Background / History

Naruto first meets Uzumaki Eiyuling at Hokage Rock, where he proudly declares that he will become Hokage. Her sincere belief in his dream gives him the recognition he had never received before, reducing him to tears. Soon afterward, the Third Hokage arranges for Eiyuling to live with him. 1

Living with Eiyuling exposes Naruto’s isolation in Konoha. Villagers openly glare at them and refuse to sell them goods because of Naruto; he is already accustomed to being turned away and tries to leave rather than cause trouble. Eiyuling instead brings him to the Hokage Building for help, promising that he will not remain alone. 2

At Eiyuling’s urging, Naruto begins training while still very young. He initially cannot condense chakra or grasp the Three Body Technique, so they focus on running and taijutsu. His search for Rock Lee eventually gives him a regular training partner and a friendly rival. 3 6 7

After Eiyuling leaves Konoha to train under Orochimaru, Naruto continues training but struggles with loneliness and occasionally falls back into laziness. He remains eager for her return, waiting for her at the Red Bridge and welcoming her home as family despite their lack of blood relation. 19 20 24 25

When Eiyuling leaves again, Naruto keeps notes on the Three Body Technique and receives another taijutsu scroll to share with Rock Lee. By the time the Ninja Academy opens, he is still worried about her absence and quickly clashes with Sasuke. 29 49

Appearance

Naruto is depicted as a young, yellow-haired child during the early Konoha events. 49

• Frequently appears disheveled after sleeping on the sofa or training. 2 25
• Often bears injuries from sparring or fighting older Academy students. 4 11

Personality

Naruto is deeply driven by his ambition to become Hokage and by a need to be acknowledged. At his first meeting with Eiyuling, being told that someone believes in his dream affects him profoundly; he is still vulnerable to Konoha’s rejection rather than hardened against it. 1

He is straightforward, emotionally open, and easily excited. Naruto trusts Eiyuling quickly, embraces the idea of shared secrets, and treats her companionship as something precious. His optimism can inspire others, particularly Rock Lee, even when Naruto himself is struggling. 2 27

His determination is genuine but unevenly applied. He insists that they should keep trying even when chakra training seems impossible, yet later neglects his training when loneliness and distraction catch up with him. 6 20
