The End

    Vajra 

Vajra

  • Badass Normal: In a sense: while he still has the Sharingan, his world's Sage never taught anyone how to use ninjutsu or ninshuu, meaning he was never anything more than a scholar.
  • Cyborg: He upgraded his body using metal.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: He was the guy who warned everyone else about the Teikoku.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Is (apparently) killed offscreen by Deidara.

    Kuebiko aka Tobirama Senju — The Former Nidaime Hokage 

Kuebiko aka Tobirama Senju — The Former Nidaime Hokage

  • Aesop Amnesia: No matter how many worlds he visits he always seems to forget that the Will of Fire has flaws in it and that his brother can be wrong by the time he gets to a new world.
  • The Fundamentalist: He just loves shoving his ideals down people's' throats, when really, he has no right to preach them.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: When Deidara tries to blow himself up to take his enemies with him, Kuebiko uses a space-time jutsu to warp the two of them away into the space between worlds so nobody else will be hurt.
  • Hypocrite: Fanatically preaches the Will of Fire to anyone that will listen when he is for all intents and purposes a missing-nin — a traitor of Konoha.
    • He tries to make anyone he meets believe in the Will of Fire when he doesn't even really follow it anymore.
  • Knight in Shining Armor: Kuebiko tries to be this. He's more of a Noble Bigot.
  • Making a Splash: The best Suiton Jutsu user ever.
  • Never the Will of Fire's Fault: He absolutely refuses to admit that the Will of Fire has always created the multiverses biggest, baddest villains and has fucked up everything beyond all recognition and will always find a way to justify his hypocrisy by saying people aren't following the "true" Will of Fire.
  • Nice Guy: When he's not being The Fundamentalist.
  • Time Master: Can speed up or slow down time.

    Omoikane aka Anko Mitarashi 

Omoikane aka Anko Mitarashi

    Fukuro aka Kabuto Yakushi 

Fukuro aka Kabuto Yakushi

  • Combat Medic: It's Kabuto Yakushi: were you expecting otherwise?
  • Covert Pervert: Ninja Kama Sutra Collector Edition, by the great Professor Yakushi should be all you need to hear.
  • Mission Control: He's this to the The End bunch, and later the alliance being formed to fight the Teikoku.
  • The Smart Guy: What he acts as usually.

Others

    Amatsu-Mikaboshi — The Void 

Amatsu-Mikaboshi — The Void

  • Manipulative Bastard: His manipulation of Kazama, the Madara trio and the entire Arashi crew counts him as this.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Mikaboshi used to be one, but now its plans are mysterious.
  • The Perfectionist: Everything it creates is described as too perfect.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Purple and a virtual god.
  • This Cannot Be!: See Villainous Breakdown.
  • Space Master: It's able to see through the multiverse and those who receive its blessing gain spacial manipulation powers.
  • Star Power: It is the Star God.
  • Villainous Breakdown: In Chapter 46, once Kazama refuses to kill his friends after realizing just how far he's fallen.
    Amatsu-Mikaboshi: "I do not understand. I do not. Why? Why did you not kill them all? I saw it, time and time again, so why? All this preparation, all this planning for the desired result, wasted for why? Why didn't you kill them? Why didn't you give your heart to me? Why? This is not logical! Why? Why?! Why?! Why?! Explain! WHY?! WHY?!"

    The Shinigami — Death 

The Shinigami — Death

  • Advancing Wall of Doom: The Arashi only "beat" it because they destroyed its link to the world.
  • Anti-Villain: It is trying to save the multiverse and is rather reasonable.
    • After it takes its power back from Kazama, for reasons yet unknown, it lets him live.
  • Badass Boast: Pretty much everything it says, but here are the best.
    • "Regardless of how much you try, it is pointless trying to overcome death."
    • "Feel the power of decay."
  • Badass Longrobe: What it wears usually.
  • Hero Antagonist: Say what you like about it, but all the Shinigami's really trying to do is protect the multiverse. The only reason why it's a villain is because Kazama is currently the greatest threat to all existence in creation.
    • Note that Kazama doesn't want to be.
  • Hero Killer: Multiple times.
  • Human Resources: It materializes in the physical world by consuming willing souls in the Pure World.
  • Implacable Man: It could be The Juggernaut if it wasn't so lazy.
  • Mighty Glacier: Its offensive powers are completely broken, nothing can hurt it, but it never moves really fast.
  • No-Sell: Nothing can harm Death.
  • Time Master: Can cause anything to age to death.
  • Walking Wasteland: What he brings when he goes into the world of the living.
  • Worf Had the Flu: Rather scary considering it curbstomped the Arashi clan while practically every thing was against its favor and weakening it.

    The Sage of Six Paths Possessed by the Juubi 

The Sage of Six Paths Possessed by the Juubi

  • The Bad Guy Wins: And there are no good guys around that can change this trope.
  • Eldritch Abomination/Humanoid Abomination: It zigzags between the two at random. Half the time he/it is in a humanoid form, the other half of the time he/it's just a gigantic pile of eyes and tentacles.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: A successful one. He/it killed everything all the way down to the germs of his/its world.
  • Straw Nihilist: He/it considers life a "disease" and seeks to "cure" the world of it.
  • Tragic Monster: A holy figure fully configured into a meat puppet for the ten tails.
  • What If?: This...thing is what will happen if the Sage of the Six Paths doesn't kill himself in time or grows to proud in the Echoes-multiverse.

