Masashi Kishimoto's wildly popular and long-running Manga series follows the youthful adventures of Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto aspires to be the greatest ninja in his village, and he and friends are constantly getting into and out of sticky situations. For complicated reasons explained in the early episodes, Naruto has a demon trapped inside him--the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, to be specific. The Fox gives the boy his extraordinary fighting abilities, but Naruto must constantly struggle to keep the demon under control.

To truly end the Akatsuki's reign of pain, Naruto's teacher Jiraiya must delve deep into the past to uncover the secret of Pain's origin. At the same time, Sasuke moves toward the final battle of the Uchiha brothers when he closes in on the elusive Itachi!
