Whenever Naruto Uzumaki declares that he will one day become the Hokage—the highest rank a ninja can achieve in the Village Hidden in the Leaves—nobody believes him. From the moment he was born, the villagers have shunned and mocked him. Their hostility is not due to Naruto's loud personality, his troublemaking, or his lack of skill as a ninja, but because a monster dwells within him.

Thus, when Naruto is placed on Team 7—alongside his fellow genin Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, led by experienced ninja Kakashi Hatake—he is forced to cooperate with others for the very first time. Through intense training and dangerous missions, Naruto must discover what it truly means to be part of a team and forge his own path toward becoming a respected ninja acknowledged by his village.
