This is a list of antagonists in the Naruto anime and manga series.

Creation and conception

When creating the antagonists of the Naruto, series creator Masashi Kishimoto's primary goal was to create villains that were directly opposed to the lead characters' moral values. He stated that this focus on illustrating the difference in values is central to his creation of villains to the point that, "I don't really think about them in combat". The villains' physical appearances were embellished in order to differentiate them from other characters. Kishimoto commented that "[t]he difference between the heroes and the villains must be obvious" and that the different appearances should make it easier for a reader to follow the story and "recognize that 'this character is a bad guy'", even in heated battle scenes.[1] In some cases, Kishimoto creates antagonists to fight specific characters, and ensures that the antagonists' unique attributes "make the battles interesting".[2] Kishimoto also noted that making the villains "flamboyant" with a "showy costume" is part of his "guiding principles" in ensuring the villains were clearly visible from the other characters in the story, as well as making them "more memorable".[1]

Otogakure

See also: World of Naruto

Otogakure (音隠れの里, Otogakure no Sato, lit. "Village Hidden in Sound") is a village founded by Orochimaru for the purpose of collecting ninja for his experiments to learn all the jutsu in the world. The village is not contiguous, consisting of multiple assorted lairs located within the Land of Sound and outside it.

Orochimaru

Main article: Orochimaru (Naruto)

Orochimaru (大蛇丸) is one of the primary antagonists of the Naruto series. To emphasize his role as a villain, Kishimoto worked towards making him appear "pasty and sickly" as part of his theme of distinguishing villains from the protagonists.[2] In the series, Orochimaru is a former ninja of Konohagakure and a student of the Third Hokage. During his time in the village, he distinguished himself as one of the village's most powerful ninja along with his teammates, Jiraiya and Tsunade.[3] His desire to obtain immortality led him to conduct experiments on other Konohagakure ninja, and he eventually fled the village and joined the criminal organization Akatsuki.[4] After an incident with Itachi Uchiha, he left Akatsuki and established his own ninja village, Otogakure, in the hopes of destroying his former home.[5] His immortality technique involves transferring his consciousness between different host bodies, and his desire for a new host, particularly Sasuke Uchiha, is one of his driving motivations throughout the series.[6] Because of his different host bodies and the disguises he assumes, a panoply of voice actors are utilized for Orochimaru; his most common seiyū in the Japanese anime is Kujira, and the corresponding English voice actor is Steven Blum.[7][8]

Kabuto Yakushi

Kabuto Yakushi (薬師 カブト, Yakushi Kabuto) is Orochimaru's foremost servant. As a child, he was found on a battlefield by a medical officer from Konohagakure, who took Kabuto and raised him as a son.[9] Kabuto began acting as a spy for numerous countries and organizations, including the criminal organization Akatsuki, which ordered him to enter the service of Orochimaru.[10] Kabuto uses his various former affiliations as a means to gather intelligence on Orochimaru's behalf; for instance, he participates in the yearly ninja exams as a villager of Konohagakure so as to gather information on his fellow participants.[9] Although Kabuto has professed his utmost loyalty to Orochimaru, Orochimaru has admitted that he cannot determine where Kabuto's true loyalties lie, and has suggested that Kabuto secretly works against him.[11]

Kabuto is highly proficient with medical techniques, being likened in ability to Tsunade: he can regenerate from wounds by reactivating dead cells in order to grow new ones and can form a scalpel with chakra to deal precise blows to his opponents.[12] Orochimaru uses Kabuto's talents in his human experiments, primarily to keep test subjects alive for longer than is normally feasible.[13] During Part I, he infiltrates Konohagakure to prepare for Orochimaru's invasion, and rejoins Orochimaru in Otogakure following the invasion. In Part II, after Orochimaru is killed, Kabuto integrates Orochimaru's remains into his body in order to become powerful enough to not serve anyone again.[14] In the Japanese anime, Kabuto's seiyū is Nobutoshi Canna,[15] and his English voice actor is Henry Dittman.[16]

