Sense of Smell
Kiba can smell chakra. This means that his sense of smell works on energy, not just physical matter. This would allow Kiba to tell when an opponent is gathering chakra to use a jutsu, giving him more time to react than non sensors.

With the usage of smoke bombs, Kiba can blind his opponents and use his and Akamaru's sense of smell to track his opponents while they are vulnerable ( )( ).

Even transformation techniques won't fool Kiba due to his sense of smell ( )( ).

Enemy traps can be detected via scent ( ).

In Shippuden, as noted by Kakashi himself considering it surpassed that of Kakashi's ninja hounds. In part one, Kiba's nose was inferior to Kakashi's ( ) whose nose was inferior to his own ninja hounds. All in all, this means that Shippuden Kiba>ninja hounds>Kakashi>part one Kiba when it comes to smelling.

Transformation Techniques
The Inuzuka clan is very skilled when it comes to transformation techniques as shown by these following techniques.

Beast Human Clone
Kiba and Akamaru both transform into an identical clone, both using the four legged technique ( ) in conjuction.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Double Headed Wolf
Kiba and Akamaru merge together to transform into the double headed wolf ( )( ).

Notice how large their combination transformation is in comparison to Sakon/Ukon despite Sakon/Ukon being closer to us than Kiba/Akamaru? Not to mention their teeth are large and sharp, so are their claws which goes to show how lethal they are with ordinary physical attacks.

Databook 2 - Jinjuu Combi Henge: Soutourou:
NINJUTSU; Jinjuu Combi-Henge: Soutourou (Human-Beast Combined Shapeshifting: Double-Headed Wolf)
User: Inuzuka Kiba; Akamaru
Supplementary; Rank: B

Main text

This combined shapeshifting where man and beast become a single entity is a specialty of the Inuzuka clan, a clan that has been walking side by side with Ninja Dogs for generations. They coalesce into a bicephalous wolf, thus drastically increasing their power. In their direct attacks, they demonstrate great efficiency. Furthermore, using jutsu in addition to this gives birth to an extraordinary power of destruction.

Caption

-The voracious wolf totally obliterates the worthless masses* in its ferocity!!

Picture comment

-This is the combination ninjutsu Kiba and Akamaru owe to their friendship. Like wolves, they corner the enemy with an overwhelming offensive power.
*有象無象 (uzoumuzou) translates as "riff-raff", "mob". Or "fodder", if you like.
Basically this combination transformation has much greater physical strength, speed and durability compared to Kiba and Akamaru alone.

In addition, the saliva that the can .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Triple Headed Wolf
Kiba creates a shadow clone and after that, the clone, Kiba himself and Akamaru merge together ( )( ).
____________________________________________________________________________________________

Speed​

Four Legs Technique
After activating the Four Legs Technique, which is , Kiba's speed increases. After activating this technique, Kiba managed to blitz Naruto.

Databook 1 - Shikakyu no Jutsu:
Quadruped Technique (四脚の術, Shikyaku no Jutsu)
Ninjutsu, D-rank, Supplementary
User: Inuzuka Kiba

Accelerated fighting instinct
The speed of a wild animal baring its fangs!!

One of the Beast Imitation Ninja Arts*, a beast transformation allowing one to mimic the beasts' movement. By stretching chakra around one's entire body and moving on all fours, one obtains super-high speed, like that of a wild animal.
The power of an attack during this acceleration is incredible, and because the accuracy is also increased, hunting down the prey with a hit-and-run tactic fits Kiba best while using this technique.

[picture of Kiba standing on all fours]
[picture of Kiba attacking Naruto after having used this technique]
←↑From that characteristic pose, he charges at once with breakneck speed, unable to be followed, even with one's eyes!!

*擬獣忍法 (Gijuu Ninpou). Literally "Imitation Beast Ninja Art".

After eating a , Kiba's speed increases even further. He ends up constantly blitzing Naruto who can barely react ( )( )( ). if it wasn't for plot as Kiba could have instead finished Naruto off while he was knocked on the ground.

Later on, from the back after . Once again, if it wasn't for plot, Naruto would have gotten beat up here.

