History Characters / NarutoNarutoUzumaki

* BerserkButton:
** Do '''not''' disrespect the Hokage title even if you happen to be the strongest man in the world. And do '''not''' insult his dad in front of him.
--->'''Naruto:''' ... and don't talk shit about my old man who DID become Hokage! ''[[[PunchedAcrossTheRoom sage-mode Rasengan to the back]]]''
** Do ''not'' eat '''ANY''' of his ramen. Episode 176 (pre-TimeSkip and {{Filler}} arc) is evidence of this as Naruto goes Nine-Tails mode after finding out that his special ramen was eaten.
%%** Do '''not''' suggest that those with a Tailed Beast sealed in them are NotEvenHuman or the use of the term [[NWordPrivileges Jinchūriki]] by anyone who is either a Jinchūriki or good friends with one.
%%** Whether it be Canon or Filler, '''Never''' bad mouth or harm Hinata in front of him, or let him know that you did either to her. Characters like [[spoiler:Neji, Pain, and Toneri are among the ones who suffered the consequences]].

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:He loses his right arm to Sasuke in the series' FinalBattle, while costing Sasuke his left arm during the same. [[LightNovel/KakashiHidenLightningInTheIcySky A year later]], Tsunade uses Hashirama's cells to give Naruto a [[ArtificialLimbs replacement arm]]]].

* BirdsOfAFeather: With Hinata. Despite having different personalities and fighting styles, they're very similar to each other, as pointed out by [[ShipperOnDeck Lee, Sakura, Kiba and Shino]]. Both are considered failures by everyone around them, both suffer because of the respective statuses they have carried since birth, and both want to be acknowledged and accepted. Both are really nice, dorky, determined, loyal, and insecure. According to [[AllThereInTheManual the databooks]] and ''[[LightNovel/KonohaHidenThePerfectDayForAWedding Konoha Hiden]]'', both like to eat red bean soup and preserve their plants. Their respective signature colors--Orange and Purple--share the common color {{Red|StringOfFate}} on the [[http://web.archive.org/web/20170929145745/https://designcode.io/cloud/chapter1/Colors-Wheel.png color wheel]]. Finally, both are incredibly empathetic, despite living in a world where that trait is easily looked down upon. This is one of the reasons why they develop a strong friendship that grows into love.

* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:After his meeting with Hagoromo, he acquires the powers of Six Paths Chakra, and the chakra of all nine Tailed Beasts. The former allows him to enter a godly transformation called Six Paths Sage Mode, which amplifies all of his abilities to their absolute peak, and the latter grants him all of their elemental releases]]. It more or less cementing Naruto's status as this. In ''[[LightNovel/ShikamaruHidenACloudDriftingInSilentDarkness Shikamaru Hiden]]'', Shikamaru of all people is the one to compare Naruto to a god. [[spoiler:However, after losing Kurama in ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' he's stated to have lost his superhuman chakra reserves and Tailed Beast powers.]]

* TerrorHero: After the Fourth Shinobi World War, the name "Naruto Uzumaki" is well known in the ninja world, with many considering him invincible. When the Armament Alliance takes over the Tobishachimaru in ''[[LightNovel/KakashiHidenLightningInTheIcySky Kakashi Hiden]]'', one of their terms is that if Naruto Uzumaki or anything even ''vaguely resembling'' Naruto Uzumaki appears in the horizon, they'll blow up the airship and kill all the hostages.

** He absolutely ''adores'' ramen and all of its various flavors; it's pretty much the only thing he really eats. [[spoiler:If ''Shippuden'' ending 34 is any indicator, [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe it's probably the first hot meal he ever had]], ''on top'' of probably being the first act of kindness he received. This was confirmed in ''[[LightNovel/KonohaHidenThePerfectDayForAWedding Konoha Hiden]]'']].

* WhenHeSmiles: In Chapter 1 of ''[[LightNovel/GaaraHidenASandstormMirage Gaara Hiden]]'', Gaara notices that Naruto has a ''wondrous smile'' that is reserved only for [[OneTrueLove Hinata]].

