Naruto - Twenty Years in the Making by @Raven_Scarlett (Sierra .)

Rawr. Part one of four of a discontinued image series. I'd finish the others if I could make myself care about Naruto anymore. Anyway, drawn about two years ago, coloured about one year ago.

That rasengan gave me trouble at first... The red/orange aura is supposed to double as his Kyuubi chakra and also Naruto's passionate spunk.

And YES, Naruto's hair looks like the Yondaime Hogake's; I did that for a reason and I'm now incredibly relieved that I did.
