I recently started reading the manga last December from chapter 1 and I must say one thing. This story will be remembered forever, as a person who only kept up with manga for 1 year, I feel for you guys that have read it from the beginning. Naruto had all the qualities that made the reader hooked on to continue reading it. Dreams, friendships and even betrayal, Naruto covered all of it. The story constantly kept you wondering how will Naruto become Hokage, and even the characters made an attachment to yourself. I came into reading this manga not expecting much, but I was completely wrong. It offered so much enjoyment that reading through each chapter weekly wasn't enough making me crave even more. Lastly, I just want to thank the author Masashi Kishimoto for the great experience he has embedded in the lives of everyone who has followed this excellent series. I myself, will never forget such a beautiful story for the rest of my life.
