The Strongest Characters Who Have Never Fought Naruto

Summary

• Naruto is one of the most powerful characters in the series due to his immense power-ups.
• Fans dream of Naruto engaging in battles with other strong characters like Hashirama and Minato.
• Characters like Guy, Hiruzen, and Tsunade could push Naruto to his limits in a hypothetical battle.

Naruto is an anime series fans love, with the protagonist transforming from an annoying brute reviled by the village into a powerful Hokage everyone trusts. The sheer amount of power Naruto wields by the end of the series makes him one of the strongest characters in the series by a country mile.

Given his heroic status, it’s easy to see why he hasn’t duked it out with every powerful ninja in the series. However, fans would love to see these dream matches just to see how Naruto’s fantasy opponents deal with his relentless assault.

Hashirama Senju

The First Hokage Who’s An Absolute Beast

• Debut: Village in Distress: A New A-Ranked Mission! (Episode 69 of Naruto)

It’s made clear from the get-go that Hashirama is no joke. Despite being rather goofy, he’s one of the most powerful ninja of all time, and he beat Madara in his prime.

While he and Naruto will never cross paths in a serious fight, fans can’t help but wonder how things would’ve panned out had they engaged in a serious battle. It’ll be a closely fought contest, there’s no doubt about that.

Minato Namikaze

Naruto’s Father Is A Powerful Hokage

• Debut: Enter: Naruto Uzumaki! (Episode 1 of Naruto)

Naruto’s father is one of the fastest shinobi in the Leaf who used his brains and speed to overpower his opposition. To this day, his Rasengan against Tobi was an amazing moment that showed just how swift this ninja was on his feet.

It’s only a given that Naruto will never fight his father at any moment, but this confrontation is fun to picture. Both fighters will spend a long time reading each other before any significant damage can be dealt, given the high battle IQ of both combatants.

6

Might Guy

Shows His Power By Almost Killing Madara In His Strongest Form

• Debut: Identify Yourself: Powerful New Rivals (Episode 21 of Naruto)

Might Guy is arguably the strongest taijutsu user in the series. By opening all Eight Gates, Guy was ready to sacrifice himself if it meant that he could take out Madara in his strongest form.

Thankfully, Naruto brought him back from the brink of death, but his leg was damaged to the point where he couldn’t stand on his own in battle anymore. If not for this debilitating injury, fans can’t help but wonder how a sparring session between him and Naruto would pan out.

5

Hagoromo Otsutsuki

The Sage Of Six Paths Is No Joke

• Debut: Two-Man Team (Episode 329 of Naruto: Shippuden)

Hagoromo is the strongest ninja in Naruto and is directly responsible for giving Naruto and Sasuke the tools they needed to take out Madara. It’s a shame that Hagoromo didn’t get to display his skills in a major battle, but he doesn’t need to prove anything at this point.

Naruto will pretty much be fodder when compared to Hagoromo’s godlike power. However, that won’t stop fans from dreaming of a clash between these two powerful ninja as they bring their A-game.

4

Tobirama Senju

Created Some Of The Most Powerful Jutsu In Naruto

• Debut: Village in Distress: A New A-Ranked Mission! (Episode 69 of Naruto)

Kishimoto quickly realized that Tobirama was being overshadowed by his older brother. To make up for this, it was revealed that he’s created some of the most powerful jutsu in the series, such as the Shadow Clone Technique and Edo Tensei, to name a few.

This makes it clear that he’s a smart fighter who lacks the compassion of his brother. This would make him deadly in a battle against Naruto, although most people feel comfortable saying that the Seventh would beat the Second in battle after a bit of effort.

3

Hiruzen Sarutobi

Held His Own Against The First Two Hokage And Still Managed To Fend Off Orochimaru’s Assault

• Debut: Enter: Naruto Uzumaki! (Episode 1 of Naruto)

While the Third Hokage died rather unimpressively in the series, fans must keep in mind that he fended off the threat of both the First and Second Hokage all by his lonesome before eventually diverting his attention to Orochimaru.

At full power, he’ll push Naruto to his very limit. The Seventh Hokage will have to pull out his strongest techniques to increase his chances of winning a battle against a full-strength Hiruzen.

2

Tsunade Senju

Her Brute Strength Makes Her A Force To Be Reckoned With

• Debut: Jiraiya: Naruto’s Potential Disaster! (Episode 83 of Naruto)

Tsunade is a brutal fighter with incredible healing jutsu, ensuring that both her attacking and defensive powers are on a whole new level. So, it’s a shame that she’s never won a battle outright in the series, which does a huge disservice to her character.

While she may not be as strong as Naruto, this doesn’t mean that she won’t be competitive in a battle against the Seventh. Naruto may emerge victorious, but he might have to nurse a few broken bones after this encounter.

1

Onoki

The Third Tsuchikage Has Some Powerful Kekkei Genkai

• Debut: Enter the Five Kage! (Episode 199 of Naruto: Shippuden)

Out of all the Kage introduced in the Summit, Onoki boasts a unique power that makes him a force to be reckoned with. Dust Release is no joke and can obliterate its target in a flash if Onoki’s opponent isn’t careful.

While he may be way past his prime by the time he’s introduced, fans can rest assured that he was even more of a beast in his youth. A fantasy matchup between Naruto and Onoki in his prime would be a treat to witness, although Naruto might have the winning edge in this hypothetical confrontation.
