Naruto Characters

Uzumaki Naruto
Naruto is the number one loudest ninja of the Leaf Village. He is loud, hyperactive, clumsy, kind of stupid and he dreams of becoming hokage. Although Naruto definitely isn’t the smartest or most talented ninja of the Leaf Village, he does have one hell of a lot of chakra at his disposal

Twelve years before Naruto graduated from the academy a powerful demon called Kyubi terrorized the Leaf Village. The Fourth Hokage barely managed to seal the Nine-Tails Demon Fox within a boy, Naruto, but unfortunately he didn’t survive the battle himself. The Fourth wanted Naruto to be seen as a hero, a boy who saved the village from Nine-Tails. But unfortunately that wasn’t meant to be. Many of the older villagers saw Naruto as the Nine-Tails himself, and hated and ignored him for it.

Because of this, Naruto desperately seeks for acknowledgement for his existence. He is a first-class prankster and he tells everyone he will someday become the hokage of his village.
The first person to really acknowledge Naruto’s existence is teacher Iruka. Ikura really looked after Naruto and taught him the values of life. If it wasn’t for him, Naruto probably wouldn’t be where he is now.

In combat Naruto isn’t exactly what you would call a genius. He is more the type who would charge in head on to his opponent, although from time to time Naruto does have his moments with some deceiving tactics he comes up with. But Naruto is not to be underestimated. He has a lot of chakra at his disposal, especially when he learns to tap in to Kyubi’s chakra. This huge amount of chakra makes him able to go berserk (like he did against Haku) and summon GamaBunta.



Tsunade
Tsunade is the third and last part of the three Legendary Leaf Sennins, with Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Tsunade was also the first medical ninja to be put on the field.

At a young age, Tsunade had a dramatic death that made her to push for a medical unit to be implemented in the Konoha military; the death of her younger brother Nawaki, the day after she gave him the necklace which belonged to the 2nd Hokage. After the meeting which she laid out her idea, which was initially rejected, another Jounin pushed his support for the idea. Tsunade and the Jounin named Dan became very close, until Dan was killed by enemy ninjas. Since then, Tsunade has had a paralyzing fear of blood.

Tsunade's fighting techniques are few, as she is a medical specialist. But she has an obscene amount of strength, even at a young age, and "one good hit" will kill anyone, as Kabuto puts it.
As a side note, her summon, Katsuyu, doesn't seem to talk much. She seems to be rather shy.


Rock Lee
Rock Lee (a.k.a. thick eyebrows, as Naruto calls him) is a genin level ninja. Just like his row model Gai-sensei, he is a TaiJutsu specialist. Lee is incapable of using NinJutsu or even GenJutsu. But due to Lee’s great determination and extreme hard work, he was able to counter this great weakness by specializing in TaiJutsu.

In Lee’s schooldays everyone thought he would never be able to become a ninja, simply because he can’t use NinJutsu and GenJutsu. But Lee has great determination, and said to himself that he could be a very strong ninja that only uses TaiJutsu. That’s when he met Gai-sensei. Gai is also a ninja that only uses TaiJutsu. Gai-sensei became Lee’s teacher and row model, and he taught Lee everything he knows now.

Lee also has a crush on Sakura. At first Sakura didn’t want anything to do with him because he looks weird. But after saving her life and the fight with Gaara, she is starting to see what’s so special about him: his unstoppable determination. Lee’s training consists of physical training only. He always wears extremely heavy weights around his ankles. Lee only takes them off in life and death situations. When he does this he speed and strength increase dramatically. But Lee’s true power lies in the fact that he can open several of his body’s chakra Gates. After opening several of his Gates he can temporarily posses even more chakra then the Hokage, which makes him inhumanly fast. The downside of this technique is that it does severe damage to his body, that’s why Lee can only do it for a very short time. If he can’t finish his opponent before his body receives to much damage, he’s done for.

Aburame Shino
Behind Sasuke and Naruto, Shino is the strongest of the Nine Leaf Rookies from Hidden Leaf, yet, oddly enough, remains quite stoic and impassive. He talks only unless he absolutely has to, and not because of lack of intelligence. Rather, he is quick to pinpoint advantage's and weakness's when he fights. Not quite on Nara Shikamaru's, but closer than the other rookies.

From birth, people of the Aburame clan make a pact with an insect known as Destruction Bugs. In exchange for a lifetime of chakra which the insect's use for food, the host in which the bugs live in can call upon their service whenever they need to. Shino is no different, and has thousands of the insects living inside him. Aburame Shino utilizes the insects by having them sneak attack his enemy, while he distracts them with simple taijutsu. He could also have a clone of himself performed when in danger, or use a female bug as a tracking device hunting down fleeing pursuers.

