Her goal: to win Sasuke’s heart! The Third Hokage lruka 41% The head ninja and leader of the village of Konohagakure. Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura’s teacher from their Ninja Academy days. Iruka has a soft spot in his heart for Naruto because he also grew up as an orphan. Yakushi Kabuto HA AT Kabuto helped Naruto's team finish the second stage of the exam, but they have no idea that he’s one of Orochimaru’ Sound Ninja spies! This nefarious master of disguise attacked Sasuke and left a powerful curse-mark on his neck. He hopes to mold Sasuke into his successor...assuming he survives the effects of the curse! THE STORY SO FAR. Twelve years ago, a destructive nine-tailed fox spirit attacked the ninja village of Konohagakure. The Hokage, or village champion, defeated the fox by sealing its soul into the body of a baby boy. Now that boy, Uzumaki Naruto, has grown up to become a ninja-in-training, learning the art of ninjutsu with his classmates Sakura and Sasuke. After a long and harrowing journey through the Forest of Death, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura finally secure the scrolls they need to pass the second stage of the Chin (Journeyman Ninja) Selection Exam. With Heaven and Earth scrolls in hand, they head to the tower in the center of the Forest of Death that marks the exam’s finish line. Inside the tower, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura are greeted by a cryptic message from The Third Hokage. They understand enough of the message to realize they should open both of their scrolls at the same time, so they prepare to unfurl them, unsure of what they'll find inside. NARUTO JU} ‘When Naruto was born, a destructive fox spirit was imprisoned inside his body. Spurned by the older villagers, he’s grown into an attention-seeking trouble- maker. His goal: to become the village’s next Hokage. SASUKE *} A/F The top student in Naruto's class, Sasuke ‘comes from the presti- gious Uchiha clan.
