History Characters / NarutoAnimeOnly

* TookALevelInKindness: He learns not to make light of his boss' faith in him and apologizes to Jirōchō after the fact. He seemingly gets over his trust issues and even makes up with Ibiki.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The Casualty Puppet has the still living Arashi combined with the freshly killed Kamikiri and Jigumo to make up a disturbing three-man torso which can utilize [[AllYourPowersCombined all]] of their abilities. Arashi is the main body and intelligence whereas the other two are little more than enhancers for his chakra.

* IgnoredExpert: Hanzaki had reservations about his clan joining Orochimaru's side, but Arashi and the others didn't listen. Worse, the poor guy got branded as a traitor for not playing along.

* RecycledCharacterDesign: A dojo destroyer appears in a later standalone filler with a strong resemblance to him, minus the hat and facial scars plus having darker hair. A bandit from another standalone filler would also share his design.

* RealityEnsures: Both are imprisoned and subjected to harsh punishment along with their ringleader for helping him in the Hoshikage assassination. This goes to show that having a pocketful of standards regarding your actions will most certainly not diminish your culpability in them. It doesn't help that both initially tried to cover their asses when the other Hoshi-nin turned on them plus being easily browbeaten by Akahoshi into going along with his plans.

Arashi is of the Fūma clan and is seen as its most gifted member. Upon the establishment of Otogakure, he departed with Orochimaru and Kimimaro to offer his techniques and better the Fūma's standing with the Land of Sound's daimyō. His cousin Sasame, with whom he was very close to, hasn't seen him since.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]: An off faded shade of purple in his case.

* CurbStompBattle: Their "Super Excellent Hyper Attack" which consists of nothing but putting on football helmets and rushing the real Guy and Lee. One [[DynamicEntry Double Dynamic Entry]] later, they're sent flying away.

* UptownGirl: Chishima, a page in the Birds' royal court, is implied to have romantic feelings for her, the daimyō, but whether she reciprocates is left unexplored.

-->Until that day (that I avenge my brother), Toki will continue living as Sagi.

* TwoGuysAndAGirl: He and Chishima plus Toki were close growing up in the Land of Birds. Whether he knew of his friend's eventual romantic attraction to Toki is never touched on.

* {{Gonk}}: While the "old man from a dango shop" disguise is no looker, it still has some semblance of grandeur compared to what he really looks like. Think of a long lost uncle of Kankurō's complete with similar facial markings, and considering that Kankurō's actual uncle was [[DudeLooksLikeALady pretty enough]] to be mistaken for his mother...

* OneSteveLimit: Averted with his real name which he shares with a genin from Takigakure who partook in the Chūnin Exams as well as with one of Takumi Village's Four Celestial Symbols Men.[[note]]That latter mentioned Hōki had his name altered in the English dub to Hōkyō in order to avoid this trope.[[/note]] Later spinoff media mentions an actual clan with the name as well as a Konoha genin who's full name is Hōki Taketori.

* EvilIsPetty: The whole reason he turns on Orochimaru is basically that Oro lost interest in their project and Amachi took it personally. Keep in mind that Orochimaru allowed him to ''continue'' the kaima research as a gift and even visited him in the present to see how it was progressing, yet Amachi took it as the Sannin not having any confidence in his findings.

* ShootTheShaggyDog: He barely gets to spend two minutes reunited with his mom before she went off to destroy the star and got killed by Akahoshi. His necklace shatters too, meaning he doesn't even have that to remember her by. Ouch...

* AmbiguousDisorder: There's almost certainly something wrong with him, being called [[YoureInsane insane]] by his fellow villagers once the truth of his crimes comes out after he gleefully brags about killing the previous Hoshikage. It isn't particularly explored, but his desire for power and recognition is clearly displayed throughout his appearance plus his lack of respect for life, his own people included, shows signs of being a clinical sociopath. Note that he always talks about honoring "[[ExactWords the village]]", but never "the people".

* ColdSniper: Fires a crossbow bolt at a kid from his own village to stop her from telling everyone about his plans, good thin it didn't hit her.

* YoureInsane: Is called this twice by one of the jōnin of Hoshi upon his crimes being exposed, and that was before he fused the star into himself. As explained in AmbiguousDisorder, the man shows tell-tale signs of clinic sociopathy.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Yotaka is not a fan of endangering the children of his own village, at least not by outright murdering them. Letting them suffer irreparable damage from the after effects of the Star training is fine though.

