Ok guys, so in Naruto which character do you personally feel the most pity/empathy/sympathy for and why? A lot of the major characters have been through a tough time or have a really personal/sad back story but which story touches you the most. The character and reasons will be different for everyone it's all down to personal perspectives.

So for me, it would be Kabuto. He achieved so much by himself and with Orochimaru yet all for nothing because he didn't even know who he was in the end and still doesn't... He had the ability to understand, manipulate, control and blackmail others yet couldn't even understand himself.

I've added a poll with the characters who have been through the most crap. If I haven't added your character please select other and comment below (sorry for missing them out!).

Either Kabuto, Kakashi, or Nagato.


Gaara, Sasuke, and Itachi are also worthy mentions, but I don't think they compare to the first three listed.

lol, I'm surprised someone had the same views as me regarding sympathy/empathy towards certain characters.

But yeah, I feel loads for almost every character who's been in pain but Kakashi (dude's such a soldier and one of my favourite characters, he's had to live through the death of his father, Obito, Rin and his sensei), Kabuto (especially due to the ), Nagato (he arguably lived in the worst time a child could live in) and Lee (this homie's history should be known to all).

I feel for Rock Lee the most (mainly part 1)

I felt and could relate to his issues the most in a way.

I can feel sorry for others like Sasuke and such too, but I can't understand and get what they went through to fully have sympathy from the heart.

Relation and similar experiences to me make me feel for the most, more than any other character's issues can be.

Between Sasuke,Gaara, and Nagato

I will go with Sasuke on this one though....come back from school only to come to a family that has been slaughtered by your own brother and then having to watch all over again for 72 hours...that's kind fu_ked up...

Rock Lee and Hyuuga Neji for me...
I was a type of loser who was deemed as good for nothing by others like Lee; or someone who is "2nd rate" like Neji's situation with main family. I can genuinely understand what they felt and why they tried hard for self prooving.

Haku. Out of the people there, Kabuto though.

But Haku easily had a shit life and found a way to over come it and find a purpose.

I empathize most with Sasuke and Madara, and I have no clue why. Sasuke is just all kinds of unhappy at all times and Madara was driven insane by a will to save his people, combined with a lack of political voice.

I find Naruto and especially Obito to be the most relatable characters in the show but I really don't empathize them as much Sasuke/Madara for some reason. And I know I should feel sorry for Kabuto, but I really don't. Dem feels are complicated :|

Go over the chapters regarding Kabuto's past, put yourself in his shoes and then try feeling for him.

Actually, I kind of agree with GhostProject.

I don't feel for Kabuto, at all really.
It felt out of place and forced.

It was the timing of it.
He got emotional and deep with Itachi and Sasuke? During a very pivotal time in the Manga, where we've just see Madara, we've seen Sasuke and Itachi meet for the first time since the 'truth' was exposed and the mystery of Tobi.

I just couldn't get into it.
Had Orochimaru been there and explained Kabuto's past for us, it might of hit me harder.

But it just felt way too forced.

Dude you can't be like that. While you might be able to fully understand a character and sympathise with them someone else may not. Just like how you might not be able to give 2 shits about Sasuke or Obito and yet someone else would. It all depends on the individual and how they relate to the character.
