A demon lurks within this boy who dreams of being hokage. Naruto failed all of his ninja entrance exams, and even resorted to stealing a forbidden scroll. But, with help,he became a fine ninja. Edit
Twelve years before the series began, The Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life defeating the nine-tailed demon fox, Kyuubi, and sealing it inside of the recently born Naruto.
Background Information
Naruto's mothers status is unknown, but she is presumed deceased as she is referred to in the past tense by Jiraiya, someone who seems to know all about Naruto's family yet refuses to tell him anything about it until the "right times". Naruto was born to Yondaime also known as the Fourth Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki. His godfather is the legendary Sannin Jiraiya and is named after the main character in the one and only book made by Jiraiya about a hero.
Kyuubi, in its rampage
The Tale of Uzumaki Naruto!
Yondaime intended for Naruto to be known as a hero to the people of, but due to the fear of the Kyuubi’s powers, Naruto grew up faced with prejudice and hatred. He began hiding his insecurities behind a comic relief attitude. As the series begins, he is seen painting on the statues of the most respected characters in the Naruto world, the Hokages. He is quickly apprehended by his teacher, Iruka Umino, and taken to the Ninja academy, where he and the rest of his class are told to practice their transformation jutsu. Naruto transforms into a naked woman (carefully covered by the jutsu’s smoke), which he calls his Sexy Jutsu.
Naruto's "sexy jutsu"
Later that day, Naruto is forced by Iruka to clan the paint off of the Hokage statues. Iruka, after watching Naruto work, offers him ramen(Naruto’s favorite food), and Naruto asks to see Iruka’s headband, but Iruka Umino refuses, saying that it is only for those who graduate the academy, and that Naruto must earn it. The next day, academy graduation test is a doppelganger test. Naruto complains that he is horrible at the doppelganger, and he proves it true when he creates a dumb and drooling illusion, when he was supposed to create three good doppelgangers. Even after the prompting of the other teacher, Mizuki, Naruto is failed for the third year in a row. Naruto sits on a swing as everyone else goes up and celebrates their graduation with there parents.
As Naruto sat, brooding over his third failing, Mizuki approaches him and tells him aout his similarities between him and Iruka, and then tells him that something that could make him exponentially more powerful is the forrbidden scroll. Naruto Proceeds to steal it, disabling The Third Hokage with the Sexy Jutsu. Naruto then flees into the woods and begins to memorize the scroll. He is only able to learn the first technique on the scroll before being discovered by Iruka. As Iruka prepares to take Naruto back to the village, he is attacked by Mizuki. Mizuki then proceeds to tell aruto about his role as Kyuubi, and as he prepares to deal Naruto a final blow, Iruka gets in the way and is seriously injured. Naruto then runs from Iruka after Mizuki tells him that Iruka hates him for orphaning him(Even though Naruto was not Kyuubi, but was only his vessel. Mizuki left out this part). Iruka then pretends to be Naruto, and as Naruto, leads Mizuki to on a wild goose chase, before attacking him. Naruto sit close by as Iruka gives a speech about how he does not hate Naruto, only Kyuubi. As Mizuki gets ready to kill Iruka, Naruto kicks him. He then shows the one move he was able to memorize from the scroll, the Doppelganger( which,or you cn call it th multi-shadow clone jutsue. Instead of just making illusionary Narutos, he actually makes duplications of himself.) Naruto the proceeds to pummel Mizuki, and Iruka gives him his headband, saying that Naruto has officially graduated from the academy.
The next day, Naruto is taking a picture for his profiling in the ninja bingo book. He does a very over the top look, making himself appear very threatening.
After he tries to submit the picture, it is denied, but before he can complain, a strange boy jumps into the room, attempting to attack The Third Hokage. He trips over his own scarf though, and falls onto his face. His teacher then enters the room, and tells the boy (who he calls Konohamaru) and asks him not to attack his esteemed grandfather. Konohamaru ignores the man, and begins blaming Naruto for stopping him from attacking his grandfather (which Naruto did not do). Naruto then gets into an argument with the boy, which ends with the boy getting a smack in the face. Konohamaru’s teacher, Ebisu, goes ballistic, saying that this demon boy should not even have the authority to touch the Third Hokage’s esteemed Grandson.
After the incident, Konohamaru begins to stalk Naruto, and when Naruto confronts him about it, he asks to learn the Sexy Jutsu from Naruto. Naruto accepts, and he and Konohamaru begin training. Konohamaru is seen doing a very fat version of the Sexy-Jutsu, and is scolded by Naruto. Later, when both of them are taking a break, Naruto asks Konohamaru why he is so obsessed with taking down his grandfather. It turns out that Konohamaru is tired of only being acknowledged as The Third Hokage's grandson, and wants to be known as something more. Naruto then says that if Konohamaru wants to be the Hokage, he has to get through Naruto. He then ends their teaching, saying that from now on, they are rivals. Ebisu then appears, and Konohamaru attempts to disable him with the Sexy-Jutsu, Ebisu says that he would never fall for such a vulgar move (though he is smiling when he says it). Naruto the combines his doppelganger with the Sexy-Jutsu and reveals his new technique, the Harem-Jutsu. Ebisu is (of course) sent limp, and Naruto and Konohamaru leave happily.
