Strangely almost all of my fav character are from Akatsuki lol

1:Sasori-Hes so freaking cool with all the puppets and poison tricks but sadly i think he die too soon in early arc

2:Deidara-I love his personality and bomb made out of cray

3:Kakuzu-He is creepy and cool at the same time with the tentacle and several hearts within body+Near immortality ability-ish

4:Hidan-Immortal villain with interesting ability sadly author lazy to put more character in final shinobi war

5:Konan-Her paper ability is so cool remind me of Kalluto from HxH,her scene vs masked obito was cool with the non-stop bombing waterfall abyss.

Other fav would be Zbz and Haku from Naruto the bridge arc was my fav arc in entire naruto+shippuden arc.

sasori was so strong, he killed the strongest kazekage, third kazekage and chiyo said he could avoid her attack and survive, but he didnt ..

he told sakura some informations about orochimaru, i mean he could just die and not tell her, he was great ...

1.Hiruzen-Very strong,but kind.Letting Orochimaru run,refusing to kill him even after he come back to destroy Konoha.Well respected,both his generations and young ones.

2.Itachi-Ultimate sacrifice,care for his bro :)

3.Hinata-A bit of a underdog,but brave enought to fight for her loved one.

4.Konohamaru-He is funny,strong,and hella cool in Boruto.

5.Tsunade-*y,smart,strong,and with dark side when it come to money.

1. Fu the 7 Tails Jinchuriki - She got a whole arc to herself in the Chunin Exams (Flash Back filler thing) and all she wanted to do was make 100 friends. She ended up reminding everyone from Konoha and a few others that she was a lot like Naruto.

2. Hinata - She waifu material, oh the things I could do with her ;)

3. Shikamaru Naara - intelligent and lazy, best kind of genius.

4. Rock Lee - Wants to become a splendid shinobi who can't use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. Honestly, really like him cause the fights he is in, are well done and gives it a real feel compared to all the wizard magic in the anime.

5. Jiraiya - The dad Naruto never had. RIP Jiraiya.

Dosu - We've been over this time and time again, but to sum it up: he's extremely interesting and well developed for a supposed "supporting/minor" character. He's got a pretty hax jutsu at chunin level that still works with the powerscaling of Naruto, and he's one of the smartest characters in the series. I still think one of the reasons Kishimoto killed him in such an OOC moment was because he was too strong and he didn't know how to get rid of him.

Kotetsu and Izumo - AKA "those two guys in naruto". The most unbreakable tag team duo I've ever seen. They aren't too impressive combat-wise, but they work really well in tandem and I think that's interesting.

Aoba - My buddy Scarbucks convinced me of this one. His crow abilities were freakin' awesome.

Ajisai/Animal Path - Cute girl who can summon huge animals to protecc or destroy things? Yes please.

Kidomaru - This spider guy was smart, cunning, and tactical. He only had one fight, but it was hella impressive.

Nagato- He is not full of hatred. Despite the destruction of his village and the death of his parent he didn't plot revenge against Konoha (he only destroyed the village to get Naruto). He showed Naruto not to be self-centered.

Itachi- He sacrified himself and his loved ones for the sake of the village and his little brother.

Hashirama- Despite the fact that he lost so many loved one because of the Uchiha he didn't hate them.

Naruto- He started with nothing, never gave up and finished with everything he wanted.

Guy- He put up a good fight against Madara in his greatest form with his own power. Not Hagoromo's power nor Kurama nope... His own.

My list would have to go
Tobirama Senju- He's a genius, the soul reason they were able to blitz ten tail obito so much, He evented pretty much everything. Plus hes just soo cool looking and ontop of that I'm pretty sure he could make a bigger water dome then even kisame can.
Nagato Uzumaki- The fact he has the rinnegan and use it soo well made me really like him like when he beat kcm 1 naruto and killer bee, He controlled the pains and kill alot of people
Madara Uchiha- Well enough said he was just a kind man tricked by a evil person, plus his amazing strength skill and experience awesome, his character design plus voice acting (dub or sub) is top tier, plus he had enough power to kill 8th gate guy when not even at full power but sadly minato saved guy from the truth seeking orbs.
Deidara- He's humor was amazing, he's death was kinda plot well I mean everyone sasuke fight and beats is just 100% plot, hes design is epic, his love for art being explosive is great plus he seen sasori as his sensei I mean hes not as strong as sasori was but still awesome character.
Orochimaru- He's goofy, hes *ual, hes intelligent, he helped in the great ninja war alot making karin heal tsunade, edo tensing the 4 hokage, giving sasuke the curse mark for he can be somewhat useful against obito (of course that was way earlier but still help in the long run), a master mind and plus hes voice is duh best.

