Main protagonist of shōnen manga eponymous created by Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto is a young ninja 🐱👤 member of the Uzumaki clan. His childhood was very difficult, because he was rejected by the vast majority of the inhabitants of his village because he was the jinchûriki of the Bijû Kyûbi. Indeed, Kurama is at the origin of the destruction of Konoha, but also at the origin of its current power.
Naruto always had a dream of one day becoming Hokage and, to achieve this, he never spared his efforts to be accepted by the villagers. Over the years, following several trials and events, he became a hero for having protected the village time and time again. He was also later shown to be one of the main players in the victory of the Fourth Shinobi World War . He is now the Seventh Hokage of the village of Konoha. 🤴🏼
The Uzumaki family
The Uzumaki family originally comes from Uzushio, also called the Hidden Village of Swirls which is located on the island: "The Land of Swirls". Having a kinship with the Senju Clan, one of the most powerful clans of the time, the Uzumaki family predominated over the ninja village before the destruction of the country. Most of the members of the clan were decimated, with the exception of a few survivors like Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto's mother , who went into exile in several neighboring countries. 🗺️
Members of the Uzumaki clan are renowned for having great longevity, incredible vitality and an extraordinary ability to regenerate. They are also recognized worldwide for being able to master fûinjutsu , the most complicated ninja art to learn. These are all the techniques allowing you to seal objects, living beings, or even someone's chakra in receptacles ⚱️ and also to release them. Note that the only Kyubi jinchûriki known to date all come from the Uzumaki clan, namely Mito Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki.
Who raised Naruto
Naruto lost both of his parents shortly after his birth. Thus, an orphan , Naruto was first raised by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi as his father wished. At the age of 12, he was then entrusted to the chûnin Iruka Umino when he entered the Ninja Academy. Hiruzen, Iruka and Teuchi, the owner of the restaurant 🍜 Ramen Ichiraku have also been a surrogate family for Naruto.
Why Naruto is called Naruto
Naruto's father was trained by Jiraiya nicknamed "the frog hermit" 🐸 one of the three famous legendary Sannin of Konoha. The latter traveled all over the world in search of knowledge and wrote several novels relating to his numerous travels. Minato Namikaze was inspired by the hero of his master's first book, Heroic Tales of Shinobi Hermits , to name his son: Naruto. He hoped that his son would grow up to follow the same path as the main character in the book. Thus, Jiraiya became Naruto's godfather.
Who are Naruto's Sensei?
When he entered the Ninja Academy, Naruto was seen as the worst student in his class. 👨🏼🎓 Despite this, some have always seen enormous potential in him! Additionally, he was the host of the Nine-Tailed Demon, Kyûbi. Naruto had several instructors such as Iruka Umino, Yamato and Ebisu but his main mentors were Kakashi Hatake and Jiraiya.
Kakashi
Once he rose to the rank of Genin, Naruto was integrated into Team 7 which happens to be the main team in the story. It is at this point in the narrative that Kakashi Hatake appears for the first time as the leader of the team. He was therefore the Sensei of the 3 main young protagonists of the manga, namely Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno . Kakashi is seen as a cold, lonely and even apathetic character, but he is very strict and rule-abiding. 📏
Despite the fact that he had a habit of being constantly late and that he never stopped reading erotic books, Kakashi is nonetheless a world-famous ninja and a teacher 👨🏼🏫 of genius. Indeed, Kakashi is a powerful, experienced and intelligent jōnin. He is particularly famous for his use of the hereditary dôjutsu, the Sharingan . He is also very skilled at replicating his enemies' techniques, earning him the nickname the "Copyright Ninja". Find out with us how Kakashi died .
Jiraiya
It was during the chūnin selection exam that Naruto met Jiraiya for the first time when the latter had just knocked out his instructor Ebisu for having caught him ogling girls at the hot springs. Naruto then asked to be supervised by Jiraiya who ended up accepting. The latter liked to make dubious jokes about him and he was an unparalleled obsessive who loved watching women bathing, 🧜🏼♀️ hence his nickname “ perverted hermit ”.
Just like Orochimaru and Tsunade, Jiraiya was one of the three famous Sannin of Konoha Village. They were seen as the most powerful trio of shinobi of their time even though Jiraiya was the weakest of the three. The latter underwent special training with the frog master Fukasaku living at Mount Myôboku 🌄 to master Senjutsu or the Art of Frog Combat . Naruto learned several different combat techniques from Jiraiya over several years, such as the summoning techniques, the Whirling Orb, Multi Cloning, the Uzumaki Naruto Fury, the Barrel - Rasen Shuriken as well as that of the Chakra arm of his Bijû. Note also that Jiraiya was the mentor of Naruto's father, Minato Namikaze.
