Naruto's journey to becoming Hokage has been far from an easy one. On more than a few occasions, the stakes have been set immensely high, usually due to the villains of an arc, who will often push Naruto and his friends to their absolute limit. However, these mischievous individuals may also seek to destroy all of Konoha, or in some cases, the entire world and everyone in it. Other times, the stakes can be a little more personal, where a single fight or tournament can ultimately change the lives of everyone involved, depending on the outcome.
