A Society Dedicated to Making Kids Strong

Enter : Naruto Uzumaki

I just finished watching the first episode of Naruto.
It is utterly fantastic.

The ending always deeply moves me.
The remarkable bond between teacher and student.
Such a powerful, giving relationship.

I find myself irrevocably filled with a sense of longing for having had that kind of relationship with teachers during my own childhood.

Now that I am an adult, it's up to me to make sure the next young generation does experience this kind of vital relationship in the growth of a human being.

The Ninja Way

A society dedicated to making its young people strong.

I can never get enough of glimpsing the Naruto universe because of this all-pervasive theme.

My own childhood was a wash of meaninglessness, raising me to be a useless adult drone in a brain-dead and emotionally-void societal system.

Having seen another way, a so much better way, I cannot do aught with my life, but make this vision a reality.

For the young generation of today.
For the young me who never had this chance.
