For the first twelve years of his life, an orphaned boy named Naruto Uzumaki lived a life of enduring the apparent unsolicited hate from a majority of the villagers of the Hidden Leaf Village with a strong ambition to be acknowledged. Caught by his teacher Iruka Umino while defacing the Hokage monument, Naruto tells his teacher that he did it for attention and of his dream to become a Hokage to win everyone's respect. However, after failing to graduate from the Ninja Academy for the third year in a row for failing to use a clone jutsu, Naruto is approached by another instructor named Mizuki who talked him into stealing a scroll from the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi that contained the jutsus of his predecessor. Iruka finds Naruto and protects him from Mizuki, revealed to have used the boy to get the scroll with the intent to give it to a nation he is to defect to. During the confrontation, Mizuki reveals the truth that Naruto is the host of the Nine-Tails, a fox-like monster that attacked the village twelve years ago and took the life of the Fourth Hokage who managed to seal the Nine-Tails within the newborn Naruto. Horrified of this revelation, Naruto ran off and only returned when Iruka, whose parents were killed by the Nine-Tails, refuses to accept Naruto as anything but his student. Touched by his mentor's words, Naruto defeats Mizuki using the Shadow Clone jutsu he learned from the scroll. Due to the act of saving his life and making an outstanding performance proving him worthy of being a ninja, Iruka allows Naruto to graduate.

As their class mates get to meet up with their Jonin instructors who will deem them genin, Team 7 are forced to wait for theirs. Eventually, with Naruto setting up a trap, he and his group meet their instructor: Kakashi Hatake. Appearing to be a slacker, Kakashi takes the day to let his students each introduce themselves and tell of their desires with Naruto stating his dream to become Hokage while Sasuke states his intent to restore his clan by killing someone. With the introductions over, Kakashi tells Team 7 that their test will begin tomorrow and that they are not to eat before then. The next day, forcing Team 7 to wait for him while revealing himself to be a skilled fighter, Kakashi explains the rules of the test that the students must attempt to take one of two bells from his person with two having a likely chance to pass while the remaining child will be sent back to the academy. While Sasuke and Sakura hide themselves away as the test begins, Naruto makes the bad move to face Kakashi with his Shadow Clone jutsu countered by Kakashi and then falling for a snare. Taking advantage of Kakashi lecturing Naruto about falling for obvious traps, Sasuke seemingly takes out instructor shuriken and kunai knives.

5 	"You Failed! Kakashi's Final Decision""Shikkaku? Kakashi no Ketsuron" (失格?カカシの結論) 	 	(Uncut) 	 	 	
After his sneak attack failed, Sasuke attempts to fight Kakashi before being buried up to his neck in earth. From there, Kakashi subjects Sakura to a genjutsu of Sasuke bleeding to death before dealing with Naruto when he decides to help himself to everyone's lunches. Once the time of the test is up, Naruto tied up to a pole, Kakashi deems all members of Team 7 utter failures as he reveals that his test was unpassable because the three lacked skills in team work. From there, Kakashi explains the essential need for ninja groups to work as a unit while stating his own ideal that while ninja who break the rules are scum, those who abandon their friends are worse than scum. From there, Kakashi offers to give Team 7 one final chance and leaves them with one order to follow: not to feed Naruto. However, knowing that they need Naruto at full strength for what Kakashi has in store for a make-up test, Sasuke and Sakura fed their friend. Having watched the entire event, Kakashi dramatically appears before them. As Kakashi apparently prepares to punish them all, Sakura stands up to him explains that they gave Naruto food because he's a member of their team. Ultimately, finding a group who actually met his test's standards, Kakashi reveals Team 7 have passed his test and accepts them as his students.

After Team 7 completes a few miscellaneous D-ranked missions, Naruto relentlessly asking Hiruzen for a higher level mission, they are assigned to escort a bridge builder named Tazuna back to the Land of Waves. But on their way, Team 7 is ambushed by the Demon Brothers, two chunin from the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water. Though it appeared they killed him as they go after Team 7 and Tazuna, the Demon Brothers learned that Kakashi was aware of their presence and faked his death to catch them off guard while seeing his students in action. While applauding Sasuke for holding off the Demon Brothers and Sakura for guarding Tazuna, Kakashi expresses disappointment in how Naruto poorly handled the situation and got himself poisoned. But refusing to quit the mission, with Sasuke's taunting getting to him, Naruto uses a kunai to stabs his hand to bleed out the poison while making a promise to never back down. Though Kakashi decides to have Naruto's self-inflicted wound dealt with, he is amazed by the boy's rapid healing while wondering if it is the Nine Tails's doing. Elsewhere, a man named Gato confronts Demon Brothers' boss for his subordinates' failure to assassinate Tazuna. Threatening Gato with his large sword, the figure decides to handle the job personally.

After using his new power to punch Haku while dispelling his mirrors, Naruto regains control of his himself when Haku's mask breaks away, recognizing him as the boy he previously conversed with. Asking Naruto to kill him as he failed Zabuza, revealing that he inherited his ability from his mother, Haku reveals that he once lived in the Land of Water where people with Kekkei Genkai are forced to conceal their powers out of fear of persecution.

Meanwhile, having sensed Naruto only released a fraction of the Nine Tails's chakra, Kakashi summons a number of dogs to find and restrain Zabuza. At that time, Haku manages to convince Naruto to kill him before seeing Kakashi about to finish Zabuza off with his Lightning Blade.

Now fired by Gato, Zabuza no longer sees a reason to fight Kakashi while unfazed at his former employer kicking Haku's corpse around. Though Zabuza sees Haku as nothing more than a tool, he is moved by Naruto's words as he tearfully acknowledges Haku's sacrifice. With Kakashi telling Naruto not to interfere out of respect, Zabuza is allowed to redeem himself as a ninja. With only a kunai in his mouth, enduring multiple stabs and beatings, Zabuza manages to break through Gato's men and kills the crime lord before collapsing as Gato's forces retreat when villagers arrive. Soon after, Team 7 are relieved to discover that Sasuke is still alive as the senbon were laced with a sleeping drug. Honoring Zabuza's dying wish to place him by Haku, Kakashi assures his former enemy that he and Haku will go to the same place. Soon after he and Team 7 give the two rouge ninjas a burial with Zabuza's Kubikiribōchō as a grave marker, Naruto express his distain for the notion that ninjas should strive to become merely tools and declares that he will find his own Ninja Way. As Team 7 leave for the Hidden Leaf, Tazuna proclaims to the village that the bridge will be called the Great Naruto Bridge to signify the strength that Naruto gave Inari, who in turn gave to the whole town.
