Naruto

Naruto is a popular Japanese manga series created by Masashi Kishimoto, first released in 1997. The story follows a young ninja named Naruto Uzumaki, who dreams of becoming the most powerful leader in his village. Originally published as a manga, it was later adapted into a successful anime series. Over the years, the franchise expanded to include ten feature films and numerous video animations. With global sales exceeding 220 million copies outside Japan, Naruto ranks as the third best-selling manga series of all time.

As a child, Naruto faced rejection from his village due to being the host of the Nine-Tails fox spirit. The villagers shunned him, forbidding anyone from revealing the truth about his connection to the beast. However, at age twelve, Naruto discovers the truth from a rogue ninja named Mizuki. Determined to prove himself, he trains to become a skilled ninja and joins Team 7, a three-member squad tasked with completing missions for the village.

These missions vary from simple chores to high-stakes assignments, helping Team 7 gain experience. After proving their skills, they qualify for a challenging exam to advance their ranks and take on more dangerous missions. Following intense training that lasts two and a half years, Naruto reunites with his team to confront the deadly Akatsuki organization. The series blends action, friendship, and perseverance as Naruto strives to achieve his ultimate goal.