The next day, Naruto is sitting in the graduated class, and as a classmate continues to bother Naruto about being in the class, Sakura comes up to him and tells him to move so that she can sit next to Sasuke. Naruto then gets into a glaring conflict with Sasuke, and is accidently pushed intoSasuke, where Naruto shares his first (yet accidental) kiss. All of Sasuke’s fan girls then proceed to beat up Naruto. After Naruto's beating, Iruka assigns them to three man cells. Naruto is, not to surprisingly, paired with Sakura and Sasuke. At lunch time, Naruto ties up Sasuke and pretends to be him so that he can learn what Sakura thinks of him. He then insults her (as Sasuke), but as he walks down the hall, the real Sasuke meets him, telling him that he needs to work on his knots.
The NEXT day, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are waiting for their new Jonin instructor. Naruto decides to pull a prank on him by putting an eraser on the door. Naruto laughs as Kakashi falls into the trap and is hit on the head by the eraser. He then responds by saying he hates them. The team then proceeds outside and tells about themselves. Naruto continuously talks about ramen until expressing his want to be the next Hokage.
Kakashi then show a bit of interest in Naruto’s interests before concluding the session.
He tells them to meet at the training grounds the next day, and to not eat any dinner, unless they like to throw up. When the three students arrive, they are left waiting for a few hours (again) before Kakashi arrives with two bells. He tells his students that they have to get the bells from him, or they don’t get any lunch (the reason for no dinner). He then says for the children to attack to kill, and when Sakura says it would be dangerous, Kakashi calls Naruto a dunce. Naruto takes offense and attempts to attack Kakashi, but Kakashi appears behind him and stops the attack. He then comments that they are listening to him and that he is starting to like them. Everyone then hides around Kakashi, but Naruto confronts him head on. He is quickly defeated, and sent flying into the water by Kakashi’s “thousand years of death” (shoving kunai up his butt). Naruto then uses his doppelgangers to trap Kakashi. As he does one final attack, Kakashi switches his body with one of Naruto’s doppelgangers. Naruto then begins to attack the doppelganger, believing it to be a transformed Kakashi. Naruto then falls into one of Kakashi’s traps, and ends up hanging by his ankle from a tree. He escapes, but lands on another of Kakashi’s traps, and is hanging from his ankle yet again. During his time hanging upside-down, Naruto sees the lunches on three logs. He escapes and attempts to eat he lunches, but is caught by Kakashi and tied to one of the logs. Kakashi then tells them that he is not sending them back to the academy, but that they are so hopeless that they should give up trying to be ninjas…
After declaring the three ninja’s hopeless, Kakashi reveals the point of the exercise, teamwork, and tells Sasuke and Sakura to eat the lunch in front of Naruto, because Naruto tried to eat the lunches. He then leaves, and Sasuke offers some of his lunch to Naruto. Sakura then follows suit, and Kakashi (who was hiding behind a tree) charges at them, but, at the last second, stops in front of them and declares their passing. The lunch eating was actually a test to see if they would share the lunch. He explains that “those who violate the rules and fail to follow orders are lower than garbage; however, those who do not care for and support their fellows are even lower than that.” Naruto is touched by his words, and Kakashi declares that Team 7’s first mission shall begin the next day. Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura begin to leave, but they do not untie Naruto, and he is left tied to the stump.
Team 7 is next seen following an unidentified figure. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are then told to capture it, and Naruto pounces onto the figure. It is revealed that their target is the Fire Daimyo’s wife’s cat. After Team 7 returns for their pay, Naruto complains about their lack of excitement in their missions. After a bit of wearing down, the Hokage gives Naruto a C-rank mission. The mission is to guard a bridge builder named Tazuna. Soon after leaving the village, they are attacked by two ninjas. During the battle, Sasuke hold off the ninjas, but Naruto freezes and is cut by one of their claws.
After Kakashi subdues them, he looks at Naruto’s wound and says that the claw was poisoned. Naruto panics and Kakashi tells him that he has to bleed the wound to get the poison out. Naruto then stabs very deeply into the wound, vowing never to freeze up, and to protect the old man. Kakashi then tells him that, though he extracted the poison, he overdid it and could very possibly bleed to death. Naruto again panics, but, when Kakashi observes the wound, he discovers that the wound has already started to heal. He then tells Naruto that he will be fine.
