About Naruto
The story, based on the manga by Masashi Kishimotofollows a teenage ninja who is hated and disowned in his home village for harboring a demon that attacked his population in the past: the Nine-Tailed Fox.
When Naruto Uzumaki was just a newborn baby, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, gave his life to summon the Shiki Fūjin and seal this creature within the little one. As an orphan and recipient of the evil Kurama, he grew up as an outcast and suffered from teasing, insults, and mistreatment until his teens. Lonely and helpless, he devoted more of his attention to mischief than studies until a mentor inspires him to become a great ninja.
At the Ninja Academy, all the students are divided into three Genin groups and Naruto is assigned to sensei Hatake Kakashi along with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. The trio of youngsters didn’t get along all that well at first, but each challenge and traumatic experience brings them together, while darkness looms over them from the shadows to separate them.

In August 1996, cartoonist and writer Masashi Kishimoto published a story a single chapter (one shot) for Akamaru Kimp magazine, but decides to extend it in November of that same year in collaboration with the publisher Shueisha for the successful weekly magazine Shōnen Jump.

The entire phase of childhood and early adolescence of the protagonist was grouped into Narutowhich finished airing in 2007. To establish a difference with his life from the age of 17 onwards, a new production was launched under the title of naruto shippuden and ran for 500 episodes between 2007 and 2017. In its long run, movies based on both television series were released in theaters.
Although the story of Naruto Uzumaki was thought to end five years ago with the ending that Kishimoto wrote for the manga, another generation of ninja was born.

To date, it continues to be broadcast and allows us to follow not only the adventures of Naruto’s son, but also the famous characters we met in the past story.
