Best Naruto / Naruto Shippuden Characters

The Top Ten
1 Itachi Uchiha Itachi Uchiha is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Itachi Uchiha is the most complex character in the Naruto story, and he is also surprisingly realistic. He started the story as a badass villain and turned into a tragic character after one of the greatest plot twist in fiction. Regarded a prodigy since childhood, this idealistic man gets caught up in a political struggle between his clan and his village, forcing Itachi to sacrifice his family and his honor in an attempt to assure a safe future for both sides he's loyal to. An extremely intelligent and forward-thinking ninja, Itachi is also a natural fit to educate the watcher.

A young and promising boy who sacrificed everything, deceived everyone till the end, loved his country more than his clan, who accepted hatred in place of love, disgrace in place of honor and pain in place of peace so that others would live peacefully, a man way beyond his time, way more intelligent than others...
Damn. I just don't know how to describe him. There are no words worthy of describing him!

There is something about this dark mysterious guy, a talented shinobi with the power of the mangakuyo sharingan, one who sacrificed everything for the sake of the hidden leaf he is konoha's dark knight he is a hero Konoha deserves but didn't need at that point the one who took the burden of all that hatred even after sacrificing everything for people of hidden leaf, he is obviously the best one.The person whom the society forces us to hate,surprisingly we find most of motivation from them.

Coolest character in the show. His story is the biggest plot-twist in the series, I was as much as surprised as Sasuke when I heard it the first time from Obito. Very different from all the other characters, thanks to his wisdom and thinking outside the box, that makes him quite a refreshment compared to the others. I always thought he needed more screentime!

2 Deidara Deidara is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, which consists of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles.

Artistic, very smart and strong, hyper, amusing when he's with Sasori, what's there not to like? He's an Akatsuki member at only 19 too! Not to mention cute :3

Why do I love him so much? He's one of the few completely unsympathetic villains in this show, but I love it. His twisted vision and obsession of art is very interesting, and I can't take my eyes off of any scenes he's in.

My favorite, the handsome artist with long ornamental hair, he's enjoyably crazy and an exciting fighter.

I really like Deidara's personality. He has cool and relaxed attitude, never losing his smirk even while fighting an intense battle or when being bamed by his partner. Deidara is actualy strong, he become an Akatsuki member when he was 19! He has unique ability and that's makes him so interesting. I like Deidara so much! He is my favorite Akatsuki member!

3 Yahiko

Yahiko is THE BEST EVER! Bring him up higher!

#1 best AKATSUKI member

4 Obito Uchiha Obito Uchiha, also known by his alias Tobi, is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, which consists of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles.

Enigmatic, cold and cunning character in Naruto. His kamui is unique and pretty useful. His durability is attributed by the fact half of his body is replaced by Hashirama cells and speeds up the regeneration process. Totally awesome character with a tragic past if not intensely moving moment.

Obito is tho most complex and interesting character I've known in Naruto. Not to mention his past and motivations were so fascinating yet so tragic that make his character difficult to scrutinized and I find his loyalty to Rin a lot frustrating. She seemed like bland character and up to no good. I've no idea why Obito fell for her in the first place it's truly a mystery.

Obito was a tragic character. A hero who sacrificed himself to save his comrades. It was so sad how he was being manipulated by Madara and died twice for saving Kakashi. He is by far the best and compelling character in Naruto series.

5 Sasori of the Red Sand Sasori is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

He's cute! How can he not be in the top 10s? You have to admit, Sasori's fight with Sakura and Chiyo was pretty cool. His back story was also pretty sad and he let himself get killed for the affection of his parent puppets.

Honestly, I don't see what's there to not like. He's sexy as hell too!

He's so cute and he has a sad background story, so you gotta feel sorry for him. He's also a great puppeteer. He definitely made Naruto worth watching. I will miss you, Sasori!

6 Minato Namikaze Minato Namikaze was the fourth Hokage of Village Hidden in the Leafs and the man responsible for sealing the nine-tailed demon fox inside Naruto Uzumaki when he was born. Doing so cost him his life, and before dying he asked that the villagers not see Naruto as the monster within him, instead wanting ...read more.

Best, coolest. Intelligent and calm leader. Always made the right decision and was a very brave ninja.

He's so cool and the best shinobi ever
He is very strong and cannot be defeated by any shinobi
That's why I like him so much

He is the strongest Kage to have ever existed and he is also the fastest ninja of all time.

The top. I have an emotional feeling whenever he is mentioned. A person who sacrificed himself for his son and wife and probably he was one of the most predictable

7 Hashirama Senju Hashirama Senju is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. He was a legendary shinobi who led the Senju clan prior to and after forming Konohagakure with his rival, Madara Uchiha. After the founding of Konoha, he became the First Hokage.

Hashirama Senju was considered by both Madara Uchiha and several Konoha shinobi as the most powerful ninja of his time. He was greatly respected by every shinobi during his life, such that Madara claimed Hashirama was the one person whom he respected the most as well as hated. He knew how to perform a vast number of jutsu, and was otherwise knowledgeable of those he could not, as indicated by creating the Scroll of Seals and his familiarity with Summoning: Impure World Resurrection. His prowess and abilities were so great that he was able to not only fight on equal footing with Madara despite the power of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and having the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox at his side, but also survive the battle and gain victory in the end.

