The series places a focus on the importance of bonds and family, with severalNarutocharacters establishing themselves as great mothers, with their sons and daughters having been lucky enough to enjoy a great life courtesy of their maternal instincts. Though there are several worthy canditates, these are thebest mothers inNaruto.
8Karui
Marries Choji And Gives Birth To Chocho
It’s easy to hate on Karui and consider her to be irredeemable aftershe beat Naruto to a pulp. However, she was emotionally affected by the attack on Killer B and hated that a criminal like Sasuke was being protected by a member of the Leaf Village.
She eventually bonds with Choji, and they start a family together. Chocho turns out to be a lovable bundle of joy who is clearly cared for by her mother and father, with Karui supporting her child every chance she gets.
7Ino Yamanaka
Serves As A Supportive Mother To Inojin
Afterher rivalry with Sakura was settled, Ino calmed down and became a better character that fans started warming up to. Many love how mellow and laidback she is now, marrying Sai by the end of the series and giving birth to Inojin.
It’s clear that Ino and Sai have excelled as parents, given that Inojin has grown to be a respectful shinobi in his own right. For someone who was so short-tempered back in the day, it’s nice to see Ino mature and become a great mother.
6Temari Nara
Her Marriage With Shikamaru Leads To Shikadai’s Birth
Temari’s tumultuous relationship with Shikamaruculminated in the duo admitting their feelings to each other as they ended up together whileShippudendrew to a close. They raised Shikadai to be a competent shinobi who embodies the best qualities of both his parents.
It’s amazing to seehow much Temari has changedafter her first appearance inNaruto. The member of the Sand Siblings grew to become a competent mother who raised her child to become a stand-up shinobi.
5Mikoto Uchiha
It’s easy to label Mikoto as a bad parent, given thatshe didn’t stop the Uchiha rebellionfrom gaining its wings. However, it was clear that she loved both Itachi and Sasuke, giving them the time of day they deserved.
Even when Itachi came to kill his parents, she didn’t make him feel bad about the sacrifice she had to make. Itachi had tears in his eyes as Mikoto told him she would love him no matter what, before the two met their end at the hands of their son.
4Sakura Haruno
Serves As A Competent Mother To Sarada In Sasuke’s Absence
After marrying Sasuke, the shinobi decided to carry out several sensitive missions for the Leaf Village as he traveled the ninja world andbrought back valuable intel for Naruto. However, this meant that he couldn’t stick around at home for too long and raise his daughter.
Thankfully, Sakura understood the sacrifices that her husband had to make and ensured that Sarada received the love of a mother who treated her as a priority. Even though Sarada acted out since her father wasn’t around, Sakura did her best and eventually made her daughter acknowledge her efforts.
3Hinata Hyuga
Hinata Picks Up The Slack As A Parent When Naruto Is Busy Being The Hokage
Just like Sasuke, Naruto was another father who wasn’t able to be around his children for too long. The work of a Hokage required his undivided attention, which meant that he wasn’t always available to take care of Boruto and Himawari.
It’s hard to raise one kid all by their lonesome, let alone two. However, Hinata made up for Naruto’s absence by ensuring that both children were loved and doted on as they grew up. She’s a tremendous mother whom Naruto should thank endlessly, especially given his lackadaisical attitude as a father.
2Kushina Uzumaki
Sacrifices Herself For Her Son Without A Second Thought
It’s a shame that Naruto didn’t have any parents growing up, since it’s clear that both Minato and Kushina would’ve loved him endlessly had they lived to see him grow up. Instead, Kushina was targeted by Obito after her seal weakened during Naruto’s birth.
While Minato was able to incapacitate Obito, he couldn’t stop the Nine-Tails from wreaking havoc on the village. When Kurama tried to kill Naruto, both Minato and Kushina became human shields and saved their son at the cost of their lives. They imparted some sage words of wisdom to Naruto before setting up safeguards that allowed them to meet their son even after their demise.
1Karura
Her Love Is So Power That It Protects Gaara Even After Her Demise
For the longest time, Gaara believed that his absolute defense was a result of Shukaku’s powers. However, this power persisted even after Shukaku was taken from his body, which made Gaara wonder where this power came from.
This was answered by his father, who revealed that Gaara’s mother loved him to bits, with her spirit protecting him even after her demise. It’s a touching story that turns Gaara into the Harry Potter of theNarutouniverse. It’s just a shame that the young child couldn’t receive the love of his mother since she passed away shortly after his birth.
