There are a few ways to measure the ability and talent of ninjas Narutowhich always affects the ranking of who is the strongest. When brainpower is factored in, the likes of Shikamaru Nara and Naruto's mentor Kakashi Hatake rise to the top. In other fights, raw martial arts count the most, where Might Guy and Rock Lee excel. Then there's the matter of chakra, the energy system that virtually all ninja use.
Most ninjas in Naruto are implied to have an average amount of chakra, making them balanced in each battle as they ration their energy reserves. Other characters go way beyond that, throwing their weight around like living tanks of limitless chakra. These characters use their mammoth chakra stores to either perform overwhelming jutsu or simply outlast an enemy who can't use that much energy in a fight.
7 Strongest Kage In Naruto (Including Hokage)
Konoha has had many powerful Kages. There are still many strong Kages outside of Konoha in Naruto.
Nagato needed a lot of chakra to fight the entire Hidden Leaf Village
He was a one-man team with the six paths of pain
A clear sign that someone in Naruto have large reserves of chakra is when they fight not just one, but many enemies at the same time. It's already impressive when someone like Zabuza takes on Team 7 all by himself, but it's a whole other thing for a villain like Nagato to take on the entire Hidden Leaf Village. That's what he did in the famous Pain Arc, and he was actually winning until Naruto himself showed up to save the day.
Using his bottomless chakra to fuel his Rinnegan and the Six Paths of Pain, Nagato waged a one-man war against his former mentor's home. Granted, this was straining Nagato quite a bit and he needed Konan's support, but what he managed was still astonishing. It takes an incredible amount of chakra to use a jutsu to wipe out the entire village, and even after that Nagato still had enough chakra to duel Naruto and almost win.
Gaara commanded the great chakra as the one-sided Shukaku's Jinchuriki
Gaara was Orochimaru's secret weapon in Operation Konoha Crush
It is a given that all jinchuriki have superhuman chakra thanks to the tailed beasts within them, although only a few named jinchuriki really stand out in this way. One of them is Gaara, a villain turned hero Naruto which showed the true potential of these one and a half warriors in Operation Konoha Crush. Using both his and Shukaku's chakra, Gaara served as Orochimaru's ultimate weapon when Shukaku appeared.
Naruto: 5 Best Uchiha Clan Techniques, Ranked
The Uchiha clan was known for having some of the deadliest techniques in the series, so let's go through the best of them!
If it wasn't for Naruto's own jinchuriki power and Gamabunta, Gaara would have flattened the entire Hidden Leaf Village with his kaiju level chakra. The only real sign of Gaara's limits is how his use of sand armor wears him out, which was noted during his fight with Rock Lee. But Gaara almost never needs his sand armor, instead controlling his sand as the ultimate weapon with barely any effort in most duels.
Hashirama Senju used his abundant chakra to bring forth unique jutsu of his time
It's no wonder Hashirama became the first Hokage
Each Kage wields massive chakra and advanced jutsu like the best ninjas in their villages, such as Kekkei Genkai or summoning Gamabunta. Even by these standards, Hashirama Senju is a real standout with his massive chakra reserves. He needed chakra of that caliber to use his famous Wood Release jutsu, the move that allowed him to dominate his era and help find the Hidden Leaf Village along with Madara.
Unfortunately, Hashirama's unique jutsu and enormous chakra began to be misused for evil purposes after that. His fearsome power was just a tool in Orochimaru's hands thanks to Edo Tensei in Operation Konoha Crush, and that's not all. Sometime later, Madara Uchiha himself revealed how he could use his old rival's cells to use Wood Release on the battlefield.
Killer B has power to spare as the host of the eight-tailed bull
So did Killer B Naruto's ideal mentor
Killer B, or Killer Bee, is another notable jinchuriki who knew how to use his titanic chakra as a devastating weapon on the battlefield. Thanks to his age and Gyuki's personality, Killer B found it easy to use the eight-tailed bull chakra from then on Naruto Shippudenand it allowed him to fight on par with his Raikage brother, A.
More important than Killer B's immense fighting prowess was the simple fact that he understood Naruto's nature as a jinchuriki even better than Kakashi or Jiraiya did. Killer B had been using Gyuki's power since before Naruto was ever born, so he made sure to coach Naruto in the ways of taming a tailed beast. This paid off handsomely in time for Naruto to face his strongest foes yet Shippuden.
Madara Uchiha required immense chakra and strength to fight an army solo
He also got his hands on the Ten-Tails' Power
Like his rival Hashirama, the legendary ninja Madara Uchiha commanded an impressive store of chakra to great effect. He may not have been a jinchuriki or a superhuman shark, but Madara knew how to combine massive chakra with some of the scariest jutsu around. For starters, Madara was able to fuel his Mangekyo Sharingan to make a truly terrifying Susano'o, and that's just the beginning.

Madara was also able to use his raw physical strength and chakra to fight an entire ninja coalition army all by himself, a feat no other Uchiha could have accomplished. To raise the stakes even more, Madara threw around Hashirama's Wood Release jutsu as he fought his strongest foes, then upped the stakes once more. Madara's chakra became truly incredible when he became Ten-Tails' jinchuriki, allowing the power scaling to reach its endgame.
Kisame Hoshigaki has been called the Tailless Biju
Kisame relies on Brute Power to win fights
The members of the Akatsuki gang used unusual jutsu and attributes to fight, ranging from Sasori's puppet body to Konan's paper jutsu and even Hidan's immortality. Another memorable asset of the Akatsuki was also the simplest: Kisame Hoshigaki's superhuman strength. In contrast to his partner Itachi Uchiha's tricky jutsu and genjutsu, Kisame was all about power and direct attacks. To that end, he commanded an entire ocean of chakra within himself, and he was able to gain even more with Samehada's hungry mouth.
It's no wonder Kisame was called the tailless bijuu, seeing how he could fight any enemy with the same monstrous stamina that most jinchuriki are capable of. Kisame showed this when he was pitted against his enemy Might Guy Naruto Shippudenusing endless chakra to push Might Guy while he heals himself. Kisame was even able to repair life-ending damage in seconds with Samehada's help before releasing his shark-man form to continue the fight well past the point anyone else would have collapsed.
Naruto Uzumaki is the most powerful Jinchuriki with enormous chakra
That chakra made Naruto the #1 Ninja of his time
One of the greatest chakra practitioners of all Naruto is the protagonist himself, Naruto Uzumaki. At first Naruto relied more on pranks and teamwork to fight, but even in the early days there were signs of his titanic chakra. The very first episode/chapter showed Naruto making over a hundred shadow clones at once, which only a jinchuriki like him could do. Other ninjas could most likely only create a few solid clones of themselves at a time.
Over time, Naruto learned to understand and use his immense chakra thanks to his strange partnership with Kurama, the nine-tailed fox. Kurama went from something to fear to a partner to use, and that's how Naruto found the chakra to summon Gamabunta, fight pain, and achieve other great feats. At the end of the game Naruto Shippudenthe power scaling was such that Kurama's chakra was only enough to keep Naruto in the fight, not necessarily ensure his victory.
