Naruto has and always will be a jokester, though he plays his pranks for different reasons now-a-days. He prefers to gain positive attention and therefore he does what he can to succeed at whatever he attempts. He always keeps a cheery demeaner, no matter what kind of mood he's truly in. He is very eager and impatient to get things done, except when it doesn't directly benefit him. Though this doesn't make him selfish, he will do whatever is needed for anyone he cares about. He is very influential even if he doesn't realize it.
He believes himself to be a natural leader and will bump heads with anyone who tries to prove otherwise. He is not always the brightest crayon in the box but he will defend himself to the end. He's very optimistic and likes to put out his two-cents to whomever'll listen. However, he usually ends up speaking before he thinks and he gets into trouble of all sorts. He has a short-temper when provoked directly and has a fiery attitude when he's defending himself or others. He seems immature to some, but really he's just trying to be himself.
H I S T O R Y
Naruto was born with a combination of evolutions. The more commonly recognized kind where one could manipulate the elements; his being wind, and the one being unique to him.
This was caused by his mother, Uzumaki Kushina, being one of a few who volunteered for an experimentation done by Konoha to mimic the kind being done in Kirigakure to decrease the citizens' need for basic survival things (ex. food and water). However, Konoha scientists didn't research Kiri's scientific methods thoroughly so they were missing some vital things they needed to make it work. The experimentation worked on the animals pretty well so they decided that it was safe to test on humans. They made up a test group, including Kushina, and used the same methods that had tested positive in the animals. Nonetheless, humans are not the same as lab animals so there were a few complications in the results. Most of the test subjects ended up with mutations and a few died shortly after.
Kushina was one of the luckier ones who seemed to be normal besides her altered appearance and senses. They had been running the DNA of the testees with that of different animals that needed less to survive than humans or had other traits desirable. Kushina's animal had been a fox, they were going for the creature's enhanced hearing, smell, reflexes, stamina, and speed. Instead of just gaining these abilities, she also had other mutations, some obvious such as elongated canines, hardened, claw-like nails, and the such. The other mutations were not so obvious and would only show up later in her life after becoming pregnant with Naruto.
Her pregnancy started out normal enough, only with the animalistic tendencies that she had already started exhibiting soon after the experimentation. Near the end however, her personality had become more unpredictable. She was more liable to snap into aggravated tantrums, usually injuring a person or two. Because of this, the council had placed her under house arrest and her husband was in charge of taking care of all outside needs. This lack of freedom only worsened her mood swings and by the time her 9-month term was almost up, she had to be placed in the hospital early to keep her tied down to prevent anymore injuries.
Once Naruto was born, Kushina's personality mellowed out back to normal and she was allowed to go back to her home. However, the next set of unseen abnormalities in her mutation acted up, seemed to be agitated by the pregnancy, and her cells started to break down at heightened rates. Rates too quick for normal mitosis to keep up with. Soon after a week had passed since Naruto's birth, Kushina's mood (which had been calm thus far) turned violent. Naruto remained unharmed thanks to being hidden by Minato (who took his own battle wounds), but the man wasn't able to prevent the woman from leaving the house and killing two people and injuring multiple others before falling down and dying on contact. The cell damage in her body was too extensive and had even damaged her brain, causing her violent rampage and quickly-following death.
This left Naruto and Minato on their own, Minato having to care for Naruto as a single parent.
Growing up was as average as it could be for a child being raised by just his dad. The boy was usually sheltered by his father from the gossip and such around the dome. Most people claiming that Kushina had been a monster and that Naruto would grow up to be just like her. A lot of people feared Naruto and pitied Minato. The council made multiple suggestions that Naruto should be kept in containment for the safety of others and for monitoring/testing.
As Naruto grew, he realized that people gave him weird looks and avoided him if he was seen outside anywhere. It wasn't until he started school at four-years-old that the boy really got the blunt end of what his mother's legacy had started. His father disappeared, presumed dead, and Naruto was devastated. He had lost both of his parents and went into a mild depression, cut short by the liveliness of his age, but it had led to him blocking out most of the memories he had of his father until he couldn’t even remember what he looked like.
Besides this, he was teased, taunted, and bullied in school. The kids were told by their parents not to go near the young Uzumaki for fear he might mangle their precious offspring, rumors even running that he’d been the one to kill his father. Naruto soon started becoming the class clown and pulling pranks so that people would laugh at him for something he caused rather than making fun of him for something he didn't even understand. He learned not too long into the bullying that he was only ridiculed more if he cried or showed that their cruelty was affecting him so he usually covered it with a fake smile (something he continues to do in recent times). Some of his teachers tried their best to keep the kids off of Naruto's case, but even they could be cruel sometimes. Naruto's bad behavior got worse and soon, side-effects from his evolution started showing through.
He had been born with an altered appearance: whisker-like scars on his cheeks, hardened nails, elongated canines, and had enhanced scent, hearing, reflexes, appetite, speed, stamina: much like his mother. He also gained her instabilities in mood, though on a much smaller level. His mood swings were few and far between, mainly rising as result of some stressor or something of the sort. They mainly developed after the bullying in school caused him to gain emotional and mental scarring as well as the sudden absence of his father.
