Uzumaki Naruto

Naruto is the number one loudest ninja of the Leaf Village. He is loud, hyperactive, clumsy, kind of stupid and he dreams of becoming hokage. Although Naruto definitely isn't the smartest or most talented ninja of the Leaf Village, he does have one hell of a lot of chakra at his disposal.

Twelve years before Naruto graduated from the academy a powerful demon called Kyuubi terrorized the Leaf Village. The Fourth Hokage managed to seal the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox within Naruto, but unfortunately he didn't survive the battle himself.

The Fourth wanted Naruto to be seen as a hero, a boy who saved the village from Nine-Tails. But unfortunately that wasn't meant to be. Many of the older villagers saw Naruto as the Nine-Tails himself, and hated and ignored him for it.Because of this, Naruto desperately seeks for acknowledgement for his existence. He is a first-class prankster and he tells everyone he will someday become the hokage of his village. Because of this, Naruto desperately seeks for acknowledgement for his existence. He is a first-class prankster and he tells everyone he will someday become the hokage of his village.

The first person to really acknowledge Naruto's existence is teacher Iruka. Ikura really looked after Naruto and taught him the values of life. If it wasn't for him, Naruto probably wouldn't be where he is now. In combat Naruto isn't exactly what you would call a genius. He is more the type who would charge in head on to his opponent, although from time to time Naruto does have his moments with some deceiving tactics he comes up with. But Naruto is not to be underestimated. He has a lot of chakra at his disposal, especially when he learns to tap in to Kyuubi's chakra. This huge amount of chakra makes him able to go berserk (like he did against Haku) and summon Gamabunta.

Shodaime Hokage

The first of all hokages, he was the founder of the Hidden Leaf Village, he made his appearance in the story when Orochimaru summonned him while he was launching the attack to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village with the Hidden Sand Village's ninjas as allies. The first hokage had an unique exquisite type of chakra element, which is the Hidden Wood element, and with that he was able to bend to his will the giant demons known as Tailed Beasts to his will. Recently a new fact about Shodaime is that he defeated the founder of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara at the Valley of the End were also Naruto and Sasuke have fought.

Sandaime Hokage

Also known as Sandaime, he is the third hokage of the hidden village Konoha. Sarutobi is 68 years old and this is his second time to be Hokage. He retired so the 4th would be able to become kage, but when the 4th died in his fight with kyuubi, Sarutobi once again became the Hokage. He was the instructor of the sannin, the most noted ninja team of their era, but eventually all three left Konoha and him later in their lives. He is the first known to have done the bell training that we see Team 7 doing. To most of the villagers he is a very warm and paternal figure that mainly protects and provides for the villagers in a very kind and gentle way. Through his wisdom and strength as a leader, Konoha continued to flourish while he was the Hokage. His reputation for knowing all the jutsus from the village of Konoha has earned him the name "The Professor".

Eventually at the chuunin exam that Naruto participated in, Orochimaru made an alliance with the Sand village and they attacked Konoha and he engaged Sarutobi in a one on one battle. Orochimaru summoned the two previous hokages to fight Sarutobi and the outcome was that Sarutobi died in that fight but not before stilling the unholy summons and taking part of Orochimaru's spirit and his ability to do jutsus. Once before Sarutobi tried to stop Orochimaru, but he at that time was unable to kill his former student who had been his prized pupil and once desired successor. So he like the 4th makes the ultimate sacrifice and forfeits his life to protect the village.

He has a grandson Konohamaru who wants to succeed him someday, and then possibly the Jounin Sarutobi Asuma is closely related to him as well.

Nidaime Hokage

Nidaime was the Second Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village, the First Hokage's brother and the grand uncle of Tsunade. Not much is known about him, and we've only seen him in battle when he was summoned by Orochimaru together with Shodaime to fight against Sandaime. He can perform jutsus in an instant and he specializes in water-based jutsu. We saw him use high level water jutsus in an area where there was no natural source of water, he was able to summon an extremely large amount of water in seconds, quickly flooding an area. His great skill and strength shows us he was truly a very powerful Hokage.

