Naruto Uzumaki (うずまきナルト, Uzumaki Naruto) is a shinobi from the Uzumaki clan of Konohagakure. He became the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki on the day of his birth - a fate that caused him to be shunned by most of Konoha during his childhood. After joining Team Kakashi, Naruto worked hard to gain recognition from the village while pursuing his dream of becoming Hokage.
