For those of you who are interested in the Naruto anime and manga series, this Naruto update is a great way to get caught up fast. Some people don't like go back and watch all of the episodes that they have missed. Some people want to know what's happening in the manga that hasn't yet happened in the anime. Well folks, here is your Naruto update in one quick and easy read.

; Naruto Uzumaki, the main character of the Naruto manga and anime series, starts out as an attention starved brat with little skills. He isn't well liked by most of the people in his village due to having a Kyubi, a nine tailed demon fox, inside of him that destroyed the village and killed many of the villagers and ninjas a long time ago. It takes Naruto a while to build relations and make friends.

Naruto graduates the ninja academy and is put into a team with two other ninjas and a sensei, known as Team 7. Naruto grows with his team mates through many missions. However, when he goes to graduate to from Genin to Chunin, a higher ninja level, unforeseen events hamper his progression. After this point, his best friend and team mate leaves the village to become a stronger ninja. Naruto goes after him, they fight, and Naruto looses.

There is a time jump in the series while Naruto goes to train with Jaraiya, a much stronger ninja. After his training, Naruto promptly leaves, along with the rest of his comrades, to go search for Sasuke, Naruto's best friend who left the village to become stronger. During this time, Naruto and his comrades face the Akatsuki, a powerful group of ninja who are after the Kyubi inside of Naruto.

Naruto and his comrades defeat several of the Akatsuki members. Unfortunately, Sasuke has also joined up with Akatsuki, and now Naruto's comrades are out to kill him because he has become a threat to their village, Konoha. While very brief, this Naruto update should have you caught up to date, for now.

What is Anbu Team ?

2010-12-03T18:42:00.000-08:00

The ANBU (暗部, literally "Dark Side", Viz manga "Black Ops", English TV "ANBU Black Ops") is actually short for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (暗殺戦術特殊部隊, literally Special Assassination and Tactical Squad), and is an organization of assassination squads that serves directly under the village's leader. It is still unclear as to what requirements a shinobi must possess to be an ANBU operative. The ANBU wear porcelain animal masks in order to distinguish themselves from normal shinobi and to conceal their identities, and also have standard uniforms consisting of black and gray armor, arm guards, a signature spiral tattoo on their shoulder(Men: left shoulder. Women: right shoulder) and a Ninjatō strapped on their back. They know the layout of the human body in detail, and have developed several techniques to perform their duties, such as paralyzing the target. ANBU are considered the elite, and they perform high-ranked and dangerous missions. Within the ANBU of Kirigakure, and presumably other ninja villages, there exists a sub-group called Hunter-nin (追い忍 Oinin, literally "Chasing Ninja", English TV "Tracker Ninja"), given the specific duty of hunting down rogue ninja, and destroying their bodies, so their village's secrets won't be revealed to foreign ninja.

Naruto Info: Konoha

2010-12-03T18:26:00.000-08:00

                 The Naruto Anime centers around Konoha, also referred to as the hidden leaf village. Konoha is symbolized by the leaf on the forehead protectors of its ninjas. It is led by the Hokage who rules with kindness and wisdom. While it is one of the most powerful ninja villages in the world, Konoha tries to be at peace as much as possible. When military action is necessary, it can defend itself quite well. Konoha seeks a world of peace and is home to many prominent clans with rich heritage. It is located in the fire country and dedicated to defending its feudal Lord.

                 Konohagakure (木ノ葉隠れの里 Konohagakure no Sato, lit. "Village Hidden In The Leaves"), also known as Konoha, is the hidden village within the Land of Fire and the primary setting of the series. As the hidden village of one of the Five Great Shinobi Nations, the village is led by a Kage, known as the Hokage. The faces of the first five Hokage are engraved on the rock formation overlooking Konohagakure. At the start of the series, the Third Hokage is the leader of the village. He had abdicated his position in favor of Minato Namikaze, who became the Fourth Hokage, but was forced to reclaim his position after Minato died saving the village from the nine-tailed demon fox. During Part I of the series, Orochimaru leads an invasion of Konohagakure that causes large amounts of property damage to the village and culminates with the murder of the Third Hokage, his former teacher. Tsunade, another of Third's students, succeeds him as the Fifth Hokage and oversees the village's reconstruction. Later in Part II Pain, the leader of the criminal organization Akatsuki, leads an attack on Konohagakure and destroys most of the village in the process. After Pain invades Konoha, Tsunade is left in a comatose state and Danzo is elected as Hokage. Danzo is then killed by Sasuke Uchiha. Hatake Kakashi was about to be elected Hokage, but Tsunade regained consciousness and reclaimed the title. The origin of Konohagakure is revealed during Part II of the series. The village was formed as part of an alliance between the Uchiha and Senju clans, descendants of the two sons of the Sage of the Six Paths, the strongest clans in the Naruto world at that time. Hashirama Senju, the leader of the Senju clan, became the First Hokage, and defeated Madara Uchiha, the leader of the Uchiha clan, when Madara challenged Hashirama's rule.

