The Shinobi World

As Naruto, Sasuke, and their classmates come of age, they graduate from the Academy and are placed into teams under seasoned jonin—Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura Haruno under Kakashi Hatake. While Team 7 begins its early missions and training, shadows stir beyond Konoha’s walls. Orochimaru, a rogue Sannin, begins to make his move from the shadows, setting his sights on Sasuke and the village. As tensions rise between the great nations and sinister forces begin to converge, the stage is set for the Chuunin Exams, a prestigious event drawing young shinobi from across the elemental nations—and serving as the spark for greater conflicts to come.
