It is featured mainly during the series and most of the happenings take place there in the series.The other Nations are:Land of Wind - It hosts the Hidden village of sand lead by Kazekage.The ninjas of this village specialize in wind based Justus however it has been seen in the series that they also use puppets for fighting.The Current Kazekage.The Garra is a very good friend of Naruto.Land of Water - It hosts the Village Hidden in Mist also known as the Bloody mist as it used the brutal methods such as killing own comrades for graduation for training.

Who is Naruto's Girl












It is always amazing to know how much individuals will get riled up over the love of Naruto's life. Indeed, the love of Naruto's life is the subject of numerous debates as well as flame wars on the web. Either way, we cannot deny the truth that the whole "romance" aspect of this anime makes it more and more interesting. And, as Naruto plays the main role he has to end up with some body, right?If you watch this series, you will come to know the whole story about it. Once you watch you will come to know that there are two girls who play the main character in this series. Therefore these girls have the opportunities for ending up with the hero Naruto. This will be the same unless Kishimoto who is the author of this series throws in few more female characters onto the story. There are two main girls in this series who are known as Haruno Sakura and Hyuuga Hinata.Sakura has been always been Naruto's crush.

This was the same from the beginning of the series. Even though she is the team mate of Naruto, she was not necessarily Naruto's friend at the starting of team Kakashi. Indeed, Sakura displayed much hostility towards Naruto in the starting of the series. However, she will warm up to Naruto as the series progresses and begins to care him as a friend.Then you will come across Hinata. Hinata is a very shy girl, like all the other academic girls. From the beginning she had a crush on Naruto. Hinata never looked down on Naruto even though she is very smart than Naruto. On the contrary, her crush on Naruto is huge that she will faint whenever she will come close to Naruto.

Review of Naruto Shippuden Story Arc One

Since this is essentially a restart of the series they needed to reconnect us to the characters. I don't want to give too much away if you are still watching the original series, but at this point Sasuke is with Orochimaru and Naruto has gone off to train for two and a half years.The series starts with Naruto's return and his reconnection to his friends (and vicariously us). At this same time; to keep the action moving, two members of the group that are after the tailed demons are moving in on the village of sand. Their goal is Garra.Battles abound throughout this Arc, since they wanted to keep the action fans happy. The real story is in the new maturity level of Naruto, and the rest of the characters. Sakura has advanced considerably under the eye of Lady Tsunade, and an early segment with Kakashi testing Naruto and Sakura is very fun.The only complaint I have, is that they jumped back into the action a little too fast for my taste. Even one or two more episodes with more of naruto reconnecting with his friends, would have added to the restart of the series. As is, they still did pretty well. Letting several of the supporting cast; including team guy and some old friends from the Sand Village, get some good air time.Naruto's ability to change even the most jaded individuals comes into play, and some interesting things are set up for later. The biggest revelations in this arc involve Akatsuki (the group after the tailed demons). We get to see something of what they're up to and the extreme methods they are using. We also get to see the whole group for the first time.I will give this story Arc the Following ratings:
Story Development: B+ -Several important events occur in this story arc, but they could have spent more time in some areas.
Action: A -I doubt I will ever rate this under A, the action is superb as always.
Arc Story: C+ -They should have spent a bit more time on Naruto's return, and some less important parts seem to drag on forever.Overall I will say it's a B+ story Arc.