Kiba's double/triple headed wolf transformations further increase his speed which if coupled with soldier pills, would make Kiba ever faster, especially with Shippuden scaling.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

Durability and Resilience​
Kiba survived a steep fall with hardly any damage ( )( ). with a powerful blow but . Kiba also tanks from Sakon. Once Sakon goes in CS1, Kiba ends up .

In his double headed wolf form, Kiba and Akamaru end up with the Rashomon gate which is a very impressive durability feat because, by , the Rashomon gate must have exerted a force on Kiba equal to the amount of force Kiba himself exerted on the Rashomon gate. You can argue that the Third law doesn't apply in the manga as certain characters like Sakura or Tsunade don't feel a force on their fists after punching their target, but in Kiba's case, it clearly did enough damage to knock him out of his double headed wolf form. This means Newton's Third Law did apply in Kiba's case so the durability feat holds. In summary, it means that it'll take the same amount of force as was contained in Wolf Fang over Fang to knock him out of double headed wolf form but it won't be strong enough to incapacitate Kiba, let alone kill him.

Kiba's resilience is also very overwhelming considering despite all the damage he took previously, he managed to survive a .

While the triple headed wolf is featless in durability, it is canonically more powerful so its durability should also increase compared to double headed wolf especially with Shippuden scaling where both Kiba and Akamaru are far more powerful than before.

Destructive Power​

Fang over fang
During the Chuunin exams, Kiba's are , let alone kill. Regardless, by the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, this technique is now lethal as explained by the bolded quote from the databook entry below.

Databook 2 - Tsuuga:
TAIJUTSU; Tsuuga (Traveling Fang)
User: Inuzuka Kiba; Akamaru
Offensive; Close, Medium ranges; Rank: D

Main text

A body slam where one spins at a high speed, thus augmenting power and perforating force to an uncanny maximum*. Since this is a solo instance of the Gatsuuga ("Double Traveling Fang), as it's called, it is characterized by an even greater attack speed potential. It was apparently incomplete during the Chuunin exam, but since then training has improved it into a death-dealing "fang".

Captions

-An attack of fulminating savagery is unleashed, akin to the crushing fangs of a gigantic beast!

-The roar the fanged beast!!

Picture comment

-Including a spin to this simple charge earns it a perforating power that drills even through stone. For a direct impact however, there's a need to anticipate the enemy's movements, as the trajectory is somewhat linear.
*貫通 (kantsuu)="pierce, perforate". 通力 (tsuuriki)="mysterious power". Japanese text says 貫通力. The furigana pronunciation (kantsuuryoku) suggests there is no pun, but hey! This is Kishi-sensei writing, right here! So...
Fang over fang can now drill through stone as explained by the databook above and this was shown when it went up against Jirobo's chakra infused self regenerating earth dome ( )( ).

In Shippuden, this technique is strong enough to and .

When Kiba is using fang over fang, he can cancel the technique whenever he wants without lag considering he managed to catch the barrel right after using fang over fang ( )( ).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wolf Fang Over Fang
Databook 2 - Garouga:
TAIJUTSU; Garouga (Ravenous Wolf's Double Fang*)
User: Inuzuka Kiba
Offensive; Medium, Long ranges; Rank: B

Main text

Man and beast transform into a single bicephalous, gigantic animal thanks to Jinjuu Combi-Henge: Soutourou**, and have their body spin in a violent assault against the enemy...!! The excessively high speed of the rotation strips the caster of their field of vision, but marking the enemy beforehand makes it possible to tail them with the sense of smell! This is a jutsu from the Inuzuka-style repertoire, enabled by a combination with Akamaru and the Gijuu Ninpou (Mimicking Beast Ninja Art).

Captions

-Grazed flesh and blood fly about, mangled and torn! This is the feral, gigantic Bicephalous Wolf**!!

-A full-bodied ultra-spinning!!

Picture comments

-The preparations are complete once the enemy is marked by the smell of Akamaru's Dynamic Marking***! They shapeshift into the two-headed wolf and attack!!

