Because he is from a long thought dead race called Saiyans. If he sees a full moon he turns into a giant beast and terrorizes the village. He was supposed to conquer the planet but luckily he bumped his head and became retarded. His rival Sasuke, the Prince of all Ninja, is initially a villain but then they become friends.

Dammit. I had some free time and look at what I wasted it on! Here's Naruto Uzumaki's backstory. Before we begin, a history on Uzumaki. There's been mention of the five major ninja nations, but there were also a bunch of minor nations that developed, too. Hidden Whirlpool was one of the strongest minor nations, led by the Uzumaki, powerful shinobi famed and feared for their incredible sealing knowledge and bloodline, which gives them more HP and MP and recovers both faster, extends the longevity of the ninja who live to old age, and sometimes lets them manifest magic chains that are ideally suited to holding and attacking demons (Naruto doesn't ever get the latter). Around the third ninja war, some of the other ninja nations (Mist and Rock, I think) get so paranoid and terrified of their sealing power they gang up and destroy Hidden Whirlpool, leaving only a few scattered survivors. The only known Uzumaki remaining are Naruto, Pein (the leader of Akatsuki, gonna kill Naruto) and Karin (the redhead researcher girl Sasuke takes with him when he kills Orochimaru). And Narumom. Narumom was a demon vessel for the Nine Tailed Demon Fox, like her son, but had the magic chains. She also didn't have whiskers, because gently caress consistency. And Narudad is the Fourth Ninja President. Naruto himself only found out about any of this in the last month or so before the game starts. So it all starts off with plot contrivance. Narumom's Nine Tails seal is somehow weakened by childbirth, so Narudad and a bunch of elite ninja are on hand when Naruto is born. Most of them die when Tobi joins them, and somehow lets the Nine Tails out of Narumom without killing her and then mind controls it to flatten the Hidden Leaf. Narudad sacrifices himself to seal the Nine Tails in his son, knowing his Uzumaki heritage makes him a superior demon vessel and not trusting anybody to contain the demon's power except his own blood. The game doesn't show it, but Narumom charges right the gently caress out of the delivery room and goes to fight the Nine Tails right along Narudad, and she kills herself holding it in place with magic chains so Narudad can do the deed. The Third Ninja President gets pulled out of retirement to lead now that his successor is dead, and immediately fucks everything up by trying to reassure the terrified people of Hidden Leaf that they're safe now by revealing that the Nine Tails is sealed in Naruto, no need to panic any more! Except that now that they aren't in danger, Hidden Leaf is totally willing to blame all the destruction and death the Nine Tails caused on Naruto. The only bright spot is that it's against the law - punishable by death - to reveal the identity of a demon vessel, so only the adults know. The kids just get warned to stay away from him. Naruto grows up an orphan. By the time the series starts, he's living on his own and has been for a while. He probably either left or was kicked out of the orphanage. The civilians and a lot of the ninja hate him, but Naruto has the Third's ear so they mostly just limit themselves to ignoring him and yelling at him when he draws attention to himself. The only people who treat him like a person are the Third and a father/daughter duo who run a ramen stand, which leads to his obsession with ramen. Naruto grows up so desperate for attention that he'll do anything to get it, including lots of yelling, practical jokes, dressing in bright colors, and being annoying as gently caress. He really, really wants to be famous and popular and strong, so his dream is to be Ninja President. He's terrible at ninja schoolwork and frequently skips class, and can't do the simplest ninja spells because his bloodline and demon give him so much magic that it's impossible for him to use the small amount of MP to cast them without loving up. After he fails the ninja graduation exam for the third time, one of his ninja teachers approaches him and tells him about an alternate exam, stealing a forbidden scroll of ninja magic from the Third Ninja President himself. He succeeds through one of his joke spells, which turns him into a sexy, older girl version of himself. Naruto reads the scroll while waiting for his instructor to show up and pass him, and learns the shadow clone technique. It lets him create physical, solid clones that can perform any technique he knows, they can act autonomously, and when they dispel, anything they learned is transferred to Naruto's memory (Naruto doesn't figure out the latter for years). The only downside is that it takes so much magic it'll probably kill you if you don't have enough MP. Naruto has the MP. He spams shadow clones in every fight he's in. The instructor shows up and tries to kill Naruto. He explains that he's betraying Hidden Leaf, he's taking the forbidden scroll to an enemy nation for a cushy high-ranking position, and he tells Naruto that he's the Nine Tails, which is the first he's heard of the whole thing. He's saved by another ninja teacher, who tells Naruto that he's only the prison of the demon, not the demon itself, apologizes for treating Naruto poorly, and lets Naruto graduate to be a ninja. Naruto spends most of his early ninja career learning poo poo he should've learned in ninja school alongside the audience. Not too much happens until the ninja promotion exams, where he meets Jiraiya, a famous, powerful, and perverse Leaf ninja who taught Narudad. Naruto is named after a character in Jiraiya's first novel, the only non-pornographic one. Naruto convinces Jiraiya to train him by using his old sexy girl technique, and learns how to summon toads and the rasengan, Narudad's one power move that doesn't involve seals. He also meets the Nine Tails for the first time after Jiraiya throws him off a cliff. The Demon Fox is bitter as gently caress, especially since Narudad changed the seal so it steals the demon's magic and gives it to Naruto, and also locked him down much tighter - it's never going to get the freedom it wants. Then Sasuke leaves and Naruto gets sent out to travel alongside Jiraiya for three years. They're apparently training, but have very little to show for it at the end. Once that's over, Akatsuki steps up their demon vessel kidnapping plans, and there are a lot of fights killing them off. I'm pretty sure that when the game starts, Naruto just recently drove off a major Akatsuki attack on Hidden Leaf and now has a great reputation. Ah, I almost forgot! Naruto's greatest attack is talking his opponent out of fighting. His lovely history means he can sympathize with a lot of bitter and angry people, then he uses the new connection he forged to force optimism down the enemy's throat and makes them his friend. TL;DR Everyone hates Naruto, who responds by trying to get everyone to like him even harder.

Speaking of nerd poo poo and lore, here's a brief history of the Leaf Ninja Presidents: The First founded Hidden Leaf Village, was a believer in peace and cooperation (welp) and tried to work together with Madara Uchiha before Madara went and the two pretty much killed each other in a big climactic showdown somewhere. Had the secret ninja wizard power of being able to use Wood Element, which is also good at suppressing the power of demons/tailed beasts. The Second was the First's younger brother. Racist as gently caress against the Uchiha, indirectly because of that caused the whole Uchiha rebellion shitstorm in the first place. Specialized in darkness element ninja magic, came up with a special technique that resurrects dead people into infinite-mp zombies slaved to the revivers commands. Not the most cheerful of fellows. Died saving some students from an ambush. The Third taught some pretty awesome ninjas, knew a ridiculous amount of ninja magic spells, was the first Ninja President to live to retirement. Was basically the Headmaster of Ninja University as well as being Ninja President. Had a special summonned monster buddy of The Monkey King, who himself had the special power of turning into Goku's Power Pole (as seen in the fight vs the 9-tails). Unretired after the Fourth died, fought his former student Orochimaru during his invasion (covered in one of dancingbears' backstory blurbs) and died in the fight. A testament to his badassery: He died using a Costs-Your-Life-Holy-poo poo-Powerful sealing spell to kill the resurrected zombies of the First/Second Ninja Presidents (revived by Orochimaru using the Second's necromancy spell), and sealed Orochimaru's arms (basically a cross between permanent arm paralysis and a Silence spell since almost every ninja magic spell needs the caster to make funny signs with their hands). He basically almost won a 3v1 fight, where all four participants were Ninja President-strength. The Fourth, Narudad, was a student of Jiraiya (The Frog Hermit, one of the Three Powerful Ninjas trained directly by the Third Ninja President), learned to summon frogs from him, specialized in hyper speed/teleportation gimmicks/Zwee Fighting. Died in the giant fox attack. He's been covered fairly extensively by now. The Fifth, Tsunade, is the granddaughter of the First Ninja President. She is the third of the Three Awesome Ninjas, along with Jiraiya and Orochimaru. She drinks a lot, has a crippling