They don't have cars or any automated mode of transportation past the Industrial Age, but they have wireless communication? Hello, Navi,... er... Kitty... er Moto!

they used them on there first misson. besides they have Tv's vid cams and tape players. in the movie there are cars. Maybe they are just wise in keeping moter vihicals at a minimum due to the massive roads that would need to be built and the fuil and its effects on the enviroment. besides they dont traval that far because of the constant waring between countries

Naruto is very, very inconsistent in it's technology level. They have computers, video cameras, EKG machines, tv, wireless communication... but no cars nor guns. I suppose we just have to accept that not all of the advances we made in our world were made in Naruto-verse, while many were. *shrugs*

It's not exactly rare for "like Earth but not quite"-universe stories to do that...Escaflowne, Suikoden, most of the Final Fantasies, Zelda, Rayearth, various Gundam series, Miyazaki stuff, lots of them mix-and-match what they like from different eras and cultures.

The way I look at it, Naruto has wireless communication and no cars. It also has chakra, giant chain-smoking frogs and people with mouths in their hands. It's a different world with different rules. ^^;

Oh, I'm not complaining. I'm just saying, yeah, I noticed that. It is common in anime and video games. Just like it's common to have a perfectly modern setting, and a hero armed with a sword for no discernible purpose. It doesn't bug me. It's just something you have to accept.

It's not the real world.

As such things go, Naruto isn't nearly as bad as--like you said--some of the Gundam series or Final Fantasy or or or. I mean, who needs cars when you have airships. And chocobos. XD

I always thought the purpose was that swords look more badass. And, ya know, they're phallic. :P

And chocobos.

Deidara loves his.

I'm just waiting for Sasori to whip out a Moogle doll, a la Lulu.

It's a brutal attack chocobo; you can see it straining to get in there and fight!

I think there is some kind of car/other transaportation things, but we wouldn't get to see any of them anyway since all the main charas need to be stealthy and sneaky, to come rolling with a range rover KINDA BLOWS YOUR COVER ♥

Naruto: I'LL BEAT YOU TO A PULP!!!
Sasori: Kupo!!
Naruto: Nani?
Sasori: Kupo kupo!
Naruto: WTF?
Sasori: MOOGLE PUPPET LOVE NO JUTSU!!!
Naruto: GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!

Owch. Cuteness is a terrifying weapon. XD

[raineyz.livejournal.com]

KWEH! KWEH KWEH!

Not to mention them ninjas can fly through trees faster than any car. It must be great not to get caught in traffic jams...

If my predictions are true Sasori will have a tank body, as illustrated by this fabulous image:

According to my brother, that fugly guy with dreadlocks isn't Sasori! Sasori is actually sitting inside a hugeass machine!

But how could Granny recognise him as her grandson, then? That shoots large bulletholes in that theory. :/

[jasiri.livejournal.com]

Haha. Good point.

your icon reminds me of a song

i'm a cucumber
i'm a cucumber
i'm a cucumber

PLEASE DON'T SEND ME TO THE PICKLE FARM!!

I thought Naruto was modern aged, but an AU. There is a time period?!

[konohamaru-kun.livejournal.com]

It's Feudal..but that's all I know

[kookie315.livejournal.com]

When I first saw the show, I thought it was supposed to be old, too. But everything is so modern that it doesn't make sense. There are TVs and movies and ORANGE JUMPSUITS and almost everything but cars.

[hentai-satsuki.livejournal.com]

Well, if there were cars and trains, they would have to have roads and tracks built, right?

..And wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of a hidden village, if one could just follow the road to it?

[rasenth.livejournal.com]

Kishimoto explained why there weren't any weapons. It was because it would ruin the whole ninja weapons thing, like shuriken and kunai, and the bunch. And it would too. XD Just imagine what the Akatsuki could do with a bunch of nukes... o____0.............
