The story is in two parts, the first set in Naruto's pre-teen years, and the second in his teens.

His goal may be to become Hokage, but his true destiny will be much more complicated. The adventure begins now!

تاریخ خوانش روز بیست و هشتم ماه ژانویه سال 2017 میلادی

عنوان: ناروتو: آزمون نینجا: کتاب یک از سری؛ نویسنده: ماساشی کیشیموتو؛

ناروتو عنوان یک مجموعه مانگای پرطرفدار است، که توسط «ماساشی کیشیموتو» نوشته، و تصویرسازی، و بر اساس آن چندین مجموعه ی انیمه نیز ساخته شده‌ است؛ نخستین قسمت «مانگای ناروتو» در شماره ی چهل و سوم هفته‌ نامه ی «شونن جامپ»، در سال 1999میلادی، توسط انتشارات «شوئیشا» به چاپ رسید، و چاپ آن همچنان ادامه دارد؛

مجموعه انیمه ی «ناروتو»، توسط استودیو «پیرو» تهیه می‌شود؛ نخستین قسمت انیمه ی ناروتو، در روز سوم ماه اکتبر سال 2002میلادی، از شبکه ی تلویزیونی «تی‌.وی توکیو» پخش شد؛ سری نخست «انیمه ی ناروتو» شامل دویست و بیست قسمت است؛ سری دوم این مجموعه نیز، با نام «ناروتو: شیپودن»، از روز پانزدهم ماه فوریه سال 2007میلادی، تا روز بیست و سوم مارس سال 2017میلادی، در پانصد قسمت پخش شد؛ علاوه بر مجموعه‌ های انیمه، استودیو «پیرو» تاکنون یازده فیلم سینمایی، و چندین «او.وی‌.ای» نیز تهیه کرده‌ است؛ با به پایان رسیدن مجموعه های «مانگا»، و «انیمه»، ادامه ی داستان، توسط پسر «ناروتو»، «بوروتو اوزوماکی» با عنوانهای «بوروتو: ناروتو» برای نسل‌های بعدی دنبال می‌شود، او قصد دارد در ازای تعقیب رویاهای پدر خویش، راه نینجایی خود را دنبال کند؛

درون‌مایه ی داستان «ناروتو»، بیشتر درباره ی نینجاهای دارای قدرت‌های مافوق طبیعی، و استفادهٔ آن‌ها از چاکرا، برای جنگیدن است؛ شخصیت اصلی این ماجرا نینجایی نوجوان، و پرشور و شوق، به نام «ناروتو اوزوماکی» است، که تلاش دارد، توجه و احترام اطرافیانش را نسبت به خود جلب کند؛ بزرگ‌ترین آرزوی وی اینست که روزی «هوکاگه (بالاترین مقامی که یک نینجا می‌تواند در کونوها، وطن ناروتو به‌ دست آورد)» شود؛

چکیده ی داستان «دوازده سال پیش از آغاز داستان، موجودی شرور و افسانه‌ ای به نام «کیوبی (روباهی غول پیکر با نه دم)» به کونوها حمله می‌کند؛ چهارمین هوکاگه با استفاده از یک طلسم، و قربانی کردن خود، موفق می‌شود کیوبی را داخل بدن ناروتوی تازه به‌ دنیا آمده، زندانی کند.؛ ناروتو پسری یتیم است، و اکثر مردم (بزرگسالان کونوها) او را همان کیوبی می‌بینند، و از او نفرت دارند.؛ بنا به فرمان هوکاگه ی سوم، هیچ‌کس حق ندارد، در مورد رویدادهای رخ‌داده ی مرتبط با حمله ی کیوبی، حرفی بزند؛ برای همین، همسالان ناروتوو، همچنین خودش، چیزی در این مورد نمی‌دانند.؛ با این وجود، و رفتار بزرگسالان، و تأثیر رفتار بر روی فرزندانشان، ناروتو دوران کودکی خود را، بدون هرگونه رابطه ی صمیمانه، و دوستی سپری می‌کند.؛ نتیجه اینکه، ناروتو برای جلب توجه، دست به انواع و اقسام شیطنت، و خرابکاری می‌زند.؛ در آغاز، ناروتو بدترین شاگرد مدرسه ی نینجاها است؛ اما با تلاش فراوان، قدرت‌های خودش را افزایش می‌دهد، و بالاخره فارغ‌ التحصیل می‌شود.؛ پس از فارغ‌ التحصیلی، نینجاهای مبتدی، به گروه‌های سه نفره تقسیم می‌شوند.؛ ناروتو نیز به همراه «ساسوکه اوچیها (بهترین شاگرد مدرسه)»، و «ساکورا هارونو (که ناروتو به او علاقمند است)»، در یک گروه قرار می‌گیرند.؛ تعلیم آن‌ها را هم «کاکاشی هاتاکه»، یکی از بهترین نینجاهای کونوها (که همیشه ماسکی بر صورت دارد)، به عهده می‌گیرد...؛»؛

I'm pretty much a die hard fan of this series, and now that it's done, I'm sad.

For the sake of my aching heart, I'm going to reread it again and revel in its moments of light-heartedness, its pain, its desperate hope.

Well, there was a bit of pain in the first volume, a lot of light-heartedness, and a taste of the promise to come. The nine-tailed demon fox is still far off on the horizon, but for now, we've got cute character exploration and distant goals. Pretty standard for most manga, really, ...more

Naruto’s a teenage orphan with a secret. He’s training to be a ninja in ninja school in a village that used to be menaced by a giant fox with nine tails. But he’s a bit screwy – he doesn’t have parents so he’s a bit wild and acts out quite a bit, though he just knows he’s gonna be the greatest ninja ever. I think he will too because his name is the series title!

