Naruto: 4th Hokage’s Son?
Naruto Shippuuden paved the way for a lot theories and rumors about the central character - Naruto. What is the real relationship between the 4th Hokage and Naruto? There are people saying that Naruto is actually the reborn 4th Hokage, because there was no trace of him after he sealed the Kyubi. On the other hand, we have people who are saying that there is no relationship, and that the 4th Hokage is now the leader of the Akatsuki. Lastly, we have people saying that… *Darth Vader Voice On* the 4th Hokage is actually the father of Naruto (Noooooo!~). Personally, I believe that there is a relationship between the two. It can go either way, with Naruto being the 4th Hokage or Naruto being the son of the 4th Hokage.

Let’s say though that it was indeed a Father-Son relationship, then who’s the mother? Find out after the jump.

OMFG. Makes sense eh? Thanks to Rain Chelmstroke for this idea, Lol.

So far in my search from the internet… there is no defined truth that the 4th is the father. The craps I see in the internet are sometimes misleading… I mean they remake comics and narotu story line just to satisfy their theory… please be very very careful because that all you read is true…

Hindi po siya spoilers, hehe. Crazy ideas lang. ^^
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:35 pm
one thing for sure tho, the akatsuki leader is a rain ninja named pein and is not the 4th hokage as everyone thought of.
you can see him currently in the manga revealed.
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:38 pm
Pein Leader of akatsuki =P
but the true leader is Tobi ( Uchiha Obito ) =P power of uchiha madara =P
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:57 pm
^even that is unconfirmed..
well it may be obito… but it aint Madara… he just said that he has the same powers as Madara
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:29 pm
hmm. palagay ko my papel pa c 4th sa naruto
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:03 pm
diba sabi namatay daw mother ni naturo nung pagpanganak kay naruto
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:24 pm
crazy indeed /@_@
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:25 pm
sa totoo walang sinabi yun author tungkol sa kanilang dalawa kasi mawawala yun excitement ng pagbabasa ng manga. nice theory
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:26 pm
Super Spoiler: Naruto is Yondaime the 4th Hokage he perfected the SELF seal jutsu “the 3rd used in Orochimaru” Note: you can only use the seal using YOUR OWN BODY. because he perfected it the consequence is not death but being reborn or transforming into a child without memories. Konoha elders were alarmed by what happened the child have the nine tailed fox inside him and his face have somewhat like whiskers. The seal is like spiral(english word for Uzumaki his last name). Then the elders including Jiraiya agreed to tell the people that the 4th died but actually become a baby to avoid chaos and attack to Konoha. Instead of choosing the 5th Hokage the 3rd Hokage(Sarutobi) retained the position of Hokage because the 4th is still alive and they are waiting if ever he will remember his past to be the Hokage again. Yondaime studied Rasengan for 3 years and Naruto learned it faster because he felt in him he know this technique also naruto read the scroll of 4th Hokage and immediately learned the Kage Bushin Technique which is a high level technique and can’t be learned by one day but he did because of his familiarity to the skill. Long story and many explaination to mention…
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:33 pm
yah also about the Uchiha Itachi Theory you told me it’s really amazing makes perfect sense…
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:42 pm
@Lord Ken: That’s a pretty good theory man. Really solid if you ask me.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:49 pm
waw ayus yun ah pero may tanong naman ako sayo bakit pinilit harangin nung sandaime yun ikatlong kabaon noong naglaban sila ni orchimaru kung buhay pa yun yondaime?
August 22nd, 2007 at 9:46 pm
byahe!…. there’s no way naruto is the 4th hokage!!!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 10:01 pm
Lord Ken if your theory was correct, may tanong lang ako. Remember ung laban ni 3rd and Orochimaru? Ngsummon c orochimaru ng 3 coffins(supposedly former Hokages) but 3rd succesfull discharge 1 coffin. So natira 2 coffins. Lumabas ung 1st and 2nd Hokage. If ever inde nadischarge ni 3rd ung isa coffin, kung c naruto nga ay c 4th, cno ung laman nung 3rd coffin? Lolo ni orochimaru? wakokoko
August 22nd, 2007 at 10:05 pm
C moonlight flower nanay ni naruto sineal ni daddy 4th ung pet nilang ninetail s baby nila. Nyahehehe. Ala lang RO-Naruto connection. Eheheh
August 22nd, 2007 at 10:36 pm
Alkeizer, naisip ko rin yan e.. hmm.. pero hindi naman din ibig sabihin na hokage yung laman ng first 2 coffins ay hokage narin yung laman ng 3rd coffin.. di naman nabanggit diba?
