Personality

Naruto's Ninja Registration Form photograph.

Naruto is exuberant, brash, inattentive, and heedless to formality or social standings. Heinherited his catch-phrase "Dattebayo!" (!) from his mother, who would say "(da)ttebane"

(()) when excited or frustrated.[19] Naruto has a number of childish traits, like keeping

his money in a chubby, green-frog wallet he affectionately calls "Gama-chan",[20] being a verypicky eater (he almost exclusively eatsramen and is a frequent customer at theRamen Ichiraku),

and being afraid of ghosts. He is also somewhat perverted, something he tends to be reprimanded

for by Sakura Harunoand Iruka, but has only become even more so after meeting his mentorJiraiya, causing many to say that Jiraiya raised a perfect replica of himself.[21]However,

whenever someone dear to him is in trouble or the situation calls for it, Naruto can be very

serious, and will instantly try to come to their aid.

According to Kakashi, Naruto learns through his body, as he is relatively naive, simple, andbeing slow to understand a principle or situation, which often requires an oversimplified analogy

in order to grasp what is being explained to him.[22]Overall, Naruto responds best to competition

and has a great deal of self-confidence, loudly proclaiming that he will master whatevertechnique he is learning within a fraction of the usual time, [23] though he doesn't hesitate to ask

for help if he needs it.[24] While as naive as he appears to be throughout most of the series, Naruto

has proven to have a keen eye to certain things most people don't see, showing that he can besmarter than what most people, especially Sakura, are willing to give him credit for when he

wants to be, something even Chji comments on once in a while. This was shown when Naruto

was the first to notice the differences in Sai's book, [25] later helped to decipher Jiraiya's dying

message left from Fukasaku on his back and managed to help solve the message throughKakashi'sIcha Icha book.[26] He is also quite observant in regards to other people's feelings

(though he was oblivious ofHinata's love for him until she confessed her feelings to him) and is

able to perceive the truth from people's intentions, such as when Sakura claimed she loved himand not Sasuke any more, Naruto immediately knew she was lying about how she felt, having

witnessed her most extreme and inimitable signs of love for Sasuke. [27] Naruto also saw through

Iruka's lie about a new wild creature on the Island Turtle they were on by remembering Motoi

stating that B had tamed all the animals on the island.

Naruto making a promise in the "nice guy" pose.

Due to the prejudice and loneliness he suffered in his childhood, Naruto developed a craving for

acknowledgement. In order to achieve this, Naruto would pull pranks all around the village andeven going far as strive for the title ofHokage. Even after graduating from the Academy, Naruto

was still determined to be recognised, but as he made more and more connections with others,

his reasons for wanting to become Hokage underwent a change, having less to do with the desire

for recognition, and more to do with wanting the strength to protect his home and the peopleclose to him. As noted by Tobi, Naruto possessed the Will of Fire, likening him toHashirama

Senju in this aspect.[29] Naruto's determination and drive strongly impacts the lives of those

around him, even his enemies have been affected by his empathy. Both Kakashi and Temarireferred to Naruto's amazing charisma as a "unique power" that allows him to change the worldly

views of others for the better, usually by helping them regain the beliefs they lost due to certain

tragedies they suffered.[30][31]Son Gok also thought of him as an open and honest person.[32] LikeGuy and Rock Lee, when Naruto makes a promise, he assumes the "nice guy pose" and becomes

dedicated to fulfilling it. When Sasuke defected from Konoha, Naruto made a "promise of a

lifetime" to Sakura to bring him back, using the "nice guy pose".[33] Even Madara saw Naruto asthe "heart" of the Shinobi Alliance, further proven when Naruto's senjutsu-enhanced Tailed

Beast Mode combined with telepathycauses his emotions and personal memories to be

transferred to everyone, he managed to reignite their fighting spirit after being demoralised by

the Shinju where Hashirama couldn't.[34]. Hashirama goes as far as to stating that Naruto's

feelings and past gave "hope" to the Shinobi Alliance.[35]

Sasuke's defection shocked Naruto to his core, but he never wavered in his resolve to bring him

back to Konoha. When his teacher Jiraiya was killed in battle by the AkatsukileaderPain, he

vowed vengeance against the man and left Konoha for a time to train insenjutsu.[36] Uponreturning home after Pain destroyed the village and succumbing to rage, he met and spoke with

his father, who explained to him the cycle of hatred and entrusted him with the duty of saving the

ninja world from its hate.[37]After listening to Nagato's story of how hatred can shape a personand the world into darkness, Naruto vowed he would end the cycle of hatred and bring peace to

the ninja world.[38]This decision, however, would come in direct opposition in his quest to bring

Sasuke home, something that at first saddened him deeply.[39] Nevertheless, after meeting again

in the Land of Iron, Naruto resolved that if he had to, he would fight and potentially kill hisfriend to end the cycle of hatredand save Sasuke from despair, even if it costs his own life. [40]

When he discovered that theFourth Shinobi World Warhad started, Naruto made it his mission

to end the war all by himself, so no one else would suffer.[41] He continued to do so until hisbattle with the reincarnatedNagato and Itachi Uchiha. After the fight, even though Itachi

acknowledged Naruto had become stronger, he explained to Naruto that if he continued to

believe that he could do everything alone, he would become arrogant likeMadara. Itachi also

said that if Naruto were to become Hokage, he should never forget his friends or do everything

on his own.[42]Afterwards, Naruto acknowledged his shortcomings in his attempts to do things

himself, and allowed others to help him instead of shouldering burdens himself.

After exposing Tobi's identity as Obito Uchiha and expressing disapproval of his nihilistic

outlook on life, Naruto declares to Obito that he would not let him kill any of his comrades.[43]

Asa result, Obito resolved to put both him and the Allied Shinobi Forces into the same despair he

experienced, namely by killing one of Naruto's friends,Neji Hyga. This, along with Obito'sdiatribe towards Naruto and his beliefs, drove the young shinobi into a period of mental and

emotional turmoil. Although nearly succumbing to Obito's temptation, Naruto was brought out

of his depression by Hinata, who explained to him the meaning of Neji's last words that his lifewas not just his own, restoring his self-confidence as he thanked her for staying by his side.[44]

Soon after, Naruto tells Kakashi and his comrades that he clearly understands that shinobi are

meant to endure, believing that if remembering his friends was a curse, he would gladly shoulderthat burden and keep the real Neji in his heart forever.[45]This shows how far Naruto has come as

a shinobi and that he is above Obito's psychological warfare, telling him that unlike Obito, he

wants to maintain the bonds he made with his friends. His dedication to his loved ones andcomrades is so great, that even while fighting, his chakra responds to his subconscious desire to

save them by healing them on its own.[46]
