Konohagakure

Tsunade remains the fifth Hokage, leader of the Konoha ninja (she also remains a degenerate gambler, addicted to the numbers game), while her old comrade Jiraiya has finally returned to resume his occasional role as her right-hand man. Many of Naruto’s former teammates have worked forward in their training to rise to the rank of Chunin, and Naruto himself isn’t quite the scrub he used to be.

Naruto himself is the reason for the time jump – it’s his name on the cover, after all. For two years and change, he’s been wandering outside the village, training alongside his master Jiraiya to learn new techniques and refine his raw, barely-controlled power. In particular, Jiraiya wants to give Naruto full control of the demon fox inside of him, although that’s proving to be easier said than done. Officially, Naruto still holds the rookie rank of Genin, although he’s easily a match for most of the old friends that technically outrank him.

In the meantime, Naruto remains as dedicated as ever to bringing his friend Sasuke Uchiha back home to the village, although Sasuke himself has other ideas (and the power to back them up). Their last confrontation, at the end of part one, ended with Sasuke still following Konoha’s nemesis, Orochimaru.

While Naruto retains much of his fun-loving spirit, he’s grown up a fair bit since we last saw him. He’s even toned down his outfit a little (dark brown accents instead of blue, and the base color seems to be a slightly less shocking shade of orange). Jiraiya’s done his best to teach him the virtue of restraint, especially when it comes to his dangerous Rasengan technique.
