First and foremost I shall put this! I was surfing through pictures on Google and found one of Ash Crimson from KoF....Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like Danny Phantom in this picture!?!?!*Points to the picture below.*
Now, I shall talk about Naruto! Yes! One of the best mangas in the world! So, you all(or at least most of you) know that Cartoon Network has aired the hit Shonen Jump manga series, Naruto. Okay so it's not the manga, but it's the anime they show. I love both, but the manga has more info and pictures unless you watch the Japenese episodes that haven't been dubbed! Oh, I have to show this picture from the Japanese episode! It's hilarious!!!!
Now you can't tell me you wouldn't have loved to see tht happen, right? I mean come on, the manga shows it, so why not the anime in America? Wait...That's right. We have a law against all the gay people....Well at least their marriage! Anywho! Back to talking about Naruto. My favorite charecter is Hatake, Kakashi. Now to give a short(or not so short) biography on Hatake, Kakashi!
Name: Hatake Kakashi
Age: 26
Birthday: 15 September
Zodiac: Virgo
Rank: Special Jounin
From: Leaf
Teacher: Yondaime
Students: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura
Also Known As: Copy Ninja Kakashi
Only Original Skill : Chidori
Hobby: Reading adult books like "Come come Paradise" and being late.
What's under his mask : Another mask!
Background: Team 7's teacher, and has a mysterious background regarding his Sharingan that everyone's dying to find out.
The Deal with him: Kakashi's the 1st ninja in the series that we see wearing a mask. His past is shrouded in mystery. His left eye is an implanted Sharingan eye which he used to copy over thousands of techniques, and earned him the nickname of Copy Ninja Kakashi. Infact, his only original move is the Chidori (Chirping of a Thousand Birds) or later also known as Raikiri (Lightning Edge) for cutting through lightning.
Team 7 is the 1st group of Genins that Kakashi passed as it seemed that they have comprehended the importance of teamwork. Yet now, it seems that the teamwork is falling apart because of Sasuke's wussi-ness.
Though cool and very attractive, Kakashi is a somewhat biased teacher as we see that he places more energy in teaching Sasuke. He's not as serious when teaching Naruto and seems to give up on Sakura. He might be making the same mistake as Sandaime Hokage for 'investing' in the wrong ninja.
Kakashi is seldom on time for an appointment because he always spends too much time staring at his dead best friend's grave (how he died is another mystery).

Now a short biography on Rock Lee, my friend Jennifer's favorite charecter!
Name: Rock Lee
Age: 14
Birthday: 27 November
Zodiac: Sagittarius
Rank: Genin
From: Leaf
Teacher: Maito Gai
Teammates: Hyuuga Neji, Tenten
Only uses : Taijutsu
Power jutsus : Primary and Secondary lotus
Background: Dropout from school who can only use taijutsu but trains to be strong. Believes that a dropout can defeat a genius through hard work.
The Deal with him: Too unique for Sakura's tastes but touched Sakura ultimately to care for him, Rock Lee is one who never gives up. In that way, he's like Naruto. Though a dropout who couldn't use ninjutsu, Lee's ambition was to be an excellent ninja. His perserverence (and fuzzy eyebrows) grabbed the attention of Maito Gai, his teacher, who trains him hard to be the most powerful taijutsu specialist at the Chuunin exams.
Unfortunately for Lee, he was matched up against Gaara during the final Chuunin exams preliminaries. Gaara used sand as an absolute defense to soften Lee's attacks and crushed Lee's arms and legs with his Desert Coffin technique. Having already opened life gates, Lee was heavily injured and would have been killed had Gai not stopped Gaara. Lee was injured so badly that even Tsunade the medical specialist had reservations about doing an operation on him and advised him to live a life other than a Shinobi's. Lee now must face the choice between choosing another life or taking the risk between fulfilling his dreams and dying.

Info on Naruto, Bre's favorite!
Name: Uzumaki Naruto
Age: 13
Birthday: 10 October
Zodiac: Libra
Rank: Genin
From: Leaf
Teacher: Umino Iruka, Hatake Kakashi, Jiraiya
Teammates: Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura
Ultimate jutsu : Sexy no jutsu
Ambition: To surpass all previous Hokages and have the village acknowledge him.