Tazuna then reveals that he misled Team 7 with the mission parameters. He is truly being hunted by a billionaire named Gato, who makes his money by Marine transportation. The ninja's they just fought had been sent by Gato to assassinate him. Tazuna has in fact been on Gato's bad side because he is building a bridge to the mainland, which would allow non-marine transportation with the mainland. This in fact makes the mission an A-rank mission, instead of the then believed C-Rank. Tazuna had to trick them because he could not afford an A-rank Mission. Team 7 agrees to continue (reluctantly).
They then take a rowboat to the land of waves, and as they begin walking, Naruto attempts to out do Sasuke, eventually stunning a rabbit with a projectile. Suddenly, Kakashi calls for everyone to duck, and Sakura pushes Naruto down as a rapidly spinning sword flies overhead and into a tree, and Zabuza appears on it's hilt.
Naruto sees Zabuza as a chance to prove himself, and he attempts to attack Zabuza, but Kakashi holds him back. He tells Naruto that Zabuza is way out of his league, and proceeds to reveal his Sharingan eye.
As the fight between Zabuza and Kakashi rages on, Team 7 realizes that they may be in a more dangerous spot then they had predicted. With Sakura attempting to protect Tazuna, the threee were in a tighter spot than they could have predicted.
During the bout, Zabuza sent out a water clone Jutsu to kill Tazuna. Naruto and Sasuke's quick thinking barely saved them. Naruto barraged the psychotic killer with all his might and shadow clones, while Sasuke devised a deadly plan. With Kakashi captured, all that the three could do was hope that they could save him with this plan or else they were dead meat. No one had any clue at how dangerous Zabuza really was, though. He captured Kakashi with his water prison Jutsu and proceeded to make him sedentary during the fight. With Sasuke's plan, however, they managed to get him out of the prison and thus turn the tides of the battle.
Chuunin exams
The first test of the chunin exams was an actual test. After a hard time deciding whether or not tostay because for the last question if he got it wrong his whole team would fail. He decide to stay and it's later shown he didn't answer a single question. Everyone who decided to stay passed. During the second part of the test every team had to retrieve one scroll from another team within the Forest of Death. They had to have a Earth and Heaven scroll to pass. In the forest they had to fight Orochimaru. They survuved but with a seal on Naruto.
During the last part of the second test Naruto and Sakura decided to fake one of the scrolls. They were going to try and figure out what was in the other scroll by reading the scroll they had. Luckily, Kabuto managed to stop them. Then Sasuke came back and was dissapointed. Kabuto then decided to help out Naruto and his team. He told them about how to get the other scroll. After a fight of Rain Nin they made it to the tower where they would ake the next part of there test.
After that the third test started. The next was a preliminary tournament. When it was his turn to fight he had to fight Kiba. Even though Kiba thought it was going to be easy but it proved very difficult. With help from fart which stunned Kiba, Naruto, with the help of shadow clones used a new technique that he called the " Naruto Uzumaki Barrage " (a blatant rip off of Sasuke's "Lion's Barrage", to seem cool in front of Sakura) and won the match. When Hinata has to fight Neji, Naruto encourages and helps her telling her about what Neji said about her being weak and useless and not deserving to be in the main branch not true.
Before Part II of the Chuunin Exams
Before the finals each ninja has one month to train for there match. Naruto gets stuck with Ebisu as a trainer and attepts to get out of it in any possible way, but Kakashi says that he is too busy teaching Sasuke, and, him being the only one that would ever teach Naruto in Konoha, he was stuck with Ebisu. For Ebisu's first training excercise, Naruto and he would head over to a spa, in order to learn how to finally control his chakra enough to walk on water.
As an incentive, the water below him would be boiling hot, meaning that he would almost have to be able to stand on it in order to even make it out of here alive. Needless to say, Ebisu was forced to catch Naruto multiple times before he finally almost semi halfway sort of got the concept, of waterwalking, before he saw a large man staring into the women's bath through a tiny hole in the wall on the other side of the room. Seeing this, Ebisu flew into a rage and told the man that that kind of thing was not permissable in his training session, and that he would have to leave. Charging the man with a kunai, he was quickly defeated as the man turned around, barely even noticing him, the giant frog he wa standing on doing all the work for him. Seeing that this guy was tons and tons stronger than Ebisu, the pethetically perverted instructor, he asked for this new man to train him. He begged and begged, only to have him tell him that he was far to busy to deal with a little brat like him, and had more of his so defined "research" to do.
