CHARACTERS WITH THE SADDEST BACKSTORIES IN NARUTO
The Kaguya Clan was famous for their ferocity in battle, with only a handful of members inheriting the Shikotsumyaku, a powerful and rare kekkei genkai. As a child, Kimimaro stood out as the only clan member with the ability to manipulate bones.
Kabuto was an exceptionally skilled medical ninja, surpassing many Anbu operatives and ranking among the strongest outside the Leaf Village. As a child, he lost his memories when his city was ravaged by a battle.
Some argue that Kakashi became one of the weakest Kage in the series, particularly after losing his Sharingan. This eye had been given to him by Obito,
Konan was Pain's partner and a former student of Jiraiya, making her one of the Akatsuki's most powerful members. She, along with Yahiko and Nagato, was born in the Hidden Rain Village and became an orphan after her family was killed during the Second Great Ninja War.
Sasori was the first Akatsuki member to be defeated, and his death carried a poetic significance as it involved the very first puppets he ever created. As a child, he lost his parents in battle against Kakashi's father and was subsequently raised by his grandmother.
Karin is a member of the Uzumaki Clan, known for their exceptionally strong life force. This unique vitality grants her remarkable healing abilities, allowing her to rapidly recover from injuries. She can also heal others by allowing them to bite her, a skill she inherited from her mother.
Sasuke is Itachi's younger brother, and his backstory is equally tragic. As a child, he witnessed the massacre of his entire clan and was devastated to find Itachi standing over their parents' bodies. When he eventually learned the truth, his anger turned toward the Leaf Village for what they had done to his brother.
While some may argue that Naruto has several clear weaknesses, his sad upbringing is undeniable. His parents died the night he was born during the Nine-Tails' rampage, leaving him an orphan from the very start of his life.
Hinata is one of the more prominent side characters in Naruto, largely due to her relationship with him. Born as the de facto heiress of the Hyuga Clan, she lost that title when her father deemed her too weak, even going so far as to force her to fight her younger sister for it.
Neji sacrificed himself to save Naruto during the Fourth Great Ninja War, an act that cements his status as one of the bravest characters in the series. Born into the branch family of the Hyūga clan, he was destined to serve the main house, regardless of his strength.
The Uchiha Clan is among the strongest in Naruto, and Itachi stands out as one of its most powerful ninjas. His exceptional skill with the Sharingan marked him as a true prodigy, but the Leaf Village branded him a criminal for the massacre of his entire clan.
