Background / History

Naruto is the son of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina. His identity and jinchūriki status are kept secret while he grows up in Konoha, though he becomes friends with Senju Yuqing and Senju Yuhong despite the secrecy around him. He regards Senju Nawaki as an uncle because of Nawaki's close friendship with Minato. 70 72

As a child, Naruto seeks acknowledgment through pranks and inappropriate transformation techniques. His lack of recognition and unstable Nine-Tails chakra contribute to his reputation as a troublesome “dunce.” 79

Appearance

Naruto has blond hair, blue eyes, and whisker-like markings on his cheeks. He is commonly associated with orange clothing, which makes him easily recognizable in battle. 72 89 111

• Blond, spiky hair.
• Blue eyes. 111
• Whisker-like cheek marks. 72
• Wears orange clothing in his younger years. 89
• Can manifest a red Nine-Tails chakra cloak, changing his pupils into a beast-like form. 120

Personality

Naruto is loud, impulsive, and eager to prove himself. Early on, he causes trouble to draw attention, but he is also generous and readily bonds with others, including Boruto and Konohamaru. 79 114

His defining trait is his refusal to abandon people he considers precious. Naruto repeatedly risks himself for Sasuke, insisting that their bond matters even when Sasuke rejects him. He also remains committed to becoming Hokage and ending hatred in the shinobi world rather than accepting an easier personal life. 175 236 265

Abilities & Skills

Sage Mode

Naruto learns Sage Art at Mount Myōboku following the dangers posed by Rasenshuriken's recoil.
