WHO THE FUX IS IN TEH MIDDLE!??!

I think that's the school teacher - Naruto's first sensai. I can't remember his name though. He shows up a lot in the first few episodes of the anime, and then some more around the time of the advancement exams/leaf village invasion. At this point on Cartoon Network (don't judge me, dial-up and a light wallet limits my options) he's leading all the wee lil ninja through an evacuation "drill." Hmmm... I should learn to summarize better or something...

I don't think it is, no scar on the nose. I thought this was a crossover pic at first because I didn't recognize him at all.

I don't know if the lack of scar is that strong of an indicator. You could be correct, but the piece as a whole isn't very detailed or true to the original style. Look at Sakura for instance.

Yes, we know. We're trying to figure out who the guy is in this version.

the guy is sasuke. used to be one of naruto's teammates

Hmm. Hadn't thought of that. Doesn't he have long black hair, or have I been reading the manga for too long and not watching the show. hehe.

You might be thinking about Itachi, his brother. Or maybe Orochimaru, since he does have long blach hair.

comment #42601
Orochimaru has white skin and Sasuke's hair is black
I think that's a custom character, a crossover, or Iruka

Could be shikamaru :|

Could just be a really bad manip. I think it was supposed to be Sasuke but didn't quite work out.

The artist messed up his form that is why it turned out looking like Goku.

there's one with Jiraya too

Click the text labled "hidden" before posting.

Can someone shop the guy out and leave them yuri-style? ;)

What would Ino use for armrests then?

Put highres in your blacklist then. Or resize it for yourself.

SWEET

Or, it could just be the artist putting himself in with all those lovely ladies.

This would be better if there was no guy in it, its kinda gay to look at this picture because of him.

Oh wow I think that's the stupidest thing I've read ever.

it could just be some one the artist made up duh

I believe this was a commission for someone and the middle is an OC from the person who paid for this.

is that sasuke? o.O

certainly looks like sasuke in his older form.

It isn't Sasuke, it is the guy who commissioned the pic's edit. Or rather, his self-insert OC. That's all I know, I don't even know the name.

Nah...i really think it's Iruka-Sensei

When the subject does not strikingly resemble any character from the story.
Assume it is a glorified version of THE ARTIST.

Whoever the guy in the middle is supposed to be, he looks to me a lot like Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Where's Naruto? Isn't he suppose to be in this too?
