This is a ninja world. In the world of Naruto, being a ninja is just like being a Hunter in HunterXHunter or a pirate in One Piece - it's the dream of young boys! However, unlike Gon who is self-taught and Luffy, the protagonist Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy of Konoha Village (even though he barely passed and was known as the perennial "underachiever", sweat). Since childhood, Naruto has had the evil Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within him. As an orphan, he has been neglected by the villagers, but he doesn't know why. He just tries his best to attract everyone's attention through various pranks, but instead, people stay even further away from him. Fortunately, there is still Iruka-sensei who cares about him, which prevents Naruto's personality from becoming distorted. He is always full of energy, cheerful, and super optimistic. In order to gain more recognition from others, Naruto's goal is - to become the Fifth Hokage! This is a very high goal, as the Hokage is one of the five strongest ninja titles in the world and also the leader of the Konoha Ninja Village. Naruto doesn't care, he is super confident that he will become the Hokage one day. Go for it, Naruto!
Naruto's companions are classmates determined by their teacher. At first, they don't get along with each other, but as they fight together, although they still argue on the surface, they eventually become good partners who trust and recognize each other. Among the companions are the cool and handsome Sasuke (who also bears the mission of revenge) and the smart and cute girl Sakura. Among the opponents are the cunning and super-strong Boss Orochimaru, the lonely killer Zabuza, the cold-blooded and unwanted child Gaara... There are also other classmates from Konoha who have both competition and mutual assistance. Although it is a traditional setting in shonen manga, the characters and stories are all very exciting!
