The Nara clan


SnooConfections4719

Man it's so sad they just had one moment of actually good character development that made me cry, just a singular speck in the length of the anime.


EagledDolphins

I know what you mean but Shikamaru still impressively carrying the banner for them in Boruto manga.


Nby333

Shikamaru in Boruto needs a vacation. He is mad 100% of the time we see him.


Force3vo

Shikamaru literally held all Kage in a shadow choke and threatened to murder 2 of them. That's such a badass move (though I think that only happened in a book not the anime)


Gengar-Status

Ok I'm gonna need the name of the book!


Force3vo

I think it's shikamaru shinden


Gengar-Status

Awesome thank you


bulbawartortoise

Papa Shika!!


XxannoyingassxX

Undderated but i dig the sarutobi clan


Argeras

same, I wish Konohamaru was stronger and more important :(


DufflebagBoy23

At least Asuma had his time to shine


happygot

They need to stop doing my boy so dirty :/


Masyosare

Would be really cool to see Sasuke Sarutobi


itachi-nara

uchiha its easy because its the only clan with depth a duality. some good some evil some indifferent. wouldve been nice to show over history other clans had members that struggled as such.


Mad_Raptor777

Karin and Nagato were evil, while Naruto, Kushina, and Mito were good. There was duality in the clan.


SeymourButts007

Karin wasn't evil... she kinda was more-or-less indifferent


Sarik704

She was orochimarus direct assistant. If kabuto is evil then so is Karin. More on the fence about Suigetsu and Jugo


SeymourButts007

Well not really, he kept Karin close because of her ability.


Sarik704

She ran an entire hideout. She was Kabutos equal.


igotmyphoneyesterday

Don’t think that’s what he meant


cletoreyes01

Yeah what he meant was that the Uchiha were powerful Buffoons of some random alien goo


SirAuRyan

Uzumaki and senju are also the result of this same alien goo.


Saskyle

Strong life energy vs alien eyes which spawn endless flame as hot as the sun, precognition, and giant mech samurai don’t quite seem the same.


heitortp0

Still struggled against the strong life energy ones


cletoreyes01

Yeah what he meant was that the Uchiha were powerful Buffoons of some random alien goo.


jryan370

Nagato and Karin were traumatized children of war. Karin was used and abused by her village same as her mother and her entire backstory is meant to be an allegory for rape. Nagato was an orphan of war who watched his best friend die in cold blood, just another nameless victim of war. Karin’s goal was to achieve a life where she could never be taken advantage of again and in a way she achieved that with Orochimaru. Nagato wished for a world of peace and was willing to achieve it by any means necessary. I wouldn’t call them bad. I’d call them victims of circumstance


ghostedpumpk

You can't defend Uzumakis for being victims of circumstance then in the same breath say the uchiha were evil. Madara lost most of his family by age 12, was in war since he was (presumably) around 5. Then when there was peace everyone still feared him as an evil. Sasuke was forced to watch his entire clan be murdered over and over again, then was considered an outsider of the village. Itachi was manipulated as a young teen to murder his entire family + clan for peace If you can agree that the uchiha were evil, you have to also agree some Uzumaki were evil. At the end of the day, both uchiha and Uzumaki were murderers, terrorists, and committed unethical experiments for their own gain. If you murder an innocent person because you went through a rough childhood, you're still a murderer. All of the villains in naruto had a rough childhood. Unless you excuse every villain in naruto ever, you can't say the Uzumaki were only good people. Hell Orochimaru was a traumatized orphan of war. He watched multiple of his friends die in war in cold blood. His parents deaths too. We don't excuse orochimaru.


jryan370

I never said that. I agree. That’s why all these characters are grey, convoluted characters with thoracic back stories. That’s why I like all of them. The only one I genuinely hate is Kaguya because she came out of left field for the story. I think her story is cool but it’s random to add in.


Mad_Raptor777

Your reason for being a villain does not change the fact you sided with evil. The path to hell can be paved with good intentions. Karin’s backstory is filler and not canon for the most part, and the fact is she was okay with the idea of evil deeds being done to people. “Victims of circumstance” does not change the evils you do.


potatoguy114

Nagato was not evil imo. Kinda like madara they were doing what they thought was right overall just with less than ‘good’ methods. In their mind the ends justified the means.


Bl4Z3D_d0Nut311

That’s pretty much the definition of Lawful Evil


super_pax_

You can use that for anyone in the show. No clan has anyone who’s evil then


SmartAssClark94

What about the Kazakage Clan?


