[[In a World|In a world]] rife with [[Ninja]], one boy seeks to become the [[To Be a Master|greatest ninja there ever was]]. That boy is Naruto Uzumaki, a twelve-year old ninja-in-training who tries to make up for his lack of talent and intellect with enthusiasm and sheer determination.
 
However, Naruto's cheerful disposition hides a dark secret: when he was but a baby, his hometown of Konohagakure ("The Village Hidden In the Leaves") was attacked by a monstrous demon known as the Kyubi ("Nine-Tailed Fox"). The beast was eventually subdued, but not before it had killed many of the strongest ninja of the village. Furthermore, the beast had to be contained in the infant Naruto's body, and the boy has had to grow up with the stigma of basically being a [[Sealed Inside a Person Shaped Can|living prison]] for a demonic monster.
Line 10:
On February 8, 2007, the original series ended after 220 episodes, of which 96 were filler and 85 of those were infamously consecutive. The continuation, ''Naruto: Shippuden'', debuted on February 15, 2007. It focuses on the further adventures of the now-16-year-old Naruto.
 
The English dub ran on [[Toonami]] in the US. When the news first spread that ''Naruto'' was hitting the States, despite the fanbase's fears, [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] had little, if any interest. But [[Viz Media]] had plenty of interest, since they scooped up the license and dubbed it for the US audiences. At first, it seemed like it would be marketed as a kiddie show with blood - [[Never Say "Die"]] was in full effect - but the Wave Country arc onwards saw free usage of the words "kill", "die", etc.
 
Also notable is that as of January 2009, an official English subtitled version of the anime will be available for a subscription fee as little as ''an hour'' after the Japanese broadcast on and available subtitled ''for free'' on [http://naruto.viz.com/ this site] which started with the beginning of ''Shippuden'' and has since caught up. For American users, the television site [http://www.hulu.com Hulu] features the episodes for free a week after they're aired, catching up at the same rate. Which is good, considering [[Cartoon Network]] stopped airing the show when there were only 11 episodes of filler left (though luckily episodes in either language are still available on iTunes and coming out on DVD). If, like many of us, you don't live in the U.S., you can also watch Naruto for free within an hour of it being broadcast in Japan at [http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/Naruto_Shippuden Crunchyroll].
Line 35:
* Shinobi World War Arc (Volumes 55-Present)
 
Several licensed games have been made, such as ''[[Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2]]'', ''[[Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations]]'' and the ''[[Naruto Clash of Ninja (Video Game)|Naruto Clash of Ninja]]'' series. A spinoff series called ''[[Rock LeesLee's Springtime of Youth]]'' was also made.
 
''Not'' to be confused with [[Naru TaruNarutaru|the series]] with the similar-looking name. And '''''DEFINITELY''''' not to be confused with a terrifying horror manga called ''[[Uzumaki]]''.
