Background

Naruto is the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. During the Nine-Tails attack on the day of his birth, Minato sealed the Nine-Tails inside Naruto to protect Konoha; both of Naruto’s parents subsequently died. Makoto later reveals this history to Naruto and their friends, establishing Naruto as the child of Konoha’s Fourth Hokage rather than the “demon fox” the village had labeled him 182.

He grows up isolated and poorly treated by Konoha’s civilians, who avoid him, insult him, and identify him with the Nine-Tails rather than as a person 49. At the Ninja Academy, he struggles academically, competes with Makoto for the bottom ranks, and initially cannot even perform the standard Clone Technique 12 54.

Despite this upbringing, Naruto’s central ambition is to become Hokage so that the village will acknowledge him 77. His early chakra-control problems are eventually traced to Kurama’s interference; once Kurama stops obstructing him, Naruto rapidly displays the chakra reserves and learning ability associated with the Uzumaki Clan 169 170.

Appearance

Naruto has blond hair and blue eyes. He is initially notably short for his age, a condition attributed to having regularly gone hungry before Makoto and Sasuke began treating him to meals 136 209.

• Wears a seal on his stomach containing Kurama 164 182.
• Later manifests a bright golden chakra cloak in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode 201.
• Receives an Eight Trigrams Seal-pattern tattoo after becoming part of the Konoha 12’s shared Nine-Tails arrangement 183.

Personality

Naruto is loud, impulsive, and intensely competitive. He enjoys showing off, seeks recognition from others, and repeatedly asks Kurama for power because he does not want Makoto or Sasuke to outshine him 34 200. His confidence can become recklessness, such as attempting to attack Zabuza before understanding the threat 145.

He is also unusually accepting of others. Naruto is unafraid when he first meets Kurama, wants to befriend it rather than suppress it, and even judges it mainly for being less cute than Makoto’s miniature Nine-Tails 166. He later offers kindness to Gaara after Kurama defeats Shukaku, encouraging him to become more positive 217.

Naruto prioritizes his bonds over personal advantage. During Kakashi’s test, he shares food with Sasuke and Sakura even though doing so risks disqualification, and he later declares that Sasuke is more important to him than Sakura when forced to compare them 110 276.
