Add as preferred source on Google

Many of us have been following Naruto’s journey to becoming a Hokage since he was but a mere kid. In a way, we have grown up alongside him, and seeing Naruto getting acknowledged by everyone has been cathartic, to say the least. Furthermore, with the release of Boruto, fans had the opportunity to see Naruto fulfill his duties as a father and Hokage, even though it may be from the perspective of his son.

However, one common confusing aspect of the entire franchise is Naruto’s age. It is confusing to keep track of, especially considering the various time-skips between seasons. However, after careful deliberation, we have managed to make an accurate timeline of Naruto’s age as per the season and anime. So without further ado, let’s dive right in!

Naruto’s Age in Naruto

Naruto’s age in Naruto, i.e., the original series, is 12 initially, but he grows up one more year during the 220 episodes. At the age of 13, he goes with Jiraiya, the legendary Sannin, to train and become stronger in order to bring Sasuke back. This is where the original series ends, and Naruto: Shippuden picks up after Naruto returns to Konohagakure 3 years later.

Here’s a simple recount of Naruto’s age throughout different arcs in Naruto part 1.

• Nine-Tailed Beast’s attack - Infant
• Beginning of academy - 6 years old
• Graduation - 12 years old
• Chunin exams - 12 years old (The exams take place in July, and since Naruto’s birthday is in October, he’d be 12 at that point)
• Training arc with Jiraiya - 13 years old

Naruto’s Age in Naruto: Shippuden

Naruto’s age in Naruto Shippuden is 15 in the beginning and 17 during the Fourth Shinobi War. During Naruto: The Last, he is 19 years old, and later there’s a blank period till he once again returns in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.

Here’s a simple recount of Naruto’s age throughout different arcs in Naruto Shippuden.

• Return to Konohagakure - 15.5 to 16 years old
• Pain arc - 16 years old
• Fourth Shinobi War - 17 years old

Naruto’s Age in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

After Shippuden, Naruto is around 17 years old, and then there’s a time jump of about 15 years between that and the events of Boruto. Factoring in Boruto’s age (12), Naruto’s age in Boruto is 32 to 33 years old. This means he had already become a parent at the age of 21, and by the age of 27-28, Naruto had achieved his long-held ambition of becoming a Hokage.

Here’s a simple recount of Naruto’s age throughout different arcs after Shippuden and in Boruto.

• Naruto: The Last (movie) - 19 years old
• Naruto’s wedding to Hinata - 19 to 20 years old
• Boruto’s birth - 21 years old
• Naruto becomes Hokage - 27 to 28 years old
• Beginning of Boruto - 32 years old
• Naruto’s current age - 33 years old

Where to Watch Naruto?

Naruto (220 Episodes)

A powerful demon known as the Kyuubi, i.e., the Nine-Tailed Fox, assaulted Konohagakure and wreaked havoc moments before Naruto Uzumaki was born. The struggle raged on for a long time until the Fourth Hokage fought the Kyuubi valiantly and sealed it in his son.

Naruto is now a hyperactive, knucklehead ninja who is struggling to find his place in the village after being shunned because of the Kyuubi within him.  Naruto vows to become the greatest ninja in Konoha as he grows older in order to prove to everyone that he is a human being deserving of respect and love. However, the path to becoming Hokage is arduous and convoluted.

Naruto has been away from Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf Village, for two and a half years to train with Jiraiya. Now, just as he returns, Akatsuki, a secret society of rebellious elite shinobi, is closing in on their ultimate plan, which might jeopardize the shinobi world's safety.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (Ongoing)

Following the successful conclusion of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Hidden Leaf Village has entered a period of peace and modernization. All of this is thanks to the efforts of the Allied Shinobi Forces and Naruto Uzumaki, the village's Seventh Hokage. Tall structures line the streets, gigantic monitors flash with images, and the Thunder Rail connects each area through the village. With Konoha resembling a modern metropolis, the life of a shinobi has changed.

As the son of the Seventh Hokage, Boruto Uzumaki is frequently the center of attention. His arrogance as a prodigy, along with his father's busy lifestyle, has damaged their relationship. However, as new forces start to stir, Boruto's easygoing lifestyle is in danger. Along with new allies, Boruto must deal with a series of bizarre occurrences that begin to unfold and grow up into a mature shinobi along the way.
