Naruto Uzumaki
Species: Human
Age: 12
Gender: Male
A mischievous young boy who, due to the "stigma" of having the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed within him, is shunned by the adults of Hidden Leaf Village, since he is the "vessel" of the demon who had killed so many people in the village twelve years ago. Before he was aware of this fact, Naruto was simply a young orphan, living alone in his house, eating his "cup ramen", and basically getting attention to himself by being a brat. He would pull pranks, and vandalize monuments and statues. He even made fun of his ninja apprenticeship classes, inventing "stupid ninja skills" as "Sexy no Jutsu", where instead of transforming his appearance to look like his teacher, he turns in to a naked, blonde girl!
Naruto is not without "serious ninja skills", however. His specialty is the "Kage Bunhsin no Jutsu", learned from a forbidden secret scroll he was tricked into stealing. In contrast to the normal "Bunshin" (clone illusions) done by ordinary ninjas, the "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" produces multiple "Shadow Clones" of the user, with actual physical bodies. In short, Naruto can create real duplicates of himself and each of the duplicates can physically affect his enemies just like the real thing!
The shocking revelation about the demon sealed within him changes Naruto's perspective, however. Naruto now believes that the only way the people of the village to accept him and acknowledge him as a citizen of the village is to train hard and become the village's next "Hokage" (the highest-level ninja and leader of all ninjas in the village). This would be his new goal, and he is determined to achieve it no matter what.
Sakura Haruno
Species: Human
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Sakura, like any other teenage girl, has only one thing in mind...boys! More specifically, one boy, Sasuke Uchiha. She tries to act all sweet, prim, and proper on the outside, but we also get to see "Inner Sakura", a "darker" hidden version of her personality, whenever she makes certain comments.
As the stereotypical, three way, love-hate-triangle goes...Naruto likes Sakura, while Sakura thinks Naruto's annoying. Sakura likes Sasuke, while Sasuke thinks Sakura is annoying! Of course Naruto hates Sasuke's guts, while Sasuke thinks Naruto is just an idiot. And to make matters worse...it's the three of them who are teamed up together to compose ninja Team 7!
Sasuke Uchiha
Species: Human
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Sasuke is one of the top scorers of the ninja apprenticeship school and the top "Genin" (rookie/first-level ninja) of Hidden Leaf village. He is the sole remaining member of the Uchiha clan, a once powerful ninja clan of the village. He is very dark and serious, and is focused on nothing else but training to become a stronger ninja.All of this is for one ultimate goal: revenge. His life's ambition is to grow powerful enough to kill "a certain man" (his older brother Itachi). As part of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke has higher "chakra" (spirit energy/chi) and can blow fireballs from his mouth.
Kakashi Hatake
Species: Human
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Hatake Kakashi was the jônin assigned to train Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura for their real ninja education. He was chosen... because he has a talent for sniffing things out, whatever that means. He's a cool looking guy that looks sort of like a slacker. I love his attitude, since it's sorta similar to the way I act. He is very quick and is very good at ninjutsu. How good? Good enough to read a book while he's fighting, providing that the fighter isn't as good as Sasuke. However, he seems to have a strange taste in the reading matter. Weird guy, and I'm not asking.He's extremely strict, and has never passed anyone before, until Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura came.... He seems to empathize on teamwork, and had purposely made a test with instructions that would make them want to work separately. Afterwards, he gives them another chance, and tells Sakura and Sasuke that they may eat their lunch, but they cannot give any to Naruto after he attempted to steal them. However, when both of them gave their lunches to Naruto.... They passed! Kakashi's a really strange guy.... I like him, he's funny.
Kakashi possesses one sharingan eye. I repeat, one. This mirror-wheel eye allows him see through illusions and spells, and reflect those powers used to create those illusions and spells back at the one who cast them. It also allows him to discern and copy an opponent's moves. Normally, he keeps his eye covered with his headband (for reasons that you'll find out), and if he exposes his eye to fight an opponent... you know the opponent is going to be tough.
Kakashi got his eye from a friend, an Uchiha. This friend died in the battle against Kyuubi, and was in fact in Kakashi's cell (team). As he was dying in the aftermath of the battle against the demon fox, he told Kakashi to take his eye. Kakashi visits his friend's grave every chance he gets, which is why he is often late to his appointments with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.
