Narutois one of the most celebrated Shonen series that continues to impact viewers worldwide. From its compelling storyline to profound themes, the series continues to stay relevant. This holds especially true with the iconic talk-talk jutsu that changed the course of the series. Be it Obito or Gaara, the hero managed to soften several arch villains through his empathetic talk.
The iconic jutsu has been at the epicenter of criticism and mockery by fans. However, it doesn’t take away the profound meaning and true symbolism behind it. In a twisted case, several fans projected the criticism towardsSSS-Class Gacha Hunter. This is regarding the underutilization of the level 3 communication technique by the hero.

Narutotugs at the viewers and readers’ heartstrings through its depiction of pain and loneliness. Written by Masashi Kishimoto, the magnum opus excels in portraying the depth and complexity of characters. This is especially true with the titular protagonist and his need for acknowledgment. This ties well with the storyline and is further reflected in themangaka’s personalityas well.
Apart from being a cult popular series, Kishimoto’s magnum opus has its fair share of drawbacks. One of these is thetoxic fanbasenotorious for its foul-mouthing and blatant criticism. While fandoms tend to be malicious with their comments and retorts,Narutotakes the cake with its notoriety. This also extends to several series beyond the genre like Manhwas.

In a twisted case, several Naruto fans bashedSSS-class gacha hunter’sprotagonist onr/manhwa. This was in context for the hero being a stupid MC for underutilizing his powers. In addition to that, several comparisons were made between level 3 communication and talk-no jutsu.
While Jin Jeongdo underutilized his skills, he is far from the stereotype of the stupid MC. Besides that, both talk-no-jutsu and level-3 communication differ from each other in more ways than one.
Talk-no-jutsu and Level-3 communication are contrasting powers
Despite itsprofound symbolism and meaning, the talk-no-jutsu is often lost in translation. It has been reduced to a butt of jokes by the whole fanbase throughout the decades. While it is critiqued for its redundancy, the jutsu wrings out pain and complex emotions, which holds especially true with the case of Gaara and Obito who had a change of heart in the series.
As opposed to Talk-No-Jutsu, level-3 communication allows one to communicate with different creatures. The ability is similar to a polyglot but extends the binary of human communication. On the other hand, the Talk-no Jutsu stems from Naruto’sneed to be acknowledgedin contrast to Jin’s intrinsic goals.
