Talk:Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto altered by the Ninetails at birth?
I feel it worth mentioning Naruto was born with his whisker marks - a trait that actually marks Kinkaku and Ginkaku as having chakra like that of the Ninetails' - before the fox is actually sealed into him. Could this mean that Naruto was changed by the Ninetails' power even at birth? That may explain the fact that, even without the help of the Ninetails, Naruto has an abnormally large supply of chakra.


 * It is mentioned already. Naruto's stamina is an Uzumaki trait. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:30, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Chakra Blades?
Shouldn't we put Chakra Blades as one of naruto's weapons? I think I saw him using it in the OVA Sasori soul (talk) 16:33, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Name
I seem to have no luck finding the answer to this, so I'll ask it now. What does Naruto's name actually mean? I know what it could possibly mean, but what is the canon meaning for his name?98.22.70.204 (talk) 20:38, March 17, 2011 (UTC)Ryne
 * The first notation --Cerez☺ (talk) 20:45, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

It says a possible meaning of it. It doesn't say, "Naruto's name means (insert meaning here)" I'm looking for a definite meaning, not a possible one.98.22.70.204 (talk) 20:50, March 17, 2011 (UTC)Ryne

Or am I overlooking something and his name does not have an official meaning? I know that Japanese can be written where the actual meaning is not known. Is it done is katakana?98.22.70.204 (talk) 21:04, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Height Difference Image
Would this image from the atbook be better than the current image? The one from the artbook is higher quality and is better due to the anime one having strange expressions IMO.  ~ Fmakck© → Talk → Contributions ~ 04:45, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * The manga image has already been uploaded for whatever chapter it originally appeared in. *doesn't want to look it up* ~SnapperTo 05:35, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * found it. I will change it if no one disagrees.  ~ Fmakck© → Talk → Contributions ~ 05:39, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Naruto Series Status
With the catastrophe that happened in Japan recently does anyone know the status of the Manga Series. Is it going to be canceled or put on hold. That goes for other series like Bleach, One Piece, Rosario Vampire and High School of the Dead. Cause there all produced in Japan.

I'll humor you and simply say no. This isn't where you talk about things like that. This isn't a forum, and if it were allowed, you would need to post on the actual series' page, not the page of the protagonist.

Based on the fact that new chapters of Naruto and Bleach are coming out this next week, it is safe to assume that nothing is being canceled. Jump took a break as a result of the catastrophe. A one week break is nothing to complain about.Ryne 91 (talk) 04:15, March 26, 2011 (UTC)Ryne

Dark Naruto: After Killer Bee disagreed to train Naruto?
Killer Bee never disagreed! Read the Volume, Killer Bee does a handshake/rap thing with Naruto, meaning he did agree!!! LordOfDarkness (talk) 03:44, March 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I know right? And then, when Bee slammed the door in Naruto's face, it was only insomuch as to say, "lemme get my things". And then, when Naruto complains to Motoi that Bee won't train him, he was being ironic. ~SnapperTo 04:40, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Ying yang
I'snt naruto able to use ying and yang chakra. His training to use the tail beast bomb requires it. --Rigoberto60 (talk) 13:11, March 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * TBB is black and white, not yin and yang. ~SnapperTo 18:06, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

 * I should have said "site layout" and not "skin". Are you using MonoBook or the Wikia layout? ~SnapperTo 17:23, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

wikia --Rigoberto60 (talk) 17:42, April 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Switch to MonoBook? The hide TOC option works with that layout at least. ~SnapperTo 17:48, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

100 x Chakra
There is one thing i don't understand. When Kakashi explained that naruto had 4x more chakra than him and that if he wasn't suppressing the foxes it would be 100x. Did Kakashi mean that naruto's unrestrained chakra and unsuppressed foxes chakra is 100x greater or that naruto's chakra alone would be 100x greater? --Rigoberto60 (talk) 18:40, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Naruto's total amount of chakra without the nine-tails' chakra being suppressed would be 100x greater.--Deva 27 18:44, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

So Its naruto + fox = 100x greater. --Rigoberto60 (talk) 19:03, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Naruto knows Flying Swallow in the anime
Naruto learned how to use this technique along with Sai while they were training with Asuma in the anime. Also, during Shippuuden episode 66, when Naruto was fighting Sai, Naruto blocked Sai's tri-blade claw with his kunai that was clearly chakra-enhanced and and broke one of the blades off. (Steveo920) 14:13, April 7, 2011

thats no sai its sora and you are right he was seen using it. --Rigoberto60 (talk) 18:41, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

No he doesn't. This discussion has happened before, and it's in a talk page archive somewhere. Naruto doesn't know this technique because the knife he threw did not have the same effect as Asuma, Sora, or Kazuma had. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:02, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

Again, I'm not talking about Asuma first demonstration of the Flying Swallow in the manga, I'm talking about what happened in the Fire Temple Arc where the vibrations in Naruto's kunai were just like Sora's claw-blades. Even Asuma himself said in Shippuuden episode 63 that Naruto and Sora had advanced beyond his ability to help in that area. I honestly don't see why it is so hard to accept that Naruto used new jutsu on-screen correctly just because he didn't actually say the name of it. Please, just put this jutsu in Naruto's jutsu list as as "anime only" because he DID use it in the anime. (Steveo920) 21:36, April 7, 2011

