Background

Naruto is born to Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki during the Nine-Tails crisis, when a Masked Man targets the newborn and seeks to seize the Nine-Tails. 135 136

As a child, he is isolated by Konoha's residents, who call him a monster. He is also targeted by older Academy students until Yakushi Hane intervenes and defeats the bullies. Naruto, initially stunned, chooses to stand beside Hane against them. 18 211

Hane later protects Naruto and Hinata from bullies, treats Naruto to Ichiraku Ramen, and validates his ambition to become Hokage. The encounter leaves a lasting impression on Naruto. 210 211

Personality
