Top 10 Strongest Naruto Clans
Naruto is packed with powerful clans that have shaped the world of ninjas for generations. From those who wield terrifying Kekkei Genkai abilities to clans known for their fierce warriors or mastery of specific jutsu, these family lineages have produced some of the most iconic and legendary shinobi.When we talk about strength in the Naruto universe, it isn't just about raw power. These clans hold a unique influence over the ninja world, thanks to their contributions in battle, strategic prowess, and the unique abilities passed down through their bloodlines. Some are revered for their mastery of chakra control, while others are feared for their destructive techniques or the near god-like abilities they've cultivated.
This list is all about showcasing which clans you think deserve to be recognized as the strongest. Maybe it's because of their long history of powerful shinobi, or maybe it's the specific jutsu they've developed that gives them an edge. You get to decide which ones rank at the top.
Anyone who obtains the Mangekyō Sharingan (MS) is automatically one of the most powerful people of their time. True, only a handful of members achieve greatness, but that could be said about any clan. Also, anyone who says they are weak because Itachi killed them should remember the four strongest members at the time were Fugaku, Obito, Itachi, and Shisui. Two of them were fighting against the clan, Shisui was dead, and Fugaku didn't really seem to fight back. It was high tier versus everyone else, and the high tier had the element of surprise as well. That would be a death sentence to any clan.
The Uchiha have the cool factor, yes, but add up the wins and losses, and it's the Senju clan. Also, I sort of just roll the Uzumaki clan into the Senju clan.
Senju means "the clan with a thousand techniques/skills." This shows how many different jutsu they have in their arsenal. Even the Uchiha clan can't keep up with the Senju's techniques, and they're not able to use the Sharingan to copy their jutsu. Also, the Senju don't have just one particular dojutsu or jutsu. They have many. This shows that the Senju's jutsu cannot be anticipated.
In addition, Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of the Naruto franchise, doesn't show the full extent of the Senju's power, as he mainly focuses on the Uchiha's jutsu, dojutsu, and their troubled past.
Finally, the ninja of the Senju are just stupefying and unique, such as Hashirama, Tobirama, Butsuma, Tsunade, Toka, Nawaki, and partially Naruto. The Uzumaki and Senju clans are related by blood and ancestry due to the marriage of Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki. This means the Uzumaki are part of the Senju, so their techniques were shared. The Senju are the strongest!
Honestly, sealing jutsu turns out to be much more powerful than just attacks. That's one of the main reasons the Uzumaki clan was so feared. The Reaper Death Seal is one example, and the Catastrophic Planetary Destruction Sealing is another. The Uzumaki clan's specialty was sealing, and they were exterminated because the other lands feared them too much. The other lands didn't fear the Uchiha or the Senju enough to join forces and wipe them out.
The Uzumaki clan also seems to have way too much chakra, for instance, Naruto, Kushina, Karin, and Nagato. The Uchiha clan is great, but to be fair, the Uzumaki were much more powerful.
Hiruzen was one of the best Hokage who took the use of Orochimaru's hands after defeating the First and Second Hokage. Konohamaru learned the Rasengan at a younger age than Naruto. Asuma taught Ino-Shika-Chō and was a temple guard for the Daimyo. Should I go on? It's pretty obvious the Sarutobi clan is OP.
Geez, 8%? I thought it could be at least 10% or something, but I guess it's okay. Also, I LOVE Hinata. She is so kind, caring, shy, and strong. And she doesn't give up. She even wanted to die for Naruto when he was fighting Pain. So, yeah, #ILoveHinata.
They are too underestimated. The Uchihas were over-developed, and Kishimoto forgot about the Hyugas. It's funny to think that in the Classic, the Byakugan and Sharingan were described as equivalent.
I agree with you, but they have many good qualities. One bad one is family relationships. But the Byakugan and Eight Trigrams are pretty OP.
Nara clan for life. I mean, we're smarter than you and have shadow possession, so yeah...
They are the smartest in the lead, not to mention their shadow possession.
Seriously, I mean, they are the gods. They defeated Kaguya. They don't have to wave hands or make signs for jutsu. He was the first who possessed the Rinnegan. He was the one who got sage powers first. And all clans are his children or pupils' descendants.
Don't they have the Ten Tails? Which makes them the most powerful. Also, Kaguya had to be taken down by Naruto and Sasuke (also with the help of Kakashi and Sakura). They deserve to be on top.
All of them could whoop Sasuke and Itachi's asses, I mean, come on. Most couldn't beat Madara and Obito, but still, they're the founders of chakra, the gods of shinobi.
No one has ever seen such a clan. Anyone can steal a Sharingan, and anyone can have Hashirama's cells, but no one can copy them.
They're really badass and strong. It's like Gaara's sand, but it's a Kekkei Genkai, and you can make it stronger, among other things.
Great variety of insects that can accomplish many things. Also, nano-sized, venomous insects.
Mind body switch. That's all I have to say.
The Inuzuka clan has their own unique jutsu, and their relationship with canines makes their advantages and success high.
The Newcomers
They should've been over the top 10 because they're known for speed despite the small size of the group. Some members of the clan are technically said to be top-level Jonin.
They live the life. The more fat they are, the more powerful they are, unlike Sasha over there.
Sakumo Hatake was the White Fang of Konoha and a hero of the Second Shinobi World War. It's said that he overshadowed the Sannin: Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya. That means the leader of the Hatake clan was said to overshadow the Fifth Hokage, an S-Rank missing-nin, and a Sage Mode user. This is without mentioning Kakashi Hatake, who was the sensei of Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura, a Jounin at 12, an Anbu at 13, and the Sixth Hokage. Let's face it, this clan is awesome.
Kakashi was stronger than Itachi. He joined the black ops by the age of 8, and Itachi at 12-13. Also, he was the wisest Hokage. He mastered the Sharingan without being an Uchiha. So please, give the Hatake clan a chance.
Kimimaro carries this entire clan, he's OP! Everyone else, though, they were all killed by the Mist.
Kimimaro and his useful spine.
Their bones are way too OP. Imagine if they were a principal clan in the anime?
They have water release. Haku was special because he could use ice, but everyone in his clan hated him for it and wanted him dead.
Mangetsu and Suigetsu are prime examples of side characters that most people loved. There's no way their clan should be this low on the list.
Suigetsu and Mangetsu - the water guys with big swords. Don't forget Gengetsu, the Mizukage with the weird mustache.
I mean, they can turn themselves into smoke.
They can turn themselves into smoke.
