Naruto and Naruto Shippuden are not just globally celebrated anime series—they’re layered stories packed with emotion, philosophy, political intrigue, and jaw-dropping action. From the mystery behind clan massacres to the logic-defying jutsus, here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the most commonly asked questions and doubts from both series.
📌 1. Why Did Itachi Uchiha Kill His Clan?
Short Answer: To prevent a civil war and protect Konoha.
Detailed Answer: The Uchiha clan was planning a coup against the Leaf Village, due to years of being marginalized after the Nine-Tails attack. Itachi, a prodigy and secret ANBU agent, was caught between loyalty to his clan and the village. After negotiations failed, Danzo and the higher-ups pressured him to eliminate the threat. Itachi made the painful choice to slaughter his clan (except Sasuke) to avoid large-scale bloodshed. He hoped Sasuke would grow strong and eventually defeat him—atoning for both their sins.
This moral dilemma makes Itachi one of anime's most tragic anti-heroes.
📌 2. How Did Obito Survive the Boulder Incident?
Short Answer: He was saved by Madara Uchiha.
Detailed Answer: Obito was crushed during a mission, giving his Sharingan to Kakashi. However, half his body was still alive. Madara Uchiha, who was near death but kept alive by Gedo Statue life support, rescued Obito and replaced his crushed parts with White Zetsu’s cells. Madara manipulated Obito by showing him Rin's death, slowly turning him into his successor. This was the beginning of Obito’s transformation into the masked “Tobi.”
📌 3. Why Did Naruto Forgive Sasuke So Easily?
Short Answer: Because he understood his pain and loneliness.
Detailed Answer: Naruto and Sasuke were both orphans, but while Naruto sought acknowledgment through bonds, Sasuke severed bonds to seek revenge. Naruto saw Sasuke not as an enemy, but as a brother. He believed that if he gave up on Sasuke, he'd be no better than those who gave up on him. Their bond was built on years of rivalry, understanding, and empathy. Naruto’s forgiveness was not weakness—it was the ultimate strength of compassion.
📌 4. What Is the Difference Between Sage Mode and Six Paths Sage Mode?
| Feature | Sage Mode | Six Paths Sage Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Source of Power | Natural Energy | Hagoromo ÅŒtsutsuki (Six Paths) |
| Physical Boost | Yes | Yes (even more extreme) |
| Chakra Nature | Based on user's chakra | Includes Truth-Seeking Orbs, levitation, etc |
| Eye Appearance | Orange pigmentation | No pigmentation, cross-like pupils |
Six Paths Sage Mode is a divine upgrade that combines the power of all tailed beasts with the Six Paths power. It’s on a completely higher level than standard Sage Mode.
📌 5. Why Did Kakashi Lose His Sharingan?
Short Answer: Because Obito’s chakra was gone after he passed away.
Detailed Answer: Kakashi’s Sharingan was Obito’s eye. When Obito dies during the final war, the chakra sustaining the Sharingan vanishes. This reverts Kakashi to a normal ninja, though he briefly gains double Mangekyou Sharingan during the fight with Kaguya (through Obito’s spirit). After the war, Kakashi loses the Sharingan permanently but becomes a highly skilled Hokage even without it.
📌 6. How Did Madara Come Back to Life Multiple Times?
Detailed Answer:
- First Revival: Reanimated (Edo Tensei) by Kabuto.
- Second Time: Uses Rinne Tensei (a jutsu that revives the dead) via Black Zetsu using Obito's body.
- Final Time: After being revived, he becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, achieving god-like power.
Madara manipulated almost every event behind the scenes, including Nagato’s actions, Obito’s identity, and the Akatsuki’s missions—all so he could eventually return as the ultimate villain.
📌 7. What’s the Origin of the Sharingan, Rinnegan, and Byakugan?
Answer: All three are Dojutsu (eye techniques) originating from Kaguya ÅŒtsutsuki:
- Byakugan: Original eye technique from Kaguya.
- Sharingan: Derived from the Byakugan, evolved through trauma and emotion.
- Rinnegan: Awakens when a person has both Indra and Asura’s chakra (descendants of Kaguya’s sons).
The Rinnegan is considered the most powerful, allowing abilities like planetary devastation, soul extraction, and summoning Gedo Statue.
📌 8. Why Did Pain Attack Konoha?
Short Answer: To create peace through shared pain.
Detailed Answer: Nagato, aka Pain, believed that true peace could only come when the world experienced pain and loss. By destroying Konoha, he wanted the world to fear war and pain, preventing future conflict. It was a twisted philosophy born from trauma. Naruto challenged this ideology by showing empathy and belief in a different path—breaking the cycle of hatred.
📌 9. What Is the Truth About Tailed Beasts?
Answer: The Tailed Beasts (Bijuu) are chakra entities originally one being called Ten-Tails (JÅ«bi). The Sage of Six Paths split the Ten-Tails into nine beasts to maintain balance. While initially feared and used as weapons, they are actually sentient creatures who long for peace. Naruto befriends all of them, earning their trust and gaining immense power as their link.
📌 10. Who Is the Strongest Character in the Series?
| Character | Strength Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Naruto Uzumaki | God-tier | Sage of Six Paths + Kurama |
| Sasuke Uchiha | God-tier | Rinnegan + Eternal Mangekyo |
| Kaguya ÅŒtsutsuki | Ultimate Boss | Alien origin, time-space powers |
| Madara Uchiha | God-tier | Ten-Tails Jinchuriki |
| Might Guy | Top-tier | 8th Gate unlocked, almost killed Madara |
In raw power, Kaguya is the strongest. But in heart and strategy, Naruto surpasses her by uniting people.
📌 11. Why Did Neji Die?
Answer: Neji died saving Naruto and Hinata from the Ten-Tails’ attack. His death symbolized the breaking of the Hyuga clan's "destiny curse." It gave Naruto the emotional push to continue and paved the way for Naruto and Hinata’s future relationship.
📌 12. What Happens After Naruto Shippuden?
Answer: Naruto becomes the 7th Hokage. Sasuke redeems himself by traveling the world. The village enters a time of peace and modernization. Boruto: Naruto Next Generations continues the story with their children, introducing new threats like the ÅŒtsutsuki clan.
