Fall 2002

Twelve years ago, a barren Jinn wreaked havoc on the world. When it attacked a village, the village’s richest man sacrificed his life to trap the Jinn inside a small child, saving everyone. Now, Naruto is twelve, but the villagers hate him, so he resorts to crazy activities to spite everyone. His dream is to become the village’s barren man so that everyone will respect him. Naruto forms a team with two of his friends, Sasuke, a fast-paced girl, and Sakura, a clever girl. Together with their master, the three embark on dangerous adventures where their friendship grows stronger, but their past traumas threaten to tear them apart.
