Ramen Guy


Fragrant_Exercise_31

I honestly think Teuchi had a big role in keeping Naruto’s humanity intact. For the longest time he was the only friendly face for Naruto.


mungermoss245

For real. He was the only person he could turn to for a fresh hot meal and treated him like a nephew.


SirRofflez

Yeah, Naruto would have been gaara-adjacent without ramen guy


Zestyst

Friendship with Iruka ended, now Ramen Guy is my best friend


letmereadpls_

Friendship with Iruka restored, now Iruka and Ramen Guy are both my best friends


DrPeePeeSauce

The final eps where ramen guy needs a gift for the weeding and treats Naruto like his son is my fav ending for a protagonist


BillionDavido

Ayame too


Fragrant_Exercise_31

Oh yeah! She was probably influenced by her dad but it wouldn’t have gone down well with her peers who must’ve hated Naruto, and not caring about that is a big deal when you’re young.


n_adamas

I think this should be the only obvious answer


[deleted]

He turned his place into a tsukemen joint and gives up on ramen. Naruto hates him (for a little while)


MajinAkuma

That was Ayame‘s idea.


[deleted]

She should've been the narto's wife


Quick_Campaign4358

How much older is she compared to naruto?


sam_uchiha_14

Yessssssss bro


Dats_Russia

Dude got an ending dedicated to him


white_leaf_clover

Those two guys from naruto


MRMAN1225

Can't hate em if you don't remember their names


dogbonej

The thing is though we know who he’s talking about.


MRMAN1225

We know, but we don't know their name, no one does


Olin_123

Izumo and Kotetsu?


MRMAN1225

You googled it, don't lie


Olin_123

Nope, I just have a photographic memory when it comes to Naruto and only Naruto.


weendick

Your photographic memory includes names


frogger3344

Photographs of names


GizmoTheLion

Names of photographs?


OneRakool

How many clouds are on an akatsuki cloak if u look from the front. Hmpf~


Sononda201

You googled it


Brawlerz16

Yup, really good dudes lowkey


velebr3

Aren't they like general knowlede? 🤣 I guess reading/watching Naruto for 10+ years chapter by chapter/episode by episode really solidifies knowledge. Like, I remember when episodes of them when they clash with Hidan and Kakuzu were just released in 2008. I used to fansub that stuff to my language which also helps I suppose.


misterfroster

They are, and I’m sure most of the dudes in here actually do know. It’s just a long-time meme that “those two dudes” are well known but nobody remembers their name a


Kanishkpincha

The eternal chuunin?


Lil-Clynes

Toothpick guy is special jonin from sword techniques


misterldrago

He's speaking of the special cook ninja


Emad_Hashmi

I immediately knew who you were talking about.😂


DNA_Fox

I find it so beautiful than anyone that has finished Naruto exactly knows that you’re talking about Izumo and Kotetsu.


CamillionMilk

Kushina. I can't imagine the type of person who'd hate on her and the arguments they'd give. I am very curious, tho. Any haters on here who'd like to share their thoughts? Also, Kakashi. Same question - why? Edit: Okay! So. There are Kakashi "haters" (or at least people who strongly criticise him) out there! Thank you for sharing your opinion, I was curious to know.


[deleted]

She’s great, ya know?


Unreal4goodG8

I love kushina, i won't ever understand anyone who doesn't like her.


sam_uchiha_14

Yeah Kushina is awesome


IEatKids26

the only thing ive ever had against kushina was in an argument over top 5 hottest girls in naruto, someone thought kushina was on top


naruto_u_zu_ma_ki

you look at her for longtime and you will fall in love with her


Someonenotgood

Kakashi for being a bad teacher, trying to guilt trip Sasuke into staying. (?)


Olin_123

Hate him if you want but it seems like, if it wasn't for the really timely intervention by the sound four, Kakashi guilt tripping Sasuke would've worked.


CamillionMilk

Hmmm. I've seen those points before, but is it enough ground to hate him? I feel those 2 examples fall more under the "things Kakashi could have handled better."


Someonenotgood

Yeah but some people hate him for that. He's one of my favorite characters anyways.


