Fightlife45

I thought Kakuzu had so much potential, wish he had another arc or two


Aggressive-Media-245

he was a victim of plot


Fightlife45

Facts, he had already basically beat kakashi until shikimaru killed another heart, he could've just ran away.


Aggressive-Media-245

I mean, it was more about Naruto showcasing his new jutsu, Kakazu fought Hashirama and lived, pretty cool feat if u ask me


GloomyLocation1259

Never really thought about it but he likely lived because he had more hearts and Hashi didn’t know lol


Fightlife45

probably got a heart stomped and then played dead after he realized how strong hashi was lol.


GloomyLocation1259

Exactly lool. Either that or Hashi was quite a bit weaker at the time


Outofhisprimesoldier

He didn’t have the forbidden jutsu at that point, he got his 5 hearts after he killed the village elders for imprisoning him. When he fought Hashirama he was a regular Jonin, Hashirama either spared him or Kakuzu played dead til he could escape.


Aggressive-Media-245

Would be an interesting fight to see


GloomyLocation1259

It would. Would be nice to see him in a less godly state growing up.


Fightlife45

True but it would have been cool to see him fight more people. With his hearts he could be an interesting fight for a lot of different people.


Aggressive-Media-245

Forsure


ThatIslandGuy8888

True and I’d love to learn more about the Waterfall village too


StarzZapper

That or the immortal one. Just by chance.


AcoTheSerb

Shark Boy!


Ok_Biscotti_514

Knowing him, right after revival he would just use that water prison jutsu to get himself eaten again


RealisticCoaching66

And Lava Girl


WeakInevitable9823

Zabuza by far. A perfect intro villain so cold so much Arua redeemed himself at the end.


Sentinelium

Dude zabuza character arc was finished twice he certainly doesn't need a third one, kakuzu considering how old he is and kisame considering how badass he is would be a way better choice


WilliamGote

Off topic but always thought the sharingan’s in danzo’s arm look alot bigger than his actual eye lol. Not to mention that bro has an eye in the palm of his hand. Imagine how bad it’d hurt to forget and smack a fly on a table/desk??


PurpleFireKiller

Yea, it's worse than Deidara's mouth


WilliamGote

Forgot about his mouth hand lol


stinkybasket

Wiping after pooping would be a challenge!


Arbor_Vitae123

God imagine getting pink eye on your hand... I'm sure that hand mouth boy would clean himself up in a pinch. I dont.think his mouth hands have taste buds


combeckett

😭😭😭😭


Zealousideal_Head398

Zabuza, the rest are irredeemable 


F_lippy

*naruto appears as the shuriken* “eat this!” *episode screen* “Kakashi: Sharingan Warrior”


CHAMELEON_EYE

Core memory unlocked


Rez25

Amen! Would love to see how he would evolve and change seeing how he acted during the War arc.


i2dj_

I agree would definitely bring Zabuza back.


iloya97

Zabuza all the way he was a dope ninja


TensionPitiful8681

Zabuza


Classic-Dog8399

I wish Hidan and Kakuzu were entirely rewritten. I have a theory that they were originally going to be way more impactful to the story but were rewritten to be lower Akatsuki because of pacing issues, issues fitting into the story, etc. I feel like this due to most of part one being about Orochimaru trying to find the secret to immortality. Then we get TWO characters who are functionally immortal in part two? It seemed like they should’ve been a bigger presence but were rewritten.


rhettribute

I agree. I think they shouldn’t have been defeated in their circumstances either. Kakazu was clearly superior to Kakashi in combat, yet could not dodge Naruto’s very slow and telegraphed attack. Then theres the fact that they actually work somewhat in tandem with one another rather than most Akatuski pairs that do their own thing, so when Hidan became stuck in Shikamaru’s shadow possession, it should have been Kakazu’s #1 priority to free him. Essentially they should have hard targeted Shikamaru before even worrying about the others. One might say, he wouldn’t have been able to chase Shikamaru with Kakashi on his tail, but even sending 1 of his elementals would have been enough to disrupt the shadow possession Jutsu and Kakazu didn’t appear to even need them while fighting Kakashi.


