Top 10 Most Evil Naruto Villains

Which baddie do you think is the best or worst in the anime series Naruto?
The Top Ten
1 Orochimaru Orochimaru 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.

Orochimaru is the most sadistic experimenting on other people messing with kids minds and basically being a not nice person, I have hardly started watching Naruto but I read fabric because although I don't like a lot of the characters the potential their is amazing.
But anyways Orochimaru is like THE bad guy the rest are just ninjas, Being a sneaky guy and betraying people is the norm in the ninjas world and besides most bad guys just brood not evil I mean power hungry... yeah
Evil... compared to a whole village being built upon ninJason doing missions, villages that have kids learning how to kill at a young age... no, well I don't think so

Besides Orochimaru is bad ass, if he stopped all the talking before his fights that is

2 Madara Madara Uchiha is a fictional manga and anime character in the Naruto series created by Masashi Kishimoto. He appears for the first time in "Part II" of the manga and the Shippuden anime adaptation, as a major villain.

Madara is the most definitely the most evil of all the Naruto villains. This guy is actually a bit scary. He uses all the people around to get ahead and tries to send Sasuke and more than likely Pain/Nagato into evil villains to get himself more power. He can act any part to allow for other to truth him and for the love of God, the man is immortal without having to steal other people's bodies.

I would have picked Pain or Orochimaru but I didn't for a coupe reasons. Pain is just a massively power human being bent on revenge, much like every other villain on this show and he had a very troubled past like every character on this show.

The reason I didn't pick Orochimaru is because as the show went on he somewhat got more and more annoying and less threatening, mainly because so many other villains arose that seemed more interesting and more threatening than him.

3 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.

If you are going to be the most evil Naruto Villain, killing one of the Sarutobi clan would be the eyeopener. Orochimaru killed Sarutobi sensei, and Hidan killed his son. He's one of the only Akatsuki to actually kill a named heroic character that stays dead, and he is far more sadistic than any other villain in Naruto. He gets no redemption either, compared to every Naruto Villain. So really, why isn't he number 1, or at least number 2? Is it because he's not a villain sue, or Uchiha? At this time.

If there is a truly evil character in Naruto, that would be Hidan. He wants nothing other than killing people and offering them to his one and only beloved Jashin-sama. While not the most powerful amongst the Akatsuki, his psychotic rants, maniacal laughs and weird speechs made me fall in love with this character. The unlikely partnership between Hidan and Kakuzu is also a great source of entertainment for the audience.

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

This character made this whole plot... he manipulated Madara, and Madara manipulated Obito... also Zetsu tricked whole Uchiha clan, manipulated Indra, gave him sharingan, made him stronger...
he manipulated whole ninja history

Black Zetsu was responsible for everything the Akatsuki has done. He tricked Madara into tricking Obito so he can complete the infinite tsukyomi and bring Kaguya, the strongest villain, back.

Black Zetsu was the one who used everyone in Naruto Shippuden including Indra, the akatsuki, Madara, and the uchiha clan.

5 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.

Honestly just a stupid character, too inept in thought to logically and rationally respond to his life experiences. He makes Sasuke seem rational. Whereas other villains in the show had sensible reasons for acting as they did, Obito does not. The death of one person whom he was irrationally fixated with somehow led him to become a mass murderer without remorse, but at least after killing all those people over the years he comes to the realisation that there was an error in his logic and that he went about making the world a better place in the wrong manner. Lol. He sucks.

6 Danzo Danzō Shimura 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.

When it came to motivation it's either him, Hidan, or arguably Orochimaru. Everyone else had at least a justifiable motivation on why they did what they did. Madara, Obito and Nagato all want to achieve world peace. Kabuto, want to become someone meaningful. Itachi trying to protect the village. Kisame want to break the corrupt goverments. Black Zetsu want to bring back his mother. Even Kaguya, if you count the fillers, also want want world peace and technically her entire motivation is to take back what's hers.

Other than that Hidan impacts is just not comparable to this guy. Orochimaru's although the similar impact, is getting a change of heart in the end. Besides that Danzo was tied to the creation of almost every other villains in the verse except Madara and Kaguya.

7 Nagato Nagato (Also known by his alias "Pain") is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

The Best villains are the ones who strike the perfect balance between Intimidating and Intriguing. Pain manages to balance these two traits perfectly. He is every bit as ruthless as he is intelligent, but what makes him really stand out is that despite all his power he is still human. He makes mistakes, can be surprised and can even be tricked. Like when Hinata fought him in the anime and she choose to break the rods that where holding Naruto down instead of fighting Pain directly like she did in the Manga Pain was clearly surprised by her actions but instead of panicking he quickly adapted and forced her away from Naruto.

That's something you don't that often in villains in any series, who manage to always stay one step ahead of the heroes and are almost never surprised and as a result many of them boarder on the edge of becoming a villain sue. But not Pain, he is extremely powerful and intelligent but his not invincible or omnipotent which makes him more human which helps to not only make him a better villain but a better character. And that's something so few villains ever manage to achieve.

