Naruto tells a story of Naruto Uzimaki, an adolescent ninja who constantly searches for recognition and dreams to become the Hokage, the ninja in his village who is acknowledged as the leader and strongest of them all.
Plot
A giant, powerful fox known as the nine-tails attacks the ninja village Konaha, killing many people. In response, the leader of Konaha - The fourth Hokage - seals his powers into his newborn son Naruto Uzimaki at the cost of his life. The Konaha community regards Naruto as if he were the nine-tails itself and often ridicules himself him throughout most of his childhood. A decree made by the current Kage - the third Hokage - forbids anyone mentioning the attack of the nine-tails to anyone else. This includes Naruto, who is unaware of the nine-tails inside of him until he is 12, when renegade ninja Mizuki tells him of it before being defeated by Naruto from the Shadow Clone Jutsu, earning the respect of teacher/sensei Iruka Imino. Shortly after, Naruto becomes a ninja and is assigned alongside Sasuke Uchiha, whom he often competes with, and Sakura Haruno, whom he has a crush on, to form a 3 person team named team 7 under an experienced and severe sensei, the elite ninja Kakashi Hatake. Like all the ninja teams from every village, team 7 is charged with completing missions requested by villagers, such as doing chores or being body guards. After several missions, most notably there mission to wave country as Tazuna the bridge builder's guards, Kakashi allows team 7 to participate in a ninja exam in which they can advance to a higher rank, and thus, take part in more dangerous missions. During the exams, Orochimaru, a criminal at the top of Konaha's most wanted list, attacks Konaha and kills the third Hokage in an act of revenge. This forces one of the three legendary ninja's, Jiraiya, to search with Naruto for his former team mate Tsunade, who has been nominated to become the fifth Hokage. During the search, it is revealed that Orochimaru desires to acquire Sasuke due to his powerful genetic heritage, the Sharingan. Believing Orochimaru will be able to give him the strength needed to kill his brother Itachi, who destroyed his clan, Sasuke eventually joins him after a humiliating defeat at his brothers hands. Tsunade sends a group of ninja, including Naruto, to make Sasuke return to Konaha, but Naruto is unable to defeat him and bring him back to the village. Naruto and Sakura do not give up on Sasuke, however, and Naruto leaves Konaha to train for 2 1/2 years under Jiraiya's Tutelage in order to prepare himself for the next time he encounters Sasuke, while Sakura becomes Tsunade's apprentice.