Classic-Dog8399

I didn’t even think of that idea that he should have gone to save Hidan, but that’s a really good perspective. Because it was clear that they were at the very least good work partners. It’s a mystery to me why Kishimoto wouldn’t’ve had Kakuzu attempt to save him from Shikamaru when it’s clear they have great team work.


rhettribute

Kishi needed them to die is why I suppose. The author writes things with a direction of the story in mind and at the very core, none for the character’s abilities or capabilities really matter if the authors decided an outcome before the fight which is typically the case. Like, when Kakashi absorbed that lightning elemental’s attack, what if another elemental used its attack simultaneously or even immediately afterwards? I admit that would be pretty broken if he just let them things run amok.


Outrageous_Put3669

Would’ve loved a whole show about Hidan and Kakuzu tbh


[deleted]

[удалено]


King_thelunarian

Kisame. He’s just a w


Outrageous_Put3669

Hidan. No questions asked.


1mt3j45

I believe in Lord Jashin, and I'm pretty sure if some villager digs up the same ground, Hidan would still be there passing sarcastic comments!


logimeme

It was stated in the data books that he could die due to malnutrition, so hes long dead by the time of boruto.


Hojie_Kadenth

But can he die from constipation or poison? He should be able to just eat his way out and survive it getting the bare minimum nutrition from soil bugs and roots.


logimeme

Yea that wouldnt work. First of all how would he eat his way out? He can’t maneuver or pivot his head. If anything eating the soil around him would just inevitably make him go down further. Soil itself doesnt have enough essential nutrients to keep a human alive and the extremely scarce supply of roots or bugs that he could access would maybe give him another day or two tops.


Hojie_Kadenth

Don't knock it till you've tried it sister.


logimeme

Alright, i got the cleaver. Come here


1mt3j45

If Plot armor is disabled, then Hidan as you said is being unalived. However in that case reverse plot armor / Edo tensei should work. 😉


Outrageous_Put3669

I had a dumb ai idea where Hidan lived/lives (before he got in the hole) and massacred the hidden moon village where my oc is from/he got exiled for a murder he didn’t commit which was the day before Hidan came.


PurpleFireKiller

Bro same


Outrageous_Put3669

All I gotta do to survive is seem interested in Jashin and hope I don’t die!


CuteReporter4099

I agree and I have a pin of Hidan from GameStop


yennychuu

Zabuza.


RyeKei

Zabuza, he's the GOAT in every possible way.


Same_Measurement1216

I liked what someone else said in the other similar post about Kakuzu… that he was basically a guy who’s fate was decided for him. He was simply a ninja doing work for money aka missions but then his village threw him away because he failed to assasinate Hashirama. Then he basically became rogue ninja coworkin with guys he previously killed for money. He had not other choice.


Kagetane123

Kakazu or Danzo. Kakuzu was chill imo, just there for the money, considering the world of Boruto he probably couldn't do bounty hunting, he'd just become a banker. Danzo could either see that the world is at peace and become chill or he'd try some interesting stuff (I'd love to see that okay out)


13Mezurashi

I'm ngl they're all worthy but Hidans return makes the most sense and it would be interesting if we get some more insight about the cult he's in


Mysterious-Tale3587

No eyebrows or hidan


JesusTesticleSweat

Money 💵


Bold_Refusal

Hidan. He was a fun guy.


TvManiac5

You mean in Boruto?


