Summary

L to R (Western Style). Meet Naruto, he's a class-clown, a lazy bum, a total prankster, and could just possibly be the world's most powerful Ninja! Naruto is a ninja-in-training with a need for attention, a knack for mischief and, sealed within him, a strange, formidable power. His antics amuse his instructor Kakashi and irritate his teammates, intense Sasuke and witty Sakura, but Naruto is serious about becoming the greatest ninja in the village of Konohagakure! Naruto is trying harder than ever to pass all his exams and get to the next level of ninja training. But a powerful and mysterious new young ninja might throw all his plans out of whack. Who is Gaara and why does he make everyone so nervous?
