This list was ranked based on abilities, if you have trouble disagreeing with the list...suggest yours lets compare

#20
Itachi
Itachi was a ninja of prodigious talent, evidenced by the rapidity with which he rose through the ninja ranks. He was equally proficient in all three main types of ninja skill and gained praise from allies and foes alike; Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, openly admitted Itachi was stronger than he was.Even during his final battle with Sasuke, the latter could not defeat him and it was Itachi's illness that killed him in the end.

Being a pacifist at heart, Itachi did not actually like fighting and would avoid it when he could. When he couldn't he would end the fight as quickly as possible, all the while holding himself back. Even when restrained in this way, Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yūhi, and Asuma Sarutobi (all of whom were experienced jōnin) were still pushed to their limits against Itachi.

#19
Onoki

Ōnoki is a powerful and capable Tsuchikage. However, his skills are often hindered in battle due to his bad back resulting from his old age, and as such he isn't suited for taijutsu. In spite of this, Ōnoki is shown to have a high level of stamina despite his advanced age, still able to hold his own on the battlefield after fighting for an extended period of time. His endurance is similarly high; despite his old age, with him surviving, despite getting heavily injured, being in epicentre of Madara's giant meteorite, a feat made more impressive by the fact that it obliterated a large portion of the surrounding area and killed numerous other shinobi and by the fact he took the attack head on.

Likewise, he was the only one of the five Kage that was somewhat able to resist Madara's poisonous pollen mist long enough to blow it away with his powerful Dust Release technique. Upon getting his chakra restored by Tsunade, he was able to wipe out all twenty-five Susanoo-clad wood clones Madara created.

#18

Mu
Having been the Kage of his village, Mū was an immensely powerful shinobi. Even before becoming the Tsuchikage, his power was such that he was chosen to be the bodyguard to his predecessor. His skills, especially those with the Dust Release, were such that the Allied Shinobi Forces leaders agreed that the only way to stop him was to have Ōnoki confront him on the battlefield. Mū himself declares that sheer numbers alone do not matter because of the nature of his techniques, in spite of confronting nearly the entire Fourth Division at the time.

A true testament of his power was the fact that he was also able to kill the Second Mizukage, another Kage — albeit at the cost of his own life.While alive, Mū was seen carrying a pair of swords, implying that he was also skilled in kenjutsu. He appears to be both extremely knowledgeable and analytical, being able to discern the exact method used to locate his position almost immediately after detection, seemingly without any prior information concerning the technique in question. He also apparently deciphered the mechanisms behind his rival's Steaming Danger Tyranny and passed on the information to his student, as was later speculated by the Second Mizukage himself.

#17
Second Mizukage

As the Mizukage, he was undoubtedly an immensely powerful shinobi. Even when informing a considerable portion of the Fourth Division on how to defeat him, none of them were able to grasp the concept behind his techniques, allowing him to kill and injure a significant number of them with relative ease, showing that Gengetsu's combat capabilities are truly fearsome. A true testament of his power is the fact that he was also able to kill the Second Tsuchikage — albeit at the cost of his own life. Among the four Kage that were reincarnated, Gaara acknowledged Gengetsu's skills as the strongest of the four.

#16
3rd Raikage

A was undoubtedly an immensely powerful shinobi and is recognised as the greatest Raikage that Kumogakure has ever seen.He was also said to be one of the only ninja capable of directly going up against a tailed beast alone, and even Gyūki commented that he was a very tough and resilient man

#15
Kakashi
A match for seemingly any opponent, Kakashi was noted by Tsunade and Jiraiya to easily be one of Konoha's strongest ninja.His various accomplishments have earned him much renown, and praise by his fellow Konoha ninja and he holds a position of great influence amongst them. Kakashi's extensive and varied skill-set allow him to effectively provide invaluable support against opponents of any level in any situation. Since early childhood, Kakashi was hailed as a natural genius, evident by his meteoric rise through the ninja ranks; entering the Academy on his first try and graduating in a year at top of his class at age 5 (which impressed his sensei Minato), becoming a chūnin at age 6, as well as jōnin and Anbu captain while still a child. He could even fight back an entire squad of elite Kiri-nin as a child. He is frequently given responsibility for important tasks, such as keep the seal containing the Nine-Tails in Naruto intact. For years, Kakashi has been considered by many prominent people to be one of the most suitable candidates for Hokage, eventually becoming the Sixth Hokage even after recently losing his Sharingan, showing that his abilities haven't weakened. His prowess and reputation as Hokage has even shown much political weight, able to make the rest of the shinobi world respect his views.