Sasuke- He's cool like me (whether im a girl or a boy)

Sakura - I love her, like a little sister or daughter. She's hilarious to me. She has anxiety. She's cute

Rin/Obito - These two are hilarious to see interact. Obito's obsession is hilarious. Some of his qualities remind me of what i do.

Temari - I love her hair. I have a huge see*ual attraction to her. she's so cute to me. so hawt.

uuuuhhh

those are it i suppose.

Also

Hidan - the coolest, one of the funniest, and sadly the second most fudged up akatsuki member. The first most fudged up member being Orochimaru, who reminds me of someone who did awful things in real life.

1. Tobirama Senju - His wit, strength and leadership skill. Totally Mei's husband if he was alive.

2. Shikamaru Nara - Lazy, but intelligence, probably one of the best advisors in entire series.

3. Konan - Beauty with strength. A bridge that strengthens friendship and future.

4. Mei Terumi - She may not be the strongest Kage, but she can melt down Susano'o. Yikes!

5. Moegi - Mokuton... Wh..what!?! You go girl.

Itachi - He was an extraordinary shinobi. He was smart, strong, possessed remarkable skills, besides being a brave person who cared about his village and his mates above everything.

Sasori - A cool character with a cool personality, always keeping calm and *yzing the conditions of the battle.

Hanabi - If Hinata is the byakugan princess, Hanabi is surely the queen. Since she was a child she had proved to be a powerful warrior with will and talent to be a leader.

Rock Lee - He always wanted to become a splendid shinobi even not being able to use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. He worked hard to chase his dreams and proved the excellent ninja he always was.

Minato - Same as Itachi. He was an extraordinary shinobi. He was smart, strong, possessed remarkable skills, besides being a brave person who cared about his village and his mates above everything.

Tobirama was racist as hell. How is that good leadership skill? That's very devisive for a "diverse" village.

You didnt even bring up his actual strengths, like being the creater of edo tensei, and pioneer of time-space ninjutsu.

Also, how would he be Mei's husband? I must have missed that part. Is that what Mei is into? Or are you just saying that because he is water like she is? Wouldn't he be kind of old for her? I'm literally just curious about that part. The rest of your list is aight though.

Because he excluded Uchiha to outskirt?

If he was Hokage long enough, Konoha military strength wouldn't be as weak as this.

He single-handedly took out Izuna, was good enough to rage Madara.

Tobirama x Mei, if you don't get it. You won't get it. I don't need to explain it.

Tobirama * riding everywhere eh akio

"Excluded the Uchiha?" I could make a montage of all the racist things he said about the Uchiha. He even started talking crap about them the second he was resserected, in front of an Uchiha child.

His prejudice lead to the massacre of an entire clan, and, nearly lead to a deadly civil war in konaha, which could have spelled the end to the village itself if other nations jumped in.

That is crap leadership

Generic Suna Nin is number one.

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.

For me:

Naruto, shikamaru, jiraiya, tsunade and hinata.

Nope not his prejudice that lead to the massacre.

It's Hashirama's weakness to leave Madara alive to begin with, when Tobirama slain his brother.

If Madara was dead then, 4th Great Ninja War would never happen.

Hashirama admitted it was his fault that his problems led to Tsunade's generation and next.

Are you missing the plot or what?

---

Leadership skill has more meanings than just telling and order subordinates what to do.

FYI: you're ruining the Top 5 Vibes, by arguing in someone else opinions.

Not even close m8.

Madara only turned against the village for how frightened the village was of him, that and add the deciphered Uchiha Stone Tablet that was altered. If Madara had become Hokage, even as the 2nd Hokage. The 4th Great ninja War (as we know it) wouldn't happen. It was Tobirama that treated the Uchiha poorly that lead to their near extinction.
