Roshi Ajisai

The granddaughter of Roshi, a.k.a. Son Goku the Gorilla of the Kyuushingai. Introduced in the second Gaiden.

• Action Girl: She doesn't shy away from fights. In fact, while introducing herself to her new classmates at Mist City High, she declares that her goal in life is to become the world female boxing champion.
• Does Not Like Spam: Dislikes sweet stuff.
• Fiery Redhead
• The Lad-ette
• Named by the Adaptation: She has no surname to speak of in the canon series.
• New Transfer Student: At the time we meet her, she's just beginning her first day of the new school year at Mist City High, after having been (unwillingly) transferred from Iwa City High due to moving to Mist City for her mother's job.
• Not a Morning Person
• Related in the Adaptation: She's Roshi's granddaughter in this universe; they have no connection to each other in the canon series.
• Trademark Favorite Food: French fries.

Kimura Mikoshi

One of Ajisai's new classmates at Mist City High, with a chivalrous attitude toward women. He's also Maki's older twin brother. Introduced in the second Gaiden.

• Badass Bookworm: His stated interests include the study of English literature and watching nature documentaries, and his career aspiration is to become a teacher. Also, he can kick your ass with incredible ease.
• Berserk Button: Maki's safety is paramount for him. Implying that you have done, or are going to do, any harm to her will result in him tearing you and your gang a new one.
• Beware the Nice Ones: He's usually pretty polite, even to people who're rude to him...but the gloves come off if you endanger his sister.
• Big Brother Instinct: He'll do whatever he needs to do to rescue Maki if she's in danger.
• Glasses Pull: He takes them off when preparing to uphold his insistence that Omoi call of his intended fight with Ajisai. And as Omoi discovers, Mikoshi can physically back up that insistence if pressed.
• Named by the Adaptation: He doesn't have a surname to speak of in the canon series.
• One-Man Army: He maims and batters eleven guys in one moment's onslaught, with no intention of stopping, after one of them cracks a joke about Maki becoming "sloppy seconds." It takes a Cooldown Hug from Ajisai to stop him.
• Related in the Adaptation: In canon, the only connection between him and Maki is that they're both from the Hidden Sand Village.
• Scary Shiny Glasses: When he's especially pissed off, as the thirty-first Gaiden reveals.
• Smart People Wear Glasses: Well, his ambition is to become a teacher, after all.
• Unstoppable Rage: Taunting him that Maki's become "sloppy seconds" was not the smartest thing to do, as the thug responsible for it found out moments later.
• Would Not Hit a Girl: And he won't allow anyone else to hit girls either, if he can prevent it. Likely because of his family's history of Domestic Abuse.

Yamazaki Omoi

A classmate of Ajisai and Mikoshi with a reputation for being a ruthless fighter from the wrong side of town. Introduced in the second Gaiden.

• Adaptational Villainy: Downplayed. In the canon series, while a shinobi of the Hidden Cloud, Omoi was definitely on the good guys' side. Here, he's a delinquent who doesn't appear to care about the feelings of others, but he's not completely unreasonable.
• Delinquent
• The Dreaded: His classmates and even his home-room teacher are afraid of him because of his reputation; just the mention of his name is enough to make others nervous.
• Fight Magnet: He tends to have Mist City's local thugs out to pick fights with him, and he himself sees it as a viable training method.
• Know When to Fold 'Em: On seeing that Mikoshi is fast enough to dodge one of his punches and take a button from his shirt in the process, Omoi decides not to press his luck further.
• Named by the Adaptation: He has no revealed surname in canon.
• Would Hit a Girl: He's not one to back down from a fight, even if the challenger is a woman.

Kimura Maki

Mikoshi's younger twin sister and another Mist City High student. Introduced in the second Gaiden.

• Damsel in Distress:
• Genki Girl: According to Mikoshi, and she certainly acts the part.
• Named by the Adaptation: She doesn't have a surname to speak of in canon.
• Related in the Adaptation: In canon, the only connection between her and Mikoshi is that they're both from the Hidden Sand Village.
• Stepford Smiler: While revealing her and Mikoshi's Domestic Abuse history to Ajisai.

