This episode wasn't really that important, but it introduces a new character ,Konohamaru! The episode begins with Naruto getting his picture taken for the ninja yearbook. just to let you know,he painted his face in a strange way. He takes it in to the third hogake to get it in the yearbook and the hokage says " Do it over!" Naruto does his usual arguing, when a little brat runs in and shouts" On guard old man!?" and suddenly trips over his own feet. The kids name is Konohamaru by the way. Konohamaru's tutor,Ebisu, runs in in search for him, and Konohamaru yells" He tripped Me", and Naruto comes back saying" You tripped over your own feet brat!!!" Naruto picks him up andis about to hit him when Ebisu shouts" Unhand him, he is the honorable grandson of the third hogake!" Naruto replies" Like I care!" and whacks Konohamaru upside the head. Naruto leaves and Konohamaru follows thinking Naruto doesn't notice him, when it's totally obvious. Konohamaru asks Naruto to be his new tutor and to teach him the ninja centerfold jutsu Naruto used on the Hokage. Naruto says yes and begins teaching him the ninja centerfold jutsu he invented. Problem is, Konohamaru turns into a fat,short,ugly chick! After that training they are sitting on a log, while Naruto is drinking a pop. Konohamaru tells Naruto That he wants to become the next hogake, so people will call him by his real name,Konohamaru, and not the honorable grandson of the third hogake! Naruto says "Ha, it's to big of a name for a little guy,and to become the next hokage, he'd have to beat him in a fight for it! All of the sudden Ebisu pops up and says"There you are, honorable grandson, come with me to continue proper training!" Konohamaru yells"Naruto is my new trainer!" Ebisu says" But you don't even know one jutsu!" Konohamaru replies" Oh ya, how do ya like my jutsu!" and Konohamaru turns into a sexy girl surronded in light mist! Ebisu nose starts to bleed in emberasment and says" Not proper for a mans eyes" Konohamaru turns back to normal and says" Oh man, why didn't it work!?" All of the sudden Naruto uses his dobbleganger jutsu, surrounds Ebisu and uses his ninja centerfold jutsu, turns into a bunch of pretty naked girls and smothers Ebisu with all of them! Ebisu's nose bleeds again, and he shoots out of nowhere. In the end Konohamaru doesn't want to be tortured by anyone and Naruto and him are now rivals!!

the comparison between the government here and the government in other countries

well we can compare a lot of things about the government in both Philippines and other country, i can't name specific country because all of the countries is better than ours in regards to the structure of government. first of all government on other country the structure of government their is not corrupt that's why they have so many resources i know sometimes get a little out of control but they're kind of government is the one who can control they're own actions like they can manage the ups and downs of their society, comparing it to our society one problem with the government, cram goes to the officials like they don't know what to do because they're is none unity compared to the other society that is higher rank than us. and another thing other society can sustain the needs of the poor without any argument or anything but when even if the government promised that they will sustain the needs of the poor, they didn't fulfill it, so they always way that they will change the world by lessening the poor in the Philippines but when they say it they only make conflicts in the hearts of the Filipinos

Summary of Naruto Episode 1: Uzumaki Naruto Arrives

The first episode opens with a view of a full moon and tails swinging beneath it as a voice explains what happened supposedly long ago. As the scene moves down we see a full view of a big fox demon with nine tails that will be now referred to as the NineTails. The voice continues to explain about how strong the demon is and how the shinobis fought it. Meanwhile, we see a bunch of wounded shinobis fighting, as a giant frog with a long pipe appears, with a man standing on top of it to face the NineTails. The voice then continues to explain that this person sacrificed his life to defeat the NineTails, and this was the Fourth Hokage. Thus, the episode begins after this being set as the backdrop for your first episode with the opening song playing in the background. 

The scene changes to our main character, a blonde boy of 12 years old running away from 2 pursuing shinobis with a bucket in his hand full of what looks like yellow paint. They started jumping all around the buildings in the town he's being chased through trying to escape them. The blonde boy then tells them all to shut up and explains how none of them could have done something this horrible, but he can, while we see close-ups of graffiti all over big heads sculpted from a mountain side. Some shinobi explain to an old man who is the Third Hokage (and the voice from the beginning of the episode) that Naruto (the blonde boy) has put graffiti all over the Hokage monuments. 

