Over the course of two decades, creator Masashi Kishimoto introduced fans to many memorable characters.
Discerning aNarutopower ranking is no easy task.
The mostpowerful characters in theNarutofranchise are those who can stand alone against a sea of enemies.
Of course, just because the franchise features his story doesn’t necessarily meanNarutois the most powerful character.
Unfortunately, the character was not given much to do in the story’s latter half.
Neji was able to create effective air blasts by forcing chakra through his hands.
Hes got incredible hand-to-hand combat skills as well.
This technique allows him to use a variety of skills to outwit his opponents.
For these reasons, he is considered the strongest Kazekage prior to Gaara.
It involved literally controlling puppets to battle enemies.
Sasori was, quite possibly, the most powerful puppet master inNaruto.
He didnt just use puppets of his own creation either.
Sasori turned some of his victims into puppets, like the Third Kazekage.
His abilities seemed largely uneven throughout his appearances.
The Akatsuki member can survive being impaled, exploded, and even beheaded.
Regardless of his immortality’s source though, Hidan’s endurance makes him a potent threat.
Shikamaru used his own shadow to quite literally reach out to his opponents and control them.
That isn’t, however, why he’s so powerful.
Instead, it’s how he used his abilities.
Shikamaru was one of the most strategic shinobi.
His intelligence was legendary.
That’s why he’s able to take on Hidan by himself when no one else could.
He became so adept that he’s eventually advisor to the Hokage, thoughShikamaru would make a great Hokagehimself.
When Naruto started to lose control during training, Yamato was the only one able to reign him in.
It also makes fora perfect combo with Kubikiribocho after he looted itfrom Zabuza’s grave.
