Naruto is 16 , he has spiky, bright yellow-blond hair and striking blue eyes. His most iconic trademark is the set of three thick, dark whisker marks on each of his cheeks, which he developed due to the influence of the Nine-Tails (Kurama) while in his mother's womb. He wears a bright orange jumpsuit with a blue upper shoulder and collar area, a white swirl with a tassel on the left thigh, and a red swirl on the back. He tops this off with blue shinobi sandals and the Leaf Village's blue-banded forehead protector. His outfit is a more form-fitting black and orange tracksuit that features black on the sleeves and shoulders instead of blue. He wears a longer, solid black bandana for his forehead protector. His signature "ninja way"—to never give up and to see the good in others—allows him to profoundly change the lives of everyone around him.
