Naruto Uzumaki wants to be the best ninja in the land. He's done well so far, but with the looming danger posed by the mysterious Akatsuki organization, Naruto knows he must train harder than ever and leaves his village for intense exercises that will push him to his limits. Two and a half years later, Naruto returns to find that everyone’s been promoted up the ninja ranks—except him. Sakura’s a medic ninja, Gaara’s advanced to Kazekage, and Kakashi…well, he’s the same. But pride isn’t becoming of a ninja, especially when Naruto realizes that Sasuke never returned from his search for Orochimaru. Plus, the mysterious Akatsuki organization is still an ever-present danger. As Naruto finds out more about the Akatsuki’s goals, he realizes that nothing in his universe is as it seems. Naruto is finding that he’s older, but will he prove wiser or stronger?

Naruto Uzumaki voiced by Junko Takeuchi After two and a half years of intense training, renowned prankster Naruto returns to the Hidden Leaf Village with more power and stamina than ever. He still dreams of becoming the next Hokage, but his goal is getting side-tracked by his old comrade Sasuke, who he needs to rescue from the clutches of Orochimaru. But first, Naruto will have to face the Akatsuki, a powerful new group that's targeting the Nine-Tail Fox Spirit inside of Naruto. Through his training with Jiraiya, Naruto has acquired the means to control the Nine-Tail Fox Spirit, although it is not nearly as easy as it sounds. For the power of Nine Tail is too devastating, he swears never to rely on it again, and trust his own chakra instead. Aside from his strength, Naruto has the peculiar power to befriend anyone. Easing up characters like Gaara and Sasuke, and connecting people and villages despite their past, Naruto has established a formidable network of friends and comrades that can confront any obstacles.

Sasuke Uchiha voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama The dark and narrow path he crawls, just like the "snake" that he once proclaimed himself to be, has finally led Sasuke to accomplish his revenge, only to discover the tragic truth. Now the snake has risen like a young hawk, high up in the sky. With the omnipotent eyes his clan endowed, he sets upon his next path, despite knowing that it will be bloodier than his previous one. While training under Orochimaru to gain more power to avenge his brother, he quickly enhances his strength, with the help of the Uchiha intellect that runs in his blood. Although Orochimaru was planning to take over his body, Sasuke kills Orochimaru, absorbing much of his abilities. With the power of Shirohebi (white snake), the Mangekyo Sharingan he succeeded from his brother, his intuition and godspeed, he has become one of the most formidable ninjas.

Sakura Haruno voiced by Chie Nakamura Naruto's long time teammate, this Kunoichi has honed her skill as an expert medical ninja, thanks to Tsunade. She gained confidence that made her even stronger mentally. Meanwhile, she polishes her taijutsu to become strong physically. Medical ninjutsu is known to be extremely difficult to acquire, but with her natural talent and guts, she learned it astonishingly fast, and has became one of the leading medical ninja in the village. Sakura's exquisite control of chakra has also given her power to even crush a rock with her hands. Her earnest hope to recover Sasuke one day, has motivated her rapid growth as a Kunoichi.
