**Naruto Namikaze** (波風ナルト, *Namikaze Naruto*) is a variant of the original Naruto Uzumaki and the **Fifth Hokage** (五代目火影, *Godaime Hokage*) of Konohagakure. Orphaned by war shortly after his birth, Naruto was raised by his godfather Jiraiya and his older adoptive brother Nagato. Originally ridiculed by his peers for his lack of talent, he sought to become Hokage to gain the acknowledgement of the village. He went on to save the world from a great tragedy, becoming known as the **Hero of the World** (世界の英雄, *Sekai no Eiyū*) and achieved his dream of becoming Hokage.

## Background

Naruto Namikaze was born the son of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Uzumaki. Unlike the original Naruto, he was given his father's surname despite officially being recognized as a member of the Uzumaki clan. Born at the height of the Second Shinobi World War, Naruto was orphaned when he was barely weeks old when his parents sacrificed themselves defending Konohagakure from an invasion attempt by Orochimaru. The sudden death of the Fourth Hokage caused the Second Hokage and Naruto's godfather, Jiraiya, to resume his post. However, not willing to let Minato and Kushina's son grow up alone, Jiraiya opted to raise Naruto himself.

Naruto enrolled in the Academy at the age of ten and initially had little talent for ninjutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu. Despite having expectional chakra as a result of his Uzumaki clan lineage, he had trouble grapsing the Academy's teachings on how to control his power. Nevertheless, after two years in the Academy, he graduated as a genin after proving successful in using the Clone Technique. Upon graduating, Naruto was placed in Team 7 alongside Sakura Haruno and an unknown third team member. He was only a member of this team six months when the Shinobi Union determined it was Konoha's turn to host the anual Chūnin Exam. Despite the wishes of Naruto's instructors at the Academy, Kakashi signed Team 7 up for the Exams. Jiraiya took this opportunity to take Naruto under his own wing and train him properly for the Exams.

During his training, a Konoha chūnin named Mizuki stole the Scroll of Seals and Team 7 was sent to retrieve it. Naruto was the first member of his team to locate where Mizuki stashed the scroll, and even managed to read some of its contents before Mizuki found him. Mizuki initially easily defeated Naruto, but was stoped from killing him by the arrival of the rest of Team 7. After expressing their confidence in Naruto, he revealed his new technique, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and assisted his team in defeating Mizuki. Afterwards, he returned to training under his godfather.

Under Jiraiya's guidance, Naruto learned the Summoning Technique and the Rasengan: both techniques his father had mastered. When the Exams commenced, he initially had trouble with the portion designed to force him to cheat and chose to leave his exam blank, allowing him to pass in a surprising twist. The second portion in the Forest of Death was infiltrated by Orochimaru who was seeking to soften up Konoha by taking out some of its most skilled shinobi and using the Exams as a front to sneak in. Naruto was nearly killed by the Sanin, but was able to repel him by displaying the Rasengan for the first time in live combat. Because so many Genin won the second trial, a Preliminary Round for the third was held in which Naruto faced off against Kiba Inazunka and won.

During the month between the Preliminaries and the Finals, Jiraiya taught his goddson more about his innate nature transformation. By the time of the Finals, Naruto had learned to use Wind Release in the form of a palm gale. He used his newfound skills to triumph over Neji Hyūga and Gaara from Sunagakure. The skill he showed in battle, coupled with the ingenuity he displayed in his fight with Neji, earned him the rank of Chūnin. Sometime after recieving his promotion, he ventured to Mount Myōboku at Jiraiya's behest to learn senjutsu. While the exact details of this time are unknown, he was also sent to the Land of Rain to briefly meet and train alongside one of Jiraiya's other students and another member of the Uzumaki clan, Nagato.

At some point after becoming Hokage, Naruto met Tenshiki Ōtsutsuki — the silent guardian of the world — and was acknowledged as the world's protector. He was given some of Tenshiki's chakra, granting him access to incredible power. He also married his longtime friend, Sasuke Uchiha, solidifying a lasting alliance between the Land of Storms and the Land of Fire.

## Appearance

Naruto Namikaze is a tall man with short, messy blonde hair and blue eyes inherited from his father, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. He wears mostly orange clothing and most often seen in an orange sweatshirt that has black stripes along the waist and sleeves, long black pants, and a pair of toeless black boots. In his official capcity as the Fifth Hokage, Naruto wears a white cape similarly to his father. This cape is emblazoned with a red flame patern along the the bottom, is tied together with a red rope, and has the characters for "Fifth Hokage" (五代目火影, *Godaime Hokage*) written vertically down its back. He can also occassionally be seen wearing the Hokage's hat.

As a variant of the original Naruto Uzumaki, he bears some physical differences from the original. Namely, since this version of Naruto is not Kurama's jinchūriki, he lacks the whisker markings on his face that so many vairants of Naruto still possess.