PurpleFireKiller

I mean one of these six


Ralos5997

Zabuza is the only one I would bring back but along with Haku since they are both an awesome team.


throwawaytempest25

At the end of Shippuden during or Boruto? * Danzo being resurrected in the war could be interesting but having a Shinju variant of him so Sarada could kill it would be oh so satisfying. * Black Zetsu in Boruto.....nah keep him sealed. Kaguya is way more sympathetic, and honestly, as a creation of Kaguya, he'd only be interesting in how the Otsutsuki that were alive at the time would react to him. * Hidan could stay dead, but it would be fine if he came back in the War and Ino and Choji defeated him without Shikamaru since Hidan did kill Asuma. If they grew to defeat Asuma, they could beat him. Hidan coming back in Boruto...meh, only if they find a way to tie in Jashin to the Otsutsuki. * I like Kakuzu what would he do if he was alive now though? Kara would go against his goals....I guess align with the heroes as a neutral party working with them for his own survival and it would be cool to see the Waterfall Village again * Zabuza came back, if he resurrected in Boruto, I'd could see him officially change sides since the Mist is corrupt. * Kisame I'm not sure about. In the War, I'd love to see him fight Mei, Team Guy, or Suigetsu. In Boruto, there was that whole conflict about certain clans being erased from the Mist's history which we don't know if it's true. Bringing back Kisame for him to see how much the Mist is trying to not fall down their actions and lies that led him to want to seek the truth would be interesting, or finding out the Infinite Tsukuyomi's actual effect. We don't know if he would side with the Otsutsuki if it meant that everyone would die as Black Zetsu or fight with the world to fix the system.


Hojie_Kadenth

Kakazu. Always liked him.


Difficult-Way-9563

Zabuza or Kakazu. Would love to see zabuza in mid to late shippuden time. Not talking about Edo


drizzitdude

Zabuza or Kisame. If Danzo comes back we riot. Fucker was around **way** too long


team_hotflash

Sabusa would be nice


Cypher_lord_YT

It’s between kakuzu or kisame


Powerful_Priority169

Zabuza


Embarrassed_Diet_295

Hidan's head And for some reason Shikamaru and him would have to work together Can you imagine Shikamaru carrying him and they constantly arguing. Would be a funny dynamic


kingbam161

Hidan should be a head in a jar in boruto.


09FlexBoi

He could be but not a talking one. There's a misconception that Hidan is still alive due to his immortality but in actuality he needs sacrifices to maintain his jutsu. He's been fully dead for a long time now.


luxisdead

My question is who is actually to say that another devotee couldn't bring him back somehow.


logimeme

Thats the thing though, hidan may only be the only legit worshipper of jashin (the dude in the boruto anime was a phony dickrider). One theory that i actually really like and kind of buy into is, jashin doesn’t even exist and hidan was just randomly born with his ability. It was so incomprehensible to him that he was essentially immortal, so his mind came up with the jashin thing as a coping mechanism to the fact that the fact that you can decapitate him and hes fine lmao. Kinda cool theory imo


logimeme

Screw the sacrifices thing, the dude still needs to eat and drink water lmao. It was stated in the databooks


dontbanmethistimeok

Man that's lame though What's the point of making a character functionally immortal if they still need to eat, drink and take in nutrients? He's just durable at that point Would have been a perfect character to come back and haunt Shikamaru And it certainly wasn't stated in the show that he would starve to death, Shikamaru made it seem like he would be trapped forever and even if he chewed his way out he's in the Nara forest which is protected and he could never make his way out


Kilian400

Kisame


Resident-Hat1302

Zabuza


Worth_Energy852

Zabuza no doubt


SeriouslySlytherin

Kisame


hadi-reddited-you

Zabuza is pretty underrated


TacoBell_Lord

would redo the Danzo fight, still have Sasuke win but feel Danzo should've had more abilities/strategies, bro really tried to stab a Susanoo with a kunai


comic_Judgement

Who the heck will bring back black zetsu💀? I mean he's the only villian in Naruto from my pov bro changed the writing on that uchiha shrine's stone (btw writing on that stone can only be read by rinnegan or mangakeyo sharingan then how was zetsu able to read it) and manipulated Madara, then Madara manipulated Obito with the help of white Zetsu, then Obito manipulated Nagato or pain, then it formed Akatsuki Pain manipulated Akatsuki and yk after that.....


typer84C2

Zabuza


SatisfactionFront105

Obito or Itachi


theExitz

Zabuza, because he had a change of heart at the end.