Nothing beats his title as "God of Shinobi"

Hashirama was great just hagoromo (six paths) is the shinobi god

8 Jiraiya Jiraiya is a fictional character in the Naruto anime and manga series created by Masashi Kishimoto. Introduced in the series' first part, he was a student of Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and one of the three "Legendary Sannin" along with Orochimaru and Lady Tsunade, his former teammates.

Jiraiya and Itachi are tied for strongest characters in the series. The fact that he doesn't come from any powerful family or anything of the sort makes his character all the better.

Jiraiya should be in the top 5 of this list

9 Tobi/Madara Uchiha

Madara has the ultimate eternal mangekyou sharingan eye and a mysterious power that allows him to teleport anywhere.. Not to mention his incredible awareness of still being alive over a century.. And on top of that he is still the most powerfully feared foe around... So my personal favorites are Madara and Itatchi Uchiha

He is cool, mysterious, intelligent, con-man, he was so excellent at decieving that in the end, he even deceived the most powerful character 'Madara', and he deceived the whole world into the 4 war. He was being able to control nine-tails just by looking at him at the age of 13 and and gave one hell of a fight to minato.

Tobi is obito! Madara rocks he is the best hip and cool good looking scary mysterious intelligent the best character in Naruto series good looking

Madara and obito have the coolest jutsus ever so why the hell they are not first! I guess there are others who still haven't reach madara and obitos episodes

10 Kisame Kisame Hoshigaki is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, which consists of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles.

Kisame is the best water stylist in the world by how he can summon sharks by his side to attack his enemy and how he can take away anyones chakra by a swing of his sword, so I hope kisame gets put in the top 10 spots.

The Contenders
11 Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
12 Konan Konan is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, which consists of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles.

Strongest character in Naruto and their is prove

13 Naruto Uzumaki Naruto Uzumaki is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Naruto is the nicest and most misunderstood ninja. He has the power of the 9 tails fox and is son of the 4th hokage He is the best Ninja always willing to help a friend he is the best ninja in Naruto by far.

Best Character Ever! I mean the way he is so outgoing, funny and friendly. He never gives up when it comes to his friends and he is getting stronger. Awesome shinobi

He's the title character, of course I love him. I can see why villains will preform a face-heel turn after talking to him, because he's just so likable. Naruto is one of the best shonen jump heroes in my opinion, because even though he seems stupid, and only wins through brute force, he does pull off many intelligent moves.

He perfected the rasengan and can use the jinchuriki power. Naruto has massive strength and great strategy.

14 Rock Lee Rock Lee is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Rock lee top 10 because rock lee super storngest in taijutsu and eight gates

Best character in Naruto

15 Hidan Hidan is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, which consists of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles.

His relationship with Kakuzu and the way he carries himself is awesome, very funny yet dangerous character. The fact that he is immortal is ridiculous but his contribution to the shows comic side is irreplaceable.

How can you forget him... He is the most humorous character... Always talking non sense... But a treat to watch... And yes he is IMMORTAL...

He's funny I guess. But I will always hate him for killing Asuma. He's also very dumb.

16 Kankuro Kankuro is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Is this a troll?

17 Pain/Nagato

Pain is awesome he has the renigan I think that's how you spell it however pain has been through so much which even makes him more stronger if pain wasn't so nice he would still be alive in the naruto shippuden series!

I love pain, I like his style and his jutsu.

18 Kakashi Hatake Kakashi Hatake is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. In the story, Kakashi is the teacher of Team 7, consisting of the series' primary characters, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno.

He's always there when we need him to save the day and make that scene that much brighter. He taught and was taught by the best next in line for hokage his talent rubbed off on his student which were crap to start with plus he's the most developed character in the seris.

He is awesome shinobi, he have the sharingan in one eye, he's haircut and the color of it is great and it looks perfect with the jounin leaf shinobi wear, his have a lot strategy. The BEST!

My favorite character in Naruto Shippuden...When he comes in battle always brings something new and suprising Attacks...

The most subtle and well written character here

19 Tobirama Senju Tobirama Senju is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Made shadow clone jutsu and minato's time space jutsu as well as the imperfect world reanimation jutsu and had most powerful water release in the series

20 Kabuto
21 Izuna Uchiha
22 Might Guy Might Guy is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Very powerful and works hard.. Also a caring teacher.. If kakashi is there he must

23 Hayate Gekko
24 Neji Hyuga

He must be in the top 10, come on!

25 Sage of Six Paths (Rikudo Sennin)

Also known as the legendary Rikudo Sennin who founded the arts of ninjutsu and started the ninja world. He was said to have been the only shinobi to have fully mastered the Rinnegan, allowing him to manipulate all six types of nature chakra. He is revered as one of the most legendary figures in the Naruto universe, and is most likely the most powerful ninja that ever existed. Having the Ten-Tails’ power contained within him, the Sage developed immeasurable power and chakra that far surpassed all of his peers. Even on his deathbed, the Sage was able to employ his Chibaku Tensei technique on a massive scale and use that chakra to create the moon and seal the body of the Ten-Tails within it, a clear testament to his incredible power. Even Nagato stated that his power paled in comparison to that of the Sage.