We then head back to Naruto, who is still running away from the pursuing shinobis, when at one point it looks like he's run past when he's really hidden himself on a fence using an active camouflage cover. Just when you think he's run away after calling them idiots and all, another shinobi appears behind him and startles him, Naruto calls him Iruka Sensei (teacher). Iruka then makes a very peeved off face at him and asks him what he was doing during class time.

We then switch over to a view of the Shinobi School, where we see Naruto tied up sitting on the floor and Iruka explaining to him that he's failed many tests and shouldn't be doing pranks. He then turns to the class and exclaims that today's class will be a review on their transformation technique, and even those who've passed have to go again. The scene changes to a view of Haruno Sakura, a girl with long pink hair who transforms in to her teacher perfectly. Her inner self manages to exclaim a hooray right after herself and she asks if yet another new character Uchiha Sasuke, saw how well she did as she seems to be infatuated from the moment you see the way she asks, he ignores her and moves on the perform the technique perfectly as well. 

Then it's Naruto's turn as some of his class mates (whose names aren't mentioned yet) start to complain about the review. Naruto makes it simple, he doesn't care, and as he steps up to transform a girl who seems to blush at the sight of him, wishes him luck. Naruto shouts, "Transform!" (like everyone else did), and instead of changing into his teacher, he transforms into a beautiful naked woman (whose parts are covered by magic smoke) and he/she gives Iruka a wink and blows him a kiss. Iruka stares blankly, and his face puffs up and he gets a major nose bleed and gets blown back as Naruto transforms back and starts laughing explaining that, that was his very own Sexy Technique. Iruka now looks extremely peeved and has to tissues up his nose that came from nowhere as he screams at Naruto to not invent idiot techniques. 


The scene changes now as we see Naruto cleaning the Hokage monument with a rag as Iruka explains that he can't go home until he's cleaned all of it. Naruto doesn't care as he has no one to go home to, and Iruka decides to treat him to ramen (Japanese noodle dish) if he finishes by the end of the night. Naruto suddenly gets a burst of energy and agrees to work hard. The title of the episode is displayed after. 

The scene is now at a ramen stand called Ichiraku Ramen where we see Naruto eating his ramen voraciously while Iruka asks him why he put graffiti all over the monument and how important the Hokage are. Naruto reassures Iruka that he knows as he polishes of his ramen bowl and explains that Hokage are the number on ninjas in the village. He then recalls an image of the monument of the Fourth Hokage and how he saved the village from the NineTails. Iruka still doesn't know why he put graffiti on the monument. Naruto goes in to a short speech about how he's going to get the Hokage name and then he'll surpass all the other Hokage and have everyone in the village acknowledge his strength. 

Iruka just sits there dumbfounded finishing off a ramen noodle. Naruto then asks Iruka for a favour, Iruka thinks he wants seconds but instead Naruto asks if he can borrow Iruka's head protector (all ninjas wear one as a symbol of the village they're from). By the way, Naruto and co. are from the village of Konoha (Leaf). Iruka then explains to Naruto how he'll get one after he graduates and it's a symbol that he's come of age and that he can get one tomorrow. Naruto exclaims that that's stingy of him and Iruka tells him that that's why he removed his goggles, so Naruto asks for seconds. 

Now we're back at the Shinobi School and it's the graduation exam. Iruka explains how those that are called will proceed to the next classroom and will be tested there. The test will be to do the Clone Technique. Naruto freaks out as he explains that that's his worst skill, but upon entering the classroom he seems confident that he'll do it. Naruto gets ready, and performs the technique, but manages to create one clone, and one that looks dead at that. Naruto begins to worry and Iruka shouts that he's failed. Another examiner named Mizuki, starts to explain that Naruto has excellent athletic ability and stamina and that he technically did make a clone, but Iruka argues that everyone else made at least three and Naruto's was useless. He can't let him pass. 
The scene is now outside of the graduation school sitting on a swing watching all of his classmates with their forehead protectors, all passed, while their parents exclaim how great they are. Two women start to talk about him and how they're glad he didn't pass because of something he is, but they don't say yet. The view changes to Mizuki standing beside Naruto, then to Iruka and the Hokage as the Hokage asks to speak to Iruka later. The swing is shown empty as Iruka answers yes. 

