Wow...where do I begin. LOL Naruto is an extremely popular Japanese anime that came from Shonen Jump, a manga (Japanese comic book) and has evolved into one of the most profitable and popular exports ever to come out of Japan. In 1999, the creater by the name of Masashi Kishimoto, placed his first segment in the 43rd edition of Shonen Jump. The rest they say is pretty much history. Naruto is an internationally known commodity spawning hundreds of websites, forums, and the like. You can watch them on Cartoon Network, but I've seen an English translated version and I must tell you it absolutely sucks. You can watch it at 9:00 pm Monday through Thursday, but if you want to catch up to the current standards in Japan...I;ll provide you a link where you can torrent EVERY single episode and movie for free and it's absolutely legal. You probably want to ask your parents or somebody older to download a program called Utorrent and install it so you can download from the site. I'm sorry if you are not a young one, I'm just assuming that you are young I guess. But for a good head start, you need to find a good site that explains the Naruto universe to you and that is my favorite site in the world.....Wikipedia!! I will give you the link to that page as well as a link to a site called Dattebayo Fansubs, LLC where you can download all the episodes. They are dubbed in original Japanese but they have subtitles in English. Watch them with your family...they are very entertaining. Good luck buddy.^@^

Naruto (romanized as NARUTO in Japan) is a manga by Masashi Kishimoto with an anime TV series adaptation. Its titular main character, Uzumaki Naruto , is a loud, hyperactive, adolescent ninja who constantly searches for approval and recognition.
The manga was first published in Japan, by Shueisha, in the 43rd issue of the Shonen Jump magazine in 1999. VIZ Media publishes a translated version in the American Shonen Jump, and has translated roughly a third of the series. Naruto has become VIZ Media's best-selling manga series.
Viz also licensed the anime for North American production. Naruto debuted on Cartoon Network's Toonami programming block on September 10, 2005, at 9:00 p.m. EST in the United States, and on YTV's Bionix on September 16, 2005, at 9:30 p.m. EST (since changed to 8:00 p.m.) in Canada. Starting on July 22, 2006, Jetix is showing the first 26 episodes of Naruto in the UK at 8.00 p.m. Starting on June 12, 2006, Cartoon Network is showing Naruto at 9:00 p.m. EST, Monday through Thursday, starting with the first episode.
The series' length and popularity (especially in Japan) is comparable to that of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball Z, another popular action-oriented shÅnen series derived from a manga. Kishimoto cites Toriyama's Dragon Ball series and Katsuhiro Otomo, of the Akira fame, as some of his inspirations,[citation needed] though Naruto differs significantly in its execution, themes explored, and overall premise.
Since its creation, Naruto has spawned a large number of fansites that contain detailed information, guides, and active forums. Some of the first and most popular sites targeted at English speaking audiences, such as NarutoFan and Naruto Chuushin, were established shortly after the first English manga volume was released in August 2003.
Prior to the anime's North American debut in 2005, several scanlation and fansub groups translated the series and made it available for free download on the internet. Although many such groups stop once a series has been licensed, there are some that have continued to translate new Naruto episodes due to the extremely large gap between the English and Japanese versions. Many of the episodes subbed by the Dattebayo fansub group are downloaded over 100,000 times within the first week of their release, and several others have surpassed 200,000 downloads within their first months; a testament to their popularity.

If you must see Naruto--- DO NOT WATCH THE ENGLISH VERSION!!! Ugh... it's soooo awful... And Naruto the anime is great up until episode 135-- skipping the previous fillers (97, 101-106) I hate CN for getting it.... and I hate Viz for liscensing it... Ah well... I hear you can get it on YouTube, but I've downloaded them all from dattebayo.... (It's "Datte Ba Yo" people, not "Believe it!" That's annoying as hell...)
