'I am an ‘Anime’ fan and there is no doubt that ‘NARUTO’ is one of the best anime I have watched so far. You must be questioning ‘WHY I AM MENTIONING IT?’ And the answer is ‘LIFE LESSONS’ it gave to me.

In this blog I will be sharing one such example:

“Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this world. The longer you live, the more you realize in this reality only pain, suffering and futility exist.”  - MADARA UCHIHA

You must be thinking what a pessimistic thought it is. Isn’t it? But when you know the story of why this character made such a negative statement then you have no other choice to really accept it.

Madara Uchiha, a child (from UCHIHA clan) who saw a ninja war, in which he lost so many close relatives, & friends that he got filled with rage towards the other ninja clans (mainly the SENJU). He participated in war to take revenge of all the lives lost. But the fate brought him a friend, Hashirama, in such a time. Initially they didn’t know about each other’s clan because of the war situation they hid their identities. They both were fed up of seeing so many died people and blood that they wanted to form a village where only peace will exist. They met regularly & learnt things from each other but one day the reality came out. Hashirama’s full name was Hashirama Senju. His heart broke because he knew he had to fight with his friend one day.

They grew up and became the head of their clans. Hashirama’s younger brother, Tobirama, killed Madara’s younger brother. Madara’s pain was so much that his powers grew stronger than before. He decided to take revenge and then establish a village which he dreamt off. Both clans fought & Uchihas lost it. Madara was captured by Hashirama. Hashirama asked him to form an alliance upon which Madara agreed. They both formed a ‘Konoha – The hidden leaf village’. But due to the history of Uchiha’s, Madara still felt that he didn’t belong to Konoha. So, he left and trained to attain more power. And one day he fought a one to one combat against Hashirama in which he died. But at that time Madara had the power to alter the reality, and he changed his death. He then learnt and grew powerful. Before dying he taught everything to his apprentice. The main technique was how to bring back the dead to life. So, when the 4th great ninja war happened Madara was revived. And he told about how this world is nothing but a pit where revenge, jealousy, hate and pain rules. He dreamt off bringing world to peace with a different method where only happiness and peace exists.

It was the 4th great ninja war where he said those words. The words which gave a picture of pessimistic thought but speaking the reality of Madara's perspective of life.

Thanks for reading.
