Background / History

Naruto grew up isolated, bullied, and impoverished after being placed in an orphanage. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzō deliberately spread rumors surrounding him while monitoring him, intending to make themselves appear as his only source of support and instill the Will of Fire in him. Shamu intervened when Naruto was five, connecting him with Sasuke and gradually changing the course of his upbringing. 673

He first befriended Sasuke after Sasuke defended him from other children. Though Naruto remained sensitive to rejection, Sasuke's protection and Shamu's guidance gave him companionship he had lacked. 23 Naruto later learned from Shamu that he was the Nine-Tailed Jinchūriki, that the Nine-Tails' chakra leakage caused his poor chakra control, and that the Third Hokage had lied about his parents and mishandled his inheritance. 54

Naruto's behavior and academic performance improved after forming bonds with Sasuke, Hinata, and Shamu. He stopped relying on pranks to attract attention and became more confident and mentally healthier. 30 40

After the Third Hokage's death, Naruto was no longer under Anbu surveillance. He openly called Minato his father for the first time, strengthening their family relationship. 427

Personality

Naruto is compassionate, protective, and intensely loyal to the people he considers family. As a child, he worried that Sasuke might become an orphan like him; later, he risked himself to save Sasuke during Zetsu's attack. 24 114

His early mistreatment left him highly sympathetic toward people with tragic pasts, including Gaara. This compassion can become excessive: Shamu and Minato identify Naruto's tendency to trust or forgive dangerous people without adequate investigation as a serious weakness, particularly where Hinata, Boruto, and Himawari are concerned. 482 1124

Naruto is competitive with Sasuke and eager to demonstrate his growth, but their rivalry is founded on mutual respect and cooperation. 527 1103
