Background / History

Naruto joins Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno under Kakashi Hatake as Team Seven. During their Genin examination, he immobilizes Sasuke with the Sunflower – Acupoint Sealing Technique and then uses it on Kakashi to take the bells with surprising ease 4.

On the mission involving Raditz's village, Naruto recklessly approaches Momochi Zabuza on a flying broom and escapes Zabuza's sword strike in a puff of smoke. He later breaks Haku's ice wall and defeats him alongside his teammates 11 12.

Naruto acquires scratch-off-ticket resources before the Chunin Exam, including a Mysterious Map. During the exam, he protects the unconscious Sasuke and injured Sakura, immobilizing the Sound Ninja trio with Shadow Clones and Acupoint Sealing 17 23.

He becomes Jiraiya's student, learning Summoning Jutsu and beginning Rasengan training. Naruto agrees to train in the Rasengan so that Jiraiya will help search for Sasuke, though his initial progress is slow 38 80 83.

Naruto repeatedly tries to bring Sasuke back without abandoning him. He saves scratch-off tickets for Sasuke, leaves tickets with him while respecting his desire for revenge, and ultimately confronts him after Sasuke threatens to destroy Konoha. Naruto and Sakura return Sasuke to his senses and bring him back to the village 90 97 311.

To protect him from Pain, Jiraiya takes Naruto to Mount Myōboku. There, Naruto trains under Fukasaku and eventually masters Sage Mode without undergoing toad transformation 192 217 231.

Personality

Naruto is fearless to the point of recklessness. He casually attempts to talk to Zabuza, a Jonin-level rogue ninja, and is prone to impulsive schemes such as trying to rob the Third Hokage for scratch-off-ticket money 11 27.

He is also mischievous and opportunistic. Naruto repeatedly robs Ebisu with Acupoint Sealing, punishes Konohamaru after being provoked, and uses a Shadow Clone to deceive Bangjiu's father into giving him funeral money 17 56 83 119.

Despite his behavior, Naruto is deeply loyal to his friends. He protects Sakura and Sasuke during the Chunin Exam, follows Sasuke when he fears Sasuke will make a dangerous choice, and continues hoping for Sasuke's return even after Sasuke leaves Konoha 23 56 90 97.