Most enemies grow afraid or excited at the idea of fighting Kakashi and likewise his prowess has earned him great praise from various prominent ninja, such as the S-rank members of Akatsuki. Itachi Uchiha noted that fighting Kakashi alone was dangerous with a high chance of injuries, while Pain, the most powerful member of Akatsuki, viewed Kakashi as a major threat that needed to be eradicated to allow his plans to progress. He could even handle himself against the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, as well as the Ten-Tails itself. After obtaining both Sharingan and the Six Paths Power from Obito, Kakashi's abilities allowed him to threaten and even harm Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the most powerful chakra user in history.

sorry bro, update comming

#14

kabuto
Despite officially being a genin, Kabuto has proven himself to be a skilled and cunning ninja far beyond that level, particularly because of his medical abilities. Orochimaru and Jiraiya both remarked that his skills were comparable to those of Kakashi Hatake.He has been shown to be able to kill Anbu with relative ease,and even mockingly stated he could handle at least ten Anbu members.

Through keen observation, Kabuto can quickly determine the situation at hand. Even when up against a stronger opponent, he can gain an advantage by quickly exploiting their weakness. Kabuto is also very adaptable, as when his nervous system signals were flipped by Tsunade, he managed to regain control of his body quickly, a feat that impressed Tsunade.By his own claim, he will not disclose any information no matter what type of torture or genjutsu he is submitted to. Even as a child, he already demonstrated great potential, to the point that Orochimaru took great interest in him and kept track of him prior to recruiting him.

Upon adapting to his bodily modifications and mastering senjutsu, his fighting prowess was enhanced to the point that he was able to withstand an assault from the combined efforts of Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha, and overwhelmed both of them on separate occasions.

#13
Nagato (pain)

As the leader of the S-rank criminal organisation Akatsuki, and one of the two sides of the Amegakure civil war, Nagato was an extraordinarily powerful shinobi, and recognised as the strongest member of Akatsuki. Even as a child before becoming a shinobi, he was able to kill a chūnin while protecting Yahiko.
His partner, Konan, had stated that he had never lost a single battle, and that he was "unbeatable". Fukasaku stated that without understanding Pain's power, no one could defeat him, and even Obito noted that Nagato was invincible while praising Jiraiya. Nagato was able to kill Jiraiya with relative ease after revealing all six of his bodies. It was with these six bodies that Nagato led a civil war in Amegakure that not only easily killed Hanzō and overthrew his regime, but also eradicated his lineage and anyone remotely associated with him and his ideals.

He was also able to effortlessly defeat Orochimaru, making Orochimaru join Akatsuki after finding him.[35] Even Kakashi Hatake, who is noted to be one of Konoha's top shinobi, opted not to face Nagato alone,[36] and ultimately was defeated by the latter alongside Chōza and Chōji Akimichi. Zetsu expressed shock when Nagato was defeated by Naruto Uzumaki, stating that he never thought Nagato would ever lose, even in a weakened state.

After being reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi and regaining most of his vitality, Nagato was able to easily overwhelm both Naruto Uzumaki in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and Killer B whom used the power of Gyūki as well, and Nagato would have killed them both had it not been for Itachi Uchiha's intervention. It took the combined efforts of those three men to successfully defeat him. In this regard, he was considered to be Kabuto Yakushi's second strongest reincarnated shinobi, since the latter noted that he'd have to bring out his trump card after Nagato was sealed.

Nagato's legs were greatly damaged in his battle against Hanzō. As a result, even though he was able to stand on his own, he lacked full mobility. To make up for this, while alive, Nagato used the Six Paths of Pain to fight for him while he remained in a mechanical walker. When he was reincarnated by Kabuto, he used various summons to move around and to keep himself out of range of his opponents' attacks. Though even after being rejuvenated by Gyūki's chakra, which he had absorbed from Killer B, Nagato's mobility was still limited.

#12
Minato

According to Jiraiya, Minato was one of the most talented shinobi who ever lived, a calibre that has yet to be met by anyone else.During the Third Shinobi World War, flee-on-sight orders were given to enemy shinobi should they ever see him appear on the battlefield. During the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, Tobi believed Minato to be the only one capable of interfering with his plans and, indeed, it was only though Minato's actions that the attack was ended and the village saved from complete destruction. When, years later, the invasion of Konoha loomed, Minato was believed to be the only one who could have stopped the threat Orochimaru posed to Konoha, and for that reason his death was deeply regretted. Minato's fighting style revolved around using no hand seals whatsoever so that he would not waste time in a battle.

