    this message is for all you ppl and the admins as well.
    1. if you wanna keep your “clients” .. pick up the pase. i mean, the episode is out since yesturday and has been on may web-sites .. and you put it now, after a day. i thought you are only waiting to get it subbed, but i was wrong.

    2. tell me something guys, is there a price? or why are you all acting like this..first, second .. no i was first..no i was first..do they give you money? no need to answer my last question

76. Boo October 4th, 2008 at 2:00 am 76

    The piece of music played when Asuma got pierced through his heart is very very similar to the one that was played in The Lord of the rings when some elf that was not in the book died in the defence of the Helm Jar.

77. Shippuuden YES October 4th, 2008 at 2:38 am 77

82. rasNgan October 4th, 2008 at 4:16 am 82

    DB said they have stopped subbing shippuden and bleach so I’ not surprised it’s not subbed yet and I don’t think it ever will really

83. a2z October 4th, 2008 at 4:20 am 83

    hey!!!!!! what th fu** no subs

84. Inoxsakura October 4th, 2008 at 4:23 am 84

    I saw episode yesterday. It’s awesome. But I still want to see subbed version. What the hell is wrong with dattebayo, that it didn’t sub yet?????

85. Naruto Rox.....Belive It October 4th, 2008 at 4:27 am 85

    What is wrong with dattebayo.The site wont evn open..

86. rasNgan October 4th, 2008 at 4:34 am 86

    yeah your right you can’t even go on the dattebayo site anymore there seriously will be no more subbed naruto and bleach

    someone copied what the said about it around the most recent comments on shippuden 77 78 on this site

    it sounds like maybe they will start subbing again but no time soon

    I hope someone else will start subbing it or we will seriously have to wait for it to come out in america

    shame really

    funny on this site they say will be subbed soon but I mean BY WHO?

87. rasNgan October 4th, 2008 at 4:39 am 87

    hah the new intro is shit why are they changing it in the middle of a series

88. kakashi4ever October 4th, 2008 at 4:42 am 88

90. kakashi4ever October 4th, 2008 at 4:43 am 90

    ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO SEE VEOH VIDEOS

    DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS PROGRAM> HOTSPOT SHIELD

91. NarutoSubs October 4th, 2008 at 4:44 am 91

    I think this is just one of DB’s threats to the people uploading their subbed verisons to youtube, veoh.. You name it. Therefore, they chose to stop doing it on one of the most exiting episodes, and I bet they did for a reason.

    I agree with the Veoh and YouTube thing. Uploading their subbed naruto is against the rules, and it will eventually cause DB to have to shut down, due to copyright.

    So if you got nothing better to do, flag youtube accounts/vids.
    It’s thanks to those bad ass graphic videos that DB won’t sub.

    So.. Who knows. Will DB keep subbing?

92. Dattebayo hates u October 4th, 2008 at 4:55 am 92

    Dattebayo has taken down their site and most likely will no longer sub naruto and bleach because they are sick of seeing their work on streaming sites which the expressed in their msgs. If u try to bring up the website itll say the page cant be retrieved and then a msg towards the bottom with say: In English, this means you cannot get your Naruto/Bleach fix, you fuckwits! And dont expect it to change anytime soon. Woulda been nice if they did this after this special of naruto cause its a good episode.

100. kakashi4ever October 4th, 2008 at 5:59 am 100

     admin u fkin faggit who do u think u are put the damn subbed episode

101. nuuu D: October 4th, 2008 at 6:00 am 101

     nuu when will it get subbed?! i rly wana see D:

102. cereal monster October 4th, 2008 at 6:04 am 102

     1.this is the ep when…damn…asuma dies,right?
     2.i cant see veoh
     3.calm down everybody…its not db fault…i mean…they try.:)

103. Mohammed ali October 4th, 2008 at 6:11 am 103

     asuma dies and tobi is madara who is seacretly leading atasuki to the doom of konoha. sasuke has a knew team called sanke which is later goin 2 be called hawk lol send back for more info

104. Mohammed ali October 4th, 2008 at 6:15 am 104

     oh and jiriya is going to die by pain aka nagato aka the leader of atasuki but the real leader is uchiha madara

105. Mohammed ali October 4th, 2008 at 6:19 am 105

     4 those who dont knw who uchiha madara is, he is the first person to purses the mongekyou sharingan and the 1st person 2 unlock the sharingan. it was him and the 1st hokage who found konaha but both wanted 2 rule so the fought. it was thought that madara died but he seacretly created atasuki 2 eleminate konaha. madara found a technique 2 let him live for ever thats why he is not dead

106. Mohammed ali October 4th, 2008 at 6:22 am 106

     itachi speared sasukes life because he would later take his eyes and that would him use the mongekyou sharigan for ever. itachi is going blind thats why he needs sasuke to live and regain his sight as uchiha madara did with his little bro

107. Mohammed ali October 4th, 2008 at 6:24 am 107

     madara trained itachi so he could eliminate the uchiha clan u need anymore info

108. rasNgan October 4th, 2008 at 6:31 am 108

     stop having goes at the friggin admin he probably can’t understand japanese (would be great if he could)

     still bloody ridiculous no one except DB can sub shippuden even if so many people are into it

     this may sound hypocritical considering we watch naruto on a site which jacks its vids from DB but most of the attention is on you tube so if we do our part of flagging all of the shippuden eps its the best we can do to bring it back

     I’m surprised DB completely shut down though sheesh

109. Chrone October 4th, 2008 at 6:38 am 109

     oh yeah…no. 1 spot am I? anyway…hope that this episode would be great…steaming in progress…..

     Dattebayo has permanantly droped naruto shippuuden . I honestly think its for the best dattebayo wasnt serious with their things. I hope another subbing group mature enough to do what they like to take on the show.

141. Jinchuriki girl October 4th, 2008 at 11:36 am 141

     If you all want to know what happens so desperately, go read the manga!

157. ... October 4th, 2008 at 1:31 pm 157

     Dattebayo has subbed it

158. Naruto Rox.....Belive It October 4th, 2008 at 1:40 pm 158

     Well dattebayos finally workin.u kno how they r.they just want the spot light cuz they r the only site subbin Naruto.U cant blame them i mean all the world eng sub sites r dependent on them.well without them subbin we all r just helpless.So nways it wasnt workin n now it is so it’ll come out soon.

159. Naruto'sFather:o October 4th, 2008 at 1:46 pm 159

     1st comment!!! woootttt…

     seriously though…can no1 else sub the damn video…even if its a bad sub i could care less…

160. Naruto Rox.....Belive It October 4th, 2008 at 1:51 pm 160

     Well fo those who always think dattebayo has stoped subbin….stop it.They never will cuz they r gr8 Naruto fans.Mayb evn gr8ter than us.thats y they do it for free so we can view it.So whenever a episode dosent come on time dont come 2 stupid conclusions that they stopped subbin.they always threaten us bt they wont ever stop subbin.Come on they r Naruto fans just lik us so just like us they wont stop wachin n subbin(in their case)Naruto.So just hv a little more patience(though i have none)n dont come 2 dumb conclusions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

161. naruto lover October 4th, 2008 at 2:15 pm 161

     I hope dattebayo start subbing because without naruto life won’t be the same

162. Lestat October 4th, 2008 at 2:23 pm 162

164. Maddi October 4th, 2008 at 2:52 pm 164

     I bet the episode will be out either later today or tomorrow…. DB is still subbing Naruto Shippudden and I don’t think they will stop any time soon. Be patient, and in the meantime watch Bleach…. or learn Japanese. Personally though, I’ll stick with English and just wait for the ep. to come out.

165. Naruto'sFather:o October 4th, 2008 at 3:31 pm 165

210. Infinate Shinobi October 5th, 2008 at 7:27 pm 210

     I have come to the conclusion that everyone here is brain dead. It’s a shame, because i enjoy Naruto, and the fact that I seem to share my taste in viewing with some incompitent morons makes me question myself.

211. Maddi October 5th, 2008 at 7:54 pm 211

     the complete story of naruto

     Naruto was born on October 10th to Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage, and Kushina Uzumaki, a kunoichi from the former Whirlpool Country, and was named after the lead character in Jiraiya’s book. As a newborn infant, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, which had attacked the village of Konoha, was sealed within Naruto’s body by his father.

     Despite Minato’s wish that Naruto be seen as a hero rather than a container of the demon fox, the villagers of Konoha harbored a fierce hatred for the young child, since he bore the demon fox who decimated their once peaceful village. Naruto wasn’t even aware of the presence of the demonic entity inside him until he was twelve years old, leaving him confused for most of his childhood about why the villagers of Konoha hated him so much.

     Fortunately, Naruto was befriended by his compassionate ninja instructor, a Chunin named Iruka Umino. Though Iruka’s own parents perished at the hands of the demon fox, Iruka didn’t blame Naruto for their deaths. Instead, Iruka accepted Naruto and empathized with the boy’s desire to be accepted, since he too once had the same desire. He may have been the first person to believe in Naruto, and has made a lasting impact on Naruto himself. It is through Iruka’s presence as Naruto’s only family figure that Naruto learns to overcome his sadness.
     Personality

     Before graduating from the Academy, Naruto had a craving for acknowledgment. He would play pranks all around the village in an attempt to be recognized by its inhabitants. This included, but was not limited to, painting graffiti on the monument depicting the first four Hokages, and transforming himself into a naked female version of himself to annoy his instructors. He would also tell everyone who doubted him on a near-constant basis that he would one day become Hokage. As he tells Iruka, he wishes to achieve this rank in order to be recognized by those around him, and to have the responsibility of defending them. Even after graduating, Naruto is still determined to be recognized, and becomes the “Number One Loudest, Unpredictable, Hyperactive Knuckleheaded Ninja” of Konoha, as described by Kakashi Hatake.

     Naruto’s exuberant personality and fiery desire for self-improvement strongly impacts the lives of those around him. At the beginning of the series, Naruto befriends Konohamaru, the grandson of the Third Hokage, and it is through his brief tutelage that Konohamaru learns that the path to success is through plenty of hard work. Despite his brash, headstrong, and even slightly dumb nature, Naruto is a clever prankster who overcomes his opponents through a combination of willpower, clever diversions, and more-often-than-not dumb luck (though as Kakashi states, luck is very important).

     Naruto has a great sense of humor, albeit somewhat perverted in some cases, and usually smiles and laughs all round (though at times, he smiles to hide whatever is bothering him so no one worries about him; those who are closest to him see right through it). Outside his world, he’s just an ordinary, loud, hotheaded kid with a fierce will and a knack for getting into trouble.

     One of Naruto’s hobbies is gardening, even though Naruto was beaten in episode 20 for not knowing the difference between weeds and herbs. He is the one who gives Kakashi Mr. Ukki, the plant seen on Kakashi’s windowsill (Kishimoto once described how he had the same plant for a while until he fed it undiluted plant food).

     In the Japanese versions, Naruto often ends his sentences with “dattebayo,” and as such has a unique style of speech. In Japanese, an ending with no literal meaning can be added to make the tone sound tougher, childish, girlish, or many other changes depending on the many existing endings. “-ttebayo,” which is not a well-known ending, has no literal meaning and cannot be translated, but carries the connotations of the speaker being uncultured, brusque, and seeming tougher than they really are. In the English anime and video games, he often says “Believe it!” to fit with the mouth movements of “-ttebayo.”

     Despite rapidly maturing throughout the series, Naruto retains a naive streak and a knack for childish accessories. For example, his pajamas always include a comical black nightcap with eyes and teeth. Naruto also keeps his money in a chubby, green-frog wallet he affectionately calls Gama-chan.

     Naruto is an avid eater with an appetite comparable to that of Choji Akimichi’s. His favorite food, ramen, serves as a bond between Naruto and anyone who would treat him to it. In many episodes, he can be seen devouring enormous servings of ramen in a variety of flavors. However, an opportunity to eat any sort of food usually leaves Naruto lying down and exclaiming, “Whew, I ate too much!” with an exaggerated pot belly.

     Even though Naruto is usually quite dense in most cases, which often results in Sakura or someone nearby hitting him, he can actually be quite observant when he wants to be, or the subject tweaks his interest. During their first meeting with Rock Lee, it is Naruto who points out to the rest of Team 7 that Lee’s hand wraps hide his battered and bruised knuckles, indicating Lee is the type of person who trains non-stop.

     In Part II, and a two-and-a-half year time skip, Naruto shows physical growth, sports a new outfit, and appears to not only have increased in strength, speed, and techniques, but intelligence as well, Kakashi even said that Naruto has become very cunning. However, Naruto is still a Genin, since he hasn’t had a chance to take the Chunin Exams again. According to Tsunade, Naruto is also slowly adopting some of Jiraiya’s perverted traits. During his apprenticeship under Jiraiya, Naruto was able to read the latest of the “Icha Icha” series written by Jiraiya, although when he presents a copy to Kakashi, he says he thought it was boring.

     It seems Naruto’s feelings for Sakura have matured. He still has a massive crush on Sakura, however, he is much more mature about it. They have a very easy time communicating with each other, despite the nearly three-year separation. They are capable of having a casual conversation together. They also now seem to like spending time together. Naruto is now noticeably taller than Sakura (in Part I, he is made fun of for being shorter than her), even Kiba states that Naruto has become a “giant”.
     Naruto and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox
     The demon fox, trapped within Naruto.
     The demon fox, trapped within Naruto.

     Main article: Naruto Jinchūriki Forms As the host of the demon fox, both Naruto’s body and occasionally his mind are influenced by it. Physically, Naruto has some of the demon fox’s characteristics, such as whisker-like marks on his cheeks and larger than normal canines. His eyes are also somewhat slitted like a fox. He also has increased stamina and healing ability, which allows him to recover from major injuries within a day and minor injuries within a few seconds. Mentally, Naruto remains largely unaffected, save for a few animalistic traits that slip through, such as his occasional tendency to leap between trees on all fours. Since the demon fox was sealed inside Naruto at birth, it is unclear just what parts of his personality it has had an effect on; however, it could explain Naruto’s devilish side for pulling pranks to gain attention, as well as his stubbornness to never back down from a challenge. These traits become more pronounced as he draws upon the demon fox’s chakra.

