Naruto grew stronger at the Academy while befriending Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji, as the village’s treatment of the Uchiha worsened. After Danzo stole Shisui’s eye and Shisui died, Obito recruited Itachi and Danzo for a planned purge, and Naruto offered Sasuke a way to save Itachi.
Naruto exposed Obito’s plot and helped the Uchiha defeat Danzo’s attempt to exterminate them, while uncovering the truth about his parents and warning the clan that danger remained. He trained Sasuke in the Railgun and used a genjutsu of the clan massacre that awakened Sasuke’s Sharingan.
Team 7 took a dangerous mission in the Land of Waves, where they faced Zabuza, Haku, Gato, and an attack by Root. After the bridge was completed and Zabuza and Haku died, Kakashi reported Root’s assault to Hiruzen, who turned his attention to Danzo.
Naruto led Sasuke and Hinata through the Chunin Ninja Exams while confronting Orochimaru and revealing his knowledge of future threats. The exams ended in a coordinated attack on Konoha, as Naruto and his companions pursued Gaara and Fugaku questioned Naruto’s motives.
Naruto exposed Konoha’s leaders during Orochimaru’s attack, then helped bring Tsunade into the Hokage position. After confronting Jiraiya and speaking with Kurama, Naruto left Konoha to join Orochimaru and help purify his soul.
Naruto and Orochimaru pursued Sage Mode and experiments to save Kimimaro before Obito’s actions sent Naruto and Sasuke to a parallel world. There, Naruto rescued Hinata and confronted Menma, whose battle with Naruto remained unresolved.
Naruto and Sasuke awakened Sasuke’s Mangekyō Sharingan through an elaborate illusion, then infiltrated the Akatsuki to hunt Obito. Obito and Black Zetsu vanished into an unfamiliar world, while Naruto and Sasuke continued searching for White Zetsu.
Naruto and Sasuke were pulled into another world, where they encountered alternate versions of familiar people and learned that Obito the Wanderer planned to awaken the God Tree. They joined Pain the Wanderer and Jiraiya the Wanderer to find Konan and investigate Obito’s plans, while Obito the Wanderer began stirring up wars.
Naruto and Sasuke helped the Demon Tribe survive Danzo the Wanderer’s black-armored army, then faced Danzo himself after bringing Kimimaro the Wanderer into their circle. Danzo appeared to die when Sasuke and a warrior struck him, but the arc left his Mangekyō Sharingan and the identity of the headless corpse unresolved.
Danzo the Wanderer escaped Naruto and the others, while Deidara and Sasori’s attacks on the Demon Tribe were defeated. Meanwhile, Obito and Kakashi sought answers about Obito the Wanderer’s Rinnegan and learned that his choice in the Genjutsu World would shape its powers.
Naruto and Sasuke confronted Danzo and the Akatsuki in the Wanderer World while Naruto uncovered the God Tree’s connection to their arrival. After Rin sacrificed her soul to stop Naruto from taking control, Naruto defeated Obito the Wanderer, secured Rin, and absorbed the God Tree.
