Sasuke vs. Kaguya: Who Is Stronger & Who Would Win in a Fight?

As you probably know by now, the worlds of Naruto and Boruto have provided us with a series of brilliant fights that became – some of them, at least – trademark moments of the whole show. Now, some of these fights are interesting enough for us to discuss them here, and in this article, we have chosen to talk about a match-up that did actually happen, but not in the exact way as we are going to portray it. Namely, in this article, we will talk about a duel between Sasuke Uchiha and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, a fight that did happen in the series, but Sasuke wasn’t alone when he was fighting the Ōtsutsuki queen. You’re going to find out who would win.

Despite all of Sasuke’s skills, he would not be able to defeat Kaguya Ōtsutsuki in a one-on-one fight. Sasuke was able to overpower Kaguya Ōtsutsuki along with Naruto and Sakura, sealing her away, but never actually defeating her properly or killing her. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is one of the most powerful characters in the whole series, and there is no doubt that she would be able to defeat Kaguya Ōtsutsuki in a direct clash.

The rest of this article will further elaborate on the above-given answer, as we will compare Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Sasuke Uchiha in more detail. Through several categories, you will see who the stronger of the two is and why our answer is like it is, i.e., why Kaguya would ultimately be able to defeat Sasuke in a direct fight.

Chakra and physical powers

Sasuke possesses large amounts of Chakra, being able to perform a strong Fire Release technique at a young age. In the second part, his Chakra levels increased tremendously, summoning a giant snake-like Manda and using Chidori multiple times in a single day, a big change considering that he could only perform it twice a day before.

Kaguya got unmatched chakra stores and strength by eating the fruit of the Divine Tree, which Naruto and Sasuke alluded to as being superior to Madara’s and called Jubi’s Jinchuriki. In the anime, all it took for Hamura to be defeated was for him just to unleash his chakra. She is the first to use chakra. Hence she is able to absorb whatever skills she comes across.

When Kaguya comes into contact with an enemy, she can use the Temporary Paralysis Technique and Chakra Absorption Techniques. Thanks to her connection to the Divine Tree, she obtains power by regaining the chakra of the Infinite Tsukuyomi victims through the Divine Birth of the World Tree. Kaguya demonstrated some skill in unarmed combat by deftly deflecting many blows from Naruto’s clones.

She can also react rapidly to avoid attacks like Chidori paired with Sasuke’s Amenotejikara, albeit she first had to shift size. She appeared in front of Sakura Haruno in the blink of an eye. Kaguya, who declares to be immortal, can instantly restore any lost anatomy, including severed limbs. The Senpo also struck her – Mega Orb Demonic Shuriken. However, she only suffered minor injuries.

We cannot deny that Sasuke’s chakra reserves are both plentiful and strong, but Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is simply too powerful for him in this category; heck, individually, she is among the best in the whole series, and that is why she wins this point.

Points: Sasuke 0, Kaguya 1

Ninjutsu

Sasuke demonstrates his great skill in controlling fire jutsu, which is common in the Uchiha Clan. At the age of 7, he had already mastered the complicated Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique and possibly the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique. He later invented the Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique, even for such a feat which, according to him, Genin normally requires much more experience and chakra developing elemental fire techniques.

Kaguya is able to use both the Inyoton and the five chakra natures due to her complete control of the chakra. She can swing and capture her opponents on the battlefield using her incredibly long hair as a weapon. She can summon people and actualize her will as well.

Keeping it short and sweet, we can only confirm that Kaguya wins this category as well because, thanks to her Chakra, she is able to use all elemental nature powers and thus surpasses Sasuke in both quality and quantity.

Dōjutsu

With the basic Sharingan, he managed to save himself from Itachi’s Tsukuyomi to dialogue with the Fox in Naruto’s mind and to subdue the king of gods. Manda snakes. With the hypnotic Sharingan, he could immobilize Killer Bee, some samurai, and Shi, as well as create an illusion similar to his brother’s technique with which he distracted Danzo. After obtaining the Rinnegan, Sasuke’s ability in genjutsu increases to the point of subduing all nine hunters with a single glance. Like all Uchiha, he has a natural predisposition for the fire-type chakra, learning the supreme fireball technique at the age of seven, and later also learns how to use the lightning-type chakra, learning from Kakashi the Chidori and creating numerous variations.

With the exception of a blind spot on the back of her neck at the level of the first thoracic vertebra, Kaguya can see nearly 360 degrees when she uses the Byakugan in both of her eyes. She can also see the chakra circulatory system thanks to her talent. She makes it clear that her Byakugan is significantly more potent than that of her younger son Hamura. She saw the collected chakra in their hands and circulatory systems with her Byakugan and determined that Naruto and Sasuke had the same chakra as her sons and Hagoromo’s children. Kaguya can identify an opponent’s weak places and accurately puncture them with her hair in order to render them absolutely immobile.

Kaguya is able to utilize her Rinne Sharingan as a third eye on the top of her head. It is red in hue and has nine tomoe in addition to multiple concentric rings. Together with other skills he uses, his third eye gives him the Sharingan’s powers, including the ability to perceive chakra flow, cast and recognize genjutsu with ease, and enhanced perceptual abilities. Kaguya could perform Tsukuyomi Infinite and immediately relocate herself and those close to her to another realm while also erasing their chakra presence using the Rinne Sharingan’s ability.

Kaguya can also open rifts in space-time and use them to travel between them quickly. The majority of the populace is turned into White Zetsu by Kaguya, who can manipulate the Divine Tree’s roots to enclose those caught in her Infinite Tsukuyomi, eventually robbing them of their uniqueness, personality, and features. Kaguya may also quickly absorb the chakra of everyone connected to the Divine Tree to increase her power.

This is likewise a category where Kaguya is able to surpass Sasuke, simply because her Dōjutsu are far more powerful than Sasuke’s and because she would ultimately be able to defeat him using them.

Other skills

Although not his favorite combat style, Sasuke’s taijutsu skills were quite high from the beginning of the series. This was first demonstrated in the rattles test with Kakashi, who was so surprised that he couldn’t even read the Icha Icha paradise while he was fending off the attacks. After mastering the training in the trees, he engaged Haku in a taijutsu match, easily outpacing him and blocking his attacks, forcing the masked man to use the ice crystals. His abilities drastically improved after his first encounter with Rock Lee.

Kaguya possesses various special skills, some of which are older than those depicted in the anime and are significantly more lethal. Kaguya’s Eighty Gods’ Void Strike enables her to summon enormous chakra fists that are strong enough to easily defeat a jinchūriki’s chakra arms and a Full Body – Chakra Susanoo’s Hermit Rikudô. This method can be applied defensively as well. Susanoo, the “ultimate defense,” can be pierced by her hardening her long hair into an endless stream of needles.

We used this rather random category to show how diverse Kaguya’s skills are. Regarding all the other skills and abilities, Kaguya definitely surpasses Sasuke and wins the final point as well.

Sasuke Uchiha vs. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki: Who wins?

The points are completely clear on this one, and we have really nothing to add in this aspect. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is one of the most powerful characters in the series and it took the combined forces of Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura to simply seal her away; not defeat her, not kill her – just seal her away (seemingly indefinitely). If the three of them managed to only seal her away, there is no chance that Sasuke – completely alone – would be able to beat Kaguya.
