Any Naruto or Bleach fans?
Synopsis of Naruto-
Twelve years before the events at the focus of the series, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked the ninja village
Konohagakure. Powerful enough to raise tsunamis and flatten mountains with a swish of one of its tails, it raised chaos and slaughtered many people, until the leader of Konohagakure – the
Fourth Hokage – sacrificed his own life to seal the demon inside Naruto when he was a newborn. The Fourth Hokage, who was celebrated as a hero for sealing the demon fox away, wanted Naruto to be respected in a similar light by being the containment vessel for the demon fox.
Konohagakure, however, shunned him, regarding Naruto as if he were the demon fox itself and mistreated him throughout most of his childhood. A decree made by the
Third Hokage forbade anyone to discuss or mention the attack of the demon fox to anyone, even their own children. However, this did not stop them from treating him like an outcast and as a result he grew up an orphan without friends, family, or acknowledgment. He could not force people to befriend him, so he sought acknowledgment and attention the only way he knew – through pranks and mischief.
However, that soon changed after Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy by using his
Shadow Clone Technique, a technique from a forbidden scroll that he was tricked into stealing, to save his teacher,
Iruka Umino, from the renegade ninja
Mizuki. That encounter gave Naruto two insights: that he was the container of the demon fox, and that there was someone besides the Third Hokage who actually cared for and acknowledged him. His graduation from the academy opened a gateway to the events and people that would change and define his world, including his way of the ninja for the rest of his life.
[1]The main story follows Naruto and his friends' personal growth and development as ninja, and emphasizes their interactions with each other and the influence of their backgrounds on their personalities. Naruto finds two friends and comrades in
Sasuke Uchiha and
Sakura Haruno, two fellow young ninja who are assigned with him to form a three-person team under an experienced
sensei named
Kakashi Hatake.
[2] Naruto also confides in other characters that he meets throughout the series as well. They learn new abilities, get to know each other and other villagers better, and experience a coming-of-age journey as Naruto dreams of becoming the
Hokage of Konohagakure.
Throughout all of the
Naruto plot, strong emphasis on character development changes the plot, with very few things happening because of chance. At first, emphasis is placed on Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, who are the members of
Team 7. However, other characters are developed, such as Kakashi,
Tsunade, and
Jiraiya, as well as Naruto's peers in the other teams and villages. Several major villains come into play as well, the first being
Zabuza Momochi, a
missing-nin from
Kirigakure, and his partner,
Haku. Later,
Orochimaru, an
S-Class missing-nin at the top of Konoha's most wanted list, and his loyal right-hand man,
Kabuto Yakushi, are introduced. During this same arc, three ninjas known as the
Sand Siblings are introduced. These siblings are from
Sunagakure and include
Temari,
Kankuro, and
Gaara. Later still, a mysterious organization called
Akatsuki begins to pursue Naruto for the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that is sealed inside of him.
Synopsis of Bleach-
The story opens with the sudden appearance of Rukia Kuchiki in Ichigo Kurosaki's bedroom. She is surprised at his ability to see her, but their resulting conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a
"hollow", an evil spirit. After Rukia is severely wounded while trying to protect Ichigo, she intends to transfer half her powers to Ichigo, hoping to give him the opportunity to face the hollow on equal footing. Ichigo unintentionally absorbs almost all her powers instead, allowing him to defeat the hollow with ease.
The next day, Rukia appears in Ichigo's classroom as a transfer student. Much to his surprise, she appears to be a normal human. She theorizes that it was the unusual strength of Ichigo's spirit that caused him to absorb almost all her powers, thus leaving her stranded in the human world. Rukia has transferred herself into a
gigai — an artificial human body — while waiting to recover her abilities. In the meantime, Ichigo must take over her job as a Soul Reaper, battling hollows and guiding lost souls to Soul Society.
