Naruto World Seals Guide

Wearer: Uzumaki Naruto

This seal was attached to Naruto shortly after birth by the Fourth Hokage. When the Kyuubi demon fox attacked Leaf Village, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to capture and imprison the Kyuubi into the body of baby Naruto. This eight trigram style seal allows the chakra of the Kyuubi to bleed through the upper and lower Four Symbol seals into Naruto, while still keeping the Kyuubi imprisoned.

Wearer: Third Hokage

This seal was formed on the Third Hokage when he removed the souls of the First and Second Hokage from their sacrificial host body. It also was formed on his stomach when he removed a portion of Orochimaru-s soul. The Shiki Fuujin "Demonic Soul Seal" was developed by the Fourth Hokage. This technique involves calling forth the Shinigami (Death God). The Shinigami will remove the soul of the target, unfortunately the jutsu caster will also have their soul ingested by the Death God.

 

Wearer: Uchiha Sasuke, Mitarashi Anko

This seal was attached to both Leaf ninja by Orochimaru.

 

Wearer: Kimimaro

This seal was attached to the Sound ninja Kimimaro by Orochimaru. It is said to be equal in power as the Heaven Seal.

Wearer: Kidoumaru

This seal was attached to the body of Sound ninja Kidoumaru by Orochimaru. Note this was only briefly seen in the anime, it has yet to be officially confirmed anywhere else.

Wearer: Sakon and Possibly Ukon

This three dot seal was attached to Sakon-s forehead by Orochimaru. Ukon-s infection spread resembles that of his brother, however we have not seen his seal directly.

Wearer: Tayuya

This seal was attached to the back of Sound ninja Tayuya-s neck by Orochimaru.

 

 Wearer: Hyuuga Branch Family

This seal is attached to the members of the Hyuuga Branch Family. Is is placed on the family member at birth to ensure the secrets of the Byakugan do not fall into enemy hands. It also ensures the Branch member follows the orders of the Main House. When the seal is placed on the Branch members forehead, their mind can be destroyed by a hand seal known only by the Main family.

Please note: This is a variation on what is commonly known as a manji, which had its origins several thousand years before the Nazi came to power and used the swastika. It was usually known as a symbol of good luck and protection. This variation is probably meant to be the Buddhist symbol for Buddha-s heart and mind.

When the seal is placed on the Branch members forehead, their mind can be destroyed by a hand seal known only by the Main family.

Please note: This version is found in the anime. The animators tried to get around the Nazi swastika connotation by altering the inner portion of the symbol.

  

Wearer: Uchiha Sasuke

Hatake Kakashi attempted to seal the Heaven Seal placed on Sasuke by Orochimaru. It was hoped the seal would help prevent the cursed seal from activating on Sasuke-s neck.

Wearer: Uzumaki Naruto

When Orochimaru saw the power of the Kyuubi pouring forth from Naruto in the Forest of Death, he placed this seal around Naruto-s Shisou Fuuin on his stomach. The seal served to disrupt Naruto-s ability to control his chakra. Naruto was unable to harmonize his chakra with that of the Kyuubi, causing his chakra use to be wasteful and unsteady.
