However, there are some popular characters that fans love, but actually rarely appear!
Who are they? Here are eight of them!
1. Itachi Uchiha
Actually, Itachi doesn’t appear that often in the series Narutohe usually appears in scenes that are always in conflict.

2. Jiraiya
Just like Itachi, Jiraiya actually rarely appears too, he appears at the end Naruto to train Naruto, the training scene was not shown in full.
He appeared again in Shippuden when he returned Naruto and disappeared again, until finally his death while fighting Pain.
Even though he rarely appears, Jiraiya has great characteristics and impact on the Naruto story, of course he is popular.
3. Shisui Uchiha
Shisui Uchiha was Itachi’s Uchiha friend who died, even before the Uchiha clan was wiped out by Itachi.
So far Shisui has only appeared via flashback but the impact of Shisui and his eyes is still influential after his death, which is why Shisui is very popular.
4. Sakumo Hatake
Sakumo Hatake is the father of Kakashi Hatake, where Sakumo was a strong Konoha ninja and became a Konoha hero with the nickname White Fang.
However, he ended his life after being bullied because his mission failed when he chose to help his friend.
Sakumo is popular because there is still a lot that is mysterious about Sakumo, but of course its appearance is very, very minimal.
5. Kimimaro
Kimimaro has a cool appearance and powers by manipulating his bones, the last member of the extinct Kaguya clan.
Of course Kimimaro is also one of the popular Oto ninja and Orochimaru’s subordinates, but he only appears briefly.
He appeared when he helped the Oto ninja to bring Sasuke to Orochimaru, he died in the same conflict, appeared in Jugo’s flashback, then was resurrected Edo Tenseiand even then he is rarely shown again when he is finished Edo Tensei.
6. Tobirama Senju
Tobirama is Hokage The second one whose presence is quite in the shadow of his older brother, but Tobirama is also popular.
Of course Tobirama also rarely appears, apart from flashbacks, Tobirama appears in form Edo Tensei twice, during the invasion of Konoha by Orochimaru and during the Fourth Ninja World War.
However, Tobirama also had an important role during the Fourth Ninja World War to help Naruto fight Obito and Madara.
7. Pain
Believe it or not, Pain (Yahiko’s corpse) is much more popular than the figure behind it, Nagato.
Pain is a strong and frightening figure of the Akatsuki leader, with a quite eccentric appearance who uses a black stick stabbed in his face and body so that Nagato can move Yahiko’s body.
Of course Pain is very popular, but his appearances are few, before he appeared against Jiraiya, Pain was only shown as a silhouette and rarely appeared compared to other Akatsuki.
8. Might Guy
Mght Guy was previously always shown as a comedy character whose appearances were actually rare.
In fact, several times Might Guy was late in coming to the conflict, such as being late in helping Sasuke from Itachi (whom Guy kicked instead Jiraiya) or being late in coming to Konoha to help in Pain’s invasion.
Even so, Guy is popular thanks to his fight against Madara, where a character who usually only appears as a comedy character turns out to be super strong.
