Background / History
Hirofumi is a transmigrator who entered the Naruto world as a newborn after attempting to help a girl in his former life. Rather than suffering the hardship he expected, he was born into the Ito Clan: a minor but established Konoha ninja family led by his father, jōnin Ito Aoyama. His grandfather, Ito Taiga, was also a jōnin, and both men trained and indulged their only heir. 1
The Ito Clan lacks a hereditary secret technique, but Hirofumi received early chakra and ninjutsu training. He became a recognized Academy genius, second only to Uchiha Sasuke, while forming close ties with Naruto, Sasuke, Ino, and the other future Konoha rookies. 1
While copying the theoretical hand seals for the Summoning Technique in class, Hirofumi accidentally performed a reverse summoning and vanished from the Academy. He arrived in a mysterious space, encountered Uchiha Madara, and became the holder of a summoning system that could resurrect the dead and grant him one of each summon’s abilities. He concealed the system and Madara’s existence upon returning to Konoha. 1 7 9
His rapid growth drew the attention of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō. Hiruzen sought to protect and potentially place him under Jiraiya’s guidance, while Danzō tried to recruit him into Root. Hirofumi openly provoked Danzō, dodged his attack with Body Flicker, and exposed that he had been hiding much of his strength. 10 11 61 62
Appearance
Hirofumi is regarded as the most handsome student in his Academy year, with a sturdy build and a deliberately cultivated “bad boy” charm likened to that of the Uchiha. 1
- Black-haired before acquiring the Uzumaki Clan bloodline. 55
- Frequently wears a crooked, self-satisfied smirk. 17 150
- His Mangekyō Sharingan manifests as a windmill-like pattern when using Kotoamatsukami. 340
- Wears a custom Fifth Hokage haori embroidered with gold thread by Yamanaka Ino. 150
Personality
Hirofumi is ambitious, theatrical, and intensely conscious of presentation. He values appearing powerful and “cool,” whether choosing a flashy summon, naming elaborate techniques, or taking obvious delight in the Hokage haori prepared for him. 1 54 150
He is politically perceptive and plans far ahead. From his Academy days, he sought to gather the Konoha rookies into a loyal circle; later, he pursued the Fifth Hokage position, Konoha’s restructuring, and ultimately the unification of the Ninja World as a path to lasting peace. 32 55 143
Despite his manipulative streak and willingness to provoke enemies, Hirofumi values his friends and family. He trusts Naruto and Sasuke with major secrets, responds to his classmates’ loyalty, and repeatedly frames his ambitions around protecting Konoha and preventing future wars. 37 66 185
Abilities & Skills
Summoning System
Hirofumi’s defining ability is a system-linked reverse summoning power. It can resurrect deceased shinobi as summons, maintain their Soul Fire within his Summoning Space after death, and randomly grant Hirofumi an ability from each successful summon. 7 55 139
- Summons retain control over their own bodies and chakra; Hirofumi cannot simply force them to obey. 43 55
- His first summon was Uchiha Madara, who became both his most important mentor and eventual master. 7 89
- Standard high-level summoning costs money, with Hokage-level summonings priced at one hundred million ryō. 40
- A dead summon can be resurrected again from its Soul Fire for fifty million Wealth Points. 139
- Colorful Summoning can resurrect Six Paths-level figures for one billion Wealth Points per target. 194
Chakra, Bloodlines, and Sage Power
Hirofumi possesses all five basic chakra natures, as well as Yin and Yang chakra following the acquisition of Indra and Asura Chakra. 21 78
- Indra Reincarnation Chakra — grants a resonance with Sasuke and Naruto and contributes to his ocular evolution. 7 20
- Asura Chakra — obtained from Hashirama; later fused with Indra Chakra during his Rinnegan awakening. 46 265
- Uzumaki Clan bloodline — provides exceptionally large chakra reserves, though his young body initially limited their full use. 55
- Mount Myōboku Sage Art — one of several Sage Arts he can employ or develop through Konoha’s access to the Three Great Sage Regions. 58 185
Mangekyō Sharingan
Hirofumi’s Mangekyō Sharingan is a blank slate rather than a fixed pair of ocular abilities. Because he possesses both Indra and Asura Chakra, he can develop any known Mangekyō ability using his own ocular power. 53 54
- Can manifest Susanoo, including a Perfect Susanoo large enough to protect the Ito Clan. 79 148
- Can copy ninjutsu through Sharingan observation, including Water Release techniques learned during his sparring with Tobirama. 78 79
- Has developed and used Kotoamatsukami for mental control. 340
- The ability requires sufficient ocular power to develop each technique; possessing the Mangekyō does not automatically grant every ability. 54
Flying Thunder God Technique
Hirofumi extracted the Flying Thunder God Technique from Senju Tobirama and mastered it immediately. 43 58
- Used Body Flicker and high-speed movement to evade Danzō before the latter could capture him. 62
- Combined Flying Thunder God with Susanoo to create Susanoo · Flying Thunder God Slash. 79
- Envisioned further combinations involving Sage Art, True Several Thousand Hands, and Majestic Attire Buddha. 80
Rinnegan
Hirofumi awakened the Rinnegan after his Indra Chakra, Asura Chakra, Yin-Yang chakra, Sharingan ocular power, and Byakugan ocular power began merging. 265
- Replication — can copy ninjutsu, Sage Art, Mangekyō abilities, Rinnegan abilities, Kekkei Genkai, and Kekkei Tōta if he has adequate chakra and ocular power. 266
- Rewriting — an ability capable of altering reality. 266
- Can use Yomotsu Hirasaka to open portals between dimensions despite not initially possessing the Rinnegan when the technique was acquired. 196
Taijutsu and Weapon Skills
- Eight Inner Gates — automatically mastered from Might Duy; its upper limits depend on Hirofumi’s physical condition. 103
- Hatake Sword Technique — automatically mastered after summoning Hatake Sakumo. 98
- Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique — used against Sasuke during their Academy practical examination. 27
Relationships
- Ito Aoyama — Father and head of the Ito Clan; a jōnin who raised and trained Hirofumi as the family’s sole heir. 1
- Ito Taiga — Grandfather, retired jōnin, and former subordinate of Hiruzen; deeply protective of Hirofumi. 1 9
- Yamanaka Ino — Girlfriend. Ino gave Hirofumi flowers and confessed her feelings at the Academy; she later embroidered his Hokage haori and shared her first kiss with him. 20 150 361
- Uchiha Madara — First summon, combat instructor, and eventual master. Madara supports Hirofumi’s ambition to unify the Ninja World. 7 18 89
- Senju Hashirama — Summoned senior and master figure who also offered to train Hirofumi; publicly recognizes him as a disciple. 46 89 150
- Senju Tobirama — Summon and sparring partner; granted Hirofumi the Flying Thunder God Technique and closely evaluates his potential. 43 79
- Uchiha Sasuke — Academy rival turned close friend. Sasuke entrusted Hirofumi with the Uchiha Clan fortune to support his goals. 19 38
- Uzumaki Naruto — Close friend since before the Academy; repeatedly supports Hirofumi against Danzō and other threats. 1 66
- Sarutobi Hiruzen — Initially protects Hirofumi from Danzō and later supports his succession as Fifth Hokage. 10 63 143
- Shimura Danzō — Political enemy who attempted to recruit and capture Hirofumi for Root. 11 61 63
- Orochimaru — Scientific and political collaborator under Hirofumi’s Hokage administration. 129 157
- Kakuzu — General Manager of Hirofumi’s company and a major source of revenue-generating schemes. 210 222
