Did you see Gai taking Lee out for a drink? Konoha is definitly not in Japan...
I would guess that Naruto is almost there when it comes the legal age considering that...
Sorry to go off topic, but just a quick question, since we're talking about limits...what's the age limit for calling a guy -kun?


Sasuke actually does rely on somebody else's power(cursed seal), Orochimaru's. He doesn't realize that he needs to work hard and train to become strong, instead he seeks shortcuts.
You have an excelent point, there, X. Sasuke, really doesn't get that and not even what being a ninja is about. Naruto worked really hard to tame the Kyuubi. Going deep down and facing him wasn't exactly an easy task, not to mention spending the day on Gama-bunta's back. He does deserve *all* the Kyuubi chacra he got.