    Naruto — the Omnicidal Maniac 

Naruto — the Omnicidal Maniac

    The Juubi — The Envoy of the Void 

The Juubi — The Envoy of the Void

  • Affably Evil: In a Blue-and-Orange Morality kind of way.
  • Adaptational Villainy: In canon, while it is a gigantic threat to life, it is 'evil' the same way a tidal wave or a tornado is considered evil and doesn't truly try to harm people. In Echoes it is The Dragon to Amatsu-Mikaboshi and is a intelligent malevolent force that actively tries to destroy all life in an attempt to "save" humanity.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: Trying to apply the vaguest sense of morality never works with him.
  • The Dragon: To Amatsu-Mikaboshi.
  • Genius Bruiser: Mikaboshi gave his version of the Juubi a brain, and it makes it much more dangerous as the Sage of Six Paths and Alpha can attest to.
  • Irony: Accidentally. In canon the Juubi is really the Shinju, the primordial god of the world. In Echoes it's the herald of the stories' Satanic Archetype, being born to do the exact opposite of its canon-self's original purpose.
  • Manipulative Bastard: It was so persuasive that the Sage of the Six Paths killed himself because he wanted to give in to its temptation, but knew what would happen if he did.
  • Power of the Void: His default power.

    Inari aka Naruto Uzumaki — The token alternate multiverse Naruto 

Inari aka Naruto Uzumaki — The token alternate multiverse Naruto

  • Berserk Button: Teikkou Orochimaru's existence becomes this as he consistently pisses off Inari, whether its from him running around in Sasuke's body or him maiming Karasu in a way that reminds Inari of his world Neji getting Eye Scream 'd.
  • Bigger Is Better: Frequently spams the massive variants of rasengan in his battles to great effect when needed. Made one twice the radius of a tornado (That he had also made) while INSIDE of it on the Shinigami.
    • Also his personal motto for blowing things up.
  • Blow You Away: Is the strongest wind style ninjutsu user so far seen in the story (Save for the Sage of the Six Paths) to the point that he compares himself with his wind ninjutsu to Tobirama with his water ninjutsu, complete with tornadoes, massive blasts of solid air, and redirecting projectiles in mid flight.
  • The Bus Came Back: After being nearly killed by the Shinigami, he reappears in the first chapter of the War World arc.
  • Butt-Monkey: Seems to be this for the gods back in his multiverse.
    • If his seemingly joking comments are anything to go by, may be an unwilling Iron Butt Monkey.
  • Can't Catch Up: For a while was considered to be the strongest version of Naruto encountered in the story until the Warlord made his appearance. Even with all the Main characters making huge strides in their progress, he is still probably one of the strongest fighters they have on their side.
    • In general has one of the highest set of overall stats in the story so far save for the Madaras and a few other characters.
  • Chekhov's Skill: In his first fight he used Rasenshuriken as a finishing move in front of the entire cast, who at the time was unaware of Rasengan's ability to mix with other elements. Serves as the inspiration later for Kazama's Wind Rasengan Storm Flail and Naruko's Imperial Water Tide.
  • The Chew Toy: Frequently switches between this and the Butt-Monkey back home.
  • Combination Attack: Every one of his fights has at least one massive combination jutsu or a teamup with one of the other characters fighting with him. So far each example has yet to yield results short of devastating.
  • Cosmic Plaything: Literally in his multiverse. Not only does he know it, and the gods that mess with him know it, but said parties frequently comment about it in one another's presence.
  • Crazy Sane: Easy to miss, but considering the fact that he has been traveling his greater multiverse not including alternate versions of his world with God Like humans who frequently do bizarre things to him for the lulz, it is not surprising to assume that he's been in enough confusing situations that going crazy was the only way for him to adapt.
  • Dissonant Serenity: Possibly has a shade of this since he never seems to lose his cool in his fights unless actually harmed. May be a result of being a cosmic plaything for so long.
  • Energy Weapon: He points out his love for them (when not used on him) when he is being suited up for a new suit of armor.
    • Fast forward a couple of chapters where he and Chibaku team up against the Sandaime Kazekage and use one against him. He calls up his earlier comments on Lasers as a brick joke.
  • Gorn: The way the very irritated Shinigami beat him in the end: By decaying the skin on his face and eroding away half his jaw. Later stories set in his own multiverse confirm the incident was profoundly traumatic for him.
  • Hearing Voices: Claims to have three of them. Judging from Yet Again, he's telling the truth (For those not familiar, it's his parents and the Kyuubi).
  • Hero of Another Story: Is literally the main character of Yet again, with a little extra help with his experience in the Echoes-verse taking place in the timeskip between Yet Again and its its Sequel Take Two Round Two, with him flashing back to his battles alongside the Arashi at times during Take Two.
  • Hidden Disdain Reveal: Played with, Over in this own multiverse set after the events of Echoes its revealed via flashbacks that he very much picked up on and did not approve of Kazuma Slowly Slipping Into Evil and had some less than impressed opinions about Kazuma's dictatorial rule over Ame, he kept these feelings to himself during Echoes itself.
  • Indecisive Parody: He is perfectly aware that his home world (which has been noted to be roughly the same as canon until shortly after the Pain fight) has turned into this because of the presence of the god-like beings helping him.
    • It can be believed that his erratic personality reflects his home world's nature now not because he simply is that crazy, but because it was the best way for him to survive and adapt.
    • It gets more disturbing when he admits that he is completely unable to STOP his universe from being this even though said world is still very much in danger of Madara taking over due to the fact that nothing he does would stop said god-like beings, who are noted to be twisting events into unforseen direction just FOR FUN.
  • Mind Rape: Flashbacks to the events of Echoes in his own story Take Two Round Two reveals that the Shinigami melting his face off also came with an element of the Kami trying to render his Soul Deader than Dead which he experienced as a nightmarish mental assault that left him with lasting trauma.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Despite the fact that he acts more immature than virtually the entire cast most of the time, he is still noted by everyone to be the most knowledgeable human character when it comes to Multiverse mechanics and Gods. He is also one of the first to notice that Karasu was not as stable as he appeared to be. Doubles in the fact that he does this for fun.
  • OCC Is Serious Business: He viscerally does not like the sight of an Orochimaru running around in Sasuke's body with him uncharacterisatlly angry, then flashing a Slasher Smile before trying to gut said Orochimaru, also when he sufficiently provoked during a later fight with Orochimaru he becomes dead serious dropping the bulk of jokes and reminds readers he is one of the most powerful characters in the story via an aggressive beat down on the Sanin.
  • Older Than They Look: Anyone whose read Yet Again knows that while he looks a bit over fourteen, Inari is closer to being eighteen years old due to time travelling, making him one of the oldest versions of Naruto encountered in the story so far, even if he doesn't act like it.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: It's rare for a scene with him in it to not have him make some sort of crack about himself or someone else there.
  • Razor Wind: Same as Blow You Away, only he seems to be much faster in this category, being able to instantly shred up most targets before they can react or realize what he's doing.
  • Refuge in Audacity: Many of the things he says can be considered complete gibberish by the rest of the cast, when in reality they have all happened to him at some point or another, or they make sense in context given the references he makes on occasion.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Spends the later part of his fight with Orochimaru providing an less than flattering assessment of Orochimaru's character and why he grew into the monster he is now. Mainly that Orochimaru was an Attention Whore who pursued quick and easy paths to success then latched onto and stole what made other people admired when they came into their own like his teamates and then Itachi. Orochimaru descends into a near foaming at the mouth rage on hearing this.
  • Seen It All: After getting crushed in his armor by the resurrected Sandaime Kazekage and then saved by jumping to using four tails of his Kyuubi, his reaction is to mutter to himself that the fighting is "just like normal" to the ones back home.
    • Also probably the most calm of the human characters in the Shinigami fight, even though he is the most aware of how one sided the fight will be. Shown when he has a decently lengthy civil conversation with the God.
  • Stepford Smiler: If even half of the things he claims has happened to him are true, than his constant joking around and pleasant attitude may be a form of this.
  • The Worf Effect: Had half his face destroyed by the Shinigami to show how powerful it is.

