For 'Naruto,' the birth itself isn't shown in the anime, but the immediate reactions to his existence as the jinchuriki shaped the series. Key figures like the Third Hokage, who made the decision to seal the Nine-Tails in him, and characters like Iruka and later Jiraiya, who learned of his burden, had profound long-term reactions. It reminds me of a different kind of pivotal birth in the story 'The Birth That Broke the Boss,' where a CEO's unexpected child completely upends corporate power structures and personal loyalties, forcing everyone to recalculate their positions from day one.

I still get chills thinking about the birthing episode in 'Naruto Shippuden' — the main reactors there are Kushina and Minato, no contest. Kushina’s anguish, bravery, and fierce protectiveness are filmed so intimately; she’s the most visibly shaken and heroic. Minato is the calm center who breaks when it matters, and his resolve to save the village and his newborn shows up in every scene he’s in.

Hiruzen and the hokage council show more of a sorrowful, bureaucratic grief — they’re worried about the village but also clearly moved. The nearby medical team and supporting shinobi are frantic and practical, reacting to the attack rather than the miracle of birth itself. If you widen the scope a bit, Iruka and Jiraiya later react strongly when they learn Naruto’s heritage, which adds another emotional layer to the birth’s aftermath.

Watching the childbirth scenes in 'Naruto Shippuden' hit me harder than I expected — the people who react most clearly are Kushina and Minato, naturally, because it's their whole world collapsing and reshaping in minutes. Kushina’s terrified, fierce, and utterly tender reactions are the emotional core: she’s struggling with childbirth, the chakra chains, and then the horror of the Nine-Tails, but you can see a mother’s love in every line. Minato’s reaction is quieter but just as powerful — decisive, pained, proud, and ultimately self-sacrificial when he makes the sealing choice.

Beyond them, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, shows a deep, resigned sorrow in the flashbacks; his expressions and the way other elders act make it clear how the village views the birth as both a miracle and a tragedy. The medical ninja and nearby Konoha shinobi react with alarm and urgency during the attack, and the Nine-Tails itself is almost a character reacting to the birth by lashing out.

Later episodes show others reacting when the truth comes out — Iruka’s compassion and Jiraiya’s melancholy are meaningful follow-ups, but if we’re talking strictly about the birth scenes, Kushina and Minato, followed by Hiruzen and the on-site ninja, carry the heaviest emotional weight.

As someone who rewatched the Kushina flashbacks recently, I like to split reactions into immediate and subsequent. Immediately during the birth in 'Naruto Shippuden', Kushina’s pain and emotional ferocity dominate the scene — she’s raw, honest, and crushingly human. Minato’s reaction is the next most prominent: composed in crisis, but visibly broken internally; his choices afterward define his character.

Hiruzen and the elders provide the village’s collective reaction — they’re less cinematic but their worry and mourning frame the social fallout. The medical ninja and other shinobi act out of duty; their reactions are urgent and militaristic, which contrasts beautifully with the familial grief of the Uzumaki-Namikaze pair. Then there’s the Nine-Tails, whose violent response is practically a reaction to the birth itself, turning a personal moment into a village catastrophe.

On the follow-through side, Iruka’s later tenderness toward Naruto and Jiraiya’s regretful fondness are emotional echoes of that birth: they react not at the moment of birth but when they discover what it meant for the child’s life. I always find those layered reactions — personal, institutional, and monstrous — what makes those episodes so effective.

If you want the short, practical take: the strongest immediate reactions in the birth scenes of 'Naruto Shippuden' are Kushina (intense maternal pain and bravery) and Minato (quiet, decisive, deeply affected). The Third Hokage and the village elders show sorrow and concern, while the on-site ninja and medical team are frantic and action-focused. The Nine-Tails itself reacts violently, turning the birth into a disaster.

Later on, when Naruto’s parentage is revealed, characters like Iruka and Jiraiya react with compassion and sorrow that retroactively shine a light on the birth. Personally, I’m most moved by Kushina’s scenes — they stick with me every rewatch.

How does Naruto react to Hinata's pregnancy?

Picture this: Naruto Uzumaki, the guy who once shouted about becoming Hokage louder than anyone, standing frozen in his living room with a pregnancy test in hand. His brain probably short-circuited between 'I'm gonna be a dad?!' and 'Wait, does this mean I have to stop eating ramen for breakfast?' Knowing him, he'd burst into tears within seconds—happy, chaotic ones—before teleporting around the village to tell everyone, including random shopkeepers. The funniest part? He'd absolutely bomb as a 'calm, prepared father' at first. Imagine him practicing diaper changes on shadow clones (resulting in a tornado of disposable diapers) or accidentally using 'sexy jutsu' during Lamaze class. But beneath the mess, his determination would shine—he'd probably train harder than ever, not just as a ninja, but as a parent. By the time Himawari or Boruto arrived, he’d be the kind of dad who carries baby photos in his kunai pouch and cries at lullabies.

Which Naruto chars react most to Naruto's harem jutsu?

Well, the funny thing about this is that it sort of depends on what you mean by 'react.' If we're talking pure, unadulterated nosebleed-and-faint territory, that's an easy one. Master Jiraiya. He's the textbook example, isn't he? The man literally created the technique for that exact purpose, so his reaction is canonically the most extreme and enthusiastic. It's his life's work made flesh, in a disturbingly literal sense. He doesn't just react; he celebrates. But beyond him, I've always found Ebisu's reaction more narratively telling. That tight-laced, rule-obsessed stickler for decorum completely melting down? It's a brilliant little joke about hypocrisy and repressed desire. He's supposed to be teaching Naruto about focus and discipline, and the kid immediately shatters his worldview with a single illusion. It says a lot about the uptight culture of the shinobi world that Naruto's 'worst' jutsu can so effectively dismantle it. Then there's Kurenai. Her reaction is more subtle, a mix of professional disapproval and, I suspect, a flicker of amusement buried under the stern face. She's a genjutsu mistress; she sees right through it, but she also sees it for the childish, chaotic tool it is. It's a reaction of cool assessment, not hormonal overload, which makes her stand out from the crowd.