     Naruto’s normal chakra level is considered extremely high, partially because of the demon fox. Even without directly drawing upon it, a small amount of the demon fox’s chakra is always mixed with his own. His body instinctively rejects the bulk of it due to the damage it would cause. Ebisu implies that Naruto’s poor chakra control stems from this, as a portion of his chakra is used to reject the demon fox’s overwhelming chakra. According to Kakashi, Naruto’s regular chakra level is about double that of Kakashi’s own. As such, he is naturally suited to jutsu that use a large amount of chakra, such as his signature jutsu: Shadow Clone Technique. While most ninja are only capable of creating a few clones safely, due to the jutsu’s hazard of equally dividing the user’s chakra among the clones, Naruto is able to create upwards of two thousand while maintaining a decent supply of chakra in each one.

     The demon fox’s chakra usually comes to Naruto during life threatening or other stressful situations, given to him by the demon fox itself to ensure its survival. Naruto eventually learns to contact the demon fox and demand some of its chakra, which it seems to comply to out of amusement. The reason Naruto is able to access its chakra is because of the unique way in which it was sealed. Though the demon fox remains trapped within Naruto, its chakra can leak out through the seal and mix with Naruto’s. The demon fox’s near-limitless supply of chakra becomes an invaluable weapon for Naruto, often turning the tide of a difficult battle in his favor. The demon fox’s chakra increases every aspect of Naruto’s physiology, making him a nearly unstoppable force. His speed and strength increase far beyond that of any normal human, and even beyond that of most ninja. It also increases his healing rate, allowing him to regenerate even major wounds in a few seconds. His stamina is also increased beyond its normal level, allowing him to fight without tiring. Finally, if the chakra shield is summoned, it is capable of acting on its own as a separate entity, making it difficult to predict Naruto’s movements. Naruto can usually suppress the demon fox’s chakra by himself before his tailed transformations begin surfacing. Beyond that, the demon fox’s chakra seems to increase in intensity with time. Several external methods can be used to suppress it once this occurs, such as Jiraiya’s sealing talisman or Yamato’s sealing techniques.
     Part I

     See also: Plot of Naruto
     Graduation

     Naruto begins as an unsuccessful student of the ninja academy, having failed the graduation exam twice. Each time, it had been based on the Clone Technique, which he could never perform properly. His third try ends up no different, and it seems as if he’ll have to go through yet another year at the Academy. However, he gets an unusual break in the form of Mizuki, who tricks Naruto into stealing a forbidden scroll in order to steal it himself without being blamed. To do so, he claims that Naruto will graduate if he simply learns a technique from the scroll. In an ironic twist, the jutsu he learns is the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, which is an enhanced form of the regular version. After learning the truth about Mizuki and subsequently beating him to a pulp for it, he is allowed to graduate for learning such an advanced clone technique. Naruto also learns about the demon fox from Mizuki, who tells Naruto about it despite the taboo forbidding it.
     Survival Test and Wave Country arcs

     Having graduated, Naruto is paired with Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha in Team 7. The three do not work well together, and having Kakashi Hatake assigned as their Jonin-sensei doesn’t help matters, since he emphasizes teamwork above all else. His first test, which is designed to test their teamwork, goes badly to say the least, since not one of them passes and Naruto is tied to a post for cheating. However, Kakashi gives them another chance, and they pass the test by learning to think as a team.

     With Team 7 officially formed, they start going on simple missions. Naruto, wanting to be challenged, inadvertently gets Team 7 assigned an A-rank bodyguard mission for a bridge builder named Tazuna, though it was listed as C-rank due to misinformation on the client’s part. In their first battle with two Chunin-level ninja, Naruto freezes out of fear, while Sasuke calmly takes on the enemy. Kakashi intervenes before either is seriously injured, though Naruto is poisoned. Sasuke makes fun of Naruto for his fear, beginning their long-standing rivalry. The rest of the team then have a conversation over what to do about the poison, all the while making Naruto feel like more and more of a burden because he froze. Finally out of frustration Naruto takes action by stabbing a kunai into his wound to bleed out the poison, vowing to protect the bridge-builder and never freeze up again. Kakashi then has to bandage the wound out of fear of Naruto dying of blood loss, but it’s seen that the wound already starts to heal.

     In a subsequent battle against Zabuza Momochi, a Jonin-level ninja sent by evil businessman Gato to assassinate their client, Naruto freezes up again but upon seeing the bandage on his hand and remembering his vow, gets over his fear and works with Sasuke to free Kakashi from a water prison created by Zabuza. Despite their rivalry, the two make a perfect team and free Kakashi, who subsequently defeats Zabuza. Zabuza is saved from death by Haku, who disguised himself as a hunter-nin and put Zabuza into a death-like coma. He departed with the body under the guise of disposing with it for security reasons.

     While they continue protecting the bridge builder, Kakashi teaches Team 7 to walk up trees using chakra. Sakura masters the technique instantly, while Sasuke only gets a short distance and Naruto can’t manage to stick to the practice tree. While normally not one to ask for help, Naruto asks Sakura for pointers, and quickly catches up to Sasuke. The two serve as motivation for one another, since neither wants to lose to the other, and they master the technique in a few days. During their training, Naruto stumbles upon Haku, not knowing who he really is, and the two have a short conversation about protecting those precious to them.

     This conversation serves as a basis for their eventual battle, during which Sasuke seemingly gives his life to protect Naruto (Haku had in fact done the same thing to Sasuke as he had to Zabuza, but deliberately avoids telling Naruto). Enraged, Naruto subconsciously calls upon the demon fox’s chakra and defeats Haku in a blind rage, despite Haku being even stronger than Zabuza. Though it appears as if Naruto will kill Haku, he pulls back when he realizes that Haku is the same person he met in the woods earlier. Haku, having no other purpose in life than to protect Zabuza and fulfill his dreams, asks that Naruto kill him. Naruto is eventually persuaded to do so by the story of Haku’s past, but doesn’t get the chance. Haku, sensing Zabuza was in danger, instead kills himself by intercepting a fatal attack from Kakashi. Zabuza was initially indifferent to Haku’s death, leading to a guilt trip by Naruto. Zabuza actually does care, however, and can’t hide that fact after Naruto’s speech. When Zabuza’s employer betrays him, Zabuza sacrifices his own life to kill him. As a final wish, Zabuza dies next to Haku, hoping to be in death where he wasn’t in life.

     Profoundly affected by the mission, Naruto vows not to become an emotionless weapon as Zabuza and Haku were (for the most part). At the end of the episode, when Naruto and company leave, the villagers decide to name the bridge “The Great Naruto Bridge,” as Naruto changed one character in the arc, Inari, who had lost all hope after his “father” died after Gato had taken control of the Wave Country.
     Chunin Exam and Destruction of Konoha arcs

     Fresh from their mission in the Wave Country, Team 7 is admitted into the Chunin Exams. During this time in particular, Naruto makes several friends out of former enemies, and grows much stronger through these battles. He also sees some of the other Genin in a new light.
     Written Exam

     During the first part of the exam, which is a written exam designed specifically to be too hard for Genin to complete, Naruto is left sweating over the fact that he can’t answer any of the questions. He does not realize that the purpose of the exam is to cheat without being caught by the proctors positioned around the room. Hinata Hyuga, who is sitting next to him, offers to let him copy her test. Though not sure at first, he almost takes her up on her offer. However, he hears the tell-tale sound of a moving pencil from one of the proctors, signifying that they see someone cheating, and decides it’s best not to, since Hinata would get in trouble, too. Hinata is glad that Naruto really does care about her, protecting her from getting into trouble and having to forfeit the Chunin exams. The last question of the test, whose secret answer is merely the willingness to try, is where Naruto’s attitude rubs off on the other Genin. Unwilling to give up, he proclaims in front of everyone participating that he won’t be scared away, and as such many more decide to do the same than they would have otherwise.
     Forest of Death

     During the second part of the exam, Naruto and Sasuke end up in opposite positions as they had during Team 7’s first battle. Sakura and Sasuke, having met Orochimaru after a giant summoned snake ate Naruto, are paralyzed with fear from Orochimaru’s great intention to kill. Naruto, who wasn’t there to experience it, not only kills the giant snake which had previously detained him, but fights off another one of Orochimaru’s summoned snakes by using the demon fox’s chakra. In this instance, he retains control. Sakura and Sasuke get their first look at Naruto’s demon fox state, though they don’t truly understand what it means. After pinning the giant snake, Naruto mocks Sasuke in the same manner as Sasuke had done to him. Orochimaru uses the opportunity to grab Naruto and seal the demon fox’s chakra, which remains sealed until after the preliminary parts of the Chunin Exam. Naruto is left unconscious for the remainder of the fight, and Team 7 only survives because Orochimaru never intended to kill them, only wanting to brand Sasuke with the Cursed Seal of Heaven. To complete this part of the exam, Team 7 and Kabuto Yakushi, a fellow Genin, are forced to fight off a group of Rain Genin, one of whom had attacked Sasuke earlier. Despite his own chakra being disrupted from the seal, Naruto defeats the entire team almost single-handedly using his clones, though a small distraction from Kabuto also helped.
     Preliminary Rounds

     Because of Naruto’s earlier outburst during the first part of the exam, as well as a particularly skilled group of remaining candidates after that point, 21 people make it to the third part of the exam. This is slightly more than twice the normal amount, so preliminary exams are held to cut the numbers in half with one on one battles. Before the exams begin, Sasuke admits to Naruto that he wants to fight him. Naruto is eventually paired against Kiba Inuzuka. Kiba and virtually everyone else present believe Naruto stands no chance, and Kiba even mocks Naruto’s dream of being Hokage. Naruto, however, takes everything Kiba throws at him, despite the clear advantage in Kiba’s favor. Kiba gives Naruto one punch, which nocks him over, but surprising everyone, Naruto gets up. Kiba manages to throw two smoke bombs and Akamaru atacks Naruto and apperiently Naruto is knocked out, but it turns out Naruto transformed into Akamaru to attack Kiba. Kiba is surprised that Naruto learned the transformation Jutsu and the Shadow clone jutsu, when originally he was bad at transforming and the original clone jutsu. Kiba gives Akamaru a special food pill and takes one himself, and his increased strenth and speed completely overwhelms Naruto, but after a while, Naruto gets an idea. after Kiba’s next attack, which involves smoke bombs, Naruto transforms into Kiba and everyone is confused on which one is Naruto and which is Akamaru. Naruto tricks Kiba into attacking Akamaru, but is still at a disadvantage, but paralizes Kiba by farting directly in his face (kiba was trying to attack from behind, then, for the first time, dishes out his Naruto Uzumaki Barrage. Other notable battles include Hinata’s battle against Neji Hyuga. Neji labels Hinata as a failure and a dropout who can’t change her fate, enraging Naruto. After her utter defeat at Neji’s hands, Naruto tries to attack him, but is stopped by Rock Lee, who insists that a dropout defeating a genius would be sight to see, but should be done in a proper match. On Hinata’s spilled blood, Naruto swears to defeat Neji. Sure enough, he gets his chance. Once the preliminaries are over, he is paired against Neji for the first match. The nine remaining candidates are given one month to prepare for the main matches.
     Final Rounds

     Hoping to get a lot of training in during the month-long break, Naruto tries to get Kakashi to help. Kakashi, however, is busy training Sasuke, and leaves Naruto in the care of Ebisu. Ebisu begins training Naruto to walk on water, but the training is cut short with the introduction of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, three of the most powerful ninja alive. Ebisu catches Jiraiya peeping on women and tries to stop him. Not happy about the interruption, Jiraiya summons a toad and has it tongue-whip Ebisu into unconsciousness. Minus one teacher, Naruto insists that Jiraiya replace Ebisu. Always the insatiable pervert, it’s Naruto’s Sexy Jutsu that convinces him to do so. For the remainder of the month, Jiraiya teaches Naruto to summon toads and use the demon fox chakra, which is essential for the former technique. It is during this time that Naruto first summons Gamabunta, who, after cowing Naruto into submission, agrees to make Naruto his subordinate. However, summoning the toad king lands Naruto in the hospital the day before the main matches begin. Shikamaru Nara comes and brings him a fruit basket, but both Naruto and Shikamaru inadvertently catch Gaara attempting to kill Rock Lee, whom he had tried to kill during an earlier battle. During their confrontation, Naruto learns that Gaara contains a demon too, and that their pasts are quite similar. Gaara, however, only had one person acknowledge him, and that one person ended up trying to kill him. This drove Gaara insane, and convinced him that the only way to insure his existence was to kill anyone who threatened it. Gaara would have killed both Naruto and Shikamaru then and there, but Might Guy stops him from doing so.

