Who do you think Kishi's 5 best written characters are?
Imo, it goes like this.
1. Danzo Shimura - No one can say if he's truly good or truly evil, a true hero or a true villain, because frankly, he's neither. Kishi had Danzo blur the line between good and evil flawlessly. No other character in the series has come close to Danzo's ability to blur the line between good and evil. Was he doing it for the good of Konoha, or for himself?
I think this page best sums him up.
2. Kabuto Yakushi - Kabuto is a very deep, very troubled character. All his life, he just wanted someone to love him. To care for him. He had his "mother" Nono, who cared for him deeply, taken away after a few years with her. Then he ahd to kill her in self defense. Her final words were "Who are you?" That is pretty heart-breaking. Then came Orochimaru, who twisted his life. Kabuto was now a servant of the devil, but at least he had an identity.
Then Orochimaru was taken from him, and he was lost once again. In his battle with Itachi and Sasuke, for all Kabuto's tremendous power, he was still in great pain. That power did not fill the hole in his heart.
3. Itachi Uchiha - The man is a monster. He slaughtered his whole family just to test his power. He spared his "foolish little brother" because he was so weak. Turns out, it was all a ploy for his brother to gain power, so that eventually Itachi himself could take his eyes and gain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. What a demon.
...
Well never mind.
4. Tobi - He was an incredible villain. From goofball Akatsuki-wannabe to the leader of Akatsuki and mastermind behind World War IV, that really just speaks for itself.
5. Orochimaru - I simply love him. His character is interesting, he is the base of what I look for in a great villain. Creepy, powerful, sadistic, intelligent, etc. When he was first introduced, he was literally wearing someone else's face.
That's ridiculously villainous. And then. even without his enormous wealth of Jutsu, he remained a pretty significant threat. Without his arms he battled Jiraiya and Tsunade, two other extremely talented Shinobi, toyed with a demon without the majority of his Jutsu, held Sasuke Uchiha in his clutches, the driving force of Naruto, and even after dying twice, he still refuses to stay down.
Also, Orochimaru is the closest thing to the Devil in Naruto, as Oronagato put it. The way he seduces victims with the promise of power, only to turn around and betray or discard them in some way is simply demonic. Kimimaro saw him as a messiah and Orochimaru didn't even bat an eyelid when he died. Plus, the whole serpent thing really ties it up.
