Naruto
SynopsisTwelve years before the start of the series, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konohagakure destroying much of the village and taking many lives. The leader of the village, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails into a newborn, Naruto Uzumaki. Orphaned by the attack, Naruto was shunned by the villagers, who out of fear and anger, viewed him as the Nine-Tails itself. Though the Third Hokage outlawed speaking about anything related to the Nine-Tails, the children — taking their cues from their parents — inherited the same animosity towards Naruto. In his thirst to be acknowledged, Naruto vowed he would one day become the greatest Hokage the village had ever seen.

During an encounter with his brother in Part I, Sasuke is easily beaten, which leads him to leave the village to seek more power from the criminal Orochimaru.His teammates' attempts to recover him from Orochimaru forms a major component in the first half of the Part II plot before he later begins an apprentice of Obito Uchiha, who convinces Sasuke to aid him. But during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Sasuke learns the full truth of his family history and aids his friends against Obito. Though he looks cold hearted,he isn't like that at all.He cares a lot about his friends and never let them down and would always risk his life to protect them.
