30 Strongest Naruto Characters Ranked from Worst to Best

Naruto is one of the most successful anime series of all time, which a lot of people around the world know. 90s kids have grown up watching this series, and a lot of them stayed with Naruto until he saved the world and attained the dream of becoming Hokage. As a result, Naruto’s journey has left us with a lot of memories, as well as a lot of notable characters for both their character and abilities. That’s why I decided to list down the strongest Naruto characters.

Also, to make sure that the prime level of Naruto is going to be discussed in this article, I only included characters from Naruto and Naruto Shippuuden to avoid confusion. This also ensures that no one got nerfed, as seen with how some characters in Naruto have gotten a bit weaker in Boruto. Take note that this list is based on my observation as I watched the entire anime and manga series. That means your opinion might differ after reading my list. But anyway, here are the strongest characters in Naruto.

30. Hoshigaki Kisame

Kisame may look like he is some sort of a brute compared to Itachi, but he is a smart person when in combat or missions. He is an expert in the Water-Style genjutsu, capable of creating a massive lake on land, creating shark-shaped water bombs of any size to attack the enemy, as well as creating a massive dome of water to trap his enemies.

He is the wielder of Samehada, a sentient blade that cuts, but actually “shaves” due to its numerous jagged edges. It also can absorb chakra from others, and then transfers it to Kisame’s already huge reserve. And speaking of chakra reserves, Kisame’s innate amount of massive chakra gave him the title “The Tailed Beast Without a Tail”. 

To make him more badass, no one defeated him, even Guy himself. He committed suicide by summoning sharks while trapping himself and them inside a water bubble. This was done to prevent information about the war from being leaked inside the turtle island Naruto and Killer B were in. But before killing himself, he displayed monstrous strength by destroying his restraints.

Even though we have ranked Hoshigaki Kisame as the last on our list of the strongest Naruto characters, he is still a very formidable opponent.

29. A (Fourth Raikage)

A is the tag team nickname for the Raikage, which has been a tradition in the Hidden Cloud Village while having a compatible partner that will be nicknamed B. A is one of the most powerful characters in the whole Naruto series because of his raw strength, and the appearance that made him look like a massive wrestler.

Matching his appearance, A’s fighting style focuses on wrestling moves, with one of his signature techniques being a Lariat. But that’s not it, A has a massive chakra supply that makes him capable of utilizing his Lightning Style ninjutsu to its fullest. 

A’s usage of his Nature Release focuses on covering himself with lightning to create extremely tough armor. The armor is so tough, that it only takes the never-ending burn of the Amaterasu to decapitate his arm. His Lightning Release Armor also augments his speed to become as fast as lightning, and even sharpens his own hands just like how Kakashi sharpens his own with Raikiri. 

You will know things are getting serious once his hair becomes somewhat spiky, showing that his Lighting Release has increased its voltage!

28. Tsunade

Tsunade is known for the diamond-shaped seal on her forehead – the Strength Of A Hundred Seal. This seal of hers is the pinnacle of chakra control, where all of her chakras are focused on a single point for several years. This accumulated chakra is then sealed so then she can release all of it, or at least a part of it, at any given time together with her chakra reserves.

As a result, Tsunade can focus all her strength on her fists to land a punch that can cause massive damage to a person or a huge area around her. It also helped her retain a Transformation Technique that makes her young (and curvaceous) enough to mask her aged appearance. 

As the master medical ninja, the Fifth Hokage is a specialist in all medical ninjutsu, making her extremely knowledgeable enough to save Chouji from death in Part 1. This, along with her seal, grants her the ability to regenerate almost instantly when injured. Along with that, she also has Uzumaki bloodline through her grandmother, which could also be the reason why she also survived getting her upper and lower body split by Madara, while being able to summon her slug Katsuyu at the same time to repair her body.

27. Onoki

Onoki is the Third Tsuchikage of the Hidden Stone Village. He is a master of Earth Style genjutsu, capable of creating different kinds of earthen weapons and entities with it. He can make sentient rock golems to help him fight, and can even conjure fists to augment his strength, which is strong enough to despite his age.

He also uses a unique Earth Style genjutsu that helps him add or lessen the weight of things and beings. He uses it on his allies or himself to become light enough to be able to fly. He used this technique to minimize the damage of the meteor that Madara dropped on the Alliance.

