Naruto’s Bingo Book Entry: As you know, due to Orochimaru leaking Naruto’s identity and background to the other villages, the Chūnin Exams are going to diverge heavily from canon. In Chapter 93, we’ll be seeing Naruto’s first official bingo book entry, and I want to make it count.
Here’s where you come in: I want to hear your ideas for Naruto’s bounty and the epithets each nation might assign him.
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
Iwagakure (Stone): "Son of Calamity" – A direct reference to his lineage as Minato Namikaze’s son. Given Iwa’s deep hatred for the Yellow Flash, they wouldn’t hesitate to slap a poetic (and ominous) title on Naruto. Ironically since Naruto is a calamity dragon.
Kumogakure (Cloud): TBD. Open to ideas here.
Kirigakure (Mist): TBD. Open to ideas here.
Sunagakure (Sand): TBD – Their alliance with Konoha complicates things. Would they even officially list him?
What bounty would you realistically assign Naruto at this stage in the story?
For reference, 300 Ryo is 30 dollars.
Drop your ideas in the comments, or message me directly if you have something long-form to share. I’ll be reviewing all of your submissions and may feature some of them in the actual story!
As always, thank you for being part of this journey.
– Adam!

My personal thoughts are the majority villages are more likely to watch and wait. Lineage is only part of the equation. What sort of person is Naruto the more important thing to ask. Yes, Naruto is the son of Minato, but if you approach him right, he could be a powerful ally. And Onoki of The Two Scales, and known as a fence sitter, would know that. Plus, what better way to Spite Minato than to turn his son into an ally of Stone? What epitaph would Kiri give Naruto? It depends on WHICH Kiri. The one where Tobi controls Yagura from the shadows, or the one with Mei as Mizukage (with Zabuza vouching for him). Kumo? Killer Bee will be involved... Suna? Is it before or after the churning exams? It also depends on what he displays to them. Potentially just "'Dragon' Uzumaki Naruto" Short, gets the point across, fits Gaara's "I don't need lots of words" motif (when he's not having a psychotic episode, at least ".

2025-07-10 16:01:39 +0000 UTCTo be honest, I don't think he should have any epithets yet. Since he hasn't really 'earned' one so to speak. Son of Calamity sounds like a name of someone with a flee on sight order.

2025-06-23 05:04:03 +0000 UTCHonestly, I would say Iwa's bingo book entry is fine, with the Calmaity Epithet. For the other villages, I would say they wouldn't put out entries until after the Chunin Exam, so their agents could get a read on him before offering a ludicrous bounty for someone who might be nothing. Iwa makes sense, since they would believe Naruto would either A) be able to use the Yellow Flash technique or B) have access to a new bloodline limit that Minato used. The fact that no one knew about Naruto till now would make them paranoid about it. But a basic entry would be the following, with extra info: Name: Alias: Ranking: Village of Origin: Known Affiliates: Known Techniques: Orders: (Flee on sight, etc)
