Twelve years ago, the Village Hidden in the Leaves was attacked by a fearsome threat. A nine-tailed fox spirit claimed the life of the village leader, the Hokage, and many others. Today, the village is at peace and a troublemaking kid named Naruto is struggling to graduate from Ninja Academy. His goal may be to become the next Hokage, but his true destiny will be much more complicated. The adventure begins now!
Naruto combines dramatic storytelling with the coming-of-age journey of an adolescent ninja, making it an epic classic. Since its debut as a manga in 1999 by Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto has captivated millions globally. The franchise includes multiple TV series, movies, and OVAs, making it one of the best-selling manga series ever.