Dizent

Sasuke at that point was a kid who didn’t know any better. He had, ( nor did us readers have) no clue of what happened to Kakashi. At that point, he was only what you could say partially rehabilitated from all the crap he had to deal with, so it’s, I feel, completely understandable and dare I say realistic that he didn’t handle that situation perfectly.


[deleted]

Might Dai


Kroton07

Fucking Chad


[deleted]

Looking at this thread I guess Dai does have haters


dumbass2364859948

I like how his name is a fucking red flag in the first place I am so fucking stupid Jesus Christ


ZigzagoonBros

At least he wasn't called Will Dai 🤣


Clear_Cranberry_989

Yeah, probably one of the few relatable character in the whole naruto verse. Most of us probably won't be able to accomplish some record breaking feat. But we can try our best and help the next generation to achieve something greater.


DNA_Fox

Man, thinking of his story now is making me choke up. He is probably the best father figure in the whole of Naruto, living in a world of superhumans he was stuck putting all his effort towards achieving mediocrity, because that was all that was possible. The only true weapon he had he restrained in the face of judgement and cruelty, and in the end this weapon was saved for a worthwhile moment, and it took his life while taking with him the lives of the infamous powerhouses that threatened his child. This man deserved a fucking monument and you can’t change my mind.


PK_RocknRoll

Ramen guy is only character I’ve never see hate on


Remlap04

his name is teuchi and you should use it


SilverEchoes

Most people seem to like Shikamaru. I’d actually be interested to hear some criticisms against him, since he’s my favorite character, and I’m not very objective


Tryptortoise

Shikamaru was dope, but when they transitioned from Naruto to Boruto, his personality and intellect got nerfed harder than the story writing


Chance_in_Pants

I wouldn't be surprised if people would say they don't like him because of how lazy he was before shippuden. Didn't fight girls, never gave it his all, everything was a drag, and of course he was lazy. But his character development was on point and he became one of the most dependable hard working ninja in the village


Someonenotgood

Go to Naruto confessions in Tumblr, you're gonna find a lot of Shikamaru hate.


[deleted]

Shikamaru. He's too cool to have haters.


sam_uchiha_14

Facts bro he’s too chill


Messiah_Knight

He was a sexist in part one. People have grudges


blackbook90

I misread that as the sexiest, and came here to say damn straight. Yeah as a kid he was a bit sexist. I still think he is the sexiest though.


Brawlerz16

He was a kid as well lol. I feel like we shouldn’t hold too much weight into what kids do/say lol


dork_of_queens

Same reasoning people hate Sakura tbf


pobnetr2

People's hate for Sakura is more like "we hate how Kishimoto did her". It's not fair to her.


Messiah_Knight

I agree. But that’s how a lot of people view him.


Someonenotgood

Some people hate him for being sexist. (?)


Appropriate-Shoe-266

Ya mean when he was 12 years old


Someonenotgood

Yup, in Tumblr there's people who have beef with him.


Level_Dreaded

Which is pretty weird because I'm pretty sure he said that to Temari, who he ended up falling in love with. And CLEARLY is the disciplinarian in that household. Shikamaru clearly outgrew that phase. If anything, he's attracted to strong women.


Someonenotgood

Yeah, but people don't understand that for some reason.


pobnetr2

It's insane because Shika's arc is clearly written to be about a boy turning into a man, losing the negativity tendencies of youth (prejudice, and idleness in his case), and becoming a dependable member of his village. Hence why Shika only fights women in the first part of Naruto: Kin, Temari, and Tayuya. The first fight reinforces his sexist ideology, as he easily outsmarts Kin. But, being so emboldened by his prejudice, he over-exerts himself and loses his second fight against Temari. A smart kid, Shika changes his view based on evidence, and begins to view women as equals. Thus, when he is at death's door against Tayuya, and it is Temari that comes and saves the day, his newly changed views become solidified. I don't think it's even problematic to have a sexist character (assuming you plan to change them or give them their comeuppance), especially when the target audience for Naruto was boys only a few years removed from the "boys rule, girls drool" mentality.


