I don't know if I can say who's the "Worst Character in the Naruto Manga", or who's even the best character, because honestly, I started hating the damn thing a long time ago; the only I keep reading it is to see how it ends. I do agree mostly with some of the people on here. However, one poster made me laugh when they actually tried to prove that Hinata wasn't as useless as Sakura, by saying that her "obsession (their words)" made her stronger, while Sakura's made her weaker. I can agree to an extent, but need I point out that, after the "Sasuke Retrieval" mission, Sakura came to Tsunade for training so that she WOULDN'T be useless anymore? Don't get me wrong; I hate both of them, but Sakura seems to have a much better track record when it comes to being useful.

However, even though I'm usually for the main character, I probably think Naruto is the worst. Like Vandiir and Eleveonora said, Naruto is just too naïve and forgiving for my taste, and quite frankly too much of a little sissy, especially with how he dealt with Karui. I don't mind "stupid", but "pathetic" is entirely another. Instead of fighting and defending himself against her, he lets him get beat up just to "stop the cycle of hatred (or whatever)". I'm sorry, but that was just too ridiculous, even by the manga's standards. I mean, it wasn't something petty like Sasuke badmouthing her, and so she's to get even with him. No, this was more serious than that; she thought Sasuke took someone precious away from her, her sensei, and yet Naruto somehow thought letting himself be Karui's little bitch would take her anger away? To me, it just seemed like Kishimoto was in "time out", so he had to find some other to get off. I'm sure he only regretted not having enough time to show Naruto getting beat up page-by-page.

Ugh! I could go on and on and on and on, but my comment probably takes up too much space already.
