Warning, this article is full of spoiler!
20. Zetsu

This powerful “artificial shinobi” is actually two: the union between the White Zetsu and the Black Zetsu .

Responsible for high-level crimes, this skilled puppeteer ( Kugutsu no Jutsu ) managed to assassinate the Third Kazekage (who was considered the most powerful ninja in the Sand Village).
Oh, and as if that wasn't enough to prove his power, Sasori was even able to invade an entire country by himself!
