Sixth: A little biography on Masashi Kishimoto.
Some of you may wonder who Kishi is.
(Every faithful follower of the naruto series would know who he is but anyway....)
Kishimoto(Kishi) is the creator of the Naruto series.
He was born November 8, 1974 in Okayama, Japan, as the older of two twins. kishi stepped on to the scene in the couple past years, with his beloved, fantastic, amazing and ever popular manga Naruto. Naruto has quickly become one of the most popular and best selling mangas of all time. The manga is read by millions of fans worldwide every week.
As a young kid Kishi was fixated with the TV show "Doraemon",
as all of his friends back then. He started drawing pictures of the characters, and he was a perfectionist, pointing mistakes in other people drawings. “Now that I think about it, I sure was an annoying kid!" wrote Kishimoto.
In his elementary days, it would be safe to say he was obsessed with drawing. During his school he would fill his note books with drawings, and he would even draw while he was playing hide and seek while he waited to be found. One day he saw a new incredible show on TV, Mobile Suit Gundam, now all his drawings were dedicated to that show.
After a while Kishi once again found a new series. It was Akira Toriyama's Dr. Slump. Kishi recalls how he couldn't believe how "super duper good" the art was. At that time there was a contest and he even submitted a crayon drawing of Arale-chan(a character from Dr. Slump)
After following Akira Toriyama's Dr.Slupm he soon found out about the best and most popular series. Toriyama's Dragonball. (Yes, Kishi was fan of Dragonball, as most of us) This discovery brought a whole new interest in manga and Shonen Jump. Kishimoto and his brother would often draw together and create new characters.
Near the end of his Elementary school days, Kishimoto was strictly a Dragonball fan. He was obsessed with Akira Toriyama. "He was like a god to me, I was constantly drawing characters that appeared in Dragonball"-says Kishimoto. At this stage in his life, Kishimoto didn't receive his allowance to buy the 190 yen($2 back then)Jumps, and would have to rely on a friend to show him his jump to get his DB fix.
It was this stage of his life he made a decision that he is not regretting now, and many of his fans are thankful for. He started thinking to himself that he wants to become a mangaka like Akira. He then created his first manga named "Hiatari-kun", a story revolving around a "Shadow ninja boy".
Because of Kishi's adiction to Akira's drawings he found out about a game, that Akira helped develop, called "Dragon Quest". The drawings were amazing but unfortunately he didn't own a Famicon(nintendo), which every other kid in his class seemed to own. He couldn’t ask his parents for something like that, and every time when his father heard the word "Video game" he would tell Kishi to go study.
But soon his twin brother devised a plan to get a Famicon from someone else, but could someone willingly give away something worth 10000 yen ($100). But there was a friend that did that and Kishi began to view him as a god. After begging his father, kishi finally received the game. Dragon Quest was the first game he had ever owned and the first time he had ever played an RPG game. His father that was so against video games, began to play and got close to Kishi.
In Junior High, Kishimoto began to focus on things other than drawing. Baseball had become a big part of his life, and naturally there was allot more studying to do, which meant little or no time for drawing. That was a big crisis in his mangaka life.
He wondered was he "too old to draw". But soon after this as he walked home from school, he saw a movie poster, drawn by Katsuhiro Ootomo. It was one of the best drawings he had ever seen. This drawing ignited his fire for art again.
Kishimoto tried and tried to copy and catch the details of that picture but he couldn't. it was impossible to copy, much like a person’s DNA. He understood that this drawing had so many effects, the design was terrific and every small detail was perfect and different from other artists. Kishimoto then began to create his own style, but found himself always copying someone else’s style.
In the eleventh grade Kishi made his first 31 page manga. But he soon got turned down by his brother and Father, because of that the manga will forever sit in the bottom of his desk drawer.
But his dream did not end there, he kept creating mangas in order to win the contest. After few more manga projects and being told "that is no good", he began to wonder to himself why his mangas weren’t good. What made other peoples better!?
Dedicating all of his time to figure this out, Masashi Kishimoto graduated high school ranked 38th out of 39 in his class. And because of his grades it was sure he wasn’t getting in any collage. No good at manga, no good at school, what would he do in life? He didn’t give up, he got right back to drawing Manga, and inspiring to become a Jump mangaka. He reflects back on how his thoughts didn't go to deep, "Well, things will work out!" was the extent of it.
Today his dream to become a mangaka is fulfilled. His story about that shadow ninja boy, Naruto has become one of the best selling and most popular mangas worldwide.
(wow..That was long...my fingers hurt, I didn't want to just copy, I wanted to add my touch to it)
Seventh: A summary on the manga, and progress of the main characters
Naruto is an ongoing Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto with an anime adaptation. The plot tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, a loud, hyperactive, unpredictable, adolescent ninja who constantly searches for recognition and aspires to become a Hokage, the ninja in his village that is acknowledged as the leader and the strongest of all. The series is based on a one-shot that Kishimoto first authored in the August 1997 issue of Akamaru Jump.
Plot:
Twelve years before the events at the focus of the series, the nine-tailed demon fox attacked Konohagakure. It was a powerful demon indeed; a single swing of one of its nine tails would raise tsunamis and flatten mountains. It raised chaos and slaughtered many people, until the leader of the Leaf Village - the Fourth Hokage - defeated it by sacrificing his own life to seal the demon inside a newly-born child, whose origins are as yet unknown. That child's name was Naruto Uzumaki.

(Part 2)
--> From the first chapter we see Naruto's personality.
He is a funny kid that loves doing pranks (to attract attention), sucks at chakra control and fails the school exams. Soon after the failed exam we see him sitting all alone on a swing. He is sad and lonely, looking at all his classmates, which passed. They are with their parents, talking behind his back. Mizuke uses naruto's situation to his advantages. He makes naruto steal the scroll of forbidden sealing jutsus. At this point naruto learned about kage-bunshin and learned about the kyuubi being sealed in him. Also he finds a new friend, Iruka, which was the same as naruto.
This is the turning point in Naruto's life. The first friend, the first relationship which is going to change his life. Soon after this we see naruto over at the hokages mansion and a new character is introduced. Konohamaru, he is the second friend that naruto will make. They both have the dream of becoming hokage and being acknowledged.
Teams....
Naruto is a member of the 7th team along with Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke.
He is in love with Sakura but she is in love with Sasuke. On that day Naruto got his first kiss.....with Sasuke...
. Later that same day, Naruto goes over Sasuke place and has his first win. He ties Sasuke and transforms in to him. So we see an improvement. The next day the legendary Kakashi is introduced. He is their team leader. Naruto immediately does a prank on him.... His first training went bad. But he learned one thing, team work. And then was acknowledged as a genin.
His first missions were minor but after whining over at the hokage they got an A ranked mission, maybe even an S-ranked ranked one….
In this mission we see Naruto's full potential at that time. He was even able to make a plan with sasuke without even talking to him and the result was the saving of kakashi and proving he isn't that big of a noob. On that mission we see naruto and sasuke fight back to back agains an elite ninja that can use kekei-genkai. At that point, naruto's kyuubi chakra gets released under the influence of his friends and manages to win. We also see his terrific speech with zabuza. From that day on naruto keeps lecturing every one and turning their hearts soft and good, in the same time making us cry
