Naruto

First seen leaping around his hidden forest village like a hyperactive monkey after defacing the sacred statues of its greatest heroes, 12-year-old Naruto Uzumaki is a mischievous kid with Bart Simpson hair and an attitude to match. He's also a ninja in training, with a great deal of skill and power, though he tends to use it for clowning and teasing as much as anything else. His masters say he just wants attention—as an orphan, he feels alone and friendless. But he's also an outcast, for reasons he learns in the first episode of the long-running fan favorite Naruto. When he was an infant, a nine-tailed fox—a powerful, angry spirit—almost destroyed his village. The spirit of the fox was bound inside his body, and his people avoid him, worrying that it may someday escape.As the series opens, a greedy rival reveals this information and more to Naruto in hopes of using him. But thanks to his plotting, Naruto finally manages to pass his initial test, become a first-level ninja and learn the powerful "Shadow Clone" jutsu, or ninja technique. This lets him duplicate himself many times and attack with many bodies, and combined with his homemade "sexy jutsu," which makes him briefly look like a buxom naked woman covered only by a few strands of strategically placed smoke, it's a devastating attack against weak-minded men.But knowing these jutsu makes Naruto overconfident, and his arrogance and impatience to become a hokage, one of the highest-ranked ninjas, make him careless. While he's remarkably patient with Konohamaru, the even more hotheaded, incompetent and ambitious grandson of one of the village hokage, Naruto's first days of full ninja training go poorly. Assigned to a training group with his crush object, hyper-competitive Sakura, and her crush object, grim, quiet Sasuke, he launches headfirst and without thought into everything from winning Sakura's affections to defeating his sensei and completing his training.
