Fear

Each Naruto character fears something, not a fear of spiders or bugs and such, but rather, something more…. Intangible. I will start with team 7.

Naruto

Uzumaki Naruto is a generally happy go lucky kid who has insane amounts of luck, infinite determination, and is not afraid to beat his ideas into anyone who is not willing to listen.

Naruto is a Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, and as such also has the hatred of his village. He has little in worldly possessions and little to be proud of in general. But he still goes on, hammering his dream of being the greatest Hokage into everyone's heads.

Naruto has few friends. And even fewer see the kind, caring person that he is. He would gladly give his live if it meant protecting even one of them. He has never told anyone his secret because he fears that they would turn on him, and start looking at him with the same infinitely cold eyes that the villagers do.

Naruto fears REJECTION.

Sasuke

Uchiha Sasuke is the Last Uchiha. He lives to revenge his clan, who was massacred by Itachi. He does not care what he has to do, who he has to break, or who he has to go to, to obtain power.

Sasuke thrives on power. Power that he will use to avenge his clan. Sakura held his potential back. Therefore, he made her cry. Naruto threatened his position as best of the Rookies. Therefore, he tried to kill him. Obtaining the Mangekyou Sharingan just would've been a convenient side effect.

Itachi turned Sasuke's life upside down with the massacre. Sasuke no longer knew what would happen next.

Sasuke fears CHANGE

Sakura

Haruno Sakura is an average girl with a schoolgirl's crush; best friend turned rival, pink hair, and has become a shinobi. She has not had a particularly hard life, nor has she lost anyone important to her yet.

Sakura was bullied as a little girl for her large forehead, until a girl her age named Ino defended and accepted her, if only to separate and become bitter rivals later on.

She is disturbed that not only Sasuke, but also Naruto are far stronger than her. She feels that she is always watching their backs. Never equals, never ahead. In her later years, she works hard in an attempt to be worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as her former teammates.

The truth is, Sakura feels alone.

Sakura fears LONLINESS

Kakashi

Hatake Kakashi is a man who has had his world crumble right before him and survived to be a stronger, if somewhat less sane person. When he was a child, his father committed seppeku out of shame. His father told Kakashi that the mission was always more important than the team. The damage from that statement wasn't undone until many years later when his best friend Obito pushed him out of danger only to fall victim to the rock fall. Kakashi blames himself to this day and has sworn to always put his friends before the mission. His other teammate, Rin, later died due to Kakashi's misuse of his newly obtained Sharingan. Lastly, the second person he ever saw as a father, Namikaze Minato, gave his life to seal the Kyuubi no Kitsune into his own son to save the village.

This why Kakashi is always late. He always mourns at the Centograph for his world. That's the reason he sees ghosts when he looks at his genin cell. He got his sensei's son, Obito's last relative, and a girl than reminds him of Rin. And so he trains them the same way he was trained as a genin.

Hopefully Kakashi will see past the ghosts before it is too late.

Kakashi fears REPITITION


Author's Note

This is an attempt to analyze Teams 7's personalities and then sum up their fears in one general word. Tell me what you think. I'm thinking of writing something in a 20 truths format and I'm using this to gauge what people think of my… erm view. Yeah that's it.