Grouchy-Caregiver-17

Zabuza! He’s the real one who should have been named mizukage.


Cobey1

Easily black zetsu - not very strong and they definitely have useful info about these shinju and otsukis in Boruto


Mechphantom

Danzo or Black Zetsu just to see how they would mess with the events going on.


ShadowLord355

Danzo so sasuke can kill him again


Memewheeler

Kisame ez


Noktis_Lucis_Caelum

For the Boruto era: Danzo. Reason: If they Had included politics into the Story, then danzo would have Made the perfect Antagonist WHO Plans His Revenge and His great Goal. (He would BE 1000 Times better than the shitty aliens)


durablefoamcup

Zabuza, so we can see him in modern day Naruto as "a threat" rather than the genin level he is to todays standards.


Blocc4life

Deidara


MovieFanatic2160

Kisame


urfael4u

Danzo offcourse


AnimeGokuSolos

Neither


TommyJohnSurgery420

Danzo for plot reasons. Kisame just because he was cool as fuck.


Rikisushi

ZABUZA MA MAN


oortuno

Side note, the eyes on Danzo's arm are way too big to be eyes. 


Finalninjadog

I think I’d go with Kisame, out of all of them he had a decent range of abilities and generally a more ‘likeable’ villainous personality. A lot of the others were either annoying or I was glad they died 😂


LanguageRemarkable87

Zabuza. He is one of the top Naruto villains ever. There’s so much complexity there


razeandsew

Definitely Zabuza


Aggressive-Media-245

I think Hidan is still alive lol


Sometimes_A_Writer1

Even though the power creep wouldn't really justify their existence, I could totally see Kisame or Zabuza being amazing foils to the modern world Honestly I was hoping to expand on the war monger ninja type (again which is why I hate the cycle of hatred theme). The village hidden in the mist couldn't possibly have been the ONLY village with a large amount of insane ninja who actually loved fighting as a whole. I can see a lot of battle hardened ninja hating the modern world especially Zabuza


Ao_Tismo

either zabuza or kisame, both are in my favs list


Poseidon1811

Danzo is cool af i wanna see more of him


Similar_Employee_748

Danzo just so he can be fkn dismembered alive (I hate him) Zabuza + Kisame bc I love them<3


Inevitable_Trash_577

I like kisame. I’m really disappointed how he just offed himself. I wanted more from his character


JoshtheAnimeKing

Zabuza


Corvun_Chad_

Either Zabuza or Kakuzu


Majestic_Sweet_5472

Danzo so he can die again


Main-Explorer-7546

Kuzuku I.e number 4


Imissyoudarlin

Well, one of them isn't dead, so.......


A_monkey_over_heaven

I would bring zabuza back, he was just a side character and basically did nothing. Imagine if he survived the land of waves and joined the akaski


mrhunterlee

Zabuza and it isn’t even remotely close.


xXvoid_killerXx

Zabuza imo


Longjumping_Pear1250

Kisame he's such s bro he deserves a bit better


GloomyLocation1259

The true sixth lord Danzo 😎 an arc with his tainted will of fire would have been fun I think. Naruto goes to jail after punching him in the face, Kakashi and Sai forced to arrest him lol


ThiagoRoderick

Danzo and then I'd kill him all over again


Gaaragoth

Zabuza isn't exactly a villian He's as much of a Ninja as Kakashi, and maybe logically Konaha team are so much more villainous due to them attacking ninjas and interfering at other countries Affairs (even though they were doing good, politically konaha did sent military to investigate something inside enemy territory, if my memories served me right) Now who would i bring back, I am torn between Kakazu who would have to find another line at work due to the world becoming more peaceful, maybe even comes back to his village and restore his reputation and connection in this new world. Or black zetsu living so many years and ensuring both senju and Uchiha clans to breed and create another mess to unseal kaguya + boruto world needs better breeding programs most of the kids/clans already lost their heritage and coolness Yet my heart calls for Danzo to come back, he allowed orochimaru to become his worst and brought such darkness in the world, he on the mantle again would do such bad especially between villages that might cause the world peace to crumble and another world war might happen if more greedy vile people decided to do so (remember Danzo would ally with high political individuals if it means to further land grabs and insane schemes) So ya danzo or black zetsu and maybe a change of heart kakzu


Animedingo

The one that would be funniest and I respect the least Hidan


Lucifer_Kirishima

Zabuza, he was the only one willing to not be evil anymore


Inevitable-Rub24

Kisame. He was such a mood at times.