Due to his Kekkei Genkai, he can mix Earth and Fire Release, making him capable of using the Lava Release (which was shown in a Naruto novel), and use Kekkei Tota to mix Earth Release with Fire and Wind to create the Dust Release. This is the most powerful genjutsu of Onoki, which lets him encase his enemies in a cube or any 3-D shape, and then disintegrate them to dust with a blinding light.

26. Mu

Mu is the Second Tsuchikage and the master of Onoki. This cunning individual is just as sinister-looking as his own set of abilities and characteristics. He is called the Non-Person because of his ability to never leave any physical form or chakra trace. It’s all thanks to his ability to turn invisible. He is also one of the most powerful sensor ninjas in history, capable of noticing unique chakra signatures even from a populous area, as well as using it to evade techniques that seem impossible to dodge.

Mu also can split into two to escape certain situations but at the cost of halving his power. He also can use Dust Release at the same level as Onoki, as well as lighten his weight to fly.

25. Gengetsu Hozuki

Gengetsu is the Second Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, who was killed by Mu, who also died at the same time. Gengetsu’s appearance that makes him look like a Japanese gang leader makes him perfect as a leader of a village with a violent history. His abilities are so powerful that some of the Allied forces are still getting caught in his ninjutsu despite him instructing them to be careful.

His Fire Release can make him shoot a bullet of fire, while his Water Release can make him turn to liquid (a signature technique of his clan) and generate bubbles that are fast enough to strike enemies. He also can create a clone of him made of water and oil. The clone then balloons with steam and explodes to damage a large vicinity. After that, it creates hail through the water vapor that went up in the air to recreate the clone, causing an infinite loop of explosions. 

Lastly, he can summon a giant clam that creates a mist, which he combines with his Yin Release to make mirages through genjutsu.

24. Kakashi Hatake

Kakashi is the Copy Ninja of the Leaf Village, thanks to the Sharingan that he got from Obito, as well as the Sixth Hokage after the war, and the leader of Team 7. This grants him all of the abilities of the Sharingan, such as the ability to read chakra, as well as enhanced vision to read fast movements and hand seals.

Kakashi is an extremely talented ninja, with a high level of intelligence and fighting abilities that made him famous across different nations and was deemed dangerous by Pain himself. Kakashi’s talents are further evidenced by his quick rise into Jonin and ANBU at such a young age. His abilities as a leader, and his good character which made him a good friend and teacher, made him vital for the defeat of Kaguya.

Despite his average chakra reserves, he has the intelligence to strike at the right time. His signature genjutsu is the Raikiri – which makes his hand as sharp as a blade through Lightning Release. He also has a high talent for taijutsu and using weapons such as swords. 

Aside from all of these, he also learned how to use his Mangekyo Sharingan, which gives him the ability to transport objects and people into a pocket dimension called Kamui. He also learned its short-range variant to let attacks pass through him. And yes, he learned how to use Susanoo instantly when Obito let Kakashi borrow his eyes to defeat Kaguya!

If he had higher chakra reserves, he would certainly be higher on our list of the strongest Naruto characters.

23. Hiruzen Sarutobi

Hiruzen Sarutobi is the Third Hokage of the Leaf Village. He is regarded as The Professor due to his knowledge of hundreds of genjutsu. He is one of the few characters who can use all five nature releases and is a master of taijutsu and weapons. He can summon Enma, who can turn into a pole that’s as hard as diamond, which he can use for a wide variety of attacks. 

He is also one of the few who is capable of using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, which summons the Shinigami to seal his opponents, as well as himself inside the belly of the Shinigami, which he can also use through his shadow clones, making him a very deadly opponent whether winning or losing.

22. A (Third Raikage)

The Third Raikage is known in his village as The Strongest Shield due to its immense durability. If the Fourth Raikage looked like a wrestler, this one looks like a massive berserker. He has monstrous raw strength, which made him capable of fighting the Eight-Tailed Beast one-on-one, which he sets as a rule when it goes on a rampage again, rather than letting his men do it.

He also has augmented defense through his Lightning Release Armor, which is way stronger than the Fourth Raikage’s. His defense and offense with the technique are so immense, that the only way to harm him is if he accidentally pierces his body with his finger sharpened further by the armor.

21. Shisui Uchiha

Despite being dead in the series even before it started, his background easily made him a fan favorite. Shisui is the best friend of Itachi Uchiha and is at the same level of genjutsu mastery as Itachi. He is also one of the most talented ninjas of the Uchiha clan and is known as Shishui of the Body Flicker due to his usage of it that lets him leave multiple after-images of himself.

