One of the most incredible duos that fans got to see Naruto series was the of Pain and the Wife. As at the helm of the Akatsuki, Pain and Konan had an enormous amount of power at their disposal. They didn't move until the time to capture the Nine-Tails came. Pain and Konan personally led the invasion of Konoha, and it was truly an incredibly exciting battle to watch.

Together they wreaked havoc on an entire village, almost wiping it out. Pain and Konan were not only an effective duo but also comrades growing up together in a war-torn country. Together they sought peace for the whole world, no matter how they went about it. Pain and Konan made a brilliant team, and their strength was also absolutely incredible.

Ay and Bee

In the land of lightning, Kumogakure has often given birth to some of the most powerful duos in history. Usually these duos come in the form of Ay and Bee. Known to be the fourth Raikage of the village, Lightning Ay chose Killer Bee as his partner at a very young age. Since then, these two have grown together in terms of power.

Lightning Ay's chakra itself was comparable to that of a tailed beast, and Killer B, being the perfect Jinchuriki of Gyuki, complemented him in ways ninjas couldn't even imagine. Together, they could take down even the most vicious of Akatsuki's members, and that just goes to show how dangerous this duo truly was. It's unfortunate that they never went out as a duo in the story, but regardless, their teamwork proved to be off the charts when they combined their strength against Kisame.

Itachi and Kisame

Akatsuki operated in pairs, and everyone had decent chemistry with each other. It goes without saying that the duo of Itachi and Kisame was extremely special. At first these two barely knew each other, but over time Kisame began to understand Itachi more and vice versa. Kisame's strength was incredible in battle, and even a Kage would struggle in battle against him.

Likewise, Itachi was at an even higher level of strength, and these two even sparred together in their spare time. Working together, they can even take down the most powerful Jinchuriki or destroy an entire country. Kisame and Itachi were one of the deadliest duos that Kishimoto gave to fans in history.

Itachi and Sasuke

Itachi and Sasuke were always incredibly close until the former annihilated the Uchiha clan. After Sasuke found out the truth about the clan, they got another chance to join forces in the Fourth Great Ninja War. This duo was seen at the peak of their powers in the battle against Kabuto, and it goes without saying that this was a sight to behold.

Itachi and Sasuke combined brilliantly in battle, showing each other how far they had taken their skills. With their effort, the shinobi world got rid of the impure world reincarnation for good, and it was a huge contribution in the war.

Hashirama and Tobirama

Kakashi and Guy

  • Affiliation: Konohagakure

One of the most iconic duos to emerge from Hidden Leaf Village is that of Might Guy and Kakashi Hatake. In terms of talent, this duo couldn't be further apart. While Kakashi was born a genius ninja, Might Guy lacked talent but made up for it with incredible hard work. This is precisely why they complement each other as well as they do.

Over the years, their rivalry pushed the other person to the next level, and by the time of the Fourth Great Ninja War, they were both Kage-level ninjas who went on to reach levels even further beyond. Together with their full power, Might Guy and Kakashi can destroy an entire nation. Their strength far surpasses Akatsuki's and can even match monsters like the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki among others. It's a duo that never really got a chance to shine properly, but one that fans hold very dear to their hearts.

Madara and Obito

Madara Uchiha and Obito form one of the deadliest duos fans have ever seen Naruto series. Madara was the one who saved Obito from certain death in the Third Great Ninja War and then went on to raise him, instilling in him every bit of knowledge he had of jutsu, and starting the plan for the Eye of the Moon. Obito went on to attain great strength over the next few years and even managed to start the Fourth Great Ninja War himself.

After Madara was brought back, these two teamed up again and showed the world what true strength looked like. This Uchiha duo was incredibly dangerous, and their strength was such that hardly anyone could stand in their way. Eventually, however, they were taken down by the Shinobi Alliance.

Naruto and Sasuke

  • Affiliation: Konohagakure

Undoubtedly the best duo overall Naruto series is that of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. These two grew up hating each other, but at the same time formed a bond of brotherhood that was forged through the many battles they participated in. Naruto and Sasuke have put their lives on the line for each other on countless occasions. Through their rivalry, they have also managed to push each other to the next level.

In the Fourth Great Ninja War, they fought together once more and saved the entire world. Even though Naruto and Sasuke were on opposite ends in the final battle of the series, it only served to increase their understanding of each other and made their bond even stronger. This duo is not only the best in Naruto, but one of the most iconic in the entire world of anime and manga.