It's now sunset and Naruto and Mizuki and sitting on a roof having a conversation. Mizuki explains how Iruka isn't picking on him, but Naruto doesn't understand why he's the only one not to pass. Mizuki explains how Iruka probably wants him to become genuinely strong since they're both orphans. Naruto still persists that he really wanted to pass. Mizuki chuckles and tells him that there's no choice now, and he's going to teach Naruto a special secret. Naruto wonders what he's talking about. 

We now see Iruka lying in bed thinking of what the Hokage said about Naruto and how like him, Naruto grew up not knowing his parents. Iruka then has a flashback of the NineTails and him being carried away by a shinobi as a child while his parents are still fighting and he's screaming for them. Mizuki then shouts for Iruka to wake up and Iruka comes running out his door to meet him as Mizuki explains that they must go to the Hokage's place because Naruto has stolen the Scroll of Seals! Iruka makes a surprised look and the scene fades out. 

We start now in a forest at night time with Naruto reading from a scroll about learning new techniques, and the first one to start is the Shadow Clone Technique. Naruto exclaims that he's peeved that it always starts with the one's he's bad with. We then see a close up of a bunch of shinbois back at the village saying that they'll catch Naruto and that the Scroll of Seals was forbidden by the previous Hokage and that it's dangerous and can't be taken out of the village. The Hokage agrees and orders them to bring back Naruto as the shinobis scatter in various directions. Then we see an exhausted Iruka wondering where Naruto went, and Mizuki searching for him as well, but instead, he wants to kill Naruto and steal the Scroll of Seals for himself. 

Now we're back at the forest and it seems that Iruka has found Naruto as he looks peeved at him again. Naruto tries to look innocent and tells him he's only learned one skill so far. Iruka then wonders how Naruto was training in the forest, and he looks so roughed up. Naruto proposes that if he shows him the amazing technique he just learned, he'll have to pass him from Shinobi School. Iruka wonders who told him about that, and Naruto explains that it was Mizuki who told him about the scroll and his training grounds as Iruka looks on a bit scared wondering why Mizuki did. Just then, a bunch of kunai (throwing knives) come flying at Iruka from behind him, as he pushes Naruto out of the way and gets one stuck in leg as the others fly past him on to a log cabin. Mizuki states that it's impressive Iruka found him, and Iruka realizes what's going on. 

Mizuki asks Naruto to hand over the scroll to him, but Naruto just asks what's going on. Iruka pulls the kunai from his leg and explains to Naruto to never hand over the scroll as it has forbidden techniques sealed in it, and Mizuki used Naruto in order to get his hands on it. Naruto the realizes what's going on too as Mizuki contradicts Iruka saying that he's afraid of him having the scroll, but Iruka tells Naruto not to listen to him. Mizuki says he'll tell Naruto the truth but Iruka doesn't want him to. Mizuki begins to explain that twelve years ago, in the village a rule was created, a rule no one was allowed to tell Naruto about. Naruto starts to get really intrigued now but Iruka still doesn't want Mizuki to tell. However, Mizuki continues to tell him that Naruto really is the NineTails! This means that he's the NineTails that destroyed Iruka's parents and the village. Iruka yells at him to stop, but Naruto is in a state of shock now as he continues to explain that Naruto was lied to by everyone, and asks him if he found it odd to be hated by everyone. Naruto starts to have minor, insignificant flashbacks as tears start to fill his eyes and anger wells up inside of him, his power surrounding him, and Mizuki saying that no one will ever acknowledge him, that even Iruka hates him! 

