After the invasion of the Hidden Leaf
Village by ninja from the Hidden Sound and Sand villages, the game
begins with the epic battle between Orochimaru and Third
 Hokage of
the Leaf Village.
As the battle rages between the elite
ninja, Orochimaru reveals he has mastered a horrible new ninja
technique. The Hokage loses the fight, but as he is about to die, he
manages to make Orochimaru’s arms useless, so that he cannot use any
more Jutsu. His sacrifice forces Orochimaru and his lieutenants to
beat a hasty retreat.
With the Sand and Sound ninjas
defeated, the rebuilding of the Leaf Village begins. Jiraiya, a
ninja master, is selected to leave the village and find the next
Hokage – a ninja named Tsunade. He asks Naruto, now a well-respected
ninja, to help him in his quest – and pick up some new ninja skills
along the way.
Naruto’s
new abilities trigger the envy of his best friend & ninja team-mate,
Sasuke, who has his own reasons for wanting power.
Sasuke
is out for vengeance against his brother Itachi, who massacred their
entire family when Sasuke was a child. Sasuke is shocked to realize
he's still not strong enough to go after his brother. He was once
the best ninja of his age, but now Naruto might be surpassing him.
Orochimaru
takes advantage of the situation and asks Sasuke to leave his
friends and his village in order to join his evil clan and become
more powerful. Orochimaru's intentions are not clear, but the
promise of power might be too much for Sasuke to turn down.
Can Naruto and his friends save Sasuke? |
