my Top 3 fav male not in ranking order.

Nagato Uzumaki: gifted the eyes of legend, lived like a legend, died like a legend.

Itachi n Edo: he lived closest to the true way of a ninja, a dark side, a bright side, at least imo.

Orochimaru: best villain with an epic character, a sage with thirst for more knowledge and power.

my Top 2 fav female not in ranking order.

Karin Uzumaki: strong character, true to herself and nature, flaws maybe (it makes her human)

Hinata Hyuga: thou reserved, seeming weak n gentle n ez to get along, still has a firm character inside.
