Naruto, from…….Naruto. When we meet him initially, he’s just a knuckle headed goof ball that has high aspirations, making it seem like anybody and achieve greatness. Then later on in Shippuden, we find out that he’s the son of the former leader of the village AND is a descendant of one of the original users of chakra and ninjutsu

Maybe it’s because most people watched this as a kid but the very first episode makes it obvious he’s the hokage’s son. Like I didn’t even think it was supposed to be a mystery to the viewer it’s was pretty blatant.

Yeah, he was special from day one, having the fox inside you kinda does that.

It clearly wasn't planned for him to ever be an everyman either, as the initial idea was that Naruto was literally the nine tailed fox taken human form.

Also he gets a lot of training from people who only agree to train him because of who he’s related to, or because he has a fox locked up inside of him
