Naruto: 8 Characters That Have Defeated A Tailed Beast

Tailed Beasts are incredibly powerful creatures made of pure energy, originally created by the ancient sage Hagoromo Otsutsuki. He split the power of the original Ten Tails into nine separate beings. These beasts are so strong they could obliterate a country almost instantly, leading nations to try and capture them as devastating weapons. While the Naruto series features many strong characters, only a select few have actually defeated these formidable beasts in combat. This details who has managed to accomplish that incredible feat.

8. Madara Uchiha

Defeated: All Nine Tailed Beasts

As a huge fan, I have to say Madara is just unbelievably powerful! He’s among the strongest characters, period. Seriously, the things he’s done are legendary – like actually controlling the Nine-Tails and using it in battle! Remember his fight with Hashirama? That was insane. And it gets even better – he single-handedly captured all the Tailed Beasts during the Great War. It’s just mind-blowing how strong he is!

7. Third Raikage

Defeated: Eight-Tails

The Raikage is the leader of the Hidden Cloud Village, and most of them are naturally strong and have a lot of chakra. The Third Raikage, in particular, was famous throughout the ninja world for his immense strength and ability to defend against attacks. He famously single-handedly fought off an entire army and defeated the rampaging Eight-Tails beast that was attacking his village.

6. Hashirama Senju

Defeated: All Tailed Beasts

Everyone in the ninja world knows the name Hashirama. I’ve heard stories about his incredible Wood Style technique – it was said to be the most powerful ability around. What really stood out was how easily he could control the Tailed Beasts. He could defeat them all by himself, even the incredibly powerful Nine-Tails, without needing any assistance. It was a truly remarkable feat.

5. Sasuke Uchiha

Defeated: All Nine Tailed Beasts

By the end of the series, Sasuke had become incredibly powerful. He gained a wide range of new abilities from the Sage of Six Paths, significantly boosting both his physical strength and his mastery of genjutsu. He became so skilled with genjutsu that he could control all nine Tailed Beasts simultaneously, even without making eye contact – a feat that astonished even the legendary God of Shinobi.

4. Deidara

Defeated: One Tail

Deidara was a powerful fighter capable of competing with anyone. His initial fight against Gaara was incredibly challenging, a true clash between offensive power and strong defense. Ultimately, Deidara emerged victorious, though Gaara made the ultimate sacrifice to protect his village.

3. Pain

Defeated: Six Tails

Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki, is considered one of the best villains in the series. Initially presented as an enigma, he quickly proved to be a powerful fighter, easily overcoming a strong host of the tailed beast. Their battle was swift, with Pain launching a surprise attack and capturing the beast through force. Even while weakened, Pain maintained control over the beast for a considerable time during their fight.

2. Kisame Hoshigaki

Defeated: Eight-Tails

Kisame, known as the “Tailless Tailed Beast,” was a formidable opponent, even earning the respect of Itachi Uchiha. He was a powerful fighter who bravely challenged a tailed beast and cleverly won the battle. Thanks to his immense chakra, Kisame could fight for an extended period and ultimately defeated his opponent – Killer B, a Perfect Jinchuriki.

1. Obito Uchiha

Defeated: Nine-Tails

I still get chills thinking about the night Naruto was born. That’s when Obito, pretending to be Madara Uchiha, launched his attack! He actually kidnapped Kushina, Naruto’s mom, and used her as a catalyst to release the Nine-Tails on the Hidden Leaf. It was terrifying – he fully controlled the beast! Even Minato, the Fourth Hokage, was completely fooled by Obito’s disguise and was shocked by his power, genuinely believing he was fighting Madara. It was a devastating battle, one that tragically cost the village its Hokage and left Naruto an orphan. It really set the stage for everything that followed.
