Background / History

Naruto is already a trouble-prone nine-year-old in Konoha when Lin Ke arrives in the world. He envies Lin Ke's Genin forehead protector and secretly follows him, hoping to learn from his abilities and attain the same recognition. Lin Ke initially avoids him, wary of both Naruto's tendency to attract trouble and the Hokage's scrutiny. 4 24

After repeatedly following Lin Ke, Naruto shares a drink with him in an awkward but meaningful first conversation. Although Lin Ke recognizes Naruto's loneliness, he also privately resolves to use Naruto's position as the Nine-Tailed Jinchūriki to advance his own standing while keeping emotional distance. 26 27

Naruto later challenges Lin Ke to a sparring match, surrounding him with Shadow Clones. Lin Ke defeats him easily and concludes that Naruto possesses enormous Chakra reserves but lacks control, technical breadth, and disciplined training. 87

He leaves Konoha to train with Jiraiya, promising to return stronger and defeat Sasuke. Jiraiya acts as a father figure during their departure. 114 After returning, Naruto continues seeking information about Sasuke and Jiraiya from Lin Ke, and accepts Lin Ke's promise that he and Sakura will be able to see Sasuke again. 269 270

Naruto recklessly unlocks part of the Eight Trigrams Seal, causing a six-tailed transformation and hospitalization. His father, Namikaze Minato, realizes that Naruto's impulsiveness differs sharply from his own. 271 Soon afterward, Lin Ke summons Uzumaki Kushina, allowing Naruto to reunite with his mother. 272

Inspired after meeting an adult version of himself who became Seventh Hokage, Naruto trains with greater focus. By fourteen, he can use Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode and begins trying to reconcile with the Nine-Tails, though his ambition to become Hokage contrasts with his poor administrative aptitude. 337

Appearance

Naruto's adult Seventh Hokage counterpart retains a preference for an ordinary orange jacket. 311 The Main World's Naruto is also seen wearing a Hokage robe and cloak during a visit to Lin Ke. 318

• Orange jacket — favored by his adult counterpart despite his position as Seventh Hokage. 311
• Hokage robe and cloak — worn by the Main World's Naruto when visiting the Sixth Hokage, Lin Ke. 318

Personality

Naruto seeks recognition and connection, but initially struggles to approach people directly. His admiration for Lin Ke begins as envy of a Genin's status, while his loneliness is perceptible even when he says little. 24 26 77

He is impulsive, enthusiastic, and intensely competitive, particularly where Sasuke is concerned. He trains to surpass Sasuke, yet his recklessness can create dangerous consequences, as shown when he partially opens his seal and manifests six tails. 114 271

Despite becoming disillusioned by the burdens of the Hokage position, Naruto remains determined to pursue it. Lin Ke continues encouraging him toward the goal of becoming the Seventh Hokage. 350
