A formidable creature known as the Nine-Tails launches an assault on Konoha, the hidden leaf village located in the Land of Fire, one of the prominent Five Great Shinobi Nations in the Ninja World. To counter this threat, Konoha’s leader at the time, the Fourth Hokage, confines the beast within the body of the newborn Naruto Uzumaki, turning Naruto into the beast’s vessel. This act costs the Fourth Hokage his life, necessitating the return of the Third Hokage from retirement to lead Konoha once more. As he grows up, Naruto faces ostracism from the villagers, who regard him as if he were the Nine-Tails that once attacked them.
