EMANGA NARUTO SERIES

Kishimoto wished for each team member to be 'extreme', having a high amount of aptitude in one given attribute, yet talentless in another. The separation of the characters into different teams was intended to give each group a specific flavor. These three characters would be the mold for the other three main Naruto teams. He eventually created Sakura Haruno, emphasizing 'her energy and flirtatious spirit' as her primary characteristics. When creating the primary heroine, Kishimoto admitted, 'I don't have a definite image of what a heroine should be'.

After reviewing different manga for ideas, he ultimately developed Sasuke Uchiha. To complement Naruto, Kishimoto worked on creating a rival that was a 'cool genius', as he believed this was 'the archetypal rival character'.

EMANGA NARUTO SERIES

Kishimoto cites Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball series as one of these influences, noting that Son Goku, the protagonist of Dragon Ball, was a key factor when creating Naruto Uzumaki due to his energetic and mischievous personality. When Masashi Kishimoto was originally creating the Naruto series, he looked to other shōnen manga for influences while attempting to make his characters as unique as possible. The visual presentation of the characters was commented on by reviewers, with praise and criticism given to Kishimoto's work in the manga and anime adaptation. The characters that Kishimoto developed were however praised for incorporating many of the better aspects of previous shōnen characters, although many publications lamented the perceived lack of growth beyond such stereotypes. He also utilized characters in other shōnen manga as references in his design of the characters, a decision that was criticized by several anime and manga publications. While developing the series, Kishimoto created the three primary characters as a basis for the designs of the other three-person teams.

He also encounters the series' antagonists, including Orochimaru, a former ninja of Konohagakure scheming to destroy his former home, and the elite ninja of the criminal organization Akatsuki. Over the course of the series, Naruto interacts with and befriends several of his fellow ninja in Konohagakure as well as other villages. During the early part of the series, he is assigned to Team 7, during which he meets Sasuke Uchiha, a taciturn and highly skilled 'genius' of the Uchiha clan Sakura Haruno, who is infatuated with Sasuke yet has Naruto's affection and Kakashi Hatake, the quiet and mysterious leader of the team. The titular character of the series is Naruto Uzumaki, an energetic ninja who wishes to become Hokage, the leader of Konohagakure. The series' storyline follows the adventures of a group of young ninja from the village of Konohagakure. The Naruto storyline is divided into two parts, simply named Part I and Part II, with the latter taking place two-and-a-half years after the conclusion of Part I. The series takes place in a fictional universe where different countries vie for power by using ninja who can use supernatural abilities in combat. The Naruto anime and manga series features an extensive cast of characters created by Masashi Kishimoto.