Sound Four

The Sound Four (音隠れの忍四人衆, Otogakure no Shinobi Yonin Shū, lit. "Hidden Sound Shinobi Four People", English TV: "Sound Ninja Four") are Orochimaru's elite bodyguards. They are introduced during Orochimaru's invasion of Konohagakure, but do not become a prominent part of the story until Sasuke Uchiha attempts to leave Konohagakure to join Otogakure. The Sound Four act as his bodyguards, and although they are all defeated by Konohagakure ninja, Sasuke manages to escape.[17] The group was originally known as the "Sound Five", as they were forced to accept Kimimaro as the leader after he defeated the entire group in battle. After Kimimaro became bedridden due to his illness, the group resumed calling themselves the Sound Four.[18] As a group they specialize in barriers, defensive walls, and sealing techniques. Orochimaru has given each member of the group one of his cursed seals, which allows him to control them and greatly increases the strength of the user when active.[17]

Jirobo

Jirobo (次郎坊, Jirōbō) is the first member of the Sound Four to be introduced in the series. When Masashi Kishimoto was creating the Sound Four, he was the third member of the group to be created, and was intended to be the largest member of the group.[2] Jirobo is the physically strongest member: he can lift boulder-sized rocks and hurl them across long distances with ease. He can also absorb others' chakra, which he uses as a form of sustenance.[19] His fellow Sound Four member Tayuya frequently calls Jirobo fat due to his size and habit of consuming chakra, something he is quick to scold her for.[20] When Sasuke Uchiha leaves Konohagakure, Jirobo battles Choji Akimichi, and after criticizing Choji for his girth, Choji uses his strongest attack to defeat Jirobo.[21] In the Japanese anime, his seiyū is Kenta Miyake,[22] and his English voice actor is Michael Sorich.[23]

Kidomaru

Kidomaru (鬼童丸, Kidōmaru) is the second member of the Sound Four to be introduced in the series. He was the first member of the Sound Four created by Masashi Kishimoto, with his spider-like traits meant to be main aspects of his character.[2] As such, Kidomaru possesses six arms, a third eye, and the ability to excrete webs from his mouth. This webbing, a mixture of body fluids and chakra, is as strong as steel and can ensnare anything that comes into contact with it. He can also produce a golden webbing that hardens upon contact with oxygen, allowing him to make armor or weapons.[24] Kidomaru treats battles as a game and tries to get as much enjoyment from them as possible; when he battles Neji Hyuga, he calls him a "trash character" and looks for weaknesses in Neji's defenses to take advantage of.[25] Despite being near death, Neji manages to defeat Kidomaru.[26] In the Japanese anime, his seiyū is Susumu Chiba,[27] and his English voice actor is Peter Lurie.[28]

Sakon and Ukon

Sakon (左近) and Ukon (右近) are twin brothers who share the same position in the Sound Four. Sakon was the final character in the Sound Four created by Kishimoto, who initially was unable to decide which character for him to fight. After deciding to have him battle Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru in a two-on-two battle, Kishimoto created Ukon to complete the matchup.[2] In battle, Sakon enjoys toying with his opponents, causing him to waste time in battle by using showy techniques. Conversely, Ukon is impatient and likes to end battles quickly. Due to their genetic ability, the brothers can merge their bodies together. Ukon usually resides in Sakon's body, with only his head protruding on Sakon's back.[29] When Sakon battles an opponent, Ukon can protrude his arms and legs from Sakon's body to increase the strength of his attacks and defend his blindspots.[30] Both brothers can also merge with an opponent's body, where they can destroy the opponent's cells from within.[31] Sakon and Ukon manage to overpower Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru in their battle, but Kankuro arrives and kills Sakon and Ukon.[32] In the Japanese anime, the seiyū for both brothers is Shunsuke Sakuya,[33] and their English voice actor is Brian Beacock.[34]

Tayuya

Tayuya (多由也) is the fourth member of the Sound Four introduced in the series. She was the second member of the Sound Four to be created by Masashi Kishimoto, and was intended to be the only girl in a group of boys.[2] She uses a flute in battle to control three demonic beasts that she summons to her side during battle. Though primarily meant to perform the physical attacks she avoids, the beasts can also produce ethereal, snake-like creatures that consume an opponent's chakra.[35] Once her opponents are weakened in this fashion, Tayuya can trap them in illusions she creates with her flute. She attempts to use her many techniques against Shikamaru Nara, but his superior intelligence forces her to rely on brute strength to gain victory.[36] Though she almost succeeds, Temari arrives to help Shikamaru and creates a windstorm that crushes Tayuya under a pile of debris.[32] Her seiyū in the Japanese anime is Akeno Watanabe,[37] and her English voice actor is Kari Wahlgren.[38]

