Who was Kushina Uzumaki?
Kushina was born into famous Uzumaki clan of Uzushiokagure. At a young age
she was sent to Konoha and enrolled in the Academy. To make a strong first
impression, she proclaimed in her class that she would be the first female
Hokage.
The other kids used to laugh at her and call her "Tomato" because of her
then-round face and fiery red hair which used to made her lash out on kids.
This, in addition to her red hair flying wildly around her as she did so,
earned her the nickname of "Red-Hot Habanero."
Kushina at first didn't use to like Minato because she though he was the
same as others but when she learned that Minato thought highly of her and
believed in her dream, she was overwhelmed. She fell in love with him when
he complemented her red hair. She used to dislike her red hair but after
this incident she considered her red hair as the "red thread of fate" that
had brought them together.
At some point she married Minato. She was later present to witness her
husband's reign as Fourth Hokage, being very excited for him when first
learning of it. She was then pregnant with Naruto. Moments after giving
birth to Naruto, She was taken by Tobi to unleash the Nine-Tails to destroy
Konoha. In order to protect the village, being the Fourth-Hokage he decided
to seal the bad part of the Kurama's chakra (Yin Half) in himself and the
other half of in Naruto but when he was about to do it, Kurama realized it
and tried to attack Naruto. To save Naruto, Kushina and Minato used their
bodies as a shield. Just few moments before dying Kushina told then-baby
Naruto how much she loved him and gave her the best advice for the future.
Given below are the ten advices/teachings that Kushina gave to
Naruto.
Teachings that Kushina taught Naruto before dying
1.
Don't be a picky eater just eat a lot so you grow up big and strong.
Well it seems that Naruto didn't turn out to be much of a picky eater as he
even drank the insect soup when in mount Myoboku and to be honest it did
seek pretty terrible for a human. He surely developed a taste for itchi raku
ramen, his favorite all time food.
2. Make sure you bathe everyday and you stay warm too.
NO doubt about this one.
3. Don't stay up too late make sure you get plenty of sleep.
Naruto kind of did the opposite but for his good only. Like he did used to
take the required amount of sleep but at times when he used to train hard to
hone a Justsu or master an ability, he stayed up all night. After all he was
a hard working shinobi and wanted to be Hokage someday.
4.
Don't forget to make friends as well. You don't need a ton of them okay.
Just a few is fine as long as they are the ones you can really trust.
We all know that Naruto is a kind of person who makes you believe in him
and walk by his side and trust him. Although it took him some time but he
surely did made a lot of friends. Sasuke and Sakura were the closest of all. But I think
5. Make sure you study hard and learn your ninjutsu.
In the academy Naruto was a little behind everyone but he sure did catch up
with everyone with his hard work. He worked so hard that he eventually
surpassed all the shinobis. He didn't know how the Justsu used to work but
he sure did know how to make it.
6.
Always remember everyone is good at somethings and not so good at others
so even if something doesn't go well, don't get depressed.
Well Naruto does get upset too early when he gets to know that he isn't
good at something but he sure does give his best to become good at it. Hell
yeah, even master it. His ninja way is to "Never give up and not to go back
on his words."
7.
When you are at the academy respect your teachers and the upper class
men.
In his early childhood he did use to do a lot of pranks but it was all to
get the attention of everyone but as we all know he did respect his teachers
a lot. Be it Iruka, Kakashi, or Jiraiya.
8. Regarding the three prohibitions of shinobi
-Be extra careful about borrowing and lending money. Take your pay and put
in a savings account.
-NO alcohol! not until you are have aged. Too much Sake is bad for you
so practice moderation
-Another prohibition is women. Remember, I am one so I don't know
much about it but keep in mind that this world is made up of men and women
so at some point you will notice girls and that's normal.
Just be careful and don't fall for the bad ones and just go out and find
someone who is like me.
9.
Speaking of the three prohibitions be wary of Jiraya sensei you know.
Since Jiraya broke all the three prohibitions of shinobi, Kushina warned
Naruto to be cautious of the Jiraya sensei as a joke supposedly. We all know
that he used to drink a lot of sake (alcohol) and was a womanizer. We all
know that why Naruto used to call him Pervy sage because of his pervert
nature of watching women during hot spring baths which he used to justify by
saying that he is working on a project.
10. Naruto I am sorry to say there will be plenty of hardships and
painful times ahead just be true to yourself and
make sure to have dreams and the
confidence to make those dreams come true.
Naruto learned a lot from his mother but above all he got his will of fire
and never give up attitude from her and also her constant habit of talking a
lot and saying Ya Know. She would have been a really good mother but for the
Nine-Tail incident. Whatsoever, she used her chakra, sealed inside Naruto,
to meet the grown up Naruto at least once and
help him to tame Kurama.
Even though Naruto grew up without his parents as an orphan he turned out
to be a really great shinobi and also obeyed her mother's will. Every
teaching of Kushina is embedded in Naruto so deeply therefore it's only
right to say that Naruto turned out to be a good son. Even Minato and
Kushina acknowledged it upon meeting Naruto.