Roshi Honoka

Ajisai's mother, who's introduced in the second Gaiden but officially named in the sixty-first Gaiden.

• My Beloved Smother: How Ajisai sees her.
• Related in the Adaptation: Honoka has no relation to either Roshi or Ajisai in canon.
• Trademark Favorite Food: She has a preference for any products made by Kurosawa Foods, as they have a reputation for top-notch quality.

Lawyer Kaneko Zeshin

A prosecutor based out of Ame Town, and an old acquaintance of Uzuki Yugao's who is introduced in the fourth Gaiden.

• Black-and-White Morality: As shown in the fourth Gaiden.
• Gentleman Snarker
• Named by the Adaptation: He was the first Raikage in canon, and he wasn't identified by a proper name.

Kinjo Naizen

The creator of the Shadow Fox comic series, he appears in the eighth Gaiden.

• Creator Cameo: In-universe example, as in the eighth Gaiden he's set to make an appearance in an episode of the Shadow Fox TV series.
• Named by the Adaptation: In canon, he was the unnamed daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

Sakata Emi

An actress who stars as Shadow Fox in the TV series adaptation of the comic, she appears in the eighth Gaiden.

• Action Girl: She plays one, at least.
• Named by the Adaptation: In canon, Emi was a very minor character whose surname was not revealed.

Morishita Atsui

An actor who stars as Ghost Wolf in the Shadow Fox TV series, he appears in the eighth Gaiden.

• Ascended Fanboy: At the time the eighth Gaiden is set, before he landed the role of Ghost Wolf, Atsui was a film student who did independent films that expounded on the whys and wherefores of his favorite comic book character...who just so happened to be Ghost Wolf.
• Mean Character, Nice Actor: An in-universe example. Ghost Wolf is a nasty gang leader and super-criminal from the Shadow Fox series; Atsui is a chummy fellow who gets along quite fine with Emi, Shadow Fox's actress.
• Named by the Adaptation: Atsui didn't have a revealed surname in canon.

Hoseki Guren

A high school Physics teacher from Kumo City, and Sagi's eventual lover. She first appears in the eleventh Gaiden.

• Kindhearted Cat Lover
• Named by the Adaptation: She didn't have a revealed surname in canon. The author gave her the surname Hoseki (which is Japanese for "gem", in reference to her canon self's Crystal Release technique).

Owashi Sagi

A sophomore Computer Science college student attending school in Kumo City, and Guren's eventual lover. He first appears in the eleventh Gaiden.

• Ascended Extra: In canon, he was important to his sister Toki's back-story, but that's about it.
• Bigger Is Better in Bed: According to Guren's silent observation, while Sagi's body in general is average-looking, he's got a pretty impressive girth that will make any girl who's lucky to have him very happy.
• The Grunting Orgasm: Has one as a result of having sex with Guren.
• Missing Mom: His mother died before he was old enough to really remember her.
• Named by the Adaptation: His surname, Owashi, was his father's given name in the original anime; their actual family name was not revealed there.
• Nerds Are Virgins: An aversion, as while he's pursuing a Computer Science degree, at the time he's introduced in the eleventh Gaiden he'd already lost his virginity during his final year of high school.
• Spared by the Adaptation: In canon, he's dead long before the arc where his family is featured.

Owashi Toki

Sagi's younger sister, she's present during Guren's first meeting with Sagi's father in the twelfth Gaiden.

• Big Brother Instinct: An inverted and gender-flipped example. Toki is protective of her older brother, even urging Guren not to do anything that might hurt him.
• Green-Eyed Monster: She confides to Guren that she's a little jealous that Sagi was able to lose his virginity during high school, due to the Double Standard that would ensue if she ever lost her own virginity out of wedlock.
• Named by the Adaptation: Same deal as Sagi.

Hideaki Sumire

A real estate agent and married mother of two, who comes for an appointment at Mabui's spa in the twenty-first Gaiden. She's revealed to be Hoseki Guren's older sister in the twenty-fifth Gaiden.