Shisui is also a master of the Mangekyo Sharingan, making him capable of using a genjutsu of the highest level called Kotoamatsukami. This places a person in a genjutsu so powerful that the target will believe what is manipulated in their mind with the command placed on the genjutsu is really what he needs to act on. If it were not for Danzo, he would have used it on the entire clan to make them abandon their planned coup.

Also, he has a Susanoo that grants him superior defense, as well as releases a barrage of needles to hit multiple opponents with blinding speed.

20. Killer B

Killer B is the tag team partner of the Fourth Raikage, as well as the Jinchuuriki of the Eight-Tailed Beast. He is the very first person who has mastered control over his Tailed Beast, which he might have done through his character. He is a very calm rapper who seems to go easy on any situation he’s into, which might be the reason why the Eight-Tailed Beast just gave up and decided to make friends with him.

In terms of strength, Killer B is a very powerful individual who can also use Lightning Release to sharpen his attacks or boost his speed. He is also a master of using eight swords at the same time through his unorthodox style, making him overpower Sasuke and his group, Kara, with almost no effort.

He may act dumb but is smart enough to back out of a battle if he thinks it’s getting too dangerous for his good. Lastly, his mastery of controlling his Tailed Beast granted him the ability to shroud himself in a Tailed Beast Cloak, turn into its Version 2. And of course, he can transform his partially or fully into the Eight-Tails itself, which can create a devastating Tailed Beast Bomb, as well as a massive size and power.

19. Orochimaru

Orochimaru was first seen as a powerful villain of the series, to the point where some fans thought that he is the main antagonist of the whole series. He has a very sinister appearance that resembles a snake, which makes his character and abilities themed after the animal. He can summon a snake, has a long tongue like a snake, elongates his body to become as long as a snake, use snakes to put his body together, sheds like a snake as a type of Body Replacement Jutsu, and turns into a snake.

Orochimaru is a master of several jutsus due to his conquest to master all jutsus in the world. As a result, he has altered his body heavily to the point where his normal form is not his true form, but a snake-like creature with scales composed of smaller white snakes. He also can transfer his body into someone else to retain his immortality. But after getting a White Zetsu, it seems that he has mastered immortality further due to the Hashirama cells gaining him a wide variety of new abilities, as well as Wood Release.

18. Jiraiya

Jiraiya is one of the Legendary Sannin, along with Tsunade and Orochimaru, and was a candidate as Hokage, but kept on refusing the title. He is also the master of Naruto Uzumaki and the Fourth Hokage. Jiraiya has large chakra reserves that make him capable of summoning the strongest toads such as Gamabunta. He may not be a master of Sage Mode but is proficient in using it to overpower 3 of Pain’s Six Paths.

He is also an expert in ninjutsu, which he uses to elongate his hair to attack or restrain enemies, as well as protect himself. He is also a user of the Rasengan and even taught Naruto how to use and enlarge it, which caused Naruto to create different Rasengan variants in the future. 

He is also good at gathering intelligence and is a shrewd combatant. He is also shown to be extremely durable enough to at least leave a message to Fukusaku for him to relay over to Konoha before he got killed by Pain.

17. Kabuto Yakushi

The Kabuto Yakushi that I want to explain here is the one that has attained Sage Mode. This form of his is what made him very formidable as an opponent, and some even noted that he is similar to Orochimaru already. This form of his is Orochimaru that got obsessed with altering himself and due to the greed of attaining several jutsus all for himself.

Kabuto is capable of using Nature Energy to sense enemies easier, as well as strengthen his techniques. He can also get out of his body when damaged or trapped, just like Orochimaru. Kabuto is also capable of conjuring the Sound 4, Kimimaro, and even Orochimaru by manifesting their bodies thanks to DNA manipulation. That way, he can use their signature techniques. 

He also gained immunity against the Mangekyo Sharingan’s genjutsu through a lid on his eyes that helps him get protected like how a snake’s

16. Izuna Uchiha

Izuna is the younger brother of Madara and is also the one who first unlocked and discovered the Mangekyo Sharingan. Most of his techniques were never revealed in the series. But he is known to have led the Uchiha clan during the Warring States Period alongside his brother, just like how Hashirama and Tobirama Senju led their clan together.

As one of the first users of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Izuna must have a huge potential that made him a good match against the Second Hokage, who is a master of speed. However, he is proven to be no match against the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Even though Izuna is formidable, he is no match for his older brother Madara, which you will find a bit higher on our list of the strongest Naruto characters.

