Finally found him! I have been meaning to post this pic here for a little while now but I misplaced him within my folder's files. For some reason I found Naruto in my Pirate Folder? You're not a Pirate Naruto...were you trying to do a crossover with One Piece?
Naruto was one of the first serious anime I was introduced to and it holds a special place for me as one of my all time favorite Animes. I will be the first to it has plenty of flaws and the filler is awful but it makes up for it plenty by having some incredibly powerful emotional moments.
Maybe I will do more of these later but I had to start with Sage Mode Naruto from The Pain Arc, widely considered one of the best arcs in the series which thematically captures what the entire series is about.
Here's the summary: (Spoilers ahead)
Naruto is the holder (or Jinchuriki) of the Nine tailed Fox; basically a living magical weapon of mass destruction on par with a Nuke. The Demon Nine tailed Fox was sealed in his body as a baby and as a result he has been ostracized by his village. Desperate to not to be so alone anymore, he aims to become The Hokage, the strongest Ninja in the village, that way everyone will have to acknowledge him. Meanwhile a terrorist organization called the Akatsuki are trying to capture all of the Jinchuriki of each village and suck the power of the Tailed Beasts out of their bodies to power some secret Super Weapon...
Naruto was trained by a one of the Sages of the Hidden Leaf Village, an old man named Jiraiya the Toad Sage. In their training sessions Jiraiya laments that there is too much hate in this shinobi world. He has tried to find an answer to stop all this hate and war but hasn't come up with a solution yet. He then entrusts his dream onto Naruto, telling him that if he can't find an answer in his time then it's up to Naruto to carry the torch next to seek out that solution for lasting peace.
Then Jiraiya is called away on a mission to infiltrate the base of the Akasuki's leader, a mysterious man hailed as a living god called "Lord Pain". Turns out Pain was a former student of Jiraiya who he had thought died in combat, one who he once believed would be the chosen one who would save the world. Instead his goal had changed, he believes that Humans are simply incapable of understanding one another so he will use a super weapon to inflict a such fear and pain in the world that everybody will learn to understand suffering! Being mortally wounded in their confrontation, with the last of his strength Jiraiya sends back a final message to warn the Leaf Village of the incoming attack.
For Naruto's protection, he is sent away to train at the Mountain of the Toads where Jiraiya learned his own Sage Powers and become a Sage himself in order to have a shot at defeating Pain. It also gives him an alternative and safer source of power to rely on rather than the Fox who's power has been gradually wearing away at the seal keeping him contained inside Naruto. Naruto already starting to lose control from his over reliance on Fox-Power any time he got himself into a bind. If The Nine Tails gets out Naruto will die so. There is a drawback to Sage Mode however; Sage Mode is only a temporary buff, it's not indefinite and Naruto has to be able to sit completley still in order to gather Nature Energy into his body, he can't sit still in the middle of a fight, and one of the Toads can't sit on his shoulder and transfer the Sage Energy to him because the Fox doesn't play nice with other creature, so Naruto comes up with a clever idea where he has multiple shadow clones meditating for him while he's fighting, once he runs out he can just dispel the clone and gains all of the Nature energy that the Clone built up, although rather than the Thousands of Clones Naruto can usually make, he can only maintain 3 gathering Nature Energy at a time cause it takes a lot of concentration.
While Naruto was away, Pain showed up to attack the Leaf Village leveling it to the ground with a single attack! Then Naruto gets summoned...With Toads, on a Toad, on a Bigger Toad, with more Giant Toads! The Fight is on! Watch the Naruto vs Pain fight. It is Brilliant!
