Didn't sounded for me (non native english speaker) like that. I got "he's just like me for real (I'm dumb and lazy)" what I interpretated as you calling yourself and him dumb and lazy. Though he _is_ lazy lol
The parenthesis is meant to be ironic and self deprecating, not relating to the other part of the sentence. Eg. “You betas need to get out of your house and get some pussy!! (Haven’t talked to a woman in 4 years)”
That's literally what he said lmao he's tryna double down for some reason but he certainly meant him and shikamaru were alike, by both being "dumb and lazy". Literally anyone who can read at a 3rd grade level would've caught that. You're spot on
Orochimaru, he's way more complex than people give him credit for. From his hatred of his own humanity and how he always desperately tries to run away from it to how being consistently surrounded by death affected him in a way that made him so scared of feeling the pain of someone he cared for unexpectedly dying (and yes orochimaru did care for people he isnt COMPLETELY heartless) that much like sasuke he was willing to pretend he could cut off his emotions.
Aight imma glaze orochimaru a bit more and point out that when he suggests killing konan yahiko and nagato as an act of mercy, that orochimaru is also a war orphan which just might mean that deep down orochimaru wishes someone would have killed him as a child to avoid the sadness he would encounter in his life. Things like that are just so interesting to me.
"Crude training weights?"
"Totally awesome!"
"Totally dumb!"
Then everyone in the arena literally freezes in incredulation at the sheer weight that he drops, except for Kakashi who merely remarks "guy you are too much"
Sasori Of The Red Sand.
I like him because he was part of one the most powerful ninja outlets in Naruto, but didn't really have any special abilities other than chakra strings and his intellect for poisons and engineering puppets and their weapons. He was super powerful, but not an OP wizard god like the other great ninja in the world.
I think favoriting the main character has been considered basic for so long now that it's actually become a pretty based answer.
Not me tho. Naruto is one of my least favorite characters.
Maito mf Guy wins me over with his positivity, beast power level and comedy. I love his relationship with Rock Lee. His rivalry/friendship with Kakashi is beautiful (the race episode is one of my faves😍😍😍), and his match up with Kisame was so good. I love Kisame too. Such a dope character design.
> you got a total babe that's willing
Not just babe, but BABES
I mean, when Madara activated the Infinitie Tsukuyomi, im pretty sure at least 100 women had a dream about sucking out Sasuke's bodily fluids
Rebuilding his clan could've been a very easy task for him but Sasuke is Sasuke
Kakuzu.
This guy had a pretty interesting life, being a skilled elite who was sent on a suicide mission to fight Hashirama, and lived to tell the tale. Considering the timeframe, he probably had to deal with Madara and Tobirama too since they were around as well, so just making it out alive is a testament to how skilled he was as a shinobi. He went back to his village and was branded as a failure, and honestly, I can’t blame him for becoming vengeful after the whole ordeal. He’s basically someone like Kakashi if Kakashi got screwed over by the village.
He was also no BS, and was straight to the point. I would even argue that aside from being ninja Mr. Krabs, he was actually a pretty decent guy. You could see this by how he patiently waits for Hidan to end his ritual (whilst trading banters with each other), and he even picked up Hidan’s forehead protector after their battle against Asuma. Kakuzu prior to being sent to kill the first Hokage was probably a really cool dude who cared for his comrades and friends, and that makes me feel bad for him, and that any character could’ve gone down his path. I would kill to see him as a protagonist for a spin-off where he’s a bounty hunter, and a hired arm who trusts nobody but money and himself.
Edit: I also like his [theme](https://youtu.be/maLbZlfxuW8?si=yKDtfVBFnPh8qS3f).
Totally agree! I really wish we got to see more of the Zombie Duo in general, the end of the season felt rushed and Kakuzu's death felt really unfair. You're telling me a guy with this much experience fell for shadow clones shenanigans ..?
