My Favorite Character:
Uchiha Madara
My All-Time Favorite Character is Uchiha Madara. None can replace him in terms of being Overpowered, Showing Off, and many other things. I can keep going on. And my favorite moment is when he single-handedly fought the Shinobi alliance and was just playing with them when they were trying their best to fight against him.
And another part is when he asks the Kages from the Five Nation how many Susano they would like to fight and summons five or each one of them. OMGI went crazy by seeing this moment.
Tell me about your favorite character, I would love to know about it.
