I got into Naruto ever since it aired on Toonami, and me and my friends would discuss each episode during after school ( good times ). I stopped watching it when they took it off of Toonami and put it on Disney xD because for some odd reason it didn't feel the same. Later my friend let me borrow the Naruto book that had the Naruto vs Pain fight.
I was awed at how much the series had changed and I read the next book he gave me when Obito told Sasuke the truth about Itachi and then down the line I got back into the series by watching Episode 200 on Naruto Get all the way to the latest episode at the time and then started reading the manga and I got hooked again when I saw Naruto's Bijuu Mode.=D
