Naruto
Twelve years ago, in a world populated by powerful ninja, a legendary beast known as the Nine-Tailed Fox attacked the village of Konohagakure, taking hundreds of lives. To save the city, the village's leader, the Fourth Hokage, sacrificed his life to seal the Fox into a newborn child. That child became Naruto Uzumaki, a hyperactive and optimistic but emotionally torn boy who has been abused and neglected by the very village that he lives in. Vowing to gain their respect, Naruto sets off on a journey to become the Hokage himself, and joins a ninja team alongside his new friends - the taciturn Sasuke, the kind-hearted Sakura, and the mysterious leader Kakashi. But things are not all that they seem, as Naruto will have to fight threats to the village, a group that wishes to exploit the Nine-Tails, and even his own teammates' wavering loyalties in an epic tale of war, growth, and love.
