ناروتو

أهلاً بكم في قرية كونوها، حيث يجوب النينجا الجادّون أرجاءها، ويُثير ناروتو أوزوماكي المشاغب المتاعب أينما حلّ. ولكن عندما يسرق لفيفة الختم القديمة، يُطلق العنان لقوة نادرة لا تُرى عادةً في فتىً في الثانية عشرة من عمره

يتخرج ناروتو أخيرًا من أكاديمية النينجا ويدّعي أنه يعرف كل شيء. حسنًا، هذا على الأقل ما يقوله لكونوهامارو، حفيد شيخ القرية الصغير. ولدهشة إيبسو، معلم كونوهامارو ومرشده، يُعلّمه ناروتو تقنية "الجوتسو المغري" الخطيرة

في طريقه ليصبح نينجا، يجب على ناروتو أن يتعاون مع زملائه في الفصل، ساكورا الجميلة وساسكي الجاد للغاية...

الآن وقد أصبح ناروتو وساسكي وساكورا فريقًا واحدًا، يلتقون بمعلمهم، كاكاشي الغامض والمنعزل.

مع وجود خطر الفشل يلوح في الأفق، يحاول ناروتو وساسكي وساكورا كل ما يعرفونه لاجتياز اختبار البقاء الشاق

بعد أن سئم ناروتو من أداء المهمات المملة، طلب من الهوكاجي أن يُسند إليهم مهمةً صعبة. استجاب الهوكاجي وأسند إليهم مهمةً من الرتبة "ج". سيتولون مهمة حماية شخصية لمهندس بناء جسور. تبدو المهمة بسيطةً في البداية، إلى أن تعرضوا لهجوم من قبل ما هو أبعد من مجرد بلطجية عاديين... نينجا آخرين

يصل ناروتو وفريقه إلى أرض الأمواج ويكتشفون أن رجل أعمال شريراً يُدعى غاتو قد استولى على الأرض

بعد أسر كاكاشي، يجد ناروتو وساسكي وساكورا أنفسهم مضطرين للدفاع ضد هجمات زابوزا. يدرك ناروتو أن التعاون مع ساسكي قد يكون السبيل الوحيد لإنقاذ كاكاشي. فهل سيكون جهدهما المشترك كافيًا لتحرير كاكاشي وهزيمة زابوزا؟

بعد تحرير كاكاشي، استؤنفت المعركة بينه وبين زابوزا. قرر كاكاشي أن يُري زابوزا قدرات الشارينغان الحقيقية. هل يستطيع شارينغان كاكاشي هزيمة زابوزا؟ ومن هو الشخص الغامض الذي يراقب القتال؟

بعد رحيل زابوزا، بدأت الأمور تستقر، وبات بإمكان تازونا بناء الجسر دون خوف. أو هكذا يظن الجميع. لكن كاكاشي يعتقد أن هناك خطباً ما في موت زابوزا، فيُعلّم ناروتو وساكورا وساسكي طريقةً للتدرب على استخدام التشاكرا بشكل أفضل. هل مات زابوزا حقاً؟

بينما يتدرب ناروتو وساسكي، تراقب ساكورا تازونا. خلال عشاء لطيف، تلاحظ ساكورا وجه رجل ممزق من صورة. كان اسم الرجل كايزا، وكان يُطلق عليه في البلاد لقب "بطل". ما الذي حدث ليُسبب كل هذا الألم لإيناري؟

يواجه ناروتو هاكو في الغابة في مواجهة خطيرة، لكن هل هاكو موجود هناك لإثارة المشاكل؟ من الأفضل لناروتو وساسكي إكمال تدريبهما، فزابوزا ما زال على قيد الحياة وقد عاد للجولة الثانية. هل سيتمكن كاكاشي وساسكي وساكورا من هزيمة شيطان الضباب؟ وهل سيصل ناروتو في الوقت المناسب لتقديم المساعدة؟

بدأت الجولة الثانية مع زابوزا، ولكن هذه المرة... يقاتل هاكو إلى جانبه. يتبادل هاكو وساسكي الضربات، ويتأخر ساسكي في البداية حتى يتمكن من توجيه ركلة. في هذه الأثناء، يواجه ناروتو بعض أتباع غاتو. عند الجسر، يستخدم هاكو تقنيته السرية، مرايا الجليد الشيطانية. ماذا تخبئ هذه التقنية لساسكي؟ هل سيصل ناروتو إلى الجسر في الوقت المناسب وينقذ تسونامي وإيناري أيضًا؟