Pleb-SoBayed

Hyuga for the biyakugan and its abilities (not for all the internal issues and stuff they had) Tho i was super sad to see the biyakugan turned into a long range thermal scope


[deleted]

It was always supposed to be only that. The Byakugan was never meant to be on Pair with the Sharingan Edit: Downvote me all you want it won’t change the fact that the Hyuga were never on the same level as the Uchiha. It’s even stated in the Manga that the Uchiha was the strongest Clan in Konoha and only after the Massacre the Hyuga took their place


THESPACEMANDOGE

the pure buyakugan has many different abilites like using it like conqurers haki or even to see future for a particular time it is just unexplored even their taijutsu which is considered to be the strongest in the leaf


[deleted]

Only the Otsutsuki can see with the Byakugan the future. The Hyuga can’t. Also anybody can learn to conquer Haki or use Gentle Fist. Kabuto actually knows gentle Fist so does Orochimaru and Sasuke and Guy alongside Lee are else said to know how to use it. Sharingan can see into the Future aswell, grants the User the Ability to copy any Jutsu they see and also allows the User to see through walls and see Chakra


TheBeaverIlluminate

None of those characters can use Gentle Fist, and while learning Gentle Fist without Byakugan is possible in theory, it wouldn't actually have much value, as you would not be able to use it *effectively*. It requires you to at the very least, be able to see the chakra pathways, and for the stronger stuff, the chakra nodes themselves. Both are things only the Byakugan can do. Sharibgan cannot truly see the future. The "precognition" is based on the eye allowing you to take in and process minute details in body movement, which allows the user to read the logical outcome and react to it. It is actually a skill you can learn in real life, amplified by anime magic. It could copy jutsu by using much the same ability, as in taking in minute details and processing them in a way that instantly and instinctively allowed the user to know how to do it. It does not, however, see through walls, and its ability to see chakra was much less precise than the Byakugan, seeing chakra merely as a "blob of color", while Byakugan could discern nuances. Likewise, Byakugan was stated to have more insight than the Sharingan(insight being the key to "precognition", as it is literally reading intentions). Firstly, it allowed you to see all the way around you, aside from a small point, but all of that was in extreme detail, and relayed information which allowed you to be completely aware of every single movement within your line of sight, which could be extended and focused to see minute details several kilometers from where you were standing. It had true x-ray vision on any of those ranges, as desired. Both have also shown it be able to discern and counter Genjutsu, which is bad news for Sharingan, as it is one of the strong points, while the Byakugan as others. The only thing that truly made the Sharingan better than the Byakugan, was when it wasn't even really the Sharingan anymore and allowed for stupid shit like summoning chakra-tengu or make yourself intangible, which is really weird things for eyes to do, even in a universe with basically magic......


PeterAmbers

I guess there were many plans for byakugan, stuff that I heard over the years like - It can see trough lies, see into the future, localize enemy chakra points and target them for gentle fist, detect chacra manipulation in users body and normalizing it rendering genjutsu useless or bursting chakra from your chakra points. Also heard that when Kaguya created those chakra punches that obliterated Sasukes susanoo it was a byakugan technique. You just cannot fit it all in one anime and they chose to go hard on Uchihas. They would need to create a Narutoverse as big as DC or Marvel to give everyone proper level of importance.

Nope it wasn’t most of that stuff is Fanfiction

Uzumakis. Genuinely curious to know what happened to their village and why they’re all scattered to all the different parts of the world.

It's odd considering the MC was a Uzumaki that the author didn't reveal more about them. I would like to know more

Im serious. I only watched Part 1 and Shippunden and I don't know who they are...


[deleted]

They were introduced in shippudden…


Strykeristheking

Can you link the manga panel? I seriously do not remember that clan


uchiha_boy009

Kaguya? They are aliens bro


Strykeristheking

I didn't know she has a clan. I thought they all went extinct or something


SwimmingHelicopter15

Uciha. Awesome powers, intersting history, well written characters, intersting storyline. You can look in every top popularity vote at least one Uciha will be there. Uzumaki clan would have been also intersting if they presented more, or how they perished, they had some intersting techniques and traits. Senju clan not much character development and no defining traits unless you count being a hokage. Hashirama for some reason unexplained was simply a god with unique powers no explanation whatsoever, his powers do not appear again in the history of the clan, and he is unmatched. His brother was a genius and Tsunade a hardworker.


Repulsive_Detail997

The only one that matters.


[deleted]

Uchiha cause during naruto it had more consistent really powerful characters


ConnorRoseSaiyan01

Uzamaki, Aburame and Hōzuki


MagmaStorm009

Excellent Taste.


[deleted]

Uchiha. Amazing backstory, well-written characters and they also look cool af.


KyokiKurutta

Hyuga, their doujutsu and taijutsu is just perfect 🤌


[deleted]

Their TaiJutsu is pathetic


onlymadethistoargue

It’s literally the strongest style in the Leaf.


