The Characters of Naruto Manga

Uzumaki Naruto

In the one-shot, Naruto has a greater tie to the Kyuubi. Instead of containing the Kyuubi, Naruto himself is the son of the demon fox. When his father was killed by nine powerful shinobi, the sole surviving shinobi (the current village chief), took pity on Naruto and allowed him to be raised in the village. Like the Naruto we know, this Naruto was also looked down upon by others in the village. Due to this he developed a deep bitterness, with his pranks being more mean spirited and obnoxious.

Though his natural form was that of a small nine-tails fox, Naruto moved about in normal life in the form of a human boy. Like the current Naruto, this one would also change his form using the Henge technique. In the one-shot Naruto changes into a bat and an attractive young woman. Unfortunately Naruto was not skilled at the technique so one tail remains untransformed whenever he changes his look.

Village Chief

The current village chief was one of the nine powerful shinobi gathered to fight the demon fox that was attacking the village. All his comrades died but he survived to go on to run the village. He took pity on Naruto and directs him to find a real friend since Naruto only seems to make enemies.

Kuroda

After his best friend Saburo painted Symbol and committed suicide, Kuroda became a shadow of the great artist he once was. He began to drink heavily and become distrusting of those around him.

Takano Takashi

Takano Takashi is the assistant of Kuroda. While training to become an artist, he helps Kuroda repair Symbol.

Sergeant Matsushima

Sergeant Matsushima was the police administrator responsible for the transportion and protection of the valuable Symbol painting after Kuroda finished repairing it.

Unnamed Police Officer

This unnamed village policeman was responsible for helping protect Symbol while it was in Kuroda's possession.
