Naruto Uzumaki's Coolest Powers

Advertisement

All over Naruto, everyone's favorite idiot ninja grew more powerful through a combination of necessity, grueling training, and a desire to help his friends. His progression from a poor, ostracized ninja to the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village is a story that fans still can't get enough of, even 6 years after its conclusion. The various skills Naruto learned throughout his journey have made him one of the most powerful shinobi in the series.

The extra chakra he received from the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within him, along with his fierce determination and training, allowed him to hone his unique fighting style and bring his signature techniques, such as the Shadow Clone Jutsu, to their full potential. From the adaptability achieved in his Kurama Chakra Mode to the skill enhancement granted by Sage Mode, Naruto has developed several exciting abilities that have helped him dominate battles and save the ninja world time and time again.

Shadow Clone Jutsu

While many other characters can use the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Naruto revolutionized this ability. During his time in the academy, he was often ridiculed for his inability to produce a well-designed and fully functional shadow clone. However, when Iruka sensei was in trouble, Naruto was able to produce not one, but countless shadow clones to defeat his first villain, Mizuki.

Naruto became so proficient in using this jutsu that it became his signature move throughout the series. While most ninjas produce a few clones at a time, Naruto has been known to use hundreds. Naruto became so skilled at using this technique that he even used his shadow clones to train and learn other, more complex jutsus.

 Summoning Jutsu

When the Summoning Jutsu was first introduced, it was primarily used by experienced and skilled ninja such as the Third Hokage, Orochimaru, Kakashi, and Jiraiya. The Summoning Jutsu allows the user to summon creatures to aid them in battle. When Jiraiya agreed to train Naruto, he taught him about the Summoning Jutsu and instructed him to make a contract with the toads on Mount Myoboku.

Naruto became familiar with this advanced jutsu at a young age. Although he struggled with it at first, he was able to summon Gamabunta, the strongest toad on Mount Myoboku, very quickly. Naruto's powers only advanced from here, reaching explosive levels during his battle with Pain in Naruto Shippuden.

Rasengan

After the Shadow Clone, the Rasengan is Naruto's other signature jutsu. The frequency with which he performs this jutsu belies its difficulty. This is a technique that only four people in history have ever mastered – it took the Fourth Hokage three years to master. It is similar in concept to the extremely powerful Tailed Beast Ball, as it transforms pure chakra into a destructive sphere in the user's palm. Naruto has put his creativity to use with this technique countless times, and the fact that it has no inherent chakra nature makes it a very versatile jutsu. Any further mastery over the Rasengan will allow the user to greatly increase its size and power, such as with the Giant Rasengan and Massive Rasengan.

Wind Release: Rasengan

Naruto is able to use the Wind Release: Rasengan after molding his chakra nature into the original Rasengan form. Naruto's chakra affinity is Air, which gives his ninjutsu a definite edge. By combining it with his Rasengan, he is able to create the Wind Release: Rasengan. This Naruto This ability is not used much in the series, as it is quickly overshadowed by its more powerful counterpart, the Rasenshuriken. However, it goes without saying that it is stronger than the Rasengan. Naruto has also shown that he can throw it like the Rasenshuriken, and when used in a collaboration jutsu, it is able to expand the area of effect of the jutsu it is paired with.

Mini Rasenshuriken

When Naruto invented the Rasenshuriken, he created one of the most powerful jutsu in the world at the time. However, it had many drawbacks. It required a ridiculously high amount of chakra, not to mention Naruto's injury when he tried to use it.

However, Naruto's creative nature allowed him to come up with more than one way to get around these drawbacks. One way to avoid this problem was to use the chakra arms provided by his Kurama Chakra Mode to create a small Rasenshuriken that was capable of cutting through White Zetsu clones without losing any momentum. Fans haven't seen much of this technique, but any variant of the Rasenshuriken is extremely powerful.

Planetary Rasengan

The Planetary Rasengan is the basic Rasengan taken to one of its most powerful forms. Naruto used it during the Fourth Great Ninja War to completely destroy the immortal shinobi Edo Tensei. He created this technique by forming a Giant Rasengan and then creating three regular Rasengans that the largest one absorbed.

All of these Rasengan had different rotations, and the resulting disordered spin destroyed the opponents and generated a massive, deadly vortex. This attack was powerful enough to completely disintegrate Mu, who was immortal due to the effects of Edo Tensei. Furthermore, Mu was the former Tsuchikage who was powerful enough to finish off the Second Mizukage.

Super Mini Tailed Beast Ball

The Super Mini Tailed Beast Ball has been teased for so long, but it's never really been given its due. The technique was first mentioned when Bee was training Naruto, and it was suggested that a Tailed Beast Ball was similar to a Rasengan, so it might be possible to combine the two. However, the technique was very difficult and Naruto didn't master it until the start of the Fourth Great Ninja War.

He performed this jutsu by forming a mini Tailed Beast Ball in his hands and using it like a Rasengan. He didn't do it often, but when he did, he proved himself to be overpowered. However, once he gained the ability to make a real Tailed Beast Ball, it Naruto skill has become obsolete.

