A very Otaku post - Naruto

Anime, is Japanese cartoon. It has a different style and different architecture from normal cartoons. I really love watching different anime series and movies, not to mention drawing anime and writing stories.

One of the series I like to watch is Naruto, a series that talks about shinobi (Ninjas) living in the hidden village of Konoha in the country of fire. The main character is Naruto Uzumaki, a young shinobi who has a nine tailed monster fox sealed in him (The kyuubi - Kurama).
Naruto had a very hard and lonely childhood in Konoha, where all the adults there saw him as a monster and a threat to their lives, he was rejected and treated badly from those who don't know him. He was also a naughty unreliable child and caused lots of troubles, along with being lazy at the shinobi academy.

Naruto was willing to be acknowledged by everyone, and to become a hokage (the villages head and leader) one day, although he wasn't respected or accepted in the village. The one who acknowledged him first was his teacher, Iruka Umino. He believed in him despite the fact that Iruka-sensie's parents were killed by the Kyuubi sealed in Naruto. Iruka-sensie and Naruto had a father-son relationship, and this relationship is what pushed Naruto to work hard to be acknowledged by everyone and to fulfill his dream of being a hokage.

What I really liked about Naruto's character was the fact that he never gave up his dreams although he was rejected and hated by everyone. And what is really more beautiful is the fact that he was able to get stronger and turned into one of the village's heroes and was acknowledged by all of his sensies and senpais and nakamas. Also he finally had real bonds with his friends and changed the lives of so many people he encountered, even some enemies changed hearts because of him.

It's one of the remarkable anime series, ignoring all of the faults in it like the extreme number of flashbacks and some really boring fillers among the episodes, and some problems with the drawings and the animation.

26 days left

Clocks are ticking, more pages are being removed from my calendar... The future is getting nearer everyday.

Lots of days have passed in my short life as a mortal on earth; happy days, sad days, good days, unfortunate ones... Lots of memories that are fading in my memory and others that can never be forgotten. People come and go, some stay for a long time, others just pass by, some are forgotten, others are deeply preserved in my mind, others are in my heart, and they always leave a mark, either a positive or a negative one. I change along the path, and it's impossible for me to remain the same person all along. The only one who never changes is God, He's my only company that never leaves or changes at any stage.

I looked at the calender, counted the days before that day... A day that will be sad, and will never be erased from my heart, with people who stayed for long and left a deep mark in me, a positive one... But what's the difference? This ain't the first time I ever have a day like that, and leave a place where I shared memories with people I love, also I lost many loved ones already; so why am I that sad this time??

Sadness really made me not welling to work, afraid of the future, afraid of losing them again.. I have to overcome this feeling and do my best, but it's not as simple to be done as to be said. Being down and having negative feelings are annoying and stop one's progress and will to live... "Future is gonna be tough" is the only thought I have in my mind now.

Tough, not only for leaving this stage and leaving colleagues and friends I love, but also for many things; my career choice, my family, my parents, my marriage, my education, my dreams... Lots of troubles seem far away, yet, very close.. As if you know you are falling into a trap, but there is no way you can avoid it. Even if I believed that life is a game, I sometimes take games seriously...
