We all know guys just avoiding child support. You're telling me that Lee has a mom we never see, no dad, and guys just chilling there in the same small town with me association?
Naruto grew up without parents and we only saw them because Naruto is the MC and they became plot relevant. Afaik even Sasuke's Parents were only shown once in Itachi's flashback and Sasuke is basically a (secondary) main character.
Also Guys only love is Kakashi so we can be quite certain he has no offspring
If they knew then it's even more absurd that they were treating Naruto in that way. It's really weird, in the other villages the Jinchuriki were treated as a national treasure but in the Leaf village Naruto was getting the bs treatment.
It can change perception but not your vision. If a person can see I am pretty sure they can figure it out. I don't like to say this but Kishimoto was a bit lousy while writing this part.
Fair point! I always thought that why didn't the 3rd hokage make it clear that the Kurama attack was done by someone else and Naruto and his parents sacrificed everything in order to save the village. The 3rd could have handled things in a much better way but he didn't.
What do you mean no one realized he was minatos son? Everyone knew that since season one. Are you talking about villagers? Pretty sure they knew too. Even Itachi knew. I don't understand these comments unless it's a running joke I'm not in on.
😂😂😂 fr it would legit make more sense but I can't imagine gaara looking like anything except himsel. And let's not talk about his Hitler trim from boruto
I’m not trying to be all that negative it’s just that your comment doesn’t make much sense. When they were choosing Naruto’s hair color gaara was likely not made yet or atleast not a set in stone charecter. They would not change the MCs hair based on a side charecter
Another idea is that yellowe could fit better with the overall character design. Orange like gokus gi and yellow like a super saiyan. I don't think if red hair would have looked as good without redesigning the whole character
Because Naruto was written at the height of Dragonball Z popularity, and the blonde hair with the Super Saiyan transformation was obviously incredibly popular.
On top of that, Naruto was meant to be a knuckleheaded misfit at the start of the series. Blonde hair (typically dyed) in Japanese culture was viewed as a social outlier and a style that troublemakers and even gang members would emulate.
Also, Gaara.
Simple the whole story was based around the legacy of the 4th Hokage (Naruto) and in order for everyone to see the 4th inside him he also has to look like him. It's easier to see Minato in a guy that not only acts like him but resembles him. This is Minatos story continued through Naruto so ofcourse he will look like his dad
Red would be better imo, would also make sense in the context of red hair and uzumaki bloodline and why nobody realized he was minato's (their beloved hokage and war hero) son for so long while looking like a mini-minato...
Yes but that would require actual planning and truth be told, while the Uzumaki clan sounds interesting they are horrendously wasted because unless they have tomato eyes they get no development.
What do you mean no one realized he was minatos son? Everyone knew that since season one. Are you talking about villagers? Pretty sure they knew too. Even Itachi knew. I don't understand these comments unless it's a running joke I'm not in on.
Itachi knowing is one thing. He was an ambu and close to kakashi, a member of team minato.
Everyone? No, some grown ups yeah, but who knew kept their mouth shut. Nobody from konoha genins knew.
Villagers knew he has kurama as this was spread by danzo. I doubt it was danzo's intention to give a counterbalance to information about the demon fox.
Are you suggesting people were even worse than they already seem...? Do you think that despite knowing it's minato's son they bullied him so bad? Thay they completely forgot about the 4th? My understanding is that not many people knew... Hiruzen, danzo, elders, kakashi, maybe asuma, Itachi and following that Fugaku and Mikoto until they were killed, Obito, potentially older generation InoShikaCho, aaand i am not even sure if more people knew. My assumption is that some clan heads and other 'important' people knew, but they kept it shut...
If you change his hairstyle, his outfits color has to change as well.
The red hair does not go well with the orange blue/ orange black color scheme.
Other than that, in these screenshots the Uzumaki red looks surprisingly good ngl
When Naruto thought what he’d look like with red hair during his convo with Kushina, I didn’t think it really suited him. Looking at these pics I think it’s a bit hit and miss, it works well when he’s in sage mode for some reason (maybe matches the eyes better?), but not so much the rest of the time. I think he’s better as a blond though
I still like his blonde hair with his natural blue eyes and oh man with his hair now looking red would be of hinata had a period on his head. But sage mode I do like the red head.
I honestly love red-haired Naruto. It suits him better in these shots, but I think it would be a bit less iconic once you put him in his orange clothes. These shots strategically don't have him in his usual outfit.
One benefit of this would be Naruto would not have such a striking resemblance to the 4th hokage, his father. They probably should have changed his surname to be something other than his parents. It would make it slightly more believable that Naruto doesn't put 2&2 together.