Background: 13 years ago, a great nine-tailed demon fox aka Kyuubi attacked the Village of the Leaf. In order to save the village, the 4th hokage sealed the demon fox in a newborn baby's body and sacrificed himself to suffer endlessly in Death's stomach. The baby was Naruto.
The Deal with him: Even though Naruto was only the vessel to trap the Kyuubi, the village saw him as the demon itself and everybody hated and ostracised him. Thus Naruto grew up lonely, friendless and determined to make his mark one day as the greatest hokage so everybody would acknowledge him.
The first few who acknowledged Naruto were the 3rd hokage, Iruka and Konohamaru (who was totally awed by Naruto's ingenious sexy no jutsu). Who Naruto really wished would acknowledge him then was Sakura, his crush. But Sakura was totally infatuated with Sasuke because he was oh-so-cool and that was one of the reasons Naruto became fierce rivals with Sasuke.
Besides being a ninja, one of his jobs is also to reach out to people like him who had a troubled childhood (eg. Haku, Inari and Gaara).
Naruto harassed the perverted Jiraiya into training him for the final Chuunin exams and the 2 grew rather fond of each other (father-and-son way not the perverted way!!).
Naruto also technically saved Konoha by saving Tsunade from Kabuto, and touched Tsunade enough to be convinced that she should be the 5th hokage.
Besides mastering a high level jounin technique (the kage bunshin), the summoning technique and rasengan, Naruto also has a secret technique which never failed to 'defeat' his enemy before. That's the sexy no jutsu and the higher level harem no jutsu.

Info on Itachi, my third favorite!
Name: Uchiha Itachi
Age: 17
Birthday: 09 June
Zodiac: Gemini
Rank: S-class Missing Nin
From: Leaf
Family: Uchiha Sasuke (little brother)
Side-kick: Kisame
Association: Akatsuki
Famous quote: Foolish brother, if you wish to kill me, hate me, detest me, and survive in an unsightly way. Run, run and cling to life.
Achievements: Graduated from the Ninja academy at age 7 with top grades, mastered the Sharingan at age 8, became a Chuunin at age 10, Anbu leader at age 12, wiped out his entire clan and promoted to S-class missing nin at age 13.
The Deal with him: Top member of secret society Akatsuki, who even Orochimaru admits is stronger than himself, Itachi is shrouded with mystery. He killed his whole family with the reason that it was to measure his strength. He left his little brother alive after screwing up his mind. Although it seemed that Itachi spared his brother so he could become stronger and thus a worthy opponent someday, we believe that somewhere deep in his very disturbed heart, he loves Sasuke in his own very weird fashion.
From someone who killed his whole family, Itachi is surprisingly unconfrontational and unbloodthirsty unlike how one would expect him to be. There were many incidents when he could have easily killed an adversary but instead left them heavily wounded and avoided as many fights as he could. Itachi has issues and it would be delightful when we finally find out why.

Info on Iruka, I think Twilight's 1st or 2nd favorite!
Name: Umino Iruka
Age: 25
Birthday: 26 May
Zodiac: Gemini
Rank: Chuunin
From: Leaf
Occupation: Pre-Genin Teacher in the Ninja Academy
Most Seen: Eating ramen with Naruto
Background: Umino Iruka lost his parents during the invasion of the nine tailed demon fox
The Deal with him: Umino Iruka is one of the first to acknowledge Uzumaki Naruto. Iruka relates to Naruto as he himself lost his parents in a young age and grew up trying to vie for attention. initially failing Naruto in the Genin exams, Iruka later passed Naruto after the boy saved him from Mizuki (and celebrated over a bowl of ramen).
Umino Iruka has a mild kind hearted personality as docile as his name (which means dolphin), and is truly a new age sensitive ninja. He is also the first to be defeated by Naruto's devastating technique, the Sexy No Jutsu.
Iruka
Info on Orochimaru! He's my...fifth favorite!
