Two and a half years have passed since Uzumaki Naruto left Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf Village, to undergo rigorous training following incidents that ignited his drive to grow stronger. The shadowy group of elite rogue ninjas, Akatsuki, is now advancing their ominous agenda, posing a potential threat to the entire ninja realm.
Despite growing older and the looming dark events, Naruto’s personality remains mostly unchanged — still boisterous and immature. However, he now displays greater confidence and an intensified resolve to defend his friends and village. Regardless of the challenges that lie ahead, Naruto is committed to continue battling for what matters to him, ready to sacrifice his own wellbeing in the ongoing journey to fulfill his dream of becoming Hokage.
