Naruto Uncut Boxed Set

The Chunin Exams enter their final round as the popular fantasy-adventure Naruto continues. The arrival of Jiraiya, the lecherous arch-ninja known as The Sage of Toad-Mountain interrupts Naruto's intensive training regimen. Jiraiya wants to ogle the local girls, but Naruto wheedles and fusses until the Sage agrees to teach him the powerful jutsu used to summon a monster toad. His first efforts are unimpressive: All he can conjure is a tadpole. But Jiraiya's instruction enables Naruto to tap into the extraordinary spiritual power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon imprisoned within his body. Drawing on this energy, Naruto defeats Neiji, avenging his cruel treatment of the gentle Hinata. But more serious matters overshadow Naruto's match: Sasuke vanishes from the hospital and everyone fears Orochimaru may be involved. Or is Sasuke's disappearance linked to a plot by the leaders of the Sand and Wind Villages to break the peace treaty among ninja and destroy the Hidden Leaf Village? At the center of this intrigue is the highly anticipated face-off between Sasuke and Gaara, the murderous psychotic who fights with enchanted sand. Sasuke arrives just as the match is slated to begin, and the collection ends on a cliff-hanger. The filmmakers also provide plenty of slapstick, ramen dinners, jutsu, and cartoony tantrums that Naruto fans expect.

Naruto

Naruto (NARUTO - ナルト -, Naruto^?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto with an anime adaptation. The main character, Naruto Uzumaki, is a loud, hyperactive, unpredictable adolescent ninja who constantly searches for recognition and aspires to become a Hokage, the ninja in the village acknowledged as the leader and the strongest of all.

Kishimoto first authored a one-shot of Naruto in the August 1997 issue of Akamaru Jump. The plot differed substantially in that Naruto was the son of the demon fox instead of being the container, and the story was placed in a more modern setting. This early version of Naruto already had the ability to transform into a sexy young woman - but when he did so, a fox tail sprouted. Kishimoto then rewrote the story to its current form, which was first published by Shueisha in 1999 in the 43rd issue of Japan's Shonen Jump magazine. As of volume 36, the manga has sold over 71 million copies in Japan. Viz Media publishes a translated version in the American Shonen Jump magazine. Naruto has become Viz's best-selling manga series. To date, the first 27 volumes are available. In order to catch up to the translated anime, Viz plans to release volumes 16 to 27 three at a time over the months of September to December 2007.

The first of two anime series, produced by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex, premiered across Japan on the terrestrial TV Tokyo network and the anime satellite television network Animax on October 3, 2002, and is still being aired. Viz also licensed the anime for North American production. Naruto debuted in the United States on Cartoon Network's Toonami programming block on September 10, 2005, and in Canada on YTV's Bionix on September 16, 2005. Naruto began showing in the UK on Jetix on July 22, 2006. It began showing on Toasted TV on January 12, 2007 in Australia, which features the German dub opening, although it could be watched on Cartoon Network in 2006. The first series lasted nine seasons, while Naruto: Shippūden began its first on February 15, 2007.

Hatake Kakashi

Kakashi Hatake adalah guru pembimbing sekaligus rekan satu tim Naruto. Meskipun terlihat lemah, ia adalah seorang ninja jenius yang memiliki sharingan, sebuah mata khusus yang ia dapatkan dari almarhum temannya, Obito Uchiha (teman Kakashi saat masih menjadi genin; ia mati saat menjalankan misi dari Yondaime). Dia tipe orang yang santai dan acuh, namun dapat bertindak cepat dan serius apabila diperlukan. Seringkali ia terlihat sedang membaca sebuah buku yang berjudul Icha Icha Paradise! (Datanglah Surga!). Satu hal yang menarik dari Kakashi adalah mulutnya tidak pernah diperlihatkan kepada pembaca. Mulutnya selalu ditutupi, tidak hanya saat ia bertugas tetapi baik waktu tidur [dengan buku Icha Icha Paradise nya] maupun waktu di tempat permandian [dengan handuk].

Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke adalah teman satu tim Naruto selain Sakura. Ia adalah seorang ninja berbakat yang selalu menyendiri dan jarang bergaul. Sikapnya yang dingin serta kemampuan bertarung yang tinggi membuatnya digilai banyak wanita terutama Sakura.

Ia memiliki masa lalu yang kelam dan —sama seperti Naruto— hidup sendirian; tanpa teman dan keluarga. Cita-citanya adalah untuk menjadi ninja yang kuat dan membunuh Itachi Uchiha, kakak kandungnya, yang bertanggung jawab atas kematian seluruh keluarganya.

Sakura

Sakura adalah salah satu rekan satu tim sekaligus wanita idaman Naruto, namun ia lebih menyukai Sasuke daripada Naruto. Dia adalah seorang ninja berbakat yang selalu mendapat nilai sempurna di setiap ujian yang diikutinya. Sakura memiliki kepribadian yang unik dan seringkali ia bertindak di luar nurani untuk menjaga citranya sebagai seorang wanita yang baik dan anggun yang sering disebut dengan "nurani Sakura".

Deskripsi Tokoh

Naruto Uzumaki adalah tokoh utama cerita ini. Ia adalah seorang ninja dari desa Konoha, Salah satu desa militer terkuat di dunia ninja. Naruto dikarakteristikkan sebagai seorang ninja yang penuh kejutan, bersemangat, ceria, hiperaktif, kikuk, lugu, dan sangat ambisius dalam meraih cita-citanya untuk menjadi Hokage, ninja terkuat di Konoha. Dalam tubuh Naruto, tersegel seekor monster rubah ekor sembilan yang pernah menyerang dan hampir menghancurkan desa Konoha. Karena monster yang ada dalam tubuhnya itulah, ia dijauhi oleh penduduk desa di masa kecilnya hingga ia bertekat membuktikan kepada masyarakat di Konoha bahwa ia akan menjadi Hokage agar ia bisa diakui di desa itu, sekaligus menjadi incaran ninja-ninja yang menginginkan kekuatan Kyuubi, si rubah ekor sembilan.

Ia sanggat menyukai Sakura Haruno, namun cintanya bertepuk sebelah tangan karena Sakura lebih menyukai Sasuke daripada Naruto. Naruto adalah putra dari Hokage ke-4 yang bernama Minato Namikaze
