BASELINE OF THE STORY

Naruto: Shippuden begins with Naruto’s return to Konoha after training with Jiraiya. His first major mission is to rescue Gaara, who has been kidnapped by the Akatsuki. This sets the stage for the growing threat of the organization, which seeks to capture all Tailed Beasts.

As Naruto grows stronger, he faces powerful enemies, including Orochimaru, Itachi Uchiha, and Pain. His rivalry with Sasuke intensifies, leading to multiple confrontations. Meanwhile, the Akatsuki’s influence spreads, culminating in the Fourth Great Ninja War, where Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha attempt to reshape the world using the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

The war introduces legendary battles, including Naruto and Sasuke’s final fight at the Valley of the End. The series concludes with Naruto achieving his dream of bringing peace to the ninja world, setting the stage for Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
