I'm pretty sure Natruto is literally "about" (about in the sense that it's what starts the story) this. I've only seen a handful of episodes though and it was a while ago so I'm not sure.
Naruto is the host of the nine-tailed fox spirit. Though it has a different name in the show (Kurama) and there are 8 other tailed beasts. So it is similar but different.
