Appearance

Naruto is a blond shinobi distinguished by whisker-like marks on his cheeks. When he returned to Konoha during Pain's assault, he wore a deep-red coat and carried a giant scroll. 1 88

• Blond hair. 1
• Three whisker-like marks on each cheek, which become more pronounced under Kurama's influence. 88
• Wore a deep-red coat and carried a giant scroll upon returning from Mount Myōboku. 1
• His advanced Nine-Tails state manifests nine tails without changing his basic human appearance. 387

Personality

Naruto is impulsive, confrontational, and stubbornly determined. He challenges opponents even when the gap in strength is obvious, including Nagato and Madara. 89 431 His stated ambition is to become Hokage, a goal that remains central even amid world-ending events. 387

He is deeply attached to bonds and is unusually willing to overlook others' past wrongs. This compassion makes him vulnerable to Danzō's manipulation, particularly when Danzō invokes Konoha, Jiraiya, and Kakashi to pressure him into obedience. 89 159 Naruto's insecurity over his inability to control the Nine-Tails also leaves him susceptible to threats concerning his status as its jinchuriki. 159

After awakening his later transformed state, Naruto becomes markedly calmer in battle. His opponents observe that he responds to threats with instinctive precision and combat experience absent from his earlier, reckless fighting style. 389 392

Abilities & Skills

Sage Mode

Naruto trained at Mount Myōboku and returned to Konoha having mastered Sage Mode. 1 2

• Enhances his combat power enough that the Asura Path would be destroyed by a direct hit. 2
• Allows the use of Sage Art techniques, including Sage Art Rasengan and Sage Art Rasenshuriken. 376 443
• His Sage Mode was insufficient against Pain once the Deva Path's abilities had recovered and Nagato exploited complete intelligence on him. 5

Shadow Clone Technique

Naruto frequently relies on the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to create overwhelming numbers and maintain pressure on opponents. 180

• Produced at least a hundred clones while attacking Sasuke. 180
• Clones attempt and support Rasengan attacks in coordinated combat. 180
• Uses clones as part of his direct, high-pressure fighting style.

Kurama Chakra and Tailed-Beast Transformations

As the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki, Naruto possesses enormous chakra reserves and can draw on Kurama's power in escalating forms. 7 10

• Kurama Chakra replenishes around him repeatedly, resisting attempts to drain it completely. 7
• The Six-Tails state grants corrosive chakra, bone growth, immense speed, and enough force to overwhelm Pain's summons and paths. 10 11
• His chakra cloak can withstand Susanoo-level impact without visible injury. 180
• His full tailed-beast state is unstable and can act independently of his control. 184 185
• Madara's Sharingan genjutsu can suppress Kurama and forcibly remove Naruto from Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. 431

Awakened Nine-Tails State

Naruto later enters a new form unlike his prior transformations, retaining a human shape while expressing the Nine-Tails' power directly through his body. 387 389

• Manifested nine tails while his chakra surged beyond its previous limits. 387
• Used Wood Release and absorbed or summoned chakra from shinobi worldwide. 386 391
• Formed tangible chakra claws and a lifelike Nine-Tails manifestation to attack Nagato's puppet. 388
• Awakened from an initial berserk condition and defeated the puppet with Truth-Seeking Orbs. 389
• Initially suffered instability severe enough to stagger and nearly collapse during combat. 388

Equipment

• Giant scroll — carried when returning from Mount Myōboku. 1
• Ichiraku Ramen coupon — used to obtain ramen after being held by ANBU. 86

Relationships

• Kurama / Nine-Tails — Naruto's tailed beast. Kurama initially resists Nagato's intrusion but intervenes to prevent Naruto's soul from being fully extracted, since Naruto's death would endanger Kurama as well. 7
• Nagato Uzumaki — initially an enemy who defeats Naruto, enters his mind, and nearly extracts his soul. Nagato later reveals Naruto's parentage and considers recruiting him into Akatsuki. 5 8 12
• Sasuke Uchiha — rival and ally. Naruto refuses to abandon Sasuke despite Sasuke declaring them enemies; they later combine Kurama and Susanoo in battle against Obito. 312 443
• Minato Namikaze — Naruto's father, the Fourth Hokage. Nagato reveals Minato's identity to Naruto, and Minato later protects Naruto from Sasuke and warns him to avoid Nagato. 8 248 314
• Kushina Uzumaki — Naruto's mother and the previous Nine-Tails jinchuriki. Naruto first meets her in his mental space, then reunites with her after her Impure World Reincarnation. 8 249 315
• Shimura Danzō — exploits Naruto's fear of losing his jinchuriki status and weaponizes Naruto's affection for Konoha and its fallen shinobi. 159
• Sakura Haruno — brings Naruto back to Konoha's camp after he encounters Asura; her concern is expressed through repeated punches. 367

Story Role / Major Arcs

Pain's Assault on Konoha

Naruto returns from Mount Myōboku to find Konoha devastated by Pain's attack. 1 He confronts the Deva Path while Tsunade is held hostage, but Nagato's restored Deva Path and complete intelligence allow Pain to defeat and immobilize him. 4 5

Nagato subsequently invades Naruto's mental space, repeatedly drains Kurama Chakra, and nearly pulls Naruto's soul free. The appearance of Asura's soul and the Sage of Six Paths' presence forces Nagato to retreat and return Naruto's soul. 7 8 Naruto then enters his Six-Tails state and overwhelms the remaining Paths of Pain in Konoha. 10 11

Parentage and Jinchuriki Conflict

Nagato tells Naruto that he is the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, and that Kushina was the previous Nine-Tails jinchuriki. 8 Naruto's awareness of being treated as a weapon by Konoha remains a major source of insecurity, particularly when Danzō threatens to replace him as the Nine-Tails' vessel. 89 159

Battle Against Sasuke

Naruto joins Konoha's efforts to stop Sasuke, using Nine-Tails Chakra to survive Susanoo attacks and leading a shadow-clone assault supported by the Inuzuka, Nara, and Hyūga clans. 180 His tailed-beast transformation later becomes unstable, allowing the Nine-Tails itself to clash directly with Sasuke. 184 185

Kirigakure Battle

Naruto awakens a radically different Nine-Tails state during his confrontation with Nagato's puppet. He manifests Wood Release, chakra constructs, and worldwide chakra resonance before defeating the puppet with Truth-Seeking Orbs. 386 389

Fourth Shinobi World War

After the Sage of Six Paths reconstructs and repositions Naruto during the world's rewrite, Naruto returns to the battlefield. 421 422 He attacks Madara in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, later reveals Kurama Mode beside Sasuke, and joins Sasuke, the Hokage, Itachi, and Orochimaru in the assault on Ten-Tails jinchuriki Obito. 431 434 443
