Just before the protagonist of the series is born, the Hidden Leaf Village is attacked by a massive creature called the Kyuubi, aka the Nine-Tailed Beast. In order to save the village and its people, Minato Namikaze, the Hokage and Naruto’s father, sacrifices his life and seals the beast into the protagonist. Minato’s wife also sacrifices her life in order to save her son.
The titular protagonist continues living in the village, with his mischievous tendencies annoying a good chunk of other people. They also ostracize him for being the Nine-Tailed Beast Jinchuriki (vessel), which impacts him. The story then revolves around the path that he chooses- becoming the strongest ninja and serving his village as its Hokage.
