Over the past few years, Naruto fans have been discussing who is the worst character out of all the characters in the Naruto franchise. We already had the most popular character poll in which Minato won, so there was an unofficial poll held in Japan for the most hated character of Naruto.
It was kind of shocking to see the result, as there were few characters on the lists that didn’t deserve to be there, and some who deserved to be there weren’t there, as most of the fans don’t hate them as much as they do.
The hatred of specific characters depends from one viewer to another; for some fans, Sakura would be the most hated character, but for some, she won’t be there as some think she was redeemed at the end of Shippuden. So, the list is based on Japanese fans who voted their personal preference.
Top 10 Most Hated Naruto Characters
10. Code
Code is now the most hated character from the Naruto franchise, as he just keeps acting like a clown. Even after receiving god-like power, what he does is simply run. He now also called the international fraud for the series.

9. Sasuke
Even though Sasuke has now changed, what he did previously can’t be forgotten. He simply got taken over by revenge. First, he wanted to take revenge ON Itachi, and then he wanted to take revenge FOR Itachi.

8. Ukyō Kodachi
Ukyō Kodachi? You might wonder why he is even on the list, but some fans actually hate him more than other Naruto characters. Fans think that he ruined Naruto’s legacy by writing Boruto. However, he later left, and now Kishimoto sensei is the head writer for Boruto.

7. Kaguya
No one loves Kaguya, just like Danzo. But I think, in general, people like her fight more than Danzo’s, plus Danzo was just the cause of so much pain. Kaguya just ruined the Madara fight we all wanted, and she’s fairly bland.

6. Boruto
At the start of the Boruto series, Boruto becomes one of the most hated characters because of arrogance. Some fans simply hate him because he just ruined Naruto’s legacy. If it were for 2017-2020, Boruto would have at least made it into the top three, but he is now getting proper development.

5. Hiruzen
Even after being on the protagonist’s side and saving Konoha many times, Hiruzen is still hated for not properly looking after Naruto or stopping the hate-spearing towards Naruto. He is also hated for the Uchiha massacre since he was the Hokage at that time, but he falls into Danzo’s wording instead of depending on his ideals.

4. Rasa
Rasa has been hated for as long as I can remember when he was first shown in Gaara’s backstory. Well, as a Kakegake, he was a good one, but as a father, he was very cruel. When Gaara was born, he made him the Jinchuriki of the one-tail so he could maintain power in the five nations.
He even made Gaara’s caretaker, Yashamaru, to kill him. As you know, Yashamaru was Gaara’s only friend at that time. His crime not only ends here because Rasa also blames Gaara for Karura’s (Gaara’s mother) death. Even though Gaara was called the monster, he was the real monster.

3. Black Zetsu
Black Zetsu was operating from the shadows and was one of the most hated characters from the Naruto franchise, as everyone hated his cowardly moves, like working from the shadows and tricking Madara, and also stabbing him from behind to revive Kaguya.

2. Sakura
From the beginning of the series to the end, Naruto fans have always hated Sakura for being a useless character. It’s like Kishimoto sensei wanted her to be the most hated character. She is now universally known as the trash can.

1. Danzo
No matter where you go or who you are, if you have watched Naruto, you are definitely going to hate this guy for sure. Danzo is THE most hated character of all time in both Naruto and Boruto. No one has yet been born to overtake his hatred.