In the manga (Chapter 243), Hatake Kakashi's sharingan was obtained in battle with some hidden stone ninjas. His team mate Obito was injured all over the right side of his body by a giant boulder. It was at this time when Obito decided to give his left eye (sharingan) to Kakashi as a present for Kakashi's jounin celebration. With the help of their third team mate, Rin, they successfully transferred Obito's left eye into Kakashi's. (Rin is a medical ninja that was on their team).
Hinata Hyuuga
Species: Human
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Hinata resides in the Main House of the Hyuuga Clan (while her cousin, Neji Hyuuga lives in the Branch House). Hinata seems to have weak Hyuuga blood in her and has not mastered or touched upon the secret arts of their clan (for instance the Byakugan which is a technique that allows the user to see chakara points and find where they are).
She dislikes fighting and is very shy. She also developed a crush on Naruto which causes her additional shyness. She knows a lot about medicines but she is not confident of her abilities. With the encouraging words of her secret crush, Naruto, she gains more confidence and even stands up to her cousin, Neji.
Kiba Inuzuka
Species: Human
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Kiba is a Genin competing with Naruto for the title of Hokage. His dog, Akamaru, is his best friend, as well as being very useful in battle.
Kiba is on
Hinata and
Shino's team (the Jounin is Kurenai). He has a
fierce and competitive attitude, similar to
Naruto's.
Shino Aburame
Species:
Human Age: 12 Gender:
Male
Also known as the "Bug Freak" by
Kiba, Shino is one of the smart geniuses in the
Ninja Academy. Wearing sunglasses at all times, Shino
acts confident most of the time. His clan has the
ability to use insects in a type of symbiosis. Insects
live in his body and feed off of the chakra within. In
exchange, the insects helps Shino in tasks. Insects
attack and defend for him. Shino's insects can attack
enemies from behind and ultimately doom them. They also
spy for him in stealth missions. Shino's group consist
of
Hyuuga Hinata and
Inuzuka Kiba. Yuuhi Kurenai is his sensei.
Ino Yamanaka
Species:
Human Age: 12 Gender:
Female
Ino is a Genin and was assigned to a team with Akimichi
Chouji and
Nara Shikamaru. Ino likes
Sasuke, which is the main reason why she is
Sakura's enemy.
Before both
Sakura and Ino liked
Sasuke, they were best friends. Ino helped
Sakura become more confident and believe in herself
when they were younger. Because they once were such good
friends, this made it interesting for them to have to
fight each other in the preliminary matches of the
Chunin Tournament. Ino's favorite move is the Mind
Transfer.
Ino has long yellow hair tied in a
pony tail, and long bangs in front of her face. Her
family owns a flower shop.
Choji Akimichi
Species:
Human Age: 12 Gender:
Male
Choji Akimichi is a rather large kid who has the unique
ability to increase any his body parts ten times their
original size. His Team 10 and their leader is Asuma
Sarutobi and his partners are Shikamaru Nara and
Ino Yomanaka. Along with his ability to increase his
size, he also has another attack called Meat Tank which allows him to roll
toward his opponents at high speeds with his increased body. Even though most of
his attacks center around his weight, he is quite sensitive about his weight and
will pulverize anyone who dares mock him.
Shikamaru Nara
Species:
Human Age: 12 Gender:
Male
Shikamaru Nara is in Team #10, which is Asuma Satutomi's
team, along with
Ino Yamanaka and
Choji Akimichi. Nara can use shadow Jutsu with a limit
of about five minutes. He's a good team leader and really intelligent, but
everything is annoying to him!
Rock Lee
Species:
Human Age: 13 Gender:
Male
Rock Lee is the epitome of hard work and determination.
For many years, this youth with
little to no promise continued in his training to
someday become a ninja--despite the fact that no one
really believed he could ever succeed. He had no skill
in controlling his life force (chakra), and therefore
couldn't perform even the most basic of ninja
techniques. Even his hand-to-hand combat skills were
below average.
Yet, after training those
hand-to-hand skills for years with heart and focus, Rock
Lee has become one of the better known genin in Hidden
Leaf Village. He only knows taijutsu (hand-to-hand), but
his skills are considerably tough to handle...the speed
his body is able to maintain is unnerving, as is his
iron will to succeed.
