Naruto Takes Over Google With Adorable Shadow Clone Surprise

Google is currently being dominated by an exciting new Easter Egg tied to Naruto Uzumaki’s Shadow Clone Jutsu, celebrating the growth and longevity of the Naruto franchise which recently marked its 20th anniversary from the anime’s debut. Though Masashi Kishimoto concluded the original Naruto storyline some time back, the franchise has since expanded exponentially with sequels, films, and additional content. Now, the immense popularity of Naruto has led Google to pay tribute to the series in a charming manner.

Over time, Google has incorporated various amusing Easter Eggs for numerous franchises, historical figures, and more, and now the fun extends to Naruto. By typing “Naruto” into Google, a small Hidden Leaf Village logo appears at the bottom. Clicking on this logo triggers Naruto’s numerous Shadow Clones to dash across the screen and cause the page to tremble. This is a delightful nod to the iconic ninja series, and you can witness a demonstration of this shared by Naruto‘s English language licensor, Viz Media.

Why Is Naruto’s Shadow Clone Jutsu So Special?

The Shadow Clone Jutsu performed by Naruto remains as legendary as the ninja himself, having been a staple since its debut in the Naruto series. What sets it apart is that it was the first technique Naruto Uzumaki rapidly mastered, and it proved instrumental when he faced adversaries stronger than him at any point. Not only did this jutsu provide an entertaining spectacle, but it also offered a poignant insight into Naruto’s life. As lonely as he was for years, the mere duplicates of himself that could aid him were his only sources of support.

Besides providing exciting battle scenes where Naruto’s numerous clones were creatively employed, they also played a crucial role in saving the day during pivotal moments throughout the show. Although he would eventually become famous for his Rasengan technique and its devastating force, it was Naruto’s ability to deploy an army of clones against any foe at will that truly endeared him to fans. This tactic wasn’t common among Shonen Jump series during that period.
