Looking for answers about the human bombs, Sasuke goes to meet Orochimaru who takes him to a mysterious island.

Sasuke finally finds the arms dealer who once had a fighter with special powers in his service. An incredibly diverse and gripping story with unparalleled character development. Had to add a review since some of them I read were quite frankly ridiculous.

The story continues were it left off and takes no time at all in getting right into it. It then goes on to get better and better and better.

Reviews down rating due to fillers is ridiculous, obviously the studio and channels need to make money and fill air time, and obviously 1 manga is not as long as 1 anime, common sense should then counter any grudge held due to fillers.

In summary it's my opinion that Naruto is one of the most epic and dynamic stories to exist to this date. Though it does have a large emphasis on fighting, Naruto is primarily about characters and story.

It is a must watch AND a must read to everyone with above average intelligence. Others will enjoy it immensely too, but without a doubt the more intelligent you are the more you will enjoy it. Details Edit. Release date October 28, United States. Adult Swim Official site.

English Japanese. Technical specs Edit. Runtime 24 minutes. Naruto places strong emphasis on character development. Almost all outcomes are a result of decisions, character, and personality; very few things happen just because of chance. At first, emphasis is placed on Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, who are the members of Team 7. However, other characters are developed, such as Kakashi, Guy, and Jiraiya, as well as Naruto's peers in the other Genin teams and other villages. Several major villains came into play as well, the first being Zabuza Momochi , a missing-nin from the Kirigakure , and his partner, Haku.

Later, a mysterious organisation called Akatsuki begins to pursue Naruto in order to take the Nine-Tails inside him and harness its power. See also: Characters Naruto has a large and colourful cast of characters, running a gamut of detailed histories and complex personalities, and allowing many of them their fair share in the spotlight; they are also seen to grow and mature with the series, as it spans several years.

As fitting for a coming-of-age saga, Naruto's world constantly expands and thickens, and his social relations are no exception — during his introduction he has only his teacher and the village's leader for sympathetic figures, but as the story progresses, more and more people become a part of his story. The students at the Academy, where the story begins, are split up into teams of three after their graduation and become genin.

Each team is assigned an experienced sensei. These core teams form a basis for the characters' interactions later in the series, where characters are chosen for missions for their team's strength and complementary skills; Naruto's Team 7 becomes the social frame where Naruto is acquainted with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno , and their sensei Kakashi Hatake , also called the "copy ninja" for copying thousands of ninja techniques with his Sharingan , forming the core of his world-in-the-making.

The other three-man teams of his former classmates form another such layer, as Naruto connects with them to various degrees, learning of their motives, vulnerabilities, and aspirations, often relating them to his own. The groups of three are not limited to the comrades Naruto's age — groups in the story in general come in threes and multiples of three with very few exceptions.

Sensei-student relationships play a significant role in the series; Naruto has a number of mentors with whom he trains and learns, most notably Kakashi Hatake and Jiraiya , and there are often running threads of tradition and tutelage binding together several generations. These role models provide guidance for their students not only in the ninja arts but also in a number of Japanese aesthetics and philosophical ideals. Techniques, ideals, and mentalities noticeably run in families, Naruto often being exposed to the abilities and traditions of generation-old clans in his village when friends from his own age group demonstrate them, or even achieve improvements of their own; it is poignantly noted that Naruto's generation is particularly talented.

Many of the greater lingering mysteries of the series are questions of character motives and identity. The legacy of Naruto's parents, the goals that guide Kabuto Yakushi , the identity of the mysterious Akatsuki leader — these are only a few of the fundamental unanswered questions of "who" and, by proxy, "why" currently at the core of the series.

The story is remarkably character-driven; the theme of causality runs inherently throughout the series as characters reciprocate for their past actions and relationships. In this respect, characters' respective destinies are very much intertwined, and large emphasis is placed on comradeship and 'bonds' between the community or individual. Character names often borrow from Japanese mythology, folklore and literature such as the names borrowed from the folk-tale Jiraiya Goketsu Monogatari , or are otherwise elaborate puns; often there is a noticeable influence of the story behind the name shouldered by the character.
