Who is Naruto?

The theory of a Fortnite Naruto Shippuden crossover began earlier this year. But the legacy of Naruto dates back much further to the year 1999. Originally created by Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto is a young ninja who lives in a village yet this ninja has big dreams. His full name is Naruto Uzumaki and he is from the village of Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village).

Naruto gets ostracized from his village as a young kid due to being possessed to some degree with the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
