The main clans of Konoha (self.Naruto) submitted 7 years ago by Fugitivebush. Hey guys, I was just thinking to myself what were the main clans of Konoha. I know at least three: Uchiha, Senju, and Hyuga. I know that Uchiha and Senju founded the village. Obviously, the Hyuga came to Konoha. Here are all the coveted and devastating ninja eye techniques featured in the Naruto franchise. Known as dōjutsu, characters that have developed powerful eyes are a major component of Naruto and its famously epic battle sequences. Beginning with Sasuke and his Sharingan, the list of ocular moves has continued to grow throughout the Naruto series and into its sequel anime, Boruto.

Akimichi Clan-This clan also comes from The Hidden Leaf Village. It's one of four noble Clans of The Hidden Leaf Village. There has been fifteen family heads, with Choza being fifteenth and Choji chosen to be sixteenth. Most of their jutsus revolve by the use of Yang Release. Members of this clan have great physical strength and usually eat a lot because techniques that they use usually drain a lot of Chakra.

Just like Nara Clan, they have special relationship with Nara and Yamanaka Clans. Some known members of this clan are Choji, Choza, Doto, Makaro, Maruten and Karui. Uzumaki Clan-This is clan that comes from The Hidden Eddie Village, although most of current members live in The Hidden Leaf Village.

They are descendants of Asura Otsutsuki. Throughout the years, Uzumaki and Senju kept close ties, because they were both descendants of Asura Otsutsuki.

Strongest member of Uzumaki Clan is Naruto Uzumaki, now 7th Hokage. He saved the world from Madara and Kaguya and brought peace to the ninja world. He is also strongest ninja alive.

Other known members are Mito, Nagato, Kushina, Boruto and Himawari. Senju Clan-Senju is alongside Uchiha, Akimichi and Hyuga one of four noble clans of The Hidden Leaf Village. Senju alongside Uchiha were responsible for founding Konohagakura(The Hidden Leaf Village). Throughout the years, they were close allies to Uzumaki Clan and also big rivals to Uchiha Clan.

Senju got they're names because they mastered all ninja arts in combat, thus getting name Senju('1000 Skills' or '1000 Hands'). Strongest member of this Clan was Hashirama, he was the 1st Hokage. He killed Madara Uchiha, brought peace to the ninja world and also got nickname 'God of Shinobi'. Another strong members were Tobirama, the 2nd Hokage and Tsunade, the 5th Hokage. Uchiha Clan-Uchiha Clan, just like Senju, Akimichi and Hyuga, is one of four noble Clans of Hidden Leaf Village and they were founders of Konohagakure alongside Senju Clan.

Descendant of this Clan is Indra Otsutsuki, older brother of Asura Otsutsuki. Anyone born in this clan will possess Sharingan and maybe even Mangekyou Sharingan. Strongest member of this clan is Madara Uchiha, a legendary ninja that died in an epic battle with Hashirama Senju. He was the Uchiha that have awakened Mangekyou Sharingan and Susano'o.

Other strong members of this clan are Izuna, who died fighting Tobirama, Itachi, who was responsible for Uchiha's Downfall, Shisui, the Genjutsu master, Obito and Sasuke, who brought peace to the ninja world alongside Naruto. Otsutsuki Clan-Otsutsuki Clan is an ancient clan that originated from another world. They came to Earth thousands of years ago. Several members of this Clan have heavily influenced both shinobi and world with they're actions, shaping the world into what we now today.

They are progenitors of four noble clans, Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki and Hyuga. It has been long thought that this clan is extinct, however, there still are members, such as Toneri, who are still alive. Those born in this clan can possess Rinnegan, Byakugan, Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan and Tenseigan(Only one of these not all at once). Some known members of this clan are Kaguya, Hagomoro(Sage of Six Paths), Hamura, Toneri, Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Asura and Indra. Because of number of super powerful members of this clan, I think this is the strongest clan in Naruto!

The major characters of the series as they appear in with (The Nine-Tailed Fox) in the background.The (: ナルト) and series features an extensive cast of characters created. The series takes place in a where countries vie for power by employing who can use in combat. The storyline is divided into two parts, simply named and, with the latter taking place two-and-a-half years after the conclusion of Part I.

It is followed by the sequel series by Ukyō Kodachi, which continues where the epilogue of the first series left off. The series' storyline follows the adventures of a group of young ninja from the village of Konohagakure (Village Hidden in the Leaf).The character of the first series is, an energetic ninja who wishes to become, the leader of Konohagakure and holds a monster called the Nine Tails in his body.

Over the course of the series, seeking out Sasuke when he ran away from the village, Naruto interacts with and befriends several fellow ninja in Konohagakure and other villages. Contents.Creation and conceptionWhen was originally creating the Naruto series, he looked to other shōnen manga for inspiration while still attempting to make his characters as unique as possible. Kishimoto cites 's series as one of these influences, noting that, the protagonist of Dragon Ball, was a key factor when creating due to his energetic and mischievous personality.

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

When creating the primary heroine, Kishimoto admitted, 'I don't have a definite image of what a heroine should be'. He eventually created, emphasizing 'her energy and flirtatious spirit' as her primary characteristics.

These three characters would be the mold for the other three main Naruto teams.The separation of the characters into different teams was intended to give each group a specific flavor. Kishimoto wished for each team member to be 'extreme', having a high amount of aptitude in one given attribute, yet talentless in another. This approach was used to make each team perform best when individual members worked together to overcome their weaknesses. Having watched dramas as a child, Kishimoto wished for his teams to be different from the superhero teams in these dramas, dismissing the value of a team in which all the teammates were 'strong to the point of perfection'. Kishimoto notes that the different roles the characters assume is similar to many, and 'each character stands out better that way'.Kishimoto inserted villains into the story to counteract the lead characters' moral values. He stated that this focus on illustrating the difference in values is central to his creation of villains to the point that, 'I don't really think about them in combat'.

The villains' physical appearances were also embellished to differentiate them from other characters, making it easier for a reader to follow the story and identify the villains, even in heated battle scenes. Kishimoto noted that making the villains 'flamboyant' with a 'showy costume' is 'one of my guiding principles', as well as making them 'more memorable'.When drawing the characters, Kishimoto consistently follows a five-step process: concept and rough sketch, drafting, and coloring. These steps are followed when he is drawing the manga and making the color illustrations that commonly adorn the cover of, the cover of the, or other media, but the toolkit he uses occasionally changes. For instance, he used an for one illustration for a Weekly Shōnen Jump cover, but decided not to use it for future drawings largely due to the cleanup required.
