1Sage of the Six Paths

The strongest so far after all he did defeat the legendary 10 tailed beast the jubi and some people call him a god even though he did not create the ninja world they say god himself did and granted humans justs's and years past then the savior rikudo aka sage of the six paths saved the world from the most powerful demon/so powerful it surpassed rikudo so he sealed itM+124

Mean the ssp is kami-like, dude is strongest ninja that ever existed, he created the moon on his deathbed a clear testament of his power, he had the ability to create form from nothingness with a mere thought and then bring it to life (men he can use izanagi without side effects)M+59

So6P could go against everyone on this list and leave each one in a body bag... He was the father of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. That should ring some bells in your damn head...

He was even considered GOD! The one that defeated and broke apart the great Ten Tailed Jubi into Nine other smaller beasts. Naruto has nothing against the REAL Kami!

Hell... I even believe the Sage of Six Paths can whoop Goku and Vegeta! - MeowMixM+42

He is not the father of the First and Madara. They are reincarnations of Asura and Indra.M+14

I got no words but holy god he has the god dam ten tails in him plus truth seeking ballsMnew

2Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto Uzumaki is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Naruto is the strongest ninja he saved saske and sakuras but a lot and has the nine tailed fox in him and can control up to 8 of them only madara and minito were able to control it also naruto can use sage mode and can make over 1000 shadow clones he is stronger than saske when he is in sage mode he can also use rasengan only him minito jaria and kakashi can use itM+151

Naruto is one of the strongest ninja alive along maybe sasuke, madara, and tobi. In four-tailed form he destroyed a fraction of a forest with a wave of a hand. In sage mode he took down someone that annihilated konoha. He broke out of a small moon. In six-tailed form he breaths fire and makes rocks seem like asteroids. His speed is more or the same as his father's, who is as fast as a yellow-flash, making him at the same speed has light Itself! In Tailed Beast Mode he's plenty faster than that, literally meaning faster than the speed of light! He took down 5 biju alone in this mode and 1 tailed beast ball equalized with their's combined. He broke Tobi's mask. Despite Rikudo's power, you gotta gig credit 2 someone faster than the speed of light.M+128

Hey remember that Naruto heals himdself anytime, making him invincible plus he moves at the speed of light now, when he is in bijuu mode of course besides the ninetails now can come out since Naruto bonded with him oh and yes sage mode makes him even more stronger and faster oh man I almost forgot he can use the Rasen Shuriken that can disintegrate anything into particles.M+108

Naruto is not invincible. At the end of the series, he lost his healing power, because it only works if his arm happens to be attached to his body, which it wasn't.M+2

Naruto had to endure so much hardship during his childhood. I bet if anyone else was in his position, then they would've hated Konoha, yet he loved the village. Let's not forget, he is the son of the Yondaime (Minato) and Kushina! To top that off, he himself is the Nanadaime Hokage! There's also his other acheivements too...Mnew

3Madara Uchiha

Uchiha Madara is the 2nd coming of the Sage of the Six Paths! Founder of the Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Wielder of the feared Wood Release, Possessor of the fabled Rinnegan being the only one able to truly awaken it other than the Sage. He can control Kurama with his eyes. He can bring meteorites into the Earth's atmosphere. He survived the fight against Hashirama and still continued to live for another 4 generations. He can take on the 5 Kage on his own. His Susano'o is complete (it has ' legs) and can carve mountains with one wave of its sword. Uchiha Madara blocks bijuudamas with his gunbai. He's unstoppable.M+68

The Best Ninja in Naruto because man he is the leader of uchiha clan and no power can hit him. The first one to posses and control mangeku sarengan.M+29

Madara can summon two FRIKIN island sized ASTEROIDS using his legendary powers and yet it was like nothing to him. Powers like that can destroy anything. Also how he is the leader of the strongest clan in the ninja history. This ninja is crazy powerful for a villain that's why they made him the final villain of Naruto Shippuden but the most evil thing he did after he got reanimated by Kabuto was to DESTROY THE NINJA WORLD which is almost impossible to do but with legendary god like powers it's possible. Making Madara a important and main character to the Naruto seriesM 

No he is worth 2nd place because it if sasuke and naruto together were struggling to defeat he lost only because black zetsu struck him from the back while madara thought that he was his ally but he betrayed him or else naruto and sasuke would never be able to defeat him and he efen had strength and visual powers of the sage of six path he was basically immortalMnew