     Once the main matches begin, Naruto originally appears outmatched once again against the genius Neji. Despite this, Naruto continually questions Neji’s outlook on life, even though every attack he tries is repelled. Neji eventually decides to finish the match by closing off Naruto’s chakra points, but Naruto gets up from this attack, too. Impressed, Neji tells Naruto about his painful past and the cursed seal on his forehead. Neji insists that Naruto could never know what it’s like to carry a mark that will be with him till death, though this couldn’t be further from the truth. Naruto uses his shadow clones throughout the match, but when he finally tricks Neji, Neji uses his Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. Now all hope for Naruto seems to have vanished completely, and even Hinata begins crying, but Naruto remembers about Jiraiya’s statement that Naruto has two kinds of chakra. Not convinced by Neji’s reasoning, Naruto calls upon the demon fox’s chakra, surprising everyone even more, and instantly evens the odds. In the end, Naruto defeats Neji with the use of a shadow clone, which surprises everyone in the arena even more, as they thought Naruto was a terrible ninja who only beat Kiba through dumb luck. This convinces Neji that fate truly can be changed.
     Destruction of Konoha

     After the attack on Konoha begins, Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, and Pakkun are sent to retrieve Sasuke, who is chasing after Gaara. Sasuke had injured Gaara during their battle, so Temari and Kankuro escaped with him so he could recover. During their pursuit, Shikamaru decides to stay behind to deal with a group of Sound-nin tracking them. Though Sakura is unsure if Shikamaru will actually confront them, Naruto has complete faith in him. He notes that Shikamaru is lazy, but when he actually tries to do something will always come through. Upon catching up to Gaara, Naruto is initially unwilling to fight him, since he is aware of just what Gaara is and Sasuke is unable to help. He is convinced to fight after Gaara captures Sakura and pins her with a detached hand of sand, which suffocates her at a slow rate. Since defeating Gaara is the only way to remove it, Naruto gets serious, badly damaging Gaara in order to protect his friends. Even in the face of Gaara’s full Shukaku form, he refuses to give up, summoning Gamabunta and destroying the sand creature with the chief toad’s help. In the end, Naruto lands the final punch on Gaara, leaving him unable to move. Naruto’s not much better off, but crawls his way to Gaara to make sure he’s defeated. As he crawls, he admits to Gaara that he knows the same pain of loneliness, but won’t let Gaara kill the people who saved him from it. Though Sasuke stops Naruto, he still manages to change Gaara’s outlook on life.
     Return of Itachi and Search for Tsunade arcs

     After the attack on Konoha, Jiraiya is asked to become the Fifth Hokage by Konoha’s elders. He declines the offer, however, and instead decides to locate Tsunade, also one of the Legendary Sannin, and have her become the Fifth. The elders offer to have an ANBU squad accompany him, but he refuses. Aside from the fact that traveling with an ANBU squad would only make Tsunade harder to find, he already has someone he wants to take: Naruto. Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, two members of Akatsuki, are searching for Naruto, so Jiraiya is taking Naruto to protect him. Naruto initially doesn’t want to go, but Jiraiya offers to teach him a powerful technique, which instantly sells Naruto on the idea. Despite Jiraiya taking him along for the trip, Itachi and Kisame do eventually find them. Using a hypnotized woman to draw Jiraiya away, the two attempt to kidnap Naruto. The arrival of Sasuke slows them slightly, though only because Itachi is unwilling to finish Sasuke off. Regardless, the short delay is enough time for Jiraiya to arrive and force the two Akatsuki to retreat.

     With the threat from Akatsuki gone, Jiraiya begins teaching Naruto the Rasengan, an advanced A-rank technique, developed by the Fourth Hokage, that only requires one hand and no hand seals to use; it’s chakra manipulation in its purest form. Naruto is mostly left to learn the technique by himself, since he needs to learn the trick to doing it by himself. Jiraiya never tells Naruto this, leaving Naruto disappointed. While they are searching for Tsunade, Tsunade is approached by Orochimaru, who wants her to heal his sealed arms. In exchange, he offers to resurrect her dead brother and lover, and allows her a week to consider the offer. When Jiraiya and Naruto finally find Tsunade, Naruto can’t believe that she’s going to be the Fifth Hokage. Her disrespectful remarks to both the position and the recently deceased Third don’t help matters, and he challenges her to a fight. Against one of the Sannin, Naruto has no chance, and Tsunade holds him off with a single finger. Though he has yet to perfect it, he attempts to use the rasengan on her. She dodges this, too, and then berates Jiraiya for teaching Naruto a technique he can’t possibly master. Naruto insists that he can, and bets that he can learn it in three days. Naruto’s personality reminds Tsunade of her deceased loved ones, so she takes the bet, giving Naruto a week. If Naruto wins, she’ll accept that he can become Hokage, and give him her incredibly valuable necklace that originally belonged to the First Hokage. Her two deceased loved ones had also owned it for a time, and died soon after receiving it.

     By week’s end, Naruto still hasn’t mastered the technique, but notes that he has an alternate means of completing it should it be necessary. Their bet is interrupted by the arrival of Orochimaru and Kabuto, whom Tsunade betrays. Naruto is initially left out of the fight, but comes to Tsunade’s aid after Kabuto tries to kill her. It is during their fight that Naruto finally completes the rasengan, using a shadow clone to do what he could not do by himself. Kabuto is severely injured by the technique, but injures Naruto just as badly. Naruto is saved by Tsunade, who gets over her hemophobia, or fear of blood, in order to save him. He regains consciousness just long enough to proclaim he won their bet. In turn, she gives him her necklace and accepts that he will become Hokage someday.
     Sasuke Retrieval arc

     In the anime, a short filler arc involving a mission to the Land of Tea precedes this arc. This filler arc does little except reinforce Sasuke’s point of view in the next arc. After returning with Tsunade and having Sasuke healed, Naruto recognizes Sakura’s feelings for Sasuke. Though still jealous, he is mature enough not to get in the way. Meanwhile, Sasuke broods over the substantial progress Naruto has made in comparison to his own. Feeling inferior, Sasuke challenges Naruto to a fight. The two go to the roof of the hospital, where each voices their opinion of their rivalry, with Naruto insisting they’re equals while Sasuke thinks otherwise. Their battle is short, ending with each trying to use their most powerful attack on the other. Kakashi steps in to prevent them from injuring Sakura, who attempts to intervene. Kakashi deflects their attacks into adjacent water towers. At first, it appears as if Sasuke did more damage, because Naruto’s tower only had a small hole in the front while Sasuke’s was greatly damaged. Later it is revealed Naruto’s attack also blew a large hole out the back of the tower, demonstrating that Naruto’s strength is greatly superior. Though Kakashi tries to convince Sasuke to give up his quest for revenge, his defeat at the hands of the Sound Four leads him to defect to Orochimaru.

     Naruto’s friends hold off the Sound Four so Naruto can reach Sasuke. Once he does, the two have a much more serious battle, during which they each bring out their respective “gifts,” those being Naruto’s demon fox chakra and Sasuke’s cursed seal. During the battle, Sasuke claims that he doesn’t need any friends, as that does nothing to make him more powerful, since killing Itachi is his only goal. Naruto refuses to accept Sasuke’s decision, as by his own admission Sasuke is like a brother to him and he can’t bear to lose him to the twisted path of self-destruction he has chosen. This drives Naruto to draw upon the demon fox’s chakra to such a degree that he nearly overcomes Sasuke’s fully awakened Sharingan. As such, Sasuke finally acknowledges Naruto as an equal. In the end, the two use their most powerful attacks against each other once more, only this time enhancing the attacks with their respective gifts. They do not go through with their attacks, however. Naruto purposefully misses, instead scratching Sasuke’s headband, and Sasuke doesn’t kill Naruto because he doesn’t want to become like Itachi (though this mentality seemingly changes in Part II as he now has no reservations about killing Naruto).

     With Sasuke’s successful defection, Naruto’s main goal is to bring Sasuke back before Orochimaru can take him as his new host. Jiraiya, recognizing Naruto’s determination, remembers his own attempt to stop Orochimaru from defecting. Though he clearly believes Naruto’s goal to be foolish, he takes Naruto with him for a two-and-a-half year period of training. There is a three-month break before this happens, which was covered by series of filler arcs in the anime. Like the Tea Country arc, these provide very little plot and character development. There are a few exceptions (i.e Hinata, Anko), but none involve Naruto’s character directly.
     Part II

     Rescue Gaara Arc
     Naruto in Part II
     Naruto in Part II

     When Part II begins, Naruto reestablishes himself in Konoha, after meeting some of his old friends again. Kakashi then takes the remaining members of Team 7 for a second bell test, which even with their now excellent team work, the two couldn’t take the bells from Kakashi by force. It was Naruto who thought of using Kakashi’s obsession with the Icha Icha series of books to their advantage. Naruto and Sakura rushed Kakashi at once, with Naruto yelling spoilers for the new book, causing Kakashi to close his eyes, thus losing the advantage of the Sharingan, and his ears so he couldn’t hear what they were saying, allowing the two to retrieve the bells. Afterwards, Tsunade gave them a mission, a request from Sunagakure, to help rescue their captured Kazekage.

     It was when Team 7 was on the way to Sunagakure that Naruto finally reveals to Sakura and Temari that the demon fox was sealed inside him. Sakura sympathizes with him, as does Temari, who is very grateful to Naruto for the change in her little brother, Gaara. With this revelation, Sakura begins to understand why the village hated him and why he was so alone growing up. Continuing on their mission with the help of Team Guy Naruto and his team got as far as to find Gaara, already dead, the Shukaku extracted from him by the Akatsuki, and the only members there, Deidara, and Sasori. In a rage, Naruto goes after Deidara alone, after the latter used one of his clay creations to grab Gaara’s body as bait to capture Naruto as well, with Kakashi deciding to back him up. While they chased him, Kakashi used his Mangekyo Sharingan to cripple Deidara, allowing Naruto and a few clones to grab and attack him, while another grabed his clay bird to retrieve Gaara’s body, whom Naruto hoped survived. Seeing Gaara’s body and releasing that the Deidara he was attacking was just a Clay Clone, Naruto becomes enraged. Kakashi watches as Naruto begins to grow two chakra tails of the demon fox, to which he quickly supresses before its complete, using a seal Jiraiya gave him just before the mission. When Deidara escapes and Chiyo revives Gaara at the cost of her life, Team 7 and Team Guy return to Konoha, with new information about Orochimaru’s location.
     Sai and Sasuke Arc

     When the teams return to Konoha, Naruto is reunited with Shino, whom Naruto couldn’t recongize because of his hood, Kiba, who calls Naruto a “giant” because he is now taller than him, and Hinata, is so overcome with emotions by simply seeing Naruto, she couldn’t bring herself to see him herself, instead looking up to see Naruto talking to her and faints. Later Naruto meets up with Shikamaru and Choji before the three are “attacked” by Ink Lions, created by Sai, the repleacement of Sasuke in Team 7. Team 7 is then given a new leader, the ANBU ninja, Yamato, for their next mission, to use Sasori’s information to get info on Orochimaru’s plans, and more importantly, get Sasuke back. On the way, Sai’s personality, and his general lack of respect for the traitorious Sasuke causes conflicts with his other teammates.

     The meeting with Kabuto doesn’t however go as planned as Orochimaru himself shows up before they could get the information from Kabuto. Yamato calls his team for support, but Orochimaru brings up the touchy situtaion of Sasuke. Naruto enraged that Orochimaru is refering to Sasuke like he belonged to him demanded Sasuke to be returned to them, and quickly slips from one to three-tails transformation. When its clear Orochimaru couldn’t be beaten that easily, his fury increases and Naruto slips into the grasp of the demon fox, and he grows four chakra tails, allowing the demon fox to take over his body, turning him into a miniature demon fox.

     In battle, four-tailed Naruto was almost unbeatable. No matter what Orochimaru attacked him with, Naruto either shrugged it off, or attacked with greater force. Finally, Naruto began to charge a concentrated chakra ball and fired it that seemingly defeated Orochimaru. However Orochimaru simply used his snake like body to expand his neck and stabing Naruto in the chest with his Kusanagi Sword, which sends Naruto back towards the bridge, but doesn’t go through his chakra shield. Kabuto mentions to Sakura that Naruto is like this because of his desire to save Sasuke, and to fulfill his promise to Sakura to bring him home, to the point where he would kill Orochimaru and not even be conscious. In tears, Sakura runs to try to talk sense into Naruto, saying she will bring Sasuke back for both of them, but the four-tailed Naruto instead attacks her with one of his tails, injuring her left arm and thus leaving an opening for Yamato’s wood trap. Yamato then forceably supresses the demon fox’s chakra so Naruto turns back to normal, but covered in his own blood. As Sakura heals him, Sakura reveals to Yamato that she wants to be more helpful to Naruto and be there for him and beat the Akatsuki, who was commenting that Sakura has stronger feelings for Naruto than she’ll admit, but he was interuppted by Naruto regaining consciousness.

     When the remainder of the team breaks into Orochimaru’s hidout they first find Sai who reveals to them his mission from Danzo, to side with Orochimaru in destroying Konoha, and to then betray him in the end. They bring Sai out of the base where he questions Naruto on why he would risk his life to save someone who doesn’t care about him anymore, and Naruto explains that he is his friend, the first person to truely acknowledge his existance, just then Kabuto appears but is quickly subdued by Sai. With Kabuto temporarily delt with, they once again break into to split up to find Sasuke, Sakura going with Yamato, and Sai going with Naruto. Together, Sai sees his brother in Naruto and he finally smiles from the heart, only to be interuppted by the deviant, Orochimaru. Naruto tells Sai he will deal with Orochimaru while he goes after Sasuke. When Sakura and Yamato arrive to support Naruto, Orochimaru simply tells them he would rather go after Sai now and dissappears. Yamato shows Naruto and Sakura Sai’s Bingo Book, with Sasuke’s profile. Naruto initally refuses to believe Sai would try to kill Sasuke, but remembers what he told them when they first met; a smile can fool anyone, even if its fake.

