Naruto



By Masashi Kishimoto
In Indonesia published by Elex Media.




Naruto, in short was the story about ninja. As we know, ninja is the typical of Japanese spy that not only the spying; they had the special expertise. Naruto had the goal to become Hokage, the village head at the same time the strongest ninja in the Konoha village, the village ninja in the fire country. Approximately one decade beforehand, one devil, the nine tails fox of Kyuubi, was seemed had the biggest wheel, it attacked the Konoha village of a ninja village that was hidden. The fourth generation of Hokage, sacrificed his life to seal the devil of Kyuubi in a baby. The baby was named Naruto Uzumaki, that will become the main leading figure in this story when he will be at his twelve years old.. At the period he changed and there were not a single one in the academy that did not know Naruto. He was not handsome, also was not clever, his work only created problem, and possibly did not surprise if he was failed to graduate from the ninja academy for 3 times. It was also not surprising if a child like him was not too much cared about.

Using unusual way; by being slandered by one of his teachers named Mizuki to steal the high note of the class technique belonging to Hokage; he was chased after by Konoha ninjas, and beat Mizuki, after studying one of the techniques that was written only in 1 night. Finally... Naruto was yielded from the academy. (The graduated ninja of the academy will get the level that was called genin). It is the lowest level. Genin that had just passed will be gathered in the group that consisted three genins. Afterwards, they will be led by ninja at jounin level, the upper level ninja. Jounin will lead their pupils to carry out their mission in groups.

There were good news and the bad news for Naruto. Luckily, Naruto was in one group with the girl he liked, Sakura Haruno, the cleverest girl in their year. Unfortunately, he also in the same group with his former classmate that he hated most, Sasuke Uchiha, alias the best graduation in their generation. Unfortunately again, they were led by jounin named Kakashi Hatake, alias the guide that had never passed out any genin. But this time Kakashi could yield to the main leading figure and his two new friends. Then begun, the daily boring mission of the 7 team of Kakashi guidance.

... Until at one time Naruto complained to Hokage the 3rd generation, and asked for the more somewhat quality mission. Finally, they got the mission to guard a manufacturer of bridge named Tazuna, to go to neighbouring country, the Wave country (Nami). Unfortunately, evidently the mission was not guarding the person down to the foreign country, because Tazuna was not frank about his head was being aimed by a rich person named Gatau. Gatau tried to obstruct Tazuna to make a bridge. He carried out all the methods, including the fugitive leased ninja from the Fog country (Left) was named Zabuza, and his subordinate, Haku; both of them were not at all weak....

Finally, the 7 Team could return to their village. Kakashi registered genin whom followed the Chuunin exam, it is the exam to become middle level.ninja. The exam chuunin in the Konoha village was not only restricted for genin from the Konoha village, but also genin from the other village ninja, like the Suna village (sand), the Oto village (the sound), and 6 other villages. Although, he was at genin level, the participants in the chuunin exam were not ordinary people. Of course, there were some of them got shocked when hearing the existence 3 teams from the Konoha village that contained the new graduation from the academy.

Apart from the Kakashi team, there was also the 10 Team guidanced by Asuma jounin, that consisted of Shikamaru Nara, Akimichi, Chouji and Ino Yamanaka. There was also the 8 team: Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuuga, the guidance jounin Kurenai. Those three teams proved that they were not the new ordinary graduation, because they had succeeded in passing the written and survival exam. In the third stage exam, participants who remained less than half of participants's number in the beginning, included from 2 teams that remained was graduate from the last year academy, the guidance jounin Guy: Rock Lee, Neji Hyuuga, and Ten-ten. Unfortunately, this number still too many for the juries, so it was forced to be held by the match of one opponent of one around them, and remained 9 persons. Around 9 people, 3 people came from the team that was came from the Suna village: Gaara, Kankurou, and Temari. The nine people will pit their capacity to one another in front of the spectator from outside, the nobles, Hokage, as well as the management of the ninja village, Suna, Kazekage.

They, who included into the 9 people, certainly did not waste their time, including Naruto that slipped away from elimination and entering the big 9. Be as stupid as anything of Naruto, certainly he was not so stupid to waste the time. He must practise facing the final chuunin exam. Kakashi that lavished his attention for Sasuke, asked Ebisu to train Naruto. Unfortunately, the Ebisu's training only took place several days, because further there was a person named Jiraiya whom finally trained Naruto. And evidently Jiraiya was not an ordinary flirtatious man.

Incident by incident, there was inconsistency began to happen. Including the curse that was imposed to Sasuke in the middle of the exam, the mysterious killing of a jury, and the peak end of the war that was begun by Orochimaru from the Oto village, co-operated with ninja Suna. This war take place in the middle of the implementation of the chuunin exam on the last stage. There were many lost their lives not only ninja, but also genin, chuunin, jounin and even Hokage, for the sake of Konoha. Orochimaru did not stop trying, although his plan had failed. He looked for Tsunade, to cure his wound as a result of fighting against Hokage. Definitely, it was ended with the failure, once more, because Tsunade accepted Jiraiya's offer and the Konoha village senior figure to become Hokage the 5th generation. Orochimaru did not want to lose, and he used his last method, Sasuke. Tsunade moved by sending the beginner chuunin with genin including Naruto to take back Sasuke. In this case, they received help from Suna village genin.