His mood swings normally didn't happen during school, being as he could normally keep tabs on his own mood during this time from habit. They would usually occur at home (while his father was still around) or on the way home were he to get jumped. These mood-attacks were much like Kushina's: Naruto would go almost completely animalistic (which would include his eyes turning red and slitted) and attacking everything near him wildly. He doesn’t usually remember what happens after these outbursts.
During this time, he somewhat befriended a small group of boys. It seemed that Kiba, Shikamaru, and Chouji had the same interests as Naruto when it came to ditching class early. The three also made plans to make it outside the dome during the times they were denying themselves education, not wanting to wait until they were 16.
While Shikamaru and Chouji drew away from the plans eventually, Kiba still seemed for the idea. So during this time, with guards and Gunji thwarting their every plan. the two boys grew closer. Kiba being Naruto's first "best friend."
It was at nine that Naruto made two more friends, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura.
Sasuke was not the type to bother with picking on other children and he and Naruto had been sort of bittersweet friends since the blond and raven had started school together. Naruto having a small, underlying respect and envy of the other since he seemed to deal with what had happened to him much better than Naruto could and even managed to be top of the class on top of this.
Sakura was, to Naruto, the most beautiful and amazing girl he’d ever met. She was strong, sweet, smart, and caring, except when Naruto got the brunt end of her fist. Even with her apprehensive attitude towards him, Naruto never gave up on his plan to impress and hopefully date the girl. He continuously helped her out, refusing anytime she tried to convince him otherwise.
It was during one of these times, that the two of them met Sai. Sakura had stayed out late and Naruto met up with her and insisted he walk her home. He saw himself as toughened and capable of doing so since he basically raised himself after his father’s death, the dome supplying him with the things he needed since his father had been Chancellor. Cooking and basic cleaning were skills he had to quickly learn as well as the ability to keep bullies off of him.
While they were walking, Sakura pointed out Sasuke, getting excited as she always did when she was around. Naruto suggested they get Sasuke to help walk her home, even if he didn’t really want the guy around and interfering with his alone-time with Sakura. They found out that while, from the front, Sai and Sasuke looked the same, Sai was missing a few key traits and to both of the kids’ dismay, was not Sasuke. Sakura apologized for the mistake and the two of them continued on their way.
When Naruto finished school and was sent for specialized training, he chose to be in the Kounokei. He claims he did this not to be like his father, but to be better than his father and to show everyone that he wasn't just a mindless monster like everyone thought him to be. He planned on showing the whole dome just what he could do. He was joined in this by his friends Sasuke and Kiba. He roomed with Kiba in the provided military apartments with Sasuke next door. The three's friendship grew even more over these years and they became even more inseparable. Sai was also here and there, training on his own or helping out, but the guy’s constant insults and degrading nicknames, as well as his seemingly nonexistent emotions, rubbed Naruto wrong and there weren’t many confrontations that didn’t end with Naruto needing to be restrained from pummeling the other young man.
While in this specialized training, he met up with a boy named Konohamaru. The two butted heads immediately as both are headstrong. Konohamaru was impressed with how Naruto didn't give a shit about how he was related to the Sarutobi family and decided that Naruto was going to be his mentor. Naruto wasn't immediately impressed with this, but Konohamaru grew on him and now the two are like brothers (though Konohamaru seems to treat it as a more mentor/protege relationship with his nickname for Naruto: "boss"). Konohamaru seems to be impressed with Naruto's goal as anything Naruto puts his mind to do (ie: be in Kounokei, be the future Councelor), Konohamaru places as his goals as well, insisting that the two of them are rivals.
Much of his remaining specialized training went by as normal as most of the other youths. He finished military training and was placed into a four-man team with Sasuke and Sakura with Hatake Kakashi as their leader and final instructor. Naruto learned more about how close he really needed to be to his teammates (..and his gun) during these years.
During one of their missions, they were attacked by a name named Hiroko who claimed to want Sasuke’s clan’s natural ability. Naruto refused to let Sasuke be taken and was captured as well as Sakura for her persistence as well. While in Hiroko’s captivity, it was found out that Naruto had unique abilities of his own and they were wanted as well. The team was consistently tortured and tormented, used against each other, and experimented on until a recovery team was sent by the dome: consisting of Kakashi, Yamato, and Sai, as well as a few backup teams; Kiba also being included
This horrible episode brought Team 07 even closer than they were before. Causing Naruto to respect Sasuke as more of a brother and Sakura as something way more than just a crush. His relationship with Kiba grew deeper as well, the realization of just how close he was to him sinking in. He even grew closer to Sai, not having expected such a emotionless asshole to actually come to their rescue.
Now Team 07 is older and is allowed to go out on their own missions without the guidance of their mentor. Sai works as a replacement sometimes for when one of them is sick or if Sakura is too busy in the hospital to join them.

