ナルト

In another world, ninja are the ultimate power, and in the Village Hidden in the Leaves live the stealthiest ninja in the land.

That boy, Naruto Uzumaki, has grown up to become a ninja-in-training who's more interested in pranks than in studying ninjutsu.. but Naruto is determined to become the greatest ninja ever!
