Naruto Uzumaki, the main character of Naruto, is an enthusiastic and stubborn boy. What makes him special is the Kyuubi, Nine-Tailed Demon-Fox that was sealed inside him. Because of this, Naruto frightens the citizens of Konoha. The only ones who believe in him are his teacher, Iruka Umino, 3rd Hokage and Hinata Hyuuga.

Naruto is determined to prove to everyone that he is a ninja worthy of recognition. His ultimate goal is to become Hokage, the strongest ninja in Konoha. HIs main focus now however is to be able to defeat his rival and best friend, Sasuke Uchiha.

Age: 15 years old
Height: 166 cm
Rank: Genin

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 more cunning. However, Naruto is still 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.

It seems Naruto's feelings for Sakura have matured. He does not seem to have a child-like crush anymore. 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, and they seem to like spending time together. Naruto is now noticeably taller than Sakura and some of his other friends. (In Part I, he is made fun of for being shorter than her.)
