3) Onoki
Onoki was the third Tsuchikage and was one of the most powerful fighters in the fifth great Shinobi war.

1) Ao
Ao was a former ninja of the land of the water. He was part of the hunter ninjas who were the right hands of the Mizukage. Ao was a ruthless fighter and he took a Hyuga’s Byakugan which he put in his right eye after defeating him. Ao was thought to be dead by everyone. But in reality, Kara recruited him and modified his body. He turned evil and fought Boruto and his team. Boruto convinced Ao to turn good during their fight. He sacrificed his life trying to save Boruto and was crushed under the boiling toad.
1) Kurama
Kurama was one of the strongest powers in the ‘Naruto’ world. Originally introduced to be ruthless and an antagonist, Kurama became Naruto’s most trusted friend and a brother in the end. Kurama is a tailed beast. He is made purely out of chakra. He died after using the Baryon mode against Jigen. The Baryon mode took up a lot of Kurama’s chakra. Kurama died after exhausting his chakra reserves. As a result, he died and disappeared. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki mentioned in ‘Naruto’ that the tailed beings are chakra-made real, and never truly die. Whenever they seem to die, they get resurrected after some time. In a piece of good news for the ‘Naruto’ fans, it seems like Kurama isn’t dead for real.