Lee is the spitting image of his
young sensei (Gai, the rival of Kakashi); he idolizes
the man. His intensity and excitement with his training
spread to all aspects of his life (which you can imagine
makes him an interesting character to watch). His rosy
red cheeks and large, round eyes give away whatever
emotion he feels instantly.
An innocent and sweet kid at heart,
Lee is on a team of three with a girl weapon specialist
named
Tenten, and a famed genius of a specialized
hand-to-hand combat style, Hyuuga Neji. Neji's
fatalistic nature and constant mockery of Lee reinforce
the boy's determination to prove himself.
It is this determination that makes
Rock Lee great. After years of being taunted by
everyone, Lee is willing to destroy himself to prove one
thing: that if a person is determined enough, they can
overcome any trial.
Tenten
Species:
Human Age: 12 Gender:
Female
Tenten is part of a team made up by
Rock Lee and
Hyuuga Neji. She has an extreme talent in weapons,
able to throw a kunai or shruiken without missing the
target. The only time she misses if she has a break in
her concentration.
When she went to the Chuunin Exam,
she was beaten by
Temari. Since Tenten's ultimate attack is Twin
Rising Dragons, a smoke-like attack formed by two
scrolls,
Temari's huge fan nullified the attack.
She seems to show some feelings for
Neji, she always states to
Lee that he can never beat the genius
Neji and trains with him very often. She not only
admires
Neji, she also looks up to the
5th Hokage,
Tsunade, as like an idol. She works hard to become
like her as well.
Neji Hyuuga Species:
Human Age: 13 Gender:
Male
Neji's team members are Ten Ten and Rock Lee, and his
instructor is Gai sensei. Neji hates when they talk
about the head family of Hyuuga being better than the
branch family of Hyuuga. Neji is not only talented but
also good looking too. Neji's most power jutsu is
Bykugan. Using that jutsu, he can see where your chakra
flows and can easily damage his opponents. Neji is one to
fear. He is a Kohnahon genius ninja.
Sabaku no Gaara
Species:
Human Age: 12 Gender:
Male
Gaara is 12 years old and enjoys killing people that
stand in his way (his way of having fun). Long ago when
he was around the age of six, his father Yashamaru,
Gaara's uncle, to kill off Gaara because he believed
Gaara was becoming too dangerous (after killing a man
that passed him in the street). But the attempt failed,
and later ninja's were sent...who were all killed by
Gaara.
Yashamaru says that he is Gaara's
mother's brother (that would be an uncle for all you
slow people out there). He also tells us, as he is
dying, that Gaara's father, the Kazekage (leader of the
Sand village, like Hokage is for the Leaf village),
ordered him to kill Gaara. Yashamaru admits that he
could have turned down the mission but chose to do it.
Yashamaru had "adopted" Gaara due to his obligation to
his sister, but could never get over the fact that
Gaara's birth resulted in the sister's death.
Gaara's father was killed by
Orochimaru, who took his body and posed as him
during the tournament. They find his body after the
tournament, and find out about
Orochimaru's plot.
Gaara's gourd is made of sand and the
blood of the victims, which he says gives him power. In
battle, he takes out sand and uses it to kill off his
enemies by means of the techniques called Desert Coffin
and Desert Graveyard. The gourd itself is also made out
of sand, as is his armor. He has a sleep spell that
awakens the demon inside of him.
The kanji on his forehead and his
name means "Love". His name means "demon who cares only
for himself" (Yashamaru said so before he died).
Kankurou
Species:
Human Age: 14 Gender:
Male Hailing from the Sand Village with his team mates as
well as siblings
Gaara of the Desert and
Temari. They participate in the Chuuin Exam.
Kankuro's unique ability is that he can control puppets
by channeling his chakara into the strings of the
puppet. He has two puppets he uses: Karasu and Kuroari.
He is a proud fighter though he
doesn't take battles seriously and is pretty cocky. If
you insult his ability to fight, he will die trying to
kill you.
Temari
Species:
Human Age: 15 Gender:
Female
Temari is the eldest of her siblings, Kankurou and
Gaara of the Desert. She can be very arrogant and
over-confident of her abilities, though she does have
some very strong attacks. She carries around a large fan
which can create large wind jutsus. As well she can
summon Kamaitachi, a powerful summon that can level an
entire forest in one attack.