     As they search the compound, they hear a loud explosion and follow it leading them to Sai and Sasuke. Sasuke looks down at his former teammates with very little concern, as Sai explains his new intentions to help them bring Sasuke back. When Sasuke explains that bonds had made him weak, made him lose sight of his goal, which was to kill Itachi, Naruto questions why Sasuke didn’t kill him at the Valley of the End in their last fight. Sasuke explains that he spared Naruto only on a whim, and it is b a whim that he’s going to end Naruto at that moment. Sasuke then asked why someone who wishes to become Hokage would risk so much just to save one person. Naruto explained that if he couldn’t even save one person, he shouldn’t be Hokage. At that moment, Sai comes to block the blade from cutting into Naruto and a short fight begins with Sasuke having the clear upper hand. After getting hit with Sasuke’s Chidori Current, Naruto’s consciousness is sent to the sewer where he has another talk with the demon fox. This moment gives a sign of the seal weakening, as when first revealed the demon fox could barely get its claws through the gate [1], to now the demon fox could pull itself, even if its just its chakra a great deal out of its cage[2]. Naruto tells the demon fox that he doesn’t want to see it’s face anymore, and that he doesn’t want to use the it’s chakra. The demon fox mocks Naruto[3] and tells him that Naruto has always been running to it’s aid when ever he was in a fight, but Naruto tells the demon fox that he doesn’t need it anymore, just as Sasuke appears inside Naruto’s mind. Sasuke simply says he could “see” the demon fox. The demon fox tells him and Naruto that Sasuke’s eyes has power and chakra that is far more sinister than it’s own, because his Sharingan reminded it of Madara Uchiha. When Sasuke suppresses the demon fox’s chakra back into its cage, it then warns Sasuke not to kill Naruto, as he would live to regret it. [4]

     It is also shown that Sasuke’s defection still affects Naruto and Sakura, and when the whole of Team 7 (minus Kakashi) finally meets after two and a half years, Sasuke greets them, as he did when they became a team, with cold indifference, and says he doesn’t care if he becomes Orochimaru’s vessel as long as Itachi will die. He even attempts to kill Sakura and Naruto. Later, after Sasuke leaves with Orochimaru and Kabuto, Naruto and Sakura are clearly upset that he is no longer the Sasuke they knew.

     After his “reunion” with Sasuke, and the realization that after all his special training he is no closer to saving Sasuke, Naruto sinks into a deep depression. His outlook is changed, however, when Kakashi tells him that he will train Naruto to create a unique jutsu that could possibly give him the strength to finally meet Sasuke on an even level. Finally receiving the one-on-one training with Kakashi that he has always desired, and with his last encounter with Sasuke driving him, Naruto becomes more serious and focused than he’s ever been. During his training, Kakashi remarks that he believes Naruto will surpass the Fourth Hokage and later, even sees a vision of the Fourth Hokage around Naruto. Also, after Naruto shows off the results of his special training Kakashi admits to himself that Naruto has surpassed him.
     Hidan and Kakuzu Arc

     While continuing his training, Kakashi and Yamato began to explain to him elemental chakra. To further understand this, Naruto was sent to Asuma Sarutobi, who was skilled at the same wind chakra Naruto has. While training Naruto was given the deadline by Tsunade to master elemental chakra, or he would be unable to aid Team 10 and Kakashi deal with the two Akatsuki members Hidan and Kakuzu.

     Naruto and Yamato arrived to help Choji, Ino, and Kakashi battle Kakuzu, who so far has been revealed to be more than a match for the team. Naruto challanges Kakuzu himself and reveals his new jutsu, the Wind Release: Rasengan, and its special ability, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. After one failed attempt, Naruto managed to get behind Kakuzu, trapping him in the incredable vortex of wind, tearing Kakuzu apart. When Shikamaru arrived to tell them Hidan was delt with, they return to Konoha. Upon their return, Naruto needed to be hospitalized due to injuries to the arm he used the Rasenshuriken in. Tsunade told Kakashi that the Rasenshuriken caused cellular damage to cells in his arms which could render him unable to use chakra, and has since forbidden the use of the technique.

     After the team returns Naruto, Sakura, and Sai are in Ichiraku’s ramen bar. As Naruto tries eating with his left hand, and has much difficulty, Sakura remembers when she was healing Naruto. Also remembering his words about them getting closer together and to Sasuke she offers to feed him. This greatly shocks and excites Naruto. But as she was going to start Sai starts feeding him. This causes Naruto to get extremely aggrivated at Sai and reminds him to be aware of the intimate moment he and Sakura were having if he decides to help again.
     Hunt for Uchiha

     Team Yamato would later be called into Tsunade’s office where Jiraiya informed that Sasuke has killed Orochimaru. With joy, Naruto expects Sasuke to return to Konoha on his own, but Tsunade and Jiraiya tells him thats not the case. Naruto then asks Tsunade to form a team to hunt down Itachi for a single purpose; Sasuke is after Itachi, if Konoha captures Itachi, Sasuke would have no choice but return home. Tsunade assigns Team Yamato, Kakashi, and the members of Team 8; Hinata, Shino, and Kiba to hunt down Itachi.

     While searching, Naruto, Yamato, and Hinata were found by Kabuto. Kabuto tells them how without Orochimaru, he was left without a leader and has since made a resolve to make himself stronger. But to achieve this, Kabuto implanted Orochimaru’s remains into his own body. Kabuto left the group vowing he would return to kill Naruto once he takes care of Orchimaru’s killer. After this, the 8-man squad heard and followed a large explosion and went to investigate. Kiba informed them that Sasuke was there at that explosion and he could follow his scent. Unfortunantly, Karin sensed them coming and attempted to lead them off the trail by using Sasuke’s old clothes and scatter them in different directions. Naruto used his Shadow Clone Technique to follow the scents, only to find Itachi. Naruto attacked Itachi, who only wanted to talk. Itachi asked Naruto why he cared so much about Sasuke to which Naruto explained that Sasuke was like a brother to him and he would be a much better brother to him than he (Itachi) could ever be. To this response, Itachi gave a rare smile (possibly because of what he had already sacrificed to protect Sasuke). Naruto again tried to attack him but was quickly caught in his genjutsu. Once again regrouping with the squad, one of Naruto’s shadow clones was destroyed when Sasuke plowed through it, once again leading them to Sasuke’s trail. While still following Sasuke the squad runs into Tobi, who taunts them playfully until Naruto attempts to attack him with a Rasengan. Instead, Naruto phases straight through Tobi. He is then apart of the battle group as they tried several different formations to take down Tobi, but all failed, leaving Shino to use his clans secret techniques to handle him. Tobi retreats when he hears of Itachi’s death. Naruto’s team rushes to the battlefield, to find Sasuke’s scent mixed with the scent of the Akatsuki, and none of them present.

     It was later revealed by Itachi that he had transfered some of his power to Naruto before he died. It is suspected he did this because he anticipated Sasuke’s attack on Konoha. To what extent these powers have been granted is unknown.
     Post Hunt For Uchiha Arc

     Upon returning to Konoha, Naruto recalls when he met with Itachi during the hunt. Itachi had transfered some of his power to Naruto before he died, and asked could Naruto kill Sasuke if he ever became a threat to the village. Before he could ponder this issue further, Kakashi, along with Gamabunta and Gamakichi, told Naruto that the Fifth needs him. When he arrived at the Hokage Residence, the full members of Team Yamato/Kakashi, several Toads, and Fukasaku were waiting for him. There he was told that Jiraiya died in his battle with Pain. Grief stricken, Naruto blamed Tsunade for his death and departed. He spent the rest of the day mourning the loss of his teacher, musing over the fact he had wanted Jiraiya to be there when he became Hokage. Iruka comforted Naruto, telling him that Jiraiya had always been proud of him and what he had and would become.
     Sage Arts Training

     After he assisted Shikamaru in deciphering Jiraiya’s code, Naruto was dead set on destroying Pain. Fukasaku offered to train Naruto in the sage arts, seeing as Naruto stood no chance of killing the apparent Akatsuki leader. Naruto readily accepted his offer. Then Naruto and Fukasaku traveled to Myobokuzan through a reverse summon from Gamakichi. The sage arts is a way to make a ninja’s chakra mixed together with nature, or the ground, atmosphere, and all the things that are related to nature. Fukasaku demonstrated it to Naruto by lifting a giant statue, and Naruto had a hard time understanding about the sage arts. Eventually, he began to sense the nature around him through the use of toad oil. He was eventually able to lift a giant frog statue. Even Fukasaku thinks that Naruto is learning at a faster rate than Jiraiya. After he masters using the toad oil, Fukasuku told Naruto that he had to master senjustsu without the oil now. But before they began, he handed Naruto Jiraya’s first book “The Legend of the Gutsy Ninja.” This was the book that gave him his name.

     Soon after, Fukasaku tried to make Naruto stand still while balancing on a spike. After achieving balance, Naruto became a sage and entered Sage Mode. Fukasaku was amazed to see that Naruto only had sage eyes and no toad mutations while in Sage Mode. At night, Naruto began training in secret to perfect a secret jutsu.
     Abilities

     At the start of the series, the only jutsu Naruto could do without fail was the Sexy Technique,[5] a creative but almost completely useless diversionary technique used simply to shock his instructors. Though Naruto had trouble with the Clone Technique at the start of the series, he quickly learns how to use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the smaller-scale Shadow Clone Technique, Jonin-level techniques, in both the first episode and chapter of the series. This particular ninjutsu grows to be his most-used technique, as it often serves as the basis for other moves. The Shadow Clone technique allows Naruto to create replicas of himself. Unlike the Clone technique, the replicas are physical beings rather than illusions, making them capable of attacking and intercepting blows, and even adding intensity to one’s training. He even uses his Shadow Clones to “add” to his first jutsu to create the Harem Technique,[6] though it is still a fairly useless technique.

     At the start of the series, Naruto primarily creates Shadow Clones for the purpose of taijutsu in terms of combat. Naruto also often creates Shadow Clones to act as decoys or for other deceptive tactics, such as diverting attention away from himself so that he may use the Transformation Technique unnoticed. Naruto makes more intelligent and better control of his clones as the series progresses. In his fight with Neji, for instance, Naruto dispersed several of his clones once one was hit, creating the illusion that Neji had hit the real Naruto.[7] Later in the series, Naruto would hide away while several clones attack, confusing the enemy when there was no Naruto remaining. During his fight with Gaara, Naruto even uses his clones as shields and platforms to bound off of in the air. By Naruto: Shippūden, Naruto’s usage and timing of the technique has become more advanced. Various tactics he has shown include creating clones to push himself out of the way of an attack, transform into weapons, and fall for traps in his stead.
     Naruto in Hermit Mode
     Naruto in Hermit Mode

     Naruto was also taught the Summoning Technique from Jiraiya which he could use against larger opponents. Naruto signed the toad contract, so like Jiraiya, he can only summon toads. The type of toads he can summon is proportional to his chakra and skill, as when he started out he could only summon tadpoles. When he uses the demon fox’s chakra, he was able to summon the toad boss Gamabunta. When he doesn’t use the demon fox’s chakra, he seems to have a hard time getting any specific toad as he summons Gamakichi or Gamatatsu. As the animals have minds of their own, Naruto has difficulty controlling them, meaning that they typically have to become motivated to fight on their own. He has also trained to become a sage, and he has learned how to enter Hermit Mode, which boosts his power and endurance.

     But Naruto’s most useful offensive technique is the Rasengan, a jutsu his father invented. Unlike Jiraiya or Kakashi, Naruto has to use two hands to create the Rasengan, due to his lack of chakra control. However, even with his two hands, he couldn’t form a proper Rasengan sphere. It wasn’t until his fight with Kabuto did Naruto use his own hand to create the shell, and used a shadow clone to spin the chakra creating a perfect Rasengan. When he is in his tailed transformations, he seems to have the ability to mold the chakra into a sphere using the demon fox’s chakra alone. In Part II, Naruto showed off his own version of the Rasengan, a larger version simply called the Great Ball Rasengan, but would later go through element training and has since made his own version of the Rasengan. The Wind Release: Rasengan just like the standard is half complete, but Naruto has showed to use it quite well as he was able to create the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

     In each movie, Naruto uses different variant of Rasengan. In Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, the Seven-Colored Rasengan, which relied on the Spring Heat Generators, was used to defeat Doto Kazahana. In Naruto the Movie 2: Legend of the Stone of Gelel, the Twin Rasengan, which relied on Temujin’s Gelel chakra, and the Demon Fox Rasengan, which relied on Naruto’s Shadow Clone, were used to defeat Haido. In Naruto the Movie 3: Great Excitement! The Animal Panic of Crescent Moon Island, the Crescent Moon Rasengan, which relied on the crescent moon’s light, was used to defeat Ishidate. In Naruto: Shippūden the Movie, the Naruto-Shion Super Chakra Rasengan, which is the combined chakra from both Naruto and the priestess, Shion, was used to destroy the demon Mōryō. Naruto also used the Twin Rasengan in Naruto: Shippūden the Movie against the Giant Stone Warriors.

     dont get me wrong, naruto is strong (but not stronger than kakashi!!!), he just isnt for the job of hokage… look at tsunade, she can punch like hell, and all she does all day is reading the damn papers!! you think naruto would be good at reading papers?? think again
     and what the hell, naruto is not stronger than kakashi!! he just hit him in the weak spot, when the fought back in the episode 3

     i wanted to ask the same question… i always watch the episode till the very end, because then they say when is the next episode coming out, but this time, they didnt… i wonder why…

303. kakashi4ever October 10th, 2008 at 1:44 pm 303

     i think that kakashi will become the next hokage

304. Naruto Rox.....Belive It October 10th, 2008 at 1:55 pm 304

     Well today is 10th October so it Naruto’s Birthday,So HAPPY BIRTHDAY NARUTO!!!

305. Naruto Rox.....Belive It October 10th, 2008 at 2:03 pm 305

     FYI. i m not refering 2 the time Naruto punched Kakashi in the so called weak spot.I m refering 2 the time when Naruto 1st used Rasenshuriken when Kakashi the man of the movement himself said that Naruto u hv surpassed me.N that was b4 he started the sage arts.Go see it in the manga.Kakashi says that.

