The Inheritors of The Will of Fire- Naruto Shippuuden Movie 3


The Inheritors of The Will of Fire connotes the never give up attitude within oneself. Naruto, once again defying all odds, tried to save Kakashi from being assimilated with Hiruko. The dilemma h/ever was that, Kakashi was willing to sacrifice himself to protect others.

Those that break the rule are considered a scum. But, those who leave their comrades in order not to break the rules are worse. My opinion… depends on what rule are you talking about. We must differentiate between principle rules and subsidiaries. In certain circumstances, we may break the subsidiary rules. Example of the situation is when choosing a lesser of the two evils.


What was portrayed in the movie is a good example of this. Kakashi and the others believe that by sacrificing one’s live (Kakashi’s), others’ live may be protected. H/ever, Naruto saw beyond this. He didn’t want the future generation to know that their predecessors allowed sacrifice to be made in order to save their lives. Why not save the others without making any sacrifice or at least have a try at it.


What Naruto wanted was that the Will of Fire will continually be instilled inside the future generations so that they will live with dignity and die with honor. Never give up finding a better solution towards our problems. There’s always a better solution. The Will of Fire could be felt burning inside while watching this movie. Masashi Kishimoto had never failed to inspire through his artworks. For me, this movie is the best of Naruto franchise so far.