• Big Sister Instinct: When they were children, Sumire always beat up other kids who picked on Guren. Also, when Guren's Jerkass ex-husband Genkei blames their failed marriage and his own infidelity on Guren's supposed fertility troubles, Sumire's ready to physically tear him a new one right there and then.
  Sumire: Hey, when kids pick on one's kid sibling, it's the bigger sibling's responsibility to protect said kid sibling.
• Happily Married: For sixteen years, as the twenty-fifth Gaiden reveals.
• The Modest Orgasm: Experiences a very quiet one during Okyo's ministrations on her feet in her massage session. She tips Okyo quite generously for it, and it helps her get in the mood for her husband later.
• Named by the Adaptation: Sumire didn't have a revealed surname in canon.
• Related in the Adaptation: In the canon series, Sumire and Guren had no connection to each other.

Okyo

The newest employee at Mabui's spa, she's Sumire's massage therapist in the twenty-first Gaiden.

• Pressure Point: As with other massage therapists at the spa, she's been trained by Mabui as to how to manipulate these while massaging clients, to maximize their enjoyment of the session. She inadvertently gets Sumire to experience a quiet orgasm while rubbing her feet due to manipulation of a particular point in her soles.

Oshiro Genkei

Guren's ex-husband, who appears in the twenty-fifth Gaiden as a patron at the cafe where Guren, Sumire and Sagi just happen to be having their own get-together.

• Jerkass: He blames Guren, to her face, in front of her boyfriend and her sister, in a public place, for supposedly having infertility problems that led to them being unable to have children and that, according to him, resulted in him cheating on her with her best friend just to be able to have a child to pass on his name.
• Must Have Caffeine: The whole reason he's at the cafe in the twenty-fifth Gaiden is to grab a cappuccino before a business meeting with some clients.
• Named by the Adaptation: In canon, he was the unnamed Third Kazekage.
• Never My Fault: While he readily cops to his cheating ways being the direct cause of his and Guren's marriage ending, he asserts that that only happened because, for the six years they'd been together, they had tried and failed to have children—and he blames Guren for it, saying her "plumbing" doesn't work. Sagi calls him out on it, asking if Genkei ever did his own medical checkup to eliminate himself as the real problem.
• Two-Timing with the Bestie: He cheated on Guren with her best friend. It's why they're now divorced.

The Three Paragons

The three strongest fighters in Mist City's underground street fighting circuit, who briefly appear at the end of the thirty-first Gaiden and are officially introduced in the fifty-sixth Gaiden (which chronologically takes place a few weeks after the events of the thirty-first Gaiden). Their names are Ito Ryota, Jomae Hanare, and Gushiken Junichi, and they are interested in inviting Mikoshi, Ajisai and Omoi to take part in a mysterious tournament known as the Zenkusen.

