Background

Naruto is the orphan of the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki of Konohagakure. The Third Hokage and Danzō keep watch over him because of this status. 28 The Nine-Tails attack that killed his parents also left him isolated from much of the village. 140 845

Before entering the Ninja Academy, Naruto spends much of his time alone and is openly avoided by other villagers. He still looks forward to school and treats ramen as a personal comfort. 140 Tsukishiro Yuexi identifies him as her brother and intervenes violently when Mizuki threatens him. 141 419

Naruto passes the graduation exam, receives a Konoha forehead protector, and joins Team 7 with Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura under Hatake Kakashi. 420 His early missions establish his role as the team’s most impulsive member, but also as someone willing to put himself in danger for allies. 433 439

Appearance

Naruto is a blond, blue-eyed boy usually associated with bright, sunny clothing and a Konoha forehead protector. 141 299 420

• Yellow-blond hair. 415
• Blue eyes. 299
• Often wears yellow clothing before changing into white training clothes for Wind Style practice. 614
• Develops a golden chakra-cloaked appearance while using the Nine-Tails’ power. 754 766
• Sage Mode gives him distinctive eye markings and altered pupils. 710 800

Personality

Naruto is loud, mischievous, and highly competitive. He defaces Hokage Rock, evades pursuing Chunin, and turns a Transformation Technique test into his self-created “Sexy Jutsu.” 415 His bravado often conceals a strong need to be acknowledged, particularly by Sasuke. 533

He is deeply loyal to his friends. Naruto refuses Jiraiya’s demand that he abandon Sasuke, even when warned that Akatsuki will target him as the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. 552 He also recognizes Gaara’s loneliness as similar to his own and treats him as a friend rather than an enemy. 563

Loss strengthens rather than breaks his resolve. After witnessing Jiraiya’s death, Naruto grieves alone, but Iruka and Yuexi help him refocus on honoring his mentor through continued effort. 688