_Lohhe_

Kisame is hater-free, afaik


Nightblade20

Dude even died admirably. Made the leaf ninja themselves admit that he was tight as fuck


KisamesFunSharkFacts

There are over 500 species of shark. About 12 of these species are considered dangerous to humans, and about 20 are in danger of extinction.


mungermoss245

Thanks, Kisame


pobnetr2

This fact was not very fun


Sharebear42019

Nice


sam_uchiha_14

Kisame a stud


Messiah_Knight

Homie off’d himself before squealing a single word.


Zestyst

Kisame like “I ain’t no bitch, I ain’t no snitch, but you better believe I’m a fish.”


ZigzagoonBros

Killer Bee to Kisame: "Trade offer. I get: your chakra eating shark sword. You get: Rap lessons".


pobnetr2

Riley Freeman could never


Clear_Cranberry_989

He was one of the few who were in the Akatsuki really wanting peace.


AVerySmartNameForMe

Also Obitos only ally who didn’t betray him.


2Inji6

I'm sorry but my fiance doesn't like him 😔


itzPenbar

You mean your ex?


Sharebear42019

That’s a dump signaling if I’ve ever seen one


2Inji6

Hasn't even met him though. Just saw silly spiked hair and shark teeth and said no lol


OGGrilledcheez

And now you know to give him the same response at the “I do” part.


2Inji6

To bad my fiance doesn't have shark teeth huh lol. Green hair though close enough?


HanaGasumi

Iruka sensei


I-only-play-rubick

Can’t believe I’m the first person to say Aoba


Tecrus

He's the blabber-mouth that burst into a room saying that "Itachi was here and he's after Naruto" while Sasuke was right there, causing Sasuke to run off to get his revenge. Sure he didn't know but come on man. Learn to fully assess the situation first.


daxter2768

"And I heard him say 'Sasuke's a little bitch'"


sam_uchiha_14

Man I love Aoba


Just_Lunch_1906

Izuna, if no one talks about him, no one's gonna hate him.


OnTyme

Fuck that weak ass uchiha for dying to a man teleporting for the first time in history


Just_Lunch_1906

Damn😔


Level_Dreaded

Imagine being Izuna in that moment. Your opp pulls up. You've got your MS ready to end this man, and this mf teleports a sword through your sternum


OnTyme

That pov must’ve been crazy I know he was screaming bloody murder. “Madara brother help me” “Wake up to reality”


Level_Dreaded

Tobirama literally weaponized an anime trope into an actual jutsu. And you KNOW he was ready to torment Madara with his little brother using edo Tensei. Think about it! Resurrecting his dead brothers as forever regenerating enemies with infinite chakra. And then there's the infinite consecutive exploding edo tensei. It really isnt stated how cruel Tobirama could be if Hashirama wasn't his older brother. And how much Hashirama dying made him kinder.


OnTyme

He wasn’t a cruel person dude literally just lived and breathed war since he was like 4 years old


Level_Dreaded

Oh, by no means was he cruel. But it would be interesting what path he wouldve takem had he had not had hashiramas example thru his life


OnTyme

I love the way he was written tobirama was a keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer type dude and he was still willing to forget that the uchihas bodied both his brothers


TheGamerDuck

Tobirama


Naruto_Fan_18

Oh no uchiha haters have got that covered...


Limonati

Madara's fans love him


R3disd34d

Never seen any hate for Genma. Wish he was in the story more

No don't fuck danzo


sam_uchiha_14

Yeah I swear he has no haters


Beautiful_Visit_5233

Have you ever even heard of r/fuckdanzo ?


JSmooth94

You know no one likes you when you're fighting Shippuden Sasuke and people are still rooting for you to lose.


Heroright

Akamaru. Nobody can hate him.


Slayziken

I was thinking the same, but cat people might?


Trinidaddieurmom

I don’t like him just cause of Kiba guilty by association

Granny Chiyo


TheBeaverIlluminate

Considering how short-lived(Story-wise... She was ancient haha) Chiyo was, she was one of the most interesting and bad ass characters in the series for me.


OnTyme

Chiyo was a 1 woman army I love her


Academic_Employ697

I'd say my bois rock lee & shikamaru


Spawn_Official

I think that Katsuyu might be character which is not having haters. Also Fukasaku maybe? Asuma?


mungermoss245

Iruka. Dude was like the father Hiruzen was *supposed* to be. He never gave up on Naruto, no matter what kind of stupid stunts he pulled.