#11
Tobirama
He was hailed as one of the most powerful shinobi of his era and one of the most gifted shinobi in history. Since childhood, Tobirama was noted to be a skilled shinobi even by the likes of Madara Uchiha. Madara has openly acknowledged that in life their power was comparable to each other, further attesting to Tobirama's legendary prowess.

A testament to his prowess was such that he was able to fight on equal ground and ultimately kill Izuna Uchiha — who was noted to be as strong as his brother Madara.Danzō also stated that during his reign as Hokage, there was no shinobi who could match his prowess. During his reign, he battled and survived against the Gold and Silver Brothers who were imbued with the Nine-Tails chakra and wielded the Treasured Tools of the Sage of the Six Paths.

His skills were held in such high regard that an Anbu captain found his power hard to believe, even having high doubts that the Third Hokage could defeat both him and his brother despite the Third being revered as the God of Shinobi. The fact that Tobirama wasn't brought back with his full strength at that time furthermore emphasises his might. Upon entering the Fourth Shinobi World War after being reincarnated, and still not quite back at his full strength, he was able to hold his own against Obito Uchiha despite him being the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki. He even managed to briefly overpower Obito multiple times in collaborative efforts with his team mates.

#10
First Hokage

Hashirama is reputed as the most powerful shinobi of his era, greatly respected by the shinobi world, with his might being so vast that it earned him the title of "God of Shinobi.His prowess was such that Kabuto Yakushi claimed that there was no one living that could match it.

With his overwhelming power, Hashirama could subdue several tailed beasts and unify multiple clans together into the village under his leadership. Even Madara Uchiha openly admitted his inferiority to the First Hokage, something that dated even back to their childhood.A testament to Hashirama's power was his ability to defeat Madara on separate occasions; once after the latter had achieved the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and again when he used Kurama to fight Hashirama

#9
Obito

During his time as a Konoha ninja, Obito's skills were average at best, struggling to match his classmates from the Academy and being unable to catch up with Kakashi's development. What he lacked in skill, though, he made up for in determination, as he would train himself for weeks and months at a time to improve himself, which eventually enabled him to become a chūnin. Despite his poor performance, Madara saw great potential in Obito and for that reason selected him as his disciple.

Madara's hopes were proven accurate, as under his tutelage, Obito dramatically improved his abilities to the point where he became a near-mirror image of Madara in his prime. At different times, Obito posed a challenge to Minato (the Fourth Hokage), defeated Konan (an S-class criminal), and held his own in a one-on-four fight against Naruto, Killer B, Guy and Kakashi (the former two being perfect jinchūriki, the latter two being experienced jōnin).

Ok. noted

#8
Indra Ōtsutsuki‎

Indra was the elder son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and the ancestor of the Uchiha clan.

From a young age, Indra was recognised as a natural genius and a prodigy, even in his legendary father's own perspective. In battle, Indra also wielded a sword, showing some expertise in kenjutsu. In addition to his skill in battle, Indra inherited his father's powerful chakra and spiritual energy.

Dōjutsu
Indra possessed a derived form of his grandmother's dōjutsu; the Sharingan. He would also awaken its advanced form: the Mangekyō Sharingan which is presumably the spiral-like pattern that originated from his pupils and covered his irides, which was shown when he debuted.

With it, he became the first known wielder of Susanoo. Attaining mastery over the technique and its various developments, he became capable of fully manifesting and "stabilise" it into its Complete Body form, dwarfing the surrounding landscape.

#7

Asura Ōtsutsuki
He was the youngest son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and heir to his teachings. He is also the ancestor of the Senju clan, as well as the Uzumaki clan.

As a child, Asura was considered to be unskilled, much unlike his genius older brother, Indra. Over the years, through gruelling hard work and dedication, plus support from his friends, Asura awakened his own power, his father's "body": life force, stamina, and physical energy; power rivalling that of his brother's as a late bloomer. This granted him a greater longevity and strong vitality, as well as massive chakra reserves. He also became a capable leader, obtaining countless loyal followers. It was this way of operating that caused his father to make him the successor to ninshū. After receiving Hagoromo's power, he was granted the Yin–Yang Release.

