Song of day- Lee's theme.

Question of day: Did you see my quiz result from(way)below?


As many of you know, Naruto started out as a manga on Japanese fox spirits, quickly after some reranging, it became the most popular ninja manga in Japan! So, you know alot about the manga, but what about the character's, what you think you know, you may not! Behold, this could be the longest post you've ever seen. I'm giving out complete known records on some of my favorite ninja's!(As you may know, Neji is my favorite ninja, so I got bunches of info on him!)
More character updates will be added soon.~Koneako
~The hero of the story, Uzumaki Naruto!! He is the Hidden Leaf's Number
One Loudest Ninja, which is a title he more than lives up to. He
breaks the rules, he has to be the centre of attention, his
intelligence sinks below every other ninja, he is untalented in
comparison with his fellow Academy students, he is outspoken and
egotistical but most importantly: He has a Ninja spirit that never
gives up! Naruto might be the bottom of his classes and might not be a
genius of Ninjutsu but he is honest in everything he does, which is a
quality every ninja should have. Being our hero, he has a unique
ability that singles him out from any other character and, for once,
it's not due to an Advanced Bloodline. Sealed within Naruto is a
Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that attacked and almost destroyed the Hidden
Leaf Village. This immeasurable power was preserved inside of a
newborn babies body so that it couldn't return to demolish the Village
again. That baby was Naruto. So, being the person to have sacrificed
his body and future to save the village, you'd expect Naruto to be a
hero and martyr in the eyes of the villagers. This, however, couldn't
be farther from the truth.

~Haruno Sakura is a Konoha Genin assigned to team #7, along with Naruto and Sasuke. She has a crush on Sasuke, but doesn’t have the courage to tell him until the night he leaves Konoha forever. Sakura excels at genjutsu-countering techniques and is a total bookworm, as demonstrated from her mastery of the written portion of the Chuunin exam, which were meant to completely stump anyone under mid-Chuunin level.

~Hatake Kakashi is the Jounin in charge of Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto. He never shows his face, always wearing the mask shown here. His left eye was destroyed in war when he was young, and due to unique circumstances, he was given the eye of his dying teammate, who happened to be from the Uchiha clan. Hence, Kakashi has a single Sharingan eye. Kakashi is also a former member of the Anbu (elite ninja assassination team), and excels in hunting down anyone and anything. He also has a special technique, Chidori, which utilizes raw chakra at high speeds and decimates the enemy with it.
Hyuuga Neji


