Background
Naruto is trained and protected by Uchiha Hise, whom he calls “Big Brother Fei Shi.” Hise’s position as Naruto’s guardian is recognized during Naruto’s engagement to Hinata Hyuga. 32
Under Hise’s instruction, Naruto trains in Bajiquan, Haki, ninjutsu, and coordination with Kurama. His Uzumaki physique, unusually large chakra reserves, recovery ability, and physical strength make him particularly suited to direct combat. 36 45 180
He later joins eighteen other young shinobi on a cross-world mission. Their group prevents the Uzumaki Clan’s destruction, establishes a base in the Land of Waves, and ultimately rebuilds New Uzushio Village. The group chooses Naruto as its leader, though Shikamaru and Shino manage much of the settlement’s administration. 197 198 267 312 344
Appearance
Naruto has yellow hair, a trait that surprises members of the red-haired Uzumaki Clan during the mission to Uzushio Village. 200

- He can become a golden Nine-Tails, including a form clad in purple armor and armed with two katanas. 203
- His Six Paths transformation greatly changes his appearance and presence. 213

Personality
Naruto is loud, impulsive, competitive, and easily bored by inactivity. He often rushes toward challenges, whether provoking Sasuke into a spar, demanding a difficult mission, or impatiently waiting for a chance to confront Madara. 176 197 264 347
Despite this recklessness, he is deeply loyal to his friends and responsive to others’ suffering. He supports Gaara after defeating him, immediately accepts Sakura’s call to help others during the Chunin Exams, and commits himself to protecting the Uzumaki Clan in the parallel world. 183 192 199
Years of combat and responsibility make him more pragmatic. He remains able to earn others’ trust, but no longer hesitates against enemies he believes deserve death. 313
