10 Moments That Really Showed That Naruto Is The No. 1 Hyperactive, Knucklehead Ninja

https://www.cbr.com/moments-prove-naruto-is-the-number-one-hyperactive-knucklehead-ninja/

Shonen anime is full to the brim with overenthusiastic and stupid protagonists that somehow become the most relatable characters — something that can be either very sad or great, depending on your viewpoint. Nothing personifies this statement more than our very own Naruto, who can easily be classified as one of the most energetic and knuckleheaded anime protagonists of all time. Yet, somehow, he's also managed to become the shining light of a show that's named after him... and for good reason.

The tagline of Naruto being The No. 1 Hyperactive, Knucklehead Ninja is something that is completely befitting of his character, and anyone who has seen the anime or read the manga can stand by this statement. To put this into context, here are 10 glaring moments from the show that truly personify Naruto's one-of-a-kind character.

10. Doing Stupid Things For Attention At A Young Age

Being a Jinchūriki led to Naruto having a pretty rough childhood, with the majority of people in the village vilifying him, if not ignoring him outright. This caused Naruto to act out at a young age in a bid to draw attention.

However, there were times when Naruto went a bit too far in this regard. From defacing the Hokage statues to stealing a valuable scroll with a forbidden Jutsu — which he admittedly learned and mastered — young Naruto was a bit too stupid for our liking.

9. Winning Against Kiba By... Farting

The Chūnin exams are meant to be the biggest show of one's skills, putting everything on the line as students give their all in the ring in a show of strength, discipline, and valor. However, the fight between Naruto and Kiba was anything but that.

To even think that Naruto could get the upper hand in a fight by farting is simply too much to fathom. However, this is exactly what turned out to be the case, with our knucklehead ninja overpowering Kiba's strong sense of smell with his natural gas and laying waste to him with the Uzumaki Barrage.

8. Pretending To Be Sasuke To Kiss Sakura

This is where Naruto shows the audience that he's not averse to being a total creep as well. Basically, after trying his hardest to hit on Sakura and failing in the process, Naruto realizes that the only way he'll get some action from his crush is by imitating the person she liked.

So, in a completely misguided turn of events, Naruto decides to disguise himself as Sasuke and almost convinces Sakura to give him a kiss. We have to be thankful that Naruto's bad stomach prevented him from going forward with this notion since it would've led to something truly inexcusable.

7. Throwing Away His Pride In Front Of The Raikage

Naruto always had a soft spot for Sasuke — something that we'll delve into later in this list — which made him perform certain actions that were just completely stupid and moronic, as a result.

The worst example of this came during the Five Kage Summit arc when Naruto decided to humiliate himself in front of the Raikage so that he would spare Sasuke, a foolhardy notion that had the expected outcome of the Raikage completely dismissing his plea and admonishing him for bowing down so trivially.

6. Forgetting That Only Sage Jutsu Works Against The Ten-Tails Jinchūriki Right After Figuring Out The Same

The Fourth Shinobi World War arc was the time when Naruto truly unlocked his full potential and easily became one of the most powerful shinobi of all time. However, no matter how much power he might've had, the fact of the matter is that his boneheaded nature still shone through.

This was on full display when — right after damaging Ten-Tails Jinchūriki Obito with a Sage chakra-enhanced attack — Naruto planned another assault... only for the Second Hokage to point out that he had completely forgotten about the fact that only Sage Jutsu would work against Obito.

5. His Inability To Explain His Divine Healing Powers

Naruto's powerup during the Fourth Shinobi World War arc allowed him to control Six Paths Sage Mode, which gave Naruto a ton of powers — some of which he couldn't even explain!

When Naruto managed to magically restore Kakashi's eye — something that had been damaged for years — the explanation he gave was completely ridiculous, with our favorite knucklehead ninja unable to string basic sentences.

4. Using The Reverse Harem Jutsu Against A God

But of course, nothing comes close to the absolute ridiculousness that Naruto put on display in the Fourth Shinobi World War arc when he decided to fight Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

Finding themselves at a disadvantage, Naruto decided to pull out all the stops... by using a flipped version of his Harem Jutsu to display a bevy of scantily clad men to a god! The worst part was that it actually worked as a distraction, which just boggles our minds!