Kimimaro

Kimimaro (君麻呂) is one of Orochimaru's premier servants, and the last surviving member of the Kaguya clan (かぐや一族, Kaguya Ichizoku). When his war-loving family died in battle, Orochimaru took Kimimaro into his care.[39] Because of this, Kimimaro develops the belief that Orochimaru is the only person who cares for him, and is completely loyal to him. His clan's genetic ability, Shikotsumyaku (屍骨脈, lit. "Dead Bone Pulse"), allows Kimimaro to manipulate his skeletal structure. He can grow additional bones and sprout them from any part of his body, enabling him to use them as melee weapons. His genetic ability also allows him to strengthen his bones to a steel-like quality, making him virtually immune to most types of damage.[40] Due to his unique abilities, Orochimaru chose Kimimaro as his future host body, but Kimimaro contracted an illness that left him bedridden. He leaves with the rest of the Sound Four to ensure Sasuke Uchiha reaches Orochimaru,[18] and battles Rock Lee and Gaara. Although he nearly kills both of them, he dies of his illness during the battle.[41] In the Japanese anime, his seiyū is Toshiyuki Morikawa,[42] and when he is featured as a child, he is voiced by Makoto Tsumura.[43] His English voice actor Keith Silverstein,[44] and Kari Wahlgren provides his child voice.[38]

Akatsuki

File:Akatsukispread.jpg
The Akatsuki roster as of Naruto manga chapter 317

Akatsuki (暁, lit. "Dawn" or "Daybreak") is a criminal organization composed of ten high-level ninja that have defected from their village of origin.[45] The group receives little attention during the first part of the series, only becoming major antagonists in Part II. Akatsuki members are characterized by their long, dark cloaks bearing red clouds with a chin-high collar. Each also possesses a unique ring, which seems to symbolize one's membership in the organization.[46] Members are partnered together in teams of two, each team sticking together as they traverse the Naruto world. Despite this partnership, members tend to have a strained relationship with their peers, only cooperating enough to complete their assignments and showing little concern when another member is killed.[47] Orochimaru defects from the organization before the start of the series, taking his ring with him, and thus Akatsuki never exceeds nine members during the current storyline.[45]

Akatsuki was founded by Madara Uchiha after he was expelled from his hometown of Konohagakure. Though initially meant only to mask Madara's movements,[48] Akatsuki eventually began taking part in assassinations and espionage.[45] By the start of the current storyline, Akatsuki's ambitions grow to plans of world domination. To mark this more dynamic goal, Akatsuki increases its activity throughout the series as it attempts to capture the nine powerful tailed beasts. Each member is assigned to capture a specific beast or its current host, at which point Akatsuki convenes to extract the beast and seal it away for their grand plan.[45] As the Akatsuki leader, Pain, explains it, once all nine beasts have been captured Akatsuki will be able to harness their great strength to start world wars at their leisure. With the world governments unable to deal with the beasts' power, Akatsuki will be turned to for salvation, teaching the world the meaninglessness of fighting and giving Akatsuki complete control in the process.[49] As of Naruto manga chapter 404, Akatsuki has captured the first seven beasts.

Itachi Uchiha

Itachi Uchiha (うちは イタチ, Uchiha Itachi) is a former ninja of Konohagakure and the partner of Kisame Hoshigaki. Though having spent his early youth as the kindly child prodigy of the Uchiha clan, Itachi is treated as a villain for much of the series. He is initially portrayed as being solely responsible for the slaughter of his entire family, sparing only his brother, Sasuke Uchiha, with the explanation that he was testing his abilities.[50] Around the time of his death his villainous role is downplayed; not only is he revealed to have had help from his master, Madara Uchiha, in killing the clan, but he performed the massacre under the orders of Konoha's leadership so as to prevent an Uchiha coup d'état. Though he was ordered to kill Sasuke as well, Itachi could not bring himself to do so, instead forcing Konoha to keep Sasuke safe or risk Itachi going public with his mission. For his part, Itachi accepts his role as a villain, never telling anyone of who else was involved and even encouraging Sasuke to grow strong enough to kill him and avenge their family.[51]

