Naruto - Kishimoto needs to explain more




You know some of the techniques in Naruto are very far fetched. Now I'm not saying what some of these techniques do is far fetched but I'm talking about their risks. Some of these techniques literally take away your life or your power on the very first use so it got me thinking this: How do these people learn these techniques? So far in the manga we have seen that if you want to learn a brand new technique you have to train and practice until you get it perfect however with some of these moves it is impossible to do so because if you do you either die or lose the ability to ever do it again. Let me list some of these techniques:

The 8th gate: So far we have seen gates from 1 to 7 but never the 8th. Why? Because it would kill you after you use it. Now knowing Lee's and Guy's personalities they tend to train over and over until they get it right but how does this move work? How do they know they can reach the 8th gate if they can never test it out without losing their lives? Is their a way around that or does this move require you to just keep powering up until you get it? To be honest this is the least far fetched one in the Naruto series.

Izanami and Izanagi: Izanami is maybe the most far fetched Jutsu in all of anime history since this move literally came out of thin air. Izanagi we cannot call far fetched because it was used at the very first time we have ever witnessed him fight but they both have the same risk: They both take away one of your eyes on the first use. Now even if this move wasn't as far fetched how on Earth did Itachi learn this move? Throughout the manga we can see that Itachi could still use both of his eyes during the time he was still alive. Yes, he didn't have perfect vision but he wasn't completely blind in either eye. We all know Itachi is the ‘’most perfect ninja’’ in the whole manga but judging from the flashbacks of him practicing his kunai technique even he isn't an exception to the rule practice makes perfect.

Madara's meteor technique: Now this move I have the most problem with because of how out of place it is in a "ninja manga". Now this move has 2 problems. One problem is. How can he summon a meteor of that size let alone 2 of them? Meteors of that size are big enough to cause a global catastrophe of epic proportions. If Oonoki wasn't their then this war would have long been over with no winner. The second risk is that it kills him as well as his opponents. If Madara wasn't an Edo Tensei he would have been dead along with the enemy which brings me to my next question: How did he learn how to do this and survive? This technique has no name yet so I believe it could be an enhanced version of Shinra Tensei but I'm not 100% and even so the chances of him getting a meteor of that size, so quickly, being that close to the earth and getting 2 of them of the same size are very low.

Another example would be Granny Chiyo's Jutsu ‘‘ones own life reincarnation’’ in which she can bring somebody back to life. Now this Jutsu is out of this world if you ask me. The user can bring another person back to life however the downside is that the user loses their life. Chiyo may have learnt how to do this technique from training as Chiyo had to use her chakra in a weird way for a long time for the Jutsu to be a success

And I leave the best for lasts. The Uzumaki clan's secret sealing Jutsu ''Dead Demon Consuming Seal'' This will seal your opponents and your own soul into the reapers stomach. There is no way Minato or Hiruzen could have practiced this as their souls would have been taken away from them. However when I think about this I don't think this is as far fetched as he others because all you need to know are the seals to be able to summon the reaper to take your opponents soul.


So those are some examples I can list off the top of my head without going through the whole manga again. So is it possible that you don't actually need to train for some of these techniques? I know the rule of working hard is the only way to get strong has been kind of thrown out the window and I know this is a manga but this is a little much. If would be nice if Kishimoto actually explained some of these Jutsu properly. So this something for you all to think about and if you have any thought about this post then please do express them. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank You