• The Ace: All three of them are this within Mist City's street fighting circuit. Even the local gangs treat them with respect because of it, mostly because the trio is strong enough to kick their asses.
• Action Girl: Hanare, as one of the Paragons. She actually won the first staging of the Zenkusen two years prior.
• Asskicking Leads to Leadership: All three of them earn their One-Man Army statuses during the 365 days and maintain their power through the previous two Zenkusen tournaments.
• Battle Butler: Junichi is revealed in the sixty-first Gaiden to work as a butler for the affluent Kurama family.
• Blood Knight: All of them are eager to test their skills against potential worthy opponents, but Ryota is the most blatant with his desire to fight Omoi.
• The Determinator: According to Hanare, one has to be this to be a member of the Paragons; in her words, "it takes grit, drive, and determination."
• Family Business: Hanare's family operates Jomae's, a restaurant in downtown Mist City which was started by her grandmother.
• The Fashionista: Hanare has an eye for name-brands, particularly boots.
• Hot-Blooded: Ryota is significantly more impatient compared to his two companions.
• Living Legend: It's all in the name, Paragon, and Mist City natives Mikoshi and Omoi definitely know who they are. They got this status because of all of them singlehandedly fighting gangs invading their respective boroughs during the 365 days.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Just go to the Naruto Wiki page and look at the Human Path's original appearance. That's who Junichi is in this fic.
• Mr. Exposition: Each of them shows up to one of the three Mist City protagonists (Ryota to Omoi, Junichi to Mikoshi, and Hanare to Ajisai) to offer an invitation to participate in the Zenkusen and explain what it's about. It's justified for Hanare since she knows that Ajisai is a relative newcomer to Mist City and therefore wouldn't know about the tournament; Omoi and Mikoshi, being long-time natives, already know about it.
• Mysterious Watcher: The Paragons are all introduced this way at the end of the thirty-first Gaiden, watching Mikoshi and company rescuing Maki from a distance away and contemplating inviting him and his friends to the Zenkusen.
• Named by the Adaptation: Hanare didn't have an established surname in the canon anime. Neither Ryota nor Junichi were identified by name either (they are the ninjas whose bodies were used for Pain's Preta Path and Human Path, respectively).
• One-Gender School: Hanare attends Hoshigaki Girls' Academy, a few blocks away from and 15 years older than Mist City High School.
• One-Man Army: Mikoshi notes that each of the Paragons is famous for having singlehandedly fought off gang attacks in his/her part of Mist City during the 365 days.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: A downplayed case with Junichi and Ryoto, respectively. They're both powerful fighters who, along with Hanare, are the strongest underground street fighters in the Mist City area. However, Junichi is more reserved and restrained, whereas Ryoto is blunter, more to-the-point, and more eager to fight any opponent he deems worthy.
• The Smurfette Principle: As Hanare admits to Ajisai, it gets a little lonesome for her to be the only girl in the Paragons.
• Supreme Chef: The sixty-first Gaiden shows Hanare as a capable cook, with her particular favorite dish to prepare being potato salad. She herself proudly admits she likes to cook, having learned to do so at her parents' advice.
  Hanare: My parents have always been insistent that a proper lady should be able to cook her own meals at least 80 percent of the time.
• Two Guys and a Girl: For those not aware, Hanare is the girl.

Tsubaki

Hokuto's homeroom teacher at Uzushio High School in Whirl City, she's introduced in the thirty-second Gaiden.

• Bathing Beauty: When we first see her, she's coming out from her afternoon bath to answer the telephone. As soon as she's done, she prepares to go right back into the bath.
• Black-and-White Morality: She is firmly of the mindset that Naruto being a Kyuushingai makes him a bad influence for Hokuto, mainly because Whirl City was one of the worst-affected cities during the 365 days. Even before he revealed himself to be a Kyuushingai over the radio, Tsubaki was already of a negative opinion about him due to the incident where he fought the Star-Boys Gang on Uzushio High's grounds and caused significant property damage there, only for him to (in her eyes and the eyes of the rest of Whirl City) become a Karma Houdini for it.

Oishi Taiseki

Kaiza's former batch-mate during their days at the police academy, now a cop working for the Yu City Police Department, he's introduced in the thirty-second Gaiden.

• By-the-Book Cop: He's close friends with Kaiza because of this. He's also not a fan of the Kyuushingai because of this.
• Lantern Jaw of Justice: He's a cop who believes quite strongly in justice, and the narrative describes him as having "a jawline that looked like it'd been chiseled off a rock."
• Named by the Adaptation: According to the canon Naruto wiki page, his given name, Taiseki, is an irregular pronunciation of the Japanese term for "big stone," which is usually pronounced as "oishi." The author therefore decided to give him Oishi as a surname.

Detective Chiba Yurika

A detective attached to the Sound City Police Department, introduced in the thirty-fifth Gaiden.

• Everyone Has Standards: She is so gobsmacked and disgusted to witness Yui telling her daughter Yukata that she (Yukata) was an accidental pregnancy that Yui never wanted and still hates for ruining her life-plans to the point of having to seriously fight the temptation to put a bullet in the offender's head.
• It Runs in the Family: Both of her parents were crime-scene investigators, and Yurika herself is a police detective.
• Named by the Adaptation: She didn't have a surname in canon.
• Punny Name: Her first name, Yurika, sounds exactly like what you think. She herself has heard it all before.
  Yurika: My parents were crime-scene investigators with a poor sense of humor.

