Overview
Hello,

Been a hardcore Naruto fan since it first appeared in North America via Cartoon Network. Despite the series having many ups and downs, I still love it and will do my best to assist with the community time from time. If you have any questions, please feel free to hit me up.

Top Ten Favorite Characters

 * 1) Gaara - Arguably has the best character development in the entire series. Becoming the Kazekage was unexpected, but welcomed and loved the impact he had on the whole series. I hope the first novel, "A Sandstorm Mirage" is translated into English by Viz Media and Gaara gets a second novel depicting new adventures in the Boruto era.
 * 2) Kakashi Hatake - A true badass who honestly should have became a villain from all the tragic events that happened in his life. But his perseverance, loyalty to Konohagakure, loved ones, and various skills kept him grounded and eventually awarded him the title of Sixth Hokage. I hope a third novel about him is released one day, preferably about more untold stories from his Anbu days.
 * 3) Kimimaro Kaguya - In my eyes he's a prototype of early Shippuden Sasuke by being aloof, powerful, and ambitious. If he wasn't ill, I have no doubts he would have killed both Rock Lee and Gaara in their duel.
 * 4) Itachi Uchiha - My most favorite character for many years when a teenager. Itachi broke many grounds by seemingly being the strongest fighter in Part 1 by crippling both Kakashi and Orochimaru (in the past) effortlessly. Akin to Kimimaro, if he was never ill, Itachi would have been a much greater force that many wouldn't dare to imagine.
 * 5) Kakuzu - A cool Akatsuki member who possessed nice abilities. His entire role was done rather well despite not lasting very long. His significance in the Fourth War was meager however.
 * 6) Obito Uchiha - Another tragic character who is the antithesis to Naruto in many ways. His relationship with Kakashi is unique and loved his portrayal of "Madara Uchiha" of being a top-tier villain. We do need a novel on him to have a better understanding of events in his backstory post Madara training however.
 * 7) Nagato - His role, backstory, powers, and agenda is simply great all around. Nagato will forever go down in history as one of the best characters in the entire series.
 * 8) Sasuke Uchiha - One of the main characters who also had some of the best character development in the entire show. My favorite version of Sasuke is from early Shippuden to Itachi's defeat since he was still moral despite being focused on killing Itachi. To this day I still wish he retained Orochimaru's powers and the Curse Mark since they were great assets to him.
 * 9) Isshiki Otsutsuki - The best villain to appear yet in Boruto who was malicious yet charismatic while still being Jigen. Glad he still exists to a degree, or at least power-wise within Kawaki and Code.
 * 10) Madara Uchiha - Since his introduction he's became my most favorite character that remains true to this day. No other character is like him and love how overpowered he is. However his defeat by Black Zetsu to resurrect Kaguya Otsutsuki is still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Top Five Favorite Clans

 * 1) Uchiha Clan - My most favorite clan since they're battle hardened veterans who had a tragic event that lead to more tragedy for the greater world. Many cool characters came from here.
 * 2) Nara Clan - The Nara's traditional hairstyle, deer medicine, unmatched intellect, and Shadow Manipulation never grows old to witness in any situation.
 * 3) Hatake Clan - While not much is known about them, but the likes of Kakashi and Sakumo Hatake is enough to keep me invested in this small but influential clan.
 * 4) Hyuga Clan - Their family structure, capabilities, and influence is fascinating in more ways than one.
 * 5) Jugo's Unnamed Clan - Being the source of the power of Orochimaru's Curse Marks and possessing Sage Transformation is enough for them to earn my respect. I wish however we knew the true name of this clan and their origins.

Top Ten Favorite Jutsu

 * 1) Chidori / Raikiri - A power that turns your hand into electricity to cut down your opponent like it a sword. It standard form and offshoots are all amazing.
 * 2) Sand Coffin / Sand Burial - Simply capture your opponent with sand before crushing them to death. A brutal yet elegant death sentence to those caught by this.
 * 3) Izanagi - The ability to rewrite your own death as fantasy is fantastic to envision. However it has a good drawback since blindness will overtake the eye, making it a double-edge sword.
 * 4) Tsukuyomi - One of the few Genjutsu that can kill it target. It power and execution makes it one of the most OP abilities in the entire series.
 * 5) Kamui - The ultimate space-time ninjutsu in my eyes since many actions can be accomplished form this technique. Too bad it forever extinct now.
 * 6) Almighty Push - Gravitational Manipulation that obliterates all before you. Enough is said about this.
 * 7) Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu - Rushing water that turns into a dragon is just simply badass all around. Would be even cooler if these dragons can fire high-streams of water from their own mouths.
 * 8) Fire Style: Water Mist Jutsu - Only seen in "Sixth Hokage and the Failed Prince" novel, but Kakashi makes amazing use of this jutsu to create a flaming phoenix that can extinguish water style jutsu. The phoenix can also release fire from it peak for more offensive capabilities.
 * 9) Curse Jutsu: Death Possession Blood - A very dangerous jutsu to possess if one is immortal from the religious practices of Jashin. To make oneself a Grim Reaper of sorts by becoming a living voodoo doll is terrifying that can easily change the tide of the battle if the victim is not strong enough to counterattack. Very few without prior knowledge could win in a first encounter brawl.
 * 10) Genjutsu: Sharingan - With a simple eye glance, you can place any target within a genjutsu that is subjective to your whims. Such a overpowered move is coveted for good reason.

Top Five Favorite Kekkei Genkai

 * 1) Sharingan / Mangekyo Sharingan - My most favorite kekkei genkai since it has multiple abilities within it standard and heightened form. It due to this that the Uchiha Clan was feared for many centuries.
 * 2) Rinnegan - Among the strongest of dojutsu since it grants a plethora of abilities to it wielder. Anyone who possesses it is a extreme threat that has many options in battle.
 * 3) Shikotsumyaku - The ability to manipulate one's bone structure for many uses is simply too cool to pass up on. Too bad all natural users are extinct, making it one of the rarest powers to have since only Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi have the means to reproduce it now.
 * 4) Magnet Style (Iron Sand) - This is one of the only few ways to imitate the powers of the One-Tailed Jinchuriki. If near-limitless versatility can be employed in many situations.
 * 5) Jugo Clan's Kekkei Genkai - Enough is already said. It grants Sage Transformation, which is basically a bipolar and unstable version of Sage Mode. If fully mastered, the user would becomes a force to be reckoned with.

Other

 * 1) Shukaku is my most favorite Tailed Beast due to his design, role in part 1, and special abilities. I sincerely wish he was still sealed within Gaara so that he could become a perfect Jinchuriki.
 * 2) My most favorite blades from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist is Samehada, Kiba, and Kubikiribōchō.