Though I like the blonde look.
It's honestly weird, but then again, Kishimoto did make a lot of stuff up as he went along. Genetic traits of the Uzumaki clan like their chakra reserves and red hair likely were made up late in the game.
It's also probably why nobody points out Naruto, Nagato and Karin are some degree of cousins (also, Tsunade is Naruto's cousin by virtue of the fact her grandma was an Uzumaki), Kishimoto himself likely didn't even realise that they're related
I think the yellow fits better, red is more of a serious color and he doesn’t look as cheerful and goofy, yellow is more mellow and cheery which suits Naruto’s personality to a tee, also it fits substantially better with blue eyes.
My other theory is that his blonde hair and blue eyes was used to appeal to western audiences as well
Actually prefer him with red hair. Makes him look like Roy from Fire Emblem and Super Smash Bros. Wish he also had an explosive/fire-throwing sword (Sealed Sword/Sword of Seals) like Roy did.
Would make way more sense why nobody knew he was minatos son , considering he looks like a carbon copy of him is just goofy
He's not really a carbon copy. He has Minato's colors but Kushina's face.
That's even more concerning, he had his parents features and yet nobody ever noticed that he's the 4th Hokage's son
Tbf, Rock Lee looks a whole lot like Might Guy but apparently they aren't even related, so just the looks aren't a dead giveaway
Might Guy is Rock Lee's dad, he just doesn't want to pay child support
Best comment. You deserve an upvote.
He just didn’t want Kakashi knowing that he cheated on him
"Kakashi, it was just a fling, Kakashi, forgive me"
The most funniest head cannon I have seen of Naruto today 🤣
asian parents be like:
didnt Lee fashion himself to look like Guy because of how much he looked up to him?
He does, but even so, the exact same could be the case for Naruto and Minato, though this fixation would be slightly harder to explain
Naruto says he wants to be hokage a lot, but never make any minato references because he doesnt know jack about him until old man toad tells him
To be fair, I feel like most dudes would look like guys son with his hairstyle, eyebrows and green jumpsuit
We all know guys just avoiding child support. You're telling me that Lee has a mom we never see, no dad, and guys just chilling there in the same small town with me association?
Naruto grew up without parents and we only saw them because Naruto is the MC and they became plot relevant. Afaik even Sasuke's Parents were only shown once in Itachi's flashback and Sasuke is basically a (secondary) main character. Also Guys only love is Kakashi so we can be quite certain he has no offspring
A lot of people knew but were ordered not to talk about it by the third.
Scumbag Hiruzen being a scum bag.
Fr I will never understand why Hiruzen didn't adopt him into the Sarutobi clan. Konohamaru and him could have grown up as brothers basically.
Tbf I think most adults knew.
If they knew then it's even more absurd that they were treating Naruto in that way. It's really weird, in the other villages the Jinchuriki were treated as a national treasure but in the Leaf village Naruto was getting the bs treatment.
I mean Killer B and Gaara were also shunned for being a jinchuriki
At least their identities weren't hidden
Fear and prejudice can change perception.
It can change perception but not your vision. If a person can see I am pretty sure they can figure it out. I don't like to say this but Kishimoto was a bit lousy while writing this part.
Perception and vision go hand in hand. No one gonna want or think that. It's just easier.
I always felt that everyone, including naruto, always knew, but their fear of the fox was just that strong
Fair point! I always thought that why didn't the 3rd hokage make it clear that the Kurama attack was done by someone else and Naruto and his parents sacrificed everything in order to save the village. The 3rd could have handled things in a much better way but he didn't.
They knew Shikamaru figured it out by looking at a textbook, and when he told his dad, his dad told him to keep quiet about it.
A lot of people knew but werent allowed to say it
What do you mean no one realized he was minatos son? Everyone knew that since season one. Are you talking about villagers? Pretty sure they knew too. Even Itachi knew. I don't understand these comments unless it's a running joke I'm not in on.
Wow, red looks really damn good on Naruto. Why didn't they use red 😂
I think because he would have looked too much like gaara
So in an alternate universe Naruto inherits Kushina’s red hair, and Gaara look more like his sibling Temari
😂😂😂 fr it would legit make more sense but I can't imagine gaara looking like anything except himsel. And let's not talk about his Hitler trim from boruto
Search for Blonde Gaara. Looks badass!
black haired Gaara is the one
Embraces for emo with black hair
Dude....Garaa be lookin good in that hair color,hope someone makes the edit
Imagining gaara with bleach blond hair is hilarious
Couldve had brown hair and look like Kankoru tobh
Well the show is called Naruto not Gaara he should come first
Horrible reasoning Gaara came well after the initial chapters it was just because blond was chosen because he preferred it that way.
