Hard choice of Minato or Jiraiya for me. I think both are great but I guess I'll pick Jiraiya because I loved his moments of support and care for naruto.
Rock Lee and Might Guy. Have to mention both. You cannot have one without the other. Most polite and decent people, maybe par a bit of arrogance from Rock Lee towards Sasuke in the start.
He did turn out in the end, sure, but only after killing a bunch of people and not understanding or caring to understand kakashi and turning evil, I liked his character when he was younger but as an adult he grew revengeful and a douche, for that 🟧, sorry, he’s definitely not a bad character but a poor written one.
Tbh you also need to understand how Madara Steered Obito. It's shown how Kakashi had people like Jiraiay to ward off the evil that was growing inside him while Obito was being manipulated by Madara. I agree with you and I hate Obito for that as well and I don't consider it true redemption either but It wasn't Obito's fault completely.
Kurama bro he was used as a weapon for hundreds of years and when he had a small chance at freedom he was put under a genjutsu and resealed then lived all that Naruto lived through
I agree. The best antagonist is who makes you loathe him and I'm ngl I WANTED DANZO DRAGGED. I was so happy about the way he was killed. But yes, Danzo was a Leaf Shinobi till his last breath.
No one can take the place he's had in my heart. The character I hated and came to love the most out of all.
Second would be Kurama. Eventho people may view him as the demon fox spirit, Anyone would start a villain arc if they have as much power as him and are forced to go through what he went.
Third is a four way tie between Minato Namikaze, Madara Uchiha, Tobirama Senju and Might Guy and I can't rank them. I just love These characters. The design, the intellect, their attitude. Everything. Above all, these are the most badass characters in the series and have some of the best moments. Madara's "Do you want my clones to use Susanoo Or not? " Is the definition of badass.
For me it’s Naruto… his resilience, his drive, carrying the whole of Konoha on his back, sage mode, to not just controlling kyubi but coming to an understanding with Kurama. Naruto is just amazing. After Naruto I’d pick Itachi and then kakashi sensei.. before sasuke and jiraiya. My top 5 1. Naruto 2. ITACHI 3. Kakashi sensei 4. Sasuke 5. Jiraiya Ero senin..
When you think about it, not really. I mean Naruto had 2 1/2 years of “training” Naruto comes back and he isn’t all that stronger or skilled. I mean he couldn’t even form a rasengan single handedly without the use of clones.
Plus, we barely see him use anything outside of shadow clones and the rasengan for most of the series. Up until he’s training during the war, Sasuke literally bodies him in terms of skill leading up to it.
I’m a believer in he should’ve learned sage mode during the time skip, but the training was more of containing the 9 tails and chakra control and getting far away from the Akatsuki.
