Naruto and naruto shippuden



introduction:
Naruto is an anime and manga series by Masashi Kishimoto. Its main
character, Naruto Uzumaki, is a loud, hyperactive, adolescent ninja who
constantly searches for approval and recognition. His dream is to
become Hokage, the acknowledged leader and strongest ninja in the
village.

Plot Synopsis:
A long time ago, a demon fox with nine tails appeared. When a tail was swung, it would
destroy a mountain and cause a tsunami. The Fourth Hokage sacrificed
his own life to seal the demon inside the body of a young boy...



This young boy’s name is Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto hopes one day he can
become Hokage. Most people in the village dislike him and consider him
a pest. Naruto causes havoc in order to get attention; he is ignored as
if he were the demon fox itself. After failing the Genin exam, Naruto
is tricked into stealing a scroll to become Genin. He ends up in severe
danger, but his teacher Iruka attempts to save him. However, it ends up
being Naruto who saves Iruka from possible death, and for that, he is
made into an official ninja where he begins his journey to become
Hokage! Throughout the series, Naruto faces many challenges, including
battling people who are after the demon fox that is sealed inside his
body.