Sage mode

The ability that allowed him to become Konoha's savior, Sage Mode, became a vital part of Naruto's arsenal once he learned it. Sage Mode is an advanced mode obtained by collecting Natural Energy, or Senjutsu. The ability enhances the user's strength, speed, senses, reflexes, and durability.

In Sage Mode, Naruto is strong enough to lift and throw the Nine-Tailed Fox and fast enough to attack the Asura Path of Pain. He can enhance his taijutsu with invisible natural energy, automatically sense chakra, and enhance all of his jutsu with senjutsu, greatly increasing their power. Sage Mode's access to natural energy proved vital to Naruto during the Fourth Great Shinobi War.

Rasenshuriken

By further shaping the Wind Release: Rasengan, Naruto is able to transform it into the much more powerful Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. When the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken hits its target, it envelops them in a massive vortex of wind and attacks their body on a cellular level, causing irreversible internal damage as well as an explosion nearly as large as the Nine-Tails. This Naruto The ability was so powerful that it initially damaged Naruto when he used it. However, when he learned Sage Mode, he was able to cast Wind Release: Rasenshuriken fast enough to cross a village-sized crater in about a second. This makes it an extremely powerful and versatile technique.

Kurama Chakra Mode

Without Kurama Chakra Mode, it would have been virtually impossible for Naruto to survive the war. Naruto was able to achieve this form by internally fighting the Nine-Tailed Fox into submission and taking its chakra for his own use. Kurama Chakra Mode envelops Naruto in a bright orange cloak that grants him incredible strength, speed, durability, and versatility. By the time he achieved this form, he had surpassed the Kage level.

He was fast enough to outrun the Fourth Raikage, who was widely considered the fastest shinobi in the world at the time. He was so strong that he accidentally stepped on concrete. It also allowed Naruto to use extendable chakra arms to attack and form his various Rasengan variants.

Tailed Beast Ball

Once Naruto was finally able to work together with Kurama, he gained even more abilities that he had never had access to before. One of these abilities was the legendary and devastating Tailed Beast Bomb that every Bijuu can produce. As the Nine-Tailed Fox is the most powerful Bijuu, Naruto's Tailed Beast Bomb was powerful enough to counter the Tailed Beast Bombs of five other Bijuu at the same time. The Tailed Beast Bomb has a shape-shifting element similar to the Rasengan, but contains much more power. The Nine-Tailed Fox's Tailed Beast Bomb produced explosions the size of mountains and is the ultimate attack of a Bijuu.

Bijuu Mode

When Naruto finally became a perfect jinchūriki, he gained access to the final form of Kurama Chakra Mode: Tailed Beast Mode. This further enhanced his physical abilities. Most powerful, however, was his ability to manifest a life-sized avatar of the Nine-Tailed Fox. This avatar allowed the Nine-Tailed Fox and Naruto to truly combine their powers and fight against massive foes, such as other tailed beasts or the perfect Susanoo. Naruto used this form to lead the Allied Shinobi Forces in an attack on the Ten-Tails. He then fought Obito alongside Sasuke while he was the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki. This Naruto power became his preferred form in the future, even after gaining access to something more powerful.

Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken

One of the best Naruto powers, the Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken and its variants have the power to reshape landscapes and damage beings that approach the strength of the Sage of the Six Paths. Naruto achieved this form after gaining access to Six Paths Sage Mode. This technique is achieved by creating a Tailed Beast Bomb and surrounding it with a massive Rasenshuriken.

The most powerful version of this technique is the Six Paths: Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken. This attack has Naruto launch a Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken and an Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken, both infused with natural energy. This attack was powerful enough to counter Sasuke's most powerful attack: the tailed beast-enhanced Indra Arrow.

Six Paths Sage Mode

Naruto gained access to this divine form when the Sage of Six Paths gave him the power to defeat Madara. Six Paths Sage Mode is an enhanced form of Sage Mode that enhances his physical attributes, allows him to fly, and gives him access to Truth-Seeking Balls, as well as shape-shifting chakra masses that cancel out all ninjutsu. This mode allowed Naruto to overpower Madara, the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki at the time. It also allowed him, along with the rest of Team 7, to defeat Kaguya, the first person to possess chakra. Kaguya was powerful enough to warp dimensions and possessed several instantaneous power moves. However, this mode allowed Naruto to not only survive the battle, but also defeat her.

Baryon Mode

Making his first appearance in Boruto, Naruto Uzumaki's Baryon Mode is arguably the coolest technique at his disposal. The chakra reservoirs belonging to Kurama and Naruto are transformed into something completely new. This procedure resembles nuclear fusion, explaining why it is called Baryon Mode.

Sasuke is deeply impressed by Naruto's resulting energy output, which later allows the latter to surpass even Issiki Otsutsuki. That said, this devastatingly effective technique comes with several limitations, such as putting Kurama and Naruto in potentially fatal danger. Furthermore, Naruto must maintain his concentration at all times or risk losing control of Baryon Mode entirely.