Throughout the series Itachi attempts to avoid combat, seeking nonviolent discussions instead. If he is forced to battle he usually remains stationary, only acting in self-defense. From his idle position he studies an opponent's movements with his Sharingan eyes, trapping them in illusions when opportune by merely pointing or looking at them.[52] Itachi at times uses one of the three abilities of his Mangekyo Sharingan, though he tries to avoid doing so as it is taxing on his body and damages his eyesight.[48] The first, Tsukuyomi (月読), allows him to torture opponents for what seems like days in a matter of moments. Amaterasu (天照), the second, generates black flames at his focal point that will continue to burn until the target is reduced to ash.[53] The final ability, Susanoo (須佐能乎), creates a massive ethereal warrior that fights on Itachi's behalf and shields him from all attacks.[54] Before he dies during his battle with Sasuke, Itachi implants his Amaterasu in Sasuke's eyes, hoping that doing so will keep him safe from Madara Uchiha.[55] In the Japanese anime, Itachi's seiyū is Hideo Ishikawa.[56] His first voice actor in the English anime was Skip Stellrecht, who voiced Itachi in episodes 29 and 30,[57] but in all following appearances, he has been voiced by Crispin Freeman.[58]

Kisame Hoshigaki

Kisame Hoshigaki (干柿 鬼鮫, Hoshigaki Kisame) is a former ninja of Kirigakure and the partner of Itachi Uchiha. While most Akatsuki partners are hostile towards each other, Kisame and Itachi get along considerably well; Kisame does as Itachi asks of him unquestioningly and always looks out for Itachi's well-being. While he was still loyal to Kirigakure, Kisame was one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, a group of violent ninja that use particularly large swords in battle. His sword, Samehada (鮫肌, lit. "shark skin"), is covered in scales, can absorb untold amounts of an opponent's chakra, and only allows Kisame to wield it.[59] Kisame has a unique appearance, having pale blue skin, a gill-like facial structure, and sharp triangular teeth. These shark-like characteristics extend to his choice of attacks in battle, as he frequently shapes water into the forms of sharks to damage opponents. If there is no water nearby, Kisame can quickly produce his own lake to use at his leisure.[60] His seiyū in the Japanese anime is Tomoyuki Dan,[61] and his English voice actor is Kirk Thornton.[62]

Deidara

Deidara (デイダラ) is a former ninja of Iwagakure. He tends to end his sentences with an audible grunt that is usually translated as "hmm" or "yeah". He acted as a terrorist bomber for hire before being forced to join Akatsuki by Itachi Uchiha. Though he came to embrace the organization, Deidara holds a grudge against Itachi and all Uchiha throughout the series, as he feels their Sharingan eyes look down on his abilities.[63] Upon joining Akatsuki he is partnered with Sasori, who Deidara treats as his master due to his artistic expertise. Sasori is replaced by Tobi after his death, and Deidara assumes the master-position as Sasori had before him; although he still abuses Tobi when annoyed by him, he becomes more like Tobi's teacher, and adopts a genuine care for his well-being. By consuming clay with mouths in his hands, Deidara is able to create his own form of art: sculptures that explode with varying intensities. Deidara's creations can take any form he so chooses, and from the time of their creation to their detonation he can bring them to life and control them remotely. He is very confident in his art's ability, such that he believes it cannot be defeated.[64] When Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi's younger brother, is able to systematically nullify and gain the advantage over his art, Deidara transforms himself into a living bomb in an effort to kill Sasuke and prove his art is supreme, but ultimately fails.[65] His seiyū in the Japanese anime is Katsuhiko Kawamoto,[66] and in the English adaptation, he is voiced by Quinton Flynn.[67]