Iruka starts to remember another Hokage flashback about him saying that Naruto has never known a parent's love, and that he's hated by all the villagers because of that incident and all he could do to get attention was create mischief. Now he's seeking acknowledgement of his existence in any possible way, he may act tough but he's really suffering. The flashback ends, and we see Mizuki spinning a big shuriken (throwing star) as he throws it at Naruto. Naruto tries to scramble away, but Iruka yells for him to get down and blocks the shot with his own back. Iruka starts to cough up blood, and a scared Naruto asks why he did it. Iruka then has more flashbacks and starts to explain that they were the same as children. Iruka then starts to cry, and starts saying how it must have been painful for Naruto as he's crouched over him with the shuriken sticking out of his back. 

Iruka then apologizes to Naruto as Mizuki starts to laugh and exclaims how Iruka always hated Naruto for killing his parents, and that he says all that, but he only wants the scroll back. Naruto makes a confused face and runs off to the woods with Iruka shouting after him. Mizuki jumps down from the tree he was on and explains how Naruto isn't type to have a change of heart. Then we see Naruto running through the woods, and Mizuki saying how he'll use the scroll to get revenge on the village. Now back to Mizuki as he says that Naruto's eyes are like a demon fox's. Iruka says that Naruto isn't like that and pulls the shuriken from his back and throwing it a Mizuki who calmly steps out of the way saying that if he kills Naruto, he'll get the scroll, and take care of Iruka later. Then he leaves in Naruto's direction and Iruka follows. 

The scene is now of the Hokage looking in to a crystal ball making the observation that Mizuki has told Naruto. As he watches Naruto run through the forest, he says that Naruto is now afraid like never before and that the sealed power may be released. Also, he is holding the Scroll of Seals, but the odds of him breaking the seal and letting the NineTails loose are one in a million but it is possible, and if that happens; and he ends mid-sentence. 

Now back to the woods and the fleeing Naruto, Iruka seems to have found Naruto and reassures him that what Iruka said was false, and to pass him the scroll. Naruto then jumps up and delivers a hard blow to Iruka who falls to the ground as Naruto stops. Iruka can't believe it, that Naruto found out it was really Mizuki transformed. As Naruto sits down, he grins, and transforms in to Iruka and says it's because he's Iruka. (Confused yet..?) Mizuki then starts to wonder how Iruka could transform in to what killed his parents just to protect him. Iruka says that he doesn't want to hand the scroll over to an idiot like Mizuki. So Mizuki calls Iruka an idiot, and says now that he and Naruto are the same, while Iruka wonders why. Mizuki says that if you use the techniques in the scroll, you can do whatever you want, there's no way the NineTails wouldn't try and use that kind of power. Iruka agrees and Naruto sits there thinking about how he knew all along that Iruka, deep down, doesn't acknowledge him. (Naruto was behind a tree close to them the entire time.) 

Then Iruka starts to say how that would be true if he was the demon fox, but Naruto is different and that he's acknowledged him as one of his excellent students, and that he's hardworking and dedicated, but because he's clumsy nobody acknowledges him. He already knows what pain of the heart is, and he isn't the NineTails anymore, he's the Hidden Leaf's village Uzumaki Naruto! Then it closes up on a sniveling Naruto, then on an annoyed Mizuki as he calls Iruka hopeless and unlatches a second big shuriken saying he's decided to take care of him now so he should hurry up and die! Mizuki runs at him spinning the shuriken while Iruka thinks it's the end, then, out of nowhere, the real Naruto from behind the tree pops out and smashes Mizuki in the stomach sending him flying back while Iruka watches surprised. Mizuki warns Naruto, but he replies saying with a dark tone that if he touches Iruka, he'll kill him. 

Mizuki all peeved off says he could kill a punk like him in one shot, so Naruto dares him to try it, he'll return the pain a thousand times over. Mizuki encourages Naruto so he performs the Shadow Clone Technique with perfect accuracy that he learned from the Scroll of Seals. Now, Naruto creates one heck of a lot of clones, to many to count, so I'll leave you with more then 100. Iruka sits there dumbfounded explaining how the Shadow Clone Technique is different from the Clone Technique and this creates actual bodies and not illusions. Mizuki starts to freak out as all the Naruto's start to ask what's wrong, and saying come at me. Mizuki falls back, and Naruto volunteers to start things off, then Mizuki screams and you see the sky and hear sounds of Mizuki getting pounded in to oblivion. 