Name: Orochimaru
Age: 50
Birthday: 27 October
Zodiac: Scorpio
Rank: S class missing nin; one of the Legendary Sannin
From: Leaf
Teacher: Sarutobi - Sandaime Hokage
Teammates: Jiraiya, Tsunade
Student: Anko
Side-kick: Yakushi Kabuto
Summons: Snakes
Loves: Little boys
Goal in life: Learn all the jutsus in the world
Our sneaky suspicion: He's gay
Background: The crazy one from the Legendary Sannin. Sarutobi's favourite student, who cracked after he was rejected from the title of Yondaime Hokage. He went into weird experiments that involved killing alot of people to create new jutsus to make himself immortal. He was exiled from the Leaf and later founded his own village.
The Deal with him: Sarutobi had noticed the malice and ambition in his snakey eyes even when he was just a genin. But the Hokage believed he could change Orochimaru as he saw much potential in him. It was a failed investment. Not only did Orochimaru grow up to be a twisted crazed psychopath, he also ultimately killed his teacher, but at the cost of losing the use of his hands/jutsus.
Orochimaru is a sore loser. He hankered after the title of the 4th Hokage, but after losing it to Yondaime, he claimed only idiots would want to be Hokage and sought to destroy the village.
His accomplishments are the founding of the Hidden Village of Sound, with the main objective being to destroy the Leaf (why? because he's a sore loser); developing malicious jutsus with one of them being to move his soul into somebody else's body so he could stay immortal, and biting people's neck to give them cursed seals. His current investment is Sasuke, whose Sharingan that can copy others' moves he is actively lusting after.
Oro-sama!
Info on Sasuke....I know he's got to be someone's favorite!
Name: Uchiha Sasuke
Age: 13
Birthday: 23 July
Zodiac: Cancer
Rank: Genin
From: Leaf
Teacher: Kakashi
Teammates: Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura
Family: Uchiha Itachi (elder brother)
Favourite technique: Grand Fireball Technique
Background: Sole survivor of the Uchiha clan when his elder brother went on a killing rampage.
The Deal with him: Sasuke was a regular adorable ninja student with big dreams of being an excellent ninja like his elder brother. But after Itachi killed their family and screwed up his mind to "live in an unsightly way", Sasuke became cool, and calls himself an 'avenger', whose purpose in life was to kill his brother. For some obscure reason, that made all the girls at the academy fall in love with him.
Sasuke first started to use his Sharingan when he fought against Haku with Naruto at Wave Country. His pretty eyes and body attracted the liking of Orochimaru, who wishes to take over his body after he became truly strong. To show his admiration, Orochimaru left a cursed seal after delightfully sinking his fangs into Sasuke's neck, which Kakashi sealed, but threatens to unleash everytime Sasuke gets excited in a fight.
After engaging in a precarious fight with Naruto, Sasuke felt inferior as he seemed not to be improving as much as Naruto. Orochimaru took the chance to send the Sound 4 ninjas to convince Sasuke to leave the Leaf village to seek more power from Orochimaru. Thus, Sasuke abandoned Konoha (Sakura's endless whining might have helped him decide to leave in a hurry) and is on his way to the Sound village.
Sasuke
Info on Jiraiya! The super pervert!
Name: Jiraiya
Age: 50
Birthday: 11 November
Zodiac: Scorpio
Rank: One of the Legendary Sannin
From: Leaf
Teacher: Sarutobi - Sandaime Hokage
Teammates: Tsunade, Orochimaru
Students: Yondaime, Naruto
Summons: Frogs
Excuse for peeping: Data Gathering!
Background: Our favourite one from the Legendary Sannin, a big pervert and author of "Come Come Paradise" (finally made into a full length movie coming to theatres near you!). Calls himself Frog Hermit, but Naruto prefers to call him 'perverted hermit'
The Deal with him: How our favourite pervert managed to pry his lusty eyes away from the babes around him to pay enough attention to his ninjutsu training and become one of the Legendary Sannin is still a mystery. Jiraiya is often seen playing a fool, peeping at females and drooling at hot chicks. But this ero-sennin knows when to play and when to be serious. Jiraiya was the student of the 3rd Hokage; the teacher of the 4th Hokage; and the teammate of the 5th Hokage, after rejecting the latter title himself.