                              Within Konohagakure are a number of locations featured prominently during the series. The Forest of Death (死の森 Shi no Mori) is a large gated forest used for the biyearly ninja exams in which ninja can advance to the rank of Chunin. The Ichiraku Ramen Bar is the favorite restaurant of the series' titular character, Naruto Uzumaki, and he frequently visits it during the course of the series. The Final Valley (終末の谷 Shūmatsu no Tani) is the location of Hashirama's and Madara's fight for control over the village, featuring large statues of the two overlooking a waterfall. At the end of Part I, Naruto fights Sasuke Uchiha in this location in a failed attempt to return him to Konohagakure.

The "Sexy Jutsu" hahahahaha

He failed the transformation test, because, instead of making a
mockery of his teacher Iruka, like the rest of the students were capable of, he decided to be a jokester and turn into a semi naked girl, carefully covering herself with smoke in revealing areas, blowing kisses to everyone, and giving Iruka the traditional anime "nose bleed" that occurs whenever a male character is supposedly sexually aroused by something.

Iruka told Naruto, after clogging his nose up, that he had failed the test, and was not going to receive a ninja Head band, signifying that he was indeed a true shinobi. He sat in the swing sets outside of the academy looking at all the parents who appreciated their children for passing the test, offering to take them out to wherever they wanted to go for the day. He could also hear them sputtering slurs towards him, thinking that he couldn't hear, as he stared at the ground. He thought that all of his hope had been completely drained out and lost for the day, when Mizuki, the nice teacher's assistant back in the Academy who had always been kind to him, offered to help Naruto pass the test with one trick that he apparently knew.

Naruto listened intently as the kind older boy told him the one catch: he would have to sneak into the Hokage's mansion and steal a certain secret scroll from within the area. Naruto was fully prepared to do this, and with the information he had just received ,

Chiyo imbued the demon Shukaku into the Kazekage's son Gaara. Gaara lead a lonely life until he met Uzumaki Naruto. He pledged himself to prove his worth and protect his village. His drive led him to become Kazekage. He was defeated in battle by Deidara and Akatsuki removed the Shukaku demon from within Gaara, killing him.

2) Yagura and Sanbi

Yugito was a kunoichi from Hidden Cloud. Like Gaara and Naruto, she was an active part of her village. She contained the two-tailed cat demon, which was defeated in battle by Hidan and Kakuzu. Akatsuki then removed the Nibi from within Yugito, killing her.

3) Yagura and Sanbi

Info:

Akatsuki tracked down the location of the Sanbi, the three-tailed demon, which has the characteristics of turtles and shrimp. In the past, the Sanbi was imbued within Yagura, the Yondaime Mizukage. When Akatsuki captured it, Sanbi was "in the wild," with no Jinchuuriki host. For this reason he was weaker, as he could not properly control his power. Tobi was assigned to capture this demon and did so with the assistance of Deidara. This demon was succesfully sealed in the King of Hell by the group.

4) Roushi and Yonbi

Info:

Roushi contained the four-tailed demon, which took the form of a large lava-emitting gorilla.. He was made a Jinchuuriki by Hidden Rock, at some point he and his village parted company. He travelled the world to try and understand his powers. He used his Bijuu to create Youton (Lava Element) Ninjutsu, a combination of Earth and Fire Elements that created a lava which could melt through anything. He was defeated in battle by Kisame.