## Abilities

Naruto Namikaze is the single strongest shinobi in his world, and he is hailed as a "God of Shinobi." It was not his lineage as the Fourth Hokage's son or the Second Hokage's student that earned him the title of Fifth Hokage, but his raw skill as a ninja. Though initially Naruto showed little talent for many ninja skills outside of the Clone Technique, thanks to training from both Jiraiya, Nagato, and the sage toads of Mount Myōboku, Naruto was able to overcome his deficiencies and evolve into a truly strong ninja. He is widely regarded as the strongest Hokage in history, as well as the strongest Kage of both his generation and history more broadly.

### Ninjutsu

Naruto is a ninjutsu master, and, like his teacher before him, is famed as the "Toad Sage" (蝦蟇仙人, *Gama Sennin*) due to his association with the toads of Mount Myōboku. Like his original counterpart, his sizable volume of chakra enables him to use both the Shadow Clone Technique and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Through the use of the latter technique, he was able to rapidly increase his experiene and decrease training time, allowing him to learn new techniques much quicker than an average shinobi. Like Jiraiya, his ninjutsu style revolves around a toad theme: both summoning toads or parts of toads, or using toad oil in conjunction with his various nature transformations to achieve blistering effects. Additionally, Naruto has learned to infuse his chakra into an opponent's shadow allowing him to infiltrate top secret locations by controlling them.

#### Rasengan

Naruto's signature technique is the Rasengan: a compressed, spiraling orb of pure chakra and a technique inventd by his father, Minato Namikaze. He was taught the technique by Jiraiya and dramatically improved upon it after extensive training at Mount Myōboku. During the latter training, he developed a number of Rasengan variants. With the Big Ball Rasengan and the Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan, he can dramatically increase the size of the base technique to hit a wider field. He can also combine these bigger Rasengan with his Shadow Clones to be more effective against large targets.

#### Nature Transformations

Naruto naturally has an affinity for wind chakra. Prior to meeting Tenshiki Ōtsutsuki, he could also use fire and earth chakras thanks to training from Jiraiya. After meeting Tenshiki Ōtsutsuki and obtaining some of his chakra, Naruto gained access to both lightning and water chakras, as well as yin and yang. This means that he can use all five nature transformations.

With his wind chakra, Naruto can infuse the Rasengan with elemental power, turning it into the Wind Release: Rasengan. He can also dramatically increase the amount of wind chakra infusion to create the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken: a version of the Rasengan that can be thrown to devastating effect. Like his ordinary Rasengan, Naruto can control the size of the Rasenshuriken, making larger or smaller versions as needed.

In addition to what he can do with his wind chakra, Jiraiya passed onto Naruto his skill with Fire Release. Naruto is thus able to breath large bombs of fire, combine that fire with toad oil to create a blaze, or even combine fire and wind with oil to create an even larger inferno. With Earth Release, he can reshape the landscape into a swamp or create thick defensive walls.

### Senjutsu

Before becoming Hokage, Naruto trained in senjutsu at Mount Myōboku at the behest of his godfather and master, Jiraiya. He proved better at handling natural energy than Jiraiya and was able to perfectly balance it with the physical and spiritual energies of his chakra. Upon doing so, he gains an orange pigmentation around his eyes, which turn golden and gain barlike toad irisses. This Sage Mode tremendously enhances Naruto's physical strength and speed, and the senjutsu chakra that accompanies it also greatly bolsters his ninjutsu. Additionally, Sage Mode turns him into a sensor-type, allowing him to sense the chakra of people he is familiar with within his immediate vicinity.

#### Six Paths Sage Mode

After encountering Tenshiki Ōtsutsuki and recieving a portion of his chakra, Naruto gained access to Six Paths Sage Mode and the unique senjutsu that came with it. When he taps into this power, his eyes turn golden and he gains the toadlike eyes of his oridary Sage Mode. His Hokage cloak becomes coated in chakra and now bears black magatama along the bottom, along with the sigial of the Six Paths (a Rinnegan-like marking beneath which are a field of nine magatama in three rows of three) on the back. His sweater turns completely black and he also is able to manifest nine Truth-Seeking Balls.

Naruto has commented that this form of Sage Mode is even more difficult than the orignal. Whereas a normal Sage Mode is the combination of spiritual, physical, and natural energies, his Six Paths Sage Mode contains all three components in addition to the cosmic energy of the Ōtsutsuki clan. However, thanks to recieving Tenshiki's power, he is able to easily gather and combine all four energy sources to form "Six Paths chakra" (六道のチャクラ, *Rikudō no Chakura*).

## Trivia

* Naruto is bisexual in Earth-10, explaining his marriage to Sasuke Uchiha.
* The author has stated that Naruto is the strongest human being in his world. While some members of the Ōtsutsuki clan might be stronger, no human will ever surpass him.
