Well...this doesn't make you wonder...but I will BoT soon. I think the flak vest of Konoha is relatively camouflaged...the likes of Gai etc. Anyways. Regarding the time period of Naruto...it really is just fictional...as Kiel said. In my opinion, I don't really think there IS a time period. Its just bitsy...

Camoflage is for wusses.
Besides, if you have ninjutsu that can substitute your body for a double in the blink of an eye, or ones that can hide your body in things...or that you can create clones of yourself...
camoflage seems a little overrated.
That's old technology, ninjutsu is the new camoflage, with makes camoflage the...old camoflage?
I dunno...Naruto wears orange though...regardless...that's just kinda dumb.

prexactly.
Hmm...it's been a little bit since I've posted an original thought about Naruto that kind of made me wonder...I used up all of my good ones...let's see what we can't do about that.
*thinks*
Well, the thing that's made me wonder the most out of the whole freakin series is really the relkationship between Orochimaru and Anko. Actually, Orochimaru in general is a fascinating topic for debate and discussion.
But, I decided I'd had enough of guesswork and fantasicing about what could have happened. I wanted answers, so I went straight to the source!
The following is a transcript of a live interview. Certain sections have been witheld to protect the interviewee's privacy and credibility.
Kiel: Ladies and Gentlemen, we're privileged to have with us a man known around the world as 'The Giant Snake', 'Konoha's bane', Orochimaru-sama.
Orochimaru: That's me.
K: How are you Orochimaru?
O: Not too bad, doing pretty good. Got a good night's sleep.
K: Always good to hear. Now, I'd like to ask you a bunch of questions regarding your past, if that's alright.
O: Of course, sounds like fun.
K: Okay. First, many of us would really like to know how you met Mitsurashi Anko. Just what was your connection with her? We've seen a picture of a younger you with her in her teens.
O: Ah yes, Anko. Well, there's really not much to tell. I was her teacher, she was my student. She showed real promise, a real spunky little thing.
K: So you gave her the 'heaven' curse seal?
O: Oh I don't know about a curse. Yeah, I gave her a seal, but it wasn't a curse. Sheesh, it was, like, a gift. To make her stronger and everything. I thought she might make a good vessel for my soul, so I gave it to her.
K: But, as we know, it didn't work out.
O: Naw. I got bored one day and decided to see someone else. You know how us guys get, we're only interested for so long, things get dull, so we need some more excitement. A windmill that isn't burning isn't fun to watch, am I right?
K: Yes...I'm sure you are...so, how did Anko take this?
O: I saw her again durng the Chuunin exam a little while ago. I thought it'd be cool to see her again, y'know, catch up on old times, but the first thing she tries to do is KILL me! I guess she still hadn't gotten over it. She was all like, "Give me your left hand, you're going to die here with me!", and I was all like, "Geez baby, haven't seen me in years and you wanna kill me? How about a 'hello'? Or a 'It's nice to see you'?". Some women...phew...
K: I see...and it was then that you first saw Sasuke?
O: Oh, yeah! Sweet kid, very talented, nice legs. He piqued my interest. I saw him fight and it reminded me of his older brother. Y'know, Itachi? He was a swell guy, kinda rude though. Never waved hi to me or bought us all a round of drinks at the pub. Come to think of it, I guess he wasn't so swell...but Sasuke, he's cool.
K: So you gave him the curse seal too?
O: Yeah, you could say that. I was really only trying to lean over and whisper something in his ear like, "You're cute, wanna grab a drink?", but I ended up biting him...oh well, all's well that ends well.
K: You mean you never intended to curse him?
O: No, not really. I mean, we just met! Usually something like that you don't do 'til, like, the second date. I mean, talk about getting off to a fast start. I wanted to ask him out, but I got nervous and mumbled something like "Seek me out if you desire power." Either way, we're doing good now.
K: Yes, Sasuke's in the Otogakure now...how is he? Is he training?
O: Oh yeah. He's getting stronger all the time.
K: How has he improved? The fans are dying to know!
O: ...he's very good at handstands...not to many kids can do them...but Sasuke? He's a natural.
K: ...I see. Anything else about his arrival that you'd like to mention?
O: Oh yeah. It's not as crowded here anymore since he got here. I mean, I lost five of my tennants trying to get him here. Lots of space now. I redecorated the evil castle, turned Tayuya's old room into a new laundry room. Sakon's became the new rec room. Of course, I had to take down all of his "The Cure" posters...sheesh.
K: So it's just you , Sasuke, and Kabuto?
K: Kabuto? Oh, well...he's kinda living in the guest house ever since Sasuke got here. He's been in a bad mood now that he has to share his master with another boy. Talk about a jealous little kid...
K: Many of us have been wondering, what was your relationship like with the other Sannins?
O: It wasn't bad. I mean, I grew up with these guys, they were like family. I kinda always had a crush on Tsunade...I tried to, y'know, impress her a lot. She didn't really notice me though. She was kinda stuck up. Jiraiya was a complete goof. I used to hang with him a lot. The three of us used to play Monopoly on rainy days. Jiraiya would always stick the little dog up his nose to make me laugh. We stopped playing after his fourth trip to the hospital to remove pewter models from his nasal cavity.
K: And later on?
O: Well, they didn't improve. As we got older, Jiraiya grew really tall and Tsunade grew...a pair of breasts. Maybe she went to breast camp? I dunno, but I stayed short and...well, breastless. I suppose the second part is still okay though. I got really angsty and didn't want to hang around them as much. I felt kinda inferior to them, so I started experimenting with jutsus. That's how I became immortal and such.
K: I see, and the rest is history.
O: Yeah, pretty much.
K: Just one more question before we leave, what was your relationship with the Yondaime?
O: The Fourth? He was an okay kinda guy. Really friendly, always smiling. Jiraiya liked him a lot. It kinda pissed me off that he got to be Hokage and all I got was "Miss Congeniality"...but before that, we were mates, y'know, chums, buddies, padres. We played pool a lot. We braided each other's hair one summer. It was nice...his was always so frizzy though...he never listened to me about hair care...would've saved him from the Kyuubi.
K: Alright, I think we're out of time. It's been wonderful though. Do you have any advice for our readers at home?
O: Um, yeah. No matter what people say, the Akatsuki are criminals, so don't trust them. Oh, and bell bottoms were never fashionable.