3. Ignoring His Son After Going Through A Lonely Childhood Himself

You'd think that someone like Naruto, who'd faced the trials and turmoils of facing a lonely childhood, would do everything in his power to ensure that his children wouldn't go through the same ordeal.

However, it seems that Naruto seemingly forgot these definitive childhood moments as he completely ignored his family and focused on his duties as Hokage, thereby becoming nothing short of a complete hypocrite.

2. His Stubborn Devotion To Bring Sasuke Back To Konoha

Pretty much everyone can agree with the fact that Sasuke was a complete psychopath who didn't deserve Naruto's friendship. Yet, the latter did everything possible to ensure that Sasuke would learn the error of his ways and come back to the Leaf Village.

This foolhardy notion culminated in a battle for the ages that is undoubtedly one of the best fights in Naruto by a country mile. However, Naruto's stubbornness is still something stupid that needs to be pointed out regardless. He should've heeded the words of everyone around him and branded Sasuke a traitor like any logical human would in that scenario.

1. Being Completely Oblivious To Hinata's Feelings

If people think that Sasuke didn't deserve Naruto's friendship, then by that same logic Naruto didn't deserve Hinata's love either. After all, it was painfully clear to everyone around them that Hinata had fallen head-over-heels for Naruto, but the No. 1 Hyperactive, Knucklehead Ninja was completely oblivious to this fact.

It took years of blushing and an entire movie of its own for Naruto to finally develop feelings for Hinata... which just feels like a bit too late to blossom, in our opinion.

Bookshelf Briefs 3/11/19

The Ancient Magus’ Bride, Vol. 10 | By Kore Yamazaki | Seven Seas – Welcome to the first volume of Chise Potter, though hopefully we won’t get a Professor Quirrell. Chise gets settled in at college, choosing a dorm by choosing cats, which in my opinion is how every college should do it. Elias follows along, of course, as a teacher, and there’s a gaggle of new characters, most of whom I didn’t really get much from at all. Chise is, thankfully, much less awkward at being social than she used to be—in fact, it’s her roommate who’s the tough nut to crack. That said, most of this volume was pure setup, and I suspect it will read better after I’ve read the next two. I’m definitely grateful that this series is continuing, though, and it’s worth the eventual reread. – Sean Gaffney

Cutie Honey: The Classic Collection | By Go Nagai | Seven Seas – My first real introduction to Cutie Honey was through Shimpei Itoh’s modern manga adaptation Cutie Honey a Go Go!. It was a fun series, so I was looking forward to delving into Go Nagai’s original manga from 1973. Fortunately, along with an essay by novelist Hirayama Yumeaki and an afterword by Go Nagai, Seven Seas has collected the entirety of Cutie Honey in a single hardcover omnibus. Cutie Honey is an entertaining if somewhat absurd series. Much of the manga’s humor tends towards the lewd and admittedly some of the jokes aren’t as socially acceptable as they may have once been. Between the titular heroine’s transformation scenes and the frequency of characters’ clothing being ripped to shreds, there’s a fair amount of nudity in the action-oriented manga. Since the cast is primarily made up of women, it’s mostly female nudity, but the men aren’t immune from sudden clothing loss either. – Ash Brown

Durarara!! re: Dollars Arc, Vol. 4 | By Ryohgo Narita, Suzuhito Yasuda, and Aogiri | Yen Press – Once again, I’m left feeling that the anime and novels handled this material better—the wait between releases doesn’t help, plus the author’s plotting, which involves everything happening at once, makes the manga more diffuse and confusing than it has any right to be. The best bits probably involved Ruri and Shizuo’s brother, who bond over their difficulty with basic human emotions, like so many other Narita couples. Last time I said Izaya was about to jump start things, but he’s absent from this book, meaning that it meanders a bit too much. It really needs someone making everyone’s lives miserable again. Which I’m sure will happen soon. Maybe. – Sean Gaffney