* SmugSnake: Shisō comes off as slimy and more willing to commit amoral acts than Yotaka.

* {{Greed}}: It has consumed the entire family, except for Mai and Tōbei, since acquiring their vast wealth. Tsukiko, in particular, covets her father's vast fortune despite marrying into another already wealthy family from a neighboring village. Even Fūta, who's mainly a nice guy, isn't entirely shy about his wanting to inherit the family fortune to the point he hires [[TheStoic Shino]] as a substitute mourner to ensure it. Thankfully, they all have a HeelRealization after Tōbei appears and tells them about what really matters in a family.

* NiceGirl: Mai is the only one aside from Tōbei with no interest in inheriting her father's money. In fact, she's the only one who Tōbei let in on his plan due to her gentle nature.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Mai is the only one of the core Kagetsu family to lack a chakra on their forehead.

* WellIntentionedExtrememist: Tōbei fakes his own death and comes up with a will that would force his family members into a situation that would cause their forced laughter would become real laughter. When that fails, he instructs Mai to put laughing drugs into everyone's tea so that all the Kagetsus would erupt into forced hysterics. Shino is able to talk him out of it, saying that artificial laughter isn't true joy, and instead transforms into Tōbei while singing a hilarious jingle to get the family laughing, which works well enough.

!!!Tōbei Kagetsu, Fūta Kagetsu, Mai Kagetsu, Tsukiko Kagetsu, and Kiyoyasu Kagetsu

'''Fūta voiced by:''' Creator/TomoyukiDan (JP), R. Martin Klein (EN)\\

'''Tsukiko voiced by:''' Creator/MisaWatanabe (JP), Mari Devon (EN)\\

A family of medicinal herb merchants who are very well off from the outskirts of the Land of Fire. The passing of family patriarch Tōbei has been complicated by a bizarre will left to his eldest son Fūta; if Fūta should for any reason laugh during his father's funeral, he will forfeit any rights to the family estate and it will instead be divided between all the other family members. Tōbei's eldest daughter Tsukiko heavily covets the wealth and will resort to any means to obtain it for herself, conspiring with the other Kagetsus such as Kiyoyasu to ensure Fūta's substitute, i.e. Naruto, bursts into laughter. Shino was the intended substitute mourner but is taken out via a laughing drug that one of the other relatives put into Fūta's dishes.

* {{Greed}}: It has consumed the entire family, except for Mai and Tōbei, since acquiring their vast wealth. Tsukiko, in particular, covets her father's vast fortune despite marrying into another already wealthy family from a neighboring village. Even Fūta, who's mainly a nice guy, isn't entirely shy about his wanting to inherit the family fortune to the point he hires [[TheStoic Shino]] as a substitute mourner to ensure it.

* SkewedPriorities: Fūta is far more upset that his greedy relatives tried to poison him with laughing drugs than with Shino now being in agony from uncontrollable cackling.

* NatureVsNurture: Onbu was brought up by Naruto (nurture) but his species instincts kick in upon his mother finding him and he attacks his ParentralSubstitute (nature). He then sees the Uzushiogakure symbol on Naruto's back which brings back the time that the Uzumaki spent raising him and his nurture wins out, protecting his foster father from his biological parent. He still leaves to be with his mother after dropping off an exhausted Naruto back to Konoha.

* RidicuoslyCuteCritter: Onbu, at first, is a little bundle of adorable that Naruto grows to view as a partner akin to Akamaru's relationship with Kiba. This changes after he reaches maturity and turns as vicious as his birth mother.

* BigfootSasquatchYeti: Onbaa are treated as cryptids akin to the Narutoverse's version of bigfoot, long thought to be just a legend until Naruto brings along one.

* SanitySlippage: He was likely never right in the head from the beginning but his integrating the star into his body causes him to become DrunkWithPower and threaten to destroy Hoshigakure if it means keeping all of the power himself.

* YoureInsane: Is called this twice by one of the jōnin of Hoshi upon his crimes being exposed, and that was before he fused the star into himself. As explained in AmbiguousDisorder, the man clearly doesn't have any respect for human life.

* HonorBeforeReason: Insists on fighting Akahoshi alone after finding out he killed the Third Hoshikage for his own ambitions, despite him increasing his own chakra via merging it with his followers'. Before that, instead of destroying the star after stealing it, she keeps it entombed within her husband's grave, leaving it open for somebody to take it back.