The next scene you see a pretty well beaten up Mizuki laying on the ground, while Naruto stands there thinking he overdid it. He asks Iruka if he's alright and Iruka is impressed, and makes an assumption of Naruto surpassing all previous Hokage. He asks Naruto to come over to him because he has something to give him. Scene change, as we see all the other shinobi that scattered earlier on, wondering if anyone's found Naruto. The Hokage approaches and tells everyone there's nothing to worry about now, and that he'll be back soon. 

Scene change, again, now we have a black screen, and Naruto asking if he can open his eyes. Iruka tells him sure, and he opens his eyes to see a beaming Iruka sitting there with Naruto's goggles in hand. The view changes as we see all of Naruto now wearing a forehead protector just as the day breaks and the rays of sun come through the trees with the birds singing. Iruka congratulates Naruto on graduating, and now it's Naruto's turn to look dumbfounded as Iruka makes plans to celebrate and buy Naruto a bowl of ramen. Naruto's lips begin to tremble as he throws himself on to Iruka and they land on a tree Naruto shouting to Iruka about something. While this is going on in the background, Iruka starts to sat how he was about to explain that the hard part of being a shinobi had just begun, but he'll save that for the ramen place. Then the ending plays, and scenes from the next episode play out as well.

Naruto Advanced Bloodlines

Bloodlines (Sharingan And Byakugan)
This name classifies a genetic trait or ability passed down through generations of members of a certain clan. Since the ability can only be inherited through blood, others cannot imitate it through any other means.
Bloodline Limits are rare in some cases, even amongst clans. Those with a Blood Limit are employed as special tools by ninja clans in the interest of gaining an advantage in war and combat. Since country rulers specifically employed those with Bloodline Limits, as tools of war, those who possessed them were associated with it's meaning along with violence and death. This provoked uneasiness amongst people without a Bloodline Limit. Those with Bloodline Limits were singled out by society. This eventually led to the provocation of murderous intent through fear for those with a Bloodline Limit. This is what promoted the interest of the extinction of Bloodline Limits, and only those who were lucky survived the murderous raids.

