Which Naruto Character Are You?

Few anime heroes have been as loud, as hungry or as stubborn as Naruto Uzumaki. When the series starts, he's the kid the whole Hidden Leaf Village avoids, a class clown who paints graffiti on the Hokage faces and swears he'll be Hokage himself one day. Hundreds of episodes later, he gets there. That arc is a big reason Naruto still pulls in new fans more than twenty years after the anime first aired in 2002. The other reason is the cast around him, which is huge, messy and full of people you probably recognize from your own group chat.

Team 7 and the Ramen Problem

Naruto lives on Ichiraku Ramen and the dream of being acknowledged. He's not the smartest or the most talented kid in his class, but he simply refuses to quit, and that refusal changes almost everyone he meets. Naruto types are loud, loyal and fueled by the people who doubted them.

Sasuke is his opposite: the top student, the last survivor of the Uchiha clan and the coolest kid in any room he walks into. He's driven by a single goal and pushes away anyone who gets in its way, including the friends who keep reaching for him. Sasuke types are focused, private and much more emotional than they look.

Sakura gets underrated by casual viewers. She starts as the book smart one with a crush, then trains under Lady Tsunade and becomes a medical ninja who can punch a crater into the ground. Sakura types are sharp, hardworking and quietly furious when people underestimate them.

Kakashi Is Late Again

Their teacher, Kakashi Hatake, is the Copy Ninja, famous for his borrowed Sharingan eye, his mask and his habit of reading the same orange novel series in public. He turns up hours late with excuses like getting lost on the road of life. Kakashi types make hard things look easy, stay calm when everyone else panics and keep their past to themselves.

Too Lazy to Lose

Shikamaru Nara says "what a drag" about pretty much everything, and would happily spend his whole life watching clouds. He's also a genius strategist who plays shogi like other kids play tag, and when his friends are in trouble, he outthinks enemies far stronger than him. Shikamaru types avoid drama, love naps and win by seeing ten moves ahead.

Quiet Doesn't Mean Weak

Hinata Hyuga is shy enough to faint when Naruto talks to her. She's also the girl who steps in front of a powerful enemy alone when Naruto is pinned down, because she decided long ago that he was worth it. Hinata types are gentle, observant and braver than anyone gives them credit for, and they tend to cheer for people long before the rest of the world catches on.

Finding Your Ninja Way

Yes, we had to leave people out. Gaara, Rock Lee, Itachi and Jiraiya all deserve their own quiz, and every fan has a favorite who didn't make this cut. These six were picked because they cover the main ways people tend to handle pressure: charge in, go it alone, study harder, stay chill, think it through or quietly hold the line.

The ten questions below ask about group projects, rivals, favorite foods and how you'd fight if you had to. Answer for the version of you that shows up on a normal Tuesday, not the one in your best training montage. Believe it.
