→Naruto's Clothing Style
Line 177:
** Technically the stereotypcial "black ninja gear" sprung from Japanese portrayals of ninja in theatre. Ninja usually just wore normal clothing, which was what made them so terrifying - unlike the obvious samurai, the ninja could be ANYONE. So naturally, whenever Japanese plays portrayed ninjas... they dressed like the stagehands. Now, you'll notice that just about everyone dresses garishly in Naruto-land. So they're blending in just fine! ...and they can always stealth it up with, like, magic, I guess.
*** Actually ninjas did wear black, on night related missions, but they also wore whatever color or color pattern blended more with their environment, black got more popularize by the media because after all, black is cool, but imagine being on a snow field or a sandy field or in plain daylight wearing black, black is not an all time cover color, I'm looking at you Kankuro of the "sand" village (at least his puppets have the correct color).
**** Black isn't even the best color to wear on night missions; unless you are in ''total'' pitch darkness, can't-see-your-hand-in-front-of-your-own-face darkness, it still contrasts too much with even a dimly lit background. If you can't get an actual camouflage pattern, the best color to wear for night work is dark blue.
** Naruto's main techniques consist of creating multiple copies of himself (bad for stealth), making a bright swriling energy ball (very bad for stealth), and summoning a toad the size of a mountain (the exact opposite of stealth). I think it's safe to say he's abandoned the idea entirely.
** Also, orangutans are orange as well, and they are actually pretty well camouflaged in jungle terrain. And [[Fridge Brilliance|where]] is the village hidden in the leaves again?
