Background / History

Naruto attends the Ninja Academy alongside Sasuke and Sakura. He openly declares his ambition to become Hokage, but his impulsive confrontation with Sasuke over Sakura instead earns Sakura's anger and ends in an accidental kiss with Sasuke after Shikamaru kicks him. 10

He graduates into Team 7 under Kakashi alongside Sasuke and Sakura. During Kakashi's bell test, Naruto attempts to manipulate Kakashi and later uses a transformed shadow clone, but nobody initially notices his real body; Sasuke ultimately exposes him with the Transformation Technique. 16 25 26

On the Land of Waves escort mission, Naruto gradually becomes more considerate of his teammates. He offers Sasuke grilled fish, tries to defend Tazuna, and accepts Sasuke's invitation to eat ramen after the mission. 32 34

Zabuza's arguments about rogue ninjas challenge Naruto's simple view of justice. During his battle with Haku, he uses shadow clones strategically but is defeated and imprisoned within Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals. 46 49

Personality

Despite his immaturity, he is brave and compassionate. He insists on protecting Tazuna, sympathizes with the people of the Land of Waves, and begins questioning his assumptions after hearing Zabuza's account of a rogue ninja's life. 35 45 46

His attitude toward Sasuke shifts from hostility and jealousy to admiration and concern. He offers Sasuke food, is impressed by Sasuke's swordsmanship, and accepts Sasuke's ramen invitation. 32 34 36
