ASKMANGA
Twelve years before the events at the focus of the series, the
nine-tailed demon fox attacked Konohagakure. It was a powerful demon
indeed; a single swing of one of its nine tails would raise tsunamis
and flatten mountains. It raised chaos and slaughtered many people,
until the leader of the Leaf Village - the Fourth Hokage - defeated it
by sacrificing his own life to seal the demon inside a newly-born
child, whose origins are as yet unknown. That child's name was Naruto
Uzumaki.
NOTE: The anime equivalent of Shippuden starts at chapter 245
