10 Most Mysterious Characters in Naruto, Ranked
----- ADS-----
Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden have 720 episodes of character-focused plot, but a few characters are left with mysterious backgrounds, inexplicable power, or unexplained absences. Most of Naruto is naturally focused on Naruto and the main cast. Most filler arcs and backstory arcs, like the Kakashi side story, explain all the fan-favorite characters’ mysterious skills, relationships, and personality traits. But what happens to the other characters that fall through the cracks?
A long-running franchise like Naruto naturally invites inconsistencies between canon and non-canon stories, backstories, and the sheer number of adventures. The Naruto franchise was good at keeping its facts straight for the most part, and there aren’t many unexplained mysteries. But it may come as a surprise that the popular characters remain mysterious despite reappearing throughout the anime.
How did Orochimaru learn his advanced jutsu skills as he got older? Why does Orochimaru hang around The Leaf in Boruto even after all his crimes? Orochimaru is a primary villain throughout Naruto, so his skilled use of jutsu techniques always frustrates fans. He always had new, strange skills to unveil during battle. While Orochimaru is largely hailed as a legendary jutsu user, the details of how he got there are mysterious.