15. Minato Namikaze

Minato is the Fourth Hokage and the father of the protagonist Naruto. He is known to be Konoha’s Yellow Flash, who has gained a worldwide reputation that’s enough to fear even the other mighty ninja villages. This is further evidenced by his mastery of using Tobirama Senju’s Flying Thunder God Technique, which he uses as his main fighting style. 

His reflexes in using the technique, which makes him move normally while teleporting, made him a formidable opponent when fighting one or a lot of enemies. He is also known to have wiped out thousands of enemies, forcing Onoki to form a peace treaty with Konoha to stop the war. 

From childhood to adulthood, a lot of renowned ninjas regarded him as a genius. If you watch his fight scenes, you will realize that he is a genius and a total badass. He also invented the Rasengan and is one of the few users of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, which he used to seal the Nine-Tailed Beast into him and his son. Also, unlike most characters in the list, Minato did not come from a prestigious clan, nor had any Kekkei Genkai jutsus, just pure outstanding talent!

14. Tobirama Senju

Tobirama is the Second Hokage, making him one of the most powerful characters in the whole series. Tobirama is also one of the leaders of the Senju clan, and eventually the assistant of Hashirama when he became the First Hokage. He is known to have created a lot of jutsus that were proven to be of great use for good and evil purposes alike. 

He was the creator of the Shadow Clone Jutsu, which Naruto would often use as a part of his fighting style. He also created the dreaded Summoning: Impure World Resurrection, which revives the dead by using a sacrifice. He is also the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique, which Minato is using as his main fighting style.

Aside from these badass jutsus, he is also a master of Water-style jutsu, which he uses for both offensive and defensive capabilities. He also created an almost-infinite explosive tag technique, which goes well in conjunction with the undead created by the Impure World Resurrection.

13. Nagato/Pain

Pain is considered by people in his village, and by fans, as a god because of his abilities with the Rinnegan. Pain’s main power lies on the Rinnegan, as shown in how he utilizes his Six Paths of Pain, which makes him 7 in total. The Rinnegan provides a shared vision with all of the Six Paths of Pain, as well as grants each path with a unique power.

The Deva Path can repel and attract anything towards its vicinity, and even create what seems like a ball that serves as a center of gravity to attract anything towards it. The Asura Path can create various weapons with its body. The Animal Path can summon a wide variety of animals. The Human Path can take souls. The Preta Path can absorb chakra or any ninjutsu. The Naraka Path can fix the other Six Paths, as well as steal souls, by calling the Outer Path, which Nagato can use to revive people.

The main body of Nagato is also proven to be overpowered after absorbing enough chakra to bring his emaciated body back to normal. With his original body alone, he can perform all the aforementioned Six Paths of Pain jutsus with ease.

12. Itachi Uchiha

Itachi Uchiha is known as one of the fan-favorites of the series because of his good looks, badass appearance, and the way his jutsus work. First of all, he has the Sharingan, the signature eye of his clan, which grants him a superior vision, as well as the ability to cast genjutsu if the enemy makes eye contact with him.

He also can use the Mangekyo Sharingan, which grants him access to Tsukiyomi, a powerful genjutsu that makes a few seconds feel like several hours of torture. He also has gained access to Amaterasu, which grants him the ability to burn the enemies that he stares at with inextinguishable black flames. Lastly, he has access to the powerful Susanoo, whereas his version has two powerful weapons. The first one is a mirror shield that reflects all attacks, and the Sword of Totsuka that’s capable of sealing its targets in a world of drunken dreams (this sword defeated Orochimaru and Nagato in just one hit!)

Aside from these, Itachi has full knowledge of the Sharingan, which made him capable of using Izanami – another powerful genjutsu that makes its targets change their character according to the caster. He is also a master of Fire Style jutsu, capable of using a wide variety of techniques out of it, as well as shurikenjutsu.

Itachi would have made it further into the top ranks if he was not sick all along.

11. Obito Uchiha

Obito Uchiha is the acting true leader of Akatsuki, as Madara let Obito use his name for their goal to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi. Obito was first seen as a weak ninja just like Naruto in the first episodes. But when he descended into evil due to the influence and manipulation of Madara, he grew so much in power.

First, he has the ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan, which grants him access to his unique ability called Kamui. It is time-space ninjutsu that makes him absorb enemies with his single eye, as long as they are near them. He can also use it to go into the pocket dimension himself, as well as seemingly “phase” through objects by teleporting a part of his body into the dimension if attacked.