Who are Naruto's parents?
Naruto Uzumaki is the son of the legendary Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.
Minato
Considered today as a legend and called the Yellow Lightning ⚡ of Konoha , Minato Namikaze was the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village. He met his future wife during his childhood at the Academy. According to his Sensai Jiraiya, Minato was the type of prodigy that only appeared once every ten years. He was both kind and had a temper of steel. And Kishimoto as well as several other characters in the manga have stated that he became Hokage very early in his youth. It should be noted that Minato willingly sacrificed his soul to save the village of Konoha by sealing the Nine-Tails inside Naruto's body.
Kushina
Coming from the Uzumaki clan, Kushina was a kunoichi from the village of Konoha about whom we don't know much, except that she was talkative and a bit of a tomboy according to Jiraiya. Furthermore, it is also known that Kushina was sent to Konoha to become the second vessel of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox . At the Ninja Academy, she was the classmate of Minato Namikaze whom she initially considered to be unreliable and dreamy. Furthermore, she herself had stated that she wanted to become the village's first female Hokage. Subsequently, she fell in love 👩❤️👨 with Minato after he saved her from the hand of Kumo ninjas. Totally exhausted when Naruto was born, she died not without having had a small reprieve thanks to Minato's sacrifice to protect her son from the Bijû.
Naruto Uzumaki's Biju
As was said above, in order to save the village of Konoha, Minato Namikaze sealed the Bijû which was in the body of his wife in that of his son Naruto. This is Kurama, otherwise known as Kyûbi or the nine-tailed fox demon . 🦊 This titanic creature is a living form of chakra which gives it incredible power surpassing that of the vast majority of shinobi. Over the centuries, the Nine-Tails gained the reputation of being a real natural disaster when it attacked humans. According to legend, it would even be capable of creating a tidal wave just with a single swing of one of its tails or even flattening a mountain. Note that if the Kyûbi had a malicious, deceitful, sadistic, sarcastic and above all full of himself character, he nonetheless had a sense of honor and a certain pride.
If, at first, he did not like Naruto and wanted to kill him, Kurama understood that his destiny was linked to that of the young ninja and that it was better to cooperate. Subsequently, their relationship improved mainly due to the fact that Naruto was willing to help the Biju. And according to Naruto, the Nine-Tails is very powerful and fast while its tails are ultra-resistant. Kurama is also able to share his chakra 🕉️ to anyone around him just through a simple touch. Thus, thanks to his Bijû, Naruto has an enormous quantity of chakra but also enormous endurance as well as accelerated healing. His strength and speed are also increased. Additionally, after being trained by Jiraiya, Naruto learned to communicate with Kurama and use his chakra.
Naruto's powers
Since entering the Ninja Academy, Naruto has acquired several skills such as the Transfiguration technique, Multi-Cloning, the Whirling Orb or the Barrel - Shuriken Orb . However, his powers are incredibly heightened when he is in certain states.
Hermit Fashion
Thus, upon the death ⚰️ of his mentor Jiraiya during a fight against Pain, Naruto sought to become stronger to take revenge. For this, he accompanied the old wise toad Fukusaku to Mount Myôboku to learn the combat techniques of the hermits. Only after several days of training, he was able to fully master Hermit Mode without having to transform into a toad, except for the yellow eyes of the toads and the red signs of the hermits. He thus became a master in the use of Senjutsu and his abilities increased incredibly thanks to this mode.
It is now possible for him to complete the Orb Shuriken as well as the Rasen-shuriken even from a distance, which is almost impossible to do . With the Toad Kata, his attacks when using his Taijutsu are more powerful. He is also able to call upon other variants of the Whirling Orb 🌪️ (Rasengan) and improve his Ninjutsu repertoire. And also, its resistance is extraordinarily increased. Not only that but his strength also becomes phenomenal, allowing him to lift several tons with ease.
Note also that Naruto is able to use the Nine-Tails' chakra even when he is in Hermit Mode. His eyes then turn between orange and red while his pupils combine the eyes of the Bijû and those of the toads . Additionally, the marks on his face become thicker and his canines 🦷 sharper.
Rikudô Hermit Mode
Being an advanced stage of the previous one, this mode uses the chakra of the Hermit Rikudô to considerably strengthen the abilities of its user. The latter is thus capable of understanding the nature of the chakra as well as all universal things. He also has the ability to use Ying and Yang perfectly. Naruto also used it to influence the vital force and reconstitute the organs 🧠 lost of shinobi during the great ninja war.
