I have the most respect for these characters because...

[bsims08]

Jiraiya.
His skills should have been shown more and they weren't because of PnJ.

Yeah honestly in my opinion I don't him he is in the top 20 or even worse. All he was shown capable of is genjutsu which required mom and pop and rasengan

 

[iSpeak]

Lee I respect a lot. Neji and Gaara too.

 

[SO6PSenjuUchiha]

Yeah honestly in my opinion I don't him he is in the top 20 or even worse. All he was shown capable of is genjutsu which required mom and pop and rasengan

what about that toad mouth move or that inside the toad move or the fireball mud jutsu or the needle hair jutsu or the gaint rasengan or that great taijutsu or his summoning jutsu? he shown a pretty good arsenal of stuff

 

[6PathsofKami]

1. Itachi, mainly because of the sacrifices he did

2. Obito

Spoiler

Just kidding, that f*cked up virgin kid started a war because his crush that didn't even like him died, what a lame human being

3. Minato, because he has so much potential yet he will still die after this war is over :T_T::T_T::T_T:

We were told he did it to end the ninja system that brought about the tragedy in his life its not all about Rin. Jiraiya also said that the system is corrupt and filled with hatred.

 

[Rokudaime Hokage Naruto]

Minato/Itachi - Genius' who gave everything for the village
Naruto - His never say die attitude gets me every time
Hashirama - This guy is soooo strong its almost hard to comprehend and yet he is so level headed and down to earth.

Honourable mentions:
Kakashi - similar reasons to OP
Neji - Turning his life around is a hard thing to do
Bee - took all that stick but still remained positive.

 

[dark dreams]

Naruto
Tsunade
Kushina
Lee

 

[Sherlock.]

Hashirama - He dared to dream to create peace in an era of endless war and he made it.... He achieved peace....

Lee - He's really a very inspiring person....

Gai - He's inspiring plus I love his Quote to Lee.... "Lee.... Everything is useless if you don't believe in yourself...."

Kushina - For her Quote to Naruto before she died.... "Naruto.... Have a dream.... And have the confidence to fulfill your dream...."

Monkey D Luffy - Put Luffy in any kind of screwed up situatiuon.... Still he says the same thing with complete confidence and absolute faith...."I am Monkey D Luffy.... The man who will be The Pirate King...."

[DarkWolf Nashoba]

Gaara:
He may have been a devil in his youth, but he turned his life around through the influence of Naruto and others.
He went from psycho-killer to kazekage in a matter of 3-4 short years. This shows his ability to learn on a values/moral based plane of existence. He shows that no matter how terrible one's existence is, you can still do a heel face turn and make things right within your sphere of influence.

Bee, Naruto, and Rock Lee:
The resolve demonstrated by these three guys is most admirable. All three have been subject to ridicule for what they are (Naruto-demonfox, Bee-demonoctapus, Lee-ninjutsuless ninja) are yet they refuse to be discouraged. Bee is determined to maintain a positive attitude no matter how tough the situation may be. Lee is a genius of hard work and strives towards his goal despite the obstacles presented before him. Naruto shares many of these same qualities and continues to demonstrate compassion, love, and understanding towards almost all individuals he meets.

Minato and Kushina:
They exhibit their undying love (it's a pun, haha) for their son. Even in death, Minato and Kushina look after Naruto, in a way. Being a loving and supportive parent is something we all can strive towards (assuming you have kids).

Hinata:
Even though her father didn't give a **** about her for a while due to her shortcomings as the heir to the head family, she still fought to improve and perform to the best of her ability. Naruto inspired her to adopt his nindo as her own; hence, she adopted many of his more admirable traits from watching him as well. While her positive traits may be borrowed/inherited from others, it doesn't discredit her passion to become a better ninja and a better person. In addition, she also demonstrates her selfless devotion to benefit he whom she admires, which is a form a love (agape, according to Thomas Jay Oord).

Itachi:
Quite simply, he was willing to sacrifice everything for what he believed in. While I might not agree with the killing his entire clan thing, I still think it serves to demonstrate just how dedicated he was. Itachi reasoned that the good of the many outweighs the good of the few, and so I admire his loyalty to his ideals.

Many valuable lessons can be learned from mere fictional characters. Applying these lessons to everyday hum-drum life takes heart.

 

[Trollasaur]

1.Obito fights hard for something that he wants, sees a problem and tryes to fix it. No matter the cost

 

[EliteRamenNinja]

Some nice stuff to read. Nice!

 

[CrowNoJutsu]

1 - Itachi: Kind of obvious. He's sacrificed everything for his beliefs and most people will never know what kind of hero he is.

2 - Gaara : Had a terrible childhood because of the bijou locked inside him, which turned him mad, and having his own father trying to kill him etc. It took a lot to turn things around and became the youngest 'Kage' ever.

3 - Naruto: Also had a bad childhood, but his undying positive attitude surprised me countless times and is a true inspiration.

4 - Lee: Being mocked a lot of times for knowing no seals, Lee trained his ass off and had the perfect Sensei to teach him

5 - Shikamaru : This genius kid took revenge for the murder on his sensei in a very classy manner.

 

[iKaras]

1. Itachi - Unrivaled burden.

2. Trollkage - For obvious reasons.

3. Nagato/Pain - Nuked Konoha. Didn't even think such a scenario was possible.

4. Sasuke - Actually does what he sets out to do.

5. Tobirama - Created FTG and EDO. That alone is insane.

 

[Naruto KM V2]

Naruto, Itachi, sasuke

 

[Micho22]

Tsunade her body is cut in half and she planns still on healing them best women in naruto

 

[veggetta13]

Jiraiya: Nice flow of life. Multiple humane skills, such as hitting on girls, writing, and admiring nature.

Itachi: A man of ethics, easily flexible on accepting his mistakes despite being on e of the best warriors in the story, meaning he´s humble.

Hiruzen: i really enjoyed seeing him cris-crossed by feelings when fighting Oro. i understand him as a strong charactered, yet tender and loving master. All of the other heroes in the story, except Naruto, have chewed their own thoughts when applying common sense if fighting a rogue agent, former acquaintance or whomever. this is important for me .

 

[Acid Ace]

Naruto: The guy jhas been through so much

Sasuke: He's like Riku from Kingdom Hearts. If anyone has wisdom on right and wrong, it's this guy. He's seen life from both sides and decided which one he's going to walk down in.

Hinata: She's drastically changed so much throughout the years all for Naruto without being clingy like most anime girls in this character are. She's strong and powerful, kind of like a female Minato in many ways.

Itachi: One of the most loyal chacrters in the show. He's understanding and well-rounded.
