Naruto - Shikamaru Nara

The world of manga and anime has been revolutionized by "Naruto", a major shonen work imagined by Masashi Kishimoto. This saga, which follows the adventures of a young ninja named Naruto Uzumaki in his quest to become Hokage, debuted in 1999 in the Weekly Shonen Jump. Over a 15-year period, the series has developed to reach 72 volumes, ending in 2014. The success of the work has given rise to a vast media universe. Two main animated series have emerged: "Naruto" (2002-2007) and its sequel "Naruto: Shippuden" (2007-2017). The franchise has also been enriched with numerous films, OVAs and video games. The story continues today through "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations", a spin-off series that features the hero's son. This continued expansion of the Naruto universe has created a true cultural phenomenon, generating a wide range of derivative products and becoming an essential reference in the field of action and adventure manga.