Sasori

Sasori (サソリ) is a former ninja of Sunagakure. His parents died when he was young, leaving him in the care of his grandmother, Chiyo. Lacking the love of parents, Sasori left Sunagakure when he got older and joined Akatsuki where he is initially partnered with Orochimaru.[68] After Orochimaru's defection Sasori teamed with Deidara, who looks to him and his artistic knowledge with reverence.[64] Before leaving Sunagakure, Sasori was taught the art of puppetry by his grandmother, which he refined to fit his needs over the years. He eventually devised a way to convert the corpses of humans into puppets, allowing him to use any of the ninja abilities they possessed during their life for himself.[68] In time he even converted his own body into a puppet, which gives him eternal life and allows him to control hundreds of puppets at once. Each weapon in his puppets' extended arsenal is laced with a poison of Sasori's design that causes extreme pain to the inflicted until they die. Sakura Haruno is able to create an antidote for Sasori's poison, allowing her and Chiyo to fight him uninhibited.[69] They eventually destroy his heart, the only part of his humanity he kept when converting himself to a puppet, resulting in his death.[70] In the Japanese anime, Sasori has several seiyū for his different appearances: when he is controlling Hiruko, a scorpion-like puppet he wears like a suit, he is voiced by Yutaka Aoyama;[71] when he is featured as a child, he is voiced as Akiko Yajima;[72] and as an adult, he is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai.[73]

Zetsu

Zetsu (ゼツ) is the only member of Akatsuki to regularly act without a partner (because he is his own partner). This is in part a result of his ability to merge with any object and quickly travel to a new location, a feat few other ninja are capable of. Because of this ability Zetsu serves a variety of different positions in Akatsuki, such as a spy that observes and reports on battles of interest or a lookout during Akatsuki's meetings.[74] Being cannibalistic, he is often sent to dispose of bodies Akatsuki does not want found, mirroring the large venus flytrap that envelops his body.[75] Zetsu's body is split into two different colors, his right side being black and his left being white. Similarly, the two sides have their own personalities and knowledge bases, frequently leading to discussions and arguments between the two.[53] The black half speaks in katakana in the Japanese manga, and white speaks kanji and kana. In the Japanese anime, Zetsu's seiyū is Nobuo Tobita,[76] and in the English adaptation, Zetsu has two voice actors: the black half is voiced by Michael Sorich and the white half is voiced by Brian Beacock.[23][34]

Hidan

Hidan (飛段) is the immortal, foul-mouthed partner of Kakuzu and a former ninja of Yugakure.[77] He is a member of the Jashin (ジャシン, lit. "evil god") religion, a religion that worships a deity of the same name and where anything less than death and utter destruction is considered a sin.[78] His religion seems, to some extent, to extend to his unique abilities; by consuming an opponent's blood and then drawing Jashin's triangular-design on the ground, Hidan can create a voodoo doll-like link with his opponent. Once this link is created, any damage done to Hidan's body is reflected on his opponent, allowing him to kill them by giving himself fatal injuries. Because he is immortal, Hidan is not impaired while doing this, instead finding pleasure in the pain it causes him.[79] After Hidan uses this ability to kill Asuma Sarutobi, Shikamaru Nara fights him to avenge his teacher. Their battle culminates in Hidan being blown up, and Shikamaru buries his still-speaking remains in a place Akatsuki will never be able to reach.[80] As such, Hidan is no longer considered a member by the rest of Akatsuki.[47] In the Japanese anime, Hidan's seiyū is Masaki Terasoma.

Kakuzu

Kakuzu (角都) is a former ninja of Takigakure and the partner of Hidan. He has a deep love for money, and uses his membership in Akatsuki as a means to seek out valuable bounties. Because money is the only thing he relies on, Kakuzu dislikes needing to be partnered with someone in Akatsuki. He has killed all of his previous partners in fits of rage, and thus was paired with the immortal Hidan so he wouldn't need to keep finding a replacement.[81] Kakuzu's body is composed of large amounts of black threads, allowing him to sew things (such as Hidan's dismembered body parts) back together. The threads are also capable of piercing flesh, which Kakuzu uses to remove the still-beating hearts of his opponents for his personal use using a forbidden technique called Jiongu (地怨虞).[82] By integrating these healthier organs into his body he can escape death and extend his life indefinitely. He can store up to four spare hearts in animal masks that are sewn to his back. The masks can be detached during combat situations to shoot elemental blasts at his opponents, and can quickly be recalled to his body if he needs their heart.[83] Kakuzu's hearts are systematically destroyed soon after his introduction by a group of Konohagakure ninja. After Naruto Uzumaki leaves his final heart on the brink of failure, Kakuzu is easily finished off by Kakashi Hatake.[84] In the Japanese anime, Kakuzu's seiyū is Takaya Hashi.

