Being some of the few Genins available, Naruto, Ino, and Shino are forced to accompany Anko on her mission to the Sea Country to destroy a sea monster and protect a boat carrying gold. However, Anko is acting strange as she begins to remember more and more events from her past, and the connection she once had with Orochimaru.

After Isaribi escapes, Naruto and his team decide to go to the forbidden island and confront Orochimaru and his subordinates. They soon discover that Orochimaru is not the man behind the curtain, but a man known as Amachi. Amachi is the one responsible for turning Isaribi into a monster, so why is she helping him?

Naruto was assigned a special mission to protect the son of a VIP. The boy was a spoiled brat who thought money could buy him anything. Naruto was tasked with teaching the boy about ninja skills, but the boy was more interested in playing video games.

One day, the boy was kidnapped by a group of criminals. Naruto tracked down the criminals and rescued the boy, but the criminals escaped. The boy was grateful to Naruto for saving him, but he still didn't understand the importance of hard work and determination.

Naruto continued to train the boy, and eventually the boy began to understand the value of hard work. He also learned that money couldn't buy him everything. The boy eventually became a skilled ninja, and he was proud to have Naruto as his mentor.
