Revision as of 21:08, 9 March 2015

Throughout the Naruto world, there have been many instances of modern-day technology being used by shinobi or ordinary people.

Battery

Batteries

Batteries used to power up the transmission devices.

A battery is one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. It is used in transmission devices, such as televisions. However, their time limit is short when used to communicate with all five nations' daimyō all over the world. They are also used to power the Chakra Transmission Communication Device at headquarters and the mobile versions. These larger ones seem to have a longer life span.[1] The kanji on the containers means "electricity" (, den).

Camera

Camcorder

A camera used to broadcast the daimyō of the Land of Fire image to the other daimyō.

By capturing light onto a light-sensitive surface, a camera can either produce a still photograph or create and capture a series of images and sound to create a video. Konohagakure shinobi are required to take a photograph to use in their ninja identification card following their academy graduation.[2] An alternate and more complex video camera was used to record the daimyō's meeting to form the Allied Shinobi Forces, though this version had several wires connecting it to the televisions and featured a much larger lens.[1]

Computer

Computer

Computers monitoring Chōji Akimichi's vital signs during his operation.

A computer is a machine that is programmed to carry out a user's set operations. Most computers are equipped with memory for data and program storage. Several laptops, or mobile computers, were seen in the operating room of Chōji Akimichi after his fight with Jirōbō to monitor his vital signs.[3] A desktop computer was also seen in the Konoha Cryptanalysis Team's office.[4] Many of the computer's occurrences throughout the series were present to facilitate an injured person's recovery.[3][5][6] After he became Hokage, Naruto was seen using a laptop in his office, comparable to the ones we have in the real world.[7]

Television

Tv

Television screens used between the daimyō for long-distance conversation.

A television is a broadcasting device that transmits visual images of stationary or moving objects by satellite. A television was first seen in the series during the Chūnin Exams, when Anko Mitarashi monitored the Sand Siblings' progress.[8] A television could also be seen in the room of Sasuke Uchiha.[9] Later in Part II, Five large screen televisions were used to connect all of the daimyō together in order for them to concur on the formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces. The televisions run on batteries, but cannot be sustained for long periods of time over long-range connection.[1]

Satellite Dish

Satellite2

A satellite used to transmit signals of the daimyō's broadcasts.

A satellite dish is a device used to transmit data, such as still or moving images and sound, to other satellites. This data can then be viewed on a television. In the Naruto series, several satellites were used to connect the five daimyō for them to settle on the decision to deal with the growing threat of Akatsuki.[1]

Video Cassette Recorder

VCR

A Video Cassette Recorder as depicted in the series.

The video cassette recorder, or VCR, is a device that is used to play recorded audio and video from a VHS tape. These videotapes contain magnetic tape for recording audio and video from security cameras or even television broadcasts so that the images and sound can be played back at a more convenient time. This was used in the series to play a recorded tape from a security camera showing Anko Mitarashi the progress of the Sand Siblings during the second stage of the Chūnin Exams.[10]

Video Tape

Video Tape

A video tape is a device that allows magnetic storage and recording on thin layers of magnetised plastic in order to play pre-recorded audio and video. The only known type of video tape used in the series is a VHS tape. The tape was used to show Anko Mitarashi the progress of the Sand Siblings during the second stage of the Chūnin Exams.[10]

Wireless Radio

Wireless Radio

A radio transmits signals by sending electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible light. They can then be received by other radios in the form of sound or a wide array of signals in order to make sure important information is protected. They were first used in the series during Team 7's mission to capture Madam Shijimi's cat Tora.[11]

Trivia

  • When commenting on Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto said that he designed Konohagakure without specifying an era or location in the real world, noting that the village is "just a place in his head". Without a specific time period, Kishimoto included modern elements in the series such as convenience stores and movies, but specifically excluded projectile weapons and vehicles from the storyline. Regarding technology itself, Kishimoto said that "Naruto" would not have any firearms, yet one appeared behind a shopkeepers desk on a page in Chapter 19.