Everyone’s Getting Married, Vol. 9 | By Izumi Miyazono | Viz Media – The final volume of this series ties up everything that’s been getting in the way of Asuka and Ryu getting married. Ryu decides he does love Asuka and resolves to return and fight to save their relationship. Asuka realizes that she doesn’t have to get married NOW and uses that to spend three years doing so well at her job that she can now take a year off to get married and have a baby and NOT have to worry about being fired for being a married woman. Heck, even Asuka’s friend who was perfectly happy to not get married is getting married. So in the end the title proves to be true, and you’re really happy to see the two of them finally work everything out. A very good josei series, bring on more of them. – Sean Gaffney

Hakumei & Mikochi: Tiny Little Life in the Woods, Vol. 4 | By Takuto Kashiki | Yen Press – I joked on Twitter that after the girls from Girls’ Last Tour died, they were reincarnated as Hakumei and Mikochi, and while Hakumei may be a bit too sensible for that to map exactly, there is very much the sense of exploration across both volumes, even though the two should be more familiar with their setting. We meet Mikochi’s sister in this volume, who is a writer and a tease, not in that order. There’s a festival chapter (sort of), a hot spring chapter (sort of), and a chapter which will make you cry at the death of a coffee grinder. In short, most of why readers read this series is on full display here. I enjoy this more and more with each volume, and always smile as I read. – Sean Gaffney

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Vol. 7 | By Aka Akasaka | Viz Media – There’s some good comedy here at the head and tail of the book. My favorite chapter was probably the one involving Miyuki, who is no longer sleep-deprived, losing the bags under his eyes—which terrifies everyone and makes Kaguya realize that her love of them may be a fetish. But the bulk of this book is to introduce a new major character, Miko, the girl on the cover who is super earnest and also super awkward. She’s running against Miyuki in the election, and her ideas are great but her stage fright isn’t. Fortunately, Miyuki takes a page from Hachiken’s book and makes himself the bad guy to fix things—fortunately he wins anyway. I want to see how Miko adds to the dynamic. – Sean Gaffney

Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits, Vol. 2 | By Waco Ioka and Midori Yuma | Viz Media – I enjoyed this second volume more than the first, not uncommon with Shojo Beat stories. Aoi’s still having trouble getting anyone to give her a job, but after she gives some home-cooked food to a passing drunk who turns out to be really important, she’s making important connections. More to the point, Aoi compares her story explicitly with Beauty and the Beast, and she’s not wrong. There’s also a jealous woman who attempts to sabotage things and is caught and about to be humiliated. That said, that’s the cliffhanger, and I’m fairly certain Aoi’s going to save her with the power of niceness. I am OK with following this yokai series now that Kamisama Kiss has ended. – Sean Gaffney

Maiden Railways | By Asumiko Nakamura | Denpa – Somehow, I’d gotten the impression that this was a girls’ love anthology, but in reality, only one couple depicted herein fits that bill. Instead, we get stories about a pickpocket helping an inattentive husband make up with his wife, a girl who’s moving away seizing the moment to confess to a boy, a ghost with lingering regrets, and a guy whose wife thinks he’s cheating on her because he works late and brings home cake. Trains figure prominently in each story—in a couple we get some detailed timetables as one party tries taking a different train to catch up with someone, but in some stories the action is just rooted around a train station, or perhaps about a beloved late relative’s model train set. They’re all low-key and they’re all enjoyable, even if they ultimately don’t leave a strong impression. I look forward to Doukyuusei by this author, coming soon! – Michelle Smith

Skip Beat!, Vol. 42 | By Yoshiki Nakamura | VIZ Media – Kyoko’s audition for the role of Momiji continues. She’s emerged victorious over the scheming Kimiko in terms of swordfighting, but that alone isn’t enough to convince the director to cast her. Overhearing another actor deduce that Kyoko likes Ren, Kimiko manages to convince Kyoko that Ren is in love with her, with nearly disastrous results. There are some frustrating things in this volume, like Kyoko almost telling Moko about her feelings for Ren but chickening out and her taking in some intel about Kimiko liking some other guy without actually questioning her conclusion that Ren’s secret love is Kimiko. I know, I know. Shoujo gotta shoujo. But I am just so ready for some real movement on this point, as much as I love seeing Kyoko kick ass career-wise. Soon, please? – Michelle Smith