In battle, Asura was seen encased in a three-headed, six-armed avatar wielding several dark-coloured spheres. This avatar was capable of going head to head with Indra's perfect Susanoo. He was also seen wielding a shakujō, as well as a sword on different occasions.

#6

Sasuke

Sasuke is hailed as a brilliant ninja, even by the battle-adept Uchiha clan's standards, showing an undeniable prodigious talent and keen intellect since early childhood. He finds little difficulty in most tasks since his time in the Academy,[26] scoring the highest in various tests to easily graduate top of his class. Sasuke has great knowledge if not proficiency in many of his clan's techniques, most of which being self-taught. His abilities have been compared to various remarkable individuals like Kakashi Hatake and Orochimaru, both hailed as geniuses and the latter admitting to Sasuke far exceeding him at his current age. Sasuke is noted as potentially able to surpass the likes of Itachi, Nagato, and even Madara Uchiha. Madara himself noted that had Sasuke been born in Obito's time, he would have chosen Sasuke to use as a pawn over Obito.

Throughout Part I, Sasuke steadily develops his abilities, becoming capable of holding his own against various skilled shinobi like Haku, Gaara and even Orochimaru. By Part II, despite still officially being the rank of a genin, he can fight on par with several highly skilled and extremely powerful shinobi. After awakening and adjusting to his Mangekyō Sharingan, Sasuke proved able to fight against at least two Kage and their respective bodyguards. By the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was able to match his older brother Itachi in various fields of combat. After receiving the Six Paths Chakra, Sasuke, alongside Naruto, was able to fight toe-to-toe the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, Madara, after the latter fully absorbed the tailed beast's tree form. Later, during his final battle against Naruto, after manifesting the chakra of the nine tailed beasts into his Susanoo, Kurama noted Sasuke's prowess to be on par with Hagoromo's

#5

Naruto

Initially, Naruto didn't display much talent in terms of being a shinobi. He was dead-last in the Academy, struggled with basic ninjutsu and had failed to graduate three times. In fact, while he could not produce a proper Clone Technique, he was able to create the Sexy Technique; an inventive but entirely useless diversionary technique. However, through sheer willpower and perseverance, Naruto managed to push past this stumbling block to learn very difficult and complex techniques as a late bloomer, earning his graduation by mastering the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Naruto's rapid growth during Part I enabled him to fight on par with noteworthy prodigious and skilled shinobi such as Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara, as well as master several high-level techniques, usually within the allotted time frame. Several highly skilled shinobi, including the legendary Sannin, have noted Naruto's great potential. Naruto's fighting style, much like his father's, rarely used hand seals other than for his signature Shadow Clone Technique.

After his training with Jiraiya for two-and-a-half years, Naruto has developed his abilities to match the S-rank members of Akatsuki. Upon defeating their strongest member and leader Pain, Naruto was praised by Konoha villagers as a hero worthy of earning the Hokage title. By the Fourth Shinobi World War, Naruto's presence on the battlefield became much like his father's; with his unique skill set, he could dramatically change the outcome of the battle even against several Kage-level shinobi. After receiving the Six Paths Chakra, he was shown capable of overwhelming the Ten-Tails jinchūriki, Madara Uchiha, and even Kaguya Ōtsutsuki on separate occasions. By war's end, Naruto has been acknowledged by others to have surpassed all of the previous Hokage.

Despite being low on chakra from the war, as well as holding back during their final battle, Naruto managed to defeat his old rival Sasuke, who was noted to have gained comparable prowess to Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. Two years after the war, he has become so famous that Konoha gets visitors from different parts of the world just to meet him. Years later, Naruto's already impressive abilities continued to improve until he eventually succeeded his former sensei, Kakashi Hatake, as the Seventh Hokage.

#4
Hamura Ōtsutsuki

He was the twin brother of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.
Alongside his brother, he was one of the first humans to be born with chakra.

One of the most powerful figures in history, he was able to defeat the Ten-Tails in battle together with his brother. In battle Hamura wielded a sword with presumable proficiency as well as a shakujō. He was also noted to have inherited his mother's powerful chakra and wielded the Six Paths Yin Power in his left hand that he used in combination with Hagoromo's Six Paths Yang Power to seal the Ten-Tails into the core of the Chibaku Tensei.