     N i dont think Kakashi will become the next Hokage.So Hatake Kakashi n kakashi4ever wanna bet on who gets 2 b the next Hokage.
     My votes for Naruto.N guess what i guess Kishimoto’s on my side,Cuz i bet he luvs Naruto too.Thats why he made Naruto.

306. mohini October 10th, 2008 at 2:51 pm 306

     !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yo man this aint workin i can only get it to like a minute then it acts like its over!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

307. Hatake Kakashi October 10th, 2008 at 3:41 pm 307

     my vote??
     hmmm…. well, i think its going to be either kakashi or shikamaru

     now, i just read that chapter again… about that fight with kakuzu, remember, kakashi fought him when he had 5 hearts, when he could use 5 elements and kakashi managed to kill himm twice… naruto fought him when he had only 3 and kakuzu would have killed him if kakashi havent saved him…

     dont get me wrong, please, i think that naruto is great and all, but he just isnt smart enough to be a hokage… while shikamaru, my next candidate is the best man for the job… he took hidan on his own… if he would be hokage, and if konoha would be under attack, he could organize defenses, find the enemys weakness, and organize an attack… and naruto would only rush for the enemy leaving entire vilage unorganized…

308. Hatake Kakashi October 10th, 2008 at 3:50 pm 308

     and if itachi is alive im adding him to my list of potential hokages!!!

309. Maddi October 10th, 2008 at 4:32 pm 309

     ….. Naruto will be the next hokage….. but I wish it was Kakashi : (

310. sasak October 10th, 2008 at 4:37 pm 310

     i love naruto so much

311. kakashi4ever October 10th, 2008 at 5:12 pm 311

     REASONS WHY NARUTO WILL NOT BECOME A HOKAGE:

     1) hes so dumb
     2) hes still a genin
     3) if he became a hokage the show will end….period

312. i lostmymemory October 10th, 2008 at 5:57 pm 312

     1) yes he is dumb
     2) he skips chunin and jounin and goes straight to hokage
     3) i cant answer the 3rd one lol

313. hahaHAHAhahaHAAH October 10th, 2008 at 6:00 pm 313

     im not sure wat im talkin bout but i say 4th hokage should be hokage

314. NineTailFox October 10th, 2008 at 10:33 pm 314

     he does have a point

315. NineTailFox October 10th, 2008 at 10:36 pm 315

     he does become hokage and it goes through couple more eps then naruto ends : ( its true i asked the ppl who made it WAAA WAAA

316. NineTailFox October 10th, 2008 at 10:37 pm 316

     but thats a lot of eps 2 go : )

317. Naruto Rox.....Belive It October 11th, 2008 at 12:38 am 317

     Yeh probably if Naruto becomes Hokage the show will end.U got a point there.But hes got 2 become Hokege some time.But ok b4 Tsunade became the Hokage she was this huge gambling creep who thought of nothing but money.But after she became the Hokage she got a sense of responsibility n started doing all the paper work.But her character changed n developed in episodes 98.99 n 100.So Naruto will grow up 2.N think abt it Tsunade didnt want 2 become Hokage in the first place.But Naruto’s always talked abt becoming Hokage.So hes ready 2 do anything.evn read stupid documents.
     Well Shikamaru will do well n so will Kakashi.But Shikamarus 2 weak n if i say nthin 2 kakashi u ppl will pounce on me probably.i lik kakashi too bt i still want Naruto.Besides i think Neji will also do well as a Hokage.

     the complete story of naruto

     Naruto was born on October 10th to Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage, and Kushina Uzumaki, a kunoichi from the former Whirlpool Country, and was named after the lead character in Jiraiya’s book. As a newborn infant, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, which had attacked the village of Konoha, was sealed within Naruto’s body by his father.

     Despite Minato’s wish that Naruto be seen as a hero rather than a container of the demon fox, the villagers of Konoha harbored a fierce hatred for the young child, since he bore the demon fox who decimated their once peaceful village. Naruto wasn’t even aware of the presence of the demonic entity inside him until he was twelve years old, leaving him confused for most of his childhood about why the villagers of Konoha hated him so much.

     Fortunately, Naruto was befriended by his compassionate ninja instructor, a Chunin named Iruka Umino. Though Iruka’s own parents perished at the hands of the demon fox, Iruka didn’t blame Naruto for their deaths. Instead, Iruka accepted Naruto and empathized with the boy’s desire to be accepted, since he too once had the same desire. He may have been the first person to believe in Naruto, and has made a lasting impact on Naruto himself. It is through Iruka’s presence as Naruto’s only family figure that Naruto learns to overcome his sadness.
     Personality

     Before graduating from the Academy, Naruto had a craving for acknowledgment. He would play pranks all around the village in an attempt to be recognized by its inhabitants. This included, but was not limited to, painting graffiti on the monument depicting the first four Hokages, and transforming himself into a naked female version of himself to annoy his instructors. He would also tell everyone who doubted him on a near-constant basis that he would one day become Hokage. As he tells Iruka, he wishes to achieve this rank in order to be recognized by those around him, and to have the responsibility of defending them. Even after graduating, Naruto is still determined to be recognized, and becomes the “Number One Loudest, Unpredictable, Hyperactive Knuckleheaded Ninja” of Konoha, as described by Kakashi Hatake.

     Naruto’s exuberant personality and fiery desire for self-improvement strongly impacts the lives of those around him. At the beginning of the series, Naruto befriends Konohamaru, the grandson of the Third Hokage, and it is through his brief tutelage that Konohamaru learns that the path to success is through plenty of hard work. Despite his brash, headstrong, and even slightly dumb nature, Naruto is a clever prankster who overcomes his opponents through a combination of willpower, clever diversions, and more-often-than-not dumb luck (though as Kakashi states, luck is very important).

     Naruto has a great sense of humor, albeit somewhat perverted in some cases, and usually smiles and laughs all round (though at times, he smiles to hide whatever is bothering him so no one worries about him; those who are closest to him see right through it). Outside his world, he’s just an ordinary, loud, hotheaded kid with a fierce will and a knack for getting into trouble.

     One of Naruto’s hobbies is gardening, even though Naruto was beaten in episode 20 for not knowing the difference between weeds and herbs. He is the one who gives Kakashi Mr. Ukki, the plant seen on Kakashi’s windowsill (Kishimoto once described how he had the same plant for a while until he fed it undiluted plant food).

     In the Japanese versions, Naruto often ends his sentences with “dattebayo,” and as such has a unique style of speech. In Japanese, an ending with no literal meaning can be added to make the tone sound tougher, childish, girlish, or many other changes depending on the many existing endings. “-ttebayo,” which is not a well-known ending, has no literal meaning and cannot be translated, but carries the connotations of the speaker being uncultured, brusque, and seeming tougher than they really are. In the English anime and video games, he often says “Believe it!” to fit with the mouth movements of “-ttebayo.”

     Despite rapidly maturing throughout the series, Naruto retains a naive streak and a knack for childish accessories. For example, his pajamas always include a comical black nightcap with eyes and teeth. Naruto also keeps his money in a chubby, green-frog wallet he affectionately calls Gama-chan.

     Naruto is an avid eater with an appetite comparable to that of Choji Akimichi’s. His favorite food, ramen, serves as a bond between Naruto and anyone who would treat him to it. In many episodes, he can be seen devouring enormous servings of ramen in a variety of flavors. However, an opportunity to eat any sort of food usually leaves Naruto lying down and exclaiming, “Whew, I ate too much!” with an exaggerated pot belly.

     Even though Naruto is usually quite dense in most cases, which often results in Sakura or someone nearby hitting him, he can actually be quite observant when he wants to be, or the subject tweaks his interest. During their first meeting with Rock Lee, it is Naruto who points out to the rest of Team 7 that Lee’s hand wraps hide his battered and bruised knuckles, indicating Lee is the type of person who trains non-stop.

     In Part II, and a two-and-a-half year time skip, Naruto shows physical growth, sports a new outfit, and appears to not only have increased in strength, speed, and techniques, but intelligence as well, Kakashi even said that Naruto has become very cunning. However, Naruto is still a Genin, since he hasn’t had a chance to take the Chunin Exams again. According to Tsunade, Naruto is also slowly adopting some of Jiraiya’s perverted traits. During his apprenticeship under Jiraiya, Naruto was able to read the latest of the “Icha Icha” series written by Jiraiya, although when he presents a copy to Kakashi, he says he thought it was boring.

     It seems Naruto’s feelings for Sakura have matured. He still has a massive crush on Sakura, however, he is much more mature about it. They have a very easy time communicating with each other, despite the nearly three-year separation. They are capable of having a casual conversation together. They also now seem to like spending time together. Naruto is now noticeably taller than Sakura (in Part I, he is made fun of for being shorter than her), even Kiba states that Naruto has become a “giant”.
     Naruto and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox
     The demon fox, trapped within Naruto.
     The demon fox, trapped within Naruto.

     Main article: Naruto Jinchūriki Forms As the host of the demon fox, both Naruto’s body and occasionally his mind are influenced by it. Physically, Naruto has some of the demon fox’s characteristics, such as whisker-like marks on his cheeks and larger than normal canines. His eyes are also somewhat slitted like a fox. He also has increased stamina and healing ability, which allows him to recover from major injuries within a day and minor injuries within a few seconds. Mentally, Naruto remains largely unaffected, save for a few animalistic traits that slip through, such as his occasional tendency to leap between trees on all fours. Since the demon fox was sealed inside Naruto at birth, it is unclear just what parts of his personality it has had an effect on; however, it could explain Naruto’s devilish side for pulling pranks to gain attention, as well as his stubbornness to never back down from a challenge. These traits become more pronounced as he draws upon the demon fox’s chakra.

     Naruto’s normal chakra level is considered extremely high, partially because of the demon fox. Even without directly drawing upon it, a small amount of the demon fox’s chakra is always mixed with his own. His body instinctively rejects the bulk of it due to the damage it would cause. Ebisu implies that Naruto’s poor chakra control stems from this, as a portion of his chakra is used to reject the demon fox’s overwhelming chakra. According to Kakashi, Naruto’s regular chakra level is about double that of Kakashi’s own. As such, he is naturally suited to jutsu that use a large amount of chakra, such as his signature jutsu: Shadow Clone Technique. While most ninja are only capable of creating a few clones safely, due to the jutsu’s hazard of equally dividing the user’s chakra among the clones, Naruto is able to create upwards of two thousand while maintaining a decent supply of chakra in each one.

     The demon fox’s chakra usually comes to Naruto during life threatening or other stressful situations, given to him by the demon fox itself to ensure its survival. Naruto eventually learns to contact the demon fox and demand some of its chakra, which it seems to comply to out of amusement. The reason Naruto is able to access its chakra is because of the unique way in which it was sealed. Though the demon fox remains trapped within Naruto, its chakra can leak out through the seal and mix with Naruto’s. The demon fox’s near-limitless supply of chakra becomes an invaluable weapon for Naruto, often turning the tide of a difficult battle in his favor. The demon fox’s chakra increases every aspect of Naruto’s physiology, making him a nearly unstoppable force. His speed and strength increase far beyond that of any normal human, and even beyond that of most ninja. It also increases his healing rate, allowing him to regenerate even major wounds in a few seconds. His stamina is also increased beyond its normal level, allowing him to fight without tiring. Finally, if the chakra shield is summoned, it is capable of acting on its own as a separate entity, making it difficult to predict Naruto’s movements. Naruto can usually suppress the demon fox’s chakra by himself before his tailed transformations begin surfacing. Beyond that, the demon fox’s chakra seems to increase in intensity with time. Several external methods can be used to suppress it once this occurs, such as Jiraiya’s sealing talisman or Yamato’s sealing techniques.
     Part I

     See also: Plot of Naruto
     Graduation

     Naruto begins as an unsuccessful student of the ninja academy, having failed the graduation exam twice. Each time, it had been based on the Clone Technique, which he could never perform properly. His third try ends up no different, and it seems as if he’ll have to go through yet another year at the Academy. However, he gets an unusual break in the form of Mizuki, who tricks Naruto into stealing a forbidden scroll in order to steal it himself without being blamed. To do so, he claims that Naruto will graduate if he simply learns a technique from the scroll. In an ironic twist, the jutsu he learns is the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, which is an enhanced form of the regular version. After learning the truth about Mizuki and subsequently beating him to a pulp for it, he is allowed to graduate for learning such an advanced clone technique. Naruto also learns about the demon fox from Mizuki, who tells Naruto about it despite the taboo forbidding it.
     Survival Test and Wave Country arcs

     Having graduated, Naruto is paired with Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha in Team 7. The three do not work well together, and having Kakashi Hatake assigned as their Jonin-sensei doesn’t help matters, since he emphasizes teamwork above all else. His first test, which is designed to test their teamwork, goes badly to say the least, since not one of them passes and Naruto is tied to a post for cheating. However, Kakashi gives them another chance, and they pass the test by learning to think as a team.

     With Team 7 officially formed, they start going on simple missions. Naruto, wanting to be challenged, inadvertently gets Team 7 assigned an A-rank bodyguard mission for a bridge builder named Tazuna, though it was listed as C-rank due to misinformation on the client’s part. In their first battle with two Chunin-level ninja, Naruto freezes out of fear, while Sasuke calmly takes on the enemy. Kakashi intervenes before either is seriously injured, though Naruto is poisoned. Sasuke makes fun of Naruto for his fear, beginning their long-standing rivalry. The rest of the team then have a conversation over what to do about the poison, all the while making Naruto feel like more and more of a burden because he froze. Finally out of frustration Naruto takes action by stabbing a kunai into his wound to bleed out the poison, vowing to protect the bridge-builder and never freeze up again. Kakashi then has to bandage the wound out of fear of Naruto dying of blood loss, but it’s seen that the wound already starts to heal.

