Naruto is an extremely well-known series about a 12 year old boy named Naruto Uzumaki and his desire to become the most powerful Ninja in his town. What's unknown to some is that the original concept didn't even involve ninja!Sometimes referred to as "Chapter 0", the original pilot for Naruto debuted in a 1997 issue of Akamaru Jump. It is remarkably different from the final product. There are no ninja, none of the characters besides Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Fox, Teuchi (the Ichiraku Ramen guy), and a very early version of the 3rd Hokage appear, and the atmosphere is completely different.The story begins with a backstory. Several years ago nine powerful men risked their lives to seal the famous and deadly giant Nine-Tailed Fox of Mt. Oinari. All but one perished in the attack. The surviving man took pity on the Nine-Tailed Foxes' son and took him in. This kit turned out to be Naruto Uzumaki. Usually living in human form, Naruto is a demon living amongst humans. Despite the peaceful relations between demons and humans, Naruto can't blend in with everyone else. He's a spoiled, bratty boy who causes nothing but trouble.In order to stop Naruto from becoming a monster like his father, Naruto's guardian the Chief gives him the task of going into the nearby city and bringing back a friend. Naruto is forbidden from returning home until he makes a true friend. While in the city Naruto meets two artists: the friendly trainee Takashi Takano and his jaded drunkard teacher Kuroda. Naruto befriends Takashi, only for that night Takashi to be murdered. Naruto is framed for the murder. Naruto promises to find the real killer and spends the next week looking for him. He eventually finds the killer, brings him to justice, and gains the trust of Kuroda.The oneshot ended up doing so well that two years later it was revitalized into a full-fledged manga. The rest is history.

Stock Shōnen Hero: Surprisingly it's averted. Naruto is one of the Trope Codifiers but displays almost none of the characteristics in the pilot. He's not an Idiot Hero, not Oblivious to Love, has no interest in friendship, and doesn't seem to be interested in fighting.

Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Naruto's Sexy Jutsu has clothes on, albeit skimpy clothes, and has a fox tail (because Naruto hasn't gotten the hang of a full transformation). The Chief is an early version of the Third Hokage. He looks quite different.

Characterization Marches On
 Naruto (1997) (Manga) / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: In the final manga, Naruto starts out as a mischievous boy who plays pranks to attract attention, with said pranks always being lighthearted. Those his age that dislike him do so because they they find him annoying and immature. Here, Naruto is genuinely a complete jerkass and his pranks are much more mean spirited. The first thing we seem him do is trick a guy into a hole and pee on him. Naruto's apparently also pooped in the Chief's bed. People mostly don't trust Naruto because of this, not because he's a demon (though he does suffer a bit of Fantastic Racism for not being a human).

Early-Installment Weirdness: There are no ninja, the story takes place in Mount Oinari rather than Konoha, and the cast is almost completely different (though Tazuna resembles Kuroda). Naruto is more bratty than in the manga and he is the son of Kurama. The manga is set in contemporary Japan, not a Retro Universe Fictional Earth. Guns are present and technology is more advanced. Naruto can use jutsu but only transformation jutsu and only if he places a naruto cake on his forehead.

Nice Guy: Takashi is polite, friendly and is on the cusp of befriending Naruto just before being murdered. Hiroshi is an upstanding young man and a trustworthy friend who helped one of his friends when the latter broke his leg.

Freudian Excuse

While Kuroda is obviously bitter and cynical, Naruto and the viewer don't know how bad it is until Takashi explains his Freudian Excuse.

comment
No Name Given: Quite a few of the characters' names are unknown, most notably the chief, who's only referred to by his title, the demon fox, and the police officer guarding the painting who turns out to be Matsushima's accomplice for the theft and murder.

Tragic Mistake: Saburo tried to kill Kuroda to take his job. It ruined their friendship, and Saburo, overcome by remorse, took his own life.

There are no ninja, the story takes place in Mount Oinari rather than Konoha, and the cast is almost completely different (though Tazuna resembles Kuroda). Naruto is more bratty than in the manga and he is the son of Kurama.

Jerkass: Naruto, at first. In addition to what's mentioned in Characterization Marches On, he casually suggests that the chief should "join" his dead friends.
