Naruto is a ninja-in-training with a need for attention, a knack for mischief, and sealed within him, a strange, formidable power.

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura have passed the final test to become junior ninja - but now the real challenge begins. Tired of menial tasks, the young ninja ask for a tougher assignment and find themselves - together with their teacher, Kakashi - bodyguarding a cranky old man from the Land of the Waves. But Tazuna the bridgebuilder is in more danger than anyone realizes: he's the target of elite ninja assassins, including Zabuza, 'the demon,' and our heroes are about to face a trial by fire...