While in this state, Naruto also has his physical abilities enhanced. He has greater resistance, which allowed him to withstand the Thousand Birds technique launched by Sasuke Uchiha. Likewise, he saw his speed increased to the point of being able to escape the attack of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki who used the Yomotsu Hirasaka . Rikudô's Hermit Mode also allows Naruto to fly, which is very useful for him during his fights. 🤼♂️
This power also increases Naruto's sensory performance to the highest stage and equivalent to that of Jûbi's jinchûriki . This ability gives him the ability to detect Madara Uchiha's Limbo Dive technique even if he is unable to see shadows. He can thus perceive attacks and fight shadows without seeing them. 🕵🏼 In addition, the effects of Gudôdama have no impact on the user.
Nine-Tails Chakra Mode
When Naruto found himself in front of the Falls of Truth, he managed to overcome his dark side with the help of his mother who appeared to him. He was thus able to appropriate the Nine-Tails' chakra by separating it from his will, which allowed him to master another very powerful power, the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode . When he is in this state, Naruto is surrounded by flames and we see the mark of the necklace 📿 of the Rikudô Sennin appear at his neck which is made up of six magatama and his outfit is covered with a cape like for the Hermit Rikudo. And we also see the appearance of the seal allowing the Kyûbi to be sealed.
This other mode also gives Naruto incredible physical abilities. Not only does his speed become phenomenal, even surpassing that of the Fourth Raikage, but also his strength increases, allowing him to deliver devastating blows inflicting considerable damage. His techniques such as Rasen-Shuriken or Rasengan can be improved. Indeed, Naruto is capable of creating very long chakra arms 💪🏼 to launch his Rasengen and Rasen-Shuriken from a distance. If he was limited to two Rasen-Shuriken with Hermit Mode, he can use it at least three times with this other mode.
This mode also allows him to sense negative energies around him as well as murderous desires and hatred. He is thus able to detect Zetsu clones that even detector ninjas are not able to spot. 🌫️ However, this mode comes with a major flaw: it requires a large amount of chakra and the more Naruto uses it, the more he risks dying.
Bijû Fashion
Beyond Hermit Mode and Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Naruto is also capable of mastering Nine-Tails and taking a new form in Biju Mode . Thus, Naruto transforms into Kurama and his powers are increased tenfold. By acquiring the body of the Nine-Tails, his strength and speed reach such a level that his attacks are equivalent to those of three Nine-Tails. Naruto can also master the Tailed Demon Orb and, as a Kyūbi, the most powerful of the nine Bijū, his technique has a power equal to that of five Bijū. Note that when Naruto used this technique to deflect the bombs of five Bijû 🐲 towards the sky with his own bomb, Kyûbi only had half of his power. We thus have an idea of the true power of the nine-tailed fox demon.
In Biju Mode, Naruto can also transform Kurama's tails into chakra arms, with the difference that they are much longer and much more powerful than those created by Naruto in Kyûbi Chakra Mode . Their strength is such that they are capable of immobilizing five Beijû at the same time just by holding them at neck level. Naruto is also able to create Kurama's head in order to throw a bomb or grab an object. He can also protect people by absorbing them into the Bijû chakra.
The Seventh Hokage of Konoha
As said above, Naruto has always wanted to become a Hokage since he joined the Ninja Academy in order to gain recognition from the villagers of Konoha. Subsequently, his wish for recognition transformed into a desire to help and protect 👮🏼♂️ others, especially those close to him. He worked hard to maintain his nindô (code of life) in order to never betray his promises and achieve his goal.
And it was during the Fourth Shinobi World War that Naruto distinguished himself as one of the major players in the victory of the Shinobi Alliance against Tobi, the initial leader and member of the Akatsuki criminal organization. His participation earned him the recognition he always sought and allowed him to realize his dearest desire. He thus became the Seventh Hokage of Konoha. From that moment on, Naruto became more mature, serious and strict 🙅🏼♂️ in his daily life.
Having become an important person in the village and one of the most powerful Shinobi, Naruto accepted greater responsibilities to the point of ending up overwhelmed. Moreover, his complicated relationship with his son is due to his unavailability. He even tried to make more time for his family without relying on clones, which shows us a loving caring father and a loving husband. Furthermore, under his leadership, Konoha enjoyed prosperity and undertook extraordinary technological advancements 💻 such as major infrastructure.