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:07 pm
basta manuod na lng kau naruto shipuuden para masagot mga tanung nyo hahahaha….
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:21 pm
@Lord Ken nice theory but like kramer said we just have to wait what the other has to write about.. Also, Rasengan wasnt studied by the 4th, he created it.. Sarutobi came out of retirement becoz Jiraya turned down to become the 5th & Tsunade was wandering while Orochimaru wasnt a candidate.. @valfogg that theory was before the manga reviled who their leader i.. @mav~mia isnt Obito dead?If he isnt dead then he should have half paralyzed & have 1 eye (the other eye is with Kakashi)
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:23 pm
@Lord Ken
san mo nakuha info na yan??
post ka nmn ng source
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:59 pm
@derek… may mali dun sa sinabi mo about Sarutobi
Sarutobi first chose Orochimaru to succeed him. However with each passing day he grew disappointed in him. So he appointed the Yellow Flash of Konoha instead… The one we know as the 4th Hokage. He retired after that. Sarutobi came out of retirement after the 4th’s death. And when he himself died, Jiraiya was the initial choice by the elder council. Having turned that offer down, he instead offered the council to find Tsunade to become the 5th.
About Obito.. We’ll know more once we see more. Like I said, it MAY be Obito. For sure though it isn’t Uchiha Madara.
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:31 am
i think TOBI and Uchiha Madara were only one coz of wearing a mask?
August 23rd, 2007 at 3:30 am
hehehe theories again… ok ganito na lang… pano kung sabihin ng author si naruto ay si superman… di namali lahat theory nyo hahaha… best we stick on what we know sa original story line and not base our conclusion sa nakikita sa internet… my PERSONAL guess is ang leader ng akatsuki is not the 4th… might be a relative of something… might even be ralated to naruto but is not the same person as the 4th…
August 23rd, 2007 at 6:15 am
@mav~mia yea Orochimaru was his 1st choice, we all know that he was his favorite but think the council will approve who will be the next but with recommendation from previous one if alive, not sure though.. Anyways, Uchiha Madara is alive?well he was suppose a son of a “god” but I doubt he is alive..
August 23rd, 2007 at 9:05 am
@Aaron yung 3rd coffin he “tried” to summon the 4th but failed because Sarutobi stopped him and like others pgkakaalam din ni Orochimaru that the 4th is dead so he tried to summon the 4th hindi sure if si 4th nga lalabas dun kung ncomplete yung jutsu or wala lng that is the twist of the story to make it more rich @zee_ola05 so how can you explain that he does not have a clan and a mother if he’s not just turned into a child? yung hint sinasabi na lagi ni Sasuke kay Naruto eh wla daw magulang si Naruto and hindi nya nranasan mgkaroon ng real parents so hindi nya naiintindihan nraramdaman ni Sasuke nung mamatay magulang nya kaya cya mghihiganti. Konoha Village is “Clan Based” even si Kakashi may clan yan his father is White Fang of Konoha si Sakura may clan si Naruto anong clan sya? hindi cya curious kng cno mother and father nya kc even pictures nila wla cya i dnt want to post Spoiler Manga parts kc mdmi mgglit ^_^
August 23rd, 2007 at 9:38 am
@DerekGruesome yah sorry i have written it incorrectly that the 4th “studied” Rasengan wrong use of word hehe this what i really meant “The Rasengan is an A-ranked ultra-high-level technique that took the Fourth Hokage three years to perfect” hehe BTW Kakashi can also perform Rasengan ^_^ @mav~mia it’s not Obito kc yung isang mata nya nwasak because nadaganan so yung isang mata nya na ok pa binigay nlng kay Kakashi and your right it’s not Uchiha Madara BUT not only Orochimaru can perform the forbidden Jutsu soul transfer so MAYBE(my own theory pls just ignore) Uchiha Madara use soul transfer to the leader of Akatsuki’s body and they told me that the real leader of Akatsuki have split personalities and somewhat unstable
August 23rd, 2007 at 10:33 am
pero sa totoo lang hindi ka rin sure dyan kasi hula mo lang yan kahit si kishimoto hindi nya pa alam kung paano ilalagay sa storya yun kaliwanagan kay naruto pero alam nya kung ano yun totoo. ganyan kasi yun mga writer eh
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:22 am
Notice the writters… kasi nag oobserver din yan sa internet… kung ano ang mga theories ng fans babaliktarin nila at lilituhin… nangyayari yan palagi sa DC at X-men comics…
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:30 am
ganda nman ng story
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:36 am
