I'm only just getting into it as a friend bugged my into it. My favourite character would be Kakashi, but I hate Naruto sooo much I'd love to punch him. He's loud, noisy and stupid and he just annoys me with his ramen thing...
I like Itachi too, I saw a random episode (skipped ahead a bit by accident) of him and Kakashi fighting using the Sharingan. Hahaha he whooped Kakashi...