Enomoto Ibara

Appearing in the forty-fourth Gaiden during the Reckoning arc, Ibara is a detective-sergeant assigned to the Shimo City Police Department, the vice-president of the national police federation, and an old academy batch-mate of Kaiza and Oishi Taiseki.

• Adaptational Badass: While we have yet to see her in any action scenes, the fact that she's a police detective in this universe makes her leagues more active than her canon role as a civilian of Konoha.
• By-the-Book Cop: This trait coincides with her being anti-Kyuushingai, similar to Kaiza and Taiseki.
• Named by the Adaptation: Ibara's canon counterpart didn't have a revealed surname.

Fujimori Galena

A member of Kira's medical staff on his private island. She's also Shino's mother and Shibi's ex-wife.

• Amicable Exes: With Shibi.
• Determined Doctor: As she herself admits, she doesn't handle it well when it comes to losing patients, and therefore she'll pull out every stop to ensure she can save each one.
• Missing Mom: She was this to Shino during the main story, having not appeared in the primary plot. She makes her first appearance in the forty-ninth Gaiden.
• Named by the Adaptation: In canon, she was an unnamed researcher who served Kakashi during his time as the sixth Hokage.
• Related in the Adaptation: She has no connections to any of the Aburame clan in canon.

Gato

A lawyer from Mist City who handles criminal cases on behalf of Kira, and who used to handle personal-injury litigations for Hyuga Corporation's Mist City branch, he makes his first appearance in the fiftieth Gaiden.

• Amoral Attorney: So amoral, in fact, that even Mitokado Homura is disgusted by him.
  Mitokado: Simply put, he makes the phrase "amoral attorney" sound like a bid for sainthood in comparison to what he does.
• Evil Old Folks: Like his canon counterpart, he is not a moral person.
• Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: When the Kira-Killers seek him out and try to force him to give up Kira's current location, Gato warns that he has friends in high places, and if he—a well-known lawyer in Mist City—should disappear suddenly, people will ask questions. One of those connections turns out to be Jiraiya, who approaches him with an as-yet undisclosed proposal at the end of the arc following his Cold-Blooded Torture at the group's hands.

Maboroshi Kisuke

The president of the national police federation, and the lieutenant and Yugito's former commanding officer at the Kumo City Police Department.

• Spared by the Adaptation: In the canon series, he was a ghost. Here, he's very much alive and well.

Takumi Kujaku

A former detective of the Kumo City Police Department with a grudge against Yugito.

• Insignia Ripoff Ritual: Throws out her badge and gun in protest against Kisuke's refusal to bring Yugito to book for being one of the Terrors.
• Named by the Adaptation: Her surname comes from the canon series' Takumi village, which Kujaku's original counterpart hailed from.
• Only Sane Man: Sees herself as the only one in the Kumo City Police Department who believes Yugito should have been arrested for being one of the Kyuushingai. However, Kisuke calls BS on this, as he points out that Kujaku's claims to that effect are only a convenient way for her to exercise a one-sided rivalry with Yugito.
• The Resenter: Toward Yugito, which Kisuke calls her out on in the sixtieth Gaiden.

Tokisuki Kabure

An officer assigned to the Whirl City Police Department's Internal Affairs division, and an old associate of Kaiza's.

• Internal Affairs: He works for them.

Kurosawa Mifune

The chief executive officer of Kurosawa Foods, and the sponsor for the Zenkusen tournament.

• Composite Character: His surname in this story (he didn't have one in canon) is the name of his canon counterpart's sword.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Acquieses to Hanare's request to help persuade Ajisai's mother to let her participate in the Zenkusen tournament.

Kurama Yakumo

The daughter of the illustrious Kurama family in Water County, for whom Junichi works as their butler.

Kurama Murakumo

A political figure who represents one of Water County's constituencies, and Yakumo's father.

Kentaro

A fighter brought in by Mifune to be the final challenge for this year's staging of the Zenkusen, just prior to the start of the main story. He first shows up in the sixty-second Gaiden and then is formally introduced by name in the sixty-third Gaiden.

