The Naruto [Secret: Scroll of People] Character Official Databook (NARUTO-ナルト-[秘伝・者の書]キャラクターオフィシャルデータBOOK, NARUTO [Hiden: Sha no Sho] Kyarakutā Ofisharu DētaBOOK) is the fourth of the supplementary guidebooks on the Naruto series authored by Masashi Kishimoto. It is the third of three databooks.

It was first published on 9th September 2008 and roughly covers volumes twenty-eight through forty-three. It was published as part of the Jump Comics line by Shueisha, under publisher Kazuhiko Torishima.


It's been more than 5 years since the release of the third databook. So many new events have taken place since its release. On top of this certain things have been changed and retconned that are in that book.

Is this book something that should still be referenced?

SHOULD it? Hell no, but people still will. Especially people who try to prove things that aren't in the realm of possibility.

It being the only thing we've got is kind of hard to ignore.

Addendum: When discusscing permanently dead characters then it can be used more effectively.

It depends on what you're talking about.
If you say a fact about the person's life (Sasuke's Hobby is training), that is still true.
If you bring the ratings of their powers, those have all changed

The databook, like the manga, is filled to the brim with contradictions. I don't usually reference it unless the thing I'm referencing is undeniable. Like stats or character hobbies.

in case of few things, yes it is still relevant, for example attacks like sand-coffin...

Thrid Databook is too old.

It says ''Susano'o recquires Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi'', which is obviously BS.

But for some other reasons, example: Hebi Sasuke stats it's okay.

But never use it for current events.
