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.
 
But like any good [[Shonen]] protagonist, Naruto doesn't let this slow him down. He continues to pursue his ambition of becoming the next Hokage ("Flame Shadow", a title for the head ninja of his village). The manga ''[[Naruto]]'', written by [[Masashi Kishimoto]], follows the story of his pursuit of greatness, with the help of his teammates (Angst-ridden [[Anti -Hero]] Sasuke and hot-headed love-interest Sakura), and eventually moves to encompass their struggles against [[Big Bad]] Orochimaru, ruthless leader of the rival village of Otogakure ("Village Hidden in the Sound"), and the S-Class criminal organisation Akatsuki.
 
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.
