Character name: Uzumaki Naruto
Series:
NarutoAge: 16
Canon: Naruto takes place in a world where there are several rival hidden villages made entirely out of ninjas, demon beasts roam the countryside, and most terrifyingly of all, randomly placed fishnets are the height of fashion. Seventeen years ago, the ninja village of Konohagakure was attacked by a nine-tailed demon fox. It was only saved thanks to the Hokage (the village’s strongest ninja) sealing the demon into a newborn baby. The boy, named Naruto, grew up with the adults who knew of the demon inside him looking down on him, and their behavior was emulated by the children who didn’t know. Being always alone, he became a loud troublemaker, and decided he would become Hokage so that everyone would recognize his existence. He hit a slight snag in this plan when he turned out to kind of suck at being a ninja, but he persevered, being sent out on several high-level missions, and winning out through pure determination (and perhaps a little main character plot protection).
Naruto has since grown up quite a bit, becoming Konohagakure's hero. He is still rather loud and obnoxious, but he is incredibly reliable, as he makes a point to never go back on his word. This gets him far over his head at times, but his sheer determination usually wins out, and will often convert enemies to his way of thinking. Despite this, he is still kind of a dork. He's naive, gullible, prone to loudly complain if a mission doesn’t seem as cool as he thinks it should be, and loves ramen. Above all, he's cheerful and friendly, if not that smart.
Note: Naruto is being taken from recent chapters, where he is on a secret mission to perform an ecological survey.
Sample Entry:
Hey! All you animals line up! I’m here on a secret S-Rank mission, so I need to see all of you! Just come over here and let me take a look- Ack, wait, stop! Don’t run away, I said line up! Dammit, get back here, all of you!
Man, I really thought that’d work. I guess I’ll have to do it the slow way instead. It’s boring to just try and grab them, though! This mission sucks... Why is it a secret S-rank mission, anyway? Wait, now that I think about it, why is this even a ninja mission at all? Are the animals super-dangerous or something? They can’t be ninja animals again, can they?! … No, wait, that can’t be it, they look totally harmless.
Okay, first up are these birds with the really colorful beaks... What are these things called again? Whatever, I’ll just write ‘em down as ‘birds’ and come back to it later once I remember. I just need to figure out the gender ratio, it says... At least it’s an easy mission, even if it’s a little gross. I don’t want to have to spend my time looking at a bird’s junk. Well, just gotta grab one, and... Wait, how do you tell if a bird is a boy or a girl? I said I didn’t want to have to look, but now that I’m looking, I don’t see anything! Isn’t there someone I can ask about this? Ahh, I’ll just come back to it later.
Then, next is cows, it says! That one’ll be easy, at least- Hey! Those aren’t cows, they’re robots! Do those even count as animals?! Anyway, robots don’t have boys or girls, so how am I supposed to figure it out? Do I need to find the ones who have nuts with their bolts? That’s just stupid, I’ll come back to it too.
What else is on this list, anyway? Zombies, gorillas, something called Marcy... Well, with a name like that, it’s gotta be a female, right? But I’ll have to check, too, to be sure. Then there’s ducks with a note about being fire hazards... and pirates? Pirates aren’t even animals! What kind of ninja would think pirates are low enough to be anim-
Ooooh, I get it!