- His wind manipulation was enhanced during his Specialized Training years. Most of the evolved students were put with a person that had similar abilities to teach them and encourage them to control it. Naruto currently has surpassed what his dad could do with wind by successfully pulling off what they call "Rasengan" and has even made several enhanced forms of this technique as well.
- He modifies all of his weapons himself and takes pretty good care of them.
- He rarely remembers what happens after an outburst but is haunted by what he has woken up to after one.
- He found a large stash of PlayBoy and other racy magazines of the sort and kept them. Sometimes he shares them with Konohamaru to "educate" the boy.
- HIS GOAL IN LIFE IS TO RIDE A RAPTORCHICKEN!
R O L E P L A Y * S A M P L E
The back of a gloved hand was drug across Naruto's forehead, wiping the sweat from it before it could slip into his eyes. He leveled his eyes with one of the few Konoha-captive raptorchickens across the settling dust. They had a fancier name, but he could never remember it.
There were only three in the whole dome and it had been a "bitch" to capture them according to the guy in charge of the experiment. The experiment that would hopefully lead to the Kyounokei finally having some transportation, and Naruto had already decided...
he was going to be the first Konoha citizen to successfully ride one. Even if it killed him.
Though the latter seemed much more likely after the twentieth time of being thrown off and nearly clawed to death. He had gashes running along his skin and his shirt had been long shredded past repair, luckily he thought ahead enough that it wasn't one he'd really miss.
Funny thing was, this was just a hen, not the rooster that was his true goal.
"You're gonna be mine, chicky-chicky," Naruto cooed, climbing back over the fence he'd leapt over previously to escape. The animal stepped around cautiously, still highly agitated herself from the previous attempts. Her feathers stood on end as she took a defensive stance, being ridden definitely not on her agenda for the day.
Crouching slightly, he eased around the raptor in a slow circle. The creature followed him with her head, stepping to wheel herself around when she couldn't turn her neck anymore. A slow smirk slid across Naruto's lips as he licked at some spare blood dripping from a cut on his cheek, making him wince slightly when it wasn't sweat like he'd expected.
He leapt and darted behind the creature, his evolved abilities making him just a tad quicker than the hen. With a whoop, he jumped and tugged himself up on the raptor's back, hugging his arms tightly around her ribs under her shoulders to avoid being scratched up by claws. It was more effective than holding her around the neck as he found out after the thirteenth time of getting his arms mauled and the raptor spinning in a frenzy since she thought she was being strangled.
Muscles and tendons slithered beneath the heated scales, the hen running around the pen and squawking loudly, flailing all of her extremities. Naruto refused to let go, he was so damn close!
Then a foot decorated by claws the size of daggers dug into his side and made him cry out before...yet again...he was thrown onto his back and had to roll away to avoid another attack by the ungodly talons. His heart thumped in his throat as he shot across to the nearest fence panel and ducked under.
The raptor continued to flail, making much more noise than before, but Naruto could care less. He'd been so fucking close! He was practically there! If not for the huge, gushing gash in his side, he would have gone again, but he remembered how badly he'd been throttled by Sakura for injuring himself the last time.
Sighing, he pulled off his shirt and pressed it against the wound and began to lumber towards the medical center, a light limp in his step, his body peppered heavily with cuts and bruises, probably some internal injuries from being stomped on, and dirt coating the majority of his sweat-slicked skin.
But he couldn't have felt better about it!

Her feathers stood on end as she took a defensive stance, being ridden definitely not on her agenda for the day.
Crouching slightly, he eased around the raptor in a slow circle. The creature followed him with her head, stepping to wheel herself around when she couldn't turn her neck anymore. A slow smirk slid across Naruto's lips as he licked at some spare blood dripping from a cut on his cheek, making him wince slightly when it wasn't sweat like he'd expected.
He leapt and darted behind the creature, his evolved abilities making him just a tad quicker than the hen. With a whoop, he jumped and tugged himself up on the raptor's back, hugging his arms tightly around her ribs under her shoulders to avoid being scratched up by claws. It was more effective than holding her around the neck as he found out after the thirteenth time of getting his arms mauled and the raptor spinning in a frenzy since she thought she was being strangled.
Muscles and tendons slithered beneath the heated scales, the hen running around the pen and squawking loudly, flailing all of her extremities. Naruto refused to let go, he was so damn close!
Then a foot decorated by claws the size of daggers dug into his side and made him cry out before...yet again...he was thrown onto his back and had to roll away to avoid another attack by the ungodly talons. His heart thumped in his throat as he shot across to the nearest fence panel and ducked under.
The raptor continued to flail, making much more noise than before, but Naruto could care less. He'd been so fucking close! He was practically there! If not for the huge, gushing gash in his side, he would have gone again, but he remembered how badly he'd been throttled by Sakura for injuring himself the last time.
Sighing, he pulled off his shirt and pressed it against the wound and began to lumber towards the medical center, a light limp in his step, his body peppered heavily with cuts and bruises, probably some internal injuries from being stomped on, and dirt coating the majority of his sweat-slicked skin.
But he couldn't have felt better about it!