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

Well... He didn't almost care, when they cut Hidan's head. He, with little Hidan's help, destroyedthe Temple of ninja monks and massacred almost everyone there... Just for high bounty. Only reason why he helped Hidan with Asuma, when he cut his head, was because he wanted money. Almost killed Kotetsu, Izumo, Ino, Chouji, Kakashi. And who knows, how many peoples he killed for money? I think very much.

He is Killing people for money and he isn't afraid of hell! He is stealing people's hearts! I don't know why he is so low. Pein did it for piece, Gaara is now good, Sasuke is just stupid maniac. Kakuzu should be in top ten.

9 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.

I really like Deidara and I think that the way he died was just a cop-out. Hell, that entire fight was a cop-out! In what universe is lightning strong against earth?
Kishimoto should play some Pokémon.
I hate that he doesn't have much of a back story unlike Sasori who was in it way less and had a background and everything.
His jutsu and powers were unique to his personality traits too (hot headed, explosive etcetera)
Again, I will say I'm disappointed he ended up just another Akatsuki to get killed for no real reason.

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.

Definitely my favorite villain, killed just about everybody he knew including his boss, joining the akatsuki and being a core-member in the entire group, as well as having special abilities and unbelievable capabilities. Kisame has my vote!

He is so awesome to bad they changed his character in Shippuden and make him a CENTIPEDE!

That stupid with his fish gills... So stupid he is... I know most of you would agree with me - Aasees kaur!

The Contenders
11 Kaguya

Not my favorite villain, but she's definitely the most evil.

Madara, Obito, Nagato, Konan and Kisame wanted peace. They don't belong here.

In the end, Sasori had a change of heart. No longer a villain in my book.

The same goes for Orochimaru and Kabuto. However, Orochimaru still takes my number 2 spot, since his evils can't be committed.

Kaguya takes the number 1 spot. She used Zetsu to mess up the lives of everyone, everywhere, every time.

Easily the most evil of all. Naruto himself said that she was unreachable, unlike Madara and Obito. What she wanted was to kill everyone and turn them into an army of Zetsu. What Madera and Obito wanted was actually Nobel. They wanted to end all war and fighting... They were just deceived about how to do that. Orochimaro is second in my opinion. His reasons for doing evil are entirely self centered. He just wanted to be the smartest and strongest.

12 Zabuza Momochi Zabuza Momochi was the first major antagonist of the Naruto manga and anime series. He was an S-class Rogue Ninja from the Land of Water's Hidden Mist Village and the master and teacher of Haku Yuki.

Deserves to be higher on this list, not because of his cruelty or inhumanity, but because of how he reformed and managed to make the audience truly care about his death in the end.
R.I.P. Zabuza

Zabuza was a cruel villain who wore baggy pants a terrible crime. He was a rogue ninja from kirigakure. He had a sword that could slice a cow in half. And it took Kakashi to wound him. Impressive

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

Sasori had hard life, he was left without parent at young age (like Orochimaru). Getting his attention at puppets to not think much about others. I guess that he became an chunin at age 8 (not like in Konoha). He showed many skills, just like knowing medical ninjutsu - because how else he could turn himself into puppet or others, make poisons, and when he was alive antidotes I think. Also he was show being a great master of seals and sectrect techniques. I think his name is worth being in at least 6-7 place.

His human puppets are so creepy.

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

Kimimaro was amazing! When he versed Naruto while he was bringing Sasuke to Orochimaru, not only did it take Naruto to beat him, but it also took Rock Lee, AND Gaara just to defeat him. On top of that, he technically didn't even get defeated. Kimimaro almost killed Gaara and Rock Lee! If it weren't for his sickness, not only would he have lived longer, he probably would've joined the Taka with Jugo, and he would've killed Gaara and Rock Lee that day he versed them. Kimimaro should be higher on the list!

I loved Kimimaro! I thought he was pretty cool

15 Haku

Haku wasn't evil. He worked as Zabuza'a tool, but didn't want to kill if he didn't have to. He even tells Naruto that it's difficult for him to function properly as a shinobi; and Zabuza says that Haku was always too gentle. He was pure.

Was my first and still is my favorite character in Naruto!

16 Gato
17 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.

Yes she is strong and she will kill without hesitation but was killed by Obito all because she joined Naruto on the side of peace.

Konan is like, the ONLY female villain AND Akatsuki member.And along with Tsunade, they probably are the only two female Naruto characters with high stats in which I mean 30+.Along with Mei.Kaguya doesn't count.Anyone I'm missing?

18 Mizuki

How is Haku more evil than him? Sure, Zabuza is cruel, but he had a reason to kill the bridge builder. His boss, Gato made him do it. If Zabuza failed, he could get killed by Gato's thugs.

Tried to kill little Naruto in the first episode! Just because he contained the 9 tails.

He should be higher. He is just a plain dick

19 Hanzo
20 Kurama Kurama is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

It is the strongest animal in the animal top 1.

21 Indra Otsutsuki
22 Hagoromo Otsutsuki
23 Karin
24 Akaboshi
25 Raiga

He is the third coolest member of the 7 Swordsmen of the Mist. The coolest is Kisame then Zabuza.
