A letter characters:

Akamaru

Akamaru (赤丸) is Kiba Inuzuka’s ninken (忍犬 nin-dog?), best friend, and companion. In Part I, Kiba carries Akamaru around on top of his head or inside his jacket. In Part II, Akamaru grows large enough for Kiba to ride on his back, a difference Kiba fails to notice due to the amount of time they spend together. Akamaru’s heightened senses, such as smell and hearing, along with Kiba’s ability to communicate with him, make him a powerful ally for gathering and sharing information. He can also sense chakra with his nose, so he can judge an enemy’s strength and warn Kiba if they are particularly powerful.

In combat, Akamaru typically takes Kiba’s form (albeit having a much more feral appearance) upon Kiba’s use of Beast Human Clone (獣人分身 Jūjin Bunshin?, English TV “Ninja Art of Beast Mimicry: Man Beast Clone”), or combining with Kiba into a single entity in more desperate situations. Because Akamaru lacks his own chakra reserves Kiba performs many of the jutsu that Akamaru takes part in, though Akamaru is able to contribute when it comes to physical attacks. Akamaru can also use Dynamic Marking (ダイナミックマーキング Dainamikku Mākingu?) by urinating on a target with great accuracy, allowing either Kiba or Akamaru to easily find the target by scent.

Anko Mitarashi

Anko Mitarashi (みたらし アンコ Mitarashi Anko?) is the proctor for the second phase of the Chunin Exams. She is also a former student of Orochimaru and was one of the first people to be branded with one of his cursed seals. Since she lacked the lust for power and vengeance needed to fuel the seal, she was never able to effectively utilize it and the seal fell into inactivity. During her time with Orochimaru she learned how to call upon snakes to aid her in battle. In time Anko realized that Orochimaru did not truly care for her and that he saw her only as a tool. As such, she chose to leave him, though allowed him to wipe her mind of their time together before doing so.

Asuma Sarutobi

Asuma Sarutobi (猿飛アスマ Sarutobi Asuma?) is the son of the Third Hokage and the leader of Team 10.[6] After having a falling out with his father during his younger years Asuma left Konoha to pursue his personal interests. Prior to returning to Konoha to resume active military duty, he accumulated a bounty of 35 million ryō, something he seems to be particularly proud of. Upon returning, he begins a long-standing relationship with Kurenai Yuhi, whom he frequently appears with. While the two deny a relationship and try to write off the amount of time they spend together, the revelation that Kurenai is pregnant with Asuma’s child in Part II makes their relationship clear. After the creation of Team 10 Asuma begins to spend much of his free time playing Shogi or Go with Shikamaru Nara, though Asuma has never been able to beat Shikamaru.

Asuma is a laid-back individual, and does not get himself involved in things unless necessary. He is often seen smoking a cigarette, and smokes about two packs of cigarettes a day. Despite this, he will break the habit when something is bothering him, such as when the Third Hokage died. Asuma’s primary weapons in battle are his trench knives (brass knuckles with a blade on one end) that are capable of being infused with chakra. Once infused with his wind-based chakra, Asuma can use the blades to easily pierce through rock. With his Flying Swallow (飛燕 Hien?), he can extend the blades with his chakra to injure an enemy several feet out of the physical blade’s range.

During the course of a mission, Asuma is drawn into battle with Hidan, who is able to cause any damage to himself to be transferred to Asuma. After Hidan stabs himself in the heart, fatally injuring Asuma, Ino Yamanaka tries to heal his wounds. Knowing he can’t be healed, Asuma leaves his young students some parting words before dying.

B letter characters:

Baki

Baki (バキ) acts as the sensei of the Sand Siblings during the Chunin Exams, and helps coordinate with Otogakure on Sunagakure’s behalf for the invasion of Konoha. In Part II he seems to begin serving on Sunagakure’s advisory council, and has a more favorable view of Gaara than the other council members. In the only battle he is seen in, Baki is shown using what he claims to be an unblockable technique called the Blade of Wind (風の刃 Kaze no Yaiba?, English TV “Wind Sword”), with which he kills Hayate Gekko.