ينضم ناروتو أخيرًا إلى المعركة على الجسر. لكن عندما يقع ناروتو، عن غير قصد، في قبضة تقنية هاكو، يضطر هو وساسكي للتعاون من أجل النجاة. يعجز كاكاشي عن مساعدتهما، إذ عليه مواجهة زابوزا لحماية ساكورا وتازونا. كيف سينجو الاثنان من مرايا الجليد دون مساعدة؟

Naruto and Sasuke continue to fight Haku and are getting beaten bad. After having Naruto try and escape a few times, Sasuke begins to see a pattern. Meanwhile, outside Kakashi and Zabuza begin their fight. Can Naruto and Sasuke escape from Haku's jutsu? What plan does Zabuza have to defeat the Sharingan?

Naruto and Sasuke continue their rigorous battle against Haku. When Haku targets a vulnerable Naruto, Sasuke risks everything to save him. Seeing his friend lie before him, a powerful force awakens inside Naruto. Has Kyubi been set free. If so, can anyone stop him?

Naruto takes out his rage on Haku, who doesn't stand a chance. However, Naruto realises that Haku is the boy he met back at the forest. Haku tells Naruto the story of his past and asks for Naruto to do him one favour..... Will Naruto do the one thing he could never do just as Haku wishes?

Kakashi prepares to stop Zabuza once and for all, but Haku has other plans. Zabuza's employer shows up and he's decided to take matters into his own hands...

Thinking of Haku, Naruto angrily confronts Zabuza, but he learns that cruel reality is the fate of a ninja.

Naruto and his team return to the Village Hidden in the Leaves after their battle in Land of Waves.

After the three ninjas take their leave, Sasuke realizes he has a powerful rival out there. The next day, Kakashi announces that he has recommended all of them for the Chuunin Exams. While Naruto and Sasuke are pleased, Sakura is afraid of letting everyone down. Also, someone decides they aren't ready and decides to test their abilities.

Rock Lee challenges Sasuke to a one-on-one fight. Naruto grows angry and attacks him, only to be beaten in one attack. Sasuke realizes the challenge and eagerly accepts. But will Sasuke be defeated just as easily by this mysterious ninja? Sasuke's only advantage seems to be his Sharingan, but what happens when not even that will work?

A reunion of all the rookies isn't a very happy one, as all of them prepare to take the Chuunin Exam. With so many rivals around, Naruto's team will need help from a fellow ninja named Kabuto to know what they're up against. Will the group be able to last through the exam?

The first test of the Chuunin Exam is just that, a written test. When Ibiki issues a strict set of rules, Naruto fails to realize the true objective of the test. Can Naruto realize the truth before time runs out? And what about the tenth question?

Ibiki declares what seems like a harsh and unreasonable rule for the hardest part of the first exam.

Konohamaru, the grandson of Leaf Village's Third Hokage, shows up at the Chunin Exam site. He comes along with Moegi and Udon to cover the events for the Ninja Academy's school newspaper. Konohamaru looks up to Naruto like an older brother and through interviews with the characters, recaps their adventures thus far.

The second exam is about to begin, and every ninja must sign a form so that their team can get either the Heaven or Earth Scroll. The goal is to get one of each scroll and make it to the tower in five days.

To prevent further problems, Sasuke thinks up a password to determine friend from foe, but will it be that simple? Meanwhile Naruto has his hands full with a giant snake. Can he handle this on his own and what about Sasuke and Sakura, can they survive the ordeal?

Sasuke is about to give up and give their scroll to the enemy, when Naruto stops him and accuses him of being a fake. Naruto then turns his attention to the Grass Ninja.... The battle is intense and when the Grass Ninja appears to get the upper hand, can Sasuke muster up the courage to fight?

Sasuke is still stuck in his trance and even Sakura's pleas can't get him back to normal. Meanwhile, Anko searches for the grass ninja fake. When the team appear to get the upper hand the question begs to be asked. Are the ninja truly defeated, or is there more to them than meets the eye?

Since Sakura was the only one who did not get injured in the previous battle she must watch over and protect her teammates. Unknown to her though, there are enemies watching from the trees.... They attack, but a friend arrives to help. Will it be enough?

Lee in his weakened state is having trouble defeating Dosu. Sakura realises everyone has been protecting her until now and that its her time to protect them! Can Sakura succeed where even Lee failed?