5) Han and Gobi

Akatsuki captured Han and his Bijuu at some point in the past. The demon takes the form of a whale-horse hybrid. It is unknown which Akatsuki member captured the demon. Two of the unseen captured Jinchuuriki's were outcasts, who were abandoned by their village when Akatsuki came to capture them.

It is unknown which Akatsuki member captured the demon. Two of the unseen captured Jinchuuriki's were outcasts, who were abandoned by their village when Akatsuki came to capture them. This individual may have been one of the outcasts.

8) Killer Bee and Hachibi

Info:

Akatsuki has yet to find and seal two Jinchuuriki: Naruto and the Hachibi Bijuu named Kiraa Bii (Killer Bee). After Uchiha Madara swayed Sasuke to his side, he sent the young man after this Bijuu. Killer Bee posseses the ability to become his Bijuu, that of a tentacled ox beast. He was eventually knocked out by Sasuke's Amaterasu and taken for sealing. His body was revealed as a transformed tentacle, while the real Bee was still safe in Lightning. This allowed Bee to escape capture and evade Akatsuki.

9) Naruto and Kyuubi

Yondaime Hokage imprisoned the Kyuubi within Naruto after it attacked Konoha. Like many Jinchuuriki, Naruto led a lonely life. Over time though, he gained friends and left his life of despair behind.

Pain acts as the leader of the group, though he and Konan secretly reported to Tobi. He has been adamant that the group can fulfill their desires if they finally possess the bijuu.

The Akatsuki Team

2010-12-01T21:00:00.001-08:00

                  The Akatsuki kanji means daybreak, breaking down the word itself gives us "aka" meaning red (a common color in the group) and "tsuki" meaning moon. This Organization is a collection of S-Ranked criminals. Many of these are missing-nins who fled their villages after causing death and destruction. There are currently only 3 active Akatsuki members: Tobi, Zetsu and Kisame. Most members wear a forehead protector from their hidden village with a scratch through it, and all seem to wear a ring identifying their position in the organization and a black cloak with red clouds. The group itself acts as mercenaries for hire, offering their services to villages wary of taxing their own resources. When the organization members leave to travel the country they will work in groups of two collecting knowledge of new skills and jutsu. The exact origins of the group are clouded in mystery, rumors suggest it may have formed in the Water Country.

     Their ultimate goal is to control the world; this will be accomplished through three steps. Step One is for the group to attain money. Step Two is to create the first mercenary group. Shinobi villages make money for their country, and for the money to be steady it requires war. Because there have not been any large scale wars in approximately the last decade, the ninja villages were being reduced in size. The Five Great Shinobi Villages could handle the downtrend, but the smaller villages could not. Akatsuki will form their own fighting force with no country allegiance. With this force they will undercut all the other villages and fight their battles for cheap. Then using the bijuu they can create new battles and new wars and gain a monopoly over the whole market. In the end they plan to control all the wars and be powerful enough to even collapse the shinobi villages of the large countries, forcing them to rely on Akatsuki as well. With all that in hand, the group can achieve Step Three, to control the world. It should be noted their goal and plans have been explained by Pain, the man acting as leader. While Pain was separated from the group, he expressed his own desire for the Bijuu, to use them to create a powerful Kinjutsu. However Pain also reported to Tobi, who was revealed to be Uchiha Madara. What Madara wants with the Bijuu and powerful Sharingan of Uchiha Sasuke is unknown. He may share Pain's deadly Kinjutsu plan or have his own goal mind.

     The stated goal of the group is far reaching and it requires the capturing of the bijuu and "Jinchuuriki," meaning the power of human sacrifice. These are the individuals possessing bijuu (tailed beasts) within their bodies. The demons are known by the number of tails their body possesses. When the Bijuu is removed from the Jinchuuriki's body, the host dies. All the captured hosts lost their lives save for Gaara, who was later resurrected with a tensei jutsu. The only remaining Bijuu are the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails within Naruto. Akatsuki's current base of operation is unknown. Previously they met at a cave in the River Country, which was later destroyed. They then moved on to a new base. These bases are used to summon the gigantic King of Hell statue.

Part II Naruto Uzumaki

Once again the team was formed they immediately get a surprise mission to save Gaara from the hands of a mysterious organization called Akatsuki.
