* While he already was Naruto's ally, [[spoiler: Kurama]] takes a '''big''' level [[spoiler:after Neji's death]] by going out of his way to remind a distressed Naruto of the sacrifices others made for him also because of what he means to them, [[spoiler:even those that were caused ''by Kurama himself''. It wasn't too long ago that a similar incident was used to the Kyuubi's advantage to persuade Naruto to release the seal...]]
* After all the atrocities he committed, Orochimaru of all people has seemingly rethought his life. With Kabuto serving as a mirror to his actions, Orochimaru eventually realized that he could no longer have [[HeelFaceTurn his way]] anymore. So out of charity (and perhaps guilt) he assisted Tsunade's recovery after her battle with Madara. Proclaiming that Sasuke is better off monitored, than controlled.

* Kakashi goes from an arrogant, selfish brat who is angry with the world to the much kinder and humble person he is today because of what Obito taught him.
* After his [[DefeatMeansFriendship defeat]] by Naruto, Neji goes from an {{Jerkass}} ArrogantKungFuGuy who [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown harshly beat his cousin Hinata]] to a generally nice guy who shows concern when she is injured and [[ShipperOnDeck supports her crush on Naruto]].
* There's also Neji's uncle, Hiashi Hyuuga. [[AbusiveParents He started off treating Hinata]] as TheUnFavourite, due to the family believing her to be a failure because of [[LightIsGood her kind and gentle personality]], in comparison to her more aggressive younger sister.

* Kankuro also qualifies, starting off as an arrogant, HotBlooded JerkAss and becoming noticeably kinder in Shippuuden, partly due to his improving relationship with Gaara.
* Many people overlook it, but Sasuke did this for a short period. [[TrueCompanions Team 7]] managed to bring him out of his shell to the point that he was willing to die to defend them. Then Itachi scrambled his brains and he ended up [[TookALevelInJerkass power-levelling in Jerkass]].
** In the second half of the Shinobi World War, [[spoiler:he gets this after having decided to go from avenger of the Uchiha Clan to protector of the Hidden Leaf Village ([[ReformedButNotTamed well, or so it seems at first]]).]]
* Gaara himself is also one, thanks to his defeat from Naruto; as he goes from a cold-blooded, murderous sociopathic serial killer to a kind, gentle, shy and charismatic Kazekage.
* While he already was Naruto's ally, [[spoiler: Kurama]] takes a '''big''' level [[spoiler:after Neji's death]] by going out of his way to remind a distressed Naruto of the sacrifices others made for him also because of what he means to them, [[spoiler:even those that were caused ''by Kurama himself''.
