Twelve years before the events at the focus of the series,
the nine-tailed demon fox attacked Konohagakure. It
was a powerful demon indeed; a single swing of one of
its nine tails would raise tsunamis and flatten mountains.
It raised chaos and slaughtered many people, until the
leader of the Leaf Village – the Fourth Hokage defeated
it by sacrificing his own life to seal the demon inside
a newly-born child, whose origins are as yet unknown.
That child's name was Naruto Uzumaki. |
