Background & History

Naruto is born during the Nine-Tails Attack. Obito Uchiha takes him hostage shortly after Kushina gives birth, forcing Minato Namikaze to confront the attacker 163. Kushina survives, but she is separated from Naruto and later observes him from afar while he lives under Hiruzen Sarutobi's protection 197 217.

At age six, Naruto enters Konoha's academy alongside Sasuke Uchiha and other prodigies 225. He initially fails the graduation examination, then proves himself by learning the Multi Shadow Clone Technique and graduates after Iruka acknowledges his growth 322. During this period, Naruto repeatedly bullies the isolated Sasuke, troubling Kushina when she witnesses his behavior 322.

Naruto's early battles reveal his dependence on the Nine-Tails' chakra. He defeats Neji by breaking the Gentle Fist's chakra-point restrictions with the fox's power, then demonstrates the ability to create hundreds of Shadow Clones 355 357. His rivalry with Sasuke escalates into a clash at the Valley of the End, where Naruto loses control and enters a four-tailed transformation before Mingren intervenes 389 390.

Jiraiya gives Naruto the ancestral Mount Myōboku summoning scroll, beginning the next stage of his training 349. Naruto later masters the Rasengan, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, Sage Mode, and controlled Nine-Tails chakra while pursuing the strength needed to protect his comrades and save Kushina 434 461 523 571.

During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto learns from Minato that he is the son of Minato and Kushina and that the Nine-Tails was sealed inside him to prepare for Obito's eventual return 523. He becomes a major Allied Shinobi Forces combatant, shares Kurama's chakra with the alliance, gains Six Paths power, and fights alongside Sasuke against Madara and Mingren 619 646 689.

After the war, Naruto is permanently transformed into Naruko Uzumaki through the Shadow Mirror Transformation. Though shocked and physically impaired by the loss of her right arm, Naruko accepts the new body without abandoning the goal of becoming Hokage and defeating Mingren 695 701. She begins cultivating a prosthetic limb with White Zetsu cells and continues training despite her injury 709.

Appearance

As Naruko, Naruto has a slender female body, golden twin tails, sky-blue eyes, and whisker-like facial markings. Her right arm is missing below the elbow, leading her to pursue prosthetic-limb cultivation 695 709.

• Golden twin-tail hairstyle 695 750
• Blue eyes and fox-whisker facial markings 750
• Permanently female physiology following the transformation 695 701
• Missing right arm; remains active in training and combat 695 709

Personality

Naruto is driven by an unwavering wish to become Hokage. Even after becoming Naruko and struggling with the practical realities of her changed body, she reinforces her identity as Uzumaki Naruto and returns to training rather than giving up 701.

He is outspoken and impulsive, often reacting emotionally when Sasuke or his friends are threatened. This volatility can feed the Nine-Tails' influence, as seen when anger drives him into uncontrolled four- and seven-tailed forms 390 521. At the same time, Naruto develops greater tactical awareness over time, notably defeating Hiruko with a Shadow Clone rather than confronting him directly 579.

Naruko remains direct in moments of danger. Despite fearing Mingren, she instinctively warns him when Shin Uchiha uses the blade-control ability that had previously injured her 715.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Academy and Chunin Exam

Naruto graduates by mastering the Multi Shadow Clone Technique, then proves the scale of his Nine-Tails chakra during the Chunin Exam. His victory over Neji exposes the central contradiction in his belief in effort: he overcomes the Gentle Fist through Kurama's sealed power rather than ordinary training alone 322 355.

Sasuke Retrieval Conflict

Naruto confronts Sasuke at the Valley of the End to bring him back to Konoha. The clash becomes catastrophic when Naruto loses control of the Nine-Tails and reaches four tails; Mingren overwhelms him, establishing the immense gap between them 389 390 391.

Jiraiya's Training and Akatsuki Battles

After receiving Jiraiya's summoning scroll, Naruto advances through Rasengan training, Wind Release, and Rasenshuriken. He defeats Kakuzu with Rasenshuriken but is forced to recognize the technique's limitations when Yugito survives it 349 443 444.

Sage Training and the War

Jiraiya's death leaves Naruto depressed, but Iruka helps him recover his resolve. Naruto trains on Mount Myōboku, learns Sage Mode, discovers his parentage through Minato, and enters the Fourth Great Ninja War as one of the alliance's central fighters 461 523.

Final Battle Against Mingren

Naruto allies with Sasuke and other former enemies to oppose the Amegakure Emperor. He gains Six Paths-level abilities, fights with Minato and Sasuke, and continues challenging Mingren despite repeated defeats 630 684 689.

Naruko Uzumaki

Naruto's permanent transformation into Naruko changes both her body and the way others respond to her. Naruko accepts the reality of her new form, continues pursuing strength and prosthetic recovery, and remains determined to save Gaara and oppose Mingren 701 709 719.

Trivia

• Mingren identifies Naruto as the world's “Protagonist,” attributing his repeated survival, sudden breakthroughs, and ability to sway opponents to this role 574.
• Naruto is described as possessing extraordinary natural talent: he learns the Rasengan in a week, Wind Release and Rasenshuriken in a month, and perfect Sage Mode within days 321.
• The permanent transformation into Naruko is framed as ending Naruto's “male protagonist” path and redirecting her toward a different destiny 696.