Odd, I watched that filler arc, I remember them practising and Asuma thinking to himself about both of them doing more than what he expected. Then something about expecting that for Naruto because he's a jinchuriki, but not for Sora. The reason I understand Sora is listed is because when he's mad at some point, he throws the knife and it goes through both the tree and the rock. Is that the episode you mentioned? Can you give me a timeframe? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:01, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

First, look at Shippuuden episode 63 at 11:19 to see Asuma telling Naruto and Sora that they need to train themselves to get better. Secondly, look at Shippuuden episode 66 at 8:10 to see Naruto using FLYING SWALLOW with his standard kunai to block and break Sora's claw-blade. He also used in on episode 69 at 14:35 to repel Sora's demon-enhanced Beast Wave Palm. I doubt Naruto could have repeled something so powerful with a half-assed technique. (Steveo920) 22:49, April 7, 2011

Just watched those three parts. The only one I could actually consider a use is the third one. In the second one, you can see that the way the chakra is flowing isn't the same as when Asuma does it. There was more force behind that one because it was still in Naruto's hands, and Sora also pressed against it. In the third, the kunai is cut by Sora's attack, but because of that, we can't see if the chakra flows the same way. There's also no sound effect like it happens with Asuma. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:56, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

So what? The sound isn't always heard. It usually is only heard when first being activated. Just because he isn't as proficient at it as Asuma doesn't mean he doesn't know it. He can't use the Rasengan in the traditional way but he can still use it. (Steveo920) 22:42, April 8, 2011

Categories
Perhaps it's time we compartmentalize the character pages.

Ex:

At least for the main characters. Cidem1324 (talk) 22:39, April 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * That setup is really unappealing. Putting the articles on a much-needed diet is more practical. ~SnapperTo 22:44, April 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * I would normally support making a robust category system, but we already have semantic listing, which does pretty much everything categories would do. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:39, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

D Book
This probably isnt the place for this but does anyone know when the next data book will be out so the stats can finally change. Its a little weird that naruto is ranked way lower than jiraiya when he defeated someone jiraiya couldn't. --Rigoberto60 (talk) 16:38, April 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * You're right friend, it isn't.--Cerez365™☺ 16:56, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Classification.
Should we now add Sensor to Naruto's classification in the info box, with sage mode he can use sensing that surpasses Inoichi on chakra frequency and the ability to further to see the war from how far the turtle is from the battle field up to 6 different scenes and with Kyubi chakra he can sense negative emotions. It think its enough to declare him a sensor.Umishiru (talk) 01:04, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * His sensing derives form Sage Mode, and he's already listed as a sage. It's not like he's sensing the way Karin or C does when sensing. That's the reasons we haven't added sensor to his infobox. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:19, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Naruto's "sensory" skills are under heavy conditions...he either needs to be in sage/ rikudo mode for that reason alone i'd say no.--Cerez365™☺ 01:21, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Shinobi War Arc.
I think the newest adds to Naruto article on this should be re-written. It seems rushed and sort of squashed in there. Reading it, I didn't get the images I saw in the manga coming up in my head. I imagined a whole different version of events by this description. I would rewrite it myself, but I wouldn't know where to begin with this quick, back and forth writing.

Rasengan: Two hands or shadow clones?
I have a quick question that I think could be clarified in the entry: I was just watching Kabuto vs Naruto, and noticed Naruto made a rasengan with two hands. Throughout most of the series it seems he always needed a shadow clone, though. So what's the deal, does he just need two hands, or a shadow clone?


 * I believe that the two-handed Rasengan in that scene is meant to be imperfect, or at least not of the same quality. ~SnapperTo 04:47, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * What he used was a "partial Rasengan". That Rasengan only scratches the surface, while a real Rasengan grinds through. You can watch chapter 155/episode 89 (original) to see the difference. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 04:54, April 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Naruto is said to have poor chakra control, and therefore usually uses a clone to do half of the process to produce Rasengan (whereas Minato, Kakashi, and Jiraiya could do it one-handed due to better control). He can use 2 hands instead of a clone, but it's probably easier for him to focus on fighting with a clone helping.Ravarath (talk) 04:53, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

The thing is you see this too often. When naruto was fighting pein, the first rasen shuriken was made with three clones as well as the rest up until it was naruto vs god realm (after the talk with the 4th hokage)after naruto tacked nagato he formed rasen shuriken with his own two hands almost like goku does kamehameha. My guess is he is constantly increasing his chakra control. --Rigoberto60 (talk) 00:29, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

Height
I notice this " he was one of the shortest in his graduating class, second only to Hinata Hyūga" in Naruto article. But Naruto's height in part 1 is 145.3 cm-147.5 cm and Hinata's height is 147.3 cm-148.3 cm. She is taller. -Spout 201.201.8.46 (talk) 05:03, April 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand that as there was shorter than Hinata.. Naruto is shorter than Hinata.. Ilnarutoanime --09:55, April 27, 2011 (UTC)
