Nindō

A nindo is a "Ninja Way," a rule for the particular Shinobi to live by. It is their way of ninja life, their motto. It can also be taken as a dream. A ninja's nindo can be anything no matter how immoral their personal point of view is. Most often Naruto Uzumaki proclaims his nindo, his ninja way to be: "I never go back on my word, that is my nindo! My ninja way!"

This is verry important in the Naruto storyline. Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!

The scene is now at a ramen stand called Ichiraku Ramen where Naruto eating his ramen voraciously while Iruka asks him why he put graffiti all over the monument. He says that the Hokage are very important and Naruto reassures Iruka that he knows how great they are. He polishes of his ramen bowl and explains that Hokage are the number one ninjas in the village. He then recalls an image of the monument of the Fourth Hokage and how he saved the village from the Nine Tailed Fox. Iruka asks why he did it if he knows and Naruto replies that he will be better than all of them. He will be the greatest Hokage and earn the respect of all those around him.