-The Two-Headed Wolf's** ultra-violent rotation creates a vacuum vortex in its surroundings, that tears the enemy apart even without touching them directly!!
*Literally, "fang wolf fang". Written with the proper Kanji, "garou" would mean "hungry wolf". Except here, the "ga" means "fang", not "hunger". Hence the "double" part, to somewhat reflect the repetition of the word.
The double headed wolf allows Kiba to use Garouga, wolf fang over fang, which . During the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, it can only be used twice and it with Akamaru's . After the opponent is marked, sidestepping it is useless for two reasons.

1. The direction of the attack can be changed so it is similar to a guided missile. ( )( )( )( )
2. The invisible shockwaves of the attack created by the intense rotation of the transformation are even faster and difficult to anticipate especially when the target will be focussed on the giant dog as opposed to the shockwaves.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You would imagine that the triple headed wolf is only 1.5 times more powerful than the double headed wolf but that is in fact incorrect as shown by the databook entry below.

4th Databook: Iinjū Kongō Henge — Santōrō
A super three headed wolf's ferocity is let loose when Human and Beast become one body!

Jutsu user and Jutsu user's Kage Bushin bodies, as well as the ninja dog literally become one body. "Jinjū Konbi Henge". The use of a "Kage Bushin no Jutsu" causes one more head to be added. Field of vision becomes vast, claws and fangs grow, It's offensive ability is 3 times that of "Soutou Rou (Double Head Wolf)". The third head is the Jutsu users control tower, to use the jutsu is EXTREMELY difficult.

To set loose three wild head. To bite every obstacle that endagers ones friends into pieces!
As shown above, the triple headed wolf's offensive ability is three times that of the double headed wolf. You also have to take into account that this is Shippuden Kiba and Shippuden Akamaru we are talking about so their double headed wolf in Shippuden will be much stronger than the double headed wolf used in part one, let alone the triple headed wolf in Shippuden. All in all, one Rashomon gate would get completely destroyed while the second one would take some damage as well. It took three Rashomon to cancel out the attack power of a TBB from 4 tailed Naruto so Kiba's attack power is almost half that of 4 tailed Naruto ( )( )( )( ).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tail Chasers
With the triple headed wolf, Kiba can perform Ooiga Gatenga which allowed him to effortlessly cut through half a dozen Juubi fodder ( )( ). Juubi fodder are made out of the and are larger than humans so they are in fact extremely durable. Pre Yin Seal Sakura's punch hardly did any damage to the Juubi fodder ( )( ) despite her punches being strong enough to destroy giant boulders ( )( )( ) and the .

Ooiga Gatenga:
The enemy is cut down by a whirlwind created by the three head watch dog of hades (cerberus)!

A hidden Jutsu inherited from the Inuzuka clan, A Taijutsu used during war against a crowd of enemies. Kiba, Kiba's Kage Bushin, and Akaamaru Trikaya (three bodies of the buddha) become one, transform into a gigantic three headed dog. Ones physical condition improves resulting in ones speed going into high grear, rotation is then used to assault a group of enemies. Rotating parallel to the ground the range of the attack widens, in a moment many enemies are swallowed up. The power of the rotation's centrifugal force increases ones fangs (basically makes the attack stronger), enemy is painlessly bisected, It becomes possible to immediately overturn any difference in war potential based on numerical strength.

In proportion to the amount of Kagebushin the number of attacks increase, the power also doubles each time overwhelming the opponent
This attack also uses rotation much like Garouga (wolf fang over fang) yet despite this high speed rotation, Kiba didn't need to mark the Juubi fodder which goes to show that Kiba can use his high rotational techs like Garouga and Ooiga Gatenga (Tail chasers) without having to use dynamic marking beforehand. This makes sense because Kiba's sense of smell improved dramatically by Shippuden.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Akamaru​
Kiba can understand what Akamaru tells him even though all Akamaru does is bark. This means Akamaru can relay information to Kiba without the enemies knowing what Akamaru is saying.

Furthermore, Akamaru can smell enemy chakra so he's also a chakra sensor who can tell just how powerful an enemy is. Akamaru managed to tell that from 1km away ( ).

