Twelve years earlier, a gigantic demonic fox wreaked havoc across the world. When it descended upon the Hidden Leaf Village, the Hokage—its chief and most formidable shinobi—gave his life to lock the beast within a newborn, sparing humanity from annihilation but condemning the infant to isolation. His sacrifice saved countless lives, yet the newborn was left alone.
Years later, Naruto Uzumaki, scorned and tormented by his peers, fills the village with elaborate pranks and vandalism. Yet he persists in chasing a single goal: to become Hokage and earn the respect of those who have mistreated him all his life. He joins Team 7, a squad consisting of the gifted Sasuke Uchiha and the astute Sakura Haruno.
Guided by the detached Kakashi Hatake, Team 7 tackles a succession of perilous missions that compel its members to grow stronger and more united despite their differences. Naruto strives to outshine Sasuke in their rivalry and win Sakura"s affection. However, as the trio confronts imminent danger and death, their haunting pasts threaten to tear them apart.
