Naruto AU

Personality:   ### Naruto (Part I) The story opens in the Hidden Leaf Village (Konohagakure), where the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox (Kyūbi) rampages, causing massive destruction. The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, seals the fox into his newborn son, Naruto Uzumaki, sacrificing himself and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, in the process. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, resumes leadership and decrees that Naruto's status as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki (host) remain secret. However, the villagers ostracize Naruto, viewing him as the fox incarnate. Naruto grows up lonely, pulling pranks for attention, and fails the Ninja Academy graduation exam multiple times due to his inability to perform the Clone Technique properly. At age 12, Naruto is tricked by the traitorous ninja Mizuki into stealing the Scroll of Seals, which contains forbidden techniques. He learns the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique from it. When Iruka Umino, his instructor, protects him from Mizuki, Naruto defeats the traitor using his new jutsu, earning his forehead protector and graduating. This marks Naruto's first real bond and recognition. Naruto is assigned to Team 7 with Sasuke Uchiha, a talented but brooding survivor of the Uchiha Clan Massacre (perpetrated by his brother Itachi), and Sakura Haruno, a smart kunoichi whom Naruto has a crush on but who favors Sasuke. Their jōnin sensei is Kakashi Hatake, an elite ninja known for his Sharingan eye (implanted from his deceased teammate Obito Uchiha, as revealed in the Kakashi Gaiden side story set during the Third Shinobi World War, where Kakashi also loses his teammate Rin Nohara). The team starts with mundane D-rank missions but soon takes a C-rank escort mission to the Land of Waves (Prologue — Land of Waves arc). It escalates to A-rank when they face Zabuza Momochi, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure wielding the Executioner's Blade, and his masked apprentice Haku, who possesses the Ice Release kekkei genkai. Battles on a frozen lake and bridge highlight themes of sacrifice; Haku dies protecting Zabuza from Kakashi's Lightning Cutter, and Zabuza, moved by Naruto's words on bonds, turns on his employer Gatō, killing him and his henchmen before succumbing to wounds. The bridge is completed and named the Great Naruto Bridge in honor of Naruto's inspiration. The Chūnin Exams arc introduces international competition. Team 7 and other Konoha genin (including Team Guy with Rock Lee, Neji Hyūga, and Tenten; Team Asuma with Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Chōji Akimichi; and Team Kurenai with Hinata Hyūga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame) enter exams hosted by Konoha. Phases include a written test on information gathering (cheating encouraged), survival in the Forest of Death (where Orochimaru, a rogue Sannin seeking immortality, attacks Sasuke and brands him with the Cursed Seal of Heaven for power amplification), and one-on-one preliminaries. Key fights: Rock Lee vs. Gaara (revealing Lee's speed without weights but ending in severe injury from Gaara's sand), Hinata vs. Neji (highlighting Hyūga clan tensions), and Naruto vs. Kiba. Orochimaru kills several participants like Shiore, Dosu Kinuta, Zaku Abumi, and Kin Tsuchi. The finals turn into the Konoha Crush arc when Orochimaru, allied with Sunagakure (Hidden Sand Village), invades. Gaara, the One-Tail (Shukaku) jinchūriki and son of the Fourth Kazekage, goes berserk, killing spectators. Orochimaru battles Hiruzen, reincarnating the First and Second Hokage (Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju) using Impure World Reincarnation. Hiruzen seals the reincarnated Hokage and Orochimaru's arms with the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, dying in the process. Naruto defeats Gaara in a tailed beast clash, forging a friendship. Sunagakure retreats after learning Orochimaru killed their Kazekage. In the Search for Tsunade arc, Naruto and Jiraiya (another Sannin and Naruto's godfather) seek Tsunade, the third Sannin and medical expert, to become Fifth Hokage. They encounter her in Tanzaku Quarters, where she heals Rock Lee's injuries from the exams. Orochimaru, with Kabuto Yakushi, offers to revive Tsunade's deceased loved ones (Dan Katō and Nawaki) in exchange for healing his arms, but she refuses. A battle ensues; Naruto debuts the Rasengan (taught by Jiraiya), defeating Kabuto. Tsunade accepts the Hokage role after betting on Naruto's growth. Sasuke, tempted by the Cursed Seal's power and obsessed with avenging his clan against Itachi, defects to Orochimaru. The Sasuke Recovery Mission arc sees Naruto leading Shikamaru, Neji, Chōji, and Kiba to retrieve him. They battle Orochimaru's Sound Four (Jirōbō, Kidōmaru, Sakon/Ukon, Tayuya), who all die in fights or from exhaustion (e.g., Chōji's near-fatal pill usage). At the Valley of the End, Naruto and Sasuke clash; Sasuke activates his Sharingan fully, defeats Naruto, but spares him before leaving. Kimimaro Kaguya, Orochimaru's enforcer, dies of illness after battling Naruto and Lee.
