For the kanji next to each character's names:

Kakashi: Endure

Shikamaru: Will

Hinata: Love

Sasuke: Path

Sai: Bond

Sakura: Fate (Could be 'life' - Kanji often have more than one meaning.)

I'm sticking with 'fate' as it fits with the meaning of other characters' kanji better. Life and fate are, somewhat, related if you think about it.
