Gennō's Son

The character sometimes called Gennō's grandson is actually established as his son. He grew up in Kagerō Village hunting treasure alongside his father Gennō and died in battle roughly thirty years before the main story, a loss that drove Gennō toward vengeance against Konoha.

Gennō's son is a boy from Kagerō Village who bears an uncanny resemblance to Naruto Uzumaki, sharing the same blond hair though worn sleek rather than spiky. He died in battle defending his village roughly thirty years before the events of the main story.

Gennō's son took up the shinobi life against his father's wishes and was killed defending Kagerō Village, a loss that left Gennō consumed by guilt and grief and set him on a path of vengeance against Konoha.

Gennō's son shared his father's love of hunting for hidden treasure, and years later Naruto's kind heart and determination reminded Gennō so strongly of his lost son that he abandoned his revenge plot and turned it into a giant scavenger hunt instead.

Gennō's son was blond with sleek, grown out hair rather than the spiky style Naruto wears, and he dressed simply in a white t-shirt layered under a dark vest jacket.
