Personally, I don't think there's any particular worst character in Naruto. Most of them were really well done and not too screwily. But, there are some parts of some characters which I dislike a lot. The fact that Sasuke/Naruto got so OP later on. Minato being a bit too over-hyped. Really, it isn't as much a particular character (though Obito did get over humanized) as it is some character stuff that Kishimoto did. Also, though I have high respect for Sakura realizing that she was just being a princess in part 1, and then hitching up her skirt and getting super tough in part two, I really think Kishi over-did it with the baka, baka, baka thing. Really, delete that and she'd be in my top three. I mean really, I'm glad she became a warrior. Any other characters? Hmm.... Oh, Karin. Definitely. I have high respect for her as a healer, but seriously, a perfectly smart teenager just forgives her attacker so easily?

I just believe some elements of Naruto are greatly exaggerated or unrealisitc, unfortunately. It's missing a sense of realism, but then again, we're talking about ninjas.