LoL. I can't take all the credit for the interview, it was somewhat based off of the "Interview with Jesus" from George Carlin's 'Napalm and Silly Putty'.
Good stuff none the less.

It's pretty funny. I'm a big Carlin fan myself.
But now, as it's been about a day since I've wondered something, I raise another quirky topic to the coffee table (right beside the coffee table magazines and the plate of danish).
Topic at hand: Mouto Gai (and subsequently, Hatake Kakashi)
Ahh, two of Konoha's most decorrated Jounins of the 4th's and return of the 3rd's reign over Konoha. These two shinobi have very distinct (and quite opposite) fighting and shinobi styles and ways.
My question is how did the energetic and youth loving Gai find his ways? When did he realize that the springtime of youth waits for no one, that the added rule will create a stronger and wiser ninja, and that you can become a genious simply through unyeilding hard work?
...and where did he get that awful jumpsuit? I mean, God...ewww...
Rather than answer this one, I leave it to you, the reader, to solve and answer these perplexing questions (cuz some people need to get themselves an ice cream sandwich. Kiel needs to get himself an ice cream sandwich)
Go forth and discover!

Yeah...hes quite often talking about the springtime of youth...I mean...when you get older you realise that as a person too...I mean as you get older you get less active...and yeah..I can see where he is coming from

I think he's going through mid-life crisis and so he's trying to become young again. And..that he's trying to live out his youth again through Lee

...He's like...only in his early thirties...a midlife crisis?
Did he like, get freaked out about getting old in his 20s?!
Weird...

First off, back off KT, Kiel's mine
Now then, to the topic, Gai's been having this mid life crisis for a while, i think it was more like
"holy crap, noone seems to live beyond thirty in this place, vi mean we have little kids trained to be assassins, i can't die yet, gotta stay young, gotta stay young, gotta stay young *rocking in corner* gotta stay young"
obviously Kakashi gave Gai the jumpsuit as a gag gift, saying it'll help keep him young
Kakashi never did tell him it was a joke

KIEL IS MIIIINE RAF!!
lol I like the idea as the gag gift.
But I think Gai wears it to try and how off how "youthful" his body is...which it is not XP but oh well..he doens't need to know that
