Hey friends! Naruto has entertained us for many years and even though the show stopped airing in January this year, it has retained a special place in the hearts of millions of fans. When the show was on air, I often wondered what culture and society Naruto belonged to. I mean, we all knew that he was a Japanese ninja warrior, but beyond that we knew very little about the place he came from. So I decided to learn more about the society to which Naruto belonged and as I have gained some knowledge, I am here to share the same with you.

Naruto belongs to a world which is similar to our own world in many ways but at the same time is also quite different from it. His world, like ours, is divided into countries that function as independent political units. The five most dominant countries, which along with some other smaller unexplored countries form Naruto’s world, are the Land of Earth, the Land of Fire, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Water, and the Land of Wind. These five countries are also known as the “Five Great Shinobi Nations” and each country is ruled by a feudal lord.

In the world of Naruto, the countries are further divided into hidden villages which are managed by leaders who are given the title of Kage. The leaders of the hidden villages are treated at par with the leaders of the particular country. The villages are populated by ninjas, who are warriors and posses supernatural abilities that they can make use of during a conflict. These villages earn revenue for their country by imparting training to young ninjas, who then carry out various assignments for other countries. These ninjas also serve as their country’s defense forces.

So, this is basically how Naruto’s world is organized. Don’t you find many similarities with our very own world?