The first volume introduces us to Naruto and his world. He learns how to make doppelgangers of himself; he fights some generically evil Naruto’s a teenage orphan with a secret. He’s training to be a ninja in ninja school in a village that used to be menaced by a giant fox with nine tails. But he’s a bit screwy – he doesn’t have parents so he’s a bit wild and acts out quite a bit, though he just knows he’s gonna be the greatest ninja ever. I think he will too because his name is the series title!

The first volume introduces us to Naruto and his world. He learns how to make doppelgangers of himself; he fights some generically evil dude; and he gets teamed up with Sesuke the class heartthrob, and the girl he fancies, Sakura, who, of course, fancies Sesuke – Naruto’s gross! – as they train under a deceptively skilled ninja teacher.

Unfortunately there’s not a whole lot I liked about this book. Writer/artist Masashi Kishimoto barrels through the setup too quickly and clumsily so characters come and go without making an impression. Here’s Some Kid – he’s gonna be your nemesis, Naruto! Here’s Some Evil Guy and Some Good Guy – save Good Guy and fight Evil Guy, Naruto! It’s simplistic, and that’s fine, but that doesn’t mean it should be artless.

Naruto is trying a bit too hard to be the likeable scamp and appealing hero. So much so that I wanted someone else to be the main character – he’d make a decent supporting character instead. Sakura is an embarrassingly poor female character. She’s a female ninja but because she’s a girl she’s obsessed with love and romance, like eeeeevery girl, riiiiight?! That’s why she’s not a great ninja – because she’s obsessed with the dreamy boooooyyyyyyy LOL!! Ugh.

The whole doppelganger thing is weird – literally producing copies of yourself doesn’t seem like a ninja skill. Naruto manages to turn himself into an adult naked hot woman and back, then later scores of himself that are physically and mentally real. Is he a ninja or a magician?! How does this ninja magic work anyway!?

The art is more-or-less generic manga so it’s not especially eye-catching, and it’s a bit rough in places, particularly with the fight scenes. Naruto vs the ninja teacher is a bit jerky with the panel transitions – they’re not as fluid or well-paced as Akira Toriyama’s near-flawless Dragon Ball – and Kishimoto has to go back to certain scenes and explain with diagrams what happened in them, which isn’t great.

This first volume of Naruto is pretty bland stuff by most manga standards. Obviously the series has done well with dozens of books and a hit TV series but I didn’t see anything special here to make me want to read the rest of the series. ...more

Most importantly, on this day Master Kishimoto has reminded me of why story-telling is important - because it gives the people hearing the story hope! Story-telling is a lost art in America if you ask me. The stars of the shows with the most popularity (with few exceptions) are the most negative underachievers you'll ever meet. In fact, negativity and low standards are so glamorized in this country one is almost considered socially unacceptable if one doesn't also embrace those qualities.

This is not to say people aren't still telling ~~good~~ great stories here. It's just not what fetches the attention of the biggest movie studios or TV network programming. Especially TV network programming where mindless, brain-dead reality shows with NO morality to be found for miles and miles rule the airwaves anymore. Or they are cooking shows. It's maddening.

So perhaps that's why Naruto fires my imagination as profoundly as it does, because I've been in a drought of decent entertainment. Naruto is so much more that that, though; to deem it mere "entertainment" falls sorely short of the mark. Indeed, Naruto is a way of life, one that I readily embrace!

Believe it!

(This is the first manga I've ever read. I was impelled to read it from watching the anime on Hulu.com. The story is very powerful and has made me a fan for life of Masashi Kishimoto. The anime is pretty great and now that I've read the first volume of the manga I can say that, at least as far as the first few episodes are concerned, it stays pretty true to the manga. And even if it didn't, the anime is still awesome.

The manga though provides a different experience, and if you've never read one before you will find out immediately why I say that. As a complete noob to manga, the rating I give this may be biased; not to mention already influenced by several episodes worth of the anime that sprang out of it.) ...more

And apart from a few 'blah' moments I find no faults with the manga or the anime, although I do prefer the Japanese adaption of the anime, the English voices do not do it for me, bring on the out and out sexy Japanese voices.

Masashi Kishimoto is a genius as far as I'm concerned. It's one of those 'you love it or you hate it' things and everybody has their own tastes and are into their own things, if this doesn't float your boat after a while then by all means move on to something else but make sure you have given it a try first because you never know it might surprise you.

I started off watching the anime, after about five minutes into the English adaption I moved onto the Japanese adaption and honestly I was expecting to hate it, mainly because of my hatred for subtitles. I watched about 9-10 episodes and quickly moved on to something else. About 2 years later I saw an ad for one of the movies and I was like 'I remember that, I gave it a try but didn't find it all that good (mostly because of the subtitles)I wonder if it's still crappy'. So I found a website that showed the episodes and started from the beginning and, after forcing myself to ignore the pain that is subtitles, I got into it really quickly. Now I'm a major fan, I watch the anime (Japanese adaption, subtitles don't erk me as they once did) and read the manga every week and I look forward to the next weeks episode and chapter.

I love the plot and the emotions that Kishimoto brings to the table. But mostly I love the characters. There are a lot of things in the manga and anime that the characters have gone through that a lot of people can relate to these days. Being born with nothing and having to fight every day to find someone to share a connection with, being born with everything and having to go through the pain and anguish of losing it all, being lost and confused and trying to find your way in the world, fighting with everything you have to protect someone or something you love. These are things that people all over the world can relate to in one way or another.

Therefore I bow to Kishimoto for creating such a masterpiece, that's my opinion, a lot of people my very well disagree and that's fine, as I said a lot of people may have different tastes.