Yondaime Hokage

The Fourth Hokage and also known as Konoha's "Yellow Flash" with his blonde, spikey hair. Yondaime is alluded to be the greatest ninja that Konoha has ever produced. Yondaime was a respected and popular Hokage and is also seen to have a gentle and wise spirit.

Yondaime was mentored by Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, along with the two teammates who have yet to be named. After becoming a Jounin, Yondaime became sensei for a team consisting of Kakashi, Obito, and Rin. Yondaime is feared by the opposition in battle and, during war time, ninjas are told to "flee on sight" if they're ever misfortunate enough to meet the "Yellow Flash."

Not much else is known about him, other than the fact that he saved Konoha from the Nine-Tails Fox thirteen years ago. In order to do this, Yondaime was forced to sacrifice himself using the Demonic Soul Seal technique, and he then sealed the Kyubi's soul into Naruto. It is not known how Yondaime sealed the Kyubi in Naruto, and it is also unknown how Yondaime and Naruto are connected, whether it be family or otherwise.

Not much has been seen of Yondaime in battle. The one technique that was seen, the Body Flicker Technique, consists of placing a seal or marker onto an opponent. This allows Yondaime to instantaneously move from his spot to behind his opponent, literally in a "flash." Although no one has Yondaime use it, it is also known that it took him three years to develop and perfect the Rasengan. Through the battles that we have seen though, we gather that he is an immensely powerful as he approaches incredible odds and dispatches them to the amazement of his comrades. He strikes fear into his opponents with his speed.

His strength though is matched with his desire for the village and the people in it. When he is tutoring Kakashi's team, he is gentle yet firm with them even when they disobey his orders. He attempts to reconcile differences and make peace within his team so that they will be able to act with unity and not divisiveness. And eventually he does make the ultimate sacrifice with for his village in using the technique that demands his own life. So he like his predecessor sacrifice their life for the protection of the village.

Jiraiya

Jiraiya was a student of the 3th hokage and the sensei of the future 4th hokage. Jiraiya is also one of the Three Legendary Sannin, together with Tsunade and Orochimaru. He is the "Rock" as the three are heavily based off the "Rock, Paper, Scissors" game, or also known as Janken.

You first see him peeping in the women bathing place to "collect material". Naruto then gave him his nickname "ero-sennin" meaning "perverted hermit". Although he is kinda stupid and funny, he truly is a master ninja. He teaches Naruto to control his 2 chakras and to summon toads. He also tought Naruto the Rasengan.

As such, Jiraiya's fighting techniques are mostly defensive, His "Underworld Swamp" immobilizes a large amount of ninja's in a marsh, and his "Underworld Spines" defend him from any physical attack. He mostly relies on his summoning frogs to aid him, though he rarely summons Gamabunta.

There might be a good reason why he specializes in defensive techniques, and that is because he a complete and utter pervert, who writes a series of books known as Icha Icha Paradise, a book Kakashi himself adores. As such, he has grown so adept at peeping he is rarely caught.

Tsunade

Tsunade is the third and last part of the three Legendary Leaf Sannins, with Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Tsunade was also the first medical ninja to be put on the field. At a young age, Tsunade had a dramatic death that made her to push for a medical unit to be implemented in the Konoha military; the death of her younger brother Nawaki, the day after she gave him the necklace which belonged to the 2nd Hokage. After the meeting which she laid out her idea, which was initially rejected, another Jounin pushed his support for the idea. Tsunade and the Jounin named Dan became very close, until Dan was killed by enemy ninjas. Since then, Tsunade has had a paralyzing fear of blood.

Tsunade's fighting techniques are few, as she is a medical specialist. But she has an obscene amount of strength, even at a young age, and "one good hit" will kill anyone, as Kabuto puts it. As a side note, her summon, Katsuyu, doesn't seem to talk much. She seems to be rather shy.

