10 Strongest Jutsu In Naruto
10) Chidori
Chidori is one of the strongest lightning style jutsu in ‘Naruto’. It was created by Kakashi Hatake when he tried to apply lightning chakra to the Rasengan. In order to produce a Chidori, the user needs to channel concentrated lightning chakra in their hand. This is not a fancy jutsu, as the user needs to charge their opponent in order to hit them. The user needs to move relatively fast in order to access the Chidori’s maximum damage output, but it causes the user to develop tunnel-like vision while charging. If the attack hits its mark, the Chidori will pierce and cause fatal damage.
9) Ninja Art: Mitotic Regeneration
Medical ninjas are never supposed to fight on the front lines, but there are a few exceptions. Only those who know how to use Mitotic Regeneration are allowed to fight. That is because the jutsu allows the user to forcibly stimulate their body’s cell division by releasing an absurd amount of chakra. While this jutsu is active, the user cannot die because they are capable of healing any injury within seconds. They can even survive being cut in half, as long as their body parts are in close proximity to each other.
8) Susanoo
In ‘Naruto’ many ninjas are capable of summoning powerful creatures to help them in the battle. Susanoo is one such creature. It is created from the user’s chakra. It does their bidding during a fight, whether it be for offensive or defensive purposes. The Susanoo is the strongest ability available to those who have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. In its final form, it becomes a towering colossus that is capable of altering the entire landscape with a single attack.
7) Edo Tensei
There are several jutsu that are considered forbidden, either because they cause the user harm or because they cause immense collateral damage. However, there are other forbidden techniques that simply violate the laws of nature. Edo Tensei is one of these techniques, as it allows the user to reanimate a dead ninja who they can then control. These reanimated ninja cannot be stopped by normal means because their bodies will simply regenerate, even if they suffer complete disintegration. In order to make this summoning work, the user needs to sacrifice a living person.
6) Eight Gates Formation: Gate of Death
The Eight Inner Gates is a special technique used by ninjas who specialize in hand-to-hand combat. In order to access these gates, a ninja needs to remove the chakra limiters that the body naturally sets up, but doing so puts immense strain on the human body. Whenever a ninja opens one of these gates, they become exponentially more powerful. However, they end up tearing their muscles and breaking their bones as they fight. Opening the Eighth Gate allows a ninja to obtain God-level strength for a short time, but doing so ultimately results in the user’s death.
5) Six Paths: Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken
The knuckleheaded ninja is known for using the Rasengan and shadow clones. However, as the series progresses, Naruto also learns to use the Rasenshuriken, Sage Mode, and Tailed-Beast Mode. In his final battle with Sasuke, Naruto combines all of these abilities into a single jutsu called the Six Paths: Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken. He has to create two fully transformed Kurama clones that merge with the original, and this allows him to create one massive Rasenshuriken infused with natural energy, and another made from Tail-Beast chakra.
4) Indra’s Arrow
It was in the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke, Indra’s Arrow was used for the first time by Sasuke. It is still considered to be the strongest jutsu in his arsenal. In order to use this jutsu, Sasuke needs to absorb chakra from every Tailed-Beast. He then has to channel that chakra into a single arrow which he fires from his perfect Susanoo’s longbow.
3) Chibaku Tensei
The Rinnegan offers its user a multitude of powerful abilities, including the Asura path and Deva Path. The Deva Path can repel attacks and call asteroids down from space, but it can also create a miniature moon with Chibaku Tensei. The jutsu starts off as a small black sphere, and when it is thrown into the sky, it begins to attract everything in the surrounding area. This technique is primarily used to trap powerful beings and Tailed-Beasts, but its destructive power is what makes it truly terrifying.
2) Kotoamatsukami
Shisui Uchiha barely appeared in the series, but he was considered to be incredibly powerful because of his Kotoamatsukami. This ocular jutsu allows the user to subtly mind control anyone in their field of vision. The targets are given false experiences in order to make them think that they are doing things of their own free will. This jutsu is powerful enough to free a reanimated ninja from the Edo Tensei’s control. Once it is activated, however, the user cannot use this jutsu for ten years, but that time is drastically reduced if they possess some of the First Hokage’s cells.
1) Infinite Tsukuyomi
In order for the Infinite Tsukuyomi to work, it requires the user’s Rinne Sharingan to be reflected off of the moon’s surface. This genjutsu traps the entire world in a never-ending illusion that feels like a dream world. However, in reality, it drains everyone of their chakra and life energy until they are nothing more than mindless husks.
