"Nine tails. Naruto is a young shinobi with an incorrigible knack for mischief. He's got a wild sense of humor, but Naruto is completely serious about his mission to be the world's greatest ninja! Naruto faces one of the most terrifying tests yet when one of his friends falls in battle. How far will he go to protect his friends? Will he really lose control to the powerful nine-tailed fox spirit trapped inside him? Or can he contain it and become a hero?" -- p. [4] of cover.
