Would Sasuke and Naruto Be Able to Defeat Goku?

By now, you probably know that Son Goku from Dragon Ball is one of the most powerful and potent fictional characters ever created. He is not the most powerful, but he is at the top. On the other hand, in this article, we will compare him to two powerhouse characters from the Naruto franchise, characters that have fought together and against each other in their universe. They are, of course, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, the series’ most prominent characters. If you’ve ever wondered whether Naruto and Sasuke could defeat Son Goku in a fight, you’ve come to the right place, as this article is going to provide you with that answer.

Despite their combined powers, Naruto and Sasuke would still be unable to defeat Son Goku at his current power level. Earlier, the two of them would’ve won, but with Goku accessing Ultra Instinct through his training with Whis, and reaching Beerus’ level of power, there is little to no doubt that he would defeat the two of them in a fight.

The rest of the article will be about comparing the three characters from Dragon Ball and Naruto, respectively. You’ll find out who Son Goku, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha are, as well as what their exact powers and abilities are. In the end, based on what we have presented earlier, we will give our final verdict on who is stronger. It’s promising to be a fun story, so keep reading until the end!

Strength

Naruto is a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan and boasts incredible stamina and vitality. He won’t even age as much as others. It has been noted on several occasions that Naruto possesses a chakra capacity of exceptional proportions, thanks to his being a Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, making his amounts of chakra four times greater than those of a Jōnin level ninja, like Kakashi, after his training with Jiraiya. He also possesses a very accelerated regeneration (partly thanks to Kurama’s power), allowing him to recover from minor or serious injuries in a matter of seconds or days, respectively.

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.

Goku’s physical strength continues to increase as he gets stronger because he has yet to reach the limits of his strength. We are certain that he can easily support more than 100 tons when he is at his basic level. Nevertheless, we also know that this occurred before the events of Dragon Ball Super when his base level has now become extremely powerful. Naturally, when Goku changes into any of his enhanced forms, his strength multiplies tremendously because it’s likely that we can’t accurately gauge how powerful he is.

Even the combined strengths of Naruto’s and Sasuke’s chakra, which are the main source of their strength, would not be enough to surpass Son Goku’s powers, especially at this point in the series.

Special powers and abilities

Goku can succeed in any battle thanks to his various special skills and abilities. Most fighters in the Dragon Ball universe rely on ki, a natural energy present in everyone. As a result, Goku could strengthen himself, fly, and launch ki-based energy attacks like his recognizable Kamehameha. Goku also possesses a wide range of special skills and talents, including the capacity to teleport instantly from one location to any other location in the universe, provided he has the target’s energy locked on.

After Jiraiya’s death at the hands of Nagato, Naruto began training with Fukasaku on Mount Myōboku to learn Senjutsu and how to enter Sage Mode. To achieve this, Naruto learned to detect and control the Natural Energy around him. Once mastered, Naruto could perfect the Rasen Shuriken, so he could cast it and learn the Kata of the Toads, the style of Taijutsu that uses natural energy around the user to improve the range and power of his attacks. In Sage Mode, overall Naruto’s physical capabilities are dramatically enhanced to the point that he can launch entities much larger than himself with little to no effort, such as the Animal Path Giant Rhinoceros and Kurama.

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 was able to 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.

Now, the Dōjutsu that Naruto and Sasuke use could pose a problem for Goku. Namely, while Goku does know a lot of fighting techniques, the nature of the Dōjutsu is simply too specific for us to compare them properly; this is why we have decided to split the points in this category, as it was impossible for us to compare these specific, yet powerful categories properly.

Fighting skills

Goku is a martial arts master with more skills than almost anyone else in Dragon Ball. Vegeta, who has also put in a lot of training to ensure that Goku doesn’t outperform him, is likely the only person who could match his skill in martial arts. Goku was already a skilled martial artist when he was just a little child due to his intensive and obsessive training to become the best martial artist. He could, therefore, not only outrun and exceed all of his adversaries but also overcome them with his martial arts abilities. Because of this, Goku has outmatched opponents who could be physically superior but lack skill.

In the Academy, the Sexy Technique was the only technique Naruto could successfully perform that had no practical use other than shocking people. Later, he learned more advanced and useful ninjutsu from Jiraiya. These included summoning toads from Mount Myōboku to help him crush his enemies from above. He became adept at shurikenjutsu and could throw weapons quickly and accurately. Naruto’s repertoire expanded to fūinjutsu, where he could store his weapons in scrolls. His fūinjutsu was further improved when he obtained Gerotora at the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

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.

Can the ninjutsu (or other fighting techniques) from Naruto really be compared with those from Dragon Ball? Well… no, not really. Dragon Ball is focused almost exclusively on martial arts, and Goku has been training his whole life to become an expert in hand-to-hand combat (despite all of his additional techniques). And sure, Naruto characters are also skilled fighters, but compared to Goku’s martial arts skills, they are simply not a match, which is why Goku wins this final category as well.

Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha vs. Son Goku: Who wins?

This match-up wasn’t really a big contest. People might think that the combined powers of Naruto and Sasuke (and we’re talking about Naruto with Kurama at his side) would be enough, but not against Goku. Not against the powerful Saiyan. Namely, had the three of them fought some time ago, we would’ve probably leaned over to the Naruto club in this one, but with Goku mastering Ultra Instinct and reaching Beerus’ level of power, this is really not a contest.

Okay, we have to admit that Goku would have some problems dealing with Naruto and Sasuke at the same time, but if he were to activate his strongest form, Ultra Instinct, he would definitely be able to surpass them and that is the conclusion of our comparison involving Naruto, Sasuke, and Son Goku.