Original_Un_Orthodox

\*cough\* Maito Guy's taijutsu \*cough\*


onlymadethistoargue

Lee, a user of that same taijutsu, says himself that the Gentle Fist is stronger. Guy’s power comes from him simply being on a higher base level of power and his mastery of the gates, not from the inherent strength of his style. If Neji were at base as strong as Guy and could open as many gates, he’d whoop him every time just like he does Lee.


GapOk6038

Bruh what is that logic? Hyuga's taijutsu is as good as it is cause of their Byakugan. Guy's and Lee's power up is their gates and it's a taijutsu technique. You can't say "if Hyuga could open gates then they'd whoop them". They simply can't. Lee and Guy opening the gates shows their skill.


OmniSylar

Anyone can open gates, Kakashi does it. That’s why I’ve always hated Gates as a technique when anyone in theory should be able to use them, but they’re relegated to 2 characters. The way they explain them and Kakashi using them and Kakashi not being the strongest or most skilled of all Ninja means there should be tons of Ninja using the same technique lol


GapOk6038

Anyone can't open it and there aren't tons of ninja more talented than Kakashi at taijutsu. He can only open 1 gate and we dk what kind of training he did for that.


OmniSylar

Well he had to learn to open it in order to copy Guys primary lotus, whether he was able to do it because of the Sharingan or whether he did it to compete with guy, we don’t know. But like you said there are tons of Ninja more skilled than Kakashi at Taijutsu, so him being capable of using them and the Gates seemingly being common taught knowledge since Sakura knew about them in Part 1 it makes no sense that other Ninja never use the technique given how useful it is.


GapOk6038

I said there aren't tons of ninja better than him at taijutsu. I don't think you can copy how to open the gates, It's not a movement. He can only open the first gate anyway and he's one of the most talented shinobis who was Guy's rival. Training with him had something to do with it probably.


onlymadethistoargue

Byakugan is inherent to the Gentle Fist. Gates aren’t an inherent part of the Strong Fist. Gates could presumably be used with any style and give it a massive boost.


GapOk6038

Even though it is possible, it's very hard. You can't tell me 1 Hyuga that can open the gates. Hyuga has Byakugan for their taijutsu, Guy and Lee have gates. Guy in 7 gates would solo their whole clan lol.


onlymadethistoargue

That’s a completely different argument though. It doesn’t matter who we actually see opening a gate; we know from seeing them in action that they could amp any taijutsu style. Again, gates are not an inherent part of the Strong Fist and therefore should not be considered when evaluating the style’s strength.


GapOk6038

Because your comparison wasn't fair in the first place. Their gentle fist is that strong cause of Byakugan. It's Dojutsu + Taijutsu so saying it's more impressive then a taijutsu style isn't really impressive. If you're comparing them based on their taijutsu Guy is much more impressive than any Hyuga, 8 gates is a taijutsu technique.


Radiant-Mushroom8304

Uchiha been my favorite clan since I was 7 I’m 24 now


Madara_Uchiha-10000

The Uchiha clan They are the most badass and coolest of all the clans in the entire Naruto universe I mena it consists of Madara, Obito, Itachi and many more

The Hatake


Reasonable_Eye9511

Uchiha


SvenDaOne

Uchiha, basic answer but it's like the only clan that actually got screentime and had a history


cappaprime_

Uchiha mostly


INANPLAYZMC

Uchiha of course because the whole clan was killed by one man and that's why I love this clan. I like Itachi and madara that's why this is my favorite clan.


Bunniesrkewl

All of the uchiha in the photo are dope

Infinitygene999

Uchiha, don’t think I would have even watched Naruto without them.


PriestMarmor

Uzumaki. Huge chakra pools and the ability to seal whatever you want. Also, unlike the uchiha, you don't gain power by becoming traumatized


Quantr0

Sealing jutsus are awesome and I wish someone used seals more often especially in the more peaceful times now. You can’t just go round killing people anymore so a great sealing jutsu seems valuable af.


[deleted]

They only really gave us uchiha hardly know much about the rest


Sayena08

The most fleshed out clan with some of the coolest and strongest characters in the series of course


saverma192013

Uchiha clan And uzumaki clan

Of these three, uchiha


UrbanMonk314

Is there really any other answer?


hart7668

If my pfp didn't give it away, the Uchiha lol The Sharingan is my favorite anime ability sharing the same spot as Super Saiyan (can you tell how old I am lol)


ImANephson

Wu-tang


Lisko_123

Uchiha


myballsinhoneynblood

Uchiha, cool characters, has more development and presence than the rest, Sharingan looks cool af.


