Background / History
Naruto was one of Uchiha Sen’s few friends in Konoha. He had played with Sen for years, understood Sen’s alien-invasion roleplay, and had dragged him into the forest on the night of the Uchiha clan massacre. Naruto joins in by answering to Sen’s designation of “Double-Zero Two.” 1 3
He fails the Genin Exam because of the Clone Technique, then follows Mizuki’s instructions to steal the Scroll of Seals. Sen secretly follows him to protect him, while Naruto studies the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique from the scroll. 3
Mizuki reveals Naruto’s status as the Nine-Tailed Fox and tells him that no one will acknowledge him, causing Naruto’s chakra to surge out of control. Iruka shields Naruto from Mizuki’s attack, while Sen destroys Mizuki with an enormous Rasengan. 4
As a member of Team 7, Naruto accompanies Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura, Tazuna, and Sen to the Land of Waves. Kakashi assigns Naruto to look after Sen because Naruto is the only teammate who can communicate with him normally. 6 7
During the Chūnin Exams, Naruto moves into Sen’s home and eagerly joins Sen, Haku, and Zabuza for a barbecue in the Forest of Death. He later travels with Jiraiya and encounters Tsunade, whose contempt for the Hokage title provokes Naruto into challenging her. 15 19 34 38
Appearance
Naruto is shown wearing an orange jacket during his meeting with Sen after the Genin Exam. 3
Personality
Naruto is determined to become Hokage and reacts strongly when others dismiss that dream or demean previous Hokage. He initially believes becoming Hokage will earn him recognition, but Sen’s advice leads him to realize that acknowledgment from others must come first. 6 36 38
He is impulsive and trusting, as shown by his decision to steal the Scroll of Seals and his willingness to follow Sen into bizarre situations. He nevertheless shows genuine courage: when Zabuza’s blade targets Sen, Naruto tries to push his friend out of the way despite the danger. 3 8
Naruto accepts Sen’s eccentric worldview more readily than most people. He calls Sen “Hole-Hole Monster” and “Big Sen,” enthusiastically praises him, and treats their imaginary missions as real operations. 3 7 8