As an Uchiha, he is also proficient in using several weapons, and uses Fire-Style Jutsu. When he became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, it took the help of all of Naruto’s friends to extract the chakra of the Tailed Beasts out of Obito. They then needed the help of the entire Allied Shinobi Forces to remove them from Obito.

10. Might Guy

Might Guy is one of the silliest-looking characters with a personality that matches his appearance that seems funny at first. After all, his first appearance made him show a weird-looking pose while eccentrically greeting Naruto and Rock Lee’s group. He is the leader of Rock Lee, Neji, and Tenten, and is the master of Rock Lee. He is also considered as a rival and best friend to Kakashi.

Might Guy has a little bit of proficiency when it comes to simple ninjutsu such as the Summoning Jutsu. But he focused mainly on taijutsu to the point where he is labeled as a dangerous opponent if fought one-on-one. He has monstrous raw strength and speed due to having trained intensely through his entire adult life, which he would then pass on to Lee.

He also learned how to open the Eight Gates from his father, which grants him an immense boost in speed and strength. The boost grows exponentially when more gates are opened, which matches his fighting style very well. The Seventh and Eight Gates made his attacks so packed with raw strength that it can release air pressure. Guy made it into the Top 10 because of his jutsu, as he was able to almost kill Madara when he used the Eighth Gate, which grants him a speed that can bend the fabric of space itself. 

9. Hashirama Senju

Hashirama Senju is the First Hokage and is referred to as the God of Shinobi because of his feats and his talents as a ninja. Originally the leader of his clan, he would find Konoha along with Madara to resolve the endless wars of their era. He is also known to have controlled all Tailed Beasts thanks to his signature Wood Style Release, which only he knows how to use.

His Wood Release is his fighting style. With this, he can create a forest, which was said to have helped build the foundation of Konoha. He can also use these to attack opponents, or make a clone of himself. It also has the tremendous power of restraining a Tailed Beast, as well as creating sentient creatures with it.

He can create dragons and golems with it. But his most badass Wood Style jutsu was the Shinshu Senju, which creates a massive humanoid statue with a thousand hands behind it. The statue can fight as well and was able to overpower Madara, who was using the Nine-Tails with Susanoo armor. To add more to his badass characteristics in battle, he is also capable of using Sage Mode.

8. Indra Otsutsuki

Indra Otsutsuki is the older son of Hagoromo Otsutsuki. He is also known as the ancestor of the Uchihas. Sasuke and Madara were reincarnated from Indra. Nothing much is known of Indra’s overall abilities, but he was shown capable of using Sharingan and Susanoo to a very high degree. He is also capable of using a larger-scale version of Amaterasu called Hinokagutsuchi.

7. Ashura Otsutsuki

Ashura is the younger and more favored son of Hagoromo. Naruto and Hashirama reincarnated from him, making him the ancestor of the Senju clan (and the Uzumaki since they are blood-related from them). Little is also known about Ashura, but he was shown to be capable of using a technique that’s similar to the Rasengan, which comes in the form of a sphere with Rasengans inside it. He can also conjure a chakra-like entity similar to the Nine-Tailed Beast Mode but in the form of a 3-headed, 6-armed entity. 

6. Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke is one of the members of Team 7 and is regarded as the best friend and rival of Naruto. He grew in power over the series through hatred, unlike Naruto who grew in power due to the determination and love of everyone around him. But still, it made him powerful enough to become one of the strongest Naruto characters in history.

In the first parts of the series, he was considered more badass than Naruto, which made fans think about why is he not the main character. After all, he can breathe fire, use lightning on his hands to attack, and use the Sharingan. He is also a very proficient ninja in the art of shurikenjutsu, just like his brother.

Sasuke’s usage of the Mangekyo Sharingan also made him very powerful, since it grants him the ability to use Amaterasu and control its shape and direction. He also gains access to the powerful Susanoo, which Sasuke has perfected through the war. He also gained the Rinnegan from Hagoromo, which grants him access to the powers of the Six Paths (see Pain/Nagato), as well as a unique ability that lets him swap places with a certain object or person.

His final battle against Naruto was his strongest form, as he was able to use Chibaku Tensei to seal the Tailed Beasts and use them to absorb their Chakra while converting them into Lightning Release. This, along with using Indra’s Arrow, is enough to tell that Sasuke is a master of chakra manipulation and one of the strongest Naruto characters. 

5. Naruto Uzumaki

But still, Sasuke is outranked by Naruto not just because Naruto seemed to have won the fight, but also in terms of Naruto’s character and his way to improve over the series. He began as a ninja that sucks a lot and gets laughed at. But through training and his determination to become Hokage, he became a hero that everyone loved.