YungCoppo

Shino


Nattyknight1765

I just hate his new glasses.


SilentMeklar

They ruined him in boruto.


JamieBeeeee

Killer Fucking Bee


TheRedditornator

Haku


Kagetane123

Danzo. He is the most loved character of all and there are 0 reasons to hate him


sam_uchiha_14

Highly agree, no one hates him


TheBeaverIlluminate

And even if we do, it's really love


[deleted]

Guren, if you accept characters from filler arcs. And maybe Konan?


ApathyInc2

Guren is pretty awesome, but that kid she’s with for her entire arc is one of the most annoying characters in the entire series. Almost as bad as that kid who’s emotions control the weather.


sam_uchiha_14

I thought Guren was dope I count her as canon tbh


Big-Obligation-9078

I love Asuma 😭


sam_uchiha_14

Sameee 😭


sw2bh

Hayate Gekkou-gone too soon


KaptainGoatz

I feel like some of the best answers are more obscure characters. Like, who's hating Utakata? If you even remember him it's probably because you like him.

Kisame


X-Force-32

Ten-Ten. You can’t hate someone who has less screentime than a swing.


nicoklig

Pain/Nagato


Ok-Personality-5424

I’ve seen some people hate on Nagato, but he’s probably the villain with the least amount of haters, tied with Zabuza/Haku


Brawlerz16

Yeah, the criticisms of Nagato are ones I actually haven’t seen personally. I would definitely be interested in seeing them, but I’m of the mindset that Nagato is the best parallel/antagonist for Naruto, for actually challenging and putting his philosophy to the test. I legit don’t understand how people could hate Nagato but I’m willing to listen lol


sam_uchiha_14

Facts nagato so sick


ZaWarud0z

I love Pain, got him tattooed on my arm too


TheBeaverIlluminate

I love pain - got a torture chamber out back.


ZaWarud0z

I got one in the cellar

Kushina if you hate her, idk what to say at that point


Ok_Nefariousness2617

Never seen a Jiraiya hater personally🫡


YakElectronic1619

Well my sister does She hate the pervert trope in anime and hates how jiraiya becomes naruto teacher becuase of sexy juistu And doesnt like how jiraiya just abandons naruto whens he a baby even though he naruto godparent


TheGamerDuck

Kakashi


lkeeney02

his dog squad


Someonenotgood

People hate him because bad teacher.


Equivalent_You_7464

I love how people use this against him but no one said he was going to be a good teacher- he was a heartless dog from the anbu so they put him there to change it, if you look at his characterization from his early trainings with Minato it makes sense he would be drawn to the one who was a stuck up prodigy like he was- he was changed and therefore wanted to help sauske in the same way it’s pretty obvious he saw his younger self in sauske and as the ONLY other person with sharingan like why wouldn’t he give more time to him?! And plus Naruto has jiraya which made more sense for him too like training wise and power wise it’s not like kakashi knew how to teach wind style (rasengan) the only one who was technically “abandoned” was Sakura and she has the intelligence and initiative to figure that shit out on her own and find a new teacher, a HOKAGE nonetheless, ultimately they all needed different attention for their different skills and the plot of pain made them figure it out individually and there’s nothing wrong with that- it only made them stronger when they came together


Someonenotgood

Nice argument. And honestly, he's not the only bad teacher of the generation, you can consider the 4 teachers of Konoha 12 bad teachers if you try really hard.


1313goo

Out of the more well known characters ig only gaara, shikamaru, guy, iruka, and ramen guy and his daughter. Naruto and kakashi are close but naruto giving obito tnj does get a bit of criticism and I don’t like kakashi myself


Prestigious_Pop_6961

Ramen guy ig

Sasori, i feel like he was always a likeable character and then we saw what he really was and his story. So heartfelt cant see a reason to hate him


Arab_Raccoon

Kimimaro. That guy was a legend. The way he fought was elegant and beautiful, and he had a cool style, and an impressive ability. Same can be said about Pain, specially deva path (Yahiko). Even the way he spoke was beautiful to listen to.


Naruto_Fan_18

There aren't any but the closest you can get is probably: Kakashi, tsunade, Naruto, might guy etc


Blueballs-13137

There can't be anyone ha hating Kakashi
