Naruto Plot Introduction:
This is a world of ninjas. In Naruto's world, the profession of ninja, like the hunters in Hunter x Hunter and pirates in One Piece, is the dream of young boys! However, this time around, the protagonist Naruto is different from Gon who taught himself and Luffy; he graduated from the Ninja Academy of Konoha Village (although it was a struggle, and he was known as the "eternally last place" student). Since childhood, the evil Nine-Tailed Fox has been sealed within him, and being an orphan, Naruto endured the cold shoulders of the villagers, yet he didn't know why. He tried every prank possible to attract attention, but people only distanced themselves more from him. Fortunately, Iruka-sensei cared for him, preventing Naruto's personality from becoming distorted. He's always full of energy, cheerful, and extremely optimistic. To gain more recognition, Naruto's goal is —— to become the Hokage! This is quite a high target, as Hokage is one of the five strongest ninja titles in the world and also the leader of the Konoha Ninja Village. But Naruto doesn't care; he's super confident that he will one day become the Hokage. Go for it, Naruto! Naruto's comrades are classmates assigned by their teacher. Initially, they didn't get along well, but through shared battles, despite still having surface conflicts, they eventually became good partners who recognized and trusted each other. Among them are the cool handsome Sasuke (who bears the mission of revenge) and the smart and lovely girl Sakura.
Kakashi leads Team Seven, consisting of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, on missions and training. Their first C-level mission unexpectedly faced Zabuza, one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. Then a mysterious boy named Haku appeared... Subsequently, Naruto and others participated in the Chunin Exams. During the second round, they met Orochimaru, who left a curse seal on Sasuke. Before the third exam, Naruto trained under Jiraiya and benefited greatly. During the third exam, Orochimaru led the Sound and Sand ninja alliance in an operation to destroy Konoha. Orochimaru summoned the First and Second Hokages to battle the Third, while Naruto met Gaara, the host of the One-Tail... The Third Hokage died gloriously, and Jiraiya went to find Tsunade, another of the Legendary Sannin, to serve as the Fifth Hokage. Naruto learned the Rasengan, and ultimately, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru engaged in a great battle... Sasuke, seeking to kill Itachi, defected to Orochimaru. Despite Naruto and others' efforts, they failed... Naruto then began training with Jiraiya...
The three years of training passed quickly, and a new Naruto returned to Konoha Village. The charming Sakura also learned powerful techniques from her mentor Tsunade. But behind this joyful reunion, an ultra S-class mission awaited them... In the Sand Hidden Village, Gaara had become the new Kazekage. However, Akatsuki's hand reached out first to Gaara. Members of Akatsuki took away the One-Tail from Gaara's body, plunging the Sand Village into crisis, and Konoha dispatched a rescue team... As a result, with the help of the Konoha members, Deidara of Akatsuki, the rebel ninja of Sand Village, died, Chiyo sacrificed herself to revive Gaara who died after losing the One-Tail...
After completing the mission, Naruto and Sakura were forced to bring back Sasuke. Therefore, Team Kakashi reassembled — but the captain was replaced by Kakashi's junior, Yamato (Kakashi was hospitalized due to overuse of his eye), and Sai from the "Root" replaced Sasuke. The mission was to extract intelligence about Sasuke from Orochimaru's spies. However, the discord between Sai and Naruto, meeting Orochimaru leading to Naruto's nine-tails transformation, and the conversation with Sasuke... Due to Sasuke's escape, the mission ended in failure. Naruto, determined to retrieve Sasuke, started new technique training under Kakashi. Just as he began mastering the control of wind-natured chakra, he received a mission to capture grave robbers at the Fire Temple. There, he met Kokuo, who possessed mysterious powers. Kokuo was a pseudo-Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, but also had strength not inferior to the original. His father and Bari collected the chakra released by the Nine-Tails during its attack on Konoha five years ago and sealed it inside Kokuo's body, so Kokuo and Naruto have a telepathic connection. Later, Bari unlocked Kokuo's Five Elements Seal, unleashing locked power. Kokuo sprouted four tails of the Nine-Tails, lost consciousness, and since Kokuo didn't have the necklace of the First Hokage, Yamato couldn't control his power...
At this time, Akatsuki members Hidan and Kakuzu successfully captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, destroying the Fire Temple. Asuma, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Choji fought against Hidan and Kakuzu, and Asuma was currently in danger, revealing the terrifying nature of Akatsuki's immortal duo. Hidan used his Curse Technique to kill Asuma, but due to sealing the Two-Tails, the rest escaped safely. Shikamaru mastered the secret of Hidan's Curse Technique. Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino decided to set off to seek revenge on Hidan and Kakuzu, with Kakashi following. After the battle, they discovered Kakuzu had five hearts... With his new technique completed at about 50%, Naruto set out to support, eventually defeating Kakuzu with his new technique —— Rasenshuriken, and Hidan was blown up by Shikamaru's plan and buried in the family graveyard.
Naruto's new technique was classified as a forbidden jutsu because it could damage his own meridians, and Naruto began training with Jiraiya on a new combination ninjutsu; On the other hand, Kakashi secretly headed towards Orochimaru's lair with the three members of Team Aoba, and Orochimaru was actively preparing for the upcoming reincarnation. On the other side, Ruri using Crystal Release sent subordinates to fight with Kakashi and others, where Ruro wasn't afraid of Hinata's Gentle Fist and injured Hinata. Then retreated, Ruri split into three clones to fight with four people, but his target was Hinata. Hinata used "Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms," but unexpectedly hit the Crystal Release transformed Ruri, instead getting trapped by the Crystal Release. Yamato, Sakura, Sai, and Naruto came to reinforce, but the battlefield was surrounded by Crystal Release. Naruto used the immature combination technique with Gamatatsu "Toad Cannon" to break the Crystal Release, rescuing Hinata. The Three-Tails emerged from another dimension! Ruri's jutsu was ineffective against the Three-Tails, Yagura controlled the Three-Tails to save Ruri; Kigiri released smoke, intending to sneak attack, but Hinata, Sakura, and Sai arrived just in time, preventing the sneak attack from succeeding.
