Anime: Naruto!

I guess that most otaku's, either they are hardcore-fans or have just gotten interested in anime, manga and that sort of thing know about Naruto.
The reason for this is of course that Naruto has one of the longest stories together with Bleach and one piece.

For those who despite this, doesn't know much of Naruto, i'm going to try to simplify the story (ofc without too many spoilers x) )


First of all, the main city where the story is taking place: Konoha, who is the "hidden leaf village". The world in Naruto is parted up in different villages such as Konoha, or the hidden sand, water and so on... not very important right now xD

Here is a map that would explain it a bit easier:

 

Konoha is the village in the middle 

The story begins with a monster appearing in the village, this monster goes by the name "Demon Fox" or "Nine-tails". The Nine-tails started to attack the village and many people died. To save the rest of the village the Hokage* seals the monster inside of a little newborn boy. 

This is when the sealing takes place

Hokage is the highest rank in the city, the leader of the village. 

The 4th Hokage with the 1th the 3th and the 2th

The little baby was who this series is named after: Naruto Usumaki. To make a long story short. The Naruto series is about Naruto's life and his dream to become a well known ninja and a Hokage. We follow him from the age of 10-12 ( I think >.<), when he first start at the academy to learn how to become a ninja. This is also the place where he meets Sasuke Uchiha, who is the strongest boy on this age (At least he is allways the best on tests and such) and Sakura Haruno. Soon this three get on the same team, team 7 with their captain Hatake Kakashi

This is an ongoing series witch at this moment: 

The anime got: 220 (first season) + 233 (2th sesong, the shippuden) = 453 Episodes

Movies: 14.

Manga: 56 Volums/Books  or 560 chapters