Pain

File:Pain Rokudou.gif
Pain's initial six bodies

Pain (ペイン, Pein) is the leader of Akatsuki and the partner of Konan. He appears in the form of six entirely different bodies that share the same mind, collectively referred to as "The Six Paths of Pain" (ペイン六道, Pein Rokudō). The only common physical characteristics amongst them are their orange hair color, a number of body piercings, and the Rinnegan (輪廻眼, lit. "Samsara Eye").[85] The Rinnegan, a unique eye technique characterized by a number of concentric circles around the pupil, allows the wielder to utilize any ninja ability.[86] Pain uses it to share visual information amongst all six bodies, giving them the ability to coordinate offense and defense as if they were a single entity. Each body possesses a unique skill; the body with a large ponytail, for example, can summon a wide array of creatures, while the fat body is able to absorb attacks as a form of defense.[87] Following the capture of one of the six bodies by Jiraiya, a new body appears to replace it. Pain's might was enough to overthrow Amegakure's former governmental body, giving Pain control of the village and god-like status amongst its citizens.[88]

When first meeting Pain, Jiraiya assumes the entity to have once been Nagato (長門), an Amegakure orphan he trained in the past. Though Nagato was the first possessor of the Rinnegan that he encountered and Pain refers to him as sensei,[86] Jiraiya begins to doubt this initial assumption when he sees Pain's six bodies, one of them belonging to Nagato's fellow pupil, Yahiko (弥彦). Realizing that all six bodies once belonged to ninja he encountered while wandering the Naruto world and that Nagato's body is not among them, Jiraiya risks his life to learn the secret of Pain.[89] He succeeds and is able to send one of Pain's bodies, along with a coded message reading, "the real one isn't with them" or, in an alternative reading of the statement, "there is no real one" to Konohagakure, though he is killed in the process. Pain heads to Konoha shortly afterwards so as to capture the nine-tailed demon fox before his secret can be revealed.

Konan

Konan (小南) is the partner of the Akatsuki leader, Pain, and the only female ninja in Akatsuki. She was orphaned as a child by one of Amegakure's many wars, forcing her to fend for herself until being found by Jiraiya. Jiraiya trained Konan to take advantage of her natural talent with origami, and as a result paper is a key component in her battle style.[86] Konan can divide her body into countless numbers of paper sheets, which she controls and reshapes remotely to scout out an area or form weapons for attack. She can even form wings that mirror her title as "God's Angel" amongst the villagers of Amegakure, as she often carries out Pain's (who has the title of "God") will. Her abilities are constrained while wet, as paper clings to itself and loses its stiffness.[90]

Madara Uchiha

Madara Uchiha (うちは　マダラ, Uchiha Madara) is the founder of Akatsuki and the first possessor of the Mangekyo Sharingan, a rare form of the eye condition unique to the Uchiha. Though it gave him the strength needed to take control of the Uchiha clan, overuse of the Mangekyo Sharingan left him blind, and it was only by taking his own brother's eyes that he was able to regain his sight.[48] Madara eventually banded together with Hashirama Senju to create Konohagakure. The two founders disagreed on who should lead their new village and after a momentous battle between the two it was believed that Madara had died.[91] In later years the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konoha, an act Itachi Uchiha states to have been Madara's doing, though Madara denies it. Once the fox was defeated by Minato Namikaze, Madara infiltrated Konoha in secret, trained Itachi, and subsequently assisted him in assassinating the Uchiha clan.[92] Kisame Hoshigaki, upon seeing his face, recognizes him as the Mizukage.

