uh the does the 1st hokage count? if so then ill go with him.
1st hokage doesn't count, he had gekkei genkai, it has to be ninjas with pure raw talent, no dojutsu, no jinchuuriki, no gekkei genkai, no curse mark ... etc
naruto because thats what the story is about its not called the 3rd or minato its called NARUTO if you want to you can argue your logic but i dont care im right for once lol the only thing you can say is hes not the strongest now but we all know he will be and you if you think otherwise well thats ........i dont want to say dumb thats rude uh ....redonkulous. that may not be the right spelling but in my defence it is a made up word lol
Naruto doesn't count, he has Nine tails in him, so has the rules at the 1st page said, doesn't count. FAIL
For me it would be Suigetsu (guy stood up against TBB), Minato, Hiruzen, Tobirama, A, Sasori, Deidara, Orochimaru, Kisame, Kakuzu, Konan, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hanzo, Gaara, Guy /Gai, Rock Lee, Tsunade.
Are clans techniques restricted too? xD
