Naruto sucks. Too many commercials, 5 minutes of flashback from the last episode into each new episode, and then the last 5 minutes talk about what's going to happen on the next episode, then in the middle of the episode there's like 2 or 3 minutes of flashbacks from much older episodes.
On a more serious note, however, remember, cartoons aren't generally based on real life physics, and as such, generally don't base themselves on real metaphysics. It's like Dragonball Z. If you could summon that kind of energy and all you did with it was attack or show off, you'd be immensely wasting your time, talent, and the energy itself, and that would be inexcusable. Plus some moron would probably blow the planet up because they were feeling emo that day.
If you want to know about the hand seals, stick to one of the ninja books on the market like Art of the Ninja. It won't teach you how to fly or do grand displays of special effects, however. And if you want a real system of comprehensive magical training try out something like Initiation Into Hermetics - but be warned, it's about balance, completion, the total path, and it requires patience and getting to "know thyself", which seems to be scary for some people.
You can probably honestly find what you need via Google, but don't be too shocked if it's not everything you thought it would be. Life is still amazing and awesome and has much to behold, but sometimes you have to learn to let go of your view of the world to notice. |
