Naruto Uzumaki is a member of the Hidden Leaf Village and the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox. The Nine-Tailed Fox is one of the Tailed Beasts, and it is capable of tremendous power. So to control that power, the village sealed it inside Naruto. This has made the village grow weary of him, and because of that, he tends to be alone at the beginning of his adventure. Along the way, he meets Sasuke, who is his friend and his nemesis. In Naruto Shippuden, Naruto and Sasuke often clash physically, and they clash with their ideals as well. Despite this, Naruto is the main character of the series hence why it is named after him.
