Basics of Naruto
For the starteriest of all starters, almost all of the main characters are a type of Asian fighter called ninja. These ninja all live in different villages that were built in varying biomes. The villages' names and physical appearance are based on the biomes that they're in. For example, Naruto's village, the Hidden Leaf Village, is located in a forest-like area, hence its name. Ninja also use abilities that are called jutsu and require chakra, a body-based energy, to work. Jutsu can range from healing allies to altering the terrain drastically. These jutsu are used commonly when ninja are in battle, but can also be used in everyday life.

Characters
The Detached - Sakura Haruno. Some fans criticize her for not really doing much except being a Support Character. She fights alongside her friends, but she never has an opportunity to show her independence. However, Sakura does make a vow that she won't be so borderline useless to her friends. She was right.

The Edge - Sasuke Uchiha. This guy's so edgy, he might've cut himself... on himself.

The Girl Who's Actually A Guy - Haku. With his mask on, it's pretty much a 50/50 split what his gender could be as his face is covered. But with it off, just about anyone who first lays eyes on him would be quick to say that he's a girl. But no.

The Lamb - Hinata Hyuga. The only one who truly liked Naruto throughout the entire series. Ever since she was a little baby, she had interest in him. Romantic interest. Eww.

The Mentor - Kakashi Hatake and Jiraiya. Kakashi was Naruto's first mentor, teaching him about the basics of the ninja world. Then Jiraiya taught Naruto more advanced topics like summoning and how to use Rasengan.

The Robust One - Choji Akimichi. Don't call him fat! No, seriously, don't do that — that's his Trigger Word. If you call him that, he'll let you know when you Done Goofed. Oh, how he will let you know. Great, now that's the THIRD F-word I can't say.

The Sinister - Gaara. The jinchuriki of Shukaku, the One-Tail Tailed Beast, Gaara has been shown to be soulless-like, barely showing any emotion, and never feeling sympathy for those he killed. He freaks the fuck out when he first feels pain in years, so that's a thing.

Misc.
Girl v Girl Rivalry - Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka. They both competed for Sasuke's affection when they're young, yet both agreed that they, along with almost everyone else in the Leaf Village, hated Naruto for being a jinchuriki among other reasons.

I've Got A Demon In My Soul - Jinchuriki. Jinchuriki are people who carry Tailed Beasts inside them. They may be shunned by society and forced to isolate themselves, like Naruto, or are used primarily as a force to be reckoned with, like Gaara.

The Title Warned Us - The anime and manga have been named after their hero, Naruto Uzumaki.
