Why does Naruto have three scratches on each cheek?!
Question: they are whiskers cause of the fox inside him similar to gaaras raccon eyes
Answers: they are whiskers cause of the fox inside him similar to gaaras raccon eyes
Because he has the kyuubi in him.
After the Kyuubi was placed into his body, three facial markings appeared on Naruto's cheeks. When Naruto gets very angry and his uncontrolled Kyuubi power leaks out, the whiskers grow in size and become more feral looking. His eyes also turn from blue to red. His teeth and fingernails also grow longer and sharper.
Other features which cause Naruto to resemble a fox is the orange, black and white color of his outfit, his penchant for mischief and the squinty look to his eyes when confused.
Gaara to has the same effect:
Shukaku lied dormant within Gaara but could operate freely when Gaara slept. Because of the dangerous nature of Shukaku in this free wheeling state, Gaara went without sleep. As a result his eyes become dark and discolored. Stylistically this enhanced his ties to the tanuki, as the species has a dark area around their eyes.
Other features which cause Gaara to resemble a tanuki is the gourd on his back.
Naruto Rocks!!!!!
wiskers boiiii!!!!
Naruto's whisker's are a result of the Kyuubi. Since it is a fox, and foxes have whiskers, Naruto does as well.
It is the same with Gaara. Shukaku is a raccoon and raccoon's have the dark circles around their eyes, that is why Gaara has the circles. And since raccoons usually come out at night, Gaara doesn't sleep so he's an insomniac.
But yes, Naruto's whiskers are cause of the Kyuubi that he hosts. Hope that helps ^^
there whiskers of the nine tailed fox !! [:
They are actually whiskers. It's 'cause of the fox demon sealed inside of him.
lol they are wisker
they arent scratches
You see, when a demon is put inside of a human, it leaves a mark to show it is there
Naruto has the fox, which left "whiskers" on his face to represent itself
As others have mentioned, it makes naruto look more like a fox. Think of it as a manifestation of the biju on the body of the Jinchuriki.
They are whiskers and it's because of the nine-tailed fox.
because of the nine tailed fox
The Fox affected him physically through his life. First the whiskers, and the large canines. Then their are his slit eyes. Garra has raccoon eyes. And if I'm not mistaken, the Nekomata gave a young girl slanted eyes and sharp canines.
its because of the kyuubi demon which was sealed in him by Yondaime Hokage prior to his birth.
