* ''Fanfic/{{Echoes|Kagaseo}}'': In a fanfiction where the main characters were traveling through the multiverse, several characters stood out by their sheer monstrosity:
** [[WouldHurtAChild Kenta Ayatsuri]] is a jōnin of Konoha, as well as a [[VillainWithGoodPublicity philanthropist]] who founded an orphanage. However, Kenta turned the orphans into {{Tykebomb}}s and prostitutes to fund his activities. Training Kamui, the Wave-Verse's [[Characters/NarutoKakashiHatake Kakashi]], Kenta turned him into another tyke-bomb. When Minato added Kamui to his own team, taking him away from Kenta, the latter contacted the enemy in order to sabotage Team Minato's mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge, and to get rid of them, barring Kamui, leading to Obito's death. Fleeing Konoha after his crimes were discovered, he sent brainwashed children to massacre Konoha families, and, in the Wave-Verse, kidnaps a pregnant Rin. Killing the baby, Kenta tortured Rin to death and greeted Kamui with her corpse when he tried to rescue her. He also tried to recreate Kamui with other children, killing or wounding them in the process. In ''The Past Enemy Arc'', Kenta is [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduced]] horribly killing Kin, a little girl, because she cried when he gave her to a brothel. He attempted to kidnap Rin and Kakashi's child, succeeding with Rin. When his subordinate suggested to kill Kamui, Kenta [[BadBoss killed him]]. When confronted by Kamui, [[NeverMyFault he blamed everyone but himself for his crimes]] and revealed that he committed all of this to turn Kakashi into his "masterpiece", and so that [[FameThroughInfamy he will be remembered]]. When Kamui replies that he will do everything to forget him, a spiteful Kenta attempts to kill him and Rin.
** [[EvilMentor Izanagi]], the [[Characters/NarutoMadaraUchiha Madara Uchiha]] from Izanami's world, [[AdaptationalVillainy lacks]] the redeeming qualities his canon counterpart and [[Characters/EchoesTheMadaraGuys the Madara Trio]] have. Planning to execute the Eye of the Moon plan to satisfy his god complex, Izanagi resurrected a dying Izanami and made her immortal to test his newfound immortality technique. Izanagi trained her but also horribly abused her to his content, forcing her into prostitution and torturing her when she rebelled. When she didn't fulfill his expectations, he planned to replace her with her baby son, Itachi, out of misogyny, leading to his death at Izanami's hands. When resurrected by Susanoo, Izanagi allied with him against the Arashi Clan only so that he could get back at Izanami and seal her alive forever. He revived 5 Kages with Edo Tensei to use as puppets against the Arashi clan. When curb-stomped by the Sage of the Six Paths, he had no problem dropping the moon on Earth to stall him, planning to go to another universe to start over his plan if it destroyed the planet. Thoroughly depraved beneath his soft-spoken character, Izanagi [[SmallRoleBigImpact left an impact despite his short appearance]].
** In the "Ame-Verse", [[TheSocialDarwinist Yagura]], the Fourth Mizukage, [[AdaptationalVillainy sheds any redeeming qualities]] his canon counterpart had. Under the guise of "human progress", Yagura started in Kiri's Ninja Academy a graduation program consisting of students killing each other, in order to weed out the weak in favor of the strong. With his "Blood Police", Yagura kills any "weak" civilian, shinobi, clansman and started a FinalSolution to [[FantasticRacism the bloodline wielders]]' question. Allying with Ame's Hanzo, he chose to kill Nagato, Yahiko and Konan, not due to his alliance with Hanzo, but because he hated them, saying that he would have killed them even if he wasn't allied with Hanzo. After having killed Yahiko, he laughs [[KickTheDog at Konan while she cries over Yahiko's death, and mocks Hanzo when the latter regretted Yahiko.]] After being challenged with Hanzo in a fight by Kazama, the original Naruto, and Tsukiyom, Kazama's World's Madara Uchiha, he almost kills part of the audience during one of his attacks, attempted to [[ImAHumanitarian eat]] Kazama during the fight, and released the [[EldritchAbomination Sanbi]] from his body out of spite after his defeat, telling it to avenge him. Believing that Jinchuriki were the MasterRace, Yagura was accurately described as an "all-around monster".
** In the "Road to Ninja" verse, [[Characters/NarutoObitoUchiha Obito Uchiha]] also lacked any qualities his canon counterpart had. After defeating the Shinobi Alliance, Obito launched the Infinite Izanagi, killing his entire world and creating his own personal paradise, in which he created everyone the way he wanted them, and joined the Teikoku. When Kazama and Tsukiyomi entered the "Road to Ninja" world, Obito, being a psychologist, kept an eye on the former during their sessions. Despite having already gained his personal paradise, Obito plans to spread the Infinite Izanagi through the multiverse, at the risk of destroying countless worlds just so that he can live his fantasies. He doesn't even care about his own creations, abusing his "favorite son" Menma, and destroying his world's Konoha and several of his inhabitants, seeing them as ultimately replaceable, even his supposed LoveInterest, Rin. When defeated by Kazama, Obito released the [[EldritchAbomination Ten-Tails]] from his body out of spite. Believing himself to be [[AGodAmI a god]], Obito was nothing more than a PsychopathicManchild who wanted to fulfill his wishes no matter what.

After marrying him, Hinata killed Naruto's parents, ripping his mother limb-from-limb before ripping out her heart, all because Naruto stated he loved them more. Hinata also drugged and raped him on a daily basis, leading to their daughter [[ChildByRape Himawari's birth]], and would've groomed Himawari into becoming like her and her clan had Naruto not taken advantage of Hinata's weakness to escape Konoha with Himawari. Successfully tracking down Naruto 8 years later, Hinata defeats him, describes to him how she killed his mother, and would've raped him again had Himawari not stepped in.
