Naruto Philosophy, Day 2

Today, we see the philosophies of Naruto Uzumaki, Rock Lee and Zabuza Momochi. Next week, Gaara of the Sand, Haku, and Kakashi Hatake

Naruto's philosophy is a mixture of many, but all of them are positive. Naruto never gives up, as otherwise, he wouldn't be as strong as he is in the manga. Also, he understands people's hatred better than others, as he is an orphan and had no parents to love him. He understood through his teacher, Iruka, that people still can be trusted and you can learn to love and accept people once someone accepts and loves you for you. Naruto is also very devoted to his friends, risking life and limb to save them. His work ethic is dangerously strong, as he nearly kills himself trying to increase his chakra. And lastly, Naruto believes that if you have something to protect, then you can become as strong as you truly are. This is similar to another character's philosophy that I'll get into next week...


Rock Lee's philosophy is two things. The first is that true power comes through hard work and dedication. This is shown when he looks down on Sasuke for having power through his heritage, while Lee got his power through "blood, sweat and tears" as he put it. And he, like Naruto, is willing to go to any lengths to protect the people he cares about, even though some may not want it, like Sakura... Lee is a very nice guy and has many parallels with Naruto, as you can see, even with his work ethic, nearly killing himself. Even with his strange looks, he's a pretty cool, guy, huh?

Lastly, is Zabuza Momochi. This missing nin seems to be a simply sadistic and evil man. But it is shown through Naruto's touching words that he does care about the sacrifice of his friend, Haku. When his friend dies protecting him, he seems uncaring, sticking to his original philosophy that ninjas are either used by others, use other ninjas, or both. But when Naruto reminded him of Haku's selflessness, Zabuza's icy heart melted and he hoped that he would be able to join Haku in the next world as he perished, fighting to the bitter end. This is a new philosophy he gains at his dying breath, and it is very admirable.

Okay then, enjoy. I think our next psychology ninja is Itachi Uchiha
