Background

Naruto was born during the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha. Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki sacrificed themselves to seal the beast's power into him, leaving him an orphan feared as a “monster” by much of the village. Raised by his grandmother until her death, he was left largely alone and routinely abused by villagers. At four, he attempted suicide before Minato appeared and revealed the truth of his parents' sacrifice; Naruto then swore to gain Konoha's acknowledgement and become Hokage. 1 264

Before entering the Ninja Academy, Naruto survived through odd jobs for Yue Guanhai and spent time with the Hyuga household, where he first became closely connected to Hinata. His early eagerness to improve his circumstances often made him vulnerable to Kurama's mischievous advice, including an ill-fated attempt to “marry into” the Hyuga Clan. 3 4

Naruto trained in secret under Minato's guidance, learned the Rasengan and Flying Thunder God Technique, and eventually joined Team Seven with Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. His strength and outlook were shaped by his bonds with his teammates, Jiraiya, Kurama, and fellow Jinchuriki. 16 20 22 60

Orochimaru later tested Naruto's ability to use Impure World Reincarnation. Naruto successfully reincarnated Rin Nohara and then Minato and Kushina, allowing him to build a genuine family life with his restored parents. 129 133 148

Appearance

Naruto is a blond shinobi with six whisker-like marks across his cheeks. After two and a half years of training away from Konoha, he returns taller and visibly more mature. 114 264

• His Sage Mode produces orange markings around the eyes and horizontal, toad-like pupils. 157
• Nine-Tails Link Mode surrounds him in a golden chakra cloak. 193 211
• Six Paths Mode gives him a golden outer robe, magatama markings, a ring-shaped seal motif, and nine floating Truth-Seeking Orbs. 231

Personality

Naruto is defined by persistence. Rejected throughout childhood, he refuses to accept abandonment or defeat and repeatedly chooses to protect people rather than pursue revenge. His determination is closely tied to his dream of becoming Hokage and changing the world for the better. 1 95 214

He is often impulsive, dense in social situations, and easily flustered by praise, causing others to underestimate him. Beneath that foolish exterior, he is perceptive in battle and unusually empathetic toward outcasts, Jinchuriki, and even former enemies. 113 128 149

Naruto's strongest conviction is that hatred creates further hatred. He rejects using Kurama's power merely to destroy, spares Mei Terumi, mourns Fū rather than taking satisfaction in revenge, and repeatedly risks himself to keep Sasuke from being killed. 95 105 138 182
