How big is the Naruto world supposed to be?Characters seem to casually travel between "countries" in like a day, sometimes hours.
Pic related is the entirety of the known Naruto world. We have no idea what lies to the West, North or South; there appears to be another continent to the East but we know nothing of it either. Are there any Europe, Africa or America equivalents in this Japan-inspired world? Are there countries where people can use Chakra but don't follow Shinobi or Feudal culture?

Twice the size of toriko's world.

It's a typical trait of Japanese shows to have countries start and end within a day's march or so. Kino's Journey has fucktons of micro countries that make no sense, yet also look almost the same.

To the west are all of the actual, modern countries with the present day technology they use in some episodes. They're not really allowed to go there.

They use English words like "rival", "speed", "timing" or "rookie" all the time, so clearly there has to be some other place that speaks a language similar to English with enough cultural influence to seep into their world
Or at least, that's what logic would dictate. It could just be Kishi not putting any thought into the implications of his world.

Loan words can be very deceiving. Most likely the author didn't even think of them, just like most English speakers don't tend to care about the use of French originating terms, like pork and beef.

All the black people in the Hidden Cloud have to come from somewhere. Come to think of it, do they ever actually acknowledge ethnic differences? Nobody bats an eye upon seeing black people, even though real-world feudal Japan was pretty xenophobic.

But pork and beef aren't spelled in different set of characterst.

that's because most of the western world only has one alphabet nowadays.

I think there was a movie with some Europeans in it.

>Nobody bats an eye upon seeing black people
Or white people for that matter, mind you that the main character(s) looks like an American in Japanese stereotypes.

Wait what

Japanese wasn't originally written with Chinese characters either. That's why the pronunciation and usage of Chinese characters is so much more complex and counterintuitive than in Chinese.

I haven't seen Naruto since I was a kid, but I remember in one of the real early episodes they used like headsets to communicate by radio and shit, right?

...

>beginning of Shippuuden
We need 3 days to reach Sunagakure from Konoha
>end of Shippuuden
We need 1 hour to go from Kabuto's cave to Konohagakure, listen to Hashimara's entire story and then go back to the Land of Lightning to fight Madara

that training must've paid off

>Feudal culture
Why do they still have feudal lords anyway? Especially during Boruto's time, society has clearly progressed far beyond the point where they should still be a thing.

Isn't that fantasy Denmark? Even got Gotland.

Maybe if you reached so hard that your arm fell off

Wait the Forest of Death wasn't in the village? I thought it was like right outside of it or something.

>in like a day, sometimes hours
post an example in the manga
you can't

Right here

there's no specific timeframe for that second event though

>Japanese wasn't originally written with Chinese characters either
Japanese used to be written exclusively in Chinese. That's where they learned to write to begin with.
The reason Japanese kanji is so counter-intuitive, is because Japanese choose to spell Chinese loanwords the same as their native Japanese words.
Imagine if in English, we decided to spell "helix", "spiral" and "wind/wound" the same way, and still pronounced each one differently depending on when it's used.
This is what Japanese does.

We know it had to be less than a day because it was happening at the same time as Naruto's fight with Tobi.

In the last you get a view of the planet from the moon

Don't forget about Killer Bee.

It's so weird how Sweden is larger than Japan, but has 13 times less in population compared to Japan.

Sweden is colder and they don't have the "rice" cheat mode

>"rice" cheat mode
I don't get it.

it requires a lot of human effort to farm rice so you need a lot of people to work on the fields so you always need high number of people living in a small area

Oh, now I get it.

Feudal states, like in good ol' times.

Why do they live in such small villages while their countries are so big?

The villages aren't that small, by the Boruto era they're more like full-fledged cities.

Naruto would have been fucking amazing if our lens through we saw the world wasn't a massive fucking retard. Honestly Naruto, Sasuke, and Pink Hair were some of the worst characters

>Are there countries where people can use Chakra but don't follow Shinobi or Feudal culture?
There's the Samurai country, does that count?

Konoha is huge, the red line is 20 km, the yellow line is around 60km. Konoha is a circle, and the very top of that circle is 120km across, or a little less than 75 miles.

And here's an aerial view of the village
