Hmm, tough one but these have consistently held my interest.
I have almost no passion for the antagonists and see them mostly as impediments to be overcome by the heroes.
- Shikamaru Nara ~ He's smart and his power requires strategy as opposed to just overpowering an opponent like too many other members
- Hinata Hyuga ~ She's insecure but courageous. She appeared to die in the last episode I saw sometime ago, but I question if that stuck. Don't tell me if it didn't!
- Shizune ~ Tsunade's girl-friday, tenacious and loyal but also humorously exasperated by the 5th's irresponsibilities
- The nine-tailed demon fox - the entity that powers Naruto is more interesting to me than Naruto himself. It's like a force of nature, wild and devastating.
- Sakura Haruno ~ I didn't like her at all in the original series but have grown quite fond of her in Shippuuden.
