This is a world of ninjas. In the world of Naruto, the occupation of ninja is just like the hunters in Hunter X Hunter and pirates in One Piece - it's the dream of young boys! However, this time the protagonist Naruto is different from Gon who is self-taught and Luffy. Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy of Konoha Village (though he barely made it and was known as the "perpetual dead-last", sweat).
Since childhood, Naruto has had the evil Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within him. As an orphan, he has endured the cold shoulders of the villagers. But he didn't know why, so he tried his best to attract everyone's attention with various pranks, which only made people keep further away from him. Fortunately, there was still Iruka-sensei who cared for him, preventing Naruto's personality from becoming twisted. He always has plenty of energy, laughs carefree, and is super optimistic. To gain more recognition from others, Naruto's goal is - to become the Fifth Hokage! This is quite a 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. Keep going, Naruto!
Naruto's companions are classmates determined by their teacher. At first, they didn't like each other, but through shared battles, despite still having to argue on the surface, they eventually became good partners who recognize and trust each other. Among the companions are the cool handsome guy Sasuke (who bears the mission of revenge) and the smart cute girl Sakura. The opponents include the cunning super boss Orochimaru, the lonely killer Zabuza, the cold-blooded and unwanted child Gaara... There are also other Konoha classmates from other teams who both compete and help each other. Although this is a traditional setup in shonen manga, the characters and stories are very exciting!