     In a subsequent battle against Zabuza Momochi, a Jonin-level ninja sent by evil businessman Gato to assassinate their client, Naruto freezes up again but upon seeing the bandage on his hand and remembering his vow, gets over his fear and works with Sasuke to free Kakashi from a water prison created by Zabuza. Despite their rivalry, the two make a perfect team and free Kakashi, who subsequently defeats Zabuza. Zabuza is saved from death by Haku, who disguised himself as a hunter-nin and put Zabuza into a death-like coma. He departed with the body under the guise of disposing with it for security reasons.

     While they continue protecting the bridge builder, Kakashi teaches Team 7 to walk up trees using chakra. Sakura masters the technique instantly, while Sasuke only gets a short distance and Naruto can’t manage to stick to the practice tree. While normally not one to ask for help, Naruto asks Sakura for pointers, and quickly catches up to Sasuke. The two serve as motivation for one another, since neither wants to lose to the other, and they master the technique in a few days. During their training, Naruto stumbles upon Haku, not knowing who he really is, and the two have a short conversation about protecting those precious to them.

     This conversation serves as a basis for their eventual battle, during which Sasuke seemingly gives his life to protect Naruto (Haku had in fact done the same thing to Sasuke as he had to Zabuza, but deliberately avoids telling Naruto). Enraged, Naruto subconsciously calls upon the demon fox’s chakra and defeats Haku in a blind rage, despite Haku being even stronger than Zabuza. Though it appears as if Naruto will kill Haku, he pulls back when he realizes that Haku is the same person he met in the woods earlier. Haku, having no other purpose in life than to protect Zabuza and fulfill his dreams, asks that Naruto kill him. Naruto is eventually persuaded to do so by the story of Haku’s past, but doesn’t get the chance. Haku, sensing Zabuza was in danger, instead kills himself by intercepting a fatal attack from Kakashi. Zabuza was initially indifferent to Haku’s death, leading to a guilt trip by Naruto. Zabuza actually does care, however, and can’t hide that fact after Naruto’s speech. When Zabuza’s employer betrays him, Zabuza sacrifices his own life to kill him. As a final wish, Zabuza dies next to Haku, hoping to be in death where he wasn’t in life.

     Profoundly affected by the mission, Naruto vows not to become an emotionless weapon as Zabuza and Haku were (for the most part). At the end of the episode, when Naruto and company leave, the villagers decide to name the bridge “The Great Naruto Bridge,” as Naruto changed one character in the arc, Inari, who had lost all hope after his “father” died after Gato had taken control of the Wave Country.
     Chunin Exam and Destruction of Konoha arcs

     Fresh from their mission in the Wave Country, Team 7 is admitted into the Chunin Exams. During this time in particular, Naruto makes several friends out of former enemies, and grows much stronger through these battles. He also sees some of the other Genin in a new light.
     Written Exam

     During the first part of the exam, which is a written exam designed specifically to be too hard for Genin to complete, Naruto is left sweating over the fact that he can’t answer any of the questions. He does not realize that the purpose of the exam is to cheat without being caught by the proctors positioned around the room. Hinata Hyuga, who is sitting next to him, offers to let him copy her test. Though not sure at first, he almost takes her up on her offer. However, he hears the tell-tale sound of a moving pencil from one of the proctors, signifying that they see someone cheating, and decides it’s best not to, since Hinata would get in trouble, too. Hinata is glad that Naruto really does care about her, protecting her from getting into trouble and having to forfeit the Chunin exams. The last question of the test, whose secret answer is merely the willingness to try, is where Naruto’s attitude rubs off on the other Genin. Unwilling to give up, he proclaims in front of everyone participating that he won’t be scared away, and as such many more decide to do the same than they would have otherwise.
     Forest of Death

     During the second part of the exam, Naruto and Sasuke end up in opposite positions as they had during Team 7’s first battle. Sakura and Sasuke, having met Orochimaru after a giant summoned snake ate Naruto, are paralyzed with fear from Orochimaru’s great intention to kill. Naruto, who wasn’t there to experience it, not only kills the giant snake which had previously detained him, but fights off another one of Orochimaru’s summoned snakes by using the demon fox’s chakra. In this instance, he retains control. Sakura and Sasuke get their first look at Naruto’s demon fox state, though they don’t truly understand what it means. After pinning the giant snake, Naruto mocks Sasuke in the same manner as Sasuke had done to him. Orochimaru uses the opportunity to grab Naruto and seal the demon fox’s chakra, which remains sealed until after the preliminary parts of the Chunin Exam. Naruto is left unconscious for the remainder of the fight, and Team 7 only survives because Orochimaru never intended to kill them, only wanting to brand Sasuke with the Cursed Seal of Heaven. To complete this part of the exam, Team 7 and Kabuto Yakushi, a fellow Genin, are forced to fight off a group of Rain Genin, one of whom had attacked Sasuke earlier. Despite his own chakra being disrupted from the seal, Naruto defeats the entire team almost single-handedly using his clones, though a small distraction from Kabuto also helped.
     Preliminary Rounds

     Because of Naruto’s earlier outburst during the first part of the exam, as well as a particularly skilled group of remaining candidates after that point, 21 people make it to the third part of the exam. This is slightly more than twice the normal amount, so preliminary exams are held to cut the numbers in half with one on one battles. Before the exams begin, Sasuke admits to Naruto that he wants to fight him. Naruto is eventually paired against Kiba Inuzuka. Kiba and virtually everyone else present believe Naruto stands no chance, and Kiba even mocks Naruto’s dream of being Hokage. Naruto, however, takes everything Kiba throws at him, despite the clear advantage in Kiba’s favor. Kiba gives Naruto one punch, which nocks him over, but surprising everyone, Naruto gets up. Kiba manages to throw two smoke bombs and Akamaru atacks Naruto and apperiently Naruto is knocked out, but it turns out Naruto transformed into Akamaru to attack Kiba. Kiba is surprised that Naruto learned the transformation Jutsu and the Shadow clone jutsu, when originally he was bad at transforming and the original clone jutsu. Kiba gives Akamaru a special food pill and takes one himself, and his increased strenth and speed completely overwhelms Naruto, but after a while, Naruto gets an idea. after Kiba’s next attack, which involves smoke bombs, Naruto transforms into Kiba and everyone is confused on which one is Naruto and which is Akamaru. Naruto tricks Kiba into attacking Akamaru, but is still at a disadvantage, but paralizes Kiba by farting directly in his face (kiba was trying to attack from behind, then, for the first time, dishes out his Naruto Uzumaki Barrage. Other notable battles include Hinata’s battle against Neji Hyuga. Neji labels Hinata as a failure and a dropout who can’t change her fate, enraging Naruto. After her utter defeat at Neji’s hands, Naruto tries to attack him, but is stopped by Rock Lee, who insists that a dropout defeating a genius would be sight to see, but should be done in a proper match. On Hinata’s spilled blood, Naruto swears to defeat Neji. Sure enough, he gets his chance. Once the preliminaries are over, he is paired against Neji for the first match. The nine remaining candidates are given one month to prepare for the main matches.
     Final Rounds

     Hoping to get a lot of training in during the month-long break, Naruto tries to get Kakashi to help. Kakashi, however, is busy training Sasuke, and leaves Naruto in the care of Ebisu. Ebisu begins training Naruto to walk on water, but the training is cut short with the introduction of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, three of the most powerful ninja alive. Ebisu catches Jiraiya peeping on women and tries to stop him. Not happy about the interruption, Jiraiya summons a toad and has it tongue-whip Ebisu into unconsciousness. Minus one teacher, Naruto insists that Jiraiya replace Ebisu. Always the insatiable pervert, it’s Naruto’s Sexy Jutsu that convinces him to do so. For the remainder of the month, Jiraiya teaches Naruto to summon toads and use the demon fox chakra, which is essential for the former technique. It is during this time that Naruto first summons Gamabunta, who, after cowing Naruto into submission, agrees to make Naruto his subordinate. However, summoning the toad king lands Naruto in the hospital the day before the main matches begin. Shikamaru Nara comes and brings him a fruit basket, but both Naruto and Shikamaru inadvertently catch Gaara attempting to kill Rock Lee, whom he had tried to kill during an earlier battle. During their confrontation, Naruto learns that Gaara contains a demon too, and that their pasts are quite similar. Gaara, however, only had one person acknowledge him, and that one person ended up trying to kill him. This drove Gaara insane, and convinced him that the only way to insure his existence was to kill anyone who threatened it. Gaara would have killed both Naruto and Shikamaru then and there, but Might Guy stops him from doing so.

     Once the main matches begin, Naruto originally appears outmatched once again against the genius Neji. Despite this, Naruto continually questions Neji’s outlook on life, even though every attack he tries is repelled. Neji eventually decides to finish the match by closing off Naruto’s chakra points, but Naruto gets up from this attack, too. Impressed, Neji tells Naruto about his painful past and the cursed seal on his forehead. Neji insists that Naruto could never know what it’s like to carry a mark that will be with him till death, though this couldn’t be further from the truth. Naruto uses his shadow clones throughout the match, but when he finally tricks Neji, Neji uses his Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. Now all hope for Naruto seems to have vanished completely, and even Hinata begins crying, but Naruto remembers about Jiraiya’s statement that Naruto has two kinds of chakra. Not convinced by Neji’s reasoning, Naruto calls upon the demon fox’s chakra, surprising everyone even more, and instantly evens the odds. In the end, Naruto defeats Neji with the use of a shadow clone, which surprises everyone in the arena even more, as they thought Naruto was a terrible ninja who only beat Kiba through dumb luck. This convinces Neji that fate truly can be changed.
     Destruction of Konoha

     After the attack on Konoha begins, Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, and Pakkun are sent to retrieve Sasuke, who is chasing after Gaara. Sasuke had injured Gaara during their battle, so Temari and Kankuro escaped with him so he could recover. During their pursuit, Shikamaru decides to stay behind to deal with a group of Sound-nin tracking them. Though Sakura is unsure if Shikamaru will actually confront them, Naruto has complete faith in him. He notes that Shikamaru is lazy, but when he actually tries to do something will always come through. Upon catching up to Gaara, Naruto is initially unwilling to fight him, since he is aware of just what Gaara is and Sasuke is unable to help. He is convinced to fight after Gaara captures Sakura and pins her with a detached hand of sand, which suffocates her at a slow rate. Since defeating Gaara is the only way to remove it, Naruto gets serious, badly damaging Gaara in order to protect his friends. Even in the face of Gaara’s full Shukaku form, he refuses to give up, summoning Gamabunta and destroying the sand creature with the chief toad’s help. In the end, Naruto lands the final punch on Gaara, leaving him unable to move. Naruto’s not much better off, but crawls his way to Gaara to make sure he’s defeated. As he crawls, he admits to Gaara that he knows the same pain of loneliness, but won’t let Gaara kill the people who saved him from it. Though Sasuke stops Naruto, he still manages to change Gaara’s outlook on life.
     Return of Itachi and Search for Tsunade arcs

     After the attack on Konoha, Jiraiya is asked to become the Fifth Hokage by Konoha’s elders. He declines the offer, however, and instead decides to locate Tsunade, also one of the Legendary Sannin, and have her become the Fifth. The elders offer to have an ANBU squad accompany him, but he refuses. Aside from the fact that traveling with an ANBU squad would only make Tsunade harder to find, he already has someone he wants to take: Naruto. Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, two members of Akatsuki, are searching for Naruto, so Jiraiya is taking Naruto to protect him. Naruto initially doesn’t want to go, but Jiraiya offers to teach him a powerful technique, which instantly sells Naruto on the idea. Despite Jiraiya taking him along for the trip, Itachi and Kisame do eventually find them. Using a hypnotized woman to draw Jiraiya away, the two attempt to kidnap Naruto. The arrival of Sasuke slows them slightly, though only because Itachi is unwilling to finish Sasuke off. Regardless, the short delay is enough time for Jiraiya to arrive and force the two Akatsuki to retreat.

     With the threat from Akatsuki gone, Jiraiya begins teaching Naruto the Rasengan, an advanced A-rank technique, developed by the Fourth Hokage, that only requires one hand and no hand seals to use; it’s chakra manipulation in its purest form. Naruto is mostly left to learn the technique by himself, since he needs to learn the trick to doing it by himself. Jiraiya never tells Naruto this, leaving Naruto disappointed. While they are searching for Tsunade, Tsunade is approached by Orochimaru, who wants her to heal his sealed arms. In exchange, he offers to resurrect her dead brother and lover, and allows her a week to consider the offer. When Jiraiya and Naruto finally find Tsunade, Naruto can’t believe that she’s going to be the Fifth Hokage. Her disrespectful remarks to both the position and the recently deceased Third don’t help matters, and he challenges her to a fight. Against one of the Sannin, Naruto has no chance, and Tsunade holds him off with a single finger. Though he has yet to perfect it, he attempts to use the rasengan on her. She dodges this, too, and then berates Jiraiya for teaching Naruto a technique he can’t possibly master. Naruto insists that he can, and bets that he can learn it in three days. Naruto’s personality reminds Tsunade of her deceased loved ones, so she takes the bet, giving Naruto a week. If Naruto wins, she’ll accept that he can become Hokage, and give him her incredibly valuable necklace that originally belonged to the First Hokage. Her two deceased loved ones had also owned it for a time, and died soon after receiving it.

