A boy with black hair and violet eyes is currently running for his life through Konoha, desperately trying to get away. He suddenly hits a dead end and looks behind him to see an angry swarm of villagers ready to make him pay for something he didn't do.
In a morning flashback, someone knocks on the boy's door. He gets up from his bed, answers the door, and sees a woman with long black hair and black eyes, wearing a dark purple blouse with a red-plum skirt and a light-yellow apron. The woman, named Mikoto, says in an excited tone, "Happy birthday, Naruto. I hope you can come over for breakfast. I will make something special for you." The sleepy boy, now named Naruto, responds, "Ok, Mikoto, I will be there. I just need to get ready first," before closing the door.
Naruto is walking to Mikoto's house when he is about to knock on the door. It opens abruptly with Mikoto's son, Sasuke, who wishes him a happy birthday and invites him in. As he walks in, he sees Mikoto's husband, Fugaku, and Sasuke's older brother, Itachi, sitting and eating quietly. Until he sits down, and they notice him and tell him a happy birthday. Fugaku then says with a smile on his face, "Hey Naruto, I have a little present for you after we get done eating." Then Naruto says in an excited tone, forgetting he was sleepy a moment ago, "You have a present for me. Is it a cool jutsu or something?" Fugaku then calms him down and tells him to eat his food.
After they are done eating, Fugaku tells Naruto to meet him outside. Naruto goes running outside happily as he sees Fugaku standing there waiting for him. Fugaku says in a serious tone, "Today I will be teaching you the multi-shadow clone jutsu. You said you had a hard time doing the shadow clone jutsu because you have too much chakra and can't do a regular shadow clone." Fugaku then shows him the hand sign, and in Naruto's first time trying the jutsu, he makes over 100 clones. Fugaku, With his eyes widened, checked Naruto to make sure he was ok, then said in an urgent tone, "Naruto, are you ok? How are you still standing? You shouldn't even be able to move after creating 100 shadow clones, dispels it now." Naruto then dispels the jutsu and gets a huge headache from getting all the memories from the clones or him.
Fugaku believes that Naruto has a lot of chakra and could be manipulated to turn against the village, potentially becoming a weapon for their cause. Unaware of the villagers' hostility towards him, Naruto uses the money he received for his birthday to eat at Ichiraku Ramen. Little does he know, the villagers are looking at him with hatred in their eyes, planning to make it the worst day of his life.
