After the failed attempt to retrieve Sasuke, Naruto learns that circumstances have granted him slightly less than three years to prepare for a confrontation with Orochimaru, who has to wait that time before he can transfer into Sasuke’s body. Naruto must also prepare for his eventual confrontation with Akatsuki, who are after the nine-tailed demon fox sealed within him. To prepare, Naruto leaves the village and undergoes intensive training under Jiraiya. At the same time, Sakura becomes Tsunade’s apprentice, and Sasuke trains under Orochimaru. Thus, each of the three members of the original Team 7 is now training under one of the Legendary Sannin.
When Naruto returns to the village two and a half years later, he meets all of his old friends, who have all been training and growing just like him. Naruto has donned a black and orange outfit and a black Konoha headband since he claims that his clothes got beaten up while training. When Naruto first got back to Konoha he found something changed as he looked at the mountain and saw Tsunade’s face next to the Fourth Hokage’s. He was 145cm (about 4′9″) before the timeskip (Naruto Shippuuden), and 166cm (almost 5′6″) after the timeskip. He also finds out, much to his dismay, that he is the only one who has not progressed in rank during this time. Most of his comrades have since become Chunin, while Kankuro, Temari, and Neji have become Jonin. Gaara even became the Fifth Kazekage after the death of the Fourth Kazekage.