Uchiha Itachi

Uchiha Itachi is one of the last of the Uchiha clan, he graduated from the chuunin selection exam at the age of 10, and when he was 13 he already became an ANBU Captain. Together with his brother, Uchiha Sasuke, they're supposably the only ones still alive after the Clan's massacre. Their clan, once praised as the strongest clan in Leaf village, was viscously wiped out by none other then Itachi himself. Itachi, a genius praised as the clan's future, killed all his family in a single night. Everybody except for Sasuke, he was left alive in order to avenge the clan. As Itachi himself stated: "At the moment you aren't even worth killing. My foolish little brother. If you want to kill me, despise me, hate me, live a loathsome life and cling to life. And then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me".

Itachi, being an Uchiha member, has the feared Sharingan bloodline ability. An eye-technique used to copy an opponent's techniques, and see through their movement. Itachi, having fully mastered the "Sharigan Eye", is able to use the clan's ultimate eye-technique: "Mangekyou sharigan".

After the incident Itachi left the Leaf, and became a missing-nin. The reason why Itachi let Sasuke live and revealed the Mangekyou Sharigan's secret is unclear. It may be because only a Mangekyou sharigan user can kill him, and he wished to be killed by his brother. Or prehaps he really let him live because he thought he wasn't even worth killing. Either way, he forced his brother to live a painfull life, swearing that he will avenge the clan and kill Itachi. The reason why he murdered all members of the Uchiha clan is also not known. Altough he said it was to test his ability, it's strange that Itachi already seemed to have joined Akatsuki prior to the killing. Itachi also informs Sasuke about a second Mangekyou sharigan user besides himself.

Itachi is currently a member of the organization "Akatsuki", an organization comprised of "Sly S-Rank Criminals" as Kakashi stated. Their ultimate goal is unknown, but we do know they're after the jinchuuriki and Itachi and his partner Kisame were ordered to track down the Kuuybi (the nine tails fox demon) jinchuuriki, and take him back with them. In other words, they were ordered to kidnap Naruto, the host in which the Kyuubi was sealed. Some time after Itachi joined Akatsuki Orochimaru tries to take over Itachi's body, but fails and ends up having his hand severely damaged. After this incident Orochimaru leaves the organization.

Itachi first appeared in episode 80, where we breifly veiwed him and Kisame observing the ruined Leaf village, after Orochimaru's invasion. Itachi and Kisame get detected by Kakashi who is defeated by Itachi quite easily using the Mangekyou Sharingan. Kakashi being defeated so easily, searches for a way to counter the Mangekyou Sharigan. We have yet to see Itachi's true power, but considering his Sharingan and the fact that he's very skilled with genjutsu and ninjutsu makes him a force to be wreckend with.

Orochimaru

Orochimaru is one of the 3 Legendary Sannin of the Leaf Village, until his thirst for the knowledge of Forbidden Techniques exiled him from the village. Since then, he has moved on from body to body in a technique that transfers his soul into another one in a bid for immortality. His next victim, or prodigy, as he states, is Uchiha Sasuke.

After his initial meeting with Sasuke in the Death Forest, Orochimaru gives him a curse seal as tantalizing bait; using Sasuke's ambition against himself, so that Sasuke would one day follow him and Orochimaru would claim his greatest power. The Sharingan.

He also was once part of Akatsuki, the same organization that Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame are currently in, but left because he feared Itachi to a great magnitude.

Orochimaru has terrifying offensive techniques, and the exact opposite of Jiraiya. His ability to make Kakashi freeze dead in his tracks by just showing off his killing intent should be indicator of how strong he is.
He founded the Hidden Sound Village (Otogakure) with the sole intention of gathering human subjects for his forbidden jutsus development and research. He failed at the attempt of Destroying the Hidden Leaf Village, and Third Hokage Sarutobi, did a special sealing technique (Shiki Fuujin which was able to take Orochimaru's soul but since he was old and injured he was only able to seal Orochimaru's arms within him.
