PART 1
Konohamaru usually hangs out with his two friends, Udon and Moegi. Together, they call themselves the "Konohamaru Ninja Squad" or "Konohamaru Corps" in the Japanese version. He and his teammates constantly try to sneak up on Naruto Uzumaki with poor variations of the Cloak of Invisibility Technique. Konohamaru's biggest influence is Naruto himself, looking up to him as a role model. At various points Naruto and Konohamaru appear to have common bonds between them, such as use of the perverted jutsu, determination, and a fiery attitude. Konohamaru ends many of his sentences with "kore", much like Naruto's "Dattebayo!" Konohamaru makes a few staggered appearances as Part I progresses, either trying to spend time with Naruto or simply trying to be helpful. After his grandfather's death, Konohamaru briefly loses interest in Naruto's guidance, feeling the restoration of the village to be more important. When Tsunade attempts to take on the position of Hokage, Konohamaru is unaccepting of her due to his opinion that she can't compare to his grandfather. After Tsunade demonstrates her strength and medical abilities for him, however, Konohamaru accepts her as the Third's successor. At the start of the series, Konohamaru feels unacknowledged due to his status as the Third Hokage's grandson, and is often recognized through that link. Although he had only recently begun to attend the Academy, he constantly attempted surprise attacks on his grandfather so he could defeat him and acquire the acknowledgment of the Hokage name. Though Ebisu, his tutor, tried to discourage this, it is only through Naruto's influence that Konohamaru realized that there would be no shortcuts to becoming Hokage. Instead, it is a dream that would take many years of hard work and discipline to realize. He makes his second appearance during the begining of the Chunin Exam arc where he and his classmates try to sneak up on Naruto, hidden in a stone like box. However they are quickly discovered. Later on they get into a quarrel with Sakura, and then again with the Sand Siblings, as Konohamaru bumps into Kankuro, only to be saved by Sasuke,Konohamaru in the fillers take place during a mission for the Konoha Genins have to be leader of a Ninja Academy students squad and Konhamaru, Moegi and Udon were assigned to Naruto. In the forest Naruto lost his team and Konohamaru and Moegi try to use the map but the same thing happen, Udon tries but because the compass was not pointing correctly due to the magnetic force of the forest, then he fainted from the compass spinning arrow. When the sunset come they were attacked, Naruto use the Sexy Jutsu to confuse the ninjas but don't work, then Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon use it at same time and work, but Shikamaru strike them with a part of a tree's trunk because he think their so fools. When a mighty storm begin all the teams were called to return but Naruto and his team stay in a cave all of they were hungry so Naruto cut a cheese in 3 parts and Udon ask why 3 and Naruto response with a memory of Kakashi's Survival Test. All of they go to the top of the mountain to win the objective of the mission, Shikamaru and Iruka go to search for them and the mountain rocks fall and crush Naruto but he use the Rasengan to break them. Then they go with Tsunade to confirm the mission completion.
PART 2
After the time skip, the Konohamaru Corps has become a Genin team under Ebisu. In the anime, Konohamaru and his team was given the same mission as Naruto's team when they first became. Konohamaru states that he will become the seventh Hokage and that Naruto would be the sixth. Konohamaru's scarf is even longer post-time skip, stretching at least several feet beyond his neck. When Naruto returns after his 3 years of training he introduces himself, by showing of his new and improved Sexy Jutsu, only to be told by Naruto that they are no longer children and should not use such techniques, only to reveal that he had improved it himself, and is almost about to use it, when he is smacked around by Sakura, in turn scaring Konohamaru and his friends.Konohamaru is shown with Team Ebisu when the enemy began attacking. He is told to escort people to safety and as Ebisu claims, it was his first A-rank mission, thus emulating Naruto once again, who also received an A-rank mission during an attack on the village.
He makes his next appearance after the defeat of Hidan and Kakuzu, where he demonstrates that he has been able to learn the shadow clone technique, albeit only with a single clone. He continues to add the sexy technique to it, first creating two naked women, which Sakura beats him up for, and then two naked males, for which Naruto beats him up. During the Akatsuki's invasion on Konoha, Konohamaru has been seen peeking out a corner, gasping for breath but looking no worse for wear. He witnesses Pain killing two Konoha ninja but is spotted by Pain. Ebisu jumps in giving Konohamaru a chance to escape. However, just before finishing of Ebisu, Pain is interrupted by Konohamaru who decides to fight him nonetheless. Pain charges in while Konohamaru braces himself and starts performing hand seals. At the beginning of the series was Konohamaru's only skills that of some poor cloaking techniques and an even poorer transformation skills. However after having met Naruto, he has at least perfected his transformation technique. During the time skip, when he and his team graduates and become Genin, it is implied that he is also taught the basic skills of tree climbing and walking on water using chakra control.
It is implied Konohamaru may have inherited his grandfather and uncle's talent, as he has also learned the rather difficult Shadow Clone Technique, further emulating Naruto. He demonstrates it with a smaller version of Naruto's Harem Technique, first transforming into two naked women, then transforming into Sasuke Uchiha (naked) and Sai (also naked).
Udon (ウドン, Udon) is the friend of Konohamaru and Moegi. He is in the Genin-team led by Ebisu. He seems to have a perpetually runny nose and seems to be very sleepy. Udon states many times that he loves math, as he is usually seen writing math problems during class. Udon idolizes Sasuke Uchiha, stating that if he was lucky enough he would be just like Sasuke. "Udon" is also a type of Japanese noodle.