Naruto’s fighting style revolves around the usage of multiple shadow clones, which a normal person cannot do due to having their chakra split in half evenly among the clones. But take note that aside from having the Nine-Tails in him, he naturally has a huge chakra reserve. 

His fighting style is also more about using the Rasengan in various ways. He can create a small or large version of it, a planetary version where a Rasengan has smaller ones rotating around it, and the Rasenshuriken – a Rasengan mixed with millions of tiny wind blades that rotate like a shuriken around the sphere. 

He can also unlock Sage Mode by focusing Natural energy around him, which makes him a lot stronger in terms of durability and raw strength. It also made him throw the Rasenshuriken, which is dangerous to use for the owner in short range. Aside from that, he also earned the trust of the Nine-Tails, granting him the same level of mastery as Killer B when controlling his Tailed Beast. This grants him immense power, size, and the ability to use Tailed Beast Bombs.

After gaining the power of Hagoromo, as well as a few chakras from all Tailed Beasts, Naruto is capable of using Natural energy to its fullest. He then used the Tailed Beasts’ power to create multiple Tailed Beast versions of the Rasenshuriken to overpower Kaguya before landing their final strategy to seal her for good.

4. Ten-Tailed Beast

The Ten-Tailed Beast is one of the most powerful beings in the series, as it took almost all the efforts of the entire Shinobi Alliance, but was not able to defeat it at all. If it was not Madara’s plan to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi to the moon, the Ten-Tails has the potential to wipe out the entire Alliance.

Even when not in its full form, it has the power to create a massive Tailed Beast Bomb that dwarf’s a normal Tailed Beast Bomb. It also has immense durability that matches its massive size, as well as the ability to create smaller beings out of its body to fight as its army.

3. Madara Uchiha

Madara Uchiha is regarded as one of the most powerful villains in history not just because of his talents in battle, but because of his calculated schemes that ended up very well (but not at the end of achieving his plan). He is the mastermind behind Akatsuki, as well as Rin’s death. These were testaments that made him formidable as an enemy inside and outside of combat.

He also has an appetite for war, which made him a very powerful fighter. If you all remember, his debut in the anime was so badass when he fought hundreds of fodder ninjas as a warm-up. He has exceptional talent in using the Sharingan and the Mangekyo Sharingan, which lets him use a massive and extremely powerful Susanoo.

Upon becoming the Ten-Tailed Jinchuuriki, as well as obtaining the Rinnegan, he became capable of using the Six Paths Jutsus, which let him create several Chibaku Tensei to form meteorites. He can also use his Rinnegan to summon a version of himself in an invisible dimension that only another Rinnegan can see. He also gained mastery over all nature releases, as well as the ability to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi.

2. Hagoromo Otsutsuki

Hagoromo Otsutsuki is the Sage of The Six Paths, which was regarded as folklore in the Naruto world before he manifested right before them. He is a very wise person who naturally had the Rinnegan and chakra. He taught people Ninshu, a means to use chakra to communicate thoughts and feelings. However, the principle was weaponized, turning it into ninjutsu.

Hagoromo is a very powerful being who is capable of using Chibaku Tense, alongside his brother, to seal their evil mother away. He can also share his chakra despite being a spirit only, which boosted Naruto and Sasuke’s powers in preparation for the final battle. He was also the one responsible for splitting the Ten-Tailed Beast into 9 unique beings before he died. He may not have a major fight scene, but these feats were enough to prove that he can outmatch all the other characters at the bottom ranks.

1. Kaguya Otsutsuki

Lastly, the final villain of the Naruto series. Kaguya is the mother of all chakra on the planet, as she was the one who consumed the chakra fruit. Her views in attaining power and ruling over the humans made her mad, which caused her two sons to seal her to create the moon. When she returned, she was not killed as it seemed impossible, which is why Sasuke and Naruto had no choice but to seal her.

Kaguya is extremely powerful, as she can transport herself and others into another dimension in just a second. She can also extend her hair to restrain or attack enemies. She might not have any display or raw strength, but she can shoot bones out of her hands that can turn enemies into ash once it hits. She is also overpowered enough to create a gigantic Truth-Seeking Ball (a ball that grants all nature releases, which Naruto, Obito, and Madara gained when initially gaining Six Paths power) to create a new dimension while disintegrating everyone once they come in contact with its exponentially expanding size.

All of these are the reasons we have sorted her as the strongest Naruto character.
