Okaaaay, this is really a joke costume. Well, not a JOKE joke costume...I am not really counting it because I didn't make it!

I saw this AWESOME Naruto jacket in a random anime store at the mall by my house! I thought it was one of those costumes from Japan or something. I wanted to buy it just to have it, not even for cosplay reasons.

It turns out it was only the official Viz Naruto jacket and they sold it downstairs at Hot Topic. ;_; (BTW, it is actually a very very well made jacket! Seriously.)

Anyway. Long story short. I bought it anyway so my friend Soyo (who cosplays as an AMAZING Sasuke!) could finally have a Naruto to take pictures with!

Everything came together. I already had the wig because Soyo, Ami Yuy, and I are doing artbook versions of Naruto at some point. I already had the shoes and kunai holder because I have cosplayed as Hinata and Kiba, and Soyo had orange pants that I am using temporarily. (The hue is slightly off, but maybe I'll make some myself one day!)
Anyway, put all these together and you have yourself a Naruto cosplay!

Wig: styled by Soyo (with a teeny bit of help from me)
Shoes: made by me

I had tons of fun cosplaying as Naruto! Definitely would do it again! I am tempted to make (yes, SEW SEW!) his Shippūden outfit someday.
