I'm glad this thread exists because I've been wanting to talk about scary Naruto moments for a while. I'll probably add more later, but here's a start.

I agree that psychopathic Gaara is scary. Shoot, you could probably start a whole thread of just scary Gaara moments. "BLOOD! IT'S MY BLOOODDDD!" "Do I frighten you, Sasuke Uchiha!?" ~shudders~ I think half-Shukaku Gaara was way scarier than full-Shukaku Gaara. Also, as Shikamaru put it, Gaara killed so automatically. He'd burst people like a pimple and think nothing of it.

I also agree about Kyodaigumo. That scene with the Rain of Spiders made me think, "Okay, how are shinobi not psychologically scarred from experiencing things like this?!" I wonder if the ninja hospital has a psych ward with shinobi who couldn't handle things that they'd experienced (like victims of shell shock in World War I). On a related note, who else remembers the giant leeches from the Forest of Death? That scene creeped me out.

It was scary when Itachi first used his Tsukuyomi, making Kakashi feel like multiple copies of him were being bound crucifixion-style and stabbed for three days straight. It was scarier in the anime because it was drawn out. There was poor Kakashi being tortured for three minutes straight (I checked my clock), and then Itachi matter-of-factly told him, "Only two days, twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds to go." Holy-! :-0