He finally says yes, after Naruto did his Sexy Jutsu, on one condition, being that he had to stay in that form the whole time they were training together. Naruto screamed no, and transformed back, but the old perverted man, who introduced himself as the great "Toad Sage Jiraiya" , and told him that he was no ordinary pervert, that he was a "Mega-Perv", and that Naruto should just leave him alone. Eventually after begging, Jiraiya trained the young aspiring Hokage, and told him a lot of things about chakra that Ebisu had never even seemed to touch on. After Naruto had gotten as close to nailing water walking as Jiraiya thought he could for the day, he asked Naruto to use up every last bit of his chakra, and so he did, by beating himself up for the entire day with his own shadow clones. They did this for many days, and Naruto often pndered the purpoe of such things, but Jiraiya only told him that he needed to expend his chakra every day for him to see something..one day, Naruto's shirt was ripped off, and he noticed something about the seal on Naruto's stomach...the even numbered seal had been covered by an od numbered one, making it near impossible for Naruto to manipulate his chakra. It was a wonder he could do nearly anything at all, but once Jiraiya released the seal, he was fine. And, now that Naruto was fully capable of walking on water, he decided he would train him in another very special art...the art of summoning, one of the most powerful jutsu to be spawned.
Chunin Exams continued
In the finals, Naruto's opponent was Neji. The perfect match, as he was insanely angry at him and so he would be fueled by what Neji had done to Hinata. Despite what Neji said that everybodies destiny is sealed Naruto beats Neji by tricking him which opens Neji's eyes telling destiny isn't always sealed in stone.
When Sasuke's match comes by during the match everyone falls asleep because of Genjutsu. Kakashi, Guy, and Sakura use release to protect themselves from it. Kakashi then tells Sakura to wake-up Naruto and Shikamaru. They then are assigned to go after Sasuke and help him out with the help of a nin-dog. Shikamaru tells them to go ahead so he can fend off a group of sound ninja that are coming after them.
When they get there Gaara sticks Sakura to a tree after trying to help Sasuke. Naruto then fights Gaara. After a few minutes Gaara changes into his true form, the One Tailed Shikkaku. Naruto tries to summon Chief Toad but it's not the chief toad, it's Gamakichi. Then after another attempt he finally summons the chief toad. Chief Toad uses his sword to fight the Shikkaku but needs to hold him down. Naruto transforms them into the Nin Tailed Fox! Toad grabs onto Shikkaku and Naruto jumps on him and fights Gaara. After they both dissapear. Naruto hits Gaara and after they battle a few more seconds they're both to tired to continue fighting.
Search for Tsunade
Naruto is know traveling with Jiraiya to find Tsunade so they can offer her the role of fifth Hokage. During that time Jiraiya teaches naruto the rasengan the justu that the fouth Hokage created.later Jiraiya and Naruto find Tsunade with her student Shizune.

Nearing the deadline Naruto still has not master the rasengan he later learn of Tsunade meeting with Orochimaru and aiming to stop it.
Sasuke Retrieval
When Shikamaru is assigned to retrieve Sasuke from the Sound Four, Tsunade says he must bring Naruto with him. Along with hime, Neji, Choji, and Kiba and Akamaru are brought. When they find the Sound Four they become trapped with a rock prison by Jirobou. Thanks to Shikamaru's instruction, Choji was able to get them out using his Human Boulder technique. They then leave Choji to fight Jirobou so they can rescue Sasuke.
When Shikamaru fails to act like Jirobou to get Sasuke, Kidomauru stays behind while the other two go on. Each person tries to do a sneak attack on Kidomaru, he traps Naruto and his shadow clones and everyone else with his web. Kidomaru decides to shoot at each Shadow Clone until he finds the real Naruto. He fails to shoot the real one leaving two clones left. He shoots at both but they disapear! Naruto comes behind and attacks Kidomaru. This allows Neji to free himself and others. They leave Neji to fight Kidomaru and his six arms so they can go after the other two of the Sound Four.
As they were running Naruto was able to get Sasuke and Akamaru set bombs along the way. When Sakon of the Sound Four gets hit by a bomb he starts chasing Akamaru and wraps him in string. Kiba goes after him as a bomb explodes and Sakon, Akamaru, and Kiba fall down into a canyon. When Tayuya catches up a new ninja appears and grabs Sasuke' coffin. His name is Kimimaro and he reveals himself to be a fifth member of the Sound Ninja Four, now the Sound Ninja Five. Kimimaro then leaves with Naruto going after him. After Naruto finally caught up with Kimimaro, he began fighting him with all of his strength. he even used multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu in Kyuubi form, and still didn't manage to beat the man who fought with bones. In the middle of the fight, Naruto saw Sasuke come out of the strange box seal that he'd been in since Naruto had come after him. Naruto commenced to ask Sasuke what on earth he was doing, and was only replied with a maniacal cackle. He began to pursue Sasuke as he leapt off into the forest behind Kimimaro and started heading towards Orochimaru's lair, or at least where he thought he resided. Naruto commenced to chase Sasuke, of course only to have Kimimaro stop him in his tracks.
Shippuden
For two and a half years Naruto has been training w