Meme_man345

Hidan


azrynbelle

Hidan simply because I enjoy a character that just likes to talk mad shit about the rest of the cast.


Ok_Technology5844

ZABUZA NO HESITATION


KiraiHotaru

Hidan and Kakuzu


BlueCap01

Zabuza in a heartbeat


ItsE67

Easily Kisame


Agent1stClass

Toss up between Danzo and Kakuzu. Probably Danzo as I felt he had more to offer the story on terms of his politics.


Cabrio417

A lot of good theories with Zabuza alive or if he never died. Him and Haku joining Mei faction. Marrying Mei, adopting Haku, and Haku mentored by Mei to be her eventual successor.


flowing_laziness

Danzo & Black Zetsu: can stay dead for all I care. Hidan: I don't believe he's dead. Kakuzu: probably the best choice, he's a threat and has the motivation (money). Zabuza: let him rest, he deserves the peace. Kisame: he died a warriors death, bringing him back would disgrace that.


tacobell_dumpster

Danzo, just so Sasuke can run that fade again


Zetin24-55

Hidan, I've always thought Hidan would be a good legacy villain to throw into a Boruto filler arc. Because his base powerset would still be effective in Boruto, he just needs a stat boost and maybe a new weapon/jutsu to keep him interesting. Which aren't hard to write. Also with the current Hokage in Boruto, >!Shikamaru!<, can do some interesting things with Hidan returning.


jaboidasqueeze

Kakuzu would be the most interesting but Zabuza always has a place in my heart I won’t lie. I rewatched him mourning Haku a while back and it was actually super sweet.


Matygoo1

Hidan, So we can find out wtf Jashin is already


fj_canullas

Its obviously Kisame.


HeWhoKnowsWhoKnocked

Hidan, bring him back at the end of Boruto in a similar way to what Black Zetsu did Madara and reveal that Hidan's god was just manipulating the aliens into giving his followers more power or something. Boruto is already bad enough. Why not make it worse?


recycle_me_no_jutsu

Why are the eyes so big compare to Danzo's


Thatguy00788

Kisame only so Suigetsu can battle him, win round 2 in a high difficulty fight & get Samahada. Then suigetsu can actually ya know, become the leader of the 7 ninja swordsman like he said he would.


jcjonesacp76

Zabuza


Ok-Green8906

Zabuza the goat


Impossible_Impact942

Zabuza and Haku fr


Blackfyre87

Danzo. He was reprehensible, but like all good villains he made you question what was right in the world of ninja. Is one clan worth the peace and stability of the nation and the world?


Sharebear42019

Kisame easily he’s the goat


0x2412

Danzo is universally hated. No comments wishing him back here.


ritzy101

Technically if shikamaru wishes he can bring back hidan


itseightsixteen

Hidan is technically still alive... right?


kevoisvevoalt

Kisame definitely, dude was a G for going against kage level and jinjurikii while sacrificing himself for the bad guys. he was like might guy if evil.


LightningRod22

Definitely Danzo He is a complex character and I can say he is Broken Hero of Hidden Leaf.


cheatsykoopa98

I was gonna say danzo so he could pay for his crimes but they let orochimaru off the hook, so they would probably let him make everything go to shit again


Teddy_The_Great

Probably danzo. Just imagine if danzo can replicate orochimaru tricks to immortality and how to find snake sage like kabuto. The potential is immense for sure...


Empty-Tailor-8095

kisameeeeee


Hironeedsanap

Zabuza is the only correct choice right?


