Naruto: 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Naruto Uzumaki

it's hard not to love Naruto Uzumaki but I'll tell you why Sakura never did you learn some surprising facts about our hero including which character was his true first kiss the Naruto story may be many things but it's definitely not short so it's hardly a surprise that so many fans can't help but compare it to the similarly long one piece but a few people realized just how much these two pieces of fiction crossover with one another original Ichigo Oda was going to name his character Sanji Naruto but there was just one little piece of a problem with that the name was already taken by a bold blond boy starring in his own serial manga and Shonen Jump so oda ended up changing his character's name to Sanji in order to prevent fans from becoming confused and that's not the only time these two popular franchises were influenced by one another when Naruto ended one piece showed Luffy eating Naruto's favorite food ramen on the cover of chapter 766 there's also a little Fox seated at the table with an Uzi Maki or spiral on his clothes and the waitress is dressed in a familiar Konoha Goku day pattern it's clear that Luffy is seated across the table from someone whose face is hidden but is unmistakably Naruto himself but don't think that Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto didn't repay the favor in the last chapter of Naruto you can see graffiti of Luffy's skull and crossbones symbol early on and Naruto it was clear that our titular hero was smitten with Sakura but she wasn't the person he shared his first kiss with in fact if you're used to watching the edited version of the show on Cartoon Network he might have missed out on this scene entirely vulnera toe was pining for Sakura it was actually his rival Sasuke who he ended up puckering up to when the episode Sasuke and Sakura friends or foes okay so it was a total accident that took place during their fast-paced fight but still there was definite lip to lip contact between these two rivals who could barely stand to look at each other at this point in the story alas for those of you who shipped Naruto and Sasuke this scene was edited out of the episode when it aired on Cartoon Network but funny enough this accidental smooch wasn't censored during a flashback scene in the episode the broken seal so if you were wondering if you missed them kissing the first time around the answer is yes but not because you weren't paying attention maybe Cartoon Network realized that even if they didn't show Sasuke and Naruto kissing there's more than enough fan art of the stuff out there whether they actually saw the smoocher not there are some fans out there who think the Naruto and Sasuke should have ended up as a couple but that's not exactly what creator Masashi Kishimoto had in mind when he first created the character of Naruto Uzumaki he knew that in order to tell his story he would need to provide him with motivation sure things like love freedom and justice are great motivators but let's not forget about a good ol fashioned bitter rivalry in many ways Sasuke was essential to the creation of Naruto and once kishimoto decided what their relationship would be like the story started to evolve not only did this help kishimoto get started on Naruto but their rivalry helped him finish it right from the beginning kishimoto knew that the series would end with the battle between naruto and sasuke the only thing that took some time to figure out was how these two characters would meet would they meet on the field as enemies or as friends trying to compare their strength and skill well there was a lot to figure out the final confrontation between sasuke and naruto was what guided a lot of the story there are a lot of characters in naruto and there are fans of them coupling up and pretty much every possible configuration early on naruto had feelings for sakura which weren't reciprocated to say the least but many fans felt that he was a better match for quiet Hinata Hyuga including Kishimoto well many of us watched the show and wondered who Naruto would end up with his romantic fate was decided by Kishimoto right from the very beginning for him there was absolutely no question that Naruto did not belong with Sakura and it was only a matter of time before he ended up with Hinata although for that to happen there had to be a major event that bonded them together Kishimoto believed that the loss of her cousin Neji Hyuga would help bring him out a closer to her crush Naruto he felt that losing Neji was a shared experience of help Naruto and Hinata become a couple even though the loss of Neji may have been surprising for fans Kishimoto was determined for Naruto and Hinata to be together no the cost Naruto's parents minato and Kushina passed away before the enemy started so it was hardly surprising that we didn't see them but it turns out that Kishimoto originally never wanted to show them on the screen even though they gave their lives to save Naruto and the village as far as he was concerned their story was over and thus there was no point in bringing them back in any capacity but something major happened in the real world that totally changed his mind on the topic he became a dad when Kishimoto became a parent himself it got him thinking about what life must have really been like for Naruto growing up as an orphan and how much his family must have loved him this caused him to totally change his stance on including Naruto's parents and he even modeled Kushina after his own wife Kishimoto wanted Naruto to have a relationship with his parents after becoming a father himself but there was a tiny issue of them having perished many years prior but he managed to squeeze in plenty of opportunities