gambling issue, and owns a tiny pet pig, so basically a ninja celebrity. Her specialty is healing magic and is probably the #1 Ninja White Mage in existance. She also knows how to turn her MP into physical damage and therefore is ungodly strong, once having nearly killed a man by flicking him with her finger. She can also summon pieces of The Omnislug to either fight or use as channels for her healing spells. Has an ultimate technique where she gains infinite energy/regeneration for awhile by tapping into a secret energy battery tattoo. Fell into a coma after using her Infinite Energy Battery + Healing Magic + Omnislug Spell Channeling to heal the entire goddamn village before/during/after what was essentially a Ninja Magic Nuke leveling the entire place. During her coma, she got replaced by The Sixth, Danzo. Old guy half wrapped in bandages, I think he showed up during an early cutscene this past video. Currently the Ninja President. Used to run the Ninja Secret Police/Black Ops/Special Ops squad, still kinda has a platoon of them floating around as a pet project. Was the main mover behind the Uchiha Clan Massacre. Gets poo poo done, kind of a hardass, not really very popular. Bit of a jerk. Has a very interesting spellset that I'm not going to spoil. e: What the hell, more President Facts The Sand Village Ninja President, Gaara, was the man possessed by the One Tail Demon Raccoondog. Used to be a psychopathic jerk, partially because from ostracization (His father, the previous Sand President, didn't really like him), partially because Rocky Raccoon made him an insomniac which kinda eroded his sanity. Naruto friendship'd him by beating him up, his dad got killed by Orochimaru, and he became the new Sand Ninja President. Has the power to control sand, lives in a desert, don't gently caress with him. Has a sister who uses a giant fan to do wind magic, and a brother who knows Ninja Puppetry Kung Fu. Akatsuki killed him and took his spirit kaiju but he got better. (His grandma lost the #1 Ninja White Mage position to Tsunade, also originated Ninja Puppetry Kung Fu, pretty cool lady. She killed herself to cast Life 3 on Gaara when he died) The Mist Village Ninja President, some lady. Has the secret ninja spells of breathing acid and lava. One of the Magic Sword Brigade is her bodyguard. That's about it. The Earth Village Ninja President is the little gnome fellow who uses the secret power of Bullshit Physics to fly around and nuke holes in stuff. Has a bad back. The Cloud Village Ninja President, Killa A, uses lightning magic to move really fast. Pro wrestler ninja wizard. Takes no poo poo from anyone. Little brother has the 8 Tailed Oxtopus. Can throw down easily with said brother despite his hella demonpower. Would rather jump through windows/walls than take a door. Beat Tsunade in an arm wrestling contest. Orochimaru, aka Ninja Michael Jackson, made his own small Sound Village for awhile and was the Ninja President of it but then he got owned by the Third.

More testament to the Third's badassery: he became ninja president during the first ninja war, and led Hidden Leaf to victory. Then he did the same for the next war. And the next. Third loving dominates the entire ninja world with three clear and obvious victories in wars between ninja wizard soldiers. Then he retires, and I'm pretty sure he's the only ninja president in the known canon who does. Then he unretires so he can keep the whole thing running for another decade before he falls in an epic battle. Also, he's one of the few ninja who trained so hard they can use all five of the different elemental magics. He's so badass that even the ninja who loathe him give him the nickname "The God of Ninja".

RotationSurgeon posted:Did I find the hentai yet? In Ninja Wizardry, if you want to cast a summon, you gotta find a magic ninja animal and have them agree to be summoned. Some people have lesser summons (Kakashi has a small pack of , Sasuke found a giant bird somewhere, Third President found the Monkey King, Sand President's sister can summon a wind weasel, a few people can summon a demonic version of the Rashomon Gate for some inexplicable reason), but there's also the Three Big Summonable Families that the Three Awesome Ninjas(and their students) all had. Orochimaru and Sasuke have the Snake Family. Jiraiya(Who actually writes hentai), the Fourth Ninja President, and Naruto all have access to the Frog Family. Tsunade and Sakura have The Omnislug. When the others summon various sized animals, they're all separate beings; the dog-sized frog is a unique being from the car sized frog is separate from the house-sized frog. All summoned slugs are just pieces of The Omnislug. Archenteron fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Aug 19, 2014 |