Ranmaru (蘭丸, Ranmaru?) is a young orphan from Kirigakure. He is similar to Haku in many ways, in that he is an orphan, is loyal to one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and has an androgynous appearance and soft, almost feminine voice (In the English dub, he has a female voice actor), but he is never mistaken for a girl, in part due to the fact that "maru," a Japanese suffix for boys' names, is part of his name. Even though he is apparently paralyzed, his kekkei genkai gives him the ability to see through walls, cause illusions, and interfere with the Byakugan. He can also use some other vaguely defined powers relating to vision. This bloodline does not have a name yet mentioned, but when used, Ranmaru's eyes glow red for a moment. Ranmaru grew up with a sickly body, but the farmers living near him gave him food to eat. One day, he used his kekkei genkai, and accidentally revealed witnessing an injury that he otherwise could not have seen. The villagers realized that he was strange and stopped feeding him. Ranmaru became lonely, and resigned himself to starving to death. Not long afterward, Raiga arrived in the course of a mission, and was planning on killing Ranmaru, but Ranmaru revealed his ability and his perception of the sorrow within Raiga. Raiga then carried him on his back, allowing Ranmaru to see the outside world.Ranmaru is first introduced, spotting Rourusuke's party escaping from Katabame Kinzan for Raiga. Raiga and Ranmaru fight Naruto and Team Guy when they arrive to defeat the Kurosuki family. Raiga initially gains the advantage due to Ranmaru's abilities and his powerful lightning jutsu, but after Ranmaru is kncoked away from Raiga, Raiga becomes distraught over losing him, and Naruto knocks him off a cliff. Ranmaru then reveals his role and past to the Leaf ninja and asks to die. Naruto's group leaves him in a small shed on the mountain and take him back to the Curry of Life Shop after defeating the remaining Kurosuki family members.
Karashi takes Ranmaru on his back, and takes him to Raiga, who is not yet dead. Ranmaru revives him with his chakra, but passes out, seemingly dead, from doing so, causing Raiga to demand that Karashi bring him the Leaf genin. Tenten discovers that Ranmaru is alive, and takes him to a shed in the middle of a thunderstorm, trying to cool down his fever. While Ranmaru is willing to die, Tenten tells him that he does not deserve to decide that, as the people he helped Raiga kill could not make that decision. Ranmaru recovers his health, and becomes able to walk, after eating the Curry of Life and wishes for Raiga to eat it. Ranmaru accompanies Tenten, Sanshou and Karashi to the mountain where Neji, Lee and Naruto are fighting Raiga, feeding the wounded ninja the curry. Ranmaru returns to Raiga and using his mist, tries to trick him into walking over a cliff, in order to atone for his actions. The plan fails when Lee attacks and interrupts Raiga, and when Ranmaru attempts to convince Raiga to stop the battle, Raiga believes that Ranmaru has betrayed him. Naruto rises to protect Ranmaru, and punches Raiga off the cliff through successive attacks with shadow clones. Raiga realizes how Ranmaru could never be a truly free soul as long as he depended on him, and gives himself a funeral in one of his more coherent moments. As that arc comes to a close, Ranmaru becomes an apprentice at the Curry of Life shop.
Lock is supposedly the leader of Oogie's Boys, but does not think thoroughly and actually appears to be the least intelligent of the three. Lock wears a devil costume; his tail (real tail), his teeth are pointed sharply, his face is narrow and long-jawed, and his hair is formed into two horns making him, literally, a handsome devil. He loves being large and in charge, and gets upset when others insult him or take the lead. However, he goes along with others' ideas if he cannot come up with anything himself. without his mask he might not have horns but his handle bar style hair makes it look really close.
Shock is the most cunning and dangerous, and the only female of Oogie's minions. She has some contempt for the other two for their supposed stupidity. Shock wears a purple witch costume with an elongated hat. There is no difference between her mask and her face, other than the former's green color and lack of any features (except eye-holes and a nose). Her weapon is a broom. She also appears to have a great artistic talent in art with sculpting.
Barrel is Oogie's "star pupil," and mistakenly considered the most stupid of the three troublemakers, despite his protests to the contrary. He is the butt of many jokes made by his siblings but usually gets even through his own tricks at which he always gets away with. Barrel wears a skeleton costume and has deformed feet, but otherwise resembles a small human boy, albeit one with white skin, sunken eyes, and perfectly combed back green hair. His face is round and has a perpetual grin, except when he is angry. Barrel is usually the pilot of the walking bathtub the trio use as transport. He also unintentionally bothers Jack when asking him a number of annoying (and somewhat embarrassing) questions. He is very fond of sweets and attempts to make them all the time yet ends up setting something ranging from a towel to someone's hair, on fire or blowing up the kitchen. he also is highly allergic to cats.
JoJo McDodd, voiced by Jesse McCartney. JoJo is the Mayor's only son and the eldest of the mayor's children. Since he is the oldest, JoJo is next in line to become the Mayor of Whoville, though he doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps. He is afraid to speak because he is worried that he will disappoint his father. Because of this, he has not spoken in years. However, he is able to hear rhythmic patterns in just about anything around him. His undiscovered yet amazingly beautiful voice is a vital asset for the Whos' survival. He also shows a surprising talent for inventions. In fact, he turns the inside of Whoville's abandoned observatory into a mechanical music studio. After saving the town with his new found word, "YOPP", he begins speaking to his father and Horton.