Shino's first documented fight against Zaku Abumi demonstrates Shino's cool demeanor and strength, as well as his ability to think ahead of his opponent. After the fight, many people, including Naruto and Hyuuga Neji were impressed, but still, much remains unknown about him

Akamaru
Akamaru is the faithful dog of Kiba, who usually sits on top of Kiba's head. Kiba uses him as a tool in combat and Akamaru has proven to be useful to do various things. For example: He can pick up the scent of enemies and determine wether they're hostile or not. He can also perform combo jutsu's together with Kiba.

Akimichi Choji
The big-boned Choji is a pupil of Asuma and a teammate of Shikamaru and Ino. Choji spends most of his time eating, thinking about eating, and resting. He has pretty funny jutsu like the meat tank, where he triples his size and transforms himself into a huge spinning ball. And then uses his chakra to roll the ball in all directions.

He isn't really motivated to fight or do anything for that matter. The only way to get him to fight or help is to reward him with food. But when people call him chubby,fatty(...etc.) / mocking his weight he gets pissed off, and won't hold back. Since he's part of the Akimichi Clan who specializes in body enlargement jutsu he can also use the clan's food pills to increase his power tremendously, but putting a heavy strain on the body. Choji is someone who is, but mustn't be under estimated.

Gaara Of The Desert

Born as an experiment from the Hidden Village of Sand, Gaara was combined with the spirit of a demonic sand priest known as Shukaku, not unlike Naruto and the Nine Tails. Gaara grew up without knowing love. For a long time he tought being spoiled equals love, but when he met Rock Lee that opinion changed.

Unfortunately, Gaara became unstable around the age of six years. Consequently, his father, Kazakage, ordered numerous assassination attempts upon him, all failing miserably. This betrayal caused Gaara to become hateful and deeply suspicious of everyone, including his siblings, who he regarded as "lumps of meat linked together by hatred and murderous intent."

The tattoo on Gaara's forehead means love, which combined with his name means, "I Love Death." Since he only feels alive when he kills, he believes that killing is his reason for being.

Haruno Sakura

Sakura is on the same team as Naruto and Sasuke, so another one of Kakashi's students. Altough she's one of the main characters in the series, she plays a more supportive part in the beginning. When we see her, basically things get focused on her love for Sasuke. But as the storylines continues she adventually gets strongers too. She's a very smart student, and graduated from the academy with top grades. She has a perfect control over her Chakra, but lacks the will to become an excellent ninja. She has no unique skills, nor do we see her do any training in the series. But Kakashi do said that she has some skill in genjutsu. So if we would have to expect Sakura learning new skills, it'll probably be in that area.

She has quite a history with Ino too. Sakura is somebody who got picked on because of here wide forehead when she was little. Ino was one of her first friends, and said if she didn't hide her forehead so much, she wouldn't get picked on whole the time. She also said 'Sakura, you will bloom into a beautiful flower one day.'. From that day on, they became best friends.

But the day Sakura told Ino she was in love with Sasuke too, she also said to Ino that from that day on they couldn't be friends anymore. Now they're rivals who compete over Sasuke's attention and love. Now when Sakura meets Ino, it's more like 'Ah, Ino-Pig...'. But as the series continues, Sakura undergoes some changes. Her obsession on Sasuke will lessen, and her respect towords the "not-so-cool" group like Naruto and Lee will grow. But not only will she gain some some respect towards other people. She also gets a little envious, and remembers that she should also try her best, too.

Jiraiya

Jiraiya was a student of the 3th hokage and the sensei of the future 4th hokage. Jiraiya is also one of the Three Legendary Sennin, together with Tsunade and Orochimaru. He is the "Rock" as the three are heavily based off the "Rock, Paper, Scissors" game, or also known as Janken

You first see him peeping in the women bathing place to "collect material". Naruto then gave him his nickname "pervert-sennin". Although he is kinda stupid and funny, he truly is a master ninja. He teaches Naruto to control his 2 chakras and to summon frogs.

As such, Jiraiya's fighting techniques are mostly defensive, His "Underworld Swamp" immobilizes a large amount of ninja's in a marsh, and his "Underworld Spines" defend him from any physical attack. He mostly relies on his summoning frogs to aid him, though he rarely summons Gama Bunta.

There might be a good reason why he specializes in defensive techniques, and that is because he a complete and utter pervert, who writes a series of books known as Icha Icha Paradise, a book Kakashi himself adores. As such, he has grown so adept at peeping he is rarely caught.
