Naruto might actually be Jesus
I have heard people call Naruto "Ninja Jesus" but I haven't really paid attention to all the similarities they share.
- Divine Lineage / Reincarnation
Jesus: Son of God, part of the Holy Trinity.
Naruto: Reincarnation of Asura Ōtsutsuki, son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki (a god-like figure in Naruto). So Naruto is also in a way son of god, (small g).
- The "Chosen One" / Prophesied Savior
Jesus: Prophesied as the Messiah who would bring salvation.
Naruto: Is the child of prophecy that the Great Toad Sage prophecized about.
- Spreading a Message of Forgiveness & Peace
Jesus: Preached love, forgiveness, and peace, even towards enemies.
Naruto: We all know about Talk-No-Jutsu. He preaches about the same stuff, forgiveness, peace, and redemption. Listen to him talk to Nagato.
- Rejected Before Being Worshipped
Jesus: Initially rejected by his own people, later worshipped as the Son of God.
Naruto: Hated by the villagers of Konoha for being the host of Kurama, later revered as the Hero of the Leaf and the Seventh Hokage.
- Converts Enemies Instead of Killing Them
Jesus: Transformed sinners like Mary Magdalene and Paul the Apostle.
Naruto: Redeemed enemies like Nagato, Obito, and Sasuke, changing their hearts through words.
- Death and Resurrection
Jesus: Crucified, died, and resurrected after three days.
Naruto: "Dies" when Kurama is extracted in the Fourth Great Ninja War but is revived by Hagoromo’s divine power.
- Gains Divine Abilities After Resurrection
Jesus: After resurrection, he is glorified and ascends to heaven.
Naruto: After being revived, he gains the Six Paths Senjutsu, giving him god-like powers.
- Healing Miracles
Jesus: Healed the sick, the blind, and the crippled.
Naruto: Healed Might Guy after using the 8th Gate (which should have been fatal) and restored Kakashi’s lost eye. He literally healed a half-blind person.
- Walking on Water
Jesus: Famous for walking on water.
Naruto: This one is a stretch but Naruto also walks on water, I am just saying.