A son always exceed his father. Just like apprentice always exceeds his master. Naruto exceeds his father by masterting rasengan earlier and even more powerful because he got his talent from his father plus the power of the Kyuubi. Remember Kakashi told him that Naruto has 100x(I think) more stamina than him because Kakashi can see the Kyuubi power is flowing through him. That is why Naruto can learn techniques faster than anyone.
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:20 pm
@Alkeizer I dont think having the Kyuubi can increase learning a technique its just that he has somewhat unlimited chakra, thats the edge.. @Lord Ken think Sasuke meant that he didnt know or felt wat its like to have a family love, Sasuske didnt know Naruto’s past since it was forbidden. And it isnt that clan based also but like in the real world, what your father usually do is what you tend to do.. We even still dont know what clan the Legendary Sannin belongs to hehe.. Saya ng discussion hehe
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:21 pm
having almost a unlimited amount of chakra has it’s advantage… but learning and physical stamina has nothing to do with chakra… it does affect the jutsu but not the body… remember the jutsu 101… Body and Soul… Skill and Chakra equals jutsu… plese correct me if i’m worng. i’m open for correction
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:22 pm
naunahan mo ako derek ah
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:39 pm
If you read the mangga about naruto’s training with kakashi when he is trying to learn the wind rasengan(I forgot the name), his stamina(increase by the his kyuubi power) really helps a lot. Kakashi told him without his stamina, he will learn that in years. But because of his stamina, he just kagebushin all the way and learned it with just a few days. So, to put it simply, his stamina really plays a great role in learning new techniques much early than expected. He can also train more hours before resting than others because of it.
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:42 pm
I believe the kyuubi power does not just increase naruto’s chakra but also increased his stamina. Kakashi told him that.
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:46 pm
stamina can develop faster if you have an unlimited amount of chakra… we know naturo is a persistent subborn boy… if we deviate from the original knowledge on how a jutsu is performed… everything in the story line will crumble…
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:49 pm
Go back to the original training of the team kakashi before they battle the demon myst on the bridge… it is always expain and it is always misinterpreted.
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:55 pm
It is true however that naturo has exceeded kakashi’s stamina… one reason it he use to much chakra to perform a jutsu… during the early years it was mentioned that Sakura was the best user of chakra… she uses only a little amount to perform a jutsu unlike Sasuke and Naruto… given the fact that they do perform the same jutsu would only mean Naturo’s body is more build and he have more stamina than Sakura and Sasuke.
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:58 pm
Well i just remembered that kakashi told him that naruto’s chakra is 100x than him not stamina. But, in naruto, their chakra is their source of stamina. If their chakra is depleted they will be exhausted. Since naruto has unlimited chakra becuase of the kyuubi, he can just train and train and train. He can learn faster than others.
August 23rd, 2007 at 1:02 pm
Physical Stamina is (Body)… Spiritual Stamina means (Saving chakra)… clearly Naturo does not know how to save Spiritual Stamina because as we said it is almost unlimited… So i tough we were talking about the physical stamina.
August 23rd, 2007 at 1:11 pm
Im just proving that because of the Kyuubi in his body and tha talent that he got from the 4th that naruto can learn techniques faster just like the rasengan. Also, the theory that the 4th is naruto’s dad is much acceptable than naruto “is” the 4th. To tell that naruto learned rasengan fast because “he” is the 4th and he is familiar with it already, I say, that would be a bad script writing on the part of the author.
August 23rd, 2007 at 1:40 pm
i agree… there was a spoiler i read… the 4th was the brother of naruto… awww
August 23rd, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Interesting points both of you got there but Naruto being the brother of the 4th is kinda hard for me to accept, dont know why lol.. @Alkeizer Naruto has the most stamina(supply of chakra) & if he is going to use the Kyuubi chakra, he still neds to activate or draw out its power dats why in the anime, the Kyuubi chakra is color crimson while Naruto is color blue to distinguish the 2.. Also, trying to save Sasuke is wat driving Naruto to be able to learn faster or trying to speed things up, forgot if it was already shown in series but its been told in the manga already @kramer mukhang mas mabilis lng kamay ko at pagpress ng submit k sayo lol