Much of Madara's role in the series has been under the guise of Tobi (トビ), who replaces Sasori in Akatsuki after his death. While acting as Tobi he is carefree and goofy as opposed to Madara's usual serious and stereotypically "villainous" self. Tobi's tendency to take credit for other's work and undermine his superiors annoys his partner, Deidara, who either blows up or strangles him in comical fashion as punishment.[93] After Deidara dies during a battle with Sasuke, the only Uchiha to be spared during the massacre, the Tobi persona is discarded as Madara takes a special interest in Sasuke's development.[94] However, Madara has not completely outlived the use of his guise as he reassumes Tobi's personality on occasion, such as while delaying a group of Konoha ninja.[95]

Though Madara's face as it appeared during Konoha's founding has been shown in full at various points in the series, he always wears a mask in the current Naruto storyline. The mask features a swirl pattern focused around his right eye. His black hair (cut back from his earlier years) is the only constantly visible part of his face. When asked how Madara could have survived since Konoha's founding, Itachi Uchiha states that Madara is immortal.[96] The specifics of his immortality have yet to be touched upon, though Madara implies the potency of his chakra has something to do with it.[97] In battle he has been shown capable of making his body intangible, leaving him visible but otherwise impervious to most forms of damage. He can also teleport over great distances at will.[98] In the Japanese anime, the seiyū for Tobi is Wataru Takagi.[99]

Hawk (鷹, Taka) is a group formed by Sasuke Uchiha that consists of Orochimaru's former subordinates. When first formed it goes by the name "Snake" (蛇, Hebi), with its mission being to find and kill Sasuke's brother, Itachi Uchiha, to avenge the latter's slaughter of the Uchiha clan.[100] After Itachi's death and Sasuke's discovery that the Uchiha were wiped out under the orders of Konohagakure, Sasuke renames their group "Hawk" and changes its mission to the destruction of Konoha. In the meantime, Sasuke has agreed to work with Akatsuki to help them capture the eight-tailed beast; the members of Hawk are later seen wearing Akatsuki cloaks to signify this.[101]

Sasuke Uchiha

Main article: Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke Uchiha (うちは サスケ, Uchiha Sasuke) is originally one of the members of Team 7 and the founder and leader of Hawk. He was created to be a rival to Naruto Uzumaki, as well as a "cool genius", which Kishimoto believed was an integral part of an ideal rivalry.[102] He is one of the few remaining members of the Uchiha clan along with his brother, Itachi Uchiha, who killed the rest of their family. Due to this, Sasuke's sole desire is to kill his brother, and he develops a cold and withdrawn personality.[103] His interactions with his fellow teammates, especially Naruto, make him focus less on revenge at the start of the series. During an encounter with his brother in Part I, Sasuke is easily beaten, which leads him to leave the village to seek more power from the criminal Orochimaru.[104] His teammates' attempts to recover him from Orochimaru form a major component of the Part II plot. In the Japanese anime, Sasuke's seiyū is Noriaki Sugiyama, and his English voice actor is Yuri Lowenthal.[105][106]

Suigetsu Hozuki

Suigetsu Hozuki (鬼灯　水月, Hōzuki Suigetsu), a former test subject of Orochimaru, is the first character to be recruited for Hawk. He is not afraid to speak his mind and always does as he pleases. When he is first introduced this results in frequent clashes with Hawk's leader, Sasuke Uchiha, but he later comes to accept Sasuke's position and even put himself in harm's way to protect him.[107] Suigetsu is able to reduce himself to liquid form and return to bodily form at will. Although this gives him an easy way to avoid physical attacks, it also makes him very susceptible to electricity. In addition, upon reforming himself, Suigetsu can change the size of his limbs, proportionally increasing his strength in the process.[108] Sometime before being introduced, Suigetsu trained to be one of Kirigakure's Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, an organization of particularly violent swordsmen. Having been unable to become a member, Suigetsu has begun collecting all of the swords of the Seven Swordsmen for himself instead. To this end, he retrieves Zabuza Momochi's giant sword, Kubikiri Hōchō, soon after joining the group, and hopes to be able to take Kisame Hoshigaki's Samehada by working with Sasuke.[100]

Karin

Karin (香燐), a former assistant to Orochimaru during his experimentations, is the second character to be recruited for Hawk. Karin has red eyes, matching hair color and an unusual hairstyle; her hair is short and unkempt on one side, and long and combed on the other. She tends to fluctuate between two dynamic personalities, appearing tough and in control when Suigetsu or Jugo are present and highly flirtatious when she is with Sasuke.[108] Karin has an unhealthy obsession with Sasuke; she goes so far as to keep one of his battered, sweat-drenched shirts for herself and plans to "ravage" him after the rest of the team has fallen asleep. Karin's special ability allows her to find and track specific individuals through chakra. She is able to do so over long distances and can even notice subtle changes in an individual's chakra. Kakashi Hatake surmises that Karin is a particularly skilled chakra-sensing ninja, as she is not only able to tell that his eight-man team is approaching her location, but also that one of them is a dog.[109] Additionally, she can heal others by letting them bite into her skin and suck on her chakra. As a result, some parts of her body are lined with bite scars from individuals she has healed.

