This is only one of the biggest anime/manga out there right now. You find all kinds of sites, fan art, fan listings, you can download the fansub, the mang, the RAW versions if you just can't wait, and it's music. It seems unstoppable with several specials, a movie, and devoted fans around the world. And now it's been licensed to be shown on Cartoon Network in America. Some of the die hard fans aren't to thrilled about that because of the possible screw ups with voice actors and the editing that will need to be done to show it in the states on TV. I'm gonna give it a try, it can't kill me...hopefully.
So you don't know what its about? Ok, in the fictional country of fire there is the hidden leaf village filled with ninja, the story follows Naruto and his friends. Naruto has a deamon sealed inside of him that was going to destroy the village. He's kind of the misfit and class clown and wants to be the next Hokage (the villages greatest ninja). Him and his teamates must go on missions and protect the villiage from attackers, but what will happen with the deamon trapped inside him?
