History Heartwarming / Naruto

*** Sure enough, the sand shield takes on a new form: Karura herself, shielding her precious son from harm

** The kids rushing up to ask Naruto questions, the flashbacks showing the village's changing opinion of Naruto as he grows as a ninja or Sakura's smack on the head-turned-embrace ("You're always so reckless...") for Naruto (although that moment is lessened because Naruto did not hug her back, which, in retrospect, {{foreshadow|ing}}ed what was to come [[ShipSinking in the following arc]]). And, of course, Iruka's thoughts as he watches, ManlyTears in his eyes.
--->'''Third Hokage''': (''in flashback'') "The final wish that the Fourth Hokage made...was for Naruto to one day be seen as a hero."\\
'''Iruka''': (''[[TearsOfJoy tearing up]]'') "Lord Third...Lord Fourth...there is a hero...right before our eyes."

* Sasuke rebukes Itachi's habit of always being "later, later" when it comes to him and that it was all lies anyway. [Itachi acknowledges that, but says since one only keeps their nature until they've died, and he's already dead, he'll keep his word and talk with Sasuke after they beat Kabuto. Weirdly both heartwarming and tearjerking, since it reminds you that after Itachi stops Edo Tensei, he'll die too.

-->'''Kakashi:''' ''Obito... Even if i's someone they used to make fun of... when people see someone trying twice as hard as others, they instinctively start wanting to lend a hand. That's because... people eventually learn that they only have each other to fill the holes in their hearts. And he who posesess a heart filled with comrades... is truly powerful!''

'''Naruto''': "I felt pain, too. You're not the only one. There's still pain buried deep down inside of me, and there's no telling what kind of pain I may face down the road, but if I were to stop believing just because things get difficult, [[BreakingTheFourthWall if the hero in this book were to change who he is, then it would become a whole different story. It sure wouldn't be the story our master left behind, and it wouldn't be about Naruto! The thing is, I can't write books like our master did... and so... any sequel has to come from the life I live... that's why no matter how much pain my own path brings, I'll keep walking... '''because that's who Naruto is!''']]" \\

* Brief, but shortly before Naruto and Shikamaru recruit Neji, Neji is seen [[{{TookALevelInKindness}} supporting Lee,]] helping Lee walk and making sure he’s ok.

And, of course, Iruka's thoughts as he watches, ManlyTears in his eyes.

-->'''Obito:''' "I possess the same will and body as the Sage of Six Paths. [[{{AGodAmI}} I am the second Sage of Six Paths!]]"\\
'''Naruto:''' "[[{{ShutUpHannibal}} Wrong! You're Obito Uchiha!]]"

* The lullaby sung by Sumarus mother called Natsuhiboshi in the "Star Village arc". The lullaby in the dub is just as good as the original thanks to the singing talent of the voice actress.

* In ''Shippuden'' 182, Naruto's team (before Sasuke left) is paired up with the only recently reformed Gaara and his team of newbies Yaoki and Korobi for a joint mission. Despite Naruto's initial distrust of Gaara, he not only charges to the rescue when some sand ANBU try to kill Gaara. He also [[WhatTheHellHero scolds]] the rookies for running away when their "friend" (not knowing any better) needed their help. In the end, Yaoki and Korobi come back to help rescue Gaara and became some of his first real friends, aside from Naruto at this point. But the best part of the episode? If one were to look closely near the end of the Kazekage Rescue Arc, [[FreezeFrameBonus you'll see two shinobi who look like a lot like Yaoki and Korobi happily crying in relief to find him alive]].

--> '''Tsunade''': "You'll grow up to be a fine man." ''(thinking) And a great Hokage, too.''.

[[folder: Kakashi Gaiden]]

--> '''Obito''': "Kakashi! Why...?"\\
'''Kakashi''': "Well, I couldn't leave a crybaby ninja by himself now, could I?"

* Shippuden opening 8 "Diver" shows Naruto falling into and sinking in the ocean as the Akatsuki stand leering at him in a FieldOfBlades. Sasuke appears above him and attacks him with a Chidori as Naruto struggles and the scene is consumed by angry red light... until Sakura's hand touches his back and the red changes to cool blue. Then Kakashi's hand joins hers, then Sai's and Yamato's, and Shikamaru's, Ino's, Tenten's, Hinata's, Lee's, Guy's, Iruka's and Neji's join theirs to push Naruto out of the ocean and into the air. Naruto flips in midair and stares down at the whirlpool he came out of and sees Sasuke sinking at the bottom like Naruto was. Tying his headband on, Naruto dives back down to save his friend. While some anime {{Title Sequence}}s can be hard to figure out the symbolism in this one was plain as day and awesome as ''hell''.

** How similar both of Kakashi's teams were. It also [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] that Kakashi intentionally picked up Obito's tardiness.

** Befriending [[FantasticFoxes Kurama]], the jinchūriki that was the cause of Konoha's unwarranted hatred towards Naruto.

* ''Shippuden'' Episodes 246 and onward, which are the anime adaptations of Chapters 498 and on, mentioned earlier on this page. While most of the heartwarming content is the same, the anime adds at least one ''extremely'' heartwarming scene in Episode 247: Kushina announcing to Minato that she's pregnant. The sheer awe and joy the two parents-to-be radiates almost TastesLikeDiabetes.

* Similar to the Sasuke/Sakura moment with Zaku listed above in the Chunin Exams arc, as {{Nightmare Fuel}}ish as it was, Naruto (who ''instantly'' activated his [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Six-Tailed form]] for the first time ever) mercilessly attacks Pain with everything he has, even going as far as transforming to his ''[[UpToEleven Eight-Tailed form]]'' and then [[DarkestHour almost releasing the Nine-Tails]]. His reason? [[BerserkButton Pain attacked Hinata]]. Later on in Chapter 490, Naruto explicitly states that [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Hinata]] was the trigger for his UnstoppableRage.

---> '''Itachi''': "You don't have to forgive me. No matter what you decide to do from now on, I will always love you."

** As he gives Naruto the remainder of his chakra, falling unconscious, Kurama remembers how Naruto vowed to free him of his hatred, and says that Naruto is someone "special" to him, his one and only friend. He's come a long way from being a monster fox.
