Naruto: Kishimoto Officially Confirms The Most Overpowered Kekkei Genkai

by

This article contains spoilers from the Naruto series.

The Naruto series has introduced some truly astonishing abilities over time, with Kekkei Genkai being one of them. For those familiar with the series, you may already know that these are extraordinary abilities only accessible to specific individuals due to their inherited lineage.

In certain instances, these abilities are unique to particular individuals. Some Kekkei Genkai are born from the fusion of two elemental natures, while others manifest as Dojutsu or other special powers. Over time, Kishimoto has skillfully broadened the concept of Kekkei Genkai, exploring both its strongest and weakest forms. According to Masashi Kishimoto himself, the most powerful Kekkei Genkai is the Rinnegan, a legendary eye that only a select few have possessed in the Naruto universe, including characters like Madara Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha.

The Rinnegan Is Officially The Most Overpowered Kekkei Genkai In Naruto

The Eye Offers Power Over Life And Death

  • Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan
  • Sasuke gained it in the Fourth Great Ninja War

In the realm of Naruto, among all the unique abilities known as Kekkei Genkai, none shines brighter than the Rinnegan. Essentially, we can refer to the Rinnegan as a divine Kekkei Genkai, held by very few individuals. Legends suggest that when significant upheavals occur in the world, an individual blessed with the Rinnegan emerges. This individual has the power to either instigate profound peace or catastrophic destruction.

The Rinnegan is a unique eye found in the Naruto universe and can only be obtained by merging the chakra of Indra Otsutsuki and Asura Otsutsuki within an individual.

Embracing my inner anime fan,

“Oh man, you know, this special energy center, or chakra, is where the Rinnegan originates – but only if you’ve already got the Sharingan going for you! Now, Madara Uchiha, he managed to unlock his Rinnegan by doing something pretty extreme: stealing some of Hashirama’s actual flesh and integrating it into his own body! Incredible, right?

But here’s another mind-blowing tale – Sasuke Uchiha, he got himself the Rinnegan during the epic Fourth Great Ninja War. How did he do it, you ask? By meeting the Sage of Six Paths and scoring a portion of his powers – talk about a level up!

Regarding the astonishing capabilities of the Rinnegan, let me put it this way: This extraordinary eye grants its bearer a remarkable array of abilities called the Six Paths Powers. With this eye, one can summon formidable indestructible beasts, extract chakra from others, manufacture mechanical weapons, read minds, tear out souls, and manipulate gravity at will. Furthermore, the user of the Rinnegan has the ability to employ the Outer Path, which governs life and death and even resurrects individuals.

Tenseigan Is Yet Another Powerful Kekkei Genkai

Awakens Only In A Select Few

In the Naruto universe, there’s another remarkable ability known as the Tenseigan. Unlike other Kekkei Genkai, this one is awakened by a select elite, such as Toneri Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki. The Tenseigan shares some similarities with the Rinnegan but doesn’t possess all its abilities. However, those who wield it can activate the Tenseigan chakra mode, significantly increasing their power. As many Naruto fans are aware, this mode also allows the creation of devastating weaponry capable of annihilating entire planets.