     By week’s end, Naruto still hasn’t mastered the technique, but notes that he has an alternate means of completing it should it be necessary. Their bet is interrupted by the arrival of Orochimaru and Kabuto, whom Tsunade betrays. Naruto is initially left out of the fight, but comes to Tsunade’s aid after Kabuto tries to kill her. It is during their fight that Naruto finally completes the rasengan, using a shadow clone to do what he could not do by himself. Kabuto is severely injured by the technique, but injures Naruto just as badly. Naruto is saved by Tsunade, who gets over her hemophobia, or fear of blood, in order to save him. He regains consciousness just long enough to proclaim he won their bet. In turn, she gives him her necklace and accepts that he will become Hokage someday.
     Sasuke Retrieval arc

     In the anime, a short filler arc involving a mission to the Land of Tea precedes this arc. This filler arc does little except reinforce Sasuke’s point of view in the next arc. After returning with Tsunade and having Sasuke healed, Naruto recognizes Sakura’s feelings for Sasuke. Though still jealous, he is mature enough not to get in the way. Meanwhile, Sasuke broods over the substantial progress Naruto has made in comparison to his own. Feeling inferior, Sasuke challenges Naruto to a fight. The two go to the roof of the hospital, where each voices their opinion of their rivalry, with Naruto insisting they’re equals while Sasuke thinks otherwise. Their battle is short, ending with each trying to use their most powerful attack on the other. Kakashi steps in to prevent them from injuring Sakura, who attempts to intervene. Kakashi deflects their attacks into adjacent water towers. At first, it appears as if Sasuke did more damage, because Naruto’s tower only had a small hole in the front while Sasuke’s was greatly damaged. Later it is revealed Naruto’s attack also blew a large hole out the back of the tower, demonstrating that Naruto’s strength is greatly superior. Though Kakashi tries to convince Sasuke to give up his quest for revenge, his defeat at the hands of the Sound Four leads him to defect to Orochimaru.

     Naruto’s friends hold off the Sound Four so Naruto can reach Sasuke. Once he does, the two have a much more serious battle, during which they each bring out their respective “gifts,” those being Naruto’s demon fox chakra and Sasuke’s cursed seal. During the battle, Sasuke claims that he doesn’t need any friends, as that does nothing to make him more powerful, since killing Itachi is his only goal. Naruto refuses to accept Sasuke’s decision, as by his own admission Sasuke is like a brother to him and he can’t bear to lose him to the twisted path of self-destruction he has chosen. This drives Naruto to draw upon the demon fox’s chakra to such a degree that he nearly overcomes Sasuke’s fully awakened Sharingan. As such, Sasuke finally acknowledges Naruto as an equal. In the end, the two use their most powerful attacks against each other once more, only this time enhancing the attacks with their respective gifts. They do not go through with their attacks, however. Naruto purposefully misses, instead scratching Sasuke’s headband, and Sasuke doesn’t kill Naruto because he doesn’t want to become like Itachi (though this mentality seemingly changes in Part II as he now has no reservations about killing Naruto).

     With Sasuke’s successful defection, Naruto’s main goal is to bring Sasuke back before Orochimaru can take him as his new host. Jiraiya, recognizing Naruto’s determination, remembers his own attempt to stop Orochimaru from defecting. Though he clearly believes Naruto’s goal to be foolish, he takes Naruto with him for a two-and-a-half year period of training. There is a three-month break before this happens, which was covered by series of filler arcs in the anime. Like the Tea Country arc, these provide very little plot and character development. There are a few exceptions (i.e Hinata, Anko), but none involve Naruto’s character directly.
     Part II

     See also: Plot of Naruto: Shippuden
     Rescue Gaara Arc
     Naruto in Part II
     Naruto in Part II

     When Part II begins, Naruto reestablishes himself in Konoha, after meeting some of his old friends again. Kakashi then takes the remaining members of Team 7 for a second bell test, which even with their now excellent team work, the two couldn’t take the bells from Kakashi by force. It was Naruto who thought of using Kakashi’s obsession with the Icha Icha series of books to their advantage. Naruto and Sakura rushed Kakashi at once, with Naruto yelling spoilers for the new book, causing Kakashi to close his eyes, thus losing the advantage of the Sharingan, and his ears so he couldn’t hear what they were saying, allowing the two to retrieve the bells. Afterwards, Tsunade gave them a mission, a request from Sunagakure, to help rescue their captured Kazekage.

     It was when Team 7 was on the way to Sunagakure that Naruto finally reveals to Sakura and Temari that the demon fox was sealed inside him. Sakura sympathizes with him, as does Temari, who is very grateful to Naruto for the change in her little brother, Gaara. With this revelation, Sakura begins to understand why the village hated him and why he was so alone growing up. Continuing on their mission with the help of Team Guy Naruto and his team got as far as to find Gaara, already dead, the Shukaku extracted from him by the Akatsuki, and the only members there, Deidara, and Sasori. In a rage, Naruto goes after Deidara alone, after the latter used one of his clay creations to grab Gaara’s body as bait to capture Naruto as well, with Kakashi deciding to back him up. While they chased him, Kakashi used his Mangekyo Sharingan to cripple Deidara, allowing Naruto and a few clones to grab and attack him, while another grabed his clay bird to retrieve Gaara’s body, whom Naruto hoped survived. Seeing Gaara’s body and releasing that the Deidara he was attacking was just a Clay Clone, Naruto becomes enraged. Kakashi watches as Naruto begins to grow two chakra tails of the demon fox, to which he quickly supresses before its complete, using a seal Jiraiya gave him just before the mission. When Deidara escapes and Chiyo revives Gaara at the cost of her life, Team 7 and Team Guy return to Konoha, with new information about Orochimaru’s location.
     Sai and Sasuke Arc

     When the teams return to Konoha, Naruto is reunited with Shino, whom Naruto couldn’t recongize because of his hood, Kiba, who calls Naruto a “giant” because he is now taller than him, and Hinata, is so overcome with emotions by simply seeing Naruto, she couldn’t bring herself to see him herself, instead looking up to see Naruto talking to her and faints. Later Naruto meets up with Shikamaru and Choji before the three are “attacked” by Ink Lions, created by Sai, the repleacement of Sasuke in Team 7. Team 7 is then given a new leader, the ANBU ninja, Yamato, for their next mission, to use Sasori’s information to get info on Orochimaru’s plans, and more importantly, get Sasuke back. On the way, Sai’s personality, and his general lack of respect for the traitorious Sasuke causes conflicts with his other teammates.

     The meeting with Kabuto doesn’t however go as planned as Orochimaru himself shows up before they could get the information from Kabuto. Yamato calls his team for support, but Orochimaru brings up the touchy situtaion of Sasuke. Naruto enraged that Orochimaru is refering to Sasuke like he belonged to him demanded Sasuke to be returned to them, and quickly slips from one to three-tails transformation. When its clear Orochimaru couldn’t be beaten that easily, his fury increases and Naruto slips into the grasp of the demon fox, and he grows four chakra tails, allowing the demon fox to take over his body, turning him into a miniature demon fox.

     In battle, four-tailed Naruto was almost unbeatable. No matter what Orochimaru attacked him with, Naruto either shrugged it off, or attacked with greater force. Finally, Naruto began to charge a concentrated chakra ball and fired it that seemingly defeated Orochimaru. However Orochimaru simply used his snake like body to expand his neck and stabing Naruto in the chest with his Kusanagi Sword, which sends Naruto back towards the bridge, but doesn’t go through his chakra shield. Kabuto mentions to Sakura that Naruto is like this because of his desire to save Sasuke, and to fulfill his promise to Sakura to bring him home, to the point where he would kill Orochimaru and not even be conscious. In tears, Sakura runs to try to talk sense into Naruto, saying she will bring Sasuke back for both of them, but the four-tailed Naruto instead attacks her with one of his tails, injuring her left arm and thus leaving an opening for Yamato’s wood trap. Yamato then forceably supresses the demon fox’s chakra so Naruto turns back to normal, but covered in his own blood. As Sakura heals him, Sakura reveals to Yamato that she wants to be more helpful to Naruto and be there for him and beat the Akatsuki, who was commenting that Sakura has stronger feelings for Naruto than she’ll admit, but he was interuppted by Naruto regaining consciousness.

     When the remainder of the team breaks into Orochimaru’s hidout they first find Sai who reveals to them his mission from Danzo, to side with Orochimaru in destroying Konoha, and to then betray him in the end. They bring Sai out of the base where he questions Naruto on why he would risk his life to save someone who doesn’t care about him anymore, and Naruto explains that he is his friend, the first person to truely acknowledge his existance, just then Kabuto appears but is quickly subdued by Sai. With Kabuto temporarily delt with, they once again break into to split up to find Sasuke, Sakura going with Yamato, and Sai going with Naruto. Together, Sai sees his brother in Naruto and he finally smiles from the heart, only to be interuppted by the deviant, Orochimaru. Naruto tells Sai he will deal with Orochimaru while he goes after Sasuke. When Sakura and Yamato arrive to support Naruto, Orochimaru simply tells them he would rather go after Sai now and dissappears. Yamato shows Naruto and Sakura Sai’s Bingo Book, with Sasuke’s profile. Naruto initally refuses to believe Sai would try to kill Sasuke, but remembers what he told them when they first met; a smile can fool anyone, even if its fake.

     As they search the compound, they hear a loud explosion and follow it leading them to Sai and Sasuke. Sasuke looks down at his former teammates with very little concern, as Sai explains his new intentions to help them bring Sasuke back. When Sasuke explains that bonds had made him weak, made him lose sight of his goal, which was to kill Itachi, Naruto questions why Sasuke didn’t kill him at the Valley of the End in their last fight. Sasuke explains that he spared Naruto only on a whim, and it is b a whim that he’s going to end Naruto at that moment. Sasuke then asked why someone who wishes to become Hokage would risk so much just to save one person. Naruto explained that if he couldn’t even save one person, he shouldn’t be Hokage. At that moment, Sai comes to block the blade from cutting into Naruto and a short fight begins with Sasuke having the clear upper hand. After getting hit with Sasuke’s Chidori Current, Naruto’s consciousness is sent to the sewer where he has another talk with the demon fox. This moment gives a sign of the seal weakening, as when first revealed the demon fox could barely get its claws through the gate [1], to now the demon fox could pull itself, even if its just its chakra a great deal out of its cage[2]. Naruto tells the demon fox that he doesn’t want to see it’s face anymore, and that he doesn’t want to use the it’s chakra. The demon fox mocks Naruto[3] and tells him that Naruto has always been running to it’s aid when ever he was in a fight, but Naruto tells the demon fox that he doesn’t need it anymore, just as Sasuke appears inside Naruto’s mind. Sasuke simply says he could “see” the demon fox. The demon fox tells him and Naruto that Sasuke’s eyes has power and chakra that is far more sinister than it’s own, because his Sharingan reminded it of Madara Uchiha. When Sasuke suppresses the demon fox’s chakra back into its cage, it then warns Sasuke not to kill Naruto, as he would live to regret it. [4]

     It is also shown that Sasuke’s defection still affects Naruto and Sakura, and when the whole of Team 7 (minus Kakashi) finally meets after two and a half years, Sasuke greets them, as he did when they became a team, with cold indifference, and says he doesn’t care if he becomes Orochimaru’s vessel as long as Itachi will die. He even attempts to kill Sakura and Naruto. Later, after Sasuke leaves with Orochimaru and Kabuto, Naruto and Sakura are clearly upset that he is no longer the Sasuke they knew.

     After his “reunion” with Sasuke, and the realization that after all his special training he is no closer to saving Sasuke, Naruto sinks into a deep depression. His outlook is changed, however, when Kakashi tells him that he will train Naruto to create a unique jutsu that could possibly give him the strength to finally meet Sasuke on an even level. Finally receiving the one-on-one training with Kakashi that he has always desired, and with his last encounter with Sasuke driving him, Naruto becomes more serious and focused than he’s ever been. During his training, Kakashi remarks that he believes Naruto will surpass the Fourth Hokage and later, even sees a vision of the Fourth Hokage around Naruto. Also, after Naruto shows off the results of his special training Kakashi admits to himself that Naruto has surpassed him.
     Hidan and Kakuzu Arc

     While continuing his training, Kakashi and Yamato began to explain to him elemental chakra. To further understand this, Naruto was sent to Asuma Sarutobi, who was skilled at the same wind chakra Naruto has. While training Naruto was given the deadline by Tsunade to master elemental chakra, or he would be unable to aid Team 10 and Kakashi deal with the two Akatsuki members Hidan and Kakuzu.

     Naruto and Yamato arrived to help Choji, Ino, and Kakashi battle Kakuzu, who so far has been revealed to be more than a match for the team. Naruto challanges Kakuzu himself and reveals his new jutsu, the Wind Release: Rasengan, and its special ability, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. After one failed attempt, Naruto managed to get behind Kakuzu, trapping him in the incredable vortex of wind, tearing Kakuzu apart. When Shikamaru arrived to tell them Hidan was delt with, they return to Konoha. Upon their return, Naruto needed to be hospitalized due to injuries to the arm he used the Rasenshuriken in. Tsunade told Kakashi that the Rasenshuriken caused cellular damage to cells in his arms which could render him unable to use chakra, and has since forbidden the use of the technique.

     After the team returns Naruto, Sakura, and Sai are in Ichiraku’s ramen bar. As Naruto tries eating with his left hand, and has much difficulty, Sakura remembers when she was healing Naruto. Also remembering his words about them getting closer together and to Sasuke she offers to feed him. This greatly shocks and excites Naruto. But as she was going to start Sai starts feeding him. This causes Naruto to get extremely aggrivated at Sai and reminds him to be aware of the intimate moment he and Sakura were having if he decides to help again.
     Hunt for Uchiha

     Team Yamato would later be called into Tsunade’s office where Jiraiya informed that Sasuke has killed Orochimaru. With joy, Naruto expects Sasuke to return to Konoha on his own, but Tsunade and Jiraiya tells him thats not the case. Naruto then asks Tsunade to form a team to hunt down Itachi for a single purpose; Sasuke is after Itachi, if Konoha captures Itachi, Sasuke would have no choice but return home. Tsunade assigns Team Yamato, Kakashi, and the members of Team 8; Hinata, Shino, and Kiba to hunt down Itachi.

