It still sounds incredible at times, but the ninja epic by Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto, ended now over 7 years ago. Of course, the franchise will continue in its sequel with Boruto, which will have the same Sensei in charge of the script, but some questions remain.
Kishimoto has changed his plans more than once over the course of the work, but he’s always had assignments that, for serialization reasons or of his own volition, have forced him to keep the characters’ fortunes in check. In fact, the main characters in the pages of Naruto hardly ever died even as the Fourth Great Ninja War raged on a large scale.
Of course there was no lack of that striking cases like that of Jiraya and NejiHowever, the author made several compromises in order not to kill his characters. For example afterwards the forced extraction of Shukaku from Gaara’s body, the Kazekage lost his life as a result of the shock. But through the ruse of old Chiyo sacrificing herself to revive Gaara, Naruto’s friend resumed her life. Therefore, in light of the story, it seems that this was not a need for Kishimoto, but rather a need for a sequel, since Shonen Jump magazine was always intended for an audience of children.
But why do you think the author kept Gaara alive? Tell us what you think about it with a comment below.
