Background

Naruto was a lonely Academy student who craved recognition from others. His chakra reserves were immense, but Kurama's interference prevented him from performing even the basic Clone Technique properly during the final review. Yao's encouragement and invitation to share a birthday meal quickly earned Naruto's loyalty and friendship. 1 2

After passing a special graduation test, Naruto became a Konoha shinobi and joined Team 7 alongside Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Yao under Kakashi Hatake. He was thrilled to be placed with Yao, whom he regarded as his only friend in the village. 5 6

• His Sage Mode gives him orange eye shadow and horizontal, toad-like pupils. 100

Personality

Naruto is loud, impatient, and openly competitive, but he is deeply motivated by the desire to become Hokage and earn the village's acknowledgement. 6

He is fiercely loyal to his comrades. He refused to accept Kakashi's bell at Yao's expense, fought beside Sasuke against Otogakure ninja, and reacted angrily when Neji severely injured Hinata. 8 19 30

Naruto's growing maturity is shown in his willingness to understand Kurama's hatred rather than simply resent it. After Yao explained the tailed beasts' imprisonment and mistreatment, Naruto resolved to try seeing the Nine-Tails as a friend. 76
