What is Naruto's age?


I'm sort of new to Naruto. I just finished most of part one and about to start
Shippuden. I was wondering how old was he at the start of Shippuden? I'd
really like to know as I have researched it a bit and can't figure it out.
Maybe it slipped by me.

There's been all sort of answers online, but no definitive evidence. Evidence
would be nice.




From the [wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_Uzumaki) under _Personal_

> **Part I** : 12 - 13
>
> **Part II** _(Shippuden)_ : 15 - 16

It is also worth noting that when Minato asked him his age after stoping
naruto from releasing the Kyuubi's seal, Naruto told him that he was 16.

On the wiki, it also says that he graduated from the Academy at age 12, _some
time passed_ and we know he spent ~2.5 years away training with Jiraiya so
accounting for any time that may have passed, it eventually adds up.