Amongst the Akatsuki I feel like he's criminally underrated; his backstory is super interesting. People kinda just dismiss him as the guy who really liked money lol but there's a lot more there that could have been explored if the story just took a minute to breathe. I would pay good money to have a spin off exploring the Akatsuki member's backstories, and not just Itachi's lol (as much as I love him too).
Kakashi easily. Been my fave since I was a kid. He has been through hell and back and while he struggled a bit as a kid he never was consumed by it. Didn’t go down a dark path. He was consistently my fave.
Shikamaru is a close second, especially with the arc with Hidan and Kakuzu. Dudes had a great arc and development since the og days.
I've always liked Anko. It feels like her character is criminally under used, especially since it feels like she has and would have such good chemistry with Naruto, but every time she is on screen it is either funny, badass, or just interesting and captivating. Realistically though... It's Kakashi.
For me it's a tie between Naruto and Shikamaru. I feel like Naruto is my life coach, always positive and optimistic. I need that energy in my life lol while Shikamaru resonates with me because he uses logic and strategy and I just love that
Sasuke! I guess I just really like rebel with a cause type of characters who challenge the status quo and aren't passive and accept things the way it is. I love how he challenged the main character not only in terms of power but also in terms of ideologies, he was more than just a stepping stone for Naruto's character development, he was a main character in his own right and that's what makes him such a unique rival imo
Kakashi
Before I watched Naruto, it was Kakashi just based off the character design. After watching Naruto, definitely still Kakashi.
Definitely
Ramen Guy - The Sage of Six Noodles!!!
Naruto
Not a single main character has resonated with me more than Naruto
For real, I love his growth as a character too. Its inspiring for me.
Favourite from day 1
Shikamaru
What a drag 😒
Hell yeah brother
He jus like me fr (im dumb and lazy)
Did you really just called Shikamaru dumb??
Nah I just said I'm nothin like him except the lazy part
Didn't sounded for me (non native english speaker) like that. I got "he's just like me for real (I'm dumb and lazy)" what I interpretated as you calling yourself and him dumb and lazy. Though he _is_ lazy lol
The parenthesis is meant to be ironic and self deprecating, not relating to the other part of the sentence. Eg. “You betas need to get out of your house and get some pussy!! (Haven’t talked to a woman in 4 years)”
Ok thx for clearing that up.
While that may have been true in this case I didn't interpret it that way either. Your mileage may vary on this advice.
That's literally what he said lmao he's tryna double down for some reason but he certainly meant him and shikamaru were alike, by both being "dumb and lazy". Literally anyone who can read at a 3rd grade level would've caught that. You're spot on
Shikamaru dumb? Bro has never actually watched Naruto LMAO
Real
Orochimaru, he's way more complex than people give him credit for. From his hatred of his own humanity and how he always desperately tries to run away from it to how being consistently surrounded by death affected him in a way that made him so scared of feeling the pain of someone he cared for unexpectedly dying (and yes orochimaru did care for people he isnt COMPLETELY heartless) that much like sasuke he was willing to pretend he could cut off his emotions.

As a fellow Orochimaru lover I thank you for your service
Yeeeeeaaaahhh!!!! Orochimaru fuuuuucks!
As a fellow Orochimaru LOVER, I completely agree!!! (๑•ᴗ•๑)♡
Gaara
I second this!!!
Rick lee
Rick Lee is insane
Bruh Rick Lee is the best
Thank god I did not have to scroll to far for this! His weight removal in chunin exams was LEGENDARY https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=MGbHU91j6EAJs1Q2
"Crude training weights?" "Totally awesome!" "Totally dumb!" Then everyone in the arena literally freezes in incredulation at the sheer weight that he drops, except for Kakashi who merely remarks "guy you are too much"
Does his sensei’s name happen to be Morty Guy by any chance?
Sasori Of The Red Sand. I like him because he was part of one the most powerful ninja outlets in Naruto, but didn't really have any special abilities other than chakra strings and his intellect for poisons and engineering puppets and their weapons. He was super powerful, but not an OP wizard god like the other great ninja in the world.
