In the latest NARUTO SHIPPUDEN adventure, Naruto begins his training to control the power of
a Tailed Beast with Killer Bee as his new master. In order to do so, one must

one’s own power. Using the key entrusted to him by Jiraiya, Naruto unlocks the
seal to release Nine Tails, and the battle between the two begins.
Created
by Masashi Kishimoto, NARUTO was first introduced in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in Japan in
1999 and quickly became that country’s most popular ninja manga targeting
tweens and teens. The manga and anime series (NARUTO rated ‘T’ for teens, and NARUTO
SHIPPUDEN rated ‘T+’ for older teens), depicting the adventures of
ninja-in-training Uzumaki Naruto, is one of VIZ Media’s most successful
properties and has captivated millions of
fans across the Americas, and Europe The NARUTO and NARUTO SHIPPUDEN animated
series are
co-productions of TV TOKYO, VIZ Media parent company Shueisha Inc., and Pierrot
Co., Ltd.
In the NARUTO manga and animated series, Naruto Uzumaki
wants to be the best ninja in the land. He's done well so far, but Naruto knows
he must train harder than ever and leaves his village for intense exercises
that will push him to his limits. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN begins two and a half years
later, when Naruto returns to find that everyone has been promoted up the ninja
ranks – except him. Sakura’s a medic ninja, Gaara’s advanced to Kazekage, and
Kakashi…well he remains the same. But pride isn’t necessarily becoming of a
ninja, especially when Naruto realizes that Sasuke never returned from his
search for Orochimaru. Plus, the mysterious Akatsuki organization is still an
ever-present danger. As Naruto finds out more about the Akatsuki’s goals, he
realizes that nothing in his universe is as it seems. Naruto is finding that
he’s older, but will he also prove wiser and stronger?
