Naruto, Vol. 1

The first volume of Naruto introduces Naruto Uzumaki, an outcast ninja-in-training from the Hidden Leaf Village who carries a fearsome fox spirit sealed within him. Desperate for recognition and dreaming of becoming Hokage, Naruto graduates from the ninja academy and is placed on Team 7 with rival Sasuke Uchiha, gentle Sakura Haruno, and their new sensei, the enigmatic Kakashi Hatake. Kakashi puts the trio through a grueling bell test designed to teach them the true meaning of teamwork before they can call themselves ninja. Masashi Kishimoto's iconic series kicks off here with the humor, heart, and action that made it a global phenomenon.
