Twelve years earlier, a massive demon fox unleashed chaos upon the world. When the creature attacked the Hidden Leaf Village, the Hokage—the village’s leader and strongest ninja—gave his life to seal the beast within a newborn child, saving the land from ruin but condemning the infant to a life of isolation.
In the present, after enduring years of rejection and cruelty, Naruto Uzumaki becomes known for pulling outrageous pranks and causing trouble throughout the village. Beneath his mischief, however, lies a relentless determination to fulfill his ambition: becoming the Hokage and gaining the respect of those who have scorned him all his life. His journey begins when he is placed on Team 7, alongside the talented Sasuke Uchiha and the intelligent Sakura Haruno.
Led by the distant and enigmatic Kakashi Hatake, Team 7 faces a string of dangerous missions that push its members to grow stronger and closer, despite their clashing personalities. Naruto seeks to prove himself against Sasuke and win Sakura’s affection. Yet, as the team confronts deadly threats, the shadows of their painful pasts begin to surface, threatening to drive them apart.
