Story
Part 1:
Naruto Uzumaki is a young boy who has always been isolated from the rest of the village. Leaving in a world where ninja nations reign, he aspires to become the most honored position of them all in his nation, the Hokage, and thus finally be recognized. What Naruto doesnt know, but soon find out is that the reason he is shunned out is due to having the Kyubi, a demonic fox-like beast sealed inside him, which threatened to destroy the village years ago. In his quest to achieve his dreams the troublemaking Naruto manages to become a genin (lower ninja) and along with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, is trained by Kakashi Hatake in order to grow as a ninja.
The story revolves around this team and there growth as ninja's, till eventually Orochimaru is introduced and seeing Sasuke as a promising suspect, he draws him to his side, leading Naruto and Sasuke to battle in the valley of the end.
Part 2 (Shippuden):
The second part of the serie takes place over 2 years after the original, Sasuke having left the village, Naruto decides to do so as well in order to train. Being trained by Jiraiya (a legendary ninja), Naruto becomes a much more skilled ninja and returns to the village of Konoha. Shortly after this the search for Sasuke, and the conflict with the group of rouge ninjas Akatsuki begins. This eventually leads into great conflicts which pit Naruto and Sasuke against Pain and Itachi, the outcome of these fights weighing severely on events to come.
Late part 2 (The 4th Great Ninja War):
After dealing with most of Akatsuki, the one pulling the strings behind the organization reveals himself: Madara Uchiha. Being one of the most powerful and feared ninja in history, all ninja nations unite against him and head to war against his group. During these events the "Gods" of Naruto-verse finally act. Furthermore after the war there is The Last Naruto The Movie which is a canon event.
Part 3 (Years later):
After the events in the manga the series is continued with several events that unfold years later: The Last Naruto The Movie, Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring Month and Boruto The Movie. These 3 events are all canon and mainly expand on the conflict of the Ootsutsuki (clan from which Kaguya, final villain of the manga).
Power
Naruto as a verse is not extremely powerful, but packs quite a punch in it's own right. The verse is littered with lightning timers, and even the low tiers can boast City Block+ to Town level attack potency. It's God Tiers sit at Small Planet+ level, with the verse's absolute God Tier Kaguya, possessing an attack that is at the very least Planet+ (likely far higher though as it was capable of erasing a dimension large enough to contain a planet and it's orbiting satellite). The top tiers of the verse range from Country+ to Continent level, while it's high tiers sit at around Island+ level. Mid Tiers are Mountain level with various feats to back them up.
The universe is no slouch when it comes to speed either. Natural lightning in the verse can traverse cloud to ground distance in a Millisecond. Even the low tiers in the verse range from Supersonic to Hypersonic, while most everyone from the Mid to the Top tiers ranges from Massively Hypersonic to Massively Hypersonic+. The God Tiers are comfortably Relativistic, with Kaguya being even faster than that after becoming exponentially faster.
The verse also possesses a good amount of hax. Techniques such as Illusion Creation are a major part of the universe, with the Illusions of the verse being able to control all 5 senses, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi being able to bypass any physical barrier and put even perfect Jinchuriki in a trance. Several other techniques such as Matter Manipulation, Intangibility, Soul Manipulation, Reincarnation, Reality Warping and Gravity Manipulation and more are also present in the verse.
The God Tiers have large range, with Hagoromo being able to summon souls from the afterlife on a whim, and Toneri being able to sense happenings on Earth from the moon and send meteors crashing to it.