Byakugan

Byakugan is a special eye trait limited to Hyuuga Clan members. When this Bloodline Limit is used a strain is forced around the eye below the temple towards the ears. There's a noticeable difference on the user's face: blood vessels appear to be pulsating through the skin. The user of this Bloodline Limit is capable of turning it on or off at will (after originally performing the hand seals). It appears as though its use has no negative physical effect on the user, but it is not known what kind of effect is placed on the eye after being used for a prolonged period of time.
When the user activates Byakugan, the user gains exceptional vision. This new vision allows the user to view an opponents Chakra circulatory system. The user also has a field of vision, which is almost 360 degrees, minimizing the blind spot. In addition to this, the users range of vision can increase over a very long distance. The strength of this vision may depend on the ability of the user. The increase in range of vision complements the new field of vision. This allows the user to detect, without effort, any action within a 15m radius (the small blind spot is counted as an exception). The Byakugan user boasts an advantage in the field of close combat due to the vision and sense of nearby surroundings he/she has.
After activating Byakugan, the user can perform Jyuuken (Gentle Fist). The level of Jyuuken performed depends on the ability of the user and the strength of the user's Byakugan. A skilled Byakugan user may use Jyuuken to seek an opponents Chakra holes (Tenketsu) and attack the Chakra circulatory system directly by making then it target of a Jyuuken attack. A highly skilled Byakugan user is capable of damaging all of the opponents Chakra holes and potentially shutting down the opponents Chakra circulatory system.
Value
Byakugan, Hyuuga's Bloodline Limit is extremely important to the Hyuuga clan. It is so essential, it is the reason why the Hyuuga clan is divided into two bodies: The Head family and the Branch family.
Byakugan is a Bloodline Limit that exists in all Hyuuga members and the reason of the two separate bodies is to reduce the risk of exposing the secrets of the Bloodline Limit. The Branch family is subordinate to the Head family. The difference between the two bodies is the Cursed Seal possessed by all Branch family members. The Branch family exists to protect the Head family and the Bloodline Limit. This duty is forced upon the Branch family through the Cursed Seal, which appears as a cross/swastika (Anime/Manga, respectively) on the forehead of the family member. A special technique can be used against the carriers of the Cursed Seal. Members of the Head family that know how to perform the technique can attack the brain cells of a Branch family member with a high risk of death.
The Cursed Seal has a second property that activates on the moment of the death of a Branch family member. When a Branch family member dies his/her Bloodline Limit is sealed. If the member were to die in combat, the secrets of the Hyuuga Bloodline Limit cannot be discovered through means of inspection of that particular member. The Branch family is the shield of the Head family and also, the Byakugan.
The Extension of the Bloodline Limit
A number of techniques have been created to complement and utilize the ability of Byakugan.
Hakke Rokujuuyon Shou - Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms
This particular technique utilizes the Byakugan user's ability to view an opponent's Chakra holes. If a user's opponent is within close range (a 5m radius of the user) he/she can be a victim of this technique. The user of this technique combines Byakugan and Jyuuken to strike the 64 Chakra holes of an opponent halting their Chakra circulatory system. An opponent without an active Chakra circulatory system is practically unable to perform Genjutsu, Ninjutsu or Taijutsu.
The number of strikes in this technique is cumulative (increases by successive addition). The user strikes twice the first time (2 hits), twice again (4 hits). Then the user strikes 4 times (8 hits), 8 times (16 hits), 16 times (32 hits), and finally 32 times (64 hits).
Hakke Hyaku Nijuha Shou - Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms
This particular technique is a varation of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. Employing this technique against an opponent can allow the user to strike an opponent's 64 Chakra holes twice. The user strikes a final 64 times after the initial 64 strikes.
Hakkeshou Kaiten - Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin
This particular technique was created for defensive purposes. The technique's purpose is to compensate for the weakness of Byakugan, the blind spot. The user spins releasing Chakra from his/her Chakra points creating an impenetrable hemisphere, which nullifies physical attacks. This defensive manoeuvre is capable of tossing an opponent's through the air and can bless the user with time to prepare for an offensive maneuverer. 
Let me show you the Hyuuga Clan:



Sharingan 
The Sharingan is a special kind of pupil in the eye that some members of the legendary Uchiha clan possess. Among the many abilities the Sharingan gives to the user, the most well known is the capability to memorize any technique that is viewed by the unique eye, these include Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu. The only techniques it cannot copy are the ones that are limited to any other special bloodline. When a specific technique has been copied it can be used perfectly by the user. Another advantage of the Sharingan is the ability to see through any illusionary techniques. Unfortunately a huge weakness of the Sharingan is when it is being used chakra is drained rapidly from the user so in order to use the techniques that it has copied, a large amount of training has to be done to acquire the strength and stamina needed to perform the technique. It is thought that the Sharingan evolved from the Byakugan which is the Hyuuga clans bloodline limit.
Let me show you the Uchiha clan:

background of Naruto Anime

Naruto Anime is story of a boy name Naruto Uzumaki that's been hated in his village called Hidden leaf village(Konoha) because of the tailed beast or also known as the Jinjuriki, a Jijuriki or tailed beast is a animal or beast with unstable power that can destroy one village their power is based on how many tails this beast have nine is the highest and this tailed beast can seal in a human body so that the tailed beast cannot harm villages but upon sealing it to a human makes it difficult to the human because many had tried to control thier power but none succeeded, apparently one of the tailed beast is sealed within Naruto Uzumaki his father sealed the nine tailed beast inside of Naruto to stop the nine tailed in destroying Konoha. but when the nine tailed beast is sealed within Naruto the whole village hated him. so let me show you a little preview of one of the Naruto episodes. this occurred in their training field. its their chunin exam. a chunin exam by the way is the rank. just like in Taekwondo, they have a black belter, white, etc, here in Konoha they have a chunin, jonin, etc. they increase their ranks by fighting one another applying all their trainings, and the highest possible rank is the hokage, hokage is the leader of the village. just like a barangay captain. so here is the video:

