Naruto Vol.1 The Tests Of The Ninja: Journal Entry 1

Issue 1 Uzumaki Naruto (Pg 1-59) Today I started volume 1 of one of the most popular manga in Japan, Naruto. It takes place in Konohagukure a.k.a the Hidden Leaf Village. First it explains a incident that happened 12 years prior to the book about how a demon fox attacked the fox. It explains how the Fourth Hokage, leader of the village, saved everyone by sealing away the fox spirit into a baby. 12 years later it shows Naruto Uzumaki, a prankster who is a ninja in training, defaming the faces of the  4 Hokages, whose faces were carved onto the side of a mountain. Naruto does these pranks to receive attention because everyone in the village ignores him and despises him for an unknown reason. At the Academy, where they teach young lings to become full fledged ninjas,  Iruka Sensei gives his students, including Naruto, their last test before the final test to graduate and that test is to be able to do the Transform Technique. When it is Naruto's turn he transforms into naked girl in which he calls his Sexy Jutsu, but then Iruka yells and gets mad because he was supposed to transform into Iruka. Iruka then has Naruto clean up his mess from earlier when he defaced the faces of the 4 Hokages, Naruto says he doesn't care because it is not like he has a family to go home to because he is an orphan. Iruka then decided to take out Naruto to eat Ramen, Naruto's favorite food. During the final test the students are supposed to do the Shadow Clone Technique where when Naruto summons up his clone it's very bad and fails. Then it shows him sitting on a swing watching all the graduating kids with their parents. Then Mizuki, a fellow ninja of the leaf, felt bad about Naruto and tried to convince Iruka to give him a headband as a symbol of becoming a ninja, but Iruka would say no. Later that day, Mizuki went to Naruto and told him about this scroll the First Hokage sealed away due to all of the most powerful jutsus in the world. Later that night, Mizuki would tell Iruka that Naruto had stolen the scroll and left. The Third Hokage would then send out every avaible ninja to go after Naruto. Then after some searching, Iruka would find Naruto in the forest where Naruto, who is happy to see Iruka, tells him that he has been practicing the first jutsu in the scroll, which is the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu. Iruka would ask Naruto how he got the scroll where he would tell Iruka that Mizuki told him where the scroll was and that it would help him pass the academy. Mizuki would appear and would proclaim his intent to use the scroll and become the greatest shinobi of all time. Iruka & Mizuki would then have a fight. During the fight, Mizuki would reveal a shocking revelation that Naruto was the baby the Fourth Hokage sealed the demon fox spirit into and that he was the demon fox. Shocked by this, Naruto would run off leading to Iruka & Mizuki to go after Naruto where they would have another scuffle. It was during this fight that Iruka would get stabbed in the back, not fatally, by one of Mizuki's big shuriken while trying to protect Naruto. Naruto enraged, saying that if he ever hurt his sensei he would kill him, would use the Multi Shadow Clone Technique where he summoned up hundreds of clones who would beat down Mizuki, not to death though. The next day still in the forest, Iruka would put his headband on Naruto's head and would say "You graduated you are now a full fledged ninja". Very excited, Naruto would give Iruka a huge hug knocking him to the ground and then asking Iruka if they can celebrate by eating at a Ramen shop in which Iruka argees.
