In the vast world of Naruto, some characters have gained notoriety for their divisive actions, questionable motives, or outright villainy.
Hiruzen Sarutobi
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, initially appears as a kind and dedicated leader, deeply invested in Konoha's safety and the villagers' well-being.
Kabuto Yakushi
Kabuto Yakushi was an intriguing villain for a time, known as Orochimaru’s ambitious and seemingly loyal right-hand man.
Tenten
Tenten is often considered one of the most forgettable characters in Naruto, existing more as a placeholder than a fully developed shinobi.
Karin
Karin, a member of Sasuke’s unit Taka, came from the esteemed Uzumaki bloodline, sharing a connection with Naruto’s lineage.
Shizune
Shizune, the niece of Dan Kato and Tsunade’s loyal assistant, had the potential to be a standout character, especially given her long-standing tutelage under Tsunade.
Rasa
Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, stands out as one of the most detestable characters in Naruto. As a husband and father, he was a complete failure.
Ino Yamanaka
Ino is often viewed as a second-rate version of Sakura, with little to distinguish her character in the early parts of Naruto. In Part One, she comes off as shallow.