Dead Man's path

when i first red the story "dead men's Path" by Chinua Achebe i'm confused on what is happening in the school and how come they closed it along time ago.the deeper i get from the story i realized that the pathway that was beside the school has a history. that some of the so called "ninuno" of that village is buried deep within that path and the villagers felt disrespected because they build a school beside it so they plan to closed the school but the owners didn't agree on this opposition, instead they continue they're work. so as I've understand it. the school got bad luck for their insolence to the villagers.the comparison of Ibo culture and our own is the villagers in Africa lived in thousand and in hundreds without a single leader or ruler compared to us we are very big in terms of population and we have our very own president or ruler. but they have a council of chiefs, women association and secrets society. but some of this societies is based from age. like elders as they call. the Ibos are profoundly religious. these polytheistic people worship many Gods. They believe that there are three levels of divine beings: the highest level is the supreme God, or "Chukwu." underneath chukwu are lesser Gods, called "Umuagbara", and under these are the "Ndi Ichie", the spirit of dead peoples. The Ibos also believed in reincarnation. comparing it in our own society. Filipinos are also religious person that serves many Gods. but these Gods are not classified in levels. it is by religion that their Gods is classified. so comparing the settings in the story on our own culture is that we also care about our buried ancestors but we don't force to closed a school just because it is beside the path on the buried peoples. i guess that the reason the characters reacted that way is because they believe in reincarnation and they believe that the spirits of there love ones is still among them

history of naruto

Naruto Uzumaki  is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto created by Masashi Kishimoto. Naruto is the main protagonist and titular character of the series. When creating Naruto, Kishimoto wished to keep the character "simple and stupid", while giving him many attributes of Son Goku, the main character from the Dragon Ball franchise. However, Kishimoto also added his dark past to make him unique. Naruto's initial design has been changed several times by Kishimoto, providing the character with different clothes to make him more appealing to Western audiences, in addition to being easier to draw and color.
In the series, Naruto is a ninja affiliated with the fictional village of Konohagakure. The villagers ostracize Naruto because the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, a malevolent creature that attacked Konohagakure, is sealed within his body. As such, Naruto has ambitions of becoming the village's leader, the Hokage, in order to gain recognition amongst his peers. Nonetheless, Naruto maintains a cheerful and boisterous personality, allowing him to befriend several other Konoha ninja throughout the series, as well as ninja from other villages. He builds an especially close relationship with Team 7, the ninja team where he belongs, treating them as his family. Naruto appears in all of the series' films, as well as in other media related to the franchise, including all video games and original video animations.
Several anime and manga publications have expressed acclaim and criticism of Naruto's character. Some view him as a stereotypical manga and anime protagonist comparable to those in many other shōnen manga, while others have praised his personality as well as his development in the series. Nevertheless, Naruto has remained highly popular with the Naruto fan-base, placing high in several popularity polls. Merchandise based on Naruto has also been released, including figurines and plush dolls.

the story of an hour

"the story of an hour" by Kate Chopin is an interesting story because is its a story about a wife who mourns about his husband's death, but this tragic story turn upside down when i reached the ending part of the story its rather a weird story because the husband turned out to be alive because there hasn't been any accident occurred in their time. so the wife out of joy died in a cardiac arrest. so it turns out that the wife died instead of the husband. its rather a weird story because the wife died because of disappointment i think. the vocabulary used in this story is so deep thats why i didn't get to understand it at first but when someone explained it to me i understand it perfectly. so the main characters in these story is the wife(Louise or Mrs. Mallard) and the husband(Brently or Mr. Mallard) and the secondary characters is the friends of both Mr and Mrs Mallard.
