Background / History

Naruto is Konohagakure's Seventh Hokage and one of the Shinobi World's strongest fighters. Once regarded as the Child of Prophecy, he changed the course of the Shinobi World and helped establish its era of peace and development. Despite his status, he remains burdened by Hokage duties and works late into the night alongside Shikamaru. 2 6

He is the father of Boruto and Himawari and the husband of Hinata. Naruto is deeply protective of Boruto's childhood; even after deciding to transfer half of the Nine-Tails' power to his son, he permits Boruto to attend the Ninja Academy's Land of Water trip rather than force him to bear the full burden of the coming war. 1 35

Later, Naruto inexplicably awakens in his genin-era body and reunites with younger versions of Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi. Retaining his memories, he reacts with intense emotion to seeing Team 7 again and openly expresses his wish for everyone he loves to remain happy. 145

Story Role / Major Arcs

Child of Destiny Crisis

After receiving Mount Myōboku's warning about a new Child of Destiny and a possible Kaguya-level threat, Naruto investigates the prophecy with Shikamaru and the Great Toad Sage. He begins reinforcing Konoha's defenses, researching sealing methods, and preparing to involve the Tailed Beasts if necessary. 6 8

Shin Uchiha and the White-Robed Man

Naruto leaves Konoha after receiving Sasuke's message about Sharingan-related threats. He protects Boruto and Sarada during Shin Uchiha's attack, defeats Shin with Rasenshuriken, and is subsequently targeted by a Wood Release user who suppresses Kurama and attempts to seal the Nine-Tails. Boruto frees him from the restraint. 23 25 26

When Sarada is abducted, Naruto prioritizes finding her over remaining beside Sasuke in battle. Learning that she has apparently died drives him into a relentless Sage Fox Mode assault against her kidnapper, even as exhaustion and chakra depletion leave him unable to break through the enemy's defenses. 27 28 29

Five Kage Summit and Tailed Beast Defense

Naruto permits Boruto to stand beside him at the Five Kage Summit and address the coming threat. He later reveals Boruto's identity as the Child of Destiny and announces his decision to give his son half of the Nine-Tails' power. 32 35

As the Moon organization begins targeting the Tailed Beasts, Naruto and Boruto gather the remaining beasts to discuss their safety. Naruto supports Boruto's strategic approach and recognizes the beasts' growing trust in his son. 37

Battle Against Jigen

Naruto confronts Jigen in the Hidden Mist Village. Though he initially lands a successful feint and activates Sage Fox Mode, Jigen's State Two leaves him severely wounded and costs him his prosthetic arm. Mei Terumi, Chōjūrō, and Sarada attempt to protect him as he struggles to recover. 100 101

Encouraged by Boruto within the Nine-Tails' mental space, Naruto reverses the battle after a sudden chakra surge. His increased power and speed let him overwhelm Jigen with the Naruto Two Thousand Barrage before finishing him with the Six Paths: Super Asura Rasenshuriken. 104 106

Later Ōtsutsuki Conflicts

Naruto continues to coordinate the Shinobi World's response to Kara and the Ōtsutsuki. He weighs the Tailed Beasts' safety against the Kage's proposed measures, fights alongside Sasuke against Isshiki, and later joins Sasuke in confronting Urashiki. 107 130 133 138
