He eventually created Sakura Haruno, emphasizing "her energy and flirtatious spirit" as her primary characteristics. When creating the primary heroine, Kishimoto admitted, "I don't have a definite image of what a heroine should be". After reviewing different manga for ideas, he ultimately developed Sasuke Uchiha. To complement Naruto, Kishimoto worked on creating a rival that was a "cool genius", as he believed this was "the archetypal rival character".

Kishimoto cites Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball series as one of these influences, noting that Goku, the protagonist of Dragon Ball, was a key factor when creating Naruto Uzumaki due to his energetic and mischievous personality. When Masashi Kishimoto was originally creating the Naruto series, he looked to other shōnen manga for inspiration while still attempting to make his characters as unique as possible. The visual presentation of the characters was commented on by reviewers, with both praise and criticism given to Kishimoto's work in the manga and anime adaptations. The characters that Kishimoto developed, however, were praised for incorporating many of the better aspects of previous shōnen characters, although many publications lamented the perceived lack of growth beyond such stereotypes. He also used characters in other shōnen manga as references in his design of the characters, a decision that was criticized by several anime and manga publications. The eponymous character of the second series is Boruto Uzumaki, the son of Naruto and Hinata Hyuga who is assigned to Team Konohamaru also known as Team 7, which includes Sasuke and Sakura's daughter – Sarada Uchiha, Orochimaru's artificially created son – Mitsuki and the group's leader – Konohamaru, the Third Hokage's grandson whom Naruto befriended as a child.Īs he developed the series, Kishimoto created the three primary characters as a basis for the designs of the other three-person teams. He also encounters the series' antagonists, including Orochimaru, a former ninja of Konohagakure scheming to destroy his former home, as well as the elite ninja of the criminal organization Akatsuki who seek out jinchuriki like Gaara for the tailed beasts.

Over the course of the series, seeking out Sasuke when he ran away from the village, Naruto interacts with and befriends several fellow ninja in Konohagakure and other villages. During the early part of the series, Naruto is assigned to Team 7, in which he meets his rival Sasuke Uchiha, a taciturn and highly skilled "genius" of the Uchiha clan Sakura Haruno, who is infatuated with Sasuke and has Naruto's attention and Kakashi Hatake, the quiet and mysterious leader of the team. The eponymous character of the first series is Naruto Uzumaki, an energetic ninja who wishes to become Hokage, the leader of Konohagakure and holds a monster called the Nine Tails in his body. The series' storyline follows the adventures of a group of young ninja from the village of Konohagakure (Village Hidden in the Leaf). It is followed by the sequel series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations by Ukyō Kodachi, which continues where the epilogue of the first series left off. The storyline is divided into two parts, simply named Part I and Part II, with the latter taking place two-and-a-half years after the conclusion of Part I. The series takes place in a fictional universe where countries vie for power by employing ninja who can use superhuman abilities in combat. The Naruto ( Japanese: ナルト) manga and anime series features an extensive cast of characters created by Masashi Kishimoto. The answer may become obsolete after subsequent chapters.The major characters of the series as they appear in Part II with Kurama (The Nine-Tailed Fox) in the background. Note: This answer is based on events seen till Chapter 623. Which undoubtedly proves that he's much stronger compared to the way he was before his death. Minato does seem to have Kurama's Yin part inside of him. If the Shiki Fuujin sealed the target's soul into the summoner's soul, he would have to first recover Hiruzen's soul, and then the souls of Hashirama, Tobirama and his arms from Hiruzen's soul. This can be confirmed since Orochimaru first recovered the soul of his arms and then the four previous Kage at once. They are both sealed together, but independently, in the Shinigami's stomach.

Shiki Fuujin does not seal the target's soul into the summoner's soul. The Yin-component of Kurama's chakra, sealed by Minato, is still inside the Shinigami's stomach. Minato does not have Kurama's chakra inside him. The resurrected Minato is stronger than when he was alive, but that is due to the properties of Edo Tensei (unlimited chakra, near-unlimited stamina, and automatic regeneration of any damage taken).
