The ninja world is filled with all kinds of unique characters, from legendary sages to bloodthirsty swordsmen to god-like beings who want to rule the world. Although Naruto Therefore, the universe contains an abundant selection of bold and powerful warriors who are not shy about preaching their might to anyone with ears, not everyone is so loud and hot-headed.

There are also Naruto characters who could be considered introverts due to the way they usually prefer to stay out of the limelight and keep to themselves. This does not inherently mean that these individuals are weak, just that they are not the type of people who feel the need to flaunt their powers and abilities for the sake of recognition or fame. Instead, they simply want to enjoy their own company while helping those around them when needed.

8 Kakashi Hatake

Kakashi often prefers reading his Makeout Paradise series to socializing with others

• First appearance: Episode 3

In all honesty, it can be difficult to try to determine Kakashi's personality given how odd he can seem for a lot of series, although it becomes clear that he is more of an introvert due to some of his habits. Despite being a high-ranking Jonin, Kakashi would rather read the Makeout Paradise books in his spare time than train or share a few drinks with other fellow Jonin.

In fact, Kakashi doesn't have strong ties with the other Jonin except Guy, but that's only because Guy has declared himself as Kakashi's rival, meaning he can never leave him alone. All in all, though, Kakashi isn't someone who flaunts his powerful abilities or even makes a big song and dance about his sad story. Instead, he prefers to be alone and enjoy his own hobbies when not engaged in a mission.

6 Shino Aburame

A loyal member of Team 8 who tends to avoid the limelight

Whenever the Genin gather, Shino can usually be seen hiding in the background with his eyes and mouth completely covered. He's simply not a character who likes to be the center of attention, but despite this, he's still a highly valued member of Team 8 whose bug-based Jutsu skills can make quick work of anyone invade personal space.

His closed personality starts to make more sense when you consider how stoic and serious Shinu is compared to most of his peers who are always cracking jokes to lighten the mood, especially Naruto. Shino simply prefers to stay focused on the mission at hand, which doesn't leave much room for socializing and fun.

5 Itachi Uchiha

Itachi doesn't feel the need to talk to anyone but Sasuke

• First appearance: Episode 81

There are many members of Akatsuki who could be considered extroverts who like to flaunt their power and give long speeches to their enemies. One of these individuals would be Kisame, but his companion, Itachi, is the complete opposite. Like his younger brother, Itachi only speaks when he needs to and can usually be found walking around villages alone or with Kisame if they are sent on a mission together.

Indeed, Itachi has many things he's bottling up and secrets he only plans to reveal to Sasuke when he gets the chance. Therefore, he appears as a very introverted and aloof character for much of the series, adding an aura of mystique to the Akatsuki member that helped make him a fan favorite among the community.

4 Gara

Gaara's tragic story made him a cold and isolated ninja

• First appearance: Episode 20

This primarily refers to Gaara as he appears in Part 1, when he is a cold, heartless and isolated ninja who was more than willing to outright kill anyone who stood in his way. However, while it may seem unreasonably cruel at first, when Gaara's tragic backstory is revealed, it starts to make a lot more sense as to why it turned out that way.

Not only did Gaara lose his mother when he was born, but he sealed his tailed beast Shukaku inside him; a beat that would constantly warn the young man that it would take over his body when he least expected it. All of this created a boy who hated the world and pretty much everyone in it, that is until Naruto was able to help him see the light.

3 Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke's obsession with revenge alienated him from his comrades

• First appearance: Episode 3

Sasuke isn't exactly human. His determination to get revenge on his brother Itachi for exterminating their entire clan forced Sasuke into isolation as all he could think about was how to become strong enough to one day face his older brother. As a result, fans don't see Sasuke socialize at all during the first part, and even in Shippuden, he only really talks to others when he's forced into an alliance, such as with Suigetsu and Jugo for example .

As an adult in Boruto In the series, Sasuke seems to prefer to remain alone, acting as a nomad wandering the ninja world, only this time he is not blinded by revenge. He's definitely much more approachable in his current state, but during the first part, anyone who even tried to talk to Sasuke risked getting a Chidori thrown in the chest, which probably explains why he was often shown to be alone by most of the time.

2 Nagato

Nagato hid his true identity while using his pains as personal puppets

• First appearance: Shippuden Episode 114

Readers and viewers of the Pain Arc were largely led to believe that Pain himself, or rather, the six versions of Pain were the true villains of that section of the story. While there is some truth to this statement, the character who really pulled the strings all along was Nagato, a sheltered man who had controlled the pains as his own puppets in order to usher the world into an era of “peace”.

When Naruto finds Nagato, he is hidden in a dark cave with a crippled body that restricts his movements, forcing him to remain isolated for many years. Since no one else seemed to share Nagato's idea of ​​using suffering to bring peace to the world, he likely felt no desire to interact with the wider world, preferring to use Pain as an intervention to change the world to his liking .

1 Hinata Hyuga

Hinata's shy personality made her the most introverted of the Genin

• First appearance: Episode 3

Mostly from Naruto story, especially part 1, Hinata is presented as a timid, timid and introverted Genin who is often seen hiding behind trees and watching from afar. As a member of the ancient Hyuga clan, Hinata possesses some really powerful powers, including the Byakugan, but her more passive personality means she rarely likes to engage in combat.

Hinata's introverted nature also prevents her from confessing her feelings to Naruto, who she is supposedly in love with from the moment she lays eyes on the brave protagonist. By the end of Shippuden, Hinata finally begins to come out of her shell and even starts a family with Naruto as seen in the Boruto series.
