Both the anime and the manga by Naruto they ended a few years ago. Nevertheless, certain scenes give you goosebumps as if you were experiencing them for the first time. One of the above is the death of Master Asuma Sarutobi. Do you remember what his last words were?
Recently, the Naruto manga series celebrated the 23rd anniversary of the release of the very first chapter. In these introductory pages, Masashi Kishimoto led his readers into an experience as absorbing as it is rich in teachings. One of the most important comes from the master Asuma Sarutobi. What does his concept of “protecting the king” mean in Naruto Shippuden??
During the Saga of Hidan and Kakuzu: the Immortal Destroyers, Asuma is sent along with Shikamaru, Kotetsu, and Izumo on a mission to intercept the two members of the Dawn Organization. The fight will prove deadly for him as it seems impossible to kill both Hidan and Kakuzu.
Before he perished at Hidan’s hand, Asuma gives us one of the most tragic scenes, exciting and legendary of the whole work. He greets his favorite student, Shikamaru Nara, and whispers the meaning of “protecting the king” in his ear. These words of Asuma were also narrated in Boruto: Naruto the Next Generations.
At Naruto the Be very determined It is a recurring concept that love is the true key to peace. This philosophy, handed down from the first Hokage Hashirama, is ingrained in every single shinobi of Konoha. For the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Will of Fire gives the Leaf’s Ninja the power to keep fighting against all obstacles for the good of the village itself.
For Asuma Sarutobi, the will of fire changes to the concept of “King’s Protection”. When he mentioned it to Shikamaru, he initially mistakenly believed that the king was the Hokage and that, like in the game of shogi, he should be defended at all costs. Only when Asuma dies does the leader of Team 10 understand the meaning of those words. That King Asuma speaks of the Children of Konohathose that must be defended in the interests of future generations.
