Satisfied with the story, Takeuchi thought that the audience would agree with her view. She thought that although Naruto's declaration of love was the most important part of the character's growth, his true nature had not changed at that point. Takeuchi was reminded of Naruto's late godfather, Jiraiya, when she read the script. In regard to Naruto's growth Takeuchi was happy with the story and had hoped that Naruto would end up in a relationship with Hinata. Nine years after first voicing the character, while still finding it tough to voice Naruto, Takeuchi's opinion of him changed with her feeling he was "a very reliable young man." She admired his ability to prioritize and calmly make important decisions, and believes these traits will inspire viewers worldwide. She had to record the first episode of Part II when Naruto's character was older and more mature only one week after voicing the younger, immature character. She noted difficulties in transitioning from the young Naruto to the older Naruto in the animated adaptation of Part II. Before recording the first episode, Takeuchi noticed several lines from the script that ended with exclamation marks, which helped her to define Naruto's voice. Although a male voice actor was sought for the Japanese adaptation of the Naruto role, the actress Junko Takeuchi was chosen instead over many male applicants.
