  2. 2

    Naruto Uzumaki (Baryon Mode)

    Baryon Mode converts chakra to nuclear-fusion-like energy. Passively drains the lifespan of anyone Naruto touches. Strongest demonstrated form in the series.

  3. 3

    Sasuke Uchiha (Six Paths Rinnegan)

    Hagoromo's Yin power, Amenotejikara teleportation, Chibaku Tensei, and Perfect Susanoo. Naruto's equal at peak power.

  4. 4

    Hagoromo Otsutsuki (Sage of Six Paths)

    Creator of ninjutsu. Power sufficient to seal Kaguya. In his prime the strongest shinobi who ever lived.

  5. 5

    Madara Uchiha (Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki)

    Limbo clones, continental-scale chakra, Truth-Seeking Orbs. Near-unstoppable until the endgame.

  6. 6

    Hashirama Senju

    God of Shinobi. Wood Release, Sage Mode, passive healing. Benchmark for "Kage-level" throughout the entire story.

  7. 7

    Minato Namikaze

    Fastest shinobi who ever lived via Flying Raijin. Sealed the Nine-Tails alone. Multiple simultaneous space-time techniques.

  8. 8

    Tobirama Senju

    Creator of Shadow Clone, Edo Tensei, Flying Raijin v2. Considered superior tactical mind to Hashirama.

  9. 9

    Itachi Uchiha

    Mangekyou in both eyes: Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, and Susanoo with Totsuka Blade + Yata Mirror. Essentially invincible in direct combat while healthy.

  10. 10

    Nagato Uzumaki (Six Paths of Pain)

    Six bodies each with different Rinnegan abilities. Destroyed an entire village solo with Shinra Tensei.

Why Kaguya Is #1

Kaguya possesses the power of the God Tree and can access multiple dimensions, use the Infinite Tsukuyomi on a planetary scale, and her physical form is stated to exceed Madara's Ten-Tails form. She required the combined effort of Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, and Sakura just to seal — not defeat.

Why Naruto Ranks Above Sasuke

Both characters reach roughly equivalent peaks. Naruto's edge comes from Baryon Mode — introduced in Boruto — which passively drains the opponent's lifespan on contact, making it a conceptually unique and potentially instant-death ability. Sasuke has no clear counter to Baryon Mode's lifespan drain mechanic.