~Hyuuga Neji: Destiny's Child
Three words can effectively sum up Neji: calm, cooled and collected.
Hailed as the prodigy of the Hyuuga clan, [an ancient family in the
Hidden Leaf Village] Neji is a genius who has already mastered some of
the most prestigious techniques the clan has to offer, and he is only
a year older than Naruto. Neji carries the Advanced Bloodline of the
"Byakugan" which is said to be one of the oldest advanced bloodline in
the Hidden Leaf and the veritable ancestor of the Uchiha clan. Neji is
notable by his snow-white eyes [which are possessed by the entire
clan]. So with this regal heir, Neji has become quite a haughty boy.
He claims that destiny is the end all for everything and that we as
humans cannot do anything. For such a talented young man that is one
major downfall: his vindictive and bitter attitude towards people is
something to be disliked. As we see from the series this mentality is
passed down from generation to generation.
The Hyuuga family is split into two parts: the Main House and the
Branch House. The reason they are separated is because the Main House
is destined to hold the original blood of the Hyuuga and as such its
heritage must be protected. The Branch house was created to protect
the Main House at all costs thus resulting in the death and suffering
of many a Branch House member. This slighted feeling that the Branch
House possess is not unfounded. The Branch House members are put under
a terrible curse at a young age. A curse seal Jutsu is cast on them
and the symbol of "Bird in the Cage" is marked into their forehead
which will stay there until they die. This brand isn't just to
distinguish the Main House from the Branch House; it is in place so
that the Main House can maintain a level of control to the lower
members of the Hyuuga clan. A simple hand seal inflicts massive amount
of agony into the mind of those who carry the mark and can quite
easily kill them if need be. Neji belongs to the Branch House, and is
marked like his fellow House members and his deceased father before
him. This is where his hatred for the Main House and Hinata [his
cousin] spawned.
When Neji was four years old, a Shinobi from the Cloud Country arrived
in the Leaf Country to sign an alliance treaty because the warring
factions had been at war for some time. All the while, it was the
Hyuuga heir's birthday. The heir was Neji's cousin, Hinata. This would
also be the day Neji had his seal carved into his head. Neji and
Hinata's fathers were twins. Hinata's father Hiashi was the first-born
of the pair and became a member of the Main House; Neji's father
Hizashi was put into the Branch House. It was Hiashi who placed the
seal onto Neji, making him a true Branch House member and he was sworn
to protect the advanced blood for the rest of his life. A few days
after the Shinobi from the Cloud Country had arrived, someone
attempted to kidnap Hinata. Hiashi father quickly disposed of the
assailant and revealed that it was the same Shinobi who had just
signed the alliance agreement. It turned out that the Cloud Country
was one of the many countries out to obtain the secrets of the Hyuuga
and their Byakugan.
Enraged at the death of one of their leaders the Cloud Country
demanded that Hiashi [the man who killed their Shinobi] be sacrificed.
After much contemplation the Leaf Village succumbed to the Cloud's
demands. However, to keep the blood of the Main House alive, Hizashi's
life was sacrificed and his corpse was sent to replace that of his
brother [without letting Cloud know this]. That is the reason Neji
hates the Main House. Without hesitation they sacrificed his father's
life for the betterment of the Main House. Neji directed all of his
hatred of the Main House on Hinata who was their heir, albeit she was
much weaker than Neji and completely incompetent as a Ninja to boot. A
child with the potential to harness the ultimate power of the Hyuuga
to its limit and at the same time is denied the heir is irony that
Neji cannot comprehend. His goal is to surpass the Main House and to
become so strong that nobody can defeat him. It is no doubt that with
the Byakugan in his arsenal such a goal is entirely possible.
Neji's eyes allow him to do a lot of exceptional techniques but they
also give him the comfort of having an absolute defense. One of his
key techniques is the Heavenly Spin. Using the Byakugan to its
potential, Neji can see 359° around his body and sense nearly all the
attacks approaching him. Then, using his Hakkeshou, [the Chinese
martial art of gentle fist fighting] Neji unlocks his chakra openings
and unleashes large amounts of chakra to stop the incoming assault. He
then uses his body to spin at high speeds to blast away anything
within range. This technique has been only conquered by the Main House
to date. For Neji to master this technique is extraordinary. Another
example of Neji's attacks is the 64 hands of Hakke. This is a special
technique that blocks every single chakra opening on the opponent's
body. This completely seals the chakra holes in the body [entrances in
which chakra are released] rendering any Jutsus useless. The 64 hands
of Hakke needs an extreme physical capability and for Neji to use it
so facilely indubitably shows his brilliance as a Ninja.

~Mitarashi Anko is a Jounin of Konoha, in charge of the second part of the Chuunin exam. She was also once Orochimaru’s student, until he abandoned Konoha. She has a curse seal but doesn’t use it; when she notices Orochimaru’s presence in the Chuunin exam, she does everything in her power to try to stop him, but still fails.

~Nara Shikamaru is a Konoha Genin (later a Chuunin) from team #8, along with Chouji and Ino. He’s lazy and unmotivated, but is also a genius. He’s the only Genin in the Chuunin exam who actually becomes a Chuunin, and because of this, he gets selected to lead a genin team to retrieve Sasuke from the “Sound’s Five.” Shikamaru uses shadows as weapons, with the Kagemane no Jutsu (Shadow bind) as his main technique.

~Gaara has lived a troubled life. He is feared by his
whole village because of his abilities and how he a
partial demon. Before he was even born his father
wanted to make the most of his youngest son and let
the demon Shukaku take over Gaara body. His own mother
was kille and Gaara was place under care of his aunt
an elite ninja in the village. After determining that
Gaara was a danger to the village. He then sent
assaisans after his own son. One of which was the aunt
he loved so much. After this event gaara engraved the
mark you see on his head onto his head. After much
denial about why he was born into this world only to
have it stripped away, he decided that his new purpose
in life was to kill people.

~Kankurou, the middle child of the Kazekage, is very quick to act. Even the smallest of things sets him off. This short-tempered genin uses poisoned filled puppets to kill his enemies. He hides poisoned blades in every compartment of the puppet. Just in case the puppet becomes disassembled. He controls this puppet with special chakra strings, which he can cut at any time. Kankurou is very good at medium range attacks, but not so good at hand to hand. All one would need to do is sneak up on him from behind.

~Temari, the eldest child of the Kazekage, is a master with wind. She has the ability to nullify any thrown weapon. She is also very quick on her feet. She is equipped with a giant fan that has the power to blow great bursts of wind at her enemy or make sand spots that will make them slip. She was given the task, along with Gaara and Kankurou, to destroy the Hidden Village of the Leaf from the inside out using the Chunnin exam as an excuse to get into the village.
