Episode Summary for Episode 1 - Uzumaki Naruto Arrives!!.
Twelve years ago, a nine tailed fox demon attacked the ninja village of Konahagakure, killing hundreds of people and tearing whole families apart. The fox was finally defeated through the heroic effort of a man called Hokage the Fourth, who could not destroy the fox, but could only seal it inside of a living vessel. He did so, trapping it inside of a new born baby's navel, then the Hokage died. That boy happens to be the main character of this story: Uzamaki Naruto. Flash forward twelve years: Naruto, now an adolescent, is defacing Konahagakure's village monument, the faces of the Hokages carved on the mountainside (think Mount Rushmore).IN PAINT! Not only that, but he's skipping ninja class to do it. His teacher, Iruka, angrily forces Naruto to clean it up, but then softens up a bit, because Naruto is an orphan, just like him. So he treats Naruto to his favorite food (ramen) after the mess is cleaned up. Naruto reveals his reason for defacing the monument. He wants to be a Hokage. And when he does, he'll surpass everyone who came before him. The next day, the whole school takes the ninja test, to see if they are ready to become full fledged ninjas. Naruto fails miserably. After the test, one of his teachers, Mizuki, tells him how he can pass the test with ease. All Naruto has to do is steal a secret scroll from the house of the current Hokage. The technique that Naruto needs to know is written inside of the scroll. Naruto steals it, and hides in the forest to memorize the technique. Turns out that the scroll contains a forbidden ninja art, and Mizuki just wanted to use it for himself. Iruka arrives just in time to warn Naruto, but too late to keep Mizuki from revealing a terrible secret. Naruto is really the reincarnation of the demon fox that destroyed the village, including Iruka's family. Iruka knows, but he doesn't blame the deed on Naruto. He really likes and respects him. The demon fox did it, not the boy. Mizuki is about to kill Iruka, but Naruto uses his new technique, the art of the doppleganger, to whoop Mizuki's sorry behind. Iruka proclaims that Naruto is qualified to be a ninja. He has passed the test. :)
