Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto Uzumaki is the titular hero of Naruto — a loud, lonely outcast who carries a nine-tailed beast and dreams of becoming Hokage, the leader who finally earns his village's respect.

Background

Orphaned and shunned as the host of the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed inside him at birth, Naruto grew up starved for acknowledgment. Through sheer stubbornness and an unbreakable will, he turned that loneliness into a vow to protect everyone who once rejected him.

Personality

Boisterous, kind and impossibly determined, Naruto wins over even his enemies through sheer empathy. His "talk no jutsu" — changing hearts rather than just defeating foes — is his truest power.
