My top 10 other favourite Naruto characters

So last year I did a list of my top 10 Naruto characters, and I also did another one for Dragon Ball Z then I did a list of my other favourite characters from Dragon Ball Z. And so I've decided to do the same for Naruto. I personally think the characters from Naruto are the most memorable characters in anime history with a lot of them being incredibly complex, interesting, some having tragic backstories and motivations along with being super enjoyable and they stand alone as individual characters. Also, like I did in my last list, this won't have any Boruto characters in it because I want to save that for another entry. And so, let's begin and I hope you all enjoy this.
10. Shino:

Starting us off is the Leaf Shinobi who uses insects. Shino is a kind of quiet, awkward, yet also smart guy who definitely knows how to get around in a fight. He's also really cool in that way and even feels like he's always on top of a situation no matter what it is. There's also a lot of funny moments with him too because of his quietness, usually Naruto feeling kinda awkward at points like when he feels sorta creeped out by him.
9. Neji:
Next up is the cousin to Hinata and one of Naruto's earlier rivals, Neji Hyuga. When he was first introduced, he was a kind of arrogant jerk who hated Hinata and her side of the Hyuga family after his father died. However, after fighting Naruto and finding out what really happened, he had a change of heart and became one of the strongest of Naruto's allies from the village. He's also really smart and strong with great use of the Byakugan.
8. Obito:

Now I'm including the villains here too. And the first villain on this list is Obito. While originally a Leaf Village shinobi who was jealous of Kakashi and had a crush on their teammate, Rin, he eventually turned evil after he thought Kakashi killed her. He also originally felt kinda worthless with others being better than him at things and having a dream to become the Hokage. But after one day when he saved Kakashi on a mission, the right side of his body was crushed and he had given Kakashi his left Sharingan. Madara then saved him and restored parts of his body and then Obito saw when he thought Kakashi killed Rin. Afterwards, he joined Madara and has helped him achieve many evil deeds. He posed as Madara for a while wearing a mask and has done many villainous things too numerous to count. However, during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto managed to reach out to him and helped turn him back to the good side again. And I especially like him after he turned good again. He was really likeable afterwards.
7. Minato:

Next up is Naruto's dad and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. On the day of Naruto's birth, Minato and Kushina sacrificed their lives to protect Naruro and the village. Minato was another student of Jiraiya like Naruto. When Obito unleashed Kurama on the Leaf Village, he did everything he could to protect everyone and performed the Reaper Death Seal to seal Kurama inside Naruto. This, however, killed him and Kushina. But when Kurama was beginning to escape during Naruto's fight with Pain, he appeared inside him and they spoke. And the whole time we've seen him, he's incredibly likeable and he's incredibly supportive as well.
6. Orochimaru:

As I said in my top 10 Naruto villains list, when it comes to Naruto villains, none are as famous or as recognisable as Orochimaru. This long haired, white skinned snake-like guy was one of the earliest villains introduced in the series. His original plan was to have Sasuke want to come to him for power as an attempt to steal his body so he could possess the Sharingan. And just from the way he talks and his intelligence ae both things that make him so memorable, as well as all the other things he does as well.
5. Kurama:

This humungous creature is more communally known as the Nine Tailed Fox. While originally starting off as kind of an antagonist, Kurama had a lot to do with Naruto's life considering he was sealed inside his body which caused everyone around Naruto to hate him neglect him when he was growing up. And when Naruto found out why, so many people were after him, especially the Akatsuki. Kurama was also doing everything he could to make Naruto angry as a means to escape, but after a long time, Naruto and him fought over his power with Naruto beating him. Afterwards, Naruto and Kurama were becoming friends. We even found out his name Kurama and he became a billion times more likeable. He's really great with helping Naruto in fights, but he's also pretty funny and super likeable whenever he and Naruto interact.
4. Madara:

This guy has been praised by many to be the greatest Naruto villain of all time, and, while he's not my favourite, as I've said before, he's still really cool and is a great villain for the series. A cunning a truly evil man, Madara was the cause behind a lot of the series' mayhems. While he wasn't the main guy pulling the strings, he still did a lot like manipulating Obito, the corruption of the Akatsuki, the starter of the Fourth Great Ninja War and many others. He has insane abilities that could rival anyone.
3. Tsunade:
This young looking but actually fifty year old lady is the fifth Hokage of the Leaf Village and one of the series' longer going characters. Originally, she had a past where her younger brother and lover were both killed so she sorta isolated herself away from everything for a while. But when Naruto and Jiraiya came looking for her and she met Naruto, she saw something in him that reminded her of the goodness in others with his ambition and personality. She's also got unimaginable strength and healing powers, which she then taught to Sakura.
2. Nagato:

Coming in close to  number 1 is my personal favourite Naruto villain and my personal favourite anime villain of all time, Nagato. As I've already said before a ton of times, Nagato is a fantastic villain because, for one, he's super strong with the many abilities he's able to do, but he's mainly my favourite because he's the villain I sympathise and understand the most. When you understand his backstory and realise why he's doing the things he's doing, it gives you a reason to attach to this character. And after he turns good again, he becomes even more likeable when Naruto talks to him.
And my number 1 other favourite Naruto character is... Jiraiya:

And finally at number 1 is the Pervy Sage of the Leaf Village himself, Jiraiya. I guess I shoulda put Jiraiya in my original list, but if I didn't, that just means I can put him on this list and talk about him now. When Jiraiya was first introduced, he was just some peeping tom that Naruto found with Ebisu. But, afterwards, he became a whole lot more. Afterwards, he became Naruto's master who taught him the Rasengan and did so many other things too. He, Tsunade and Orochimaru were all part of the Legendary Sanin, but after Orochimaru betrayed them, they separated and Jiraiya stayed in the village. Yes, Jiraiya is funny and he's got a lot of hilarious moments, but, again, as I've said for quite a few characters like him, I prefer when he's being serious and he's got a huge part in the story. He's also the teacher to Konan, Yahiko and Nagato. However he eventually died in the Hidden Rain Village when he was fighting Pain and trying to get information on him. And all that is why Jiraiya is my number 1 favourite Naruto character. And so everyone, those are my top 10 other favourite Naruto characters, thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think and, if you like Naruto, please tell me your favourite character.
