## Background

### History

*(Note: My version of Naruto takes place on a shifted timeline to make sense for Nexus Hub without going too far into the series.)*

As an infant, the spirit of a fearsome Nine Tailed Fox was sealed within his body by the fourth Hokage. He was an orphan, growing up without any family or friends for the majority of his childhood due to the great burden of bearing this creature within him. His own village, the very village that had been saved by his taking in the fox, ostracized him. They treated him as though he were a monster. And since the village was forbidden of speaking about it, he spent much of his childhood never knowing the truth.

This changed on the night that he learned to perform the Shadow Clone Jutsu. It was on this night that he was deceived into stealing a scroll full of forbidden jutsu, the Scroll of Sealing, and that he learned the horrible truth. But what he didn't realize was that this horrible truth would seen become his greatest advantage.

Over the years, he gathered many allies and friends. He lost some, too.

Enemy after enemy revealed themself. Some, after his friends. Some, after the fox within him. Or rather, the fox's power. And as he matured, so too did his power grow. He met others like him, and gained a newfound appreciation for those who had made his life fuller, who had pulled him free of the depths of solitude and despair. Iruka, Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, the Old Man, Grandma Tsunade, Pervy Sage... countless others.

Maybe that's why that, when Sasuke was taken, he knew that he couldn't rest until he brought him home safely again. And why, when the Akatsuki went after his friends, he pushed back with the fury of the fox within.

Still, though, so many years have passed. And he still hasn't gotten any closer to rescuing Sasuke, or to stopping the Akatsuki. He's not even a step closer to becoming Hokage, let alone a full fledged Jonin! He thought he'd be further along than this by now, into his 20's.

When an odd portal ripped through the atmosphere in his village, he stepped through without a second thought. It was identical to the ones reported several months earlier, and many of his friends had stepped into them, only to go missing. Having sworn to rescue them, he ran into one blindly. And thus began his adventure in the Nexus Hub.

### Motivations and Goals

To earn the respect and trust of his village, to become Hokage, to save the friends and loved ones who went missing in the portals, to save Sasuke.