With Sakura defeated and facing certain death, more reinforcements step into the fray. However, they sense an even bigger level of power, and its not coming from the sound trio! Meanwhile Sasuke wakes up with an ominous dark aura surrounding him and the mysterious seal spreading over his body. He has but one goal....make his enemies pay!

Kiba, Shino, and Hinata decide to try and eliminate their opponents by taking more scrolls. They arrive upon a battlefield where three Rain ninjas are battling Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari. They remain hidden and observe the battle, thinking one of the Rain ninjas is a dangerous foe. After realizing Gaara's amazing abilities, they discover who is the really the dangerous one, and will be lucky if they can sneak away with their lives!

To heal their wounds, Naruto and his team take a much-needed rest after their battle against the Sound ninja. But it has already been four days since the start of the exam and there is only one day remaining until time expires.

Naruto's team joins Kabuto on their journey to the tower, but on the way, they are trapped by the genjutsu (illusion technique) of the Hidden Rain Village's genin (low rank ninja), Oboro's team.

The exam is over, but did they truly pass? An old friend arrives to explain and show his concern. Meanwhile, Anko informs the ANBU about Orochimaru, the S-Class criminal who even they cannot stop. Later the Third Hokage explains to everyone what the third exam truly means....

With so many participants still left, the groups are told that they will be pitted against each other in preliminary matches. Kabuto leaves, then Sasuke is told he has to fight. They know that Sasuke was given the cursed seal and if it takes over they will stop him. Can Sasuke stop the seal from taking over again and still win?

The preliminaries of the third exam consist of one-on-one combat, and the first match is between Sasuke and Orochimaru's minion Yoroi.

While Shino and Zaku finish their fight, Kakashi works on Sasuke's cursed seal. However, someone sinister shows up to ruin things, will Kakashi be able to protect Sasuke from this skilled foe?

Kankuro takes on Kabuto's teammate, Misumi, in a quick battle, proving how tough the Sand ninja really are. However, the real match comes when Sakura and Ino are pitted against one another!

Sakura and Ino prepare to settle the score once and for all! However, when Sakura becomes the victim of Ino's Mind-Body Switch Justu, will she be forced to give up the match?

Temari of the Sand Village battles against Tenten from the Leaf Village. After the battle its Shikamaru's turn, but can he defeat an opponent who has already seen his moves once before?

The match between Kiba and Naruto kicks off, with Kiba immediately proving he has the upper hand in the battle. Everyone still believes Naruto is the weak ninja he's always been, everyone except for Hinata, Kakashi, and Sakura. Now it's Naruto's time to shine, and this time...everyone will be watching him!

The battle between Naruto and Kiba draws to a close, with each of them giving it everything they've got. After being tricked by Naruto, Kiba can no longer rely on Akamaru's help. Naruto decides now is the time to release his new jutsu, only Kiba won't give him time to prepare it!

Kiba alerts Hinata, as he's being taken away, that there are only a few fighters left. He warns her that if she fights Gaara, she has to give up immediately or she could be killed. He also tells her to give up if paired against Neji, because Neji already has issues with her. Just then, the board shows the next fight...Hinata vs. Neji. Just how far will Hinata go to prove herself?

Hinata will not give up so easily, especially with Naruto watching her. Will Hinata be willing to give up her own life in order to prove herself, or will the match be stopped before Neji can connect a killing move?

The second-to-last match finally arrives! Rock Lee must face down the mysterious and dangerous Gaara, a ninja who is said to have never been truly injured in a fight before.

As the battle between Lee and Gaara continues, Gai remembers how hard Lee used to train and how Lee has pretty much no ninjutsu or genjutsu skills. Lee is also a dropout, like Naruto. In order to defeat Gaara, Lee will have to use the move Gai forbade him to use.

The match between Gaara and Lee draws to an end as Lee unleashes his ultimate move. But will even this be enough to defeat Gaara? Even if Lee does make it out in one piece, even more shocking news awaits him.

As Chouji faces off against Dosu, Orochimaru gives an order for Kabuto to abduct Sasuke. He also tells Kabuto that if he wants to stop him, he'll have to kill Sasuke. As Kabuto approaches Sasuke, he hesitates on what to do. His spy cover is soon blown though, as Kakashi appears on the scene. Will Kakashi save Sasuke from Kabuto's grasp?

Naruto wants Kakashi to train him, but Kakashi has other plans. Ebisu arrives to an unhappy Naruto and makes a deal with him. If Naruto can get away from Ebisu, he'll make Kakashi train him. Naruto decides to accept Ebisu's challenge, but can he win?
