My favorite story arc, or just one of my favorite as there are many good ones is FINDING SASUKE, basically the transition from Naruto build up to Naruto Shippuden. The whole basis of this excitement is folded into from the establish bond between Naruto and Sasuke, how they were on the opposite spectrum and yet were competitors and finally teammates learning to be buddies for life. This part of finding sasuke leeches on other controversies, including being superior and egoistic yet well trained to be discipline and proper Sasuke flexing on Naruto and challenging him yet without bad meaning but simply through having founded and learned that the meaning of life isn't so simple.

Both unable to tear their selves apart from their fates which has written for them out of love and hatred from previous generations. In Naruto case, his path to Hokage as one who has to lived through being the worst and lousiest on his own, and in Sasuke case, as one with a lot of hate for the world and his brother's choices. Forced to believe that the brother he look up to is actually a traitor of the worst kind. The deep philosophy of Itachi's hate for the clan's selfishness over the village as one, sewed into Sasuke as hatred for a brother who betray his family and clan extended (Also in other words the Uchiha's pride which relates partly to their pride over their bloodline limit.)

While Naruto and Sasuke built bonds and learned to work as one team, exchanging insights and smarts in their own unique ways, and Sakura having her own set of issues falling behind and chasing the ever ongoing pursuit for being the best ninja among two persistent peers. They eventually found that the minors of issue can have an effect on their teamwork, and time and again they were challenge to outdo one another both as rivals and teammates. To be the best of what you can is everyone undeniable path. And the best of the best must pit themselves even further than the rest.

Even so, the challenges of the Sannin involvement, their predecessors brought about greater involvement as themselves were seek out as the new talents of the next generation. The leaving of Sasuke after broking up with Naruto at the hospital roof, ignoring Kakashi's advice as he cannot see his mentor's wisdom at his stage. That losing everyone was not the end of everything but the change of a fresh start and a new beginning. Yet Sasuke held on to his bond with Itachi and to his family and clan and past. This part of Sasuke not forgetting where he came from also inspired me of not losing sight of my loses I had experienced. Thus we all learn and grow onwards.

Eventually the saving of Sasuke by his own new generation Ninjas effort and Sasuke's own persistence on choosing his own path forward shape out a story like no other. And it became a central theme of Naruto: trying to establish his first and most intimate bond, with his friend Sasuke and saving him from his own loneliness. While Sasuke also trying to hold on to his own bond with Itachi in his own way. Everyone did something for the other, even if they didn't know they were really doing so. Everyone having their own reasons to walk their own path of the Ninja, all the same yet so different a route they had to walk and in the end the discoveries they come to share. So for me finding Sasuke was a defining moment of intense for Naruto and Sakura and everyone's persistence in walking in their own chosen path, IN THE WAY OF TEH NINJA !!