Naruto's 3 Kekkei Genkai
Kekkei Genkai are powers passed down genetically from generation to generation within a clan. These abilities are generally impossible to duplicate or teach to anyone outside the clan. They provide a strategic benefit to their user, allowing them to collect information more easily or to unlock special techniques that are very complicated to parry. Ninjas possessing these abilities do not hesitate to use them during their confrontations to ensure victory. ✌🏼
Although there are several Kekkei Genkai, they fall into two distinct groups. On the one hand, there are Dôjutsu which are powers calling on specific pupils 👁️. They allow the user to greatly improve their perception of combat and thus have a better reading of it. On the other hand, there are the Kekkei Genkai of the Godai Seishitsu Henka type (advanced nature transformation of the five elements) which give the user the possibility of creating new natures by merging two of the five basic elements. There is also a more powerful form of Kekkei Genkai which allows you to combine three elements, this is Kekkei Tôta.
As for Naruto, he has mastered 3 Kekkei Genkai, namely Futton, Jiton and Yoton .
Futon
Combining the fire nature of the chakra (Katon) and that of the water 💦 of the chakra (Suiton), Futton is the art of manipulating steam. While most Kekkei Genkai look the same, regardless of who uses them, Futton differs in its many forms depending on the user. We find in particular the Futton - Acid Mist used by the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi . It involves producing and releasing on your opponent a cloud of mist composed of corrosive acid vapor capable of dissolving everything. Another form is the Erupting Kick used by Han, Kokuô's last jinchūriki. The latter increases the temperature of his chakra to the point of boiling. Then, he releases the resulting boiling steam to deliver a kick to his opponent, the power and force of which is increased through his Steam Armor.
There is also Vapor Absorption which was first used by Han and then by Naruto Uzumaki. Just like the previous one, the goal is to increase the temperature 🥵 of your chakra. Once it reaches a boil, the user releases it from their body and delivers a violent punch accompanied by steam. The opponent is then thrown far away. Additionally, Naruto also used the Futton - Unparalleled Strength derived from the previous two forms. The technique is to increase the temperature of one's chakra to the boiling point in order to produce large quantities of steam. The resulting pressure allows its user to obtain superhuman strength.
Jiton
Jiton is the art of using magnetism 🧲 obtained through the fusion of the earth nature of the chakra (Doton) with the wind nature of the chakra (Fûtton). By manipulating the Jiton, its user is able to generate a magnetic field and then apply it to different substances which they then use in various situations. In particular, there are several forms such as the Jiton - World of Iron Filings , the Jiton - Magnetic Shuriken or the Iron Fist (Boruto) .
As for Naruto whose affinity is the Fûtton (the Art of using the wind 🍃), following his meeting with the Hermit Rikudô and having inherited his powers, it is now possible for him to use Continuously use the powers of each Biju when he is in Hermit Mode. Naruto therefore manages to combine Shukaku's Jiton and his Rasengen to create the Senpô - Jiton Swirling Orb . The technique consists of intensifying one's power of inspiration to then produce a Rasengen with the cursed marks of the beast. He then throws the sphere like a normal Rasengen at his target who sees the marks spread across his body and who ends up immobilized.
Yoton
Yoton touches on the Art of controlling lava and is the result of the fusion between the earth nature of the chakra (Doton) and that of fire 🔥 of the chakra (Katon). Like the Fûtton, this technique comes in many forms depending on the user. It has had several users in different forms, such as the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi with acidic mud, the Fourth Tsuchikage Kurotsuchi with volcanic ash, one of the founders of the initial Akatsuki Kyûsuke with corrosive lime , the Shinobi of Kumo Dodaï with vulcanized rubber, the Shinobi of Iwa Roshi with volcanic bombs, waves 🌊 of lava, walls or lava balls.
For his part, Naruto Uzumaki uses a Bijû technique, notably Son Goku otherwise called Yonbi, to create an enormous Rasen-Shuriken (Fûtton - Shuriken Orb) comprising a lava core. This is the Senpō - The magma shuriken . The heat that is released is such that steam is emitted from the blades. In addition, Naruto can enlarge the sphere and the blades 🗡️ as he wishes in order to slash his enemy. The power of this attack is simply phenomenal to the point of being able to cut Shinju in his Divine Tree form.
Become a Konoha Village Ninja too
As you can see, Naruto did everything to keep his word and become the important person he wanted within Konoha, even though he was always rejected since his childhood 👶🏼 because of something he was not responsible. He worked hard while still being himself, pulling pranks to get attention. He eventually managed to become the Seventh Hokage and one of the most powerful ninjas in history with phenomenal powers.
