Also. Ever thought about Genius nin-babies. Like...Sasuke as a baby...Sneezing for example... (Katon: Gou) Achoo! Could be dangerous. These baby nin, breathing fire at the age of one. Or perhaps a baby sneeze that sounds like "no jutsu". A little Hinata, as a baby, sneezing, which can sound like A-tissue...or...No-jutsu!

Awww...wittle baby ninja!
but would they have enough chakra at that age? Maybe...
I feel bad for kids born into a shinobi village sometimes.
I mean, what other career paths do you have other than becoming a shinobi? Born into a life of war and toil...

Well, you could either become a shinobi, or take a job somewhere in the business that run the village. After all, where would a shinobi village be without those who make the clothing and equipment they use on the battlefield and other important missions? Then there's the food - an obvious necessity, duh. We also have the doctors and nurses in the hospitals, non-shinobi teachers (remember Chibi Sasuke attending school before entering the Academy?), messengers (professional gofer? I guess you could count that as a job....), etc. Konoha in particular also has a hot springs district (as seen when Jiraiya first enters), and those can't be run without people to run them. Then you have the people who keep the village itself running from literally falling apart - carpenters, craftsmen, metalsmiths, and I'm sure the residents of Hidden Leaf don't run to a foreign country every time a home appliance breaks.
It's just that becoming a shinobi is the most obvious choice, I suppose.

Yeah, that's true.
Say, what about ninja religion?
The newer manga chapters feature a Fire Country temple full of bald monk-type people...does that mean that Shinto is the religion of choice in the world of Naruto?
I've often thought about something...and it kinda makes me wonder.
Naruto doesn't seem much like a Shinto follower (much less a traditional ninja for that matter).
With his flashy clothes and gruff manner of speach (adding da~te~ba~yo, almost literally meaning 'don'tcha know', to nearly every sentence), and a variety of other foibles, he's certainly different.
That, and he seems to eat nothing but ramen.
...a diet of almost only carbohydrates...and he's an amazing force to be contended with...what with his gruff speech...and eating of pasta...
...my god...
...he is...the chosen one...
...he must be the chosen one of the coveted Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
It all makes sense now!
For those who have never heard of the Church of the FSM, please Google or Wikipedia it immediately for much amusement.
Remember that Evolution is only a theory! While it's true humans share 95% of their DNA with chimpanzees, they share 99.9% with pirates! YARRRRRRtebayo!

So, what else about this series makes us wonder?
Aside from the thing about whether or not Studio Perriot hates the world by making some of the filler episodes so horrible...even by bad Japanese anime standards.
Well...<Spoilers>
...nobody's wondering about chakra types and how kekkei genkai's work anymore, now that Kishimoto-sensei and his team have answered that...which is good...
...wow...feels like we have less and less to wonder about, now doesn't it...
Ooh, no, I was wrong.
Cuz there's always a bunch of random stuff worth wondering about...such as:
1) Do ninja enjoy pie? If so, is there a bakery in Konoha? Pie is tasty.
2)Is the Yondaime Naruto's father? I mean...um...
3) Who's the shadowy leader of the Akatsuki? Could he be someone we know? Or perhaps, an even more powerful foe? Like some kind of ninja L. Ron Hubbard? Now THAT'S scary.
4) So what has Sasuke been up to since his training with Orochimaru? Sure we got to see him again in the new manga...so what caused his dramatic fashion change? Is he now more in touch with how to dress stylishly? Does he know the difference between teal and fusha?
Sasuke...the Prince of Fashion!

lol...sohkahtoa.
My guess is that they do, like that test they had to take in the first part of the chuunin exam.
But...I suspect none of them are very good at it.

As for Ninja and pie...well...I'm thinking it's quite obvious they enjoy it.

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake...

I fake to bake a cake with what's at stake when I bake a cake that's fake...
...I shake, I ache, I take...to bake a cake that's not so fake.
But fake cake I make and thus they take...
...they take me promptly to the lake.
...to, y'know, be thrown in...on account of, like, my cake being so fake.
Ya dake?
Moving on, on thing that makes me wonder a lot...
At the convention that just passed, I got to meet some Naruto voice stars...
...most of the fans who weren't adult or in their late teens where little kids.
...little kids like Naruto...
...it kind of made me smile and reflect on the new western fandom of Naruto based solely on the english release.
We've all been fans from the very beginning when the series was first subtitled over the internet and the manga was translated online. We're the ones who have memorised the Japanese jutsu names and intricate cultural nuances that the Japanese Naruto offers.
And yet, now, we have people who've only just heard of Naruto. They're following the Shonen Jump manga releases madly, wondering if Naruto is actually gonna beat Gaara...and what will become of the fight between Orochimaru and the Sandaime *Ahem...the Third Hokage*.
They're the ones who're just watching Rock Lee fight Gaara in the Prelims...eagerly anticipating the results...
...I tried to mention about Sasuke's absense from the scene when he leaves Konoha...but they wouldn't hear of it...
wow...suddenly...I actually have to hold my tongue as not to spoil things to these youngsters and their following parents.
Wow...it just feels so weird...
It's like...suddenly Naruto means something else entirely to these people...and the thing I've come to know and love is completely foreign (well...technically it is ^^;; ).
It's an odd feeling...
...I wonder if diehard Pokemon fans felt the same way when the series was brought over...

I love this thread. I read it to people whenever I want comedy. Although thinking on all things at the moment. Theres really not much that makes me wonder at the moment.
