He sure wasn't the old Naruto that they knew, but his new look, power and personality captured the people's attention. But was this truly the same blonde kid they had known for many years? Something was indeed different about him. What was this new change? Has Naruto come as a friend or as a foe? *Credits to the owner of the cover photo.