C letter characters:

Chiyo

  • Age: ? (deceased)
  • Rank: N/A (retired)
  • Seiyu: Ikuko Tani

Chiyo (チヨ) is Sunagakure’s poison specialist. Chiyo is very knowledgeable when it comes to handling poisons and used her skills often during the many Ninja Wars, only to be countered numerous times by Tsunade’s medical expertise. Chiyo took care of her grandson, Sasori, during his childhood after the death of his parents. At some point, she taught Sasori how to use the Puppet Technique, and Sasori used his newfound knowledge to build puppets resembling his parents out of old malfunctioning puppets. Wanting Sasori to be able to feel love from his puppet parents, Chiyo developed a jutsu that would allow her to bring puppets to life at the cost of her own. Before she could use this ability for Sasori, however, he left the village, leaving Chiyo with the desire to see her grandson again.

Chiyo would go on to seal the One-Tailed Shukaku inside of Gaara under the orders of the Fourth Kazekage. After this event she removed herself from Sunagakure’s affairs and maintained the notion that the village should not affiliate with other countries. Years later Sasori returns to Sunagakure and kidnaps Gaara, and in the hopes of getting to see her grandson again she joins the retrieval team from Konohagakure. Chiyo and Sakura Haruno are eventually forced into battle with Sasori, and she battles his puppet army with her own. As Sasori tries one last effort at defeating Chiyo, Chiyo stabs him through the heart with the puppets of his parents, allowing him to be close to them in death as he couldn’t be in life. After reuniting with the rest of the retrieval team, Gaara is found dead, a result of Shukaku being extracted from him. Because it was her fault that Shukaku was sealed in him in the first place, she uses her life-giving jutsu to bring him back to life. With Gaara’s revival, Chiyo offers her blessings to Naruto Uzumaki as the next Hokage, and dies peacefully with her view of the world changed in the end thanks to Naruto and Sakura.

Choji Akimichi

Choji Akimichi (秋道チョウジ Akimichi Chōji?) is a long-time friend of Shikamaru Nara. When his fellow peers would keep Choji from playing with them because of his size, Shikamaru would stick up for him and spend time with him instead of playing with the others. Because of Shikamaru’s willingness to look past Choji’s deficiencies and recognize his true strength, Choji came to view Shikamaru as his best friend who he would do anything for. Choji is characterized by his love for food, his favorite being Korean barbecue, general snacks and sweets, and basically anything that is edible. His nigh-constant hunger is a frequent annoyance for his teammates, as satiating himself often comes before other necessities such as stealth and teamwork. Despite his eating habits Choji is very sensitive about his size and becomes highly agitated when somebody calls him “fat” (he refers to himself as “big boned,” “chubby,” or “pleasingly plump”). Once called “fat,” Choji’s resolve to fight is elevated to new levels and he becomes much more hostile to his opponents. In Part II he starts to look more muscular than obese, causing him to look like he always claimed he did: big-boned. Even with this new look, he is apparently still sensitive about his size, and others (with the exception of Naruto) make it a point to avoid using the word “fat” around him.

As a member of the Akimichi clan, Choji’s style of combat focuses on increasing his size. At the series’ start he uses the Multi-Size Technique to serve this purpose, reshaping him into a large, round form. Once in this form he can use Human Bullet Tank (肉弾戦車 Nikudan Sensha?, Viz “Human Juggernaut”, English TV “Human Boulder”) to tuck his limbs inside his increased mass and roll at opponents at rapid speeds. Choji sees a number of advancements in Part II; the Multi-Size Technique, while still increasing his size, no longer makes him round. This more manageable form gives him better maneuverability, as he can now fight as he normally would only with the added bonus of his increased size. While he is seen using the Partial Multi-Size Technique in Part I, Choji also becomes more adept with it in Part II, and is now able to use it with little effort and with a better reaction time.

In early color illustrations of the Naruto manga, Choji is depicted with sandy-blond hair.[7] After his fight during the Sasuke Retrieval arc, his hair switches to brown.[8]
