* Gaara, [[HeelFaceTurn at first]], was a complete sociopath who killed people just for annoying him.
* Sai, at his beginnings, justified by NoSocialSkills. It progressively fades away with time, but Sai remains the one willing to [[BrutalHonesty bluntly tell the unpleasant truths]].
* Suigetsu Hozuki, who's a total dick to everyone who he knows won't respond with violence.
* Danzo Shimura. If you take into account that he has never spent a second thought reflecting [[SelectiveObliviousness on what effects his actions have had]] nor the people who are just as dedicated to peace as him (Shisui, the original Akatsuki) or unaffiliated with the shinobi world anymore (Kabuto's foster mother Yakushi Nonou) then he undoubtedly qualifies for this trope.



** Also constantly referring to the Bijuu as filthy beasts certainly qualifies him as such. Remember that it's been established that all the Tailed Beasts have their own names and feelings; Madara keeps alluding that the Bijuu are nothing more than mindless monsters running around unsupervised and that they deserved to have a leash tied around their necks. What a jerk.

* Mizuki. He once murdered a comrade for being "too weak", and he reveals the truth about Naruto's origins with sadistic glee.



* ''Anime/NarutoTheMovieBloodPrison'': Maroi is Bee's friend and was asked by him to protect Naruto. Naruto realizes, Maroi was very willing to let him die.

Naruto is generally recognised as a loudmouthed, brash Jerk With A Heart Of Gold who gradually matures into a fun-loving, compassionate Nice Guy who loves his entire village, to the point of bordering on an All Loving Hero; so all in all, he is not a Jerkass


* In the [[Manga/Naruto1997 pilot]], Naruto was an even bigger BrattyHalfPint than even his worst in canon, especially [[UrineTrouble urinating on]] a boy [[DisproportionateRetribution for spreading rumors about him]], and [[KickTheDog this exchange with the chief]]:
-->'''Chief:''' Humans and Yokai need to live together in peace. Why can't you make any human friends?\\
'''Naruto:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Oh, like you have so many. I've never even seen one]]!\\
'''Chief:''' Fool!!!! I had eight... UNTIL YOUR FATHER KILLED THEM! We took pity on the baby... it was dumb luck that saved you. Now you're a friendless, sullen brat.\\
'''Naruto:''' If friends are so important... why don't you go join yours?
* [[spoiler: Shinno]] from ''Anime/NarutoShippudenTheMovieBonds'' turns out to be a major asshole under his guise as a good doctor.

* Madara Uchiha is such a dick that not even Kurama, the nine-tailed fox, a self-proclaimed "living mass of malevolence," can't stand him. The moment the man came on to the scene, Kurama immediately initiated an EnemyMine with Naruto, who he has served as an EnemyWithin for most of the series. Uchiha Madara is pretty much the biggest dick in the entire series, and that says a lot.

* Sasuke Uchiha wavers for quite a while between being a straight-up Jerkass (especially after the TimeSkip) and a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and/or having a HiddenHeartOfGold; despite his constant posturing, and especially prior to his HeroicBSOD (Rival edition) and FaceHeelTurn courtesy of his AloofBigBrother, he ''is'' shown warming up to his team mates and putting his life on the line to protect them. Then he [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope Jumps over The Slippery Slope]], which is a pity.

** In fact almost everyone who has ever met and spoken to this man [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating hates his guts]]. Even his long-time accomplice Tobi, [[spoiler:aka Obito Uchiha]], [[EveryoneHasStandards reveals that he doesn't care for him all that much either]]. The only people who can tolerate him are Senju Hashirama, who was once his best friend, and Izuna, his brother, though Madara did everything he could to hate Hashirama and, in rejecting his assistance, essentially let Izuna die.

* Neji Hyuuga is introduced as this, looking down on those he saw as weaker than him[[note]]Virtually every genin-level ninja, but especially Lee, Hinata and Naruto[[/note]] until Naruto [[DefeatMeansFriendship beats it out of him]]. Before this happened, the nicest thing we have seen him do is offer his cousin a chance to surrender before their match. And then, for all intents and purposes, he tries to kill her and only fails because the adults in charge are quick enough to jump in and stop him. And then he has the audacity to get upset and cry favoritism when they stop him from essentially murdering his defenseless cousin.

* When he isn't [[AxCrazy killing everything in sight]], Hidan is a fucking ''dick'' to everyone he's not supposed to kill. For example, he taunts Team 10 [[spoiler:and their dead sensei, whom he killed]] in order to provoke them.
