Naruto gave us incredible fights, layered characters, and a world that felt bigger than the story could hold. But along the way, it also dropped hints, built upmysteries, and then never fully delivered on them. Some of these loose ends could’ve reshaped the entire plot. Others were just small details that still linger in fans’ heads, years after the final chapter.
Naruto: 8 Fights With The Most Impressive Jutsu, Ranked
But let’s be honest. Naruto fansdon’tforget. We’re the kind of people who remember every panel that hinted at a secret Uchiha conspiracy or every throwaway line about the origins of chakra. And when something doesn’t add up, it sticks.
We hate nitpicking,but it’s about the characters who played a great role in the series, and yet were left as mysteries.These characters had more to say, but they got buried beneath wars and power scaling.
10What Exactly Was Kagami Uchiha’s Role in the Uchiha Legacy?
The Uchiha Nobody Who Might Have Changed Everything
Kagami Uchiha was a trusted ally of Tobirama Senju and supposedly an ancestor of Shisui Uchiha. That puts him in a critical timeline, right between Madara’s rebellion and the slow collapse of Uchiha trust in Konoha. But he’s barely shown.
10 Strongest Uchiha Clan Members In Naruto Universe, Ranked
Given the great power of the Uchiha clan, how do they rank above one another in the Naruto universe?
There’s no mention of how he died, how he helped shape Uchiha politics, or what made him different from the rest of the clan.For a series that loves its Uchiha lore, Kagami being nothing more than a footnote feels like a huge missed opportunity.
9How Did Danzo Get So Many Sharingan Without Immediate Consequences?
No One Blinked at an Armful of Stolen Eyes
Danzo is shady by design, but the fact that he managed to collectso manySharingan, without raising red flags from anyone in Konoha, is still hard to swallow. The Uchiha clan was under surveillance, and even after the massacre,you’d expect someone to question how the village’s sketchiest elder ended up with an arm full of stolen eyes.
Even stranger, Danzo never seemed to suffer any long-term side effects from using those eyes until his final fight. How? Why wasn’t this explored more?
8What Was the Deal With the Uzumaki Clan’s Sealing Techniques?
Sealing Masters With No Surviving Legacy
We know the Uzumaki were sealing masters, and their techniques were strong enough to scare other nations. But beyond that? Not much. We don’t know what made their fūinjutsu so special or how it tied into their longevity and chakra reserves. If they were that powerful, why was their village wiped out so easily? Why didn’t more of their knowledge survive?
Given how much sealing plays into Naruto’s story (Nine Tails, curse marks, reincarnation),it feels like the series barely scratched the surface of what the Uzumaki could do.
7What Was the Full Extent of Orochimaru’s Experiments?
Immortality, Clones, and a Whole Lot of Missing Context
We’ve seen some of Orochimaru’s experiments, like Yamato, the Sound Four, and Mitsuki, but the series never really goes into detail about how far it all went.We know he had underground labs in multiple countries and dabbled in immortality, cloning, and genetic manipulation.
So where are the other results? Were there failed Mitsuki prototypes? Did Orochimaru create any other Jinchuriki-like hosts? Some of this gets lightly touched inBoruto, but it still leaves too many blanks for someone who was obsessed with surpassing humanity.
6What Happened to the Other Jinchuriki’s Souls After Death?
Tailed Beasts Escaped, But Where Did the Hosts Go?
When a Jinchuriki dies, their tailed beast is freed, but what happens to the person’s soul? Naruto was the only Jinchuriki we saw survive separation. Gaara died and was brought back by Lady Chiyo’s jutsu, but others, like Roshi and Yugito, just vanished. Did they go to some kind of afterlife? Did they linger in the tailed beast’s memories?
Naruto: 10 Best Jinchuuriki, Ranked
From Naruto to Killer B, here are some of the best and strongest Jinchuuriki in Naruto.
The emotional connection between Jinchuriki and their Bijuu was a huge part of the story, but the final fates of most of them were never really explored.
5Why Did No One Question the Moon-Eye Plan Sooner?
A Moon-Sized Genjutsu Plan and Zero Early Suspects
Let’s be real. The Eye of the Moon Plan was insane from the start. Obito talked about it openly. Madara wrote about it on his creepy stone tablet. Zetsu basically screamed about it every chance he got. And somehow,nobodyfigured it out until it was too late.
Even characters like Itachi andKakashi, who were always five steps ahead, never connected the dots. Even Jiraya who spent a considerable number of years spying on the Akatsuki.For a plan that depended on projecting a genjutsu off the moon, it sure stayed under the radar longer than it should have.
4Who Were Jiraiya’s Other Students on Minato’s Team?
Minato Wasn’t Alone, So Where’s the Rest of His Squad?
We know Minato Namikaze trained underJiraiya. But when Jiraiya refers to training Minato’s team, he uses the plural form, implying Minato wasn’t alone. So who were the others? Why have they never been named, shown, or even acknowledged? And we’re damn sure the Ichiraku ramen guy wasn’t one of them.
Jiraiya’s students shaped the fate of the world, whether it was Nagato or Naruto. Leaving a major gap in Minato’s own squad feels like a glaring omission, especially considering how interconnected most teams are throughout the series.
3Who Trained the Ino-Shika-Cho Generation?
A Trio That Carried Tradition, Yet We Never Meet Their Mentor
Inoichi Yamanaka, Shikaku Nara, and Choza Akimichi were the core of one of Konoha’s most respected traditions, i.e.,ino-shika-cho formation. Their teamwork influenced three generations of shinobi. But we never learn who passed that down to them. Who trained them when they were kids? Who taught them formation tactics and clan fusion strategies?
They weren’t just background characters, they were key war advisors with deep connections to the Hokage and the village’s inner workings.Not exploring their teacher or origin story is a strange blind spot in a series that usually loves its legacy themes.
2What Happened to the Uzumaki Clan Survivors?
Scattered Bloodlines Without a Trace
We knowKushinasurvived the destruction of Uzushio. So did Karin, and a few other unnamed members. But where did the rest go? The series hints that they scattered across the world, but we never meet them. Given how powerful their bloodline is, you’d think more of them would show up, especially during the Fourth Great Ninja War or inBoruto.
Even just a throwaway scene with older Uzumaki survivors watching Naruto rise to power would’ve added emotional weight to his story. Instead,it’s a massive question mark in a series that spent hundreds of episodes building its world.
1Who Was Konohamaru’s Father?
Born Into Legacy, Raised Without One
Konohamaru was the Third Hokage’s grandson. That means someone raised him, trained him, and set him on the path to becoming a shinobi. But we never hear a single thing about his father. Not a name. Not a rank. Not even a photo. Did he die during the Nine Tails’ attack? Was he a shinobi who fell during a mission? Was he still alive but absent?
For a series that explored lineage so deeply, from Naruto and Minato to Sasuke and Fugaku, ignoring Konohamaru’s father entirely feels like a gap that could’ve added real emotional complexity to his character.
