Background / History
Naruto grows up isolated in Konoha due to the Nine-Tails sealed within him. Academy students call him a “demon fox,” and Naruto gradually comes to believe that he may truly be responsible for the deaths associated with the Nine-Tails attack. Kei is the person who consistently remains at his side through this treatment. 6
At the Academy entrance examination, Naruto and Kei are both poor at shuriken throwing. Naruto supports Kei and later manages to barely pass a retake after Kei encourages him. Their friendship develops through shared meals at Ichiraku Ramen and repeated shuriken practice in the woods. 1 2 4
After Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra begins to surface uncontrollably, he seeks Kei's help. He partially beastifies and attacks Kei, but Kei enters the sealing space and negotiates with Kurama. Kurama agrees to coexist peacefully with Naruto under Kei's promise, reducing the interference that had hindered Naruto's development. 26 27
Over the next three years, Naruto accompanies Kei on missions outside the village, gains substantial combat experience, and develops the Rasengan to the point of early elemental transformation. He later ranks first in the Ninja Academy graduation assessment and becomes a genin assigned to Team Seven. 36 44 45 46
Following the escalation of threats against Konoha, Kei secures Kurama's willing support and releases Naruto's seal, enabling him to wield Nine-Tails Mode. Naruto subsequently develops Sage Mode, participates in conflicts against the Yang Organization and Akatsuki, and fights alongside the Shinobi Alliance in the Fourth Shinobi World War. 85 92 104 129 130
During the Fushimi Clan conflict, Naruto reaches the Pseudo-Immortal Realm through Heavy Ion/Baryon Mode and displays power sufficient to eliminate pseudo-immortal opponents. Afterward, he turns his attention toward independently refining senjutsu and develops a unique Sage Mode and a three-body version of Multi Shadow Clone. 238 239 241 246
Personality
Naruto is energetic, blunt, and deeply determined to become Hokage. He views the title as Konoha's highest honor and reacts with disbelief when Kei dismisses the position as burdensome. 29
Despite enduring isolation and prejudice, Naruto retains a strong desire to protect others. He worries about hurting Kei during his loss of control, tries to defend Twilight Spring Valley, and becomes distressed when Sakura is endangered during Team Seven's assessment. 26 34 49
His confidence can become comical overconfidence: after being told that he is a genius, he immediately declares himself more talented than Sasuke. However, he has also developed greater composure and resilience, no longer allowing classmates' gossip to completely break him. 29 46
Naruto has become increasingly analytical in combat. During the Wave Country mission, he identifies Zabuza's Water Clone and directs his teammates to remain calm rather than panic. 53
He strongly values self-reliance and the right to fight for one's own future. Even when facing legendary figures such as Hashirama and Madara, Naruto openly voices these convictions and continues to pursue his ambition to become Hokage. 132
Naruto is fiercely loyal to Kei and Sasuke. He defies Hiruzen and Danzō to prevent Kei's arrest, and later restrains himself during the Fushimi battle to allow Sasuke the chance to prove himself. 198 239
Abilities & Skills
Nine-Tails Chakra
Naruto contains Kurama, the Nine-Tails, granting him extraordinary physical strength and immense potential chakra reserves.
- His physical strength surpasses that of an ordinary person even before consciously using Kurama's power. 26
- During his first recorded berserk state, he develops crimson chakra, bestial features, and a chakra tail; the resulting force devastates the surrounding grove. 26
- Kurama's prior interference is identified as a major obstacle to Naruto's training; after agreeing to coexist with Naruto, Kurama ceases this interference. 27 29
- Naruto still requires control, as his early berserk state leaves him unable to distinguish friend from foe. 26
- Kei later releases Naruto's Eight Trigrams Seal after securing Kurama's agreement to become Naruto's support, allowing Naruto to activate Nine-Tails Mode. 85
- Naruto can combine Kurama's chakra with his own techniques, including a small Tailed Beast Bomb and the power later identified as Heavy Ion/Baryon Mode. 129 238 239
Rasengan
Naruto learns and rapidly develops the Rasengan under Kei's guidance.
- He initially struggles with the water-balloon stage of training. 33 34
- He first uses the technique in combat against Hidden Village ninja and continues fighting despite sustaining a direct Fire and Wind Style attack. 35
- His earliest version is undersized and exhausting to maintain, earning the nickname “Little Maru,” but it is still sufficient to frighten three enemies. 36
- By the time of Team Seven's assessment, he can apply Wind Style to the Rasengan. 48
- He later employs a completed Rasenshuriken against Madara and attacks with a Sage Mode Rasengan Barrage. 129 130
Sage Arts
Naruto develops increasingly advanced senjutsu after gaining Nine-Tails Mode.
