Synopsis

Ten years before the story begins, a masked shinobi released the Nine-Tailed Fox from its host, Kushina Uzumaki. The beast nearly destroyed Konohagakure, but the village leader Minato Namikaze and his wife managed to seal it away inside their newborn son, Naruto—though the sealing cost them their lives. Years of peace followed. Then members of the Akatsuki—a notorious group of rogue shinobi including Pain, Konan, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan, and Kakuzu—launched a major assault on the village. Naruto and the others managed to fight back, but questions linger: why are these supposedly dead shinobi attacking now? The village celebrates the successful defense, but Naruto, who never knew his parents, feels the sting of isolation amid the celebration. That's when the masked man suddenly appears in Konoha. He and his allies are caught off-guard by his strange new doujutsu power.
