Naruto closely follows the life of a boy who is feared and detested by the villagers of the hidden leaf village of Konoha. The distrust of the boy has little to do with the boy himself, but it’s what’s inside him that causes anxiety. Long before Naruto came to be, a Kyuubi (demon fox) with great fury and power waged war taking many lives. The battle ensued for a long time until a man known as the Fourth Hokage, Yondaime, the strongest ninja in Konoha, fiercely fought the Kyuubi. The fight was soon won by Yondaime as he sealed the evil demon in a human body. Thus the boy, Naruto, was born. As Naruto grows he decides to become the strongest ninja in Konoha in an effort to show everyone that he is not as they perceive him to be, but is a human being worthy of love and admiration. But the road to becoming Hokage, the title for the strongest ninja in Konoha, is a long and arduous one. It is a path filled with betrayal, pain, and loss; but with hard work, Naruto may achieve Hokage. The first 135 episodes are really good, but after that the story gets pretty childish. This is because the anime stops to let the manga (comic) get ahead again. Now there is a second season of naruto called Naruto: Wind Chronicles, it will be a while before the dvd's are out but its looking very good, its back on track with the manga and the story is keeping the high standard the first 5 seasons of naruto did! A warning to anyone thining of buying this on ebay. Stay away from the region free copys, they are all bootlegs, Cartoon Network have bought the rights for this anime and all the Hong Kong versions are all illegal. Rating first 135 episodes 10/10 Episodes 136-220 6/10 Season 2 so far 10/10!
