Twelve years before the start of the series, the ninja village of Konohagakure was attacked by the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. The village was only saved from complete destruction by the actions of Konoha's leader, the Fourth Hokage, who sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails into a newborn: Naruto Uzumaki. Orphaned by the attack, Naruto grew up shunned by most of the villagers, who hated and feared him because of the Nine-Tails trapped within him. Unaware of the monster he contained, Naruto longed for acknowledgment, and so vowed to one day become the greatest Hokage the village had ever seen. Read more...

Though attributing Himawari's power to Kurama's chakra, Jūra remains intrigued. Shikadai notices she can walk fine, her leg healed. Himawari removes Inojin from the tree with her hair, healing his injury as she places him down. She isn't sure if he healed right, and tells the others to take Inojin to a medic. Shikadai and Chōchō ask about her power, but she isn't sure about that as well, intending to take Jūra down. Chōchō doesn't want to leave Himawari behind, but Shikadai agrees with her assessment, earning Jūra's praise. Himawari agrees with Chōchō that she's not comfortable fighting alone, but feels that what her father and brother would do. Chōchō holds her to a promise of trying a new pancake house later, and leaves with her team. Jūra remains puzzled by what influences their decision-making. He wonders how what Inojin did might have sparked the power in Himawari, who punches him quite a distance. He flies up in the air, charging up a Tailed Beast Ball in response to Himawari's. Team 10 notices the explosion. Jūra is curious about her rapid development, and begins putting a bit of effort in the fight, inspired by her power. Sarada believes Hidari's wound to be fatal, and offers to ease his suffering in exchange for telling her about himself and how he can use Chidori. Read more...
