Background
Naruto was born during the Nine-Tails' Rampage, after Obito Uchiha extracted the Nine-Tails from Kushina Uzumaki. Minato Namikaze sacrificed his life to seal the beast into Naruto, while Kushina entrusted Naruto and his red-haired elder brother, Ryunosuke, to Hiruzen Sarutobi. 1
Although Naruto is the Fourth Hokage's son, the village's hatred of the Nine-Tails is transferred onto him because he is its Jinchūriki. 12 Ryunosuke repeatedly acts to shield Naruto from this stigma, most notably transforming into the Nine-Tails during the Kumogakure conflict so that others would identify him—not Naruto—as the “Demon Fox.” 222
Naruto grows up with an unwavering wish to become Hokage. When Minato's old Hokage robe is placed on him, he immediately declares that he will become Hokage as well. 341 After Ryunosuke leaves Konohagakure, Naruto promises to become a shinobi who can stand on his own so his brother will return. 394
Appearance
Naruto is a blond-haired boy with azure-blue eyes. After three years of training, he returns noticeably taller and more robust, with a more mature expression. 1 562
- Golden hair 1
- Azure-blue eyes in his normal state 424
- Red, vertically slit pupils when Nine-Tails chakra erupts 424
- A red robe when returning from Mount Myōboku to face Pain 623
Personality
Naruto is impulsive, outspoken, and quick to act when someone is threatened. He challenges Kankurō without a strategy, yet Sasuke's intervention highlights Naruto's willingness to confront stronger opponents rather than back down. 438
He is exceptionally stubborn and refuses to accept being dismissed as worthless. After Kimimaro repeatedly defeats him, Naruto vows to continue training until he earns recognition: “I am not trash, I am Naruto Uzumaki!” 521 His emotions can also endanger him; Sasuke's apparent death causes the Eight Trigrams Seal to loosen and nearly sends him into an uncontrollable rampage. 424 626
Naruto trusts Ryunosuke completely and eagerly follows his brother's advice, whether it concerns training, becoming Hokage, or pursuing Sakura. 342 525 He is deeply loyal to friends and comrades, particularly Sasuke, whose injury and later defection become major motivations for Naruto's growth. 424 517