** Naruto using the powers of levitation hasn’t been seen again since the movie ''The Last'', (he can move quickly enough and jump far enough to still look like he is flying, but no explicit levitation). Even in ''The Last'' he only uses it near the end and for his kiss with Hinata, despite flight having been something that would have been very useful in a number of earlier events. It’s possible that he still has access to it but he chooses not to almost never using it for an, as of yet, unknown reason.

** Naruto using the powers of levitation hasn’t been seen again since the movie ''The Last'', (he can move quickly enough and jump far enough to still look like he is flying, but no explicit levitation).

It’s possible that he still has access to it but he chooses not to almost never use it for an as yet unknown reason.

** Taken [[SerialEscalation: Up to Eleven]] when defeating Obito, who was arguably his most personal enemy and the reason for a lot of the tragedy in Naruto's life. As Naruto is trying to convince Obito to give up his ways, as he already knows that Obito himself doesn't truly believe in the cause he is fighting for, Obito [[RedemptionRejection instead insists that he doesn't regret his actions]]. Naruto, in turn, actually rejects Obito's RedemptionRejection, makes him realize his true feelings, and grabs his hand to lead him to their side in order to guide him towards redemption.

* AllLovingHero: Naruto was this trope to the point where it makes you wonder why he had such an abnormally hard time making friends prior to the start of the series. Hinata, Shikamaru, Temari, Neji, and Gaara all note that he has the power to influence people. It's worth noting that Naruto tends to get off to a bad start with most of the people he befriends, and they're often completely dismissive of him for reasons typically unrelated to him having the fox inside him. Unlike many of the other examples, he's not always civil in response, but his determination and honesty cause many of these people to see him, and often themselves, in a new light.

* AlmightyJanitor: Out of all of his friends, Naruto is still a genin. A genin that is a literal OneManArmy, whose personal favorite technique is the logical conclusion of tossing a million razors into a whirlwind and sealing it into one big HappyFunBall, and can [[SummonBiggerFish pull multiple several-story-tall weapon-using toads from another realm]], but still a genin. According to Kishimoto and Episode 48 of the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime, he never promoted from genin until he became Hokage. More than likely he just stopped caring about ranks after a while. Which makes sense when you think about it -- it's not like his ranking limited what missions he could go on, his reputation having reached a point where rank is outright meaningless in comparison.

** {{Inverted|Trope}} with [[CuteBruiser Sakura]]. In Chapter 246, when Naruto and Sakura re-do the bell test with Kakashi, she demonstrates the SuperStrength that she learned from Tsunade by smashing the ground open. Naruto [[https://68.media.tumblr.com/10dd4ef1fd8fccedd8cf993d70cea0eb/tumblr_inline_owfta0TldQ1ubnsxd_500.png looks terrified of her]], and then he [[https://68.media.tumblr.com/6b8c2e8b0c42e63fb6d8a53d149cf317/tumblr_inline_owfta7cSGD1ubnsxd_540.png thinks to himself]] that he shouldn't upset her because she'd kill him. Later in Chapter 632, when Sakura activates her Yin Seal and demolishes a bunch of Ten-Tails mini-clones, Naruto looks ''[[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon absolutely terrified of her]]'', while ''[[NotSoStoic Sasuke]]'' sports a [[https://31.media.tumblr.com/85051a84ec0a23d61ea6a1cb05953cf8/tumblr_inline_mnjxs4bx3x1qz4rgp.png proud and flirty smirk]].

* BadassFamily: Naruto's family contains plenty of badasses, his father is the Fourth Hokage, and his mother was the former host of Kurama. They even fought alongside their son at various points of the series, Kushina helped him subdue Kurama during his training, while the resurrected Minato fought with Naruto during the [[WarArc Fourth Shinobi World War Arc]]. [[Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie Two years later]], Naruto forms a BattleCouple with [[LadyOfWar Hinata]], the two save the world, and later marry, starting a family. Their son [[ChildProdigy Boruto]] is shaping up to be a formidable ninja in his own right, and their daughter [[SilkHidingSteel Himawari]] is one you shouldn't mess with.

-->'''Shikamaru:''' [[spoiler:"
He's practically a psuedo-Ten Tails Jinchūriki... his power is that of the Six Paths. At his current level, Naruto is pretty much a god."]]

