7 Most Powerful Jinchuriki in Naruto, Ranked

In the world of Naruto, being a jinchuriki – someone who hosts a powerful tailed beast – is a double-edged sword. While it grants incredible power, it also leads to fear and prejudice. However, this doesn’t diminish the fact that jinchuriki are incredibly strong, particularly when they develop a strong connection with the beast inside them.

Naruto Uzumaki demonstrates how a strong connection with a Tailed Beast, like Kurama, can lead to incredible power. While he’s one of the few jinchuriki to reach this level of understanding with their beast, it doesn’t mean others aren’t also powerful in their own right.

Because Himawari Uzumaki is now shown to be a direct vessel for the Nine-Tails, similar to how Jura is for the younger Ten-Tails, she isn’t included in this list, even though she actually connects with Kurama better than Naruto does.

Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto Unlocked Baryon Mode

Tailed Beast: Kurama (Nine-Tails)

Naruto Uzumaki is widely considered the most powerful jinchuriki in the Naruto series. Though some fans debate whether he’s the greatest shinobi ever – often comparing him to Sasuke Uchiha – his accomplishments and incredible strength during the Fourth Great Ninja War, when things looked dire, firmly establish him as one of the best.

Naruto had an incredible amount of power, stemming from the Sage of Six Paths, the Truth-Seeking Orbs, and the chakra of all nine Tailed Beasts. It was a level of strength almost no one could fully understand.

Adding to its incredible power, Naruto Uzumaki has a mode called Baryon Mode. This allows him to combine his own life energy with the Nine-Tailed Fox, Kurama, giving him immense strength – enough to seriously challenge even the powerful Isshiki Otsutsuki. The deep connection between Naruto and Kurama allowed them to fight with perfect teamwork, something no other host and tailed beast have achieved.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki

Hagoromo Divided the Tailed Beasts

Tailed Beast: Ten-Tails

Hagoromo Otsutsuki, also known as the Sage of Six Paths, was the very first person to use ninjutsu. He became a host to the immense power of the Ten Tails, saving humanity from destruction. Even while battling an illness, Hagoromo was incredibly powerful – he could effortlessly slice through meteors as if they were small stones.

Hagoromo then used his Creation of All Things technique to split the Ten Tails’ chakra, creating nine powerful creatures known as the Tailed Beasts. He released them into the world, hoping they would eventually unite and work together harmoniously.

Madara Uchiha

Overwhelmed Naruto and Sasuke

Tailed Beast: Ten-Tails

Given Madara Uchiha’s immense power, it’s not shocking he could control the Tailed Beasts. Nor is it surprising that he became a jinchuriki during the war.

Madara is an incredibly powerful character in Naruto. Even without the full power of the Ten Tails, he’s a formidable opponent. He famously battled the entire Shinobi Alliance, secretly controlled Obito, and easily overpowered Naruto and Sasuke with devastating techniques like Limbo and Infinite Tsukuyomi, making him almost unbeatable.

Strip him of the power of the Ten Tails, yet Madara remains a nightmare for any opponent.

Obito Uchiha

Gained All-Powerful Black Orbs

Tailed Beast: Ten-Tails

Obito Uchiha became a host for the Ten Tails, which greatly increased his strength, speed, healing, and senses. Although he’s famous for his Kamui ability, becoming a host for the Ten Tails actually prevented him from using it.

Despite everything, when Obito became the host of the Ten Tails, he proved more powerful than even Hashirama Senju. He used special orbs called Truth-Seeking Balls, which allowed him to recreate almost anything – even legendary items like Hagoromo’s staff and sword. Essentially, those ten black orbs gave him incredible, god-like abilities and control.

Minato Namikaze

Instantly Harnessed the Nine-Tails’ Power

Tailed Beast: Kurama (Nine-Tails)

Most fans of the series are familiar with Minato Namikaze, the late father of Naruto Uzumaki and the Fourth Hokage. He’s famous for sealing half of the Nine-Tailed Fox inside his newborn son, Naruto, and for inventing the incredibly powerful Flying Raijin technique, which Boruto Uzumaki, his grandson, later adapted and used in his own way.

Minato was an incredibly powerful ninja in the world of Naruto, famous for his lightning-fast speed and quick reactions. He was also a brilliant strategist, and these skills combined earned him the nickname “Yellow Flash.”

While he held the power of the Nine-Tails sealed inside him, he was exceptionally strong and could immediately activate the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. Even though he wasn’t a permanent host, he learned to control a lot of the Nine-Tails’ power, allowing him to create powerful energy spheres and even form chakra arms.

Killer B

Killer B Is In Perfect Sync With Hachibi

Tailed Beast: Gyuki (Eight-Tails)

Similar to Naruto, Killer B shares a strong connection with the Eight-Tailed Beast, allowing him to fight with it without fear of losing control. This makes him a uniquely skilled jinchuriki, capable of switching effortlessly between his full Tailed Beast Mode and partial transformations whenever he chooses.

Killer B is famous for his unique rapping in Naruto, but his use of the Eight-Tailed Beast’s power is also incredibly memorable. He could quickly fire powerful energy blasts while simultaneously creating dangerous tornadoes with the beast’s tentacles, instantly transforming any fight into a wild and unpredictable storm.

Yagura

Yagura Is a Perfect Jinchuriki

Tailed Beast: Isobu (Three-Tails)

Yagura appears on this list because he was a uniquely skilled jinchuriki. He mastered control over the Three Tails, Isobu, without needing to form a bond with the beast. This allowed him to freely shift between partial transformations and fully becoming the Tailed Beast, and to create incredibly powerful Tailed Beast Bombs. Like other jinchuriki, his overall abilities were also significantly enhanced.

I’m fascinated by Yagura! Even without the Three-Tails power, he was an incredibly talented ninja. It’s amazing he became Mizukage so young, though it’s a really sad period in history, and his time as leader isn’t exactly celebrated. One thing that really stands out is his Coral Palm technique – it’s awesome! He can use it while in his jinchuriki form, and basically make coral grow anywhere to trap his opponents. It’s such a cool and effective ability!
