Orochimaru and Kakashi movin' on up!

1. Yakushi Kabuto

A perfect Sage with many abilities... he controlled Madara, Nagato, Itachi, and many others as pawns.

2. Uchiha Madara

The true successor of Rikudō Sennin... all other modern Rikudō have merely borrowed Madara's awakened power.

3. Senju Hashirama

He defeated Pre-Rinnegan Madara, was a perfect Sage, and controlled multiple tailed beasts in his prime.

4. Uchiha Obito

In his prime, Obito controlled seven of the tailed beasts along with his own powerful abilities: Kamui, and Izanagi.

5. Orochimaru

He controls Minato, Tobirama, and Hiruzen... but not Hashirama. He's also a very powerful ninja himself.

6. Uzumaki Naruto

Had the power to take on seven tailed beasts at once. His shunshin and destructive capabilities are enormous.

7. Uzumaki Nagato

Nagato came to completely master Madara's eyes, albeit without access to Uchiha abilities.

8. Uchiha Sasuke

A master of Amaterasu―combining it with his Susano'o― and a likely possessor of Itachi's items.

9. Uchiha Itachi

His ninjutsu was hyped to be offensively and defensively invincible; his illusion powers were just as hyped.

I BECOME LESS CERTAIN HERE

10. Killer Bee

Between Samehada and his Jinchūriki power, Killer Bee is immune to all but the most supreme techniques.

11. Senju Tobirama

Tobirama invented Hiraishin and Edo Tensei; he also has the immense Senju life force and famed Suiton power.

12. Namikaze Minato

A master of Hiraishin, and thus regarded as the fastest man to ever live. Lacks offensive power though.

13. Hatake Kakashi

While Kamui is his signature hax jutsu, Kakashi is also immensely fast, intelligent, and well-rounded.

14. Sarutobi Hiruzen

Mostly hype. Hiruzen surpasses nearly all ninja in eclectic talent, but possessed no special abilities.

15. Mū

When Mū's resurrection was made known, the Five Kages believed only Ōnoki‎ could stand against him.

16. Ōnoki

Madara considered Ōnoki to be a level above the other four Kages.

I BECOME EVEN LESS CERTAIN HERE

17. Shimura Danzō

An Izanagi user that could use Kotoamatsukami many times per day. (Kotoamatsukami can be countered?)

18. Deidara

c4 clones can essentially surprise-rape anybody without dōjutsu‎. He designed it to kill Itachi.

19. Yondaime Kazekage

Probably the most underrated ninja IMO. He SUMMONS tidal waves of gold dust instantly. No need for grinding.

20. 2nd Mizukage

A water logia that possessed powerful mass genjutsu, plus Joki was incredibly fast and damaging.

21. Hoshigake Kisame

With Samehada, Kisame could absorb & regenerate. His jutsu are enormous, and absorb other ninjutsu...

22. 3rd Raikage

His body was nearly invincible, he moved incredibly quickly, and his nukite could pierce almost any defense

23. Jiraiya

A possessor of powerful ninjtusu, Jiriaya could also access an imperfect Sage Mode after a minute or two.

24. A

Very one-dimensional, but also very durable (needing a Chidori-level jutsu to pierce his cloak) and fast.

25. Sasori

His poisoned iron sand and puppets are pretty monstrous.

Surprised that Itachi isn't sitting at #1 spot in your list to be honest.
Nice. Although Shisui and Danzo are too high up [imho].

PS: Edo Madara?

We don't know enough about Shisui to put him on the list. And in regards to Madara, he awakened the Rin'negan when he was really old and couldn't fight - unless you're talking about Edo Madara in a living body. And Nagato > Naruto since what's Naruto gonna do against the Preta Path?

It's funny you have Madara as second for a start, then go on to say people borrowed power from him, when really, it's all Izuna and Hashirama's power.
Ultimately with your list, I respectfully disagree on several accounts, especially including Edo zombies as a person's power, and as people themselves.

Edit: I really like, though slightly disagree at first glance on Kakashi's placement, and also Danzo is by definition first place.

Good point. I meant in terms of other modern Rikudō.

Good point. Madara used Hashirama and Izuna to reach his level.

But ultimately, all modern top tiers are leeching off of Madara's knowledge and abilities.

Elaborate, please.

Madara innovated everything being used.

Gedō Mazō was his invention. The black spikes are his invention. The Zetsu army is his invention.

Integrating Hashirama's DNA was his invention. (Although Orochimaru reproduced this separately.)

He was the one to teach Obito Uchiha kinjutsu.

Etc. Tobirama has had the second most influence, I'd say.

Well, the Gedo Mazou is the Ten Taills' husk, I'll give you the flower and Zetsu army, but it stops there.
The black spikes are not his invention, if you are referring to Chakra blades that is.
The integrating of Hashirama's DNA is irrelivent really.
The fact he taught Obito anything is irrelivent, it's like me saying Jiraiya is top 3 because he taught Naruto, Nagato and Minato.
And really, as a Sharingan user, originality isn't really in his job description.

By the way, you know some random guy thought I was trolling about the part where some of Madara's power is from Hashirama and Izuna? When you even agreed with me :L

3) Obito
4) Nagato
5) Naruto
6) Kabuto
7) Sasuke
8) Tobirama/Itachi/Minato
9) Muu/Nidaime Mizukage
10) Sandaime Raikage/Bee

Troll thread but you did have a decent list except. Minato switch with killer bee, kabuto shouldn't be #1 and five behind him should move up a spot

Why do people think this is a troll thread exactly?



Minato doesn't have the offensive power to beat Bee, or even a few people below him. He's troublesome to rank.



He controlled Edo Madara, Edo Itachi, Edo Nagato, and many others. How is he not number one?

Edo Tensei has nothing to do with a character's placement, or summoning in general, except in the rare occasion of Nagato and Puppet users, people who use inanimate objects as tools.

Why would that be the case? It's a Kuchiyose.

If Kuchiyose: Gambabuta affects someone's placement, then Kuchiyose: Madara does too lol.

I just said above that it doesn't, if it's an individual being, it doesn't count.

You've shown your lack of knowledge by:

Putting Orochimaru so low when he possess Senju DNA and 3 Edo Hokages

Putting Nagato under Naruto

Putting featless Tobirama above Minato

Putting Obito under Madara

Putting Minato under Kirabi when he didn't stand a chance last time

Misspelling Uzumaki...
