Boisterous and ambitious, the version of Naruto Uzumaki first introduced at the start of Part I of Naruto, was someone who believed that anything could be accomplished through sheer grit and hard work. His ideals, and those of the series as a whole, were centered on the notion that one's origins were not indicative of what they could achieve. As a result, the idea that anyone could reach great heights in the shinobi world simply through sheer perseverance and dedication, even if they did not possess any innate talent, was promoted through Naruto's own ideology.
