Not only on a cultural level, but also emotionally\u201d<\/strong>. Pointing to \u201cNaruto&#8217;s journey, his feelings of being an outsider, that feeling of having something ugly, or a monster, or a part of yourself you&#8217;re ashamed of&#8230; And then realizing that that&#8217;s the part that makes you unique, what gives you power\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To stress Naruto&#8217;s importance, it seems that rather than in the fights or in the intensity of the action, the focus will be on its main character. In the tension of having inside him a wild beast he can&#8217;t control , which he keeps locked inside. <strong>Whether this is what its fans expect and are looking for remains to be seen, especially because it still doesn&#8217;t have a release date and isn&#8217;t even ready to go into production yet<\/strong>. But with Kishimoto&#8217;s own approval, there doesn&#8217;t seem to be anything to worry about.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Masashi Kishimoto, author of the Naruto manga, has confirmed that the long-rumored live-action Naruto movie has finally started to get moving.
