If Naruto Were Hokage in One Piece, What Would His Bounty Be?

The character of Naruto from Naruto and the world of One Piece offer fascinating parallel universes where power, influence, and chaos are key elements. If we were to imagine Naruto as the Hokage of a ninja nation, facing off against the world government in One Piece, what bounty would he receive? This fictional scenario will help us explore various factors that contribute to a bounty in the One Piece universe.

Factors Influencing the Bounty

For the sake of argument, consider the elemental nations in Naruto to be similar to Wano in the One Piece world, and the Marines to have a spy in Konoha who is tasked with assigning bounties. Additionally, since the Marines love puns, Naruto's bounty might include at least one nine for good measure.

Initial Bounties

Let's break down Naruto's bounty based on his abilities and influence in various stages of his journey:

Naruto in Naruto

Episode 2

At this point, Naruto has just beaten a Chunin and is capable of creating an army of himself. He is notorious for creating pranks, which justifies a small bounty. However, the Tailed Beast within him raises the bounty significantly. A reasonable estimate would be 19,000,000 berries for surviving a B-rank mission, defeating Neji, having control over the Nine-Tails' power, and saving the village from the One-Tail.

Search for Tsunade arc

By now, Naruto has demonstrated his prowess in a B-rank mission, survived a significant fight against Neji, and has control over the Nine-Tails' power to an extent. He has also learned the Fourth Hokage's signature offensive technique. A bounty of 49,000,000 berries seems appropriate for his growing abilities and importance to the village.

Shippuden and Beyond

Start of Shippuden

Naruto's basic skills have greatly enhanced. He has learned a larger version of the Rasengan, and the Nine-Tails can transform into a Four-Tailed form under extreme anger. This fluctuates his threat level, making his bounty range from 79,000,000 to 390,000,000 berries. Let's give him a lower estimate of 139,000,000 berries.

Akatuki suppression mission

Naruto has just defeated his first Akatuki member and mastered Wind Style on the Rasengan. Using Asuma as a guideline, and considering a high-ranking Jonin is around 300,000,000 berries, Naruto's current bounty should be around 339,000,000 berries.

Five Kage summit

Naruto has successfully defeated the Akatuki leader, learned Sage Mode, and become the leader of the leaf. A bounty of 429,000,000 berries is fitting for a Hokage level of power and influence.

Final Bounty

Beginning of war arc

The threats to the ninja nations and the world government are escalating, with multiple nations forming a united front to protect Naruto. At this point, his bounty reflects both his power and the influence of the elemental nations. A bounty of 1,390,000,000 berries seems fair, as it accounts for his status as a formidable force.

End of series/shippuden (Naruto)

Now, Naruto's power surpasses an emperor, and he has the influence of a Kage with numerous alliances. Sasuke backs him up, but two factors—politics and underlings—need to be considered:

Naruto's reluctance to engage in aggressive politics and the potential political restraint from the world government. The forces of Kaido and others far surpass the Leaf in power, especially in numbers.

Given these considerations, a reasonable estimate would be a bounty for a series of emperors, around 4,990,000,000 berries.

Current Boruto

In the current series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, with the loss of the Nine-Tails and Sasuke's decline, Naruto's overall fighting power has drastically declined. A fair estimate for Naruto's current bounty, with these factors in mind, would be 3,690,000,000 berries.

Conclusion

The bounty for Naruto in the One Piece universe is deeply influenced by his power, chaos, destruction, and influence. From a small bounty for his early feats to a massive one reflecting his ultimate power and influence, Naruto's journey showcases the dynamic nature of bounties in the world of One Piece.
