Lone 16 Posted January 27, 2021 For me the most iconic arc is the Zabuza and haku one. It's the arc which made me fall in love with naruto. It's extremely well written and I never thought I will ever feel sad about the death of an enemy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gogo 81 Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) One of my favorite moments in OG Naruto is when Iruka Sensei verbally recognized Naruto as a ninja of the Hidden Leaf. This moment always gives me gousebumpbs. Fun fact: Iruka gave Naruto his personal headband, that is why he appears with a naked forehead in the end.

tengohambre 6 Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) The teams first fight vs the Demon Brothers. The build up and pace was everything Naruto series should've been from start to finish. If this fight had been in the later episodes, there would've been one emotional backstory, two inner dialogues and 3 talk no jutsus. It's actually one of the better scenes in the whole anime to me. And I love this in depth video about them which further emphasises why I like it so much: Spoiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cqxvK7AFow Edited May 22, 2021 by muscularfun - 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
