Background

Masahiko sealed half of the Nine-Tails into Naruto after Nanako's death, making him a jinchūriki without the original Nine-Tails Incident occurring. Naruto's childhood was spent in the Land of Whirlpools, where Uzumaki Gosha served as his strict tutor. 274 277

Even as a child, Naruto repeatedly tried to leave for Konoha because he wanted to become Hokage and believed the position should belong to his father, Minato. He initially resisted history lessons and called Masahiko “Old Piggy Pot,” but Masahiko's stories about the Hokages gradually earned his attention and respect. 277 289

Naruto eventually enrolled at Konoha's Ninja Academy. Masahiko arranged for him to join Team 7 with Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, under Kakashi Hatake's leadership. 326 420

Appearance

Naruto has golden hair, six whisker-like marks on his cheeks, and is associated with orange clothing and a Konoha forehead protector. 208

• His Nine-Tails Chakra Mode covers him in golden chakra, raises his hair into two horn-like points, and produces six black tomoe around his collar. 509
• His Sage Mode gives his eyes a bright yellow glow. 484

Personality

Naruto is energetic, stubborn, and intensely competitive. He argues constantly with Sasuke, measures his progress against stronger classmates, and refuses to abandon his ambition of becoming Hokage. 277 400 503

His impulsiveness often causes trouble, from skipping lessons and damaging property to recklessly stepping into dangers during the Chunin Exams. Nevertheless, he is resilient, compassionate toward people such as Tazuna, and capable of working with Sasuke when a fight demands it. 322 435 428 439
