The events of this arc take place after those in the "Tea Country Arc" but before those in the "Sasuke Retrieval Arc."
(Here the Tale Begins)
Long ago, thirteen years ago, there was a village called Konoha that was hidden in the leaves. It was one of the five great elemental villages back then. This village, just like the other five, went through some of their darkest times together, including the time of what is now known as the "Kyuubi Attack." This attack came out of nowhere, which means that no prior warning was given about the impending arrival of the Nine-Tailed Beast. The most powerful of the Nine Tailed Beasts, also known as the Kyuubi, was also one of the Nine Tailed Beasts that were created in the world. Just like the other Nine Tailed Beasts, it shared its animal characteristics as well, such as the feature of being a fox. However, contrary to what the name suggests, the nine tailed fox actually had nine tails on its back rather than just one. It was never determined why the monster would destroy the village of Konoha, but many people believe that it was because the monster was as violent as the other tailed beasts. The monster rampaged through the village with brute force. No explanation was ever found. While the fox was attacking, Konoha did not remain standing there. They did not do that. Instead, they engaged the enemy in combat using every resource at their disposal. Every single Jounin and every single clan leader participated in the battle alongside the elite. But even with all of their strength combined, they were unable to defeat It; it wasn't until one man and one woman did that they were successful.
Their names was Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze. Minato, the Fourth Hokage, and his wife Kushina, also known as the "Red Death of Konoha," fought against the beast. Together, they were known as the "Yellow Flash."
To everyone's surprise, they did a pretty good job of protecting themselves against it.
However, even these creatures were unable to kill the demon. This is primarily due to the fact that the Tailed Beasts and the Kyuubi are entirely composed of Chakra. The quantity of Chakra that they possess is primarily responsible for giving the impression that they are made of flesh, despite the fact that they may appear to be made of flesh. And as most people are aware, Chakra cannot be destroyed.
Putting an end to the beast's life was never an option for them, so they decided to lock it away instead. The answer clinched it. Even though they were prevented from killing, they were still given the opportunity to seal It. Sealing the Kyuubi within an older body that had developed without what is known as "Demons Chakra" would result in death, and the Kyuubi would be freed as a result. However, they were unable to keep the Kyuubi contained within their own bodies. Instead, they had to do so within the bodies of newborn children.
That child, was Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. Offspring of Kushina, who was married to Minato.
By that point, a decision and a choice had already been made, and even though they were against their own decision, it turned out that their decision was for the greater good.
Using the very last of their strength, they were able to bind the nine-tailed fox that was residing in their son; however, this came at a price... Their existence.
They died while trying to make that happen, and despite how it may seem, they were thankful that Sarutobi Hiruzen, the reinstated Third Hokage, too Naruto In, and made a promise to them that he would be kept safe as their final words. They died while trying to make that happen.
They passed away.
In the aftermath of the attack, Sarutobi was aware of the villager's animosity towards the Kyuubi, and she dreaded the possibility that the villagers would begin to despise Naruto for what he had done, despite the fact that he hadn't done anything wrong. He intended to conceal the fact that Naruto had sealed the Kyuubi away from the general public by any means necessary. But that didn't work out the way they wanted it to thanks to Danzo Shimura and Hiashi Hyuga. They, along with a few other members of the Civilian Council, leaked this information to the public before Sarutobi returned to the village. This prevented everything from going according to plan.
It was announced that Naruto was a "Demon Brat."
The villagers became increasingly hostile towards Naruto as a result of this, because he had taken away their loved ones. In order to make matters more difficult for Sarutobi, he made the decision to conceal the information regarding the Kyuubi in Naruto from any future generations of the village.
Has that put an end to the hatred? No.
Instead, the villagers instilled hatred for Naruto in their children by teaching them to despise him at a young age and making sure they did so even when they were unaware that Naruto harboured a Kyuubi within him.
At the age of five, Naruto made a request to the Third Hokage to have him taken to the Ninja Academy. The Third Hokage responded to Naruto's request without any hesitation, as he was aware that the villagers' hatred towards Naruto would lessen if he were to leave the village.
As soon as he graduated from the Academy, despite the fact that he had already failed his test twice, he became a ninja.
This is the account of his life.
(We are on the Bridge in Konoha, if you were wondering.)
