Naruto Uzumaki is a fictional character from the anime/novel Naruto. He is a ninja from the village of Konoha and he is a hero for many reasons. A boy who saved the village by having the demon fox sealed in his body. He was shunned by the other people in his village and was basically a loser, a ninja born without talent. Naruto born without any talent had to work hard to gain strength. He later rises up the ranks becoming more powerful, agile, and cunning. He owns enemies with his rasengan and other moves like the ability to summon a huge frog that can use swords. His determination on saving his old friend and rival Sasuke makes him a hero.
Naruto’s back-story is a mystery. He doesn’t even know his parents and he didn’t even know the demon fox was sealed in him. He was a failure in his class in becoming a ninja, born without talent. His dream of becoming the hokage has driven him to achieve great things. He starts to grow and mature into a stronger person reaching new insight of the affairs going on and gains a stronger belief of the big things going on and what is right and wrong in his point of view. He struggles through events out of his reach, although his actions had a huge impact on the outcome. As terrible things happen in his village, he is now more depended on.
Naruto started out being the weakest compared to the other ninjas. Later he demonstrates his courage in their first mission when he fights against Haku to avenge Sasuke after he supposedly died. When at the chunin exam Naruto demonstrates being a hero, when Sasuke was being attacked by Orochimaru he went in risking his life for his group members, and he also stopped Sasuke when going into Orochimarus demands. Naruto had saved the village from the conspiracy with Orochimaru and the sand village by stopping Gaara.
Naruto really demonstrates being a hero when trying to retrieve Sasuke. When Sasuke left to Orochimaru he went in to try to get him back. Setting up a mission to get him he ultimately ends up fighting his old friend to stop him. Naruto performs with great strength and agility, but he ultimately fails when Sasuke used the curse mark for him to gain the advantage. Naruto again meets up with Sasuke two years later, trying to save him from himself he soon finds out that Sasuke is now stronger and he can’t beat him at the level he is in. He soon trains with Kakashi to form a new technique fusing wind manipultion with the rasengan for a hope to have a technique that can best Sasuke.
Naruto had risked his life to save his friend going through difficult circumstances and hardships. His perseverance and good actions achieved great things for the people he fought for and the village of Konoha. His perspective on the affairs going on had shaped his actions for the greater cause. His determination, courage, and will power to save Sasuke and fighting to stop Orochimaru makes him a hero in my point of view.
