Full Plot Summary
spoilersNaruto opens with the Nine-Tailed Fox attacking Konoha, sealed within newborn Naruto by the Fourth Hokage Minato at the cost of his own life. As an orphan, Naruto is shunned by villagers until he defeats the traitor Mizuki with the help of his teacher Iruka. He is assigned to Team 7 with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno under Kakashi's leadership. After completing numerous missions, they enter the Chunin Exams. During the exams, Orochimaru attacks, killing the Third Hokage. Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, refuses the Hokage position and begins training Naruto. Sasuke, obsessed with gaining power to kill his brother Itachi, leaves Konoha to join Orochimaru. Naruto fails to retrieve him and, devastated, leaves with Jiraiya for three years of training, returning stronger and older as the story transitions to Naruto Shippuden.
