Like many other anime and manga before it, Naruto is known for having a wide array of characters. There are of course the heroes, such as the Ninjas from Konoha (also known as Leaf Village) which include our titular hero and his Ninja Squad members. However, there are also the villains whether they are rogue Ninjas or leaders of criminal organizations who want to take over the world. Yet the more we learn about these characters, the more complex some of them turn out to be. For instance, one character may choose to become evil for the sake of doing something good (even if their methods are questionable) while another may appear to be evil but actually come from a tragic past that forced them to do bad things. The same is true for characters that appear to be good but are actually evil, or they had good intentions initially but have become evil overtime. In either case, we all love these characters despite their flaws because there’s at least one character in this series we can relate to or we admire them because of their actions. So come rate these beloved characters and see where you stand on the moral scale!
Naruto Uzumaki
Orphaned from birth, Naruto’s life was never easy. It didn’t help that he also happened to be carrying the Nine-Tailed Fox, a terrible monster that nearly destroyed Konoha Village, inside of him. Yet despite this, Naruto found companionship with his Squad members (even if they didn’t always get along).
Sasuke Uchiha
When he was a child, Sasuke witnessed his entire Clan being slaughtered by his older brother Itachi. Since then, he’s trained hard to become the best Ninja in order to end his brother’s life so his Clan can be avenged.
Sakura Haruno
Coming from a decent family, Sakura has had very few problems to deal with. Her main goal is to make Sasuke hers, even if it means dealing with rivals or rejecting advances from other boys she doesn’t care much about.
Kakashi Hatake
Being alone for most of his life, Kakashi initially had a hard time getting along with others. Yet overtime, he managed to warm up a little. As the leader of Squad 7, he’s very strict on his younger colleagues but also helpful at times.
Zabuza Momochi
From his youth, Zabuza demonstrated the abilities of a cold-blooded killer when he assassinated over a hundred students in the Mist Village’s Ninja Academy. Then he participated in a failed coup to murder the Mist Village leader, and eventually became a mercenary-for-hire.
Haku
Born in a small village where kekkei genkai (natural abilities that are passed down genetically) were shunned, Haku used his recklessly which killed both his mother and father. Afterwards, he was found by Zabuza who wanted him as his “weapon”.
Rock Lee
Considered a Loser by his peers, Rock Lee had nothing going for him except he was able to use Taijutsu (aka fighting moves) though he wasn’t very good at it. Nevertheless, his Squad leader Might Guy decided to take Lee on as a pupil and develop his Taijutsu skills further.
Neji Hyuuga
Being a perfectionist at heart, Neji strives to be better than every one else around him. Yet despite this, he’s burdened by being in the Cadet Branch of the Hyuuga Clan which makes him inferior to the Main Branch members whom he’s sworn to protect under the threat of death.
Shikamaru Nara
Despite his laziness and general disinterest in anything, Shikamaru is very intelligent. Considered to be one of the smartest Shinobi (Ninja) in the whole Konoha Village, he usually plans several steps ahead in every battle and always outsmarts his opponents.
Hinata Hyuuga
Despite being the heir to the prestigious Hyuuga Clan, Hinata was shamed by her father and her cousin for being too weak. Because of this, she’s worked to become stronger every day so she can improve herself and impress the boy she loves.
Gaara
Like Naruto, Gaara also carries a monster within him only this one is known as Shukaku. Originally, it possessed his mother but she died during childbirth and so Shukaku was transferred to Gaara. Because of this, he’s feared by everyone in his Village including his siblings and father.
Kabuto Yakushi
A victim of treachery, Kabuto had no true identity until he met Orochimaru. Together, they formed the Sound Village with Kabuto acting as Orochimaru’s spy infiltrating both Konoha and the Akatsuki to gather information that would benefit Orochimaru and his unethical human experiments.
Orochimaru
One of the three legendary Sannin, Orochimaru’s secret fascination with immortality led him to perform human experiments. Once the authorities got wind, he was exiled from Konoha and became the leader of Sound Village. From there, he perfected a technique that allowed him to switch bodies to stay young.
Hiruzen Sarutobi
Also known as the Third Hokage (aka the leader of Konoha Village), Sarutobi is one of the oldest Ninjas around. He’s been through two Ninja Wars, was the mentor to the three who would become the Sannin, and is both a father and grandfather as well.
Jiraiya
A notorious pervert and author of adult-themed books like Make-Out Paradise, Jiraiya isn’t certainly the kind of person you would expect to be a master of powerful techniques nor capable of mentoring others. And yet, he mentored both the future Fourth Hokage and Naruto after that.
Itachi Uchiha
At a young age, Itachi became a member of Anbu (a Black Ops group that specializes in assassinations) and mastered his family’s kekkei genkai. He was then ordered to kill his entire family because they were planning to overthrow Konoha’s leader in a coup but spared his younger brother Sasuke.
Kisame Hoshigaki
Formerly a member of the Mist Village and one of its Seven Swordsmen, Kisame was involved in a number of conspiracies and assassinations before leaving altogether to join the Akatsuki. He was partnered with Itachi, and though the two didn’t get along at first they both managed to work together.
Tsunade
Having lost both her brother and her lover during the Second Ninja War, Tsunade left Konoha Village out of grief as she blamed herself. This was in part due to the necklace she carried, which was from her grandfather the First Hokage, which she gave to them before they died.
Kimimaro
The last of the Kaguya Clan who were known to attack other Clans and villages ruthlessly, Kimimaro was considered their most valuable weapon because of his kekkei genkai. But when the entire Clan was slaughtered, he had no one else to turn to except Orochimaru who gave him a purpose.
Chiyo
She was once the Sand Village’s resident poison and Puppeteer expert along with her brother. But after the Second Shinobi War, Chiyo and her brother retired. Then after her son and daughter-in-law were murdered, she was forced to take care of her grandson Sasori before he went rogue.
Sasori
After being taken in by his grandmother, Sasori was taught the Puppet Technique from her. He became so enveloped in it that he started to do terrible things such as creating an entire puppet made from the corpse of his best friend which led to him joining the Akatsuki.
Deidara
A clay sculptor with a short temper, Deidara was frustrated by the lack of appreciation in his art and so he decided to take it up a notch by making his clay sculptures explode upon command. From there, he became a bomb expert and caught the attention of the Akatsuki.
Sai
When he was young, Sai was recruited into the Root organization which was a sub-group within the Anbu. Its rigorous training regime caused all of Sai’s emotions to be purged except for his feelings toward Shin, another Root member whom he saw like an older brother before his death.
Pain
Also known as Nagato, he was one of three Rain Village orphans that were affected by the Second Shinobi War. They were then taken in by Jiraiya, who taught them to defend themselves. But three years later, a tragic event led Nagato to form the Akatsuki.
Obito Uchiha
Formerly part of Konoha Village and a teammate of Kakashi’s when they were in a squad together under the future Fourth Hokage, Obito was considered dead when he was crushed by a boulder. He was saved by Zetsu and Mandara, the Uchiha Clan’s ancestor, who gave him artificial limbs.
