Top 5 Characters In ‘Naruto’ Who Can Defeat Tailed Beasts
5. Uchiha Itachi
Itachi was one of the most outstanding characters in the Naruto universe, and the entire series held high regard for his abilities. He had perfect control over his Mangekyo Sharingan and Sharingan, and even while practically blind, he could still overcome any obstacle in his path. Itachi‘s possession of the Mangekyo Sharingan allowed him to command the Nine-Tails’ power easily and compel it to perform his will. However, while healthy, he was still capable of competing with and defeating a perfect Jinchriki and a Tailed Beast in a fight.
4. Might Guy
One of the series’ funniest characters, Might Guy, trained all his life to push his body to the limit. Taijutsu was Guy’s area of expertise. Due to his total mastery of the Eight Inner Gates, Might Guy acquired a strength that was many times higher than that of the Five Kage taken together. Guy fought with Madara Uchiha and almost beat him, even in his Six Paths form, as a demonstration of his strength.
3. Uchiha Madara
One of the main antagonists in the Naruto series as well as one of the strongest Uchiha in the series is Madara Uchiha. He was Hashirama Senju’s rival and the only one qualified to make a legal combat challenge at the time. In the course of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Madara gained access to the Rinnegan and the might of the Ten-Tails. Even without the Rinnegan or the Tailed Beasts, he was able to defeat all nine of them using Limbo.
2. Uchiha Sasuke
Sasuke is the most powerful Uchiha in Naruto, and one of the most powerful characters in the series. Since, he is an Uchiha, he has access to the Sharingan’s power. Hagoromo Otsutsuki has granted him access to the Yin and Rinnegan halves of the Six Paths powers. Throughout the Fourth Great Ninja War, Sasuke had no trouble capturing all nine Tailed Beasts and stealing their chakra. He is definitely more powerful than they are.
1. Uzumaki Naruto
Naruto is the protagonist in the series. In the whole series, he is the strongest known person. He is already far more powerful than every Tailed Beast because he is the ideal Jinchriki of Kurama. Additionally, he possesses all of the other Tailed Beasts’ chakra, giving him incredible power. He has access to the Six Paths powers, just like Sasuke, and when coupled with Sage Mode, he becomes powerful enough to easily take on the Ten-Tails.