@Derek back to naturo… may hanging question kasi si Wauks… if the 4th is the father, who is the mother? … We’ll for me, it does not matter… I mean the story line was about how naturo got he’s power (curse) … which is supposedly because of his father… after nun training na nya at buhay ng pagiging shinobi ang center ng story…

pinakita rin sa youtube yung mother ni naruto ewan ko kung fake yun….
August 24th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
His “mother” isnt shown in the manga yet so most likely it was a fake… @kramer if ever he has a “mother” it would probably be shown after they reveal who his father is, not quite sure about this but Japanese are more male oriented people & they dont really put women more important than males…
August 24th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
I am wondering when will Naruto learn the new or evolve form of resengan… di ba ang pag ka sabi sa kanya basic lang din ang natutunan ng 4th… he perfected the basic pero maraming variations how to execute it… and/or may be to change it to a much more powerful jutsu… has any one seen this variation… pa post naman URL… ty
August 24th, 2007 at 8:18 pm
ei hindi mo ba nabasa sa manga tinuruan sya ni kakashi mag nature manipulation at shape manipulation kaya naging shuriken rasengan ….
August 24th, 2007 at 8:24 pm
Ang may nanay at tatay lang ata sa Naruto (napinakita) ay sina Itachi at Sasuke. /heh
August 24th, 2007 at 8:59 pm
si gaara rin ah…
August 24th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
@He already perfected it and used it against one of the Ataksuki, chapter 339-340 & its called Fuuton: Rasen-Shuriken (it isnt like a shuriken that is thrown, Naruto just thought it sounds cool ROFL) http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/340/ But maybe the 4th didnt have the time to perfect it since it was time of war & there was the Kyuubi problem after that, if it was peaceful maybe it wud be anothe story
August 25th, 2007 at 9:17 am
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD9iM-zc7dQ check this vid take note ginaya ni Kakashi yung porma(pananamit ni the 4th talagang copy ninja) refer to the 4th’s clothing may trademark si Yondaime na “bandana or belt” in his right leg na ginaya ni Kakashi BUT di nyo ba napapansin yung right leg ni Naruto meron din? and favorite din nya mglagay ng bandana dun hmm? so what can you say hehe
August 25th, 2007 at 9:24 am
@Kramer take note the skill Sandaime used to Orochimaru is “SELF Seal Jutsu” so how can Yondaime be the father of Naruto… so he condemned his own child by performing the “self” skill jutsu to Naruto? you can only use the skill to yourself it’s the sacrifice of the said jutsu when you use the skill the soul of the target will be sealed to your body (refer to Sandaime’s incident)
August 25th, 2007 at 9:46 am
di ba sa ending theme ng naruto na michi may suot si naruto ng katulad ng kay yondaime… baka nga tatay nya yun dhil bkit p nila sinama yung mga drawing na yun kung wala lang….may pinagtutularan at may gustong ipahiwatig……..
August 25th, 2007 at 1:08 pm
@all
nireveal n ung pangalan ng nanay at tatay ni naruto….sa latest manga nyo makikita, napagusapan ni jiraiya at tsunade si Namikaze Minato(Yondaime) at si Uzumaki Kushina..
August 25th, 2007 at 6:52 pm
i see someone revealed the naruto family details before i did. anyway, to add to it, naruto’s mom is a tomboyish red-head and, believe it or not, has practically the same ninjutsu as naruto. now that i think about it, naruto’s mom and dad kinda reminds me of naruto and sakura, at least to some degree.
August 25th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
ahihihi lumabas agad yun katotohanan
August 25th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
lintek tong si jiraiya alam nya pla ngayon nya lang sinabi sakin
August 29th, 2007 at 6:29 am
naruto’s mother is uzumaki kushina, says chapter 367.
October 31st, 2007 at 9:56 pm
hey…the 4th hokage is naruto’s father…and her mom is uzumaki kushina…it is true! if you read the manga of naruto, tsunade and jiraiya talked about it and gave the fact about it in ep 367…hehe you’ll see their conversation there..it’s true…you’ll see!
December 28th, 2007 at 10:21 pm

Naruto and Yondaime ( 4th hokage ) have a very important relationship they are actually father and son
the real name of the 4th Hokage is Namikaze Minato.
And name of Naruto’s mother is Uzumaki Kushina .
Thus Naruto and the 4th Hokage are father and son.
May 27th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Naruto’s mother ( Uzumaki Kushina ) and the 4th hokage which is the father of Naruto had been very close to each other years before the appearing of the chaotic giant fox inside of Naruto’s body ( Jinchuriki )
they had an appear that gave birth to their son ( Naruto ) .
Naruto’s mother came from the former land of whirlpool
June 17th, 2008 at 5:25 am
according to http://www.leafninja.com kushina uzumaki is the mother of naruto and a former ninja of the land of whirlpool and the fourth hokage minaio namikaze is his father
June 17th, 2008 at 5:26 am
i mean minato not minaio
November 12th, 2008 at 10:31 am
naruto is the son of the 4th hokage if you go to leafninja and the connections it will connect naruto as son of the hokage. the mother is kushina. if you read her bio it will say that she was talkitave and had a great skill in ninjustu that was passed on to naruto . its all at http://www.leafninja.com/ so go dummies!!!!!!!!!!!!