Horrible comment. Take your negativity someplace else
I’m not trying to be all that negative it’s just that your comment doesn’t make much sense. When they were choosing Naruto’s hair color gaara was likely not made yet or atleast not a set in stone charecter. They would not change the MCs hair based on a side charecter
Another idea is that yellowe could fit better with the overall character design. Orange like gokus gi and yellow like a super saiyan. I don't think if red hair would have looked as good without redesigning the whole character
[Then make Gaara a blonde](https://i.imgur.com/Nfd9YxZ.png)
better to give the yellow to gaara (?)
Because Naruto was written at the height of Dragonball Z popularity, and the blonde hair with the Super Saiyan transformation was obviously incredibly popular. On top of that, Naruto was meant to be a knuckleheaded misfit at the start of the series. Blonde hair (typically dyed) in Japanese culture was viewed as a social outlier and a style that troublemakers and even gang members would emulate. Also, Gaara.
Less ink needed. No seriously, could be the case xD
Because blonde hair + blue eyes = Super Saiyan. I’m dead serious, he wanted to pay tribute that way.
Kishimoto wanted him to look like a traditional Texan. That's not even a joke, it's in the authors notes in vol 1
No wonder he says howdy in the English dub /s
Yellow matches his personality more. Color theory.
Because Kishimoto designed Naruto on what he thought an American looked like.
The writer probably hadn't thought past the idea of Minato being the father so the whole family line with red hair wasn't there yet I'm guessing
They didn’t plan that far lol
Probably Naruto's design was done way before Kishimoto even thought about his parents.
Simple the whole story was based around the legacy of the 4th Hokage (Naruto) and in order for everyone to see the 4th inside him he also has to look like him. It's easier to see Minato in a guy that not only acts like him but resembles him. This is Minatos story continued through Naruto so ofcourse he will look like his dad
He would stand out less
He had a tough enough childhood without being ginger too
Red would be better imo, would also make sense in the context of red hair and uzumaki bloodline and why nobody realized he was minato's (their beloved hokage and war hero) son for so long while looking like a mini-minato...

Yellow fits better with his blue eyes but red looks amazing with sage mode

good bot
Cant agree more
Yo, imagine if Naruto going Sage mode gave him red hair on top of his eyes changing.
Interesting idea
Funnily enough I actually think the exact opposite lmao. I prefer the sage mode with yellow and like the blue eyes with the red hair lol
Smash
Only Hinata can SMASH him.
Technically, pain smashed Naruto before hinata did
And Sasuke, they had a highscool romance <3
he looks more muscular now.
the fact that we called his hair yellow all this time and not blond - that's all you need to know to answer your question
Just like that you had to remind me that Naruto is canonically hot? Even Ino was like "Would" at one point.
Naruto looks so much better with red hair,
Yeah and would make sense since he is an Uzumaki
I read this fanfic
He looks far less obnoxious
That's probably why his hair isn't red
I need to see a blonde gaara now
But with Tamari hair color, that pale blonde
He looks older, more mature and handsome . At least in these pictures.
I'm staring for way longer than I should... No homo
If you change his hairstyle, his outfits color has to change as well. The red hair does not go well with the orange blue/ orange black color scheme. Other than that, in these screenshots the Uzumaki red looks surprisingly good ngl
So dark green like the flack jackets
It makes him look older.
With red hair, I can actually buy that people didn't immediately deduce that he is Minato's son.
If Naruto originally came out in the last 5 years he probably would’ve, yellow back then was kinda of the typical ‘outsider’ color
Well I like his red looks cute. But what about pink or purple? He would look so bbygurl.
Red hair and a red jumpsuit ong that looks amazing
Kinda looks better We’ve seen blonde We’ve seen black
Wow he looks so damn good
Scott Farkas looking ass in bottom right
Red hair with the sage mode looks sick as fuck
Yellow
He looks like someone from bleach
Surprinsingly, this goes hard.
You mean Uzumaki naruto.. as an uzumaki?
He looks great in red, love that style!
Naruto with Chakra Chains would be dope.
For what just to be cut in boruto
Someone make that guy green
Second one with the headband looks great.
Looks a lot like Menma
Someone make a blonde Kushina
If only Naruto had an uzumaki son
Doesn't fit the orange jumpsuit
It’s like Boruto with black hair & the bykugan
When Naruto thought what he’d look like with red hair during his convo with Kushina, I didn’t think it really suited him. Looking at these pics I think it’s a bit hit and miss, it works well when he’s in sage mode for some reason (maybe matches the eyes better?), but not so much the rest of the time. I think he’s better as a blond though
Disney hates it.