for Naruto to meet his parents in some capacity and tried to make up for lost time there were a lot of decisions Masashi Kishimoto had to make when creating naruto uzumaki and the fantastical fictional world he lives in including his parents being influenced by his own father hood and his rivalry with sasuke was used to propel Naruto's character growth but surprisingly some of the most iconic aspects of the franchise were done for one simple reason laziness okay let's just say they were done for the sake of simplicity you know Naruto's headband you've probably noticed it once or twice since it's an important part of his outfit well in the first episode Naruto was shown wearing a pair of goggles instead but after putting pen to paper kishimoto realized that goggles aren't the easiest thing to drop and he really didn't want to keep depicting them so in order to make his life a little bit easier he switched up Naruto's accessories which is why he wears a headband for the rest of the show another popular aspect of Naruto's character design is his catchphrase in the Japanese version he says dota bio and in the English version he exclaims believe it but it might surprise you to learn the DeMeo does not translate to believe it in fact it doesn't have an exact English translation at all believe it was chosen because Naruto's lips look like that's what he could be saying when he's really saying that Tobiah ho even though Naruto's world is fictional it definitely does not take place in modern day but originally that was actually the plan pilot episode of the Naruto manga was incredibly different than what we ended up with the setting was a modern city instead of a rural version of ancient Japan and the location and time period weren't the only differences that ended up changing substantially in the pilot Naruto was a straight-up demon Fox who just took on the form of a young boy his father had attacked the ninja village and as a result folks there had a grudge against Naruto the village chief thought of move to the big city might help Naruto make friends and maybe even not turn into a big scary village destroying demon as much as I hate to admit it I'm well aware that the world of Naruto Uzumaki is fictional but that doesn't mean there aren't some amazing real world places you can visit if you're a big enough fan yes there's a place in Japan called Naruto and it's a city located in Tokushima Prefecture in Japan it was founded in 1947 so needless to say it predates the manga by quite a bit but that doesn't mean the city doesn't celebrate the legacy of Naruto Uzumaki they even created a replica of the famous Hokage rock to be displayed above a government building if that's not enough to satisfy your inner super fan there's also a Naruto theme park located in Awaji Shima which is based on Konoha village visitors receive Scrolls and have to solve missions and find their way through mazes to go through the attractions but if you're more interested in the culinary site of Naruto I can help you out there too Naruto's favorite restaurant ichiraku ramen was a real place and Masashi Kishimoto used to eat there before he started writing Naruto unfortunately the specific shop that inspired kishimoto closed out in 2014 but there are other locations Naruto fans can visit there's one of the global harbour shopping mall in Fukuoka and it's definitely embraced its connection to the show there are many unique traits and abilities that show up in the world of Naruto while many of them can be learned some of them have a genetic component including the Byakugan in the anime this manifests in large light colored irises with no visible pupils the Byakugan gene originated with the otsutsuki clan and made its way to their descendants in the Hyuga clan if that's the case then why weren't Berto and Hema machi born with Byakugan are their Uzumaki genes just too powerful the answer to this question is surprisingly simple because according to kishimoto he just plain old forgot apparently he had originally intended for the kids to have their mothers eyes but drew them with more traditional eyes by mistake later on in an effort to correct this he had boruto manifest the Geoghan in his right eye as for Himawari she got her Byakugan and the cyano shows chapter in the day Naruto became Hokage Kishimoto also noted that if Hinata in Naruto were to have a third child he would definitely remember to have them born with Byakugan this time it would be easier to list shown in mangas that haven't been inspired by accurate orianna's Dragon Ball franchise Masashi Kishimoto was a big fan when he was growing up and it not only helped him create Naruto but got him interested in manga and anime in general he grew up watching Dragonball as well as Toriyama's other popular show dr. slump Kishimoto also admitted that Goku was a major influence for Naruto since he admired his energetic and mischievous personality so needless to say there are tons of references to the Dragon Ball franchise in Naruto if you know where to look many characters in Naruto have worn masks but there's something special about this one from the manga it looks just like the Dragon Ball character chiaotzu with his signature pale face and rosy red cheeks in the video game naruto shippuden ultimate ninja storm 3 there's a code which unlocks the option of dressing naruto like Goku and in Dragon Ball Z battle of Z and you can then dress Goku up as Naruto there's even a character in Naruto named Roshi who is clearly meant to be an homage to Dragon Balls Master Roshi if that wasn't subtle enough one of the tailed beasts is actually called son Goku well I'm busy looking up flights to see Naruto's real-life ramen shop let me know what your favorite fact about him is in the comment