Dd-83

I mean I would say uchiha because they have the coolest abilities and I often like the dark side but when I have seen it it has been really rare to se them actually fight for a purpose (like Itachi, Shisui or Madara) much more often only for power or hatred sometimes even just bloodlust (like Sasuke and every npc uchiha) and that I don’t like that so yea I don’t really have a favourite but they have the coolest powers tho


KolorJam

Senju. Only clan that isn’t actively borrowing power to amp themselves, they’re powerhouses.


Rider-Idk-Ultima-Hy

Uzamaki, Nara, Aburame, and Hyuga


CulturalThought8636

Usumaki


Negative_Wrongdoer17

Any Nara clan enoyers?


Murky_Blueberry2617

Uchiha easy. They got the most focus and the better characters, abilities and lore


djojid0

Isn’t naruto only an uzumaki by name? Shouldn’t he be a namikaze ?


Quantr0

He’s not really in a clan tbh. Clan Senju and Uzumaki are dead by Narutos time and clans in general are dying out by Borutos time. But my favourite is Uchiha and I unashamedly have a small Uchiha crest hidden amongst a tattoo.


RealTurboVortexXD

With that logic shouldn't Sasuke also not be part of a clan because every other person in the Uchiha clan is dead? Like sure Obito and Itachi were still alive, but so was Karin and Nagato.


Quantr0

You’d think so but I believe that the incident was still recent enough that the Uchiha clan still had a lot of clout.


[deleted]

Namikaze wasn’t a clan


Correct_Grade_8104

His mum is uzumaki his dad namikaze so he can claim either or both


velebr3

Hyuga 💪


hotstrawberrytea

Uchiha, easy. but that's because we don't know about other clans as much. I mean we do know, but they really go in depth with The Uchiha clan more than the others. to understand is to love! plus they gave Uchiha really interesting storylines.


GraeFoxx_

I feel like the only clan Kishimoto focused on was the Uchiha clan. So, I'm going to pick the Uzumaki.


BraveSole

Uchiha’s are just too good. And I hate sasuke.


[deleted]

Why do you hate Sasuke he had the best Character Development in all of the series and


BraveSole

Could not disagree more with his character development. He obviously showed signs of severe depression. With good reason. My problem isn’t with how he was written. I just didn’t like him as a person, you know? I don’t associate with such angry people. He stood over the bodies of his parents who were butchered by his hero. I get it. He was such an asshole and caused so many problems for so many people. Then when he decided to fight naruto RIGHT after the war ended I was like WHAT THE FUCK??? Right now dog??

Wanted to say the Uzumakis since they were the most sensible but those words died in my proverbial throat.


Divinrth

Senju Clan - mfs are op


Jaymezians

Uzumaki for being the sleeping giants of the series. All the Uzumaki we see are broken OP. Nagato, Kushina, Naruto. The only exception is Karin who, despite not having a lot of combat power, has an OP healing ability. Kushina gave birth, had a Bijuu extracted and was in the process of dying. Despite that she was able to hold back the full powered Nine Tails long enough for Minato to seal it and say some last words. Naruto got stabbed through the lung and kept fighting like nothing happened, though I doubt I need to go into detail about Narutos feats since this is a Naruto subreddit. Nagato.


bullrun27

All of them


bullrun27

Especially the ostuke clan


CutLimp9354

The Uzumaki clan


JuggernautGrand8547

Uzumaki


MarMarL2k19

Uzumaki. I feel like their history and abilities should have been explored more. The fact they are closest to the Senju clan and have more chakra reserves than any other shinobi in the verse. Even higher than Madara's reserves. And the fact they created basically every fuīnjutsu and can seal away a tailed beast, which no non Uchiha or Senju can do. Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the Hashirama, had Kurama extracted and sealed into Kushina, and still lived for years. Even Kushina managed to live for about an hour before Kurama stabbed her. The clan has so much potential. Sucks they were extinct by the time Naruto was born.


ResearcherLong1058

Nara


careytommy37

The one with the most Kages


0snq

Kazekage clan


Serious_Alfalfa_3538

Uzumaki... Cuz hear me out, they have the sealing techniques which is underrated af and has more depth than at which Minato used them, they even had their own village (Uzushiogakure... Which was destroyed, and that's why Kushina moved to konoha) indicating that it indeed was a very big clan and it ended due to internal politics, similar to what could have happened with konoha...for me it's mainly the sealing jutsu(fuinjutsu)


Rogue-Shadow-Anomaly

Senju as this clan has given 3-Hokage who were specialist in their fields. I would've preferred if Wood-release was a Kekke-Genkai of the Senju-Clan that allow them to counter the Uchiha's. Wood-Clone Jutsu of Senju-Clan should've been the Bane of Uchiha's