    Yami Kitsune 

Yami Kitsune

    Yami Naruko 

Yami Naruko

  • Selective Obliviousness: Yes, even Naruko's dark side ignores Kazama's flaws. Well, it made one attempt to point them out, but it was extremely half-assed.

    Hikari Naruto 

Hikari Naruto

  • Anti-Villain: Started out as a Type IV, but later moved down the scale to a Type III.
  • Good Costume Switch: Wears Naruto's original Shippuden outfit in contrast to Kazama's new Darker and Edgier attire.
  • Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: He calls out Kazama for constantly blaming other people for what happened to him instead of accepting it happened.
    "Everything comes down to the fact you just can't come to term your insecurities. You have to blame someone for your misery. Anyone. Yes, your life wasn't perfect… but you can't accept it just happened. No, you have to blame everyone for intentionally ruining your life, that the entire world is out to get you. It all comes down to your wounded ego. This armor is how you are in the inside. You keep wearing it convinced it's protecting you from everything. That it makes you look tough. That somehow by being some frightening dictator in control of everything, you can fix things and make them 'right'."
  • Light Is Good/Light Is Not Good: Depends if you see suicide as the answer.
  • Martyr Without a Cause
  • Stupid Good: Depends on your opinion of his suggestion that Kazama allow the Shinigami to take him in order to protect his friends. On one hand, it could be viewed as stupid since he's basically advocating suicide, but on the other, considering that every single other person that Mikaboshi has ever come into contact with has eventually become a monstrous abomination without parallel when the Star-God's influence was allowed to run its course, suicide may actually be the more intelligent solution in his case.
  • Villain Decay: In the space of less than half a chapter. He started out giving Kazama a well deserved What the Hell, Hero? moment, but devolved into a Stupid Good idiot that Kazama easily blew off.
