the time period is really up for debate. the lifestyle and architecture of the villagers doesnt seem all that advanced but then they surprise us with electronic name displays, cameras, tvs, vcrs, etc.

It seems that they have certain advances and certain unadvances... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif Anyhow, like how they had videocamera's in the tower where the prelims took place and video tapes and vcrs. Also when they were going over to that one Island to help Tazuna build the bridge their boat had a motor on it. I don't really see how there's an explanation for this. Maybe there's no need for guns or tanks because a jutsu would b just as effective? http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif

Yeah its weird. I figure that they are on the same tech level as us except in weaponry.
Who knows? Maybe there was some great war in the past and they came up with a rule. No weapons except that of ninja.

Yea, because Naruto got his spoiled milk out of a refrigerator http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif

I agree with the above post. It seems like they got rid of most weapons and live the way of the ninja.

With stuff like Chakra, who would want to go total technologicall. They are pretty modern, hold the traditional japanese archetecture (sorta) and add Ninja stuff. Sounds like an ideal world to me.

its an alternate reality, we cant really compare it to our timelines.

I bet Rock Lee can dodge bullets.
Choji can absorb it with his fatness.
Naruto will heal afterwards.
kakashi will catch it.
Gai sensei will block it with his teeth.
Orochimaru will use long neck no jutsu to dodge the bullet.
Shino will send a bug as a shield and deflect it.
Ino can DIE.

The author revealed that the world of Naruto is supposed to be roughly a contemporary of ours - but there are no firearms - and almost no vehicles with engines... makes for an interesting setting, but it makes you wonder how they run their generators.

they run their generators exactly like we do
i read somewhere that the author wanted the anime ot be in thesame timeline as ours, the same world and everything, except that firearms didnt exsist.. he has a point.. what good is a ninja if u can have all these weapons and stuff?

Hmm well a chakra loaded bullet could do enough damage.... or a tank shell.

Comparing the real world to the anime world is always bad but... think about our world if we had ninja powers like in Naruto, if ninjas were that effective who would put the time into improving/creating things like firearms.

I don&#39;t see the point of it. Bullets and shells are destructive enough.

lol what a question... There are 100 things that arent up to date. their time isnt like out. In some episode, they have real toilets... I mean, its like star wars..

was it really stated that there are no guns? i mean, ok, we havnt seen any, but they fired some new-years-rockets b4 the final examn, so they have the knowledge of gunpowder at least... but on the other hand in china they had those too in ancient times, but no guns o.O

Perfect example to compare to is Vampire Hunter D. Vampires, Demons, all sorts of fun stuff from the &#39;old times&#39; but yet weapons like crossbows and swords are still used. Along with guns and such, but it&#39;s just a fictional creation designed to give a conglomeration of many different aspects to please the viewer. Watching somebody blow away 30 vamps with a big gun is pretty damn fun. But seeing a normal civilian in Naruto pull out an Uzi and drop 10 Jounins or something...That&#39;s just stupid. ...Right?

Kishimoto left out the fire arms and cars on purpose. What is fun about a ninja anime if suddenly a guy with a gun comes and shoots everyone or a car to ride everywhere. If a country had those two combined, they wouldn&#39;t need a Ninja village.

if you read the manga pilot episode, you&#39;ll see guys with guns....i dont think the series would be as cool if normal people can walk around and actually have some sort of power behind them without the rigorous ninja training

you guys have to remember that this isnt historical by any means, this is based in a fictional world so they can have or not have whatever they want to http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

so like the as for the question about cigerettes they came out along time before guns they where maid by the french who originally roled there own and would literally smoke anything that would burn. it was done originally to keep them warm

i can understand kishimotos wish not to include guns in the series like every one else has said what good would a ninja be if he could be shot 50 times before he could even move

and as far as cars go i wouldnt be suprised if we did see some later on all broken down and ratty like if naruto was post war and they decided to get rid of any thing of violence or mass transportation

It just another dimension ... with no advanced weaponry it seems. Everything doesn&#39;t have to go according to our time line&#39;s.
