Then it was found that the most dominant types of illocutionary acts used by Naruto is Representatives And the least dominant types of illocutionary acts used by Naruto is Declaratives. It is happened because Naruto as main character gave more statements and information about his believes and the facts of the situation in the story. He often stated his believes about what happens to be the case of the conversation with others characters in the story. He also described about himself and the situation of the story then he committed it to his truth to show the truth condition of his utterance. That is why he used Representatives utterances the most.