4Itachi Uchiha

Itachi Uchiha is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Itachi is the strongest because he is Itachi. He has a powerful kekkei genkai's and his genjutsu can easily trap naruto because naruto cannot handle genjutsu of that extreme. Madara was not wanting to tell the Itachi that he knew his history because he was afraid that Itachi would plant Amaterasu in his mouth. Itachi gave Sasuke the Amaterasu with high power such that it would trigger when Tobi(claims to be Madara-but his no proof-as he has not removed his mask)uses his sharingan. He defeated Nagato by himself in the 4th shinobi world war. He also broke free from impure world resurrection(A jutsu of same style as re-animation-but with greater impact as it increases offensiveness and defensiveness)The sage of six paths is also strong and Itachi came from his blood line-but whats weird is like he was the first ninja-weren't their shinobi before him, and in order to be ninja one's parents too must possess such extra-ordinary skill. If Itachi defeated Nagato(Pein/Pain)it is obvious ...moreM+159

In the Chapter 548 its stated he along with Nagato are the most powerful of all Edo Tenseis. That means he is stronger than the Tschikage, Raikage, Hanzo Mizukage, Kazekage and so on. Itachi also defeated Orochimaru twice, the first time without looking and turned his back on him, the second time when he fought against Sasuke a death battle and were worn up it took him minutes to defeat him without get touched. So further Orochimaru, someone who defeated Jiraya tried sneaky tricks to get him because Itachi is far too strong. So the Sanin are no match for him. Itachi also defeated the most powerful enemies with relative ease and not getting injured or even touched, like Deidara, Kakashi, Asuma. With his Sharingan he could take control of peoples, like stated by Ao at long range, he even didn't not to fight directly with someone to win. Everyone says he would lose to Jiraya that's not true he was deep in his heart a full blood Konoha ninja and wanted to protect Konoha from Akatsuki, ...moreM+60

Well itachi never showd us his full power but as he was dieng of illnes and going blind and holding back on sasuke he could have still killed him so I think itachi is the best! 
M+94

The only reason this guy died was because Kishimoto said that had Itachi not died he would've beaten Madara. Beaten his ass. Crushed the crap out of him. This guy is AMAZING so emotional too - his last words were " Sorry Sasuke looks like this is it " and when reanimated " I will love you always ". Man Sasuke was lucky to have such a badass as a brother - owning a Susanoo and having learnt the Izanami, Tsukyomi and Amaterasu and well as being a boss. Itachi all the way!

5Hashirama Senju

You people are NUTS! Why is he on 6th? Just close your eyes and try to go through the chapters again. Madara Uchiha was not even slightly harmed whilst fighting the current FIVE KAGES in the WAR! And Hashirama Senju defeated him AND THE NINE-TAILS! (by the way, its HASHIRAMA SENJU) This is the actual list:
5: Itachi Uchiha
4: Naruto Uzumaki
3: Madara Uchiha
2: Hashirama Senju
1: Sage of the six paths (He is a legend by the way, nobody knows if he existed)M+129

Madara should be second, despite the fact that he came back alive and fought hashirama that also has unlimited chakra being edo-tensei. Also fought the tailed beasts being blind and survive their attacks - adeola_tcM 

Are you nuts. This guy was said to be the strongest ninja of his time (before madara who is supposedly third on this list). He beat madara hands down at the valley of the end. It was even said that hashirama senju almost oreven killed him during their fight. Madara even went to the extent of summoning the nine tails but it was to no avail. The first hokage whipped his butt. Even madara confessed that he was not as strong as the first. He wast madara's rival at all. He was his superior. His wood release jutsu is flawless.M+37

Hashirama should be second. What type of list is this. In case you don't know. HASHIRAMA IS THE GOD OF ALL SHINOBI. - chukwjus000M+1

Hashirama should be the second oneM+31

Being Madara's rival, Hashirama should already be hogher on this list. Though knowing this, this list favors the characters that the people love. Itachi is a strong character, but I don't think we should count reanimations. Being a reincarnation of Ashura, this Senju God should definitelly be higher.Mnew

6Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke Uchiha is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Sasuke uchiha is powerful shinobi because of his strong ninjutsu, fast speed, intelligent mind. He also has power of mangekyo sharingan.
Powerful attack power of chidori and amateratsu. Special defense of susanooM+66

Sasuke just has so much darkness from corrupt anger which fills out not having a childhood and I think his anger is limitless making his strength unmatchable depending on sasukes mind setM+40

Sasuke is much stronger than some of the top on this page. He can match Naruto, so I personally think he is stronger than Minato, and he should also be at the top of the list with Naruto. Sasuke is strong, and proved himself in battle. He also defeated Itachi; which shows that even if Itachi is strong physically. He is still weak in mind.M+7

This is trash,sasuke is the best,coolest,most handsome, character in naruto and he is clearly the most fastest character because his rinnegan makes him teleport faster than anyone in naruto history,this is the real list 1.sage of six paths 2.sasuke 3.minato 4.madara 5.kakashi 6.itachi 7.guy 8.hashirama 9.naruto 10.AY (3rd raikage)Mnew

