Actionmanrandell wrote: the real reason naruto had whiskers because thats what kishimoto wanted. in the original story naruto wasn't the host of the nine tailed fox, he was the fox himself in human form. when he switched it to the HOST of the nine tails he simply kept the same design. in the canon material there is no explanation of why he has whiskers its just that he does have whiskers That's answering a question literally no one asked. The OP is obviously asking for an in-universe reason for Naruto and Boruto and Himaware having whiskers despite none of the others having them. They weren't asking for the reason for that design choice in the first place.
