nature of thoughts.

Apart from Naruto, you will be introduced to three different yet important personas (Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi). Though the makers didn’t reveal much about their character in the first season. As per the information, I gathered a lot will be revealed about these characters in further seasons.

Despite showcasing a substantial amount of details about the characters and the Ninja society, the first season did manage to have a pair of antagonists named Zabuza and Haku who would face off against Naruto and his comrades.

My honest opinion: The thing I liked about the first season of Naruto was it successfully managed to enumerate a lot about the prime protagonist within the range of 22 episodes without any trace of confusion and bewilderment. This meticulous representation can help a lot to understand the character of Naruto Uzumaki.

NARUTO (SEASON 2): IT WAS LIKE A TALENT SHOW FOR NINJAS

Season 2 was all about displaying the hidden proficiency of various Ninjas who belong to the academy of the leaf village. Popularly known as the ‘Chunin exam arc’ Naruto season 2 was like a talent show for the viewers. This season unravelled the hidden abilities of the young Ninjas who were studying in the Ninja academy of ‘leaf village’. The exams were organized for the sole motive of judging the capabilities of young Ninjas.

One of the impressive aspects of this arc was the competency of Naruto as a ninja. Though the first season didn’t reveal much about his powers the second season showcased the heroic and relentless efforts he put forth to achieve his destiny.

Amidst this exam, a formidable foe emerges, and his name is Orochimaru who treacherously devise a plan to annihilate the hidden leaf village (it will be cleared to you in season 3)

Honest opinion: This season is better for a single reason:

1)     The series divert its attention from Naruto and displayed the hidden abilities of other Ninjas. This specific facet made the show more enjoyable and gripping to watch.

NARUTO (SEASON 3): THE DANGER EMERGES WITH FULL POTENTIAL

Season 3 is where the real ‘peril’ emerges from the shadows as Orochimaru (ex-shinobi of leaf village) returns to annihilate the glorious Leaf village and the Third Hokage (Sarutobi). He perfidiously infiltrated the leaf village along with the mercenaries of the sand village.

The season concluded the ‘Chunin exam arc’ in the most vicious way. A full-scale war made the season amusing and interesting to watch, though the makers unnecessarily lengthen certain sequences still it didn’t make the show lost its relevant charm.

Other than that a considerable amount of details were showed about Orochimaru and the reasons behind his tyrannical intentions.

CONCLUSION:

The reason behind the popularity of Naruto is his temperament to work relentlessly for achieving the ultimate goal of life. I always get inspired by his idea of ‘Not giving up so easily’ and keep on working until and unless you accomplish your objective.

The second part of this blog will be uploaded soon which will cover up the information from (season 4-6)
