(OP: Datte-freakin'-bayo! Excited to see post-time skip Naruto on the new Toonami line-up - although it's gonna take forever to catch up with Viz's DVD releases of the series, if ever.)

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 properties. The manga series (rated ‘T’ for
Teens, in print and digital editions) and animated counterpart
(NARUTO and NARUTO SHIPPUDEN rated ‘TV-14’) are some of VIZ
Media’s most successful titles and have captivated
millions of fans across North America, Europe and South America.
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?
