Naruto is a manga (Japanese comic book) made by Masashi Kishimoto. Due to its popularity, an animation was created from the original story. A lot of Naruto fans follow these episodes that are now numbered to 220 and is still ongoing. The story talks about Naruto Uzumaki, an adolescent ninja that lives in Konoha, who wants to become the next â€œHokageâ€, the strongest ninja and leader of his village. We then follow his adventures as Naruto grows and becomes stronger, nearer to the achievement of is dream. The video game Naruto: Rise of a Ninja made by Ubisoft follows this story line from the episodes 1 to 80 very closely and differs in that way from the previous games created.
