Who is Your Favorite Ninja Philosophy?

 This year, I've played many MMORPGs, but my favorite is Naruto Online due to its faithful adaptation of the Naruto anime. The game features many classic ninjas and their unique abilities. If an anime-based game doesn't respect the original material, there's really not much to enjoy.

In the Naruto anime, the term "ninja way" is frequently mentioned, and each character has their own unique philosophy. My favorites are Naruto, Shikamaru, and Jiraiya! Naruto's ninja way is passionate, Shikamaru's is calm and composed, while Jiraiya’s philosophy is profound.

Naruto's Ninja Way: "I won’t run away, and I’ll never go back on my word. That’s my ninja way! My way of the ninja!"

This is perhaps Naruto's most famous catchphrase. He has repeated it while learning to control chakra, during the chakra exams, and when searching for Tsunade. It’s a vibrant declaration that sounds easy but is incredibly challenging to uphold.

Jiraiya's Ninja Way: "A ninja can accept everything."

This is what Jiraiya said when he first encountered Orochimaru, who believed that ninjas should master all techniques. Their differing beliefs ultimately led them down separate paths. Personally, I resonate very much with Jiraiya’s perspective. I believe that a ninja should be able to accept and embrace everything!

Shikamaru's Ninja Way: "I just want to be a ninja, earn some money, marry an ordinary woman, have a couple of kids—one boy and one girl—retire when my daughter gets married and my son grows up, then spend my days playing shogi until I die. I want to pass away before my wife does. That's the life I want." Shikamaru’s philosophy represents a desire for a simple life, even as he finds himself at the center of attention. Clearly, his ninja way is about a laid-back lifestyle.
