    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... 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?

    Yea, because Naruto got his spoiled milk out of a refrigerator

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

    anko and ppl watched gaara, tenten, and puppet guy on a tv. and they got the tape from a security camera(something like that) wierd

    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?

    and spells

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

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

    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

    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
