0:00 1:11:06

The most iconic first chapter in manga history. A lonely boy. A village that despises him. A forbidden scroll. And a truth that will change everything. Naruto Chapter 1, "Uzumaki Naruto!" by Masashi Kishimoto, published September 21, 1999 in Weekly Shonen Jump, launched one of the best-selling manga series of all time with over 250 million copies sold worldwide. We retell every panel, every beat, every emotional gut-punch of this masterpiece — from the graffiti on the Hokage Monument to the tears on Naruto's face when he finally wears the headband.