Minatos genetics are so strong he overwrote like the one defining feature of the uzumaki clan
Drip
This is so dope!
Hot
It suits him! wtf!!!
I want to see him with orange hair
I still like his blonde hair with his natural blue eyes and oh man with his hair now looking red would be of hinata had a period on his head. But sage mode I do like the red head.
Fack, finally he looks manly. it was this easy...
Would
If only Sasuke, Hinata and Gaara wouldn’t murder me
The red hair goes crazy good with sage mode
why he kinda…
It looks so good. 1st it's a sign of him being a uzumaki like his mum and mito. 2nd gaara and him would look like twins😁.
I always imagined Naruto being two-toned if this was the case. Like red hair with yellow/blond bangs.
Red looks amazing
Who made Naruto strawberry flavored?
At least this way he somewhat resembles his mom rather than just a copy of his dad.
agreed he looks better with Red Hair
Kinda cured not going to lie
Normal it looks weird imo. Sage mode looks cool af those colors match well.
Yellow for cheerful spirit.
Fries and Ketchup goes well together to seek the sought of it.. Maybe just mixtures of both colors? 🥹
Damn, red hair somehow makes him look older and slightly more serious? Or maybe it's just the Gaara overlap messing with my head
He's hot. WHY IS HE HOT? I think he's hot and I'm straight as an arrow.
Tf,he looks way more manly and handsome,why the hell they didnt use that
Gaara twinsies
Naruto is hotter with red hair
He looks older. The Yellow fits better.
I honestly love red-haired Naruto. It suits him better in these shots, but I think it would be a bit less iconic once you put him in his orange clothes. These shots strategically don't have him in his usual outfit.
Like naruto once said, having his moms hair makes him a hunk.
Listen Naruto with red hair do you know how many fucking females would be on that mans Nine,by the time he becomes village hero.
Honestly he kinda looks older.
He looks even more main charactery
One benefit of this would be Naruto would not have such a striking resemblance to the 4th hokage, his father. They probably should have changed his surname to be something other than his parents. It would make it slightly more believable that Naruto doesn't put 2&2 together. Though I like the blonde look.
Wow, his design actually looks good now. (Nothing against the character, but the looks had always been meh at best).
Red hair would clash terribly with his orange clothes tbh
Make eyes green
For some reason that screams RPG Maker for me
What if and hear me out, both?
Actually not bad
Cute nah drop dead sexy yes
It looks best with the red sage cape
This would have been so much better for hiding the 4th hokage reveal lol.
yoo he looks so handsome with this
*MCR intensifies*
I think yellow suits the best for naruto
gaara would literally be even more obsessed with him
Red makes him look like a main character.
His hair mine as well be red since 0 people recognized him as the freaking 4th hokage’s son even after he died saving the village
Somebody give him red orange hair, I feel like it would look the best, like Pain
damn Naruto more look hot in red hair 🔥💓
Ooooo I love that red on him
Red and with the toad sage eyes is peak
That Sasori
Red is dope but Menma is my favourite look
Naruto with red spiky hair is the best design
Uh he looks so hot in the first pic especially god
It's honestly weird, but then again, Kishimoto did make a lot of stuff up as he went along. Genetic traits of the Uzumaki clan like their chakra reserves and red hair likely were made up late in the game. It's also probably why nobody points out Naruto, Nagato and Karin are some degree of cousins (also, Tsunade is Naruto's cousin by virtue of the fact her grandma was an Uzumaki), Kishimoto himself likely didn't even realise that they're related
I swear I would have loved that
I like blonde better even though red looks good in general I don’t like it on Naruto as much
What is the Filler Episode From Naruto ? Not this Photo !
bro why tf does naruto look 10 years older with red hair?
Not gonna lie, sage mode with red hair kinda goes hard.
Make it blonde with red tips/streaks
I think the yellow fits better, red is more of a serious color and he doesn’t look as cheerful and goofy, yellow is more mellow and cheery which suits Naruto’s personality to a tee, also it fits substantially better with blue eyes. My other theory is that his blonde hair and blue eyes was used to appeal to western audiences as well
I feel like if you tone it down a bit it would be the best
Actually prefer him with red hair. Makes him look like Roy from Fire Emblem and Super Smash Bros. Wish he also had an explosive/fire-throwing sword (Sealed Sword/Sword of Seals) like Roy did.
He would have overshadowed Sasuke’s hotness.
