Naruto closely follows the life of a boy named Naruto who is feared and detested by the villagers of the ninja village, Konoha. This fear and distrust stems from the fact that Naruto has a monster, the nine-tailed demon fox, sealed inside of him by the Fourth Hokage, to prevent it from terrorizing the village. As Naruto grows, he decides to become the strongest ninja in Konoha and gain the title of Hokage in an effort to show everyone that he is not the monster that they perceive him to be, but a human being worthy of love and admiration. The series documents his struggles to attain this, as well as the tales of the various people who help and hinder his efforts. www.naruto.viz.com
