Naruto, Vol. 1

Naruto is a ninja-in-training with a need for attention, a knack for mischief, and sealed within him is a strange, formidable power. His antics amuse his instructor Kakashi and irritate his teammates, intense Sasuke and witty Sakura, but Naruto is serious about becoming the greatest ninja in the village of Konohagakure.

In another world, ninjas are the ultimate power, and in the village of Konohagakure live the stealthiest ninjas in the world. However, twelve years ago, Konohagakure was attacked by a fearsome threat—a nine-tailed fox demon that claimed the life of the Hokage, the village champion. Today, peace has returned, and a troublemaking orphan named Uzumaki Naruto is struggling to graduate from the Ninja Academy. His goal is to become the next Hokage, but unknown to Naruto and his classmates, within him is a terrifying force.