* {{Revenege}}: Attempted on Akahoshi upon sensing that Natsuhi had been killed, but he doesn't get very far before Akahoshi orders the training hall destroyed with him and his mother's corpse still in it. Thankfully, Sumaru himself survives via his mother's chakra taking on a will of its own via one last seal and protecting him from the blast.

* TouchOfLife: He is able to revive Hokuto and his other fellow genin via using Ninja Art Kujaku.

* TouchOfLife: Via Ninja Art Kujaku, she is able to revive Naruto after being forced to fly him through the poisonous canyon surrounding Hoshi.

* ParentalSubstitute: He looked after Sumaru after his parents were forced to flee Hoshi.

* {{Expy}}: There's four of them, they're skilled in barrier ninjutsu, are all virtually unlikable, and the Leaf and Sand genin have to team up in order to defeat them and save someone. We talking about the Four Celestials or the Sound Ninja Four? Bonus points for them all representing cardinal directions in their respective groups.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Hōki and Suiko both have deep sounding voices.

* LackOfEmpathy: Unlike his henchmen, he bears no remorse over endangering or murdering people if it means achieving his goals. He brags about killing the Hoshikage seeing the old man as incompetent for ''putting a stop to a dangerous technique that was killing people.'' If that doesn't prove it, his dismissive attitude toward [[IllBoy Mizura]], who was the closest star genin to ''dying'', will.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Like the rest of Hoshigakure, though he goes the furthest in trying to change its standing among the shinobi villages, [[FatalFlaw and not in a positive way.]] Given how powerful each of the official kages is shown to be in the canon story, and considering that Naruto is able to down him fairly easily with the Rasengan despite his OneWingedAngel form, it's pretty clear he had no chance.

* SmugSnake: Shisō comes off as slimier and more willing to commit evil deeds than Yotaka.

* MamaBear: She wants no harm to come to Sumaru and would gladly trade the star back for his life, despite the potential consequences. Too bad that this was [[BatmanGambit exactly]] what Akahoshi expected of her.

* StellarName: Her name is derived from Natsuhiboshi meaning "Summer Day Star", which the Japanese originally knew Mars as.

* ThisIsUnforgivable: Dammingly tells Akahoshi this after the latter confesses that he, along with Yotaka and Shisō, murdered the Third Hoshikage when the leader refused to restart the star training. That, on top of willingly continuing the training despite knowing full well the potential fatal outcome to those who partake in it.

* HonorBeforeReason: His motives of preserving the star training partially stem from this, as he feels without its power, Hoshigakure has no chance of ever becoming the Sixth Great Shinobi Nation. Unfortunately, his methods in keeping the exercise going involve murder and backstabbing, of which Naruto and Natsuhi take issue.

* WrongGenreSavvy: He actually believed that the Hoshi-nin would take his side over Hokuto's after Mizura clearly showcased his damaged body from the star training plus openly bragging about ''murdering'' their former leader in cold blood. They do the exact opposite.

* BrokenAce: Like Natsuhi, the complete star training made him one of Hoshi's finest, but it eventually ended up killing him via damage to his chakra network.

* PosthumousCharacter: A finer example than the Third Hoshikage. Hotarubi passed during the ten-year gap from him and Natsuhi fleeing Hoshi to the start of the Hoshigakure arc. His corpse is entombed within a large set of boulders

* LifeWillKillYou: Or rather, "the side effects of the training done to your chakra network will kill you", but still.

* BrokenAce: Like Natsuhi, the complete star training made him one of Hoshi's finest, but it ended up killing him.

* FlatCharacter: Compared to Natsuhi, all we know about him is that he attempted to steal the star with his wife and later fled to keep an eye on Hoshigakure to ensure that the star training would never resume. He only has one line in a flashback that demonstrates his affection for Sumaru but not much else is known about him.

* InformedAbility: Falls under this by default being a PoshumousCharacter and all that; all we have is Natsuhi and Akahoshi's word to go on that he mastered the star training and was as powerful as the former during his life.

They are Akahoshi's right and lefthand men, respectively. Unlike their leader, they have their reservations about their dirty deeds but go along with them out of belief that Akahoshi will raise their village's status to that of the Five Great Shinobi Nations.
