According to Kawaki, he is much stronger than Delta or Boro. Even in Amado’s words, his warlike potential surpassed that of Jigen, being so powerful that a limiter was put on him to contain him so as not to destabilize the true leader’s control.

6. Jigen

Jigen was a novice monk who had his entire body controlled by Isshiki Ōtsutsuki, functioning as his vessel. In his past, Jigen was an ordinary human without any special qualities, possessing a body too weak to function as a vessel for an Ōtsutsuki. However, after being controlled by Isshiki and receiving a series of modifications with Ninja Scientific Tools by Amado, Jigen increased his power to immeasurable levels, being considered completely monstrous in terms of abilities.

Under Isshiki’s control, Jigen’s body was incredibly resilient, as he took a kick from Naruto in Six Paths Sage Mode to the jaw without sustaining any injuries. He had great speed and physical strength, kicking Naruto long distances with ease, impressing the Hokage.

Jigen obtained his Karma in the form of a black diamond on his chin after being completely controlled by Isshiki, with the intention of using it to revive. However, Jigen’s body was not able to withstand his full power so Isshiki was only capable of unfolding a fraction of its full potential.

During her battle against Sakura, he was able to stand his ground against her and hurt her to the point of being exhausted after Sasuke’s intervention.

Shin possessed a unique genetic makeup that allowed him to fully accept any genetic material, be it tissue, organs, or entire limbs, without the ability to reject it, allowing him to fully integrate it into his being. This allowed Shin to make use of any genetic modification to its full potential.

According to Orochimaru, it was precisely this ability that facilitated the creation of clones as permanent entities separate from himself. These clones apparently possess the same genetic modifications that Shin underwent.

Although the full extent of his abilities is unknown, Isshiki’s power was so great that Jigen’s body was unable to fully contain him, thus limiting the amount of power he could wield, stating that Kawaki’s body was the one indicated. Despite this, using his body along with Karma, he was able to defeat both Naruto and Sasuke, who were using his full power.

According to Kawaki, Isshiki’s power was comparable to that of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto. However, Koji felt that the Hokage would not be able to defeat him if the skills and strength he used against Delta were the full extents of his power. Likewise, Sasuke felt nervous witnessing a display of Isshiki’s power, considering the inevitable conflict against him to be far more dangerous, opting to retreat rather than face him.

For her part, Ino Yamanaka was terrified as she felt Isshiki’s chakra nearly collapse, describing it as incredibly sinister. He possessed good senses being able to notice the presence of Koji’s toad, which even Naruto did not notice. On the other hand, he was able to levitate and absorb chakra, plus he seemed to have knowledge in fūinjutsu, as he successfully sealed Naruto and Kurama.
