When Naruto was first introduced at the very beginning of the Naruto series, before Shippuden, he was 12 years old. At the beginning of Shippuden, he was 15 years old, and during the Great Ninja war, Naruto was about 17 years old. According to Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, the war occurred 15 years ago, and since the end of the war, he has been able to marry, ascend to the position of Hokage, and father two children. Based on the calculation, Naruto is 32 years old in Boruto, despite how he is frequently portrayed as an older character.
Naruto was born on October 10, according to the original Naruto series, and fused with the nine-tail fox shortly after he was born. And at the age of six, he enrolls at the Leaf Village Academy, a program that prepares young children to become ninjas.
A large part of the early series follows a young Naruto, who was around the age of twelve, right after he graduated from the Academy. He enrolls in the chunin tests, a process that allows genin ninjas to progress in rank and take on actual ninja missions at age 13. For the remainder of the Naruto series, he was 13 years old. Shippuden begins at the time skip, which also occurs in the manga.
How Old is Naruto in Season 1?
In season 1 of Naruto, our protagonist is a routinely mischievous 12-year-old orphan from the hidden leaf village whose ultimate aspiration is to become the Hokage of Konohagakure. And although season 1 comprises 220 episodes, he only added an extra year throughout the season, which ended when he was 13.
This season follows the story of the young orphan who aspires to lead his town of Konoha as the Hokage. He enrolls at Konoha’s Ninja Academy, where he receives instruction from his teacher and surrogate father figure, Iruka Umino, in preparation for a life as a shinobi committed to defending his community.
He graduates from Konoha’s Ninja Academy at the age of 12, and along with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, he joins a group known as Team 7. A significant portion of Season 1 is devoted to Naruto’s time spent training with Team 7 on various missions in order to reach a higher ninja rank. A year passed during the course of the season, making Naruto 13 years old when it ended.
How Old was Naruto When He Became Hokage?
Naruto’s age when he became a Hokage is estimated to be 31 years. He set out to become the greatest Hokage ever from the start of the series, and although he was still young when he became a Hokage, it happened relatively late in the story. After fighting in the Fourth Great Ninja war at the age of 17, he married Hinata a few years later at the age of 19 and became the father of Boruto and Himawari. Then, some years after the birth of Himawari, he rose to prominence as Konohagakure’s Seventh Hokage.
Although Naruto’s age when he became a Hokage wasn’t explicitly stated, it is inferred that he was 31 years old when he became a Hokage after Kakashi held the position for 13 years.
The most powerful and effective shinobi in the village is bestowed the prestigious title of Kage. A Kage is a person who is in charge of the village and is accountable for its security, keeping the peace, and of course, treating everyone like family. Our protagonist rose to become one of the youngest Kages in the series when he became the Kage of the hidden leaf village.
