Obito, a prominent character in the Naruto series, possessed great power and mystery. His origins and journey remained unknown to us for a significant portion of the series. Throughout the storyline, Obito's actions left a profound impact on many individuals, particularly Kakashi.
Obito's connection to Sasuke Uchiha stems from their shared lineage as descendants of the Uchiha and Senju clans. Tragically, Obito's parents perished during a mission, preventing him from ever meeting them. He was raised by his grandmother, who acted as his sole living relative and served as an excellent mentor. Despite never having met his parents, she instilled in Obito a deep reverence for them.
March: Sakura

Sasuke is renowned for his brilliance and ambition, which were fostered by his upbringing in an environment that demanded him to be the greatest ninja in order to fulfill his dreams. Moreover, he possesses exceptional wit and intelligence, making him an incredibly astute ninja.
Characterized as introverted, Sasuke tends to internalize his feelings and struggles to articulate them effectively. In other words, when he does open up, his expressions often appear erratic and uncontrolled.
August: Tsunade

Naruto possesses a resemblance to Hashirama Senju in terms of his exuberance and refusal to follow conventions. His overwhelming emotions often lead him to overlook important details.

It is undeniable that Naruto is a unique and exceptional ninja. His abilities are truly unparalleled, setting him apart from any other individual. He stands as one of the most remarkable fictional characters ever created, possessing numerous admirable traits.

Hinata possesses a quiet, reserved demeanor and demonstrates thoughtfulness and good manners. She actively avoids engaging in competition or conflict and consistently exhibits kindness, a quality that Neji perceives as her vulnerability. It is possible that Hinata's lack of self-assurance stems from her father's disapproval. Nevertheless, she remains highly committed to completing her responsibilities.
