In the universe of ‘naruto‘, ninja life is a school of challenges, secrets and extraordinary skills. Although the Ninja Academy is the birthplace of learning, not all tricks are taught in regular classes.
The first episode of the classic ‘Naruto’ throws us headlong into this whirlwind by showing that the protagonist, Naruto Uzumakiis already ahead of the class by stealing a secret scroll and mastering a forbidden jutsu.
How can Naruto use forbidden jutsu without consequences?

From the beginning, Naruto faces difficulties in his educational journey, especially when faced with the challenge of performing a jutsu that creates clones.
His colleagues succeed, but Naruto is unable to perform the technique, running the risk of failing.
At that time, Mizukian enigmatic character, enters the scene and manipulates Naruto into stealing a scroll that reveals secret jutsus.
The highlight of this episode is Naruto’s quick learning of the Multiclone Shadow Jutsu, a forbidden move.
Surprisingly, this jutsu becomes the key to defeating Mizuki and saving his sensei, Iruka. The Third Hokage, understanding the context, avoids punishing Naruto, recognizing that the boy used the jutsu for good.
However, it is worth mentioning that Multiple Shadow Clones is prohibited for important reasons.
In a world where chakra is the life force, the technique is considered harmful, especially to ninjas with a limited chakra reserve, who could die from exhaustion when using it.
However, Naruto, with his almost infinite reserves, bypasses this obstacle.
The confusion between Shadow Clone and Multiple Shadow Clones is clarified. While the first is a common skill, the second, mastered by Naruto, is the true forbidden jutsu.
The word ‘forbidden’ in the ninja universe not only denotes something against morals, but also warns of harmful side effects or excessive power.
The case of Multiple Shadow Clones falls into the latter category. Naruto, exceptionally gifted with chakra, can use it without major consequences, but for an ordinary user, it would be lethal.
The ninja world, full of deadly techniques and hidden secrets, demands a balance between power and responsibility.
The prohibition of techniques in the Naruto universe goes beyond morality. Impure Reincarnation, for example, is condemned for allowing a ninja to use a deceased person against his will.
Others, like those of Deidara and Pain, are considered dangerous due to the destruction they can cause.
Multiple Shadow Clones, although a powerful tool, stands out for its potential harm to the common user.
Analysis reveals that ninjas who use this technique must be skilled jutsu masters or have an exceptional reserve of chakra, defying the boundaries of what is considered forbidden.
Thus, the anime ‘Naruto’ leads us to question not only the rules of the ninja world, but also the ethical complexity behind forbidden techniques.
The forbidden can represent a fine line between salvation and perdition, and Naruto Uzumaki, from the first episode, teaches us that defying these barriers can be the key to success.
