Personality

Naruto is loud, impulsive, and easily provoked, especially when others demean Konoha, his friends, or the Hokage title. He challenges Tsunade despite the enormous difference in strength and refuses to yield when enemies demand surrender. 65 154

His recklessness is tempered by strong loyalty. He protects Sakura during the Water Town mission, defends Zhi Ge against Sasuke, and immediately pulls Zhi Ge free when the latter is trapped underground. 3 110 154 He also learns from combat mistakes: against the Sand rogue-ninja leader, he uses a clone substitution to evade a fatal attack rather than taking it head-on. 153

Abilities & Skills

Shadow Clone Technique

Naruto creates large numbers of clones for pressure, distraction, and support.

• Uses clones to help form and deliver Rasengan attacks. 111 155
• Can substitute his real body with a clone to avoid lethal strikes. 153
• His clones are vulnerable to high-output lightning attacks; Raiga Kurosuki destroys most of them with Lightning Blast Slash. 119

Rasengan

Naruto's primary high-impact technique is the Rasengan.

• Challenges Tsunade with it after learning the technique through Jiraiya's training. 65
• Uses clone support to form Rasengan while fighting the Water Town bounty-ninja leader. 111
• Combines a Rasengan strike with Zhi Ge's Thunder Blade finishing blow against the Sand rogue-ninja leader. 155
• Later develops Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, using it to defeat the Scorpion-Tailed Demon King. 346

Nine-Tails Chakra

In life-threatening situations, Naruto can draw on the chakra of the Nine-Tails sealed within him.

• The chakra manifests as a red protective layer that shatters an enemy's weapon and resists direct attacks. 154 155
• Greatly increases his strength, allowing him to kick away an enemy who had trapped Zhi Ge. 154
• Its release is unreliable; Naruto admits he has not fully mastered it. 155
• Even with the chakra active, he is initially suppressed by Shukaku. 51

Toad Boss Summoning

Naruto can summon the Toad Boss in desperate combat.

• Calls the summon after Gaara fully transforms into One-Tail Shukaku. 48
• The Toad Boss helps restrain Shukaku, though Naruto is left exhausted after forcing the summon. 49

Relationships

• Uchiha Zhi Ge — Childhood friend and later Team 7 comrade. Naruto protects Zhi Ge from Sasuke, openly admires his strength, and fights in coordination with him. 3 109 155
• Sakura Haruno — Team 7 teammate. Naruto repeatedly prioritizes her safety, including warning her to guard the mission cargo rather than enter combat. 109 110 111
• Sasuke Uchiha — Rival and former Team 7 member. Naruto attempts to protect Zhi Ge from Sasuke's rage and later fights beside Sasuke against Shukaku. 3 48
• Jiraiya — Mentor who trains Naruto in Rasengan and leads him alongside Zhi Ge on an A-rank mission. 61 65
• Kakashi Hatake — Team 7's jonin instructor. Kakashi leaves Naruto, Sakura, and Zhi Ge to complete their first mission as a three-person team. 109
• Tsunade — Fifth Hokage whom Naruto initially challenges after she disparages the Hokage position; she easily defeats him. 65
• Gaara — Initially a dangerous opponent whose Shukaku transformation nearly kills Naruto; Naruto later joins the effort to rescue him from Akatsuki. 48 311

After Zhi Ge replaces the defected Sasuke, Naruto joins him and Sakura on their first Team 7 mission: escorting a sealed box to Water Town Village. 108 109 Naruto fights the bounty-ninja leader with clones and Rasengan, but relies on Zhi Ge to neutralize the enemy's strongest Wind Release. 111

Sand Rogue-Ninja Conflict

Naruto fights beside Zhi Ge and Shikamaru against the Sand Village rogue-ninja organization.