• Archnemesis Dad: He's Mikoshi's and Maki's long-incarcerated father.
• Lightning Bruiser: In a demonstration of his fighting skill at Mifune's behest, Kentaro proceeds to repel one of Mifune's servants (who was forced to fight him by Mifune as punishment for stealing) and absolutely batters him while using only his left arm all the while—and, as Mifune notes, it's not Kentaro's dominant arm.
• Meaningful Name: "Kentaro" means "big man," and he's definitely a tall and imposing fighter.
• Named by the Adaptation: In canon, he was the human form of Pain's Naraka Path.
• The Stoic: He has yet to emote in any way.
• The Quiet One: Outside of a few grunts during his exercise routine, and grunts of acknowledgement when Mifune speaks to him, he has yet to say a direct coherent word. Until the sixty-sixth Gaiden, where he speaks a few brief words of commendation to Ajisai after she calls him out for his terrible parenting.

The Zenkusen Participants

The fighters who, along with Mikoshi, Ajisai, Omoi, and the Three Paragons, attend the third annual staging of the Zenkusen with the hope of claiming its offered grand prize. Introduced in the sixty-second Gaiden, they include Zosui, Funari, Pakura, Kyoya, Sabiru, Morio, Gantetsu, Ahmya, Chukichi, and Gelel Temujin.

• Acrofatic: Both Funari and Chukichi are big-bodied and able to move very fast. Funari is explicitly a sumo practitioner, while Chukichi is a member of a 100-year-old order of warrior-monks.
• Action Girl: Pakura and Ahmya are two of the tournament's four female participants (Ajisai and Hanare being the other two).
• Badass in a Nice Suit: Temujin is wearing a blue business suit with a maroon-colored tie when he's first introduced.
• Big Eater: Funari, and it's justified by him being a sumo wrestler.
• Boisterous Bruiser: Morio is a loud and jolly sort. Because of it, Ajisai thinks he's embarrassing, while Omoi and Pakura both think he's an idiot.
• Cool Mask: Pakura wears a gray one that covers her nose and mouth, as part of the metallic-gray bodysuit she wears.
• Dance Battler: Morio is a capoeira practitioner.
• Extremity Extremist: Temujin uses a largely kick-based fighting style, with the justification that as a medical practitioner, he should never use his hands to cause harm to others.
• The Grappler: Gantetsu is famous in Water County's professional wrestling circuit, and his fighting style naturally matches.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Temujin, just like his canon-series counterpart.
• Named by the Adaptation: In canon, Ahmya was one of several nameless Takigakure kunoichi that Naruto and Iruka had the misfortune of meeting during a mission. Likewise, Temujin's surname of Gelel is taken from the Stone of Gelel which was used by him and his comrades as a power source during their feature movie.
• Ninja: Kyoya and Sabiru are members of rival ninja tribes. Kyoya hails from the Kazaha clan, while Sabiru is a member of the Ishi no Hi clan.
• The Quiet One: Pakura isn't one for extended conversations, as noted by Omoi.
• The Rival: Kyoya and Sabiru, by virtue of being members of opposing ninja clans. Also, Temujin says that the Gelel Foundation, run by his family, has a business rivalry with the Kurama family that Junichi represents, which he says is basically a localized version of the Hyuga-Uchiha rivalry.
• Scars Are Forever: Kyoya has two scars on his face, one across his forehead and the other running down the left side of his face. Sabiru inflicted the wounds on him during the previous year's Zenkusen, further fueling the grudge that already existed between them and, by extension, their clans.
• Scarf of Asskicking: Kyoya and Sabiru both wear these. Kyoya's is white and covers his mouth and neck; Sabiru's is black and covers the entire lower half of his face.
• Warrior Monk: Chukichi hails from a 100-year-old order of these.

Asama Sandayu

The mayor of Kumo City, introduced in the sixty-seventh Gaiden.

• I Did What I Had to Do: His reasoning for trying to downplay the number of casualties, specifically among the cops of Kumo City, following the 365 days.

Hayama Shirakumo

Oishi Taiseki's lawyer.

Okura Ittan

An agent of the Whirl City Police Department's Internal Affairs branch.

• Internal Affairs: He works for them in Whirl City.