The 1st time we see Jiraiya was when Ebisu was training Naruto for the Chuunin exams and the closet pervert tried to stop Jiraiya from peeping at the baths. Jiraiya slammed Ebisu unconscious and Naruto chased the pervert all over town to get him to train him, which he succeeded. They continue to bond and at times, Jiraiya was like the father Naruto never had.
Jiraiya
Info on Shikamaru! The must love, lazy boy!
Name: Nara Shikamaru
Age: 13
Birthday: 22 September
Zodiac: Virgo
Rank: Chuunin
From: Leaf
Teacher: Sarutobi Asuma
Teammates: Akimichi Chouji, Yamanaka Ino
Most heard phrase: "How troublesome..."
Only Technique: Shadow Imitation Technique
Ambition: Be a so-so ninja drawing an average salary, marry an average looking wife, have 2 kids, a girl and a boy. Retire when daughter is married and son is independent and die before his spouse.
The Deal with him: Shikamaru is probably the laziest Genin in Konoha. But he's probably the smartest Genin in the village as well, with an IQ of over 200 points. Shikamaru loves just lying down looking at clouds thinking how carefree they are. Although Shika only knows one technique - the Shadow Imitation Technique, his intelligence often helps him win battles. He is also calm in times of danger. Asuma, his teacher, describes him as "just like an old man" who likes to play chess, taking life at a very slow pace.
Shikamaru became the only genin to pass the Chuunin exams as the other Chuunins and examiners were impressed with him.
Shikamaru
Info on Gaara! Jennifer's sister Kelsey's favorite!
Name: Gaara of the Desert
Age: 13
Birthday: 19 January
Zodiac: Capricorn
Rank: Genin
From: Sand
Teacher: Baki
Teammates: Temari and Kankurou
Family: Kazekage (Father), Temari and Kankurou (elder sister and brother)
Most Used Technique: Desert Funeral
Background: When Gaara was born, he took the life of his mother as a sacrifice. Gaara was an experiment attempt by the hidden village of Sand to 'build' stronger ninjas.
The Deal with him: Before the Chuunin exams, Gaara has never been hurt as the sand always protected him. He has never slept in years either as the Sand demon would take over his body and eat away part of his mind everytime he lose consciousness. Thus, Gaara has become quite mentally unstable. He has never felt love as his villagers feared and loathed him. His father, the Kazakage, sent ninjas to assasinate him since he was 6 years old as his powers was getting out of hand. The 1st of the assasins was Gaara's uncle whom he thought was the only person who loved him.
Ever since the incident, Gaara 'tattooed' the kanji 'love' on his forehead and swore to love only himself and sought to feel his existence by killing others. He was sent along with Temari and Kankurou on an A-rank mission. Seemingly to take part in the Chuunin exams in Konoha, Gaara transforming into the Shukaku was actually the Sand's trump card in their plan with the Sound to destroy Konoha. However, he was defeated by Naruto and escaped back to the Sand with Temari and Kankurou.
Gaara
Info on Gai! Lee's sensei. Name is also spelt Guy!
Name: Maito Gai
Age: 26
Birthday: 01 January
Zodiac: Capricorn
Rank: Jounin
From: Leaf
Students: Rock Lee, Tenten, Hyuuga Neji
Eternal Rival: Hatake Kakashi
Calls himself: Konoha's sprouting leaf of acceptance
Background: Rock Lee's teacher.
The Deal with him: Gai plays a relatively minor role, mainly comic relief and toothpaste endorsement. The 1st time we see him, he engaged in a dramatic embrace with Rock Lee in a picturesque golden sunset with the Sexy soundtrack in the background. The introduction promises much laughter everytime he comes on screen subsequently.
Most remembered scenes of Gai are when he tries to compete with Kakashi only to get "modern" and "hip" nonchalent responses from his eternal rival and he goes "Oh My GOD!!".
Gai and Lee's relationship is very strong as the teacher tries his best to train his prized student to be the excellent ninja that Lee envisions himself to be.

He is as strong as a jounin and is even said that his strength is comparable to Kakashi's.

I'll have more biographies and pictures in my next entery! Don't worry Leon, Anko will be the first on there!
