Naruto (Series)

"When a boy's heart is full of deceit, it burns up, dies, and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once great boy has risen a curse, a wrong that must be righted. The battle between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes the Greatest Ninja. The Purveyor of Good, with a voice of silence, and a mission of peace. This. Is. Naruto."―Said during the "Reveille" trailer for the series, spoken by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
