The naruto anime is derived from the baruto manga. A japanese comic written by masashi kishimoto. And anime adapted by tv tokyo. It is a story about an orphan ninja named naruto who is disliked by all the people of his village konoha. The reason of hatred towards him is not known to him. He has a dream to become the hokage ( the leader or the president of the village) and be acknowledged by his people. He begins his training to become a better ninja in his academy at age 12. He accomplishes his dream at age 28. He becomes the seventh hokage with all the people in his village and all the other villages of the world by his side.
The anime is a little slow though. It has a lot of filler episodes and does not move fast. But if you have the patience you would find yourself crying when it ends. It will entertain and motivate you to the core.
Highly recommended.
