Naruto Characters Who Hate Sasuke The Most

Key Takeaways

• Sai struggled to bond with Naruto due to his past, but eventually became a genuine friend.
• Kaguya despised both Naruto and Sasuke for their power to seal her and fought hard to avoid it.
• Deidara hated the Uchiha brothers for wielding the Sharingan, which he viewed as a sign of superiority.

Naruto is one of the most beloved shonen anime that fans can’t stop raving about to this day. At its best, the series was a magical display of how good world-building, believable character writing, and engrossing fights could elevate a series.

The titular character’s rival, Sasuke, is a ninja consumed by hatred who struggles to overcome his desires for revenge after being wronged by people time and time again. While he eventually reconciles with Naruto and becomes a valuable agent to the Leaf, some characters will always find it hard to accept him, given what he did in the past.

1 Sai

Hate Is A Strong Word, But Sai Was Puzzled By Naruto’s Feelings Toward A Person Who Betrayed Him

• Debut: Return of the Kazekage (Episode 32 of Naruto Shippuden)

It’s hard to like Sai when he’s introduced as a rude, unfeeling agent who has no problems cussing out his friends. What makes it harder for him to bond with Naruto is the protagonist’s obsession with saving a person who doesn’t care for him at all.

By the end of this mission, Sai learns to enjoy the small things in life and becomes a genuine friend to Naruto, Sakura, and the others. However, this newfound benevolence does not extend to a rogue ninja who has been a thorn in the Leaf Village’s side for years.

2 Kaguya Otsutsuki

Hated Both Sasuke And Naruto For Having The Power To Seal Her

• Debut: Truth (Episode 458 of Naruto Shippuden)

After appearing out of nowhere and establishing herself as the true villain of Naruto, Kaguya didn’t have a lot of time to display a personality of her own. One thing that was clear from the get-go was that she hated both Naruto and Sasuke since she could see her rebellious sons in them.

She did not want to put herself in a position where she could be sealed and fought as hard as possible to avoid this fate. However, after Team 7 reunites and teams up to beat her down, fans are treated to a magical moment where they combine their attacks to seal Kaguya for good.

3 Momoshiki Otsutsuki

Isn’t A Huge Fan Of The Rinnegan Being Used By Someone Outside Of The Otsutsuki Clan

• Debut: Boruto: Naruto the Movie

The Rinnegan is sacred to the Otsutsuki clan, and seeing it in the hands of another is frustrating for them. This is why Momoshiki can’t help but lash out when he sees an outsider wielding the power of this powerful dojutsu.

Sasuke could easily throw a wrench in his plans, and he tries his hardest to kill off the Uchiha before any complications could arise. However, he fails and ultimately falls to the combined might of Naruto and Sasuke after an epic battle.

4 Omoi

Hates Sasuke For Endangering Killer B

• Debut: Surpassing the Master (Episode 156 of Naruto Shippuden)

Sasuke made an enemy of Kumogakure after kidnapping Killer B. This didn’t sit right with his closest friends, with Omoi being a member of the Raikage’s squad who wanted to put Sasuke down by any means necessary.

His utter disdain for the rogue ninja can be seen whenever he gets worked up after hearing his name. Sasuke may have turned over a new leaf, but that won’t be enough to wipe the memories of the time when Killer B’s friends thought he was dead.

5 Karui

Despised Sasuke So Much That She Beat Naruto To A Pulp When He Didn’t Sell Out His Friend

• Debut: Surpassing the Master (Episode 156 of Naruto Shippuden)

A member of Team Samui who was close to Killer B, Karui wastes no time in showing just how much she hates Sasuke. She takes out her frustrations on Naruto, who refuses to sell out his friend and chooses to take a beating without any retaliation.

It’s a brutal scene and one that shows the lengths Naruto will go to shield Sasuke from the hate that was directed his way. He wanted to save his friend no matter what, and there was no way he would do something as low as revealing sensitive information about Sasuke to someone who wanted to hunt down and kill him.

6 Danzo Shimura

Did Not Care For The Uchiha And Hated That One Of Its Surviving Members Would End His Legacy

• Debut: Return of the Kazekage (Episode 32 of Naruto Shippuden)

Danzo is one of the most villainous characters who is responsible for all the hateful actions that caused immense strife for most of the series’ main characters. Watching him finally get his comeuppance against Sasuke is one of the most satisfying moments in the series.

He hated any imperfection in his plan, with Sasuke being a glaring example of the consequences he had to face for not annihilating the Uchiha. His mistakes came back to haunt him and led to his death at the hands of a man who wanted to seek revenge on the Leaf Village for forcing his brother down a torturous path.

7 Deidara

The Sharingan Scared Him To Death, Which Is Why He Hated The Uchiha Brothers So Much

• Debut: The Akatsuki Makes Its Move (Episode 2 of Naruto Shippuden)

Deidara is one of the most entertaining members of the Akatsuki, using chakra-infused clay to cause devastating explosions. He was an individual with immense power who won against Gaara and almost killed Sasuke in a powerful Hail Mary attack.

Deidara hated the Sharingan and the Uchiha brothers who wielded it, yelling out his frustrations numerous times during his fight against Sasuke. He always felt that the bearer of these eyes looked down on him as an inferior being, causing him to develop a deep-rooted hatred for anyone who used this dojutsu. Sasuke was no exception.

8 A

The Raikage Lost His Arm And Assumed That Killer B Was Dead Because Of Sasuke

• Debut: Sombre News (Episode 152 of Naruto Shippuden)

The Fourth Raikage is one of the strongest characters in the show, which is why his fight against Sasuke showed just how powerful the Mangekyo Sharingan could be. Combining Amaterasu with the Susanoo made it seem like the Uchiha had a perfect defense.

However, A’s hatred for Sasuke kidnapping his brother was so deep that he didn’t care about losing an arm. He landed a powerful blow on Sasuke and amputated his arm immediately, showing that he was willing to stop at nothing to take out the villain who hurt his family.
