naruto
A demon fox, an aspiring ninja and some fearful villagers. What do these things have in common? They're all part of the exciting anime series, Naruto.
But before you can know the story, you must first know the history. A long time ago, a demon fox with nine tails appeared, causing devastating damage to the world. To defeat the fox, the villagers called on their Shinobis or master ninjas to battle the demon. One of these Shinobis gave his life to seal the demon away inside a newborn boy. And that boy as you might have guessed it, was Naruto.
Despite the Shinobi's high hopes, the present-day villagers don't much care for Naruto, seeing as how he's carrying the demon fox around with him. Determined to become a great ninja and warrior, Naruto attends the Ninja Academy under the master training of sensei Iruka. Unlike the villagers, Iruka believes in Naruto and sees his potential. But like any good anime series, Naruto must face a few challenges before he can achieve his goals. Naruto's world revolves around five major countries: the Hidden Stone Village (Earth), the Hidden Sand Village (Wind), the Hidden Cloud Village (Lightning), the Hidden Mist Village (Water) and Naruto's home, the Hidden Leaf Village (Fire). Each village has it's own unique characteristics, such as the Death Matches of the Hidden Mist Village and each character comes with his or her own special set of quirks. Naruto for example is quite the hot-head (perhaps because of that demon fox?) and has a large chip on his shoulder. Sasuke is an impressive ninja student and heir to the ninja family Uchiha. Sakura is both smart and strong, with eyes for Sasuke. See? I told you this one was exciting :)
Billed by many as the next Dragonball, Naruto is an action-packed anime filled with martial arts, ancient magic and quite a bit of attitude. Worth your time? Oh yeah.
