More than ten years ago, the ninja village of Konohagakure suffered a vicious attack by the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. Luckily, the creature was quickly defeated and sealed inside Naruto Uzumaki, who was just a baby then. Even though he lost his life protecting his people, the Fourth Hokage exhibited great courage in achieving this feat. Presently, Naruto is a talented and determined ninja with lofty aspirations of becoming the next Hokage of Konohagakure, while proving his critics wrong. It is noteworthy that this anime/manga series received a nomination for the 19th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize and was acknowledged as the "Rookie of the Year" in the media fine arts division by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2015.