7Obito Uchiha
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBDi7f8sl3w&index=12&list=UUZlEwmrLh_2uR52LeJOr-TQ

He may not live up to the strength of Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, but was a major power house through out the series. He was able to tame the Nine Tails, and practically destroy the village. He fooled the whole shinobi world into war, believing that he was the real Madara Uchiha. He took on two Tailed Beast jinjuriki, plus two skilled Leaf ninjas at once, and still gave a decent fight. He tricked Madara and became the 10 tails jinjuriki, and ever since that, he been kicking everyones ass. Not only is this guy strong, but intelligent to, he tricked sasuke, kisame and nagato into doing his dirty work, plus out smarted everyone of his opponents during the war and in general. This guy deserves at least in the top 2 or 3, considering his transformation into a jinjuriki.M+22

Oh come on guys! He was able to use the wood style jutsu with his senju cells without any stress! I mean he created the Fourth Shinobi World War only with his intelligence! I mean this guy proved to be a tough opponent to both Naruto and Sasuke alike. Not to mention he was able to trick Madara into sealing the ten tail jinchuriki into himself. And most importantly he was defeated because he no longer wished to fight and went through a emotional stress not because he wasn't powerful enoughM+13

He has the 10 tails now, and the first and second claimed his power was superior to the Sage of Six (how they could know this is beyond me). He should at least be number 2 at the moment behind the Sage of Six, followed by Madara and then Naruto (those could be switched as well. )M+11

Come on, he was a sage at one point. They shouldn't have been able to beat him, but they had to. He also probably gave up due to narutos inspirational words.Mnew

8Kaguya Ōtsutsuki

The SAGE OF SIX PATHS said she was stronger. You know, that legendary, god-like individual that sealed the ten tails becoming the first jinchuuriki sealing its body and splitting its mind on his deathbed, said that this character is STRONGER. How is this even a debateM+28

John Lennon said she was, in her prime, physically stronger. Oprah Winfrey later confirmed this in chapter 688.M+18

Why is she 9th? She's the strongest character in all of Naruto, hands down. She was mother of the Sage of the Six Paths, who even though he is at the top of this list, claimed that Kaguya was stronger than even himself. She can look at any technique and master it. She's basically God. She just by looking at you can force you to do her will. This shouldn't be a question of who's stronger, but how much stronger she is compared to the Sage of Six Paths.M+4

Oh look at that progenitor of chakra is at 8 th. She should be no.2 for sure then hashirama senjuMnew

9Minato Namikaze

MINATO IS SO ASWSOME. he sealed the 9 tails/kubyi in his own son had a with was the 4 hokage has flying god power is just plan hot was one of the best hokage and is equal with his son had a son and is a blone with blue eyes and should be up at 2 place with his son naruto ps HE IS HOT!M+53

For me MINATO NAMIZAKE is the one of strongest character in naruto. He was the fourth hokage, the man who responsible for sealing the nine-tailed in he's son naruto and the first man defeated tobi/obito & kyuubi too. Minato have a natural talent, he's smarter than UCHIHA ITACHI he created the amazing technique that called RASEGAN Yellow Flash, the Flying Thunder God technique, goes without saying, purely fantastically unique and one of a kind. Minato also has amazing reflexes, as stated by A (Raikage), he is not faster than Raikai through teleportation, but faster than Raikage in reflexes. Argueably, being close to instant in speed and instant doesn't make much of a difference for any humans anyway, so in theory, they were nearly same "speed" and it came down to reflexes. I repeat MINATO NAMIKAZE is the one strongest character.. NOT the stongest :)) thnk you for reading my opinion..

Reckless Felix
PHILIPPINEM+26

He defeated Madara while trying to protect his son, wife, and the village.. Every other fight I see like Madara vs 1st hokage is a 1v1.. But minato beat tobi dealing with multiple things.. And tobi > madara =)M+35

This is the only thing that I disagree with this list. Minato should be in at least the top 5, not #9. I mean like, bro, he was able to seal the ninetaled beast in Naruto, and can also still fight with no arms.Mnew

10Pain

Pain vs Itachi would be a good fight, and Minato vs Pain would be a really good fight. Pain, Itachi, and Minato are tied in 4th 5th and 6th in my oppinion. (Nagato has a jutsu to create a miniature moon, and another jutsu that destroyed the whole entire village in one hit. )M+39

I hate it when people vote for more hyped shinobis higher. Like-itachi could do this and that. Itachis is one of my favorite characters, but if you think rationally and analyse the arsenal of each shinobi, I don't see any shinobi other than rikudo himself who can beat Nagato one on one.M+29

Um hello? He's the strongest member of Akatsuki, so that means he's stronger than itachi.M+29

Um hello? Itachi uchiha defeated him during 4th great ninja war...M 

He would be over minatonand kaguya,if only some idiots did not list him thrice.