- He has mastered Sage Mode by the Akatsuki conflict and possesses strength assessed as above the Kage level. 104
- He enters Sage Mode to aid Sasuke against Madara. 130
- After the Fushimi Clan battle, Naruto creates a personal Sage Mode enhanced by Hashirama's Sage Body; it grants superior speed, strength, and endurance without requiring gathered natural energy. 246
- His refined Sage Mode can be cultivated simultaneously through himself and two genuine Shadow Clone bodies, each specializing in ninjutsu, taijutsu, or sage arts. 246
Susanoo
Naruto can manifest a Susanoo through the power associated with Kurama.
- He reveals this ability alongside Itachi and Shisui during the Yin Mask assault on Konoha. 92
- His Kurama-linked Susanoo is later powerful enough to clash with Kei's blade intent, though Naruto remains aware of the gap between their strength. 183
Shurikenjutsu
Naruto begins as a poor shuriken thrower but becomes proficient through repeated training.
- He barely passes the Academy retake after Kei's encouragement. 2
- He practices regularly with Kei in the woods. 4
- Following Kurama's reduced interference, he begins hitting intended targets reliably. 29
Multi Shadow Clone Technique
Naruto refines his signature cloning technique beyond ordinary chakra constructs.
- His conventional clones support his combat tactics and training throughout his development. 48 129
- With Tobirama's assistance, Naruto improves Multi Shadow Clone so that it produces two fully real bodies rather than disposable chakra clones. 246
- The three Narutos can cultivate separately and potentially merge their accumulated power into one body. 246
Combat Experience
Naruto gains practical experience by accompanying Kei on dangerous missions outside Konoha.
- He fights Jonin-level opponents during the Twilight Ninja Village investigation. 34 36
- Kei deliberately lets Naruto face enemies in order to develop his judgment under pressure. 36
- His tendency to abandon composure when a comrade is endangered remains a major weakness identified during Team Seven's assessment. 49
- By the Wave Country mission, he can assess enemy techniques under pressure and coordinate effectively with Sasuke. 51 53 54
- At the Pseudo-Immortal Realm, he demonstrates speed containing the essence of a law and combat power sufficient to overwhelm pseudo-immortal enemies. 239 241
Relationships
- Uchiha Kei — Closest friend, mentor, brother figure, and Team Seven leader. Kei protects Naruto from discrimination, helps negotiate Kurama's cooperation, trains him, and supports his growth. Naruto, in turn, repeatedly risks himself to protect Kei and remains determined to close the gap in their strength. 1 6 26 29 46 198 211
- Kurama — The Nine-Tails sealed inside Naruto. Initially hostile and disruptive, Kurama agrees to peacefully coexist with Naruto after Kei's intervention and later willingly supports Naruto's Nine-Tails Mode. 26 27 85
- Uchiha Sasuke — Academy peer, rival, and Team Seven teammate. Naruto considers himself more talented than Sasuke, while Sasuke struggles to accept Naruto's rapid growth. Their bond deepens through repeated joint battles, and Naruto later respects Sasuke's need to prove his own strength. 29 46 49 51 54 239
- Haruno Sakura — Former Team Seven teammate. Their relationship is initially strained by Sakura's prejudice and jealousy toward Naruto's unexpected strength; she later withdraws from Team Seven. 45 46 49 83
- Hyūga Hinata — Academy peer who publicly defends Naruto against Sakura and Sasuke's fanbase, calling him a good person. 44 45
- Namikaze Minato — Naruto's father. Minato's spirit initially remains within the sealing space, where he encounters Kei; Naruto later supports Minato's attempt to revive Kushina and learns more of the burden Minato placed upon him as a jinchūriki. 27 28 145 238
- Sarutobi Hiruzen — Konoha's Third Hokage. Naruto remains politically significant to Hiruzen as the Nine-Tails jinchūriki, though Naruto later openly opposes Hiruzen's attempt to take Kei into custody. 6 32 198
- Iruka Umino — Academy instructor whose initial prejudice toward Naruto changes into pride in Naruto's growth and graduation. 46
- Akimichi Chōji and Nara Shikamaru — Academy friends who encourage Naruto before the graduation examination and recognize him as more than Konoha's former dead last. 45
