Demons that once nearly destroyed the world are revived, and only a sealed seal can stop them. The seal can be performed solely by Shion, a shrine maiden from the demon realm who can both seal demons and foretell human deaths. Naruto is tasked with guarding her, but Shion predicts Naruto’s own death. To defy the prophecy, Naruto must stay close to Shion despite the risk that the demon will target her, which could trigger the apocalypse. He decides to confront the foretold fate.
