Background

Karot is a reincarnated individual who retained memories of his prior life. He originally awakened in a Dragon Ball-world facility among tailed children, but the System detected that Planet Vegeta was about to be destroyed and forcibly transferred him to the Naruto world instead 1.

He became the eldest son of Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi's older brother, despite not existing in the original family line. His Saiyan tail drew attention at birth, and Sakumo's status as Konoha's White Fang protected him from being dissected for study 1.

Karot's System initially imposed a major limitation: it siphoned away 99% of his chakra gains as repair fees, leaving him unable to condense chakra normally. Rather than granting power directly, it taught him Turtle School methods and required him to train personally 1.

He entered the Ninja Academy partly to help support his family, whose finances were strained by his enormous appetite. Though he attended little formal schooling, he entered the graduation assessment at Sakumo's request and displayed strength far beyond his age 1 7 8.

Appearance

Karot is a white-haired Saiyan who strongly resembles Son Goku in facial features, a resemblance noticed immediately after his arrival in the Dragon Ball world 176 181.

• Has a Saiyan tail, normally concealed or wrapped around his waist 11 176.
• Wears weighted clothing during training and combat; his removed inner garment is heavy enough to surprise Kakashi 11.
• Uses martial arts uniforms, including green attire early in his ninja career and later an orange-red Turtle School uniform 13 15.
• Can transform into a massive, fur-covered Great Ape under moonlight or artificial lunar light 38 186.

Personality

Karot is intensely driven by training and strong opponents. He finds weak enemies uninteresting and may delay acting until an opponent becomes worth fighting; this tendency is directly tied to his Saiyan battle instinct 17 65. He prefers solitary training and declined Son Goku's invitation to train together despite admiring Goku's strength 182.

He is blunt, proud, and frequently provocative in battle. He taunts opponents he considers weak, dislikes being used without permission, and reacts strongly when others challenge his autonomy or dignity 9 192. His confidence can become an “invincibility complex,” though he is willing to acknowledge when stronger opponents surpass him 182 261.

Despite this, Karot protects allies in immediate danger, rescues Jiraiya from Pain, heals Kakashi after overexertion, and asks Naruto to care for Boruto after noticing the boy's situation 74 124 156. He is also deeply food-motivated, capable of consuming extraordinary quantities and creating financial strain for those feeding him 1 51 69.

• Uses Ki Blast Healing on patients after settling on Earth 181.

Space-Time Techniques

• Uses Ki signatures as destinations for Instant Transmission 67.
• Plans and trains a defensive technique modeled after Kamui, using Dragon Vein power to displace threatened body parts into another space 190.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Early Konoha Career

Karot enters the Ninja Academy despite being unable to use chakra normally. During his graduation examination, he defeats an Uchiha Chunin who uses Sharingan, Shadow Clones, and Great Fireball Technique, earning graduation and provoking hostility from the Uchiha 8 9 10.

His subsequent spar with Sakumo reveals his blue Ki and awakening Saiyan potential. Sakumo assesses him as Jonin-level, while Kakashi resolves to pursue Hatake swordsmanship after witnessing the gap between them 11.

Matsushita Team and Shinobi War

After joining Matsushita Hokuto, Sanada, and Miwako, Karot completes numerous high-rank missions and becomes a Chunin. He protects his teammates during conflicts with Stone Ninja and later distinguishes himself against Cloud Ninja forces 15 21 22.

During the war, he uses Energy Discs and Karot's Wave Cannon to devastate Cloud forces, becomes a target of A, and eventually destroys an Eight-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb with Kamehameha 29 34 35.

Great Ape Incident and War's End

Karot transforms into a Great Ape after seeing the moon during a confrontation with A. In his rampage, he battles Matatabi until Sakumo cuts off his tail to stop him 38 40.

Following the war, he defeats Uchiha Shisui and accepts Shisui's allegiance, marking the beginning of his own subordinates 45.

Dragon Vein and Time Displacement

Karot accompanies Minato to Rōran to investigate the Dragon Vein. He confronts Anrokuzan, permits the enemy to become stronger for the sake of a better fight, then removes him from Rōran before the Dragon Vein's self-destruction 60 65 67.

The resulting catastrophe sends Karot into a later Naruto timeline. He temporarily stays with Naruto's team, rescues Jiraiya from Pain, and eventually returns to Konoha when the System chooses the landing location 69 74 84.

Other Dimensions and Earth

Karot leaves Konoha to seek stronger opponents in other dimensions. After a later space-time accident, he is transported into the Dragon Ball world while severely injured 104 175 176.

On Earth, he recovers with Bulma, Gohan, and Tenten's assistance, tests himself against Super Saiyan Goku, trains in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and battles Cell with Kaioken, Instant Transmission, Kamehameha, and a controlled Great Ape form 178 181 184 185 186.

He later fights alongside Goku's group against Babidi and Dabura, then pursues an extended rivalry with Goku that pushes his Ki beyond Super Saiyan 2 195 199 203.

Trivia

• Karot's System initially welcomed him to the Dragon Ball world before immediately declaring that it had selected the wrong time period and initiating another world jump 1.

• He took selfies with Porunga during the Namekian Dragon Ball wish ceremony 178.
• Karot has no interest in romance, prioritizing training instead; this concerns his former teacher Matsushita 149.
