Background / History

Naruto is the son of Minato Namikaze and an Uzumaki mother. Although his birth name was concealed, he later publicly identifies himself as Naruto Namikaze. His Uchiha bloodline, inherited through Minato's body, is stronger than his Namikaze heritage; Kangetsu seals away most of its powers and abilities shortly after Naruto's birth. 411 441

Kangetsu deliberately cultivates Naruto's loneliness and desire to uncover the truth about his parents. By warning him that knowledge of their deaths will endanger him unless he becomes strong, Kangetsu turns Naruto's search for identity into a pursuit of power. 411

Minato leaves a network of loyal shinobi to protect Naruto in secret and entrusts Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy with scrolls and responsibility for his future guidance. Kangetsu also arranges for Iruka to care for Naruto, intending that the warmth Naruto receives will later be revealed as manipulation. 398 412

Appearance

Naruto is initially depicted with golden hair and a lonely, cold-eyed demeanor. Activating Seal Release turns his hair black and makes his eyes crimson; his released chakra can manifest as a golden fox. 455 462

• Golden hair in his usual form. 441
• Black hair and crimson eyes after Seal Release. 462
• Scarlet, spinning eyes are noted during his confrontation with revived Izuna. 486
• Golden chakra later develops a pitch-black radiance while Naruto is consumed by killing intent. 475

Personality

Naruto begins as an innocent but suspicious and lonely child, desperate to know why he is isolated and what happened to his parents. Kangetsu exploits this need, convincing him that only strength will allow him to learn the truth. 411

After Iruka's deception is exposed, Naruto becomes violently hateful and increasingly cold. He considers hatred a source of strength and embraces darkness as a way to protect those around him, even as this turns protection into something possessive and ruthless. 423 473

Despite this darkness, Naruto retains attachments to Sasuke and responds deeply to the return of his father. Reuniting with Minato gives him a rare sense of hope and softens his otherwise lonely aura. 462 495
