    It's just the beginning

    Explaining an unforgettable tragic event, showing the nature and personality of Naruto in village and school and his own desires, exposing the dark truth about him which he struggled to accept it but he did because of his mentor Iroka who is the one that understands Naruto's life and pain the most standing with him no matter what happen.

    This is an impressive start of a long anime, I have to admit the soundtracks are emotional and outstanding and for that I'm very excited to watch Naruto.

    So much in this episode

    After seeing all the 720 episodes of Naruto, I'm watching this firdt one sometimes and still can feel the emotion grow in me at the end of the episode.

    • Quotes

      Iruka Umino: Naruto is one of a kind, works hard, puts his whole heart into it. Sure he messes up sometimes and everyone jumps on him, but his suffering only makes him stronger. That's what separates him from being a beast. So you're wrong. He's nothing like the nine tailed fox. He's Naruto Uzumaki of the Village Hidden in Leaves.

      Mizuki: You really believe that drivel? Iruka, I was going to save you for later but I changed my mind. You're finished!

      Iruka Umino: So this is it.

      [Naruto saves him]

      Iruka Umino: Naruto!

      Mizuki: Not bad for a little punk.

      Naruto Uzumaki: If you ever lay a hand on my sensei... I'll kill you!
