5 characters that rivaled the Sage Of Six Paths

IN NarutoHagoromo Otsutsuki was known as the Sage of Six Paths. He was the eldest son of Kaguya Otsutsuki and the first to rebel against her, and after teaming up with his twin brother, he defeated Kaguya and saved the world from destruction.

After that, Hagoromo began to spread the word of peace. He also became the jinchuriki of the Ten Tails, greatly boosting his overall strength. Given his power, it is hardly surprising that only a few Naruto characters could compete with Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Kaguya Otsutsuki

Reason: Has multiple one-shot abilities

As dedicated fans would know, not bringing up Kaguya's name would be unthinkable, especially when talking about characters that could rival Hagoromo Otsutsuki. She was known as the Rabbit Goddess and feared throughout the world for her ruthlessness and strength.

Kaguya was the progenitor of chakra on Earth, and unsurprisingly her own chakra was extremely potent. She was able to use her immense reserves to cast jutsu that would not be possible for a normal person. For example, she was able to create a massive truth-seeking ball that could crush an entire planet and turn it into dust. Additionally, she was able to use All Killing Ash Bones, a technique so powerful that it could hit any enemy with a single hit.

If things went south, Kaguya could use Amenominaka to change dimensions and recover. If these powers weren't enough, Kaguya was also immune to regular ninjutsu. In fact, she was able to disintegrate Sasuke's entire body Susanoo with just her touch. At the peak of her powers, Kaguya was unstoppable, and even Hagoromo couldn't have defeated her in a one-on-one fight.

Madara Uchiha

Reason: Veteran fighters with decades of experience

Madara Uchiha was a powerful ninja whose name echoed through the ninja wars even decades after his death. But his normal version wouldn't stand a chance against the Sage of Six Paths, but the Ten-Tails jinchuriki version of Madara is a different story.

When Madara became the jinchuriki of the Ten-tails, his strength multiplied several times. Not only did he gain incredibly large chakra reserves, but his physical abilities also improved. It is worth mentioning that this version of Madara was equipped with both the Rinnegan, giving him access to all six paths and the Limbo clones. It would also be remiss not to mention that Madara was called the Second Sage of Six Paths. Madara's fight with Hagoromo would not be one-sided as many expected. In fact, it would be an extremely close call.

Isshiki Otsutsuki

Reason: Arguably the strongest Otsutsuki

Isshiki Otsutsuki was a major antagonist in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. A purely evil individual who took over the body of Jigen and remained in control of it until he found a suitable vessel, Isshiki was able to use his powers inside Jigen's body, but certain limitations prevented Otsutsuki from fully exiting.

Thankfully, fans got a glimpse of his powers in the manga. At full strength, Isshiki dominated both Naruto and Sasuke, which is an absolutely incredible feat, especially since both were at the peak of their powers. However, Otsutsuki would never have been so prolific without his dojutsu. Isshiki's Kokugan gave him access to Sukonahikona and Daikokuten. With Sukonahikona, Isshiki can shrink all inanimate objects and himself instantly, allowing him to dodge incoming attacks and reduce their overall impact. At the same time, the Daikokuten allowed him to store all shrunken objects in a dimension where time stands still. Considering Isshiki's arsenal, it's not surprising if he pushed Hagoromo beyond his limits.

Naruto Uzumaki

Reason: Can kill anyone with Baryon Mode

Naruto Uzumaki is the main hero of the story, and he has always been loved by fans because of his kind and compassionate nature. Another reason why fans love Naruto is because of his powers. After all, he has the Six Paths Sage Mode, which drastically improves his chakra, damage output, regeneration, and speed.

While it may be enough to fight most threats in the series, this version of Naruto would not be able to compete with the Sage of Six Paths. The only way the hero had a chance to beat Hagoromo is if he unleashed Baryon Mode. In this mode, all of Naruto's attacks can reduce the enemy's lifespan. Even if they are blocked, the opponent will lose their longevity, provided they use their own body to do so. The biggest downside to Baryon Mode is that it comes at the cost of Kurama's life.

Hamura Otsutsuki

Reason: Ancestor of the Hyuuga Clan

Hamura Otsutsuki was Hagoromo's younger twin brother. He was the only person who supported his brother in the rebellion against their mother. Hamura stuck with him through all the months of strife, until the two of them had finally sealed away their mother for good. Unlike Hagoromo, Hamura decided to leave Earth and watch over Kaguya.

In time, he became the leader of the people who lived on the moon. They respected Hamura because he was an exceptionally strong individual. Hamura possessed the Tenseigan, a Dojutsu comparable to the mighty Rinnegan. He was able to use Tenseigan Chakra Mode, where he also gained the Truth Seeking Balls. Considering their respective strengths, the fight between Hagoromo and Hamura would be quite epic.
