7 Fastest Konoha Ninjas in History, Ranked

In the world of Narutodifferent ninjas excel in different areas of combat, and speed is certainly one of them. Masashi Kishimoto has introduced a plethora of incredibly fast shinobi in Naruto series over the years, and Konoha, the strongest ninja village, has seen the birth of the vast majority of them. While most ninjas operating at a high level are fast, some have speed that is much higher than others and rank among the fastest in history.

5 New Gen Ninja Replacements for Naruto in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex

Naruto is sealed in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, but he has many possible successors present in Boruto TBV.

Boruto Uzumaki

Boruto Uzumaki is one of the fastest ninjas in history, and this is especially the case after his training with Sasuke and Kashin Koji. Boruto also developed a unique teleportation jutsu very similar to Minato's Flying Raijin, and this allows him to cross great distances in an instant. Even in battle, Boruto is extremely fast, to the point where he can easily keep up with the strongest of Shinju. Combined with his immense teleportation abilities, Boruto becomes one of the fastest ninjas of the current era in the Two Blue Vertex. Boruto is easily the fastest shinobi alive, but others even faster have existed before him.

Tobirama Senju

Tobirama Senju was an incredibly skilled user of teleportation ninjutsu. He was the one who came up with the Flying Raijin, and he used its powers extensively in battle. It was with the help of this jutsu that he was able to kill Izuna Uchiha in battle and deal a fatal blow to him.

Tobirama's overall battle speed was incredibly tremendous, and even Madara Uchiha praised him for being the fastest of his time. Tobirama was a force to be reckoned with, but he certainly wasn't the fastest in the village and was surpassed by future generations.

Maybe guy

Might Guy Fastest Konoha Ninjas boruto — Might Guy activates his inner gates.

When it comes to sheer speed, few are as fast as Maybe guywhose total travel speed was so immense that it began to bend the space around him. Might Guy, when using the power of the 8th Gate, becomes one of the fastest ever. In fact, Madara, who could react to things like teleporting ninjutsu, couldn't quite handle the ferocity of Guy's speed.

The curved space around him instantly made him move at a pace that even the strongest would have trouble keeping up with. Additionally, his speed also increased the mass of his kicks, as his strongest technique nearly killed Madara Uchiha in his Ten Tails form.

Rock Lee

Rock Lee is just like Might Guy, in that he is an expert in Taijutsu and uses the Eight Inner Gates. By adulthood, when Lee becomes a Jonin, he has canonically been said to have surpassed even Might Guy. He has mastered the power of the eight inner gates, which means that the eighth gate of death is also available to him.

Given that he has surpassed Guy in Taijutsu in almost every way, Lee's top speed should be much higher than Guy's, meaning he should also be able to bend space around him through sheer movement alone. The mass behind his kicks would be greatly enhanced by the speed at which he moves, making him a threat to even the strongest of ninjas. It's unfortunate that Lee hasn't been heavily involved in the Boruto series, as his speed-based fighting style would have made for incredibly fun fight sequences.

Minato Namikaze

Konoha's Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikazewas known as the Yellow Flash, and it goes without saying that he was the fastest shinobi of his generation. In fact, Minato was even faster than Tobirama Senju, despite both of them using a similar ability in battle. Minato was able to teleport with the Flying Raijin Jutsu, and before the battle even started, the entire battlefield was marked with his kunai, making it easy for him to travel from one kunai to another.

It must also be noted that Minato had tremendous reflexes and great physical speed as well, so much so that he could speed up even Lightning Ay with ease. When harnessing the power of Kurama Chakra Mode, Minato's overall speed was increased by a huge margin, making him the undisputed fastest in the Fourth Great Ninja War at the time. The only reason Malara was able to counter his speed was because of his heightened sensory perception that came with the Six Paths powers.

Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke Uchiha has always been a speed-based combatant, and that remains true to this day. He is incredibly fast, and by coating his body with lightning, Sasuke's speed reaches speeds where he can even overwhelm someone as strong as Momoshiki Otsutsuki.

With the power of the Rinnegan, Sasuke can also teleport over short distances with the Amenotejikara, and this also gives him an extra speed boost in battle. Sasuke's speed is such that even the Six Paths perception cannot pick up his short-range teleportation, as seen in the Fourth Great Ninja War, where he fought Madara and Naruto and was able to lightning strike them both. Sasuke is easily one of the fastest in history, but unfortunately he has become very nervous in Boruto after he lost his Rinnegan, making the power of the Amenotejikara no longer available to him.

Naruto Uzumaki

The fastest shinobi in the world of Naruto is the protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki. Although Naruto wasn't a speed-based combatant at first, the moment he awakened Kurama's powers, he became incredibly fast to the point where he even dodged Lightning Ay at point blank range. This was at a time when Naruto's Kurama powers hadn't even fully manifested.

When he entered Kurama Link Mode, Naruto's overall physical prowess reached a whole new level, and he became even faster. Naruto then awakened the power of Six Path Sage Mode, and again this made him extremely fast, considering it boosted all of his physical abilities. With this power, Naruto could even flash the likes of Madara and Kaguya, who had sensory perception of the next level.

In particular, Naruto's speed received a huge boost when he harnessed the power of Baryon Mode. With this power, Naruto's overall physical abilities surpassed even Isshiki Otsutsuki's. Whether it's strength or speed, Naruto was on a whole other level at this point. Of course he couldn't teleport, but in terms of pure physical speed Naruto was head and shoulders above anyone, including the likes of Minato or Sasuke.

Naruto is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
