Background
Naruto is Gojo Satoru reborn in the ninja world. Despite retaining memories of his former life, he embraces Naruto's identity and remains committed to protecting Konoha and becoming Hokage. 13
During Team 7's Land of Waves mission, Naruto confronts Zabuza despite Kakashi's warnings. When Haku traps him in an Ice Prison, Naruto breaks free with Azure and later draws on the Nine-Tails' chakra to overwhelm Zabuza. Kakashi reports that Naruto defeated both Zabuza and Haku and had become comparable to him in strength. 4 8 10 12
His victories transform his standing in Konoha. The Land of Waves names its completed bridge the Naruto Bridge, while the Third Hokage takes Naruto's exceptional performance seriously. 12
After the Chūnin Exams and Konoha Crush, Naruto subdues Orochimaru with Infinite Void rather than killing him, ultimately bringing the Sannin under his influence. He later leaves Konoha to train with Jiraiya for two and a half years. 41 50
Appearance
Naruto is a blond, blue-eyed young man who is frequently depicted wearing sunglasses. As his strength grows, the whisker marks formerly present on his cheeks disappear. 13 52 88 108
- Blond hair. 52 108
- Blue eyes, visible beneath his sunglasses. 52 88 108
- No longer has the whisker marks associated with his earlier appearance. 13
- His appearance becomes noticeably more handsome after his growth in power. 13 65 66
Personality
Naruto is confident to the point of openly calling himself invincible, and he frequently taunts or provokes opponents far stronger than ordinary shinobi. His confidence is backed by a willingness to fight on the front line and test the limits of his own abilities. 4 13 22
He is also protective of his comrades. He prioritizes finding Sasuke and Sakura over pursuing Orochimaru, pursues Orochimaru after Sasuke is taken, and shields Kakashi, Sakura, and Chiyo from Deidara's self-detonation at severe cost to himself. 23 38 61
Naruto's overwhelming strength does not prevent him from showing restraint. He lets Sasuke demonstrate his progress in their taijutsu reunion, supports Sasuke against Danzo without judging his anger, and chooses to understand Itachi's actions rather than immediately pursue him. 57 66 70

- Sasuke Uchiha — Teammate, close friend, and rival. Sasuke's desire to catch Naruto drives his training; Naruto later supports him against Danzo and holds back during their reunion spar. 12 66 70
- Sakura Haruno — Teammate. Sakura's view of Naruto shifts as she witnesses his power and growth; Naruto protects her during Deidara's self-detonation. 12 52 61
- Kurama / Nine-Tails — The tailed beast sealed within Naruto. Naruto initially compels its chakra into cooperation and later reaches Perfect Kurama Mode with Kurama's participation. 10 103