Jugo

Jugo (重吾, Jūgo) is the final character to be recruited for Hawk. He is mentally unstable, sporadically fluctuating between a bloodthirsty and a docile personality. While in the former mindset, Jugo kills anyone around him without remorse until he somehow returns to his senses, at which point he seeks confinement or solitude to protect others from himself.[110] It is only through Sasuke Uchiha's promise to keep him in check and the fact that Sasuke reminds him of Kimimaro that Jugo agrees to join Hawk.[100] Sometime in the past, Jugo sought out Orochimaru in the hopes that he could find a cure for his impulses. While examining him, Orochimaru isolated enzymes in Jugo's blood that caused him to radically transform the appearance and capabilities of his body. By extracting these enzymes, Orochimaru was able to reproduce the transformation in his own subordinates, making the cursed seal.[111] Though Orochimaru's refined transformations are more controllable, his subordinates are limited to using only one form. Jugo is able to alter his transformed state to suit the situation, and can even isolate the transformation to a single part of his body.[110] He can also fuse some of his own flesh with another cursed seal user in order to heal their injuries, but he regresses to a younger age as a side-effect.

Other

Zabuza Momochi

Zabuza Momochi (桃地　再不斬, Momochi Zabuza) is one of the first antagonists to be introduced in Naruto. He was once one of Kirigakure's Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, a group of ninja that use particularly large swords in battle. Zabuza's sword is the giant Kubikiri Hōchō (首斬り包丁, lit. Decapitating Knife). After a failed coup d'état wherein he tried to assassinate Kirigakure's leadership, Zabuza and his followers fled the village and began working as mercenary assassins.[112] Like most Kirigakure ninja, Zabuza is skilled in water-based abilities. His area of expertise, however, is in assassinations; by blanketing an area in mist, Zabuza can blind an opponent, locate them by the sounds they make, and kill them without their ever noticing his presence.[113] His talents lead to him being hired to kill a man named Tazuna, a job he is never able to finish due to interference by Tazuna's bodyguard, Kakashi Hatake. Because he takes too long to complete the task, his contract is revoked, and his employer tries to have Zabuza killed. Zabuza kills him first, though is heavily injured in the process and dies soon afterwards.[114] In the Japanese anime, his seiyū is Unshō Ishizuka,[115] and his English voice actor is Steven Blum.[8]

Haku

Haku (白) is Zabuza Momochi's right hand man and most faithful follower. He has a heavily androgynous appearance, such that when Naruto Uzumaki first meets Haku he mistakes him for a girl.[116] Before he started working for Zabuza, Haku lived as an orphan. His father killed his mother when it was discovered that she possessed a genetic ability, and he would have done the same to Haku if he had not killed him first. After wandering from place to place for a time he was found by Zabuza, who recognized Haku's talents and agreed to take him in as a tool. As a result, Haku becomes unquestioningly protective of and loyal to Zabuza, and only by being useful does he find a purpose in life.[117] He ultimately gives his life in his mission to be useful to Zabuza, becoming a human shield to protect his master from Kakashi Hatake's Lightning Blade.[112] Haku's genetic inheritance, Hyōton (氷遁, lit. "Ice Release"), allows him to mix wind and water elements to create ice. He commonly uses this ability to surround an enemy with ice mirrors that he can freely merge with and instantly move between. He then bombards them with needles, and with his superb accuracy he can hit pressure points to put opponents in a death-like state. This reflects his pacifist nature; despite being a ninja and Zabuza's tool of battle, Haku dislikes fighting and does all that he can to subdue opponents without actually killing them.[118] His seiyū in the Japanese anime is Mayumi Asano,[119] and his English voice actor is Susan Dalian.[120]
