‘Naruto’ is one of the most popular anime of all time. It is considered part of the big three and is one of the best shonen anime. Aside from the amazing plot and animation, the characters in the series are what resonate with the fans the most. Fans truly love almost all the characters in the series and each character has something unique to offer.
People love watching Naruto Uzumaki’s story and his life journey, but some fans wish that some other characters got their own arcs, better yet their own series. Here are the top 10 ‘Naruto’ characters that deserve their own series.
10) Hashirama
Hashirama was the first Hokage of Konoha and he is one of the strongest Kage of all time. He is the reason why the village was built and he helped the other villages as well. His past has been mentioned many times in the series, but fans would love to see his life in detail. They wish to see him grow from a child to one of the strongest people in the series. This makes him one of the top 10 ‘Naruto’ characters that deserve their own series.
9) Itachi
One cannot hope for a spin-off series for other characters and leave Itachi out of it. He sacrificed everything for his village and was labeled a traitor. Fans wish to see a series dedicated to him and the struggles he faced. Some fans also wish to see an alternate universe kind of series where Itachi did not kill his clan and fans wish to see how the events unfold after that.
8) Obito
Obito’s story is quite sad. He was manipulated by both Madara and black Zetsu and as a result did some very bad things. Fans wish to see him finally achieve his happy ending with Rin. They want a spin-off series where Obito doesn’t get crushed and Rin doesn’t die. This makes him one of the top 10 ‘Naruto’ characters that deserve their own series.
7) Tsunade
Tsunade was a very important figure in the series and fans would like to see more of her. They want to see her interactions with Hashirama, Jiraiya, and even Orochimaru. They would also like to see a younger version of her when she was a genin or chunin. This makes her one of the top 10 ‘Naruto’ characters that deserve their own series.
6) Kakashi
Kakashi’s childhood was similar to Naruto’s. He was also disliked by the villagers and he lost both his parents. His story is one that Uzumaki Naruto fans would resonate with the most. They would like to see how he coped with everything and how Minato helped him before he died.
5) Kushina
Kushina is Uzumaki Naruto’s mother. It is her fiery personality that Naruto got. Fans would love to see her story from the start. This would allow them to see the Uzumaki clan and its working. They also wish to see her growing as a Shinobi in the academy and her relationship with Minato. This makes her one of the top 10 ‘Naruto’ characters that deserve their own series.
4) Gaara
Gaara is another Jinchuriki and he also suffered because of it. His redemption arc was amazing and fans would like to see more of it. They wish to see Gaara and his life in Suna. Gaara’s spin-off series would give fans an insight as to how he became the Kazekage and how he got kinder and stronger.
3) Nagato Uzumaki
Uzumaki Nagato was one of the strongest opponents Naruto ever had to face. His rinnegan gave him many abilities. A story centered around him would give fans an insight as to how he managed to become Pain and how his thought process worked. It would also give an insight into the creation of Akatsuki and how Nagato navigated through all that.
2) Uchiha Shisui
Similar to Itachi, Shisui was a prodigy as well. He was an even more terrifying Genjutsu practitioner than Itachi. He suffered a terrible fate and fans want to learn more about him and the abilities he had. The Kotoamatsukami is the strongest Genjutsu and Shisui knew it at a very young age. Fans would love to see his story and all the events that led up to his death.
1) Minato Namikaze
If there is one character that all the ‘Naruto’ want to see more of, it is Namikaze Minato. He was feared throughout the five nations and was considered the strongest Shinobi of his generation. Fans want to see his childhood, how he got this powerful, and of course the relationship he had with the people of the village. This makes him one of the top 10 ‘Naruto’ characters that deserve their own series.