#3
Madara Uchila

Madara was recognised as the most powerful member of the Uchiha clan and one of the most gifted shinobi in history. Even as a child he was regarded as a prodigy, as he was able to kill several adult Senju before he awakened his Sharingan.History remembers him best for being able to compete with Hashirama Senju, a "God of Shinobi". For this reason, when Obito began operating under Madara's name, the mere threat of Madara's power caused the Five Great Shinobi Countries, including the normally neutral Land of Iron, to band together and trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War. After his return from death, Madara proved himself to be more than a match for the five Kage and the nine tailed beasts, defeating all of them single-handedly at different times

#2

Sage of the Six Paths

Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki known to the world at large as the Sage of the Six Paths was a legendary god-like figure who founded Ninshū which led to the creation of the ninja world. He was the son of Princess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki‎‎ and, alongside his brother, the first humans born with the same powerful chakra, inherited from their mother. Both he and his brother defeated their mother, having become the terrifying Ten-Tails, in battle and sealed the powerful beast within him, thus making Hagoromo the first jinchūriki.

Though not a great deal is known about all of his skills, Hagoromo is widely accepted to be the most powerful figure in history, second only to his own mother, having defeated the Ten-Tails, albeit with his brother's help. Hagoromo came to be revered as a god himself after becoming the very first jinchūriki in history, having the Ten-Tails' great power contained within him. In addition, he was the first man to understand the very nature of chakra itself. Hagoromo's wisdom, combined with his kekkei genkai, the Rinnegan, allowed him to create the original form of ninjutsu, Ninshū. He obtained a great following, as men and women from across the world strove to learn from his teachings. The power of his chakra was later shown to even transcend time itself, becoming able to continue observing the world and meet with people long after his death. It was also stated that Hagoromo's power contains Yin-Yang Release.

#1
Princess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki

Sheis the matriarch of the Ōtsutsuki clan and mother of Hagoromo and Hamura Ōtsutsuki, who had lived long before the founding of the hidden villages, during an era of endless wars between mankind. She consumed the fruit of the Shinju and became the progenitor of chakra, and part of the creation of the beast that would become known as the Ten-Tails.

Having consumed the fruit of the Shinju, Kaguya achieved such unrivalled power that she was able to pacify the war-torn world all by herself, leading the people to worship her in fear.

Hagoromo, being a legendary figure himself, praised his mother's might as superior to all others, including his own. According to Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, Kaguya possesses more chakra than both the Ten-Tails and its jinchūriki, Madara Uchiha, originally had. Black Zetsu claimed that Kaguya, rather than the Shinju, is in fact, the progenitor of all chakra.

As the progenitor of chakra, Black Zetsu states that Kaguya can also absorb any technique that she encounters. Much like the jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, Kaguya displayed the ability to fly. In combat, she is able to materialise enormous chakra fists, easily surpassing the power of the chakra arms employed by jinchūriki. With them, she is capable of destroying a Perfect Susanoo without much effort.
Kaguya's Might


Kaguya has shown the ability to manipulate nature itself. One such instance she was seen manipulating lightning, causing a thunder storm. While in her dimensions, she has also shown the ability to meld with the world and control the substance within it, such as the ice and snow in her frozen mountainous dimension.

Kaguya is able to manifest her will, an ability that allows her to create life to serve on her behalf. Just prior to her sealing, Kaguya was able to create Black Zetsu, using the latter to revive her centuries afterward. Claiming to be immortal, she is also able to regenerate lost anatomy, including a severed arm.

Kaguya is capable of very fast movement, displayed when she suddenly appears before individuals in the blink of an eye. While not her specialty, Kaguya has shown a degree of unarmed combat skills, able to easily block several attacks from Naruto's omnidirectional shadow clone-assault. She can also use her extremely long hair as a makeshift weapon capturing and tossing foes around the battlefield or shooting it like senbon with enough ferocity to pierce even Sasuke's Susanoo. She is able to harden her hair to shield her from attacks. When making physical contact with an enemy, she is able to halt their movements while absorbing their chakra

Nice review op.

Interesting write up

But to me o, Itachi was the best shinobi in Narutoverse, if not for his terminal illness...

One can only reminise on the 72hours lecturing he gave Kakaski in a space of a second

My dear aggrieved brother, Kishi made the Naruto story for entertainment, not to raise your blood pressure.

I believe say you no put chewing gum for eyes as you read my post, what was the intro of the second line?
After you av seen that, what will be the best name you can call urself?
