This is a world of ninjas. In the world of Naruto, being a ninja is 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 the Leaf Village. (Although he barely passed and was known as the "dead last" student, sweat).
Since childhood, Naruto has had the evil Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within him. As an orphan, he was neglected by the villagers, but he didn't know why. He tried various pranks to attract attention, but people only distanced themselves from him even more. Fortunately, there was Iruka-sensei who cared for him, which prevented Naruto's character from becoming twisted. He is always full of energy, cheerful, and super optimistic. To gain more recognition, Naruto's goal is - to become the Fifth Hokage! This is a high goal, as Hokage is one of the five strongest ninja titles in the world and also the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto doesn't care; he is extremely confident that he will become the Hokage someday. Go for it, Naruto!
Naruto's comrades are classmates determined by the teacher. At first, they didn't get along well with each other, but through shared battles, although they still argue on the surface, they eventually became good partners who recognize and trust each other. Among his companions are the cool and handsome Sasuke (who bears the mission of revenge) and the smart and lovely girl Sakura. His opponents include the cunning and super strong boss Orochimaru, the lonely killer Zabuza, the cold-blooded and unwanted child Gaara... There are also other classmates from the Hidden Leaf who both compete and help each other. Although this is a traditional setting in shonen manga, the characters and stories are very exciting!