Our narrative now moves to the bridge in Konoha, where the members of Team 7 are currently waiting for their sensei. In addition to this, we notice that the classic love triangle involving Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto is present.
At the age of thirteen, Naruto had tanned skin, eyes the colour of periwinkle, and hair that was spiked and blonde. His attire consisted of nothing more than a loose-fitting orange jacket with a bit of blue on the top; his trousers were also loose-fitting orange; he wore blue ninja shoes and wore a Konoha headband over his forehead; this was the extent of his attire.
Sakura, who was Thirteen at the time, had fair skin, jade-green eyes, and pink hair that was cut short and reached the end of her neck. Her attire consisted of a sleeveless red kimono that reached with two long flat strands down to her upper knees from the back and front of the garment. A white circle was embroidered in the centre of the garment. She wore a Konoha headband and had a hidden pocket in the back of her shirt. Her shoes were blue ninja shoes, and she wore green bicycle shorts.
Sasuke, who was thirteen at the time, had light skin, dark eyes, and dark hair the length of a duck's arse. His attire was a dark blue T-shirt that reached up to his neck and was buttoned all the way up. In the shape of a bowl, blue ninja shoes, white shorts, and a Konoha headband draped over his forehead were seen on him.
They formed Team Seven, also known as Team Kakashi, when they were all together.
Sakura was attempting to secure a date with her "Sasuke-Kun," but Sasuke's responses to her were always "Hn," which can be translated as "No." Sakura was disappointed.
It appeared as though Naruto was making an attempt to ask Sakura out on a date. This day holds a very, very special place in our hearts. It was the day that he had his first encounter with Sakura. On this particular day, he was going to give her the most stunning and thoughtful present that any man could give to a woman. Even though he had been on a lot of missions over the past few months, he was still unable to afford to buy her a present because he did not have enough money. It didn't matter because most shops in Konoha would just kick him out for saying that he's a "bad nuisance" to their customers in the shops, which meant that he could drive everyone away because of the demon that was sealed inside of him.
Therefore, the only thing he owned that could be considered valuable was the necklace of the Hokage, which Tsunadae presented to him as a reward for beating her in their bet. He recalls Tsunadae telling him that the necklace was a very valuable and treasured item not only of Konoha, but to her as well, because it served as a constant reminder to her that the necklace belonged to the people she cared about. Sakura was Naruto's most loved one, so he wanted to give it to her and surprise her with it. Since the necklace had been handed down to Naruto, who was one of her loved ones, he wanted to give it to her and surprise her with it.
It is now clear to him. Haruno Sakura, the girl of his dreams, started to blush furiously and started to love her blond friend. She kissed him on the lips and said that she accepts his date and that she loves him just as much as he loves her. Sakura said that she loves him just as much as he loves her.
The fact that this wasn't going to be an easy task should've been obvious. Taking into consideration how determined Sakura was to go out on a date with Sasuke this time around Of course. Today was also the day that she had met Sasuke, despite the fact that her heart was telling her that it was something she wanted to believe but wasn't, and that she didn't meet Sasuke on this day but rather someone else, someone who is very special to her.
Sakura, on the other hand, disregarded it and continued her efforts to get a date with Sasuke, all the while Naruto continued his efforts to get a date with Sakura. Sakura had attempted to get a date with Sasuke, but she was unsuccessful each time. She then tried other strategies, such as going for training or lunch, or anything else that was at least somewhat similar to a date with Sasuke. Before Naruto admitted his feelings for Sakura, he made numerous attempts to bring her out on a date. He was persistent in his pursuit of this goal.
"Come on, Sakura-Chan, I only ask for one date at this point," she said. Naruto begged.
"For the last time, no, you're not only stupid but also a loser and an idiot. Sasuke-Kun, on the other hand, is the complete antithesis of you; he exudes coolness and intelligence, and he is in no way a fool like you." A trace of anger could be heard in Sakura's voice as she spoke, but it didn't stay with her for long before she asked Sasuke to go training with her.
"So, Sasuke-sensei.... Would you be interested in going to train with me?" Sakura asked while she was red in the face.
"Hn." Sasuke replied.
Sakura looked down in sadness. Naruto was unable to bear the thought of Sakura being upset, so he took advantage of the situation to ask Sakura out on a date.
"Sakura-Chan, you know he won't ask you out on a date, so why don't we just have a date with each other?" Naruto questioned while wearing a grin on his face.