Akamaru is fast enough to catch Naruto off guard as Naruto escapes the smoke cloud ( )( ). This goes to show that Akamaru can outspeed your average shinobi so he is by no means slow.

Akamaru's physical abilities increase dramatically after he eats a solider pill ( )( ) considering Naruto's clone which was restraining Akamaru instantly got overpowered right after eating it. This would also increase Akamaru's speed, reactions and chakra to a whole other level ( ).

As a matter of fact, Akamaru's speed is on par with Kiba's as his and Kiba's blitzes were synchronized with each other ( )( )( ).

Akamaru can also set up traps like paper tag bombs ( ).

Akamaru can piss on his opponents via , marking them with the scent of his piss and if it hits the opponent's eyes, they .

In Shippuden, so it stands to reason his physical attributes such as speed, stamina, durability and attack power have all increased substantially.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Master of Traps​
During the CE forest of death stage, Kiba managed to set up a trap which fooled a whole team of genins ( )( ). Kiba managed to fool Ukon into thinking that Akamaru was left behind when in fact it was a . Kiba did this right after blinding Ukon with a smoke bomb and got away despite him placing a trap and him being wounded ( )( ).

I stopped at Durability and Resilience, it was like typing up a Physics Coursework. I am sure the below part is still good. ;) Rep for you.

Great Work!
Honestly, I don't think Kiba is that good of a character and his battle capabilities are below average. He certainly isn't weak though.

I really like Kiba and i think he's really underrated. Like everyone on the k11 he reached jonnin level, since he could at least do something in the war arc while some jonnins were getting killed by Zetsus.

Not specialized in combat =/= being weak. I alwats imagined Kiba working for the anbu making a great use of his tracking skills.

But i'm not saying kiba is useless in combat, he has some things to do on this category too.

Nice review on one of the most underrated characters of naruto, +rep for you

I thought you were done about analyzing threads and last one was about Temari. My mind is playing games I suppose. Anyway cool thread.
I made a after my Temari one.

Well I think Kiba can stomp the likes of Zabuza, Hidan, etc., all of whom are high jounin level so I'm starting to think he is low kage level mostly due to power scaling as opposed to feats.

When did I say I like Kiba?
I don't know. Making a pretty detailed post about a character at least signifies that you like him or his abilities. Tbh I think he might be low kage level now instead of high jounin. The strength and speed of his attacks is pretty impressive. Still don't think he can beat Neji, Chouji, or Lee though. Also can the Three Headed Wolf piss on opponents?

Well I think Kiba is very underrated as shown by the poll where people seem to think he's only low jounin level. Ever since I joined the website, I've seen people claim that Kiba is one of the weaker ones in K11 but recently I've been realizing that Kiba is actually one of the stronger ones. I think Kiba can beat Neji and Chouji high difficulty.

Do you think Kiba can clone his double headed wolf transformation while he's already transformed? I don't see why not.

Kiba can probably piss on his opponents after he has transformed as he's now a dog but larger. Naruto Wiki claims it can but it doesn't offer any proof.

Great thread and I agree, Kiba is definitely underrated. Shino too, that guy almost gets no action but can be a top gunner and defeat some low name characters despite having only a few fighting panels.

That would depend on how large his chakra reserves are. He'd tire out a lot faster. His fighting style kind of seems like an all out run and gun to me. High risk, but high reward, though he seems to be very skilled in other areas.

Do you think Kiba can beat Mei or Tsunade? I've seen people say that Chouji can beat Mei and Tsunade.

Well if a slightly injured/worn out part one Kiba can maintain double headed wolf for two uses of Garouga, part two Kiba with soldier pills should be able to maintain two double headed wolves for a decent amount of time. Not to mention Kiba in the WA can use triple headed wolf which is three times stronger than the double headed wolf and the fact that he has to split his chakra twice before using triple headed wolf so maintaining two double headed wolves should be just as challenging as maintaining a triple headed wolf.

I think Kiba can beat Tsunade but not Mei. Chouji can't beat either kage.