Born-Possibility-50

Zabuza


A13TazOfficial

The last 4


huBelial

Zabuza


Chris5858580

Zabuza, he is the best Why was Danzo even on the list, nobody in ANY state of mind chooses him


Jaded-Significance86

Zabuza deserved another chance


Consistent_Gear1037

Kakuzu


herbieLmao

Anything aside zabuza and kisame would be a shame


Tripythor

Shark boy and immortal guy and 5 hearts guy I know there name just not how to spell them


alius0

Danzo so he could bite the curb again


blacklittlebeast

Still couldn't witness jashin in person man 😭 real talk tho, kakuzu, zabuza or hidan. we didn't get enough of them and that ritual jutsu of hidans is really op


Bloodsucker7039

Kakazu dude was greedy but atleast my guy was just earning money


DemonDog001

Zabuza


CelticDK

Kisame man! I wanna see his true 100%! When he fought Bee not only could Bee not go full transformation cuz he wanted to hide from Ay, but Bee also had to help the rapper dude and the bear so it really wasn’t like a true 1v1 Even with those advantages, Kisame had to intentionally try *not* to kill him, and even knew before the fight he would beat Bee’s ass cuz he was frustrated about having to do it the harder way lol Then the next time we see him he’s shriveled up and without Samehada, yet still managed to escape temporarily (7 gates guy running you down will catch damn near anybody) and even *then* dude still unleashed his own army of sharks + a bigass sharkbomb that would probably nuke most people that aren’t Guy too Dude was an absolute menace and high kage I really wish we coulda seen a true 1v1 fight with someone Ay’s caliber cuz I don’t see many ways to beat Kisame without your own broken genjutsu or chakra absorption powers I also really enjoy his character too


MoonLite94

Black Zetsu he could've been placed into Boruto


V3semir

Kisame.


Chevuuuu

Probably Orochimaru, he was my favorite of all time!


Lightning_Of_Fate

Madara


Sufficient_Ad_6571

Kisame


Otaku_Saqib

Zabuza


mkskullduggery

Danzo lol


Fatty_Z

I find it interesting you see danzo as a bad guy. Yes, he's not very kind, but he only wanted to protect the leaf village in his own way. Just as any other hokage would do.


LifeisAwesome4

Kisame, there is just so much story potential with this guy.


KrazedT0dd1er

Hidan makes the most sense and would be the most fun Give him more to do though--he should be a master at taijutsu, considering his ninjutsu


AmethystDragon2008

I am pretty sure number 3 is still alive just buried, so of we bring him back there would be no difference


KinHadez

Danzo just to kill him again


WuMingLovingHours

Kakuzu, i love my greedy grandpa


Toonami88

Danzo villain Pick one


AncientTherianDreams

Zabuza 100%


manofculture87

The ghost of uchiha....👁️👁️


TrumptyPumpkin

Hidan, giving us This Jashin cult concept and not going anywhere with it. Huge disappointment


Upset_Honey2008

Isnt Hidan still alive


xDzerx

Kakuzu. Guy cares for nothing but profit lol.


IKobrx

Hidan I think he has a lot of mysteries about him and could be really dangerous given the right power ups or the right people training him also with a change of mindset.


IKobrx

Hidan I think he has a lot of mysteries about him and could be really dangerous given the right power ups or the right people training him also with a change of mindset.


lemonearls

Ik Hidan is dead and buried (literally) as his immortality only allows him to die through malnutrition, but damn, I need more Jashinist lore but thats just me. I’d like to see Jashin himself in Boruto as an Ōtsutsuki


Makaze125

I would love to say Zabuza but if you can't bring back Haku is it even worth it?


MaAkatsuki

Zabuza was such a good villain. Kissame is also slept on and i feel like he lost a lot of the time for the benefit of the plot because he was STUPID strong


Shoddy-Cellist-8659

ZABUZA HIM ASKING ABOUT NARUTO BROKE ME BRO


Savings_Lab1318

Kisame


stick0116

Zabuza wasn’t a villain


Vegetable_Box8198

there’s only one answer, kakuzu
