History: Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze and Kurama's second jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki. During Naruto's birth, the seal restraining Kurama inside of Kushina weakened, and a mysterious masked man took advantage of this. The masked man managed to extract the nine tailed beast, and used it to attack the Leaf Village. Minato was able to repel the masked man and sever his control over the tailed beast, however, Kurama was still a threat. Minato choose to seal the Nine-tails into his newborn son, believing he would need it's power in the future to defeat the masked man. Kurama's chakra was immense, so much so that Minato was forced to sacrifice his soul with a forbidden jutsu in order to split it's Yin and Yang chakra, taking half into himself and half into Naruto. The seal was completed, but at the cost of Minato and Kushina's lives, as they protected their child from a fatal blow from the demon fox. Regardless of being the son of a hero, Naruto grew up never knowing who his parents were. He was given the last name of his mother to hide his relation to the Fourth Hokage, and the truth was kept hidden from him. Only the Third Hokage and a few others were able to look past their hatred of the demon inside of Naruto, most of the village did not see just a child, but the cause of the tragedy that nearly destroyed their home and took their loved ones away from them. Shunned by both adults and fellow children, Naruto developed a need to prove himself and be acknowledged by the village, even if he caused trouble in the process.

Though noted to be crude in their methods, this however, eventually led to the destruction of Uzushiogakure and the rest of the Land of Whirlpools during the era of Shinobi World Wars, as other nations had begun to see the village as too great a threat to go unchecked."

This is considered a forbidden jutsu do to the massive amount of chakra required to use it, utilizing this jutsu could be fatal for an average ninja. SAMPLE POST Inside of his home, Naruto was alone as usual. He currently had three shadow clones with him, but they obviously didn't count. A small red ball was being bounced around between them with precise kicks. Needless to say, he was bored. He'd have played cards again but he was starting to get paper cuts, and it's always awkward when an opponent poofs out of existence because of a micro-cut. "That old geezer, it's just a hat, who cares if I try it on?" Naruto grumbled to himself, recalling his visit to the Hokage's office. So what if he sneaked into the Hokage's office, so what if he broke some ugly looking vase, so what if he accidentally dropped the Third's hat into a manure pile? Thinking about it now, it did seem rather bad, Naruto grimaced, perhaps he deserved the lump throbbing on his head. He moved a hand to the bump on his head, which was being nursed by a bag of ice. Iruka should probably let up on the disciplinary smacks, any harder and he could have forgotten the twenty minute long lecture he got about respecting the attire of the Kage. "I got it already dattebayo..." He mumbled. "Hey watch it!" One of his shadow clones yelled. Naruto looked up, only to see the red ball flying right into his face. It smacked him right between the eyes, causing him to lurch back and make the ice to fall down his shirt, which caused him to promptly freak out and trip over his table. He fell on the floor, and his shadow clones poofed away. Slowly sitting up he noticed he had sat on his headband. He picked it up, and couldn't help but stare at it once again. He worked so hard to earn this headband, just holding it in his hands gave him a sense of pride. "...tch, now I get it." CHARACTER DIRECTION There are certain aspects of Naruto that I like, and others that I don't. I actually like that he's a typical shounin hero, I believe it's a trope that doesn't have to be negative at all. Naruto is a character that's easy to relate to, and it's easy to root for him as he faces challenges that are over his head. I want to inflate this aspect of Naruto. I want him to grow stronger along with his friends, and help change people along the way as well. Basically, the Naruto that you see during his fight with Neji is the ideal Naruto to me. His stubbornness to accept how cruel the ninja world is, his disdain for organization combined with his desire to become the face of his village, I'd like more of that. The parts of Naruto that I began to dislike where his connections to 'fate' and 'destiny.' He told Neji that no one is fated to be anything, and I believed for a long time that this was the theme of the series. Naruto wasn't fated to be a loser, Neji wasn't fated to be cursed by his own clan, Garra wasn't fated to be alone and in pain. Yet the themes of combating fate and growing along with your comrades was for the most part thrown out of the window when Naruto began to do most of everything on his own, and when it was revealed that he was the reincarnation of a demi-god. I want to keep the theme straight, and not have Naruto set out to be some messiah like figure by the end of this. As for his abilities, I'd like to keep them relatively simple, at least when compared to the arsenal he has by the end of the series. I want to develop a few more wind based jutsu for him, and keep him as more of a scrapper on the battlefield. DID YOU READ THE RULES? 17?