     While searching, Naruto, Yamato, and Hinata were found by Kabuto. Kabuto tells them how without Orochimaru, he was left without a leader and has since made a resolve to make himself stronger. But to achieve this, Kabuto implanted Orochimaru’s remains into his own body. Kabuto left the group vowing he would return to kill Naruto once he takes care of Orchimaru’s killer. After this, the 8-man squad heard and followed a large explosion and went to investigate. Kiba informed them that Sasuke was there at that explosion and he could follow his scent. Unfortunantly, Karin sensed them coming and attempted to lead them off the trail by using Sasuke’s old clothes and scatter them in different directions. Naruto used his Shadow Clone Technique to follow the scents, only to find Itachi. Naruto attacked Itachi, who only wanted to talk. Itachi asked Naruto why he cared so much about Sasuke to which Naruto explained that Sasuke was like a brother to him and he would be a much better brother to him than he (Itachi) could ever be. To this response, Itachi gave a rare smile (possibly because of what he had already sacrificed to protect Sasuke). Naruto again tried to attack him but was quickly caught in his genjutsu. Once again regrouping with the squad, one of Naruto’s shadow clones was destroyed when Sasuke plowed through it, once again leading them to Sasuke’s trail. While still following Sasuke the squad runs into Tobi, who taunts them playfully until Naruto attempts to attack him with a Rasengan. Instead, Naruto phases straight through Tobi. He is then apart of the battle group as they tried several different formations to take down Tobi, but all failed, leaving Shino to use his clans secret techniques to handle him. Tobi retreats when he hears of Itachi’s death. Naruto’s team rushes to the battlefield, to find Sasuke’s scent mixed with the scent of the Akatsuki, and none of them present.

     It was later revealed by Itachi that he had transfered some of his power to Naruto before he died. It is suspected he did this because he anticipated Sasuke’s attack on Konoha. To what extent these powers have been granted is unknown.
     Post Hunt For Uchiha Arc

     Upon returning to Konoha, Naruto recalls when he met with Itachi during the hunt. Itachi had transfered some of his power to Naruto before he died, and asked could Naruto kill Sasuke if he ever became a threat to the village. Before he could ponder this issue further, Kakashi, along with Gamabunta and Gamakichi, told Naruto that the Fifth needs him. When he arrived at the Hokage Residence, the full members of Team Yamato/Kakashi, several Toads, and Fukasaku were waiting for him. There he was told that Jiraiya died in his battle with Pain. Grief stricken, Naruto blamed Tsunade for his death and departed. He spent the rest of the day mourning the loss of his teacher, musing over the fact he had wanted Jiraiya to be there when he became Hokage. Iruka comforted Naruto, telling him that Jiraiya had always been proud of him and what he had and would become.
     Sage Arts Training

     After he assisted Shikamaru in deciphering Jiraiya’s code, Naruto was dead set on destroying Pain. Fukasaku offered to train Naruto in the sage arts, seeing as Naruto stood no chance of killing the apparent Akatsuki leader. Naruto readily accepted his offer. Then Naruto and Fukasaku traveled to Myobokuzan through a reverse summon from Gamakichi. The sage arts is a way to make a ninja’s chakra mixed together with nature, or the ground, atmosphere, and all the things that are related to nature. Fukasaku demonstrated it to Naruto by lifting a giant statue, and Naruto had a hard time understanding about the sage arts. Eventually, he began to sense the nature around him through the use of toad oil. He was eventually able to lift a giant frog statue. Even Fukasaku thinks that Naruto is learning at a faster rate than Jiraiya. After he masters using the toad oil, Fukasuku told Naruto that he had to master senjustsu without the oil now. But before they began, he handed Naruto Jiraya’s first book “The Legend of the Gutsy Ninja.” This was the book that gave him his name.

     Soon after, Fukasaku tried to make Naruto stand still while balancing on a spike. After achieving balance, Naruto became a sage and entered Sage Mode. Fukasaku was amazed to see that Naruto only had sage eyes and no toad mutations while in Sage Mode. At night, Naruto began training in secret to perfect a secret jutsu.
     Abilities

     At the start of the series, the only jutsu Naruto could do without fail was the Sexy Technique,[5] a creative but almost completely useless diversionary technique used simply to shock his instructors. Though Naruto had trouble with the Clone Technique at the start of the series, he quickly learns how to use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the smaller-scale Shadow Clone Technique, Jonin-level techniques, in both the first episode and chapter of the series. This particular ninjutsu grows to be his most-used technique, as it often serves as the basis for other moves. The Shadow Clone technique allows Naruto to create replicas of himself. Unlike the Clone technique, the replicas are physical beings rather than illusions, making them capable of attacking and intercepting blows, and even adding intensity to one’s training. He even uses his Shadow Clones to “add” to his first jutsu to create the Harem Technique,[6] though it is still a fairly useless technique.

     At the start of the series, Naruto primarily creates Shadow Clones for the purpose of taijutsu in terms of combat. Naruto also often creates Shadow Clones to act as decoys or for other deceptive tactics, such as diverting attention away from himself so that he may use the Transformation Technique unnoticed. Naruto makes more intelligent and better control of his clones as the series progresses. In his fight with Neji, for instance, Naruto dispersed several of his clones once one was hit, creating the illusion that Neji had hit the real Naruto.[7] Later in the series, Naruto would hide away while several clones attack, confusing the enemy when there was no Naruto remaining. During his fight with Gaara, Naruto even uses his clones as shields and platforms to bound off of in the air. By Naruto: Shippūden, Naruto’s usage and timing of the technique has become more advanced. Various tactics he has shown include creating clones to push himself out of the way of an attack, transform into weapons, and fall for traps in his stead.

     Naruto was also taught the Summoning Technique from Jiraiya which he could use against larger opponents. Naruto signed the toad contract, so like Jiraiya, he can only summon toads. The type of toads he can summon is proportional to his chakra and skill, as when he started out he could only summon tadpoles. When he uses the demon fox’s chakra, he was able to summon the toad boss Gamabunta. When he doesn’t use the demon fox’s chakra, he seems to have a hard time getting any specific toad as he summons Gamakichi or Gamatatsu. As the animals have minds of their own, Naruto has difficulty controlling them, meaning that they typically have to become motivated to fight on their own. He has also trained to become a sage, and he has learned how to enter Hermit Mode, which boosts his power and endurance.

     But Naruto’s most useful offensive technique is the Rasengan, a jutsu his father invented. Unlike Jiraiya or Kakashi, Naruto has to use two hands to create the Rasengan, due to his lack of chakra control. However, even with his two hands, he couldn’t form a proper Rasengan sphere. It wasn’t until his fight with Kabuto did Naruto use his own hand to create the shell, and used a shadow clone to spin the chakra creating a perfect Rasengan. When he is in his tailed transformations, he seems to have the ability to mold the chakra into a sphere using the demon fox’s chakra alone. In Part II, Naruto showed off his own version of the Rasengan, a larger version simply called the Great Ball Rasengan, but would later go through element training and has since made his own version of the Rasengan. The Wind Release: Rasengan just like the standard is half complete, but Naruto has showed to use it quite well as he was able to create the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

     In each movie, Naruto uses different variant of Rasengan. In Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, the Seven-Colored Rasengan, which relied on the Spring Heat Generators, was used to defeat Doto Kazahana. In Naruto the Movie 2: Legend of the Stone of Gelel, the Twin Rasengan, which relied on Temujin’s Gelel chakra, and the Demon Fox Rasengan, which relied on Naruto’s Shadow Clone, were used to defeat Haido. In Naruto the Movie 3: Great Excitement! The Animal Panic of Crescent Moon Island, the Crescent Moon Rasengan, which relied on the crescent moon’s light, was used to defeat Ishidate. In Naruto: Shippūden the Movie, the Naruto-Shion Super Chakra Rasengan

394. NineTailFox October 14th, 2008 at 3:37 am 394

395. ::Itachi:Lover:Girl:: October 14th, 2008 at 5:36 am 395

     Hatake Kakashi Madara cn use the Amaterasu whenever he wants 2.I mean he dosent need a mask 2 that.Besides the Amaterasu will obviously destroy a stupid orange mask if it is activated.Well I think hes got terrible scars on his face while fightin the 1st hoksge n so he wears it just 2 hide them or somthin.Evn so i cany wait 2 see whats under his mask n kakashis of course.

396. Minato October 14th, 2008 at 5:43 am 396

     fuk i cant wait to see the new released manga… naruto’s gonna fight back to konoha(because pain-sama now tries to attack konoha or should i say to capture the last kyuubi “the nine tailed demon fox”) in “SAGE MODE”… wtf! i cant wait to see the next episodes!!!!!!!!!!!

397. ::Itachi:Lover:Girl:: October 14th, 2008 at 5:51 am 397

402. Hatake Kakashi October 14th, 2008 at 6:45 am 402

     i said something like amaterasu, something that destroys everything that the eye focus on, and if he is wearing mask, he cant focus on anything… and he cant deactivate it because it is not his eye, just like kakashi cant deactivate sharingan…
     but it could be scars too…
     “under this mask is…. yet another mask!! pretty cool, huh??” thats one of my favorite episodes

403. kakashi4ever October 14th, 2008 at 11:19 am 403

     Cant wait for nest episode , you rule admin :p

405. Kakashi4Ever October 14th, 2008 at 12:34 pm 405

     Hmmm, I just re-read the manga, and it got me thinking. If Uchia Itachi was actually working for Konoha when he killed the entire Uchia clan. Then why did Kakashi attack him when he returned to Konaha (When he used the Magneko Sharingon on him)? And also, if he was leaking information about the Akaksuki, how come Konoha didn’t know who half the members were?

     FOOD FOR THOUGH! Eh?

406. Kakashi4Ever October 14th, 2008 at 12:37 pm 406

     im atually the creatr of naruto. So i’ll tell u somefin……. were gonna bring back asuma and the 4th hokage..

409. rasNgan October 14th, 2008 at 4:49 pm 409

     hatake kakashi

     no, and it will probably be quite boring too just a long dramatic scene on asuma dying

410. Psykfall October 14th, 2008 at 7:13 pm 410

     yey asuma died

411. buang_ka!! October 14th, 2008 at 9:02 pm 411

413. Sasukewilldie October 15th, 2008 at 2:10 am 413

     nah everbody knows asuma will die u just cant read thats not my fault…..an yes i read the manga just once not over mutlpy times though…..yah yah yah i dont like sasuke and why cant mr.couldnt get revenge die……i hope madara kills him(hope stressed)….but with things like kirin he is decent(i dont like him obivious)

414. ::Itachi:Lover:Girl:: October 15th, 2008 at 2:31 am 414

     kakashi4ever r u really a fagget “i know it” a can’t beleave u admitt it . if u ever come jamaica where i live them ppl will cut of your dick and put it in your ass

423. Infinate Shinobi October 15th, 2008 at 6:04 pm 423

     Again, the sheer stupidity of you kids is amazing, I do not believe for a second that ‘kakashi4eva’ or what ever you’re called, wrote that off his head, for one neither is he old enough or clever enough to write that, let alone be a student at Harvard.

     I cannot believe how many come on here and post; “I read the manga” It’s obvious that some people have, it is also obvious that others have not. Claiming things have happened when they clearly haven’t. I think that people should be able to come here and post on the subject of the episode and in-fact Naruto. But to come on here posting ignorant rubbish not only makes you look like a fool, but shames people with more than few brain cells who use this site for it’s correct purpose. If you have read the manga anybody with enough intelligence that wants to know what’s happening can easily find it themselves, so why bother posting on here what you claim to be the truth, people with find out eventually you have quite obviously lied. Dick. I don’t doubt for a second there will be a childish response to this post, and there is only one reason as to why that is, your puny brain can’t think of anything worth while to say. I actually saw one guy posy saying I know what happens, I spoke to the writers.. Whatever. EVEN if you did, there is NO way they would tell you the plot. How would that benefit them in any way, if you claim they did tell you, quite simply you are a top-end bullsh*tter.

     So yeah I have been a grumpy git, but for the few of you that understand why, I hope this message makes even the slightest difference, maybe then you can use this site without the absolute trash that comes out of these kids mouths.

     By all means debate. That’s what this is here for, but if you are going to make a point, try to make it a valid one. x

424. Sasukewilldie October 15th, 2008 at 6:39 pm 424

     yup itachi dies…..but sasuke doesnt kill him………….(matter of fact im still amazed by how smart and willing itachi was….~ So sasuke what do you see with your eyes~

425. ::Itachi:Lover:Girl:: October 16th, 2008 at 12:48 am 425

     Infinate Shinobi u do make a point.i mean som1 was really required 2 knock some sense in2 these ppl.bu i doubt they’ll listen.

     n in the manga they showed Itachi fall 2 the ground bt ppl r debating whether he is actually dead.i personally refuse 2 believe he died.i mea whats the fun in the story if the best character dies.

     i cant wait for tomorrow.it better b a double episode special.

426. ::Itachi:Lover:Girl:: October 16th, 2008 at 1:28 am 426

     Hey i dont kno if any of u’ll noticed bt with episode 80 coming out Naruto will complete a total of 300 episodes(part 1 n shippuden combined).So currently it has completed 299 episodes.AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m sure the makers will notice that n give us a double or a triple episode special after all.oh being the biggest Naruto fan it makes me so happy.
     OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…………………….
     Wow now im evn more excited for episode 80. YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

     the unsubbed one sholud come out today….

     Infinate Shinobi, you are right, but even if they actually read your comment to the end it won’t make any diference… they won’t stop posting false predictions, they’ll even post more… therefore, it is pointless to be annoyed by stupid comments… you’ll never even meet anyone of them… so just let them post their stupid comments and enjoy while they fight and call each other names

432. Infinate Shinobi October 17th, 2008 at 5:11 pm 432

     Oh believe me, I do laugh at them, and their predictability. As NailTailFox so pefectly proved me right. Enjoy the new episode. x