Iruka Umino
Species:
Human Age: 25 Gender:
Male
Iruka-sensei is a "Chuunin" (middle-level ninja) who was
the apprenticeship instructor of the ninja "cadets" at
the village Academy. He and
Naruto share the same past, as both of them were
neglected by people as they were growing up. Iruka lost
his parents to the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox twelve years
ago, and after that no one took care of him. Unlike most
of the villagers, though, Iruka acknowledges
Naruto's existence and accepts him, even though
within
Naruto is the Demon Fox who killed his parents.
Sandaime Hokage
Species:
Human Age: 68 Gender:
Male
The Third Hokage is the Hidden Leaf village chieftain.
He would probably have retired as Hokage of the village twelve years ago had the Fourth
Hokage not sacrificed himself in order to seal the Demon
Fox. He's now quite old, and he mostly does
administrative jobs like running the academy, assigning
missions to the ninja teams, and other such tasks.
The Third Hokage is the one who
recognized and explained to
Iruka about
Naruto's behavior, that it was an affirmation from
the village that
Naruto was alive, that he existed, and that he can
be a contributor to the village.
Konohamaru
Species:
Human Age: 8 Gender:
Male
Konohamaru is the
3rd Hokage's grandson, so he's always getting
attention. He hates it though, being called "Honorable
Grandson". He shares the common goal with
Naruto of becoming the next Hokage. He looks up to
Naruto as a teacher and a friend. He knows the Sexy no
Jutsu. Itachi Uchiha
Species:
Human Age: 17 Gender:
Male
Itachi is
Sasuke's older brother and these two are the only
ones left in the Uchiha clan. The entire clan was
murdered by Itachi about four years ago. Itachi seemed
to hold a grudge against his clan and the only reason he
gave for his crime was he wanted to test his strength.
He
succeeded in killing everyone except
Sasuke. He left his little brother alive, telling
him "Foolish little brother. If you want to kill me,
then hate, spite, and survive pathetically."
Sasuke has done this, living only to avenge his
family and become strong enough to kill Itachi. However,
killing Itachi is not going to be easy. Itachi at age
seven was already a ninja, at nine had mastered the
Sharingan (a special ability of the Uchiha), and at 13
had destroyed an entire tribe. He was able to beat
Kurenai, Asuma, Gai, and
Kakashi. He was also able to defeat
Orochimaru who is said to be one of the most
powerful ninjas of Leaf Village.
Once he killed his family, he fled
from the Leaf Village and joined a terrorist
organization called Akatsuki and quickly became a top
member. He has returned to Leaf Village on a mission to
kidnap
Naruto so they can use the demon inside him. His
strongest attack is the Mange Sharingan which is the
ability to enter another's mind and make them feel
anything you want. For example, when fighting
Kakashi, Itachi forces
Kakashi to feel as if he is being stabbed with
katanas for 72 hours in only a matter of seconds. This
leaves
Kakashi unconscious for several days. Kyuubi
Species:
Demon Age: ** Gender:
N/A
Kyuubi is a demon fox. Where he came from no one knows.
He came to the Leaf Village 12 years ago and destroyed
most of it. His tail could cause earthquakes and
tsunami's. His chakara is everlasting and very powerful.
It was when the
4th Hokage sealed the Demon Fox inside a young boy
as a vessel and thus died. This boy is
Naruto Uzumaki who contains the demon fox, though he
doesn't realize it.
Naruto grew up lonely and many of the villagers
treated him cruelly just because of this.
Naruto, however, does find out about this secret and
during the fight with
Zabuza and
Haku, when
Haku "kill" Sasuke. The chakara of the Demon Fox
seeps out of
Naruto easily overpowering
Haku. Later,
Naruto tries to tap into these vast resources with
the help of
Jiraiya.
Naruto does see Kyuubi in a dream-type thing and
tells him that in exchange for staying in his body, the
demon fox must give
Naruto his chakara. However, Kyuubi laughs at the
idea that
Naruto has the guts to threaten him. Though the
demon fox does agree, because if
Naruto dies, he dies. Whenever
Naruto experiences extreme amounts of emotion, the
nine tail fox demon's chakara is released. Katsuya Toru Species:
Human Age: 12 Gender:
Male Katsuya is a
lone drifter.
He is a young dirty boy. His one desire? Sakura of
course. Katsuya secretly stalks her. He is obsessed with Sakura. Katsuya
constantly fights with Naruto over her. Katsu is into S & M with women and other
brutal sexual acts.