He's practically a psuedo-Ten Tails Jinchūriki... his power is that of the Six Paths. At his current level, Naruto is pretty much a god.]]

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: As pointed out by Tenten in Rock Lee's spin-off series:

-->'''Naruto''': "When people have different opinions, you should apply the majority vote."

---> '''Naruto''': "... and don't talk shit about my old man who DID become Hokage!" ''([[PunchedAcrossTheRoom sage-mode Rasengan to the back]])''

* GoodIsNotDumb: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. Naruto ''is'' the BookDumb IdiotHero, but it's been implied time and time again that the reason behind his seemingly idiotic nature is that he grew up without anyone properly teaching him anything outside of the academy. Bu, despite ''seeming'' like an idiot, he is ''not'' one. As explained under his GeniusDitz and HiddenDepths sections, Naruto is able to come up with ingenious strategies on the fly.

-->'''Naruto''': "[[spoiler:Hinata]]... do you remember that lesson in class? The one with, "If the end of the world came, who would you spend your last day with?" I couldn't write anyone's name down. I didn't know my parents, and I didn't have any friends... But now, I know exactly whom I'd choose. I want to be with you. Now and forever, until I die... [[OneTrueLove I want to be with you]], [[spoiler:Hinata]]!"

-->'''Naruto''': "Hinata... do you... do you really believe that’s true? I may look strong to you, but all I ever do is mess things up. I act tough because I'm so frustrated, but underneath it all, I just feel like I'm just one huge failure."

--->'''Naruto''': "Hinata... I promise you. You [Neji]... are going down!!"

--->'''Naruto''': [[spoiler:"Hinata, I swear I will save you!"]]

-->'''Shikamaru''': [[spoiler:"He's practically a psuedo-Ten Tails Jinchūriki... his power is that of the Six Paths. At his current level, Naruto is pretty much a god."]]

-->'''Naruto''': "I'm not just being kind because I'm in love with you or anything! I'm just really worried about [[spoiler:Hanabi]], that's all."

-->'''Kankuro''': ''It's useless, Gaara, not even Naruto could reach him.''

--->'''Hinata:''' "You make mistakes... but... because of those mistakes... you get the strength to stand up to them... that's why I think you are truly strong."
---> '''Naruto''': [[spoiler:"[[InsecureLoveInterest This whole time, you always loved me for the way I am]]."]]

** A {{Gender Inverted|Trope}} variant. Considering Naruto's lonely past, somewhere deep down he grew to believe that it would be impossible for any girl to love him [[WartsAndAll for the person he is]], much less a girl [[NiceGirl as kind and beautiful]] as Hinata, which is why he was greatly surprised when she confessed her love for him during Pain's invasion, and even then for a while he thought she meant [[LoveYouAndEverybody she loved him as a friend]]. [[spoiler:It's later on when he finally does understand, realizing his love for her, that he exemplifies this trope. This was confirmed with his HeroicVow, in which he swears to save Hinata from Toneri and properly return her love for him: He explicitly says, "You always loved me '''[[WartsAndAll for the way I am]]'''" (or "You've loved '''someone like me''' forever and ever"), depending on the translation]].

* SuperpowerLottery: Naruto has managed win the lottery multiple times, having mastered [[SuperMode Sage Mode]], which allows him to fight on par with other powerful shinobi like Pain. Being the host to the strongest Tailed Beast in the world, the Nine-Tailed Fox, acting as his SuperpoweredEvilSide that tears up parts of the landscape once triggered, but at the cost of shortening his lifespan. [[spoiler: Once tamed, there are no more PowerAtAPrice aspects. Naruto won over his fellow Perfect Jinchuriki Killer Bee though: being stronger, faster, and overall more powerful than ''five'' Tailed Beasts. Not only that, he can ''[[SuperEmpowering transfer]]'' his power to an entire army to make a RedshirtArmy into a BadassArmy capable of fighting even the strongest EldritchAbomination in the universe and two [[PhysicalGod physical gods]]. And then he can combine his full power with his ''Sage Mode'' which gives him the ability to fight even the likes of Ten-Tails Obito! And when he received Six Paths Chakra from Hagoromo Otsutsuki, his Six Paths Sage Mode has his abilities skyrocket to their full potential, allowing him to fight the likes of Ten- Tails Madara, Kaguya, and Sasuke.]]

* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:After his meeting with Hagoromo, he acquires the powers of Six Paths Chakra, and the chakra of all nine of the Tailed Beasts. The former allows him to enter a godly transformation called Six Paths Sage Mode, which amplifies all of his abilities to their absolute peak, and the latter grants him all of their elemental releases]]. It more or less cementing Naruto's status as this. In ''[[LightNovel/ShikamaruHidenACloudDriftingInSilentDarkness Shikamaru Hiden]]'', Shikamaru of all people is the one to compare Naruto to a god. [[spoiler:However, after losing Kurama in ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' he's stated to have lost his superhuman chakra reserves and Tailed Beast powers.]]

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: In recognition of his feats and achievements in the Fourth Great Shinobi War, as well as his fame as the Hero of the Ninja World, Naruto is made the Hokage of Konoha by Kakashi and the other Jounin.

* DumbassHasAPoint:

** During the second stage of the Chunin Exam, Team 7 are attacked by Orochimaru, disguised as another examinee. Seeing how outclassed they are, Sasuke moves to give Orochimaru his scroll (The teams that have a Heaven and Earth scroll pass, and Orochimaru had the other one), but [[IdiotHero Naruto]] stops him, pointing out that there's no guarantee that someone so ObviouslyEvil will just be satisfied with a scroll. Orochimaru admits this, as his real goal was infecting Sasuke with [[TheCorruption his curse mark]].

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: So often it's not a surprise he appears to be a complete idiot. The Nine-Tails sealed inside him, the identity of his parents, the Fourth Shinobi World War... It's a very long list. Beautifully {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d during the Chunin Exams:

* LookWhatICanDoNow: Naruto uses this as his quasi standard way to progress. In fact, he does it ''in the first episode/volume'' when he first busts out what will later become his signature move.

* TheIdealistWasRight: Throughout Part II, he's adamant about getting through to Sasuke and bringing him back to Konoha despite virtually everyone else inside and outside of the Leaf Village, including Sakura, Gaara, and Kakashi, telling him that Sasuke is BeyondRedemption and just give up on him already. In the end, Naruto succeeds at redeeming Sasuke and bringing him home.

* IconicOutfit: In the first part, he wears vibrant orange-and-blue jacket and pants, an outfit famous for making him a HighlyVisibleNinja. Also, there's the orange-and-black Shippuden outfit.

* TheIdealistWasRight: Throughout Part II, he's adamant on getting through to Sasuke and bringing him back to Konoha despite virtually everyone else in the village, including Sakura and Kakashi, telling him that Sasuke is BeyondRedemption and to just give up on him already. In the end, Naruto succeeds at redeeming Sasuke and bringing him home.

* AintTooProudToBeg: Begging the Raikage not to kill Sasuke, which earned him a rough beating. Later called back by Raikage upon seeing that Hashirama pulled the exact same stunt.

** In fact, to him each new friend means a new member of his family, something he takes very seriously since he pretty much grew up without a real one, and why he always goes to great lengths to protect them, including Sasuke.

* WeaponOfChoice:
** In Six Paths Sage Mode, Naruto's weapon of choice through the Truth Seeking Balls appears to be a staff, which makes sense when one remembers he is based on [[Franchise/DragonBall Son Goku]] and the fact that every person who's used Truth Seeking Balls has had a staff.
** The FumaShuriken seems to be acknowledged as Naruto's signature weapon in console games, despite the fact that he's only used it twice: once in Part I as part of a combo attack with Sasuke (where he disguised himself as the shuriken) and once in Part II (where he transformed his ''clone'' into one).

** [[FantasticFoxes Foxes]] due to being [[AsianFoxSpirit Kurama's]] host. Additionally, the whisker marks on his cheeks and his habit of keeping his eyes closed at times (like when he's confused or embarrassed) give him a fox-like appearance.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: His SignatureMove, the [[EnergyBall Rasengan]], and all its variants. The tenth anniversary game one-ups this by making an "Instant awesome, just add dragons" version! [[MeaningfulName His name]] even shares a similar theme![[note]]For those unaware, "uzumaki" is Japanese for "whirlpool".[[/note]]
