It seems with villains we all have our preferences. The ones I liked were Orochimaru just part 1 (part 2 he's a joke), Nagato and Tobi (Not Obito, just Tobi when he got serious).
@rocci A good story with a proper villain needs people to sympathize with that villain. That's what makes them good villains in the first place (that and other things of course). But the scale always needs to be balance out. We also need to sympathize with protagonist.
This is where Kishi screwed up, he introduced a bunch of villains, and all of them had their own back-story that made readers sympathize with them differently; and he forgot about Naruto. While over time we're introduced to Naruto's back-story it never truly changed from what was first introduced; not changed really, change is not the correct word I'm looking for. It didn't progress on the same level as he did with his villains.
