This version keeps the original’s structure and style while making it more accessible and easy to read for a wider audience.

8. Boruto Uzumaki

A Kid With No Struggles Somehow Becomes Incredibly Powerful In No Time

Debut: The Last: Naruto the Movie

Boruto, a character from Naruto, is often subject to strong opinions, as some viewers feel his abilities are primarily unmerited. However, he has grown into one of the show’s strongest characters, excelling in a distinctive version of the Rasengan and skillfully employing his Jogan.

It’s quite remarkable to witness how skilled Boruto proves to be in combat, considering many fans of Naruto are accustomed to protagonists earning their abilities through rigorous training rather than inheriting them. Unlike Naruto, who always had to push himself to improve his powers, Boruto’s natural talent makes some of his power-ups appear a tad too effortless at times.

7. Hinata Hyuga

Became Ridiculously Powerful In The Last: Naruto The Movie

Debut: Enter: Naruto Uzumaki! (Episode 1 of Naruto)

Despite Hinata demonstrating proficiency with the Byakugan, it’s clear that compared to others, she has been relatively weaker in terms of raw power. She showed great bravery when shielding Naruto from Pain, but came close to losing her life due to being overpowered.

In “The Last: Naruto the Movie,” Hinata gained sufficient power to battle alongside Naruto against a formidable Otsutsuki clan member. This display was quite thrilling, though some viewers felt her sudden surge in strength lacked adequate justification and came as something of a shock.

6. Choji Akimichi

Initially Seems Like A Comic Relief Character Before Eventually Showing What He’s All About

Debut: “Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!” (Episode 1 of Naruto)

Initially, it might seem like Choji is just the target for all the jokes and a character obsessed with food. But author Kishimoto adds depth to this figure by depicting him as self-aware of his weaknesses and constantly striving to surpass them.

Despite suffering a humiliating loss during the Chunin Exams, Choji repeatedly demonstrates his valor by participating in tough battles, revealing his extraordinary might. Such instances are delightful to observe, positioning him as the formidable force within the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

5. Danzo Shimura

The Old Man Literally Has Some Tricks Up His Sleeve

Debut: “Return of the Kazekage” (Episode 32 of Naruto: Shippuden)

For quite some period, numerous Naruto enthusiasts speculated that the Konoha Council members were more intellectually capable than physically strong. Given Danzo hadn’t been involved in any significant battle prior to his encounter with Sasuke, it’s understandable why viewers might think he lacked fighting prowess.

In this instance, Danzo unveils his fixation on the Sharingan, replacing his right arm with these eyes to employ the potent Izanagi technique, enabling him to endure fatal strikes repeatedly. Despite displaying a formidable battle performance, he ultimately succumbed due to underestimating Sasuke’s ferocity. He remained defiant until his final moments.

4. Mitsuki

Powerful Enough To Take Out His Sensei And Whip Out Numerous Bags Of Tricks

Debut: Boruto: Naruto the Movie

In the anime titled Boruto, certain characters exhibit an extraordinarily high level of power, and Mitsuki is no exception to this rule. This enigmatic character, being Orochimaru’s child, possesses the unique ability to tap into Sage Mode at a tender age, effortlessly defeating numerous strong ninja without appearing to exert much effort.

His ability to defeat Shino in combat clearly demonstrates the immense strength hidden within this character. It’s astonishing to think such a youthful ninja could be so powerful, yet Naruto continues to astound viewers with even greater surprises.

3. Konohamaru Sarutobi

The Brat Turns Into A Competent Jonin And Has Numerous Powerful Jutsu To Rely On

Debut: “My Name is Konohamaru!” (Episode 2 of Naruto)

In the popular series Naruto, Konohamaru stands out as one of the most captivating characters. Initially portrayed as a spoiled rich kid with a streak of rebellion similar to Naruto, their relationship evolves into a mentorship. As Konohamaru masters the Rasengan technique and matures into a capable Jonin, his character development becomes quite interesting.

Over time, even though he didn’t often get the chance to show off his skills (except for one Rasengan against Pain), Konohamaru gradually developed into a powerful and capable ninja by the arrival of Boruto. Some might find this transformation surprising, but it mirrors the unexpected growth Naruto experienced before his power enhancements.

2. Haku

Appearances Can Be Deceiving, And He Is A Fine Example Of This

Debut: Kakashi: Sharingan Warrior! (Episode 9 of Naruto)

Initially, Naruto thought Haku was an ordinary citizen when they first met due to his kind demeanor, which seemed incongruous with the idea of a fierce warrior. But as they clashed with Zabuza and his masked comrade in battle, Naruto gradually recognized that this individual was none other than the one who had assisted him during his rigorous training sessions.

In a twist of events, Haku’s unique abilities ensnared both Naruto and Sasuke, launching a series of severe attacks upon them which left Sasuke unconscious. If Naruto hadn’t suddenly tapped into Kurama’s powers at that critical juncture, it would have been Haku who emerged triumphant against these promising genin.

1. Tobi

The Goofiest Member Of The Akatsuki Ends Up Being The Reason Why The Fourth Shinobi World War Begins

Debut: “Return of the Kazekage” (Episode 32 of Naruto: Shippuden)

In the Naruto series, the Akatsuki is known as one of the formidable groups, filled with exceptionally powerful ninja. It’s surprising, then, to encounter a character who seems more suited for comedic relief, appearing weak and incapable during battles, among such a formidable team.

It’s understandable that viewers were taken aback when they discovered this character possessed a Sharingan and could effortlessly dodge any attack thanks to its abilities. This unexpected skill added a lot of suspense throughout the series, with even Kakashi expressing shock when Tobi was finally unveiled, revealing Obito Uchiha as the mastermind behind the Fourth Shinobi World War.
