Background

Naruto was raised for a time by Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi before Houka took him away while he was still very young. He grew up amid village rumors connecting him to the “Demon Fox” and the Fourth Hokage's death; other children commonly avoided or mistreated him. 544 783

Houka became Naruto's principal guardian and trainer, pushing him through physical conditioning, combat practice, Chakra control, and the Three Body Technique. Although Hiruzen and the village elders worried that Houka's influence was improper, Houka continued treating Naruto like family. 569 577 611

After leaving Houka's home, Naruto stayed with Kurenai Yuhi. He became more diligent, improved his Taijutsu and Three Body Technique, and repeatedly challenged Sasuke at the Academy. 642
