Friendly reminder.....his method just made it all the more famous.....so he may have not invented it but he sure as hell made it original and well used and liked again.....Naruto's himself's variants are just a lot more deadly though

- Take any long run periodical publication, music band or company (Naruto, Simpsons, South Park, Crayon Shin Chan, Nintendo, etc.) - Attract fans younger than the publication itself. - Wait a bit until each other get the wrong idea everything was invented or innovated by their blind fanaticism. - Once in their high horse, made them realize how wrong they were all along. - Embrace for rude idiom, rage or stupid excuses for something they should be blaming themselves. - Profit.
