The Strongest Byakugan Users, Ranked

Summary

• Byakugan was nerfed, but the Otsutsuki clan made it relevant.
• Urashiki, a Byakugan user, posed a serious threat to Naruto as a child.
• Momoshiki persisted as a powerful antagonist, implanting his spirit in Boruto.

Fans hate how the Byakugan was nerfed following its impressive debut. It was clear that Kishimoto had a fondness for the Rinnegan and Sharingan, causing these two dojutsu to dominate the majority of Naruto‘s runtime.

Thankfully, the introduction of the Otsutsuki clan has made the Byakugan relevant again. The powerful members of this clan can use the Byakugan to great effect, making them a force to be reckoned with.

Urashiki Otsutsuki

A Low-Ranking Member Of The Otsutsuki Clan

• Debut: Himawari’s Birthday (Episode 53 of Boruto)

Despite being a low-ranking Otsutsuki, it’s amazing just how much power Urashiki wielded. He was a Byakugan user who traveled all the way to the past to steal the Nine-Tails chakra when Naruto was a mere child.

Thankfully, an adult Sasuke and Boruto chased him down and managed to nullify his threat after a major battle. The incredible power he wielded made it clear that Urashiki was no joke and could obliterate his enemies if he made the effort.

Kinshiki Otsutsuki

Aids Momoshiki Every Chance He Gets

• Debut: Boruto: Naruto the Movie

The duo of Kinshiki and Momoshiki served as the antagonists of Boruto: Naruto the Movie. After Sasuke engages in a brief skirmish against the duo, it’s clear that he needs to inform the village about their threat.

Despite boasting a ton of brute force, it was clear that Momoshiki was the brains behind the operation. As a result, he willingly let himself be assimilated by Kinshiki so that his companions could become stronger than ever during the final fight against Naruto and Sasuke.

Toneri Otsutsuki

Developed the Tenseigan And Could’ve Acquired Immense Power If Naruto Hadn’t Stopped Him

• Debut: The Last: Naruto the Movie

Most people feel that Toneri could’ve been one of the most powerful Otsutsuki in the series had his plan come to fruition. As powerful as the Byakugan was, it wasn’t until he acquired an eye from the Hyuga clan that he was able to develop the Tenseigan.

This eye technique allowed him to use Truth-Seeking Balls, unlock a chakra-enhanced transformation, summon golems in battle, and even cause the moon to potentially collide with Earth. If Naruto hadn’t stopped him in the nick of time, then the shinobi world would’ve been toast.

Momoshiki Otsutsuki

His Spirit Remained Alive In Boruto’s Body

• Debut: Boruto: Naruto the Movie

Momoshiki is one of the most fearsome antagonists in the series, and it took the combined might of Naruto and Sasuke to take this foe down. He put up a hellacious fight, and he deserves all the credit in the world for fending off the attacks of the two strongest shinobi in the modern era.

However, he refused to give up after this battle and implanted his spirit in Boruto, allowing him to survive even after his physical body perished. This gave Boruto the power of the Jogan and turned him into Momoshiki’s vessel, who could take over the protagonist’s body whenever he was knocked out.

4

Isshiki Otsutsuki

The Former Leader Of Kara

• Debut: The Cult (Episode 202 of Boruto)

Isshiki Otsutsuki is one of the scariest members of the family, wielding a Byakugan in one eye and the Kokugan in another. This turned him into a force to be reckoned with, forcing Naruto to use Baryon Mode in a bid to even the odds against this foe.

The fact that Naruto had to extinguish Kurama’s Tailed Beast chakra to defeat Isshiki proves just how fearsome his foe was. Before he died, Isshiki decided to bequeath the will of the Otsutsuki clan to Code in one final act of defiance, showing just how strong-willed he was.

3

Hamura Otsutsuki

He And His Descendants Created The Hyuga Clan

• Debut: Eight Gates Released Formation (Episode 420 of Naruto: Shippuden)

Hagoromo’s brother is legendary in his own right, even if he may not have the title of the Sage of the Six Paths. However, Hamura excelled in other departments and was the first member of the Hyuga clan.

His descendants have grown to become one of the most powerful families in the Leaf Village. The sheer impact Hamura had on the ninja world made his impact clear as day, even if he didn’t participate in any battles to show off the wealth of strength he possessed.

2

Kaguya Otsutsuki

The Mother Of Chakra Is Ridiculously Powerful

• Debut: Truth (Episode 458 of Boruto)

The Mother of Chakra went against the rules and ate the fruit of the God Tree, transforming into the series’ first shinobi. She was a power-hungry individual who had to be dealt with by her sons to prevent her reign of terror from starting.

After she was revived at the tail end of Naruto, the protagonist and his best friend had to move heaven and earth to seal her for good. This was a major struggle, and it took immense effort for Team 7 to catch this enemy unawares and finally seal her immense power.

1

Shibai Otsutsuki

Ate Multiple Chakra Fruits And Evolved To Godhood

• Debut: The Domain of Gods (Chapter 75 of Boruto)

If Kaguya became so powerful because she ingested a single chakra fruit from the God Tree, fans can only imagine how strong one would get after eating multiple chakra fruits. This is exactly what Shibai did, causing him to become so powerful that he became a godly figure in the Otsutsuki Clan.

He achieved omnipotence and was able to unleash immense power with a simple wave of his hand. It’s possible that he may come back as the final antagonist in Boruto, making fans wonder how the heroes would deal with the power of an actual god.
