Background
Naruto was an unusually gifted child. Before entering the Ninja Academy, he had already mastered the Shadow Clone Technique, the Rasengan, and more than one hundred ninjutsu; Minato nevertheless worried that Naruto's overwhelming early strength would prevent him from learning humility and cooperation 203.
During the Chūnin Exams, Naruto intervened to save Neji Hyūga and was recognized by Rock Lee as the strongest member of his generation. He later demonstrated tactical use of Shadow Clones, Wind Release, and a Lightning Release Rasengan against Gaara 279 281.
An explosion during the exams left Naruto critically injured, nearly severing his right arm and destroying his right eye. While Naruto was unconscious, Yu replaced the eye with an unawakened Uchiha eye and implanted a portion of his own flesh, viewing Naruto as a future pillar against the Heavenly People 260.
Naruto later survived five years in Netherworld Valley alongside Xiaoxue, fighting Moon Beasts and maturing into a capable swordsman and jinchūriki. He returned having mastered a portion of Mito's Nine-Tails Chakra, his Mangekyō Sharingan, and the Demon Blade Muramasa 511.
During the Shinobi War, Yu deployed Naruto to the Third Division so he could protect the Allied Forces and earn the recognition needed for his dream of becoming Hokage. Naruto used Sage-enhanced perception and mass Shadow Clones to expose White Zetsu infiltrators, capturing thousands rather than killing them 525.
Yu later appointed Naruto Ghostshade Duke and lord of Ghostshade City. Naruto accepted the post as a responsibility toward its citizens and was assigned former Fire Daimyō Akechi Mitsuyoshi as an experienced supervisor 571. After years of leadership, Naruto returned to compete with Sasuke for the Hokage position; their battle became a clash between Naruto's belief in mutual understanding and Sasuke's belief in order through law and discipline 739 740.
Appearance
After returning from Netherworld Valley, Naruto wore black clothing with a small cape. Five years of survival and combat had removed much of his childhood softness and given him a notably more mature bearing 511.
- Golden chakra cloak in Nine-Tails and Six Paths forms 525 694
- Right eye originally replaced with an Uchiha eye; later evolved into a Rinnegan 260 694
- Six black tomoe around the collar and a Six Paths Sage Art mark on his back in his Mini Ten-Tails form 694
- Can manifest a gigantic golden Mini Ten-Tails with a Rinne Sharingan 741
Personality
Naruto is determined, compassionate, and unwilling to abandon people in danger. Even while gravely injured, he refused to withdraw from the Chūnin Exams because he had promised to show someone important his progress 260. He also attempted to appeal to the individuality and abandoned dreams of the Shin clones before accepting that they could no longer be reached through reason 636.
His compassion remains central even at the highest levels of conflict. During his Hokage battle with Sasuke, Naruto rejected the idea that protecting others must require killing someone he loved, insisting that enemies should be stopped without being harmed if possible 740. Under Sasuke's pressure, he acknowledged that he had unconsciously underestimated his rival and resolved to treat Sasuke as a true equal 743.
Naruto is also humble about leadership. Upon becoming Ghostshade City’s lord, he worried about failing its citizens, accepted supervision from an experienced statesman, and listened carefully to Minato and Kushina's warnings about political temptation and responsibility 571 572.
