Naruto is a boy who has a fox demon with nine tails sealed inside him. That demon attacked his village Konohagakure twelve years ago and killed a whole bunch of people. The leader of villagers, the Fourth Hokage, sacrificed his life to get rid of the miscreant and sealed him in newborn Naruto. Nevertheless, habitants of Konoha regarded innocent boy as a demon himself, and thus mistreated him throughout his short life.

Our hero was not aware of his supernatural powers and of presence of a demon in himself before his encounter with Mizuki, a renegade ninja. Then Naruto became capable of Jutsu Shadow Clone technique that creates clones.

Later on Naruto and his friends Sasuke Uchina and Sakura Haruno formed a team named Team 7, under experienced sensei Kakashi Hatake. Their squad was in charge of completing missions for the benefit of their village. During one of their exams, a well-known criminal Orochimaru attacked the village killing their Hokage. This bastard wanted Sasuke Uchiha to become his comrade due to powerful genetic heritage of the boy. Sasuke believes Orochimaru to help him with his revenge against his brother, and joins him. Naruto has been sent to fight Sasuke to return him to Konoha, but with no success.

Then Naruto leaves Kohoha for two and a half years of training under Jiraya’s tuition. Then we see a lot of fighting and events with Team 7 and attack of Akatsuki clan attempting to kill nine tailed beasts including the one sealed in Naruto. All kinds of these events are enacted in Naruto cosplay, with gorgeous costumes and attributes.