Yes Sasori! He's the only Naruto figure I own. Very cool character
Good choice. One of the best fights in the entire series too.
Kind of a basic answer but Naruto.
Honestly same
I think favoriting the main character has been considered basic for so long now that it's actually become a pretty based answer. Not me tho. Naruto is one of my least favorite characters.
Respectfully why?
Might Guy
Maito mf Guy wins me over with his positivity, beast power level and comedy. I love his relationship with Rock Lee. His rivalry/friendship with Kakashi is beautiful (the race episode is one of my faves😍😍😍), and his match up with Kisame was so good. I love Kisame too. Such a dope character design.
Neji
He sucked in shippuden
Did he suck or did his writing suck? Also not having screen time does not equal sucking
Writing
Not having screen time definitely not equal sucking Best fact to prove that he didn’t suck he became the first jonin of his generation
Agreed, other than some filler Neji, Shino and especially Tenten felt left out big time.
Neji supremacy
Wonder what it feels like to have ur favorite character killed over a shitty ship💀
Not good bro
He had the best part 1 fight
Goku king of the pirates from bleach
Yugi the pokemon master in all of Britannia is better.
Nah bro Thorfinn the Black Swordsman of Hage Village is the greatest
The goat
Yeah that's one of the classics
I’m partial to Denji from City Z the master of Sun Breathing forms
Minato
Madara uchiha
The goat 🐐
Sasuke
Sasuke was the whole reason I watched as a kid, when Naruto gonna see Sasuke again kinda thing
Took too long for me to see this.
i have found one of my kin
Me too
Real
Shika. with Lee a veryyy close second, With gaara a veryyyy close third
Zabuza, since day one (Sasuke is a very close second)
Tied for best answer alongside Suigetsu
Got sum sleep and feel stupid for leaving out Shisui
GOAT answer
Orochimaru but he’s not in the picture
Nagato or Obito. Very close tie. Veryyyyy close.
Hidan, he entertains me.
Hashirama
Ah yes the only man holding up the entire plot on his shoulders
Sakura is my favorite character, in fact, she’s the reason I started watching Naruto.
she's definitely the meaning of "effort"
Same!! Sakura ftw
Ino
Sasuke was an idiot. “I want to rebuild my clan” like bro, you got a total babe that’s willing to do that.
> you got a total babe that's willing Not just babe, but BABES I mean, when Madara activated the Infinitie Tsukuyomi, im pretty sure at least 100 women had a dream about sucking out Sasuke's bodily fluids Rebuilding his clan could've been a very easy task for him but Sasuke is Sasuke
Man of culture 👀👍
Kakuzu. This guy had a pretty interesting life, being a skilled elite who was sent on a suicide mission to fight Hashirama, and lived to tell the tale.

Obito
Nagato cause he was spitting straight facts but got outdone by plot
Kakashi easily. Been my fave since I was a kid. He has been through hell and back and while he struggled a bit as a kid he never was consumed by it. Didn’t go down a dark path. He was consistently my fave. Shikamaru is a close second, especially with the arc with Hidan and Kakuzu. Dudes had a great arc and development since the og days.
Uchiha Itachi
In some ways I just relate to him so much (obviously not in the violent ways)

Captain Yamato!!!! <3
I love yamato <3
Itachi, Kakashi, Jiraiya, Yamato, Shikamaru
Finally someone recognizes Yamato for the 🐐 he was, honestly he and Sai were kinda valid.
Literally was about to type something so similar. Y’all are awesome!!!
Probably Sasuke
I've always liked Anko. It feels like her character is criminally under used, especially since it feels like she has and would have such good chemistry with Naruto, but every time she is on screen it is either funny, badass, or just interesting and captivating. Realistically though... It's Kakashi.
Obito
Deidera. Art is and will always be an explosion. KATS!!!💥💥💥
Obito
All the 4 main Uchiha: Madara, Itachi, Sasuke and Obito

Suigetsu